things are crazy....but good!

ok so here's my week this week, what's been, what's coming.  and things i need to figure out how to get done.

Monday - work, organize office and tax paperwork, recup from weekend away

Tuesday - meetings

Wed - Derek had pool, I took a lot of naps in the evening, totally missing church, then I worked on delicates, cleaned up the coffee table and kitchen (except dishes!), and played a game with the kids.  This game is so bizarre.  You have this little dude and he has to go around the board, he's carrying a gold coin. after every turn you gotta push on the treasure chest, the whole board shakes, then this skeleton comes out and grabs (or tries to grab) someone's gold. then you gotta start over. it's like mr. bones or something. fun!  well after the kids went to bed i planned a spa afe party and watched this past sunday's sermon online that we missed from being in DC.  

Thur (today) - kids have football and cheerleading orientation.  should be very entertaining.  that's 6-8 (say goodbye to the evening) 

Friday we're having family movie night.  time for relax.  Shayne also has psych dr.'s appts in the morning.  one at 830 and the other at 9.  after kids in bed we pay the bills.

Saturday - swim lessons 9:45-10:30. Summer audition at 10:45 (she might miss swim this week!), kids have a bday party at 2pm. Derek and I will probably hit the gym after that then stay home and get some crap done!

Sunday - sunday school 9:15, church 10:30, picnic 1pm.  oh i think i'm also supposed to bring a dessert to said picnic.

so but now what i've realized is that i never plan our meals out anymore and i really need to.  so i want to try and start posting that up.

it's Friday!

so it's been awhile since i've made entry. oh well. been busy!

so i just completed 4 weeks of physical therapy on my good ankle, things are going better with my son, and the summer is treating us good.  we just finished installing our carpet tiles in our bedroom closet, which rock, and we want to get the kitchen tiles done next.  don't know yet if we might remove the paint or paint over the paint that's already on them. ugh! we also need to clean out our gutters...yuck!

we took the kids to our city's music fest last weekend. tomorrow my daughter is going with my mom to the American Girl Place in NYC.  She's so excited! Tomorrow we're going to take my son on a boat ride since he loves them so much.  Then go swimming. Hooray for the weekend!

woo hoo!

I have to say I'm completely shocked to step on the scale this morning and weigh THAT!  That's like 2 lbs. in a day. But I bet it's water consumption. I drank more yesterday than I have in weeks.  Either way I LOVE IT!  Now if it stays, I'll be splendidly happy!

it's been awhile

so yeah it's been a good while since i posted here.  since my last post, my son has been in the mental hospital and diagnosed with ADHD and put on meds, his behavior during the day is VASTLY improved.  We went to Disneyworld shortly after that.  Now we're trying to put things back together to start our summer.  This is the kids' last week of school and next week they will be w/my mom and then the week after they start "Summer Camp".  I hope they both do well there. They won't be together.  This is their first summer apart during the day.

As for me, I have been diagnosed with "Posterior Tibialis Insertional Tendonitis"...here's a good site for info on it: http://www.myfootshop.com/detail.asp?Condition=Posterior%20Tibial%20Tendon%20Dysfunction

Anyway, I have to wear a large uncomfortable ankle brace when I will be on my feet (like going to the store) and go to Physical Therapy 2-3x/week for 2 months.  Oh....goodie.  My first appt. is next Wednesday.

So, with regard to exercise, we wish to do much more, but life has been SO busy it's impossible. However, we are going to be swimming more so we can get max calorie burn!  Who knew!?

it's a new week in the fight!

ok so Monday i walked 30 minutes on lunch, and did the same today.  And I ate well today...for the most part.  

4 oz. cottage cheese, 1 cup applesauce, 1 small bag of chips
big chicken caesar salad for lunch

aaaaaand we're going to the gym tonight

a visit to the Y

so we went to the gym tonight, and since childcare was full, took both children walking on the track. we went for 45 minutes tonight, jogging one lap for every 5 walked. i think we did great!

another glorious day walking!

on my lunch. went for 20 minutes though, even though I did run for about 45 seconds, which is about all i could take after last night!

last night at the gym i did:
15 minutes elliptical
10 minutes walking
3 minutes running at 4.0
30 minutes of weight lifting
