A girl's weekend & my mouth

sorta. :)  Friday night was a group of us going to see Eclipse @ our local lil theater. SO FUN!!! Great Movie! cannot wait for Nov' 11 for Breaking Dawn to start!! :)  I haven't done a girls' movie night. EVER. definately something we agreed, we want to do more often!! After the movie we hit 2 bars.. coulda done w/o that part but it was still time w/the girls.

Saturday was an all day crop! I was afraid I'd not get my groove back after a 3 month hiatus but OH MAMA!! I pumped out all 11 pages of our 2004 4th of July!!! All between 10 & 5! GET OUT! I had to leave an hour early b/c I was out of pictures. That NEVER happens to me! lol  I had a great time catching up w/Steph, we haven't hungout since the PTCO crop in March & visiting w/some other girls I've not had the chance to get to know. we got a terrific binder & I won 3 door prizes!!! Over all, it was a GREAT TIME!!!

Sunday I was lazy! L.A.Z.Y. I hadn't eaten anything worthy in a couple of days & my energy level was an all time low. I didn't even care!!! I watched Burn Notice on the dvr :) then napped, then we watched The Bounty Hunter after Tim mowed the Ayers Property. GREAT MOVIE! I laughed so hard!!  OH & we watched the Christopher Titus stand up routine 'love is evol' Saturday night LOOOOVED IT!! but I loved his sitcom shows too.

on a good note- I did make myself get on the treadmill last night to get c25k w5d2 done! I was so close to blowing it off, putting it off until tonight, then doing day 3 on Wed, but that would put my 'training' off of my original schedule & I just hated that thought.  I am already fearful of not making the whole 5k in running/jogging mode, and having to walk the majority is so not in my 'plan'.  I have gotten so many others talked into joining me, that now I feel I have to be at my best (for the time) since they will be there. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut & done the first one alone. hmmm a lil late now.  Tho I am pretty sure I know how.  The Keeping my mouth shut part.  When I get excited about something -scrapping, running, c25k, sisterhood, drinking water, child development studies, camping, boating, canning, eating whole foods, bulk shopping, etsy, farmer's markets, etc- I share all that I know to anyone who will listen. :)

OH, speaking of the sisterhood, there is a new challenge going on!!  Down & Dirty in 30!!  This is my first team challenge @ the 'hood & I have to admit I am more than a bit intimidated! Plus, I heard the word SHRED *gulp* I am not sure I am ready to shred while doing the c25k program. I might have to bow out of the shred & do my 10 minute target sessions from  netflix to keep from killing myself in the next 30 days, yet not let my team down.

so there you have my past weekend & plans for the week.. its now taken me 3 times of sitting to get it all typed up .. ah Monday!  some are cranky, some are tired & some are just unhappy about the rain that's coming down out side preventing us from BEING out there. time to get the play dough out!! :)   I think I'll bake some banana muffins too.  Hope you have a GREAT week!!!

Happy Hump Day!!

True COnfessions Tuesday

shamelessly copied from THE SISTERHOOD WHICH I haven't visited or linked near as often as I was simply b/c I was not participating in the latest contest. but I plan to reactivate myself over there!! :)

on to my list!

1. I tend to neglect everything else around me when i am into a good book & a good series is even worse! right now I am shamelessly (evidently word of the day) deeply engrossed by Nora Roberts' KEY trilogy.. luckily for everything around me, I am on #3 right now :)
2. I haven't stepped a foot in my scrap room since mid June! I miss it!
3. I tried to start shredding again-2 weeks ago I shredded a couple days buy then hurt a toe & haven't gotten back @ it.
4. I justified some 'liquid cocaine' cocktails by Danny Saturday night by the amt of pineapple juice they contained & the 3 glasses of ice water I had between each cocktail
5. I am terrified of having 2 nurses in my home for 4 hours tomorrow! YIKES!!!
6. I have a list of things to complete/move/remove/clean today/tonight for that visit tomorrow.
7. I have worked on the same list since Friday & keep moving things from one day to the next...working on each a little @ a time. only completing two of eight so far.
8. I want to rescue the front flower bed from the weed infestation!
9. I have a small pile of papers next to my computer that need sorted, hung or filed.
10. I am keeping my Creative Memories party order open until tomorrow evening b/c I couldn't stand the thought of closing it & missing someone's order-its a sickness. haha
11. I love making lists so this could go on forever :)

happy hump day!

I am so tired!! I had to take too much medicine last night to sleep thru my coughing that I am struggling to wake up today.YUCK!!! I think Tim should have taken something to sleep thru it too. lol atleast he is blessed w/over an hour in bed after I get up.

ACCOUNTABILITY: I shredded, got in 64 oz., 2 dairy & 4 f/v!!! its coming back alot easier than I thought it might. the body is SORE but its that 'hey, you are working me crazy hard' sore :)

APPRECIATE: I appreciate having a house fit for company. I appreciate having my house back after company. I appreciate the cool mornings we are having.

