Tuesday's Ten Things

[bluedaisyus]

Wanna carry this over here? Let's have 'em, ladies!

[bluedaisyus]

1. I had to check and make sure it was actually Tuesday before I posted this. Sheesh.

2. Our new countertops are being installed on Thursday. We are thisclose to being done with our kitchen remodel! I am making a big ass yummy meal this weekend!

3. I'm so stressed. Work has been overwhelming, TTTC is overwhelming, the kitchen remodel is overwhelming. Everything is overwhelming. But two of those three things are nearing the end no matter what happens.

4. I've lost focus on my weight loss/getting in shape goals. The remodel and lack of fully functioning kitchen is not helping.

5. I'm working on a spreadsheet of snack, lunch, and dinner ideas. I'm refocusing my efforts. I'm determined to maintain the weight I've lost and get to my goal weight, and to get back into shape.

6. Unless I actually get pregnant this cycle. And it sticks. In which case I will be focusing on maintaining healthy eating and getting in shape rather than actual weight loss.

7. Last night after we read our bedtime stories my baby did not want me to leave his room, he wanted me to stay and cuddle with him. Um...yes please!

8. I feel guilty, my wife took today off and is home trying to finish the grouting in the kitchen. She hates grouting, but I couldn't take today off and I pulled a muscle in my shoulder last week so I'm no help at all at the moment anyway.

9. While I'm really frustrated by my shoulder and wishing I hadn't hurt it...I'm secretly a little bit glad that it means I can't help with the grouting because I hate it too. But it also means that I can't pick up my boy without pain, and it breaks my heart to tell him I can't so half the time I do it anyway even though I know I shouldn't.

10. I'm hungry. I think it's time for lunch.

1. I remembered to take my "crazy pill" today (a supplement for premenopause) and I feel so much better! Why do I forget this when it really helps?!?!?

2. We are having my son's girlfriend over on Saturday. They are only 15-16 years old and I made it clear NO hanky panky or she goes home. He's a respectful and good boy though and I think it will be fine. (YIKES!)

3. He has been with this girl for over a year and a half now. Oh dear god I hope this is not my future daughter in law. They have secretly discussed marriage...yes, I snooped a tiny bit on his text messages but they were on MY phone so....

4. I wish it was Thursday so my week would be ending and I was heading home. (I work out of town Mon-Thur)

5. I have GOT to stop eating so much at night. I am letting my anxiety get the best of me and I'm a munch-a-holic every night!

6. OOPS! Just remembered I need to fill out my timesheet/invoice for last week!

7. I have a weird spot on my inner elbow and I'm afraid it's a tiny ringworm...picked up from all the planting I've been doing lately! EEK!

8. I can't believe I just admitted I may have a ringworm! EEK again!

9. Sandy and I went to Hobby Lobby last night and got some glass to do some little mosaic projects. This is my first try at mosaics. I'm excited!

10. Did I mention I wish it was Thursday afternoon...?? haha!

1. We sent LMC to my mom this weekend. It was so much more peaceful. I feel hideous for feeling that way.

2. My wife needs to get a new job already. It's been forever.

3. I am terrified thst my health issue is returning. See number 2. I need insurance and a doctor. Now.

4. Our friend wants us to take her current placement. He is very sick and delayed. I am not worried about that too much. I think I am holding out for a newborn though. I suck.

5. I want to learn to sew.

6. A parenting book I just read says you shouldn't ever get involved in your kids squabbles. Just ride out the noise. I lasted 3 minutes. My ears were bleeding.

7. I wish I lived closer to most of you. I feel out of the loop lately.

8. There are so many things I want to do to this house. It's a rental though,probably not worth it. We'll see.

9. I know it's months away but I am already looking forward to hosting all of the holidays this year! No drama! No icky people!

10. I think I want to get a deep freezer and make a bunch of freezer meals /stock up. Anyone try this?.

1. Three is not fun. I think the birthdya part ate my sweet girl and left a demon in her place.

2. However out in public she is still charming and engaging so I guess I can be happy for that.

3. We went to a new playgroup today. The moms all knew each other and only one introduced herself to me. The others just stayed in a little group chatting.

4. My car has been in the shop since last wednesday. I want it back now. Although I am loving driving Scoops new car I still want mine back.

5. I get to see my niece and nephew from GA for three weeks in june and july. I am so excited. They are 12 now ( almost 13) and Annie adores them.

6. We also get to go to Great Adventure while they are here and my nephew is my roller coaster buddy. YAY!

7. The end of June we are going to watch his team play baseball in Cooperstown. As exciting as that is I am still sad I don't get to see my niece play softball this year.

8. Annie starts preschool next week. I am excited for her and a little nervous.

9. I need to mow my lawn so badly, but it just keeps raining. I am not looking forward to how many snakes will be out there.

10. I have missed this.

We do this. We have an upright deep freezer in the basement. We buy meat in larger quantities and freeze it because it's generally quite a bit cheaper to do that, and when we make chili or lasagna, things like that, we make extra and freeze it. We keep lots of extra frozen veggies in there since we go through them pretty quickly. It's also nice just for storing things like frozen pizzas since they're so big, so they're not taking up room in our main fridge. I'd like to do more actual cooking and freezing meals, it's mostly used to stock up and keep clutter out of our main fridge.

Yes, I want to participate...but I'm on my phone at our agency staff day. So that is my #1-#10....staff day.

I did my 10 over on the other board, but #11

11. This was one of the weirdest workdays I have had in a long time. And it takes a LOT for me to say that.
