So, um, yeah. Still haven't found my motivation. Soon though, soon! I had good intentions of coming home from work yesterday and working out and other things. I ended up working a full day instead of getting off at 3 like I should, so by the time I got the princesses and got home, working out was the furthest from my mind.
Has anyone seen my motivation today? I need to get some exercise in and I have some crafting I need to finish up. I really need to do it, but yet....my butt's still in this chair!! Someone help me find my motivation!!
ACK! I can't believe it's been so long since I posted. It's been so dang busy and now we're coming up on the holiday season. ARGH! But anyway, have a great day, I'll be back!
Hey all! I'm still here, just this last week has been a whirlwind!!! School started, soccer started, first soccer game, work's been crazy, etc. etc. etc. :D
Phew! I'm beat! Let's see, we did so much today, I'll see if I can remember it all. I know you're all dying with anticipation of where we've been. Ha!
*Princesses' swimming lessons
*Target to get wedding shower gifts. Didn't find item that was clearanced. Found it, but it wasn't clearanced like it said it was online.
*Go home, check registry again.
*Head to Target #2 to check their registry. Get half way there, realize we forgot Oldest Princesses flute we were going to take in to be cleaned before school starts, so we turn around and head home
*Get home, get flute
*Back to Target #2. Same thing, not clearanced, but at least this time we got all the pages to the registry. Shop for other things for shower.
*Go to Kmart, where Cyndi told me they had cute Ts on sale. Ours didn't have them BOGO like hers. Oh well, didn't have what I was looking for anyway.
*Go to music store, argue with the guy that it needs cleaned. Especially since it's under warranty until I pay it off and I just dropped off the last payment
*Go to Wendy's for lunch and listen to some guy talk his tablemate's ear off about work crap.
*Go downtown to mall and drive around the block 4 times to find a parking place on the street as I have our stupid truck with the piperack on it and can't get into the parking garage.
*Run to Hallmark to look at Webkinz
*Run to Aeropostale because Oldest Princess had to go look *insert eyeroll here*
*Come home, realize I should have gone to the bank while downtown, but forgot
*Listed on eBay, still not showing as of this publication
*Parents called wanting to know if we wanted to go with them to get cat supplies for the cat that adopted them.
*Went to PetSmart, PetCo (it's where the pets go afterall) and Walmart
*Went back to their house, searching for said cat, who was nowhere to be found. Finally decide to have Mom bring us home and she looks out and cat is sitting there looking all innocent. So, bring her in and Oldest Princess plays with the cat for a while. Finally, we're driven home.
*Realize I missed my work shift at 8:30. ACK!
Yesterday was our 14th wedding anniversary. I've looked at some of my old haunts for pics, but since one of my main webpages has been down FOREVER (but hey, I can't complain, the space is free), I can't get to a wedding pic.
We didn't do much since on Saturday we went to the coast and went to dinner. Instead, we were at my parents house changing the chain and sprocket on my quad. Bahahaha Romantic, eh?
Well, yesterday was the 8th anniversary of my miscarriage. I didn't notice till I had to write the date out on a check, then it hit me. I handled the day pretty well though. Time does make it easier. Also having youngest Princess has helped a great deal, as we are so blessed to have her and her sister.
As I was sitting here this morning, I realized I wasn't feeling good. Light headed and just all around blech! I forgot to take my "happy pill" yesterday. Doh! So I just ate a banana and took my pill. Hopefully it'll kick in soon!
Well, I didn't get as much done as I hoped, but I did have fun. :)
As I was picking up Oldest Princess from her sleepover, my check engine light came on. I stopped at a Walgreens, turned it off, restarted, and hoped it would clear itself. It didn't. I proceeded to go get gas. Started it back up and it ran like crap, barely moving and sounding like it was going to die. I edged over to the side, shut it off and restarted. It started and ran fine. ARGH! Craig was out of town, my parents are on their vacation, so I took it to a friend of my dad's who scanned it. It seems to be a cam sensor. Brian said we should at least start with replacing it, but he doesn't exactly know where it is, so he'll have to research it. Ay yi yi. All I'm seeing is dollar signs in front of my eyes.
Yay! Tomorrow, Youngest Princess and I are going to Craig's aunt & uncle's house for a scrapping crop. (Ha! I first typed crap LOL!) I'm part of a Scrapbooking Message Board and they're having an "Extreme Crop" this weekend. I looked over their challenges and I should be able to do most of them. Normally, the challenges are hard for me as I really don't get too involved on my pages and I normally don't have the "latest and greatest" supplies, so I'm stoked about this crop. I hope to get a lot done!
Yay! It's Friday! We don't have much on the schedule for this weekend. I wonder if I can squeeze some scrapbooking in. ;) Princesses have swimming lessons today and Craig took the day off. It's shaping up to be a good day!!
Hope your day/weekend is great too!!
Happy Father's Day to all the daddys in bloggerland! Today will be a busy one. First we have church, then I work 1-4, we're going to Craig's aunt & uncle's house for a BBQ and I work 5-8. I'm not sure exactly when I'll be seeing my dad today. LOL
You know what sounds REALLY good right about now? Chocolate Dumplings. Now, before you go all "EWWWWW" on me, let me explain. I got this recipe from my grandma. She'd gotten it out of the newspaper years ago. I've been making them since I was about 16 or so. It's basically a chocolate cake (dumpling) in chocolate sauce. Mmmmmmmm
When my dad was working graveyard shift, I used to make them and he'd take them to work for the guys. Because of that, I even got a marriage proposal. LOL My dad is still good friends with that guy and we still joke that he's my "other" husband. LOL
So I'm sitting here at work (sssssshhhhhh!) and these people come in. They end up knocking over the vase of silk flowers that have the little round glass pebbles in it. Of course it makes a ton of noise. I'm sitting here trying not to laugh. Yes, I'm snickering.
Bahahahaha! Youngest Princess just said to Craig....you're 37, right? How old is Mommy? 20? or 30? Bahahahahahaha He robbed the cradle, but not quite that bad. :wink:
I must be the most craptastic mother on the planet!
I noticed this morning that the little marigold plant that Youngest Princess planted in Sunday School and gave me last week for Mother's Day was all dry and the flowers were hanging over. I quickly watered it, but it's too far gone I'm afraid. :( I couldn't even keep it alive for a week!
Oh my goodness. This last week has been so hectic! I worked over 40 hours at my one job this past week. We were getting ready to have an auction to benefit Royal Family Kids Camps for foster kids. One night I worked until 9:00. Friday night, the night of the auction, I didn't get home until almost 11:30. But, we made $33K for the camp!! WOOHOO!!
Yesterday, Youngest Princess and I were in a parade. It wasn't really sunny, but I managed to get sunburned. Luckily Youngest Princess didn't. From there, I went to help with the school's garage sale. Today I was in the nursery during church. Tomorrow night is the Princesses' dance recital. Come Tuesday, I'm free!!!!!!!!