Last night, we loaded the truck w/firewood for the weekend. moving down the list :) we will be ready to pull out Friday @5!

Short post today. hoping the caffiene from the iced tea I am already drinking will kick in soon.

Tuesday True Confessions

• yes that's right.. I started working out again! *whew* I didn't realize how tense I was thru the shoulders & neck until I was almost done & already sore but that is the only thing that hurts today YAY!!!!!!! I was a lump of jello last night so I was afraid my arms & legs would scream today but nadda YAY!!!! I DID ALL THE PUSHUPS (girlie style) but still, I did all of them! that's a first for me :) quite proud! Day 1-level 1-30day shred CHECK!!
• now to get back on the f/v, water & dairy!!
• we are supposed to have a field trip today but its looking pretty gloomy out. not sure we will try it.
• maybe we'll just hang @ home & paint! we haven't gotten the paints out all summer. its time!
• all of the laundry is clean, the clothes are put away just have to put the extra blankets & pillows back under the stairs from having company, the d/w is clean, & the trash it out. the upstairs is back to normal! :)
• I picked a tomato from the garden yday!! :) it was a small roma but it was my first in several years! :) so now we've had 4 cheyenne peppers, a cuke & a tomato.
• can't wait for the green beans to get goin'. I love fresh green beans!
• Today is farmer's market! yay!! since we will be @ the lake this Saturday I must go today & stock up.
• going to start the camping prep tonight :)

True Confessions Tuesday

1. I had a rough go of it this morning..
2. I took a lil too much cold medicine @ bedtime last night & I think it lingered into the morning...
3. so I didn't have the energy to type a post...
4. here it is Nap time & I am finally typing.
5. Tuesday here = field trip day we went to the same park as last week
6. they loved it
7. I am doing horribly on my eating & water & the exercise is nonexistant :(
8. no wonder my jeans are back to T.I.G.H.T.
9. I sware to start shredding again when the company leaves next week
10. Summer time colds are killer
11. I was happier to be back on routine yesterday than I expected!
12. the kids took some breaking back in after a 3 day weekend but that's normal-miserable @ times but normal.
13. only one more to fall asleep then I'll be the only one awake for a full 30 minutes until its time to wake them up for snack time LOL
14. I discovered I keep a cleaner house w/company than w/o. is that ODD??
15. DO YOU?
16. I will post some photos tomorrow from today's trip

to trip or not to trip

THAT is the question! I have no helper today-Suzanna is having a spot on her foot looked @-I will have 8 @ max, its all planned, only one infant, no school kids, maybe we'll cancel the park/trolley trip & just walk a picnic to the elementary school instead.

• I checked a couple of htings off my 'do b4 company comes' list last night while Tim was mowing :) also did a couple of weekly jobs too.... I am of the mindset most of the time that if he's moving & working around the house I should be too. so until he's done mowing/cleaning the boat out/working on the bathroom I am doing SOMETHING productive that helps the house. Even if they are just little jobs like last night-water all in & outside plants, put away 3 baskets of laundry, top off the upstairs fish tank, pick up my scrap mess in living room from working on Stacia's book a month ago, & start cleaning off dining table that has become a hotspot. he may not have noticed or appreciated but it was done & *I* feel better.


• Kicking the perfectionist to the curb for a bit! I am done waiting on the tiller for the flower beds! I am going to put down the seed blankets while the flower beds are wet from last night's rain & cover them w/potting soil & BE DONE. check it off the 'do b4 company comes' list!


• I had high hopes of shredding last night but ended up enjoying a twisted tea while I was working around the house instead then there was no way I was working out. LOL


• I have a legal pad sheet w/my 'do b4 company comes' list on it. I love to do lists! keeps me on track! so I also have a smaller pad w/my weekly list on it. I just won't break it down to daily lists b/c that's way too overwhelming for me! plus I like an option of what & when...


• Bathroom update: the light fixture is hung, the switch plate is on, the walls are painted.. just waiting on shower valve to be mounted then I think we start tiling! EEK. another new frontier for us.

Ok .. on w/the day!!!

HERE WE GO..........

back in the swing!

