Today was a whirlwind day! I ran for 45 minutes, go the kids fed and off to school, picked up my 18 y/o (home from college! Yeah!), took apart his weight bench and made it all fit in my car (fun, right?), took a shower, took him shopping for shirts, took him grocery shopping, dropped my car off to get it repaired (hate that), got my son some lunch, and dropped him off at my mother's where he's house/pet sitting for a month. Got back just in time to get the boys from school, do some real work, and make dinner - It flew by!!
What did you ladies to today?
Have you ever had one of those days..I'm there, and not so happy about it...
Four little monkeys running ’round my house.. One fell down and gave a squeal The others piled on top with hoots and howls Gathered on the floor amongst clothes and dirty towels No more monkeys running ’round my house Now they’re in costume..Darth and Spidey Snow trooper and Jawa sneaking up with an attack Laughs and giggles swirling ’round the house Love my monkeys ‘running round the house! How’s your day???
My mornings start with a cup of coffee sitting on the back porch in my robe with only my thoughts to distract me. Usually I think of frivolous things (me looking hot in a bikini on the beach in Hawaii) but this morning with my sister hundreds of miles away and going through such a sad time I thought “what happened”?
Have you ever seen Stuart on Saturday Night Live? I have a Stuart living in my home! He’s 6 years old and his name is Jake! Jake has what I like to call watch me fever! It seems that this child has endless bursts of energy. He can be dripping with sweat and yet he continues to yell, even if I’m right next to him, Mom! Watch me, Mom! Watch what I can do! After about the fifteenth handstand with feet flailing in the air, belly bared for all to see, my mind starts to wander.
I admit it…I’m dying to be a bridesmaid. The last time I was a bridesmaid was in 1996 in my best friend’s wedding (let me clarify that, I was Maid of Honor). There we were just out of college; all of the wedding hoopla was so new and fresh, so exciting! We dutifully marched down the aisle and served the bride as prescribed.
We are finally in the 21st century and on Facebook! Our site is WomensNest Forum - PLEASE BECOME OUR FRIEND! I hated looking at that page and it read “WomensNest” has no friends.
So bummed…But now we have like 4 whole friends! And we didn’t have to pay them to accept us! Wahoo!!!
The movie 27 dresses was pretty good. I went with some friends and my DH, and expected it to be kinda cute - romantic - but I actually laughed out loud a few times! It was not hilarious, and I felt horrible for Katherine Hiegle. Her BIG moment was not big enough, the guy she falls for doesn’t really have any chemistry with her, so there’s no big lead up, and her sister is the typical it’s all about me girl. But somehow, I still enjoyed it.
I recently read the top 10 healthiest resolutions - keep in mind that every media avenue will probably have more than one take on this, but here’s what I took from the mag:
1. Eat more leafy greens
2. Ejnoy omega-3 rich foods twice each week
3. Walk for 1/2 hour each day
4. Breathe deeply for 5 minutes each day
6. Start eating quinoa
7. Use more spices
8. Create deadlines
9. Eat a better breakfast and lunch
10. Go to bed a half hour earlier
Hmmm..That was my dilemma this morning. My house had arms of its own and pulled me right in..work lost!
Loved it and hated it. I loved the characters in Waitress - thought they all were perfectly cut for their parts, especially Andy Griffith (Okay, I was an Opey kids). The movie took the viewer through the awful daily life of a waitress who was an awesome baker. Okay, so everyone has a talent, right? But her way out of the awful life was an accidental affair. While I was very happy for the main character to have a prince, or a light at the end of her gloomy, dreadful days, is this really a great answer?
Do you ever wake up and wish you could just sort of float through the day? Not go back to sleep, as you’re not sleepy, but just go through your day with no thought at all. No decisions about what to eat or what to do, just smile and do or eat whatever you feel you want to at the moment. Even that might feel like it takes too much thought.
