Ramblings and Such...

Whew, what a day! I spent, yet again, another day in my life cleaning the house and doing laundry. Almost all of the laundry is done and it's all nicely folded on the couch, I am just wayyyyyyy to d*mn tired to put it away. I will tomorrow night.

This week is kind of like a vacation week for me. I still have to go to my full time job but my daughter doesn't have dance lessons, so I will be home every evening!!!! YIPEE!!!!! Plus there is no Nutcracker practice either. :)

I guess for Thanksgiving we are going over to my SIL (husband's sister) house. I should not be surprised, that is where we have went every year since we have been together, my family is very small and we don't usually do Thanksgiving, only Christmas. I don't know why I am not excited this year, I would rather just SLEEP all day that day. Is that bad of me? Because I am really not kidding.

In other news, I hope you are all sitting down for this one - as I have been writing about it off and one for several weeks now, my daughter FINALLY got her room ALL CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!! Praise God and Hallelujah. Seriously... it is a miracle. It is all picked up, put away, and even vacuumed. She did 98% of it herself. On the last leg of it, I went in and did some directing for her, she was having problems focusing at that point. It took her the entire day to accomplish this. I am very proud of her.

The Husband on the other hand is still on my sh*t list. Really, it's not even worth writing about, let's just say if I could beat him over the head with a frying pan, I so would right now. EVERYTHING he does right now drives me nuts and at this point I am seriously unsure if it's me or him.... and I don't really care. Bad of me, I know.

Oh and I finally took down my Halloween decorations, with Christmas right around the corner and the decorations going up next weekend for that, I thought it was about time. Procrastination is my middle name!

The things you teach your kids.

Is it bad that just yesterday I realized that Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK?!?!? NEXT WEEK!!!! How did that happen. It was just Halloween. I will not tell you that my Halloween decorations are still up. (I was sick, okay. That's my story and I am sticking to it) I said to my 17 year old son last night, "so you think I should just leave the Halloween decorations up straight through Thanksgiving and then take them down and go straight to Christmas ones?" He says, (straight faced), "Yes and then when you take the Christmas ones down you can put those back up." Nice. This is what I have taught my kids. Sarcasm and quick wit (HA HA).

I have to go on a diet when the holidays are over (hey , one is next week, ya know). I have my 20 year class reunion this next summer. I need to lose about 100 lbs in about 5 or 6 months. Do you think that is possible? Try to let me down easy, okay.

One big problem with losing weight is I LURRRRVE food. I love all types, styles, whatever, I pretty much love it all. Oh and also, my best friend from high school is the EXACT SAME SIZE that she was in high school (skinny, very skinny). Yes, I still love hate her and yes since she is my best friend I have to sit next to her skinny a**. Seriously, I am the fat friend now (I'm Monica and she's Rachel). You think that would be incentive enough to prevent me from shoving a cookie in my mouth. Not so far.

Well, I am off to bed to dream about pecan dessert bars that we had at work today (think pecan pie but to GO...genius) and ways I can continue training my kids.