I love Memorial weekend! its like a refresher to get me all ready for summer vacation w/the kids. school is usually out the week right after & then the FUN BEGINS! :) this summer looks like our numbers will max out @ 13. that's a good group! I am so excited!! I have already had one helper contact me to set up a schedule YEHAW!! the preschools were done last week & today is the last day of school! Ilove a change in routine sometimes. this is one of those times! by August I will be ready for the change again & send them all back to school :)

some good things about summer vacation are:

• more kids to play with
• the bigs -no matter their age-get to be the BIGs & help when they want
• the littles idolize the bigs & this gives them a chance to play together
• we get out of here: we walk in the water on the side of the street, go to the parks & play, go to the library, have a zillion picnics both in the backyard & @ parks, MAYBE the bigs will get to go to the pool w/a helper, oh the possibilities!!!
• tons of outside time!!! usually 4 hrs in the morning & 2 in the afternoon!
• the helper gets a chance to be in charge, cook, explore herself in an incharge situation, nurish her patience level, learn so much about herself & kids @ the same time, earn some money
• I get time to clean up, plan for/focus on a project/age group, think, breathe & observe

I do love me some sunshine! :) today is not so conducive to the sunshine soaking ... dreary & grey again *sigh* so far they are entertaining each other & still recovering from the long weekend.

I am soooo excited for this Saturday's opening day of the Osceola Farmer's Market!!! YAY!!!!!! I have plans @9, but you can BET I am hitting the farmer's market b4 I go!! then I am going to a crop ALL DAY LONG!!! 9AM-midnight!! WOW wonder how long I'll last :) I am planning to finish working on Stacia's photos & finishing the summer 08 photos I have -shoot I just realized I should have been a bit more organized & ordered some more photos!! dangit. ah well. I have a super sorter box full of photos!!

Yesterday was a lovely day. well, gloomy but slow & easy w/only 6 kids :) I was able to complete our laundry from the weekend as well as keep up on the cooking/cleaning up of meals! then Tim had to work late so I made some killer homemade sloppy joes & potato wedges then went to the store & stocked up on produce! cantalope, grapes, pears, peaches, strawberries, peppers, carrots, onions, brocoli, oh my! I even shredded! I got 96oz, 5f/v, & 4 dairy.

caffeine free & kickin' it :)

just the facts

• I didn't shred last night
• walked w/Tim around our county park lake 2x instead
• woke w/headache this morning
• hoping to get in to chiro Friday AM b4 we hit the road
• swore this long weekend will be drama free :)
• not going to let anyone suck me in to their drama
• fussy teething baby I think could be better medicated but I am not the parent
• breakfast is served & cleaned up
• continuing laundry from yday
• going outside soon
• wish I could go back to bed
• drank 80oz, ate 3f/v, 3 dairy yday
• thinking about what I want added to our living space b4 our first visitors come in July
• we will be back to working on the bathroom next week
• living the 'what will be will be' motto ROCKS-trying to spread it around is not so easy
• 2 more days of preschool=2 more days of rigid daily schedules
• 5 more days of school=5 more school days till A NEW SCHEDULE
• I am ready for summer vacation
• I am ready for more outside time
• I am ready for more daily walks
• we are stocked up on rubber kick balls & chalk
• we just need child size lawn chairs, sand & hula hoops now
• oh & a picnic table or 3 in child size & one in adult-Tim hates the idea b/c that would be more to mow around

2nd setting on this post.
off we go.......

how quickly we forget

yesterday was gorgeous!! the sun was warm, there was almost no wind or breeze, the shade was cool enough if you wanted that-not me I am sunshine girl this time of year. we were out for a while in the morning & again in teh afternoon! love taking the kids out!! love this new house & being able to let them go out when they want instead of having to wait for the babies to be ready. I even took the fussy baby out while the others slept for about 15 minutes until he decided he was HUNGRY. :))

last night we had leftover roast made into homemade philly cheesesteak sandwiches YUMMMMY & the rest of the morels from the Farmer's Market (I am not sure what I will do w/o my weekly visit this week *sniff*) then he went right out to mow! that workaholic!! I cleaned up from supper, un/reloading the d/w, thought about going to work out but sat down for some quiet time..ummm yea. I slept for an hour DAMN! he cut the rest of the subfloor up from the bathroom & I slept thru it. niiiiiice. when I did finally get up it was 20 till 8 & I had a show on @8 so I changed & came down to hit the shred. again. day 1. wow I was way too cocky! I was thinking since I'd done it b4 & not so long ago that it wasn't going to be hard.. UMMM HELLO?? YOU ARE STILL OUT OF SHAPE GIRL!! DAMN. THAT'S how quickly we forget. today i am sore thru the neck & shoulders-a bit in my middle back but its going away the more I move around. I woke w/a bit of a headache but since I've been up & moving its dissipated YAY!! but I know I will be drinking all of my water today!!! I stunk on teh water but quit counting @8 f/v yday.

time for an official appreciate entry: I appreciate Tim's hard work on the bathroom (easier to appreciate when he's not so grouchy about the standstill). I appreciate the stand owners/operators @ the farmer's market that put pride in their work so we can have produce b4 ours is even in the ground :) I appreciate the SUNSHINE!!

I am so ready for my shows to come to a close so I can be working out side & not feel like I am missing something ... how sad is that?? lol or maybe I'll get to bed b4 10 HA. I have a mile long to do list today. I want to get alot of printing & filing done, new contracts printed & handed out for schedule changes, & daily paperwork caught up from Friday. I also want to form a semi-concrete list of field trips for this summer since we have access to free trolley transportation again.

Ok ... time to finish up breakfast.. hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!

True Confessions Tuesday

the girls @ the Sisterhood do theirs on Monday but I am not that organized so I tend to do it later in the week :)

anyway- here's mine:

• the sun is shining & I LOVE IT!!
• I shredded day 3 of 5 level 2 last night
• even tho I would have rather stayed wrapped in the blanket napping in Tim's recliner
• I had 6 fv in by lunchtime!
• I drank 80oz yesterday
• my earliest child this morning was to be an hour later than normal.
• did I get up @ normal time & have some me time??
• NOPE! I slept in :) & loved it
• Tim removed all the popcorn ceiling in the bathroom last night in 2 sessions. he rocks!
• I don't think it was the real popcorn ceiling -probably a cheap immitation :)
• I need to take photos of our gutted bathroom
• I want to be below my yoyo low tomorrow
• my yoga pants are getting baggier
• this week, 12 yrs ago I was a NIGHTMARE to deal w/!
• our anniversary is this weekend.
• I need to get more use out of the treadmill
• but atleast Tim uses it when I don't
• I think I will use it more after the shred challenge @ the sisterhood
• had to turn the furnace back on this morning.. 61 was a bit chilly for April in Iowa
• my home made, wheat, potatoe bread from yesterday is SO GOOD!!! :)

ok I think that's good for now :)

on a drizzly morning

I'd much rather be sleeping!! but I am up & running ... I didn't get to log in first thing today as I had to clean out & run the d/w Since Tim worked on it yesterday, then I had to clean up the pieces of the cast iron tub that fell thru the hole (the pieces fell thru not the whole tub LOL) in the floor when he was breaking it up to remove it. by that time it was breakfast time & then clean up, then I may as well start laundry & get the kids off to school. then 3 diapers to change, laundry ready to flip & the d/w done & ready to be reloaded. nice busy morning so far.

so right now I have an itty bitty napping, 4 of various ages, playing around the room, washer, dryer & dishwasher running. timing the sump pump to see how often its running & thinking about how lovely it would be to wrap up in a blanket & read for an hour or 2 :)

ACCOUNTABILITY: yesterday I only drank 32oz of water!! but I got 8 fv servings :) AND I shredded day 2 of 4 of level 2.

APPRECIATE: I appreciate that Tim did some demo work on Friday since his sister was in the hospital & he ws off incase his mom needed a ride up. he got alot done! the tub into pieces, & out, the sheetrock off the walls around the tub & out, flooring loosened, arrangements made to get new tub, etc. I appreciate that my finger doesn't look anyworse than it does for having a power drill jammed into it yesterday (I did it but omg did it hurt!! luckily I had gloves on). I appreciate the lighter load of kids today since its so gloomy out so far.

we drove around the lake Saturday :) so excited now for Memorial weekend!! the cabins are a ways from the lake & our favorite ramp but I am told I'll do fine where ever we launch/load so I guess I am along for the ride. I am ready for a weekend away. as evenings & weekends until then will be bathroom remodel heavy! thankful for my weekly Yoga class to escape.. even for an hour :)

there's the laundry.. off & running :)

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!

I THINK we'll plant some seeds inside today for Earth Day. we had a visitor planned to bring babychicks but due to circumstances beyond her control (LOL that's so important sounding isn't it??) she is needing to reschedule until next week. NO PROBLEM!! :) LOVE being so flexible!!

ACCOUNTABILITY: yesterday I got my 96oz in but only 4 fv (I just wasn't really hungry at all). then I shredded day 10 level 1! & previewed level 2. it just might kill me LOL I am torn between excited to try it & scared to hurt after.

APPRECIATE: I appreciate Tim for taking initiative & learning how to cook :) I appreciate the girls @ the Sisterhood for being so stinking supportive & running a great site!! I appreciate the honesty I have w/my child care families.

yesterday was way more productive than I had anticipated w/my tired level. I baked 100% whole wheat in the breadmachine, put together an over night breakfast bar (baking it now) & put it in the fridge to set, & caught up some paperwork and filing :) along w/the daily diapers, laundry & meal fixing/serving/cleaning up after. Love the surprise productivity!!

Weigh in Wednesday.. I am up 2 from Saturday :( A bummer but not putting much stock in it .. will be weighed 2x on Friday @ the dr offices & then again on Saturday so getting plenty of scale time this week LOL I can handle this end of the yo-yo either way!! :)

sitting #3 to finally finish this post! Now breakfast is beeping :)
Have a great Earth Day!! what are you doing to celebrate?
