therapy.

Revisiting some old posts I have in drafts:
In late July I had scratched this out but never found the time to finish it.

I have a lot on my mind these days..

• school getting ready to start
• how many trolley/preschool/little schedules we will be tackling in a month
• trying to keep my nose out of someone else's personal business when it really shouldn't effect me but makes my heart hurt- I know it will get easier but the first born in me tends to feel her opinion should matter more than it does ;)
• planning to run a 5k on Saturday. w/o training
• thinking about getting a tattoo- I have been in the thinking stage off & on for 20 years..
• de-cluttering the childcare
• back to scrapping for some hands on therapy
• still reading Stephanie Plum series for some brain candy
• can't stop thinking about what I might do when I am no longer in childcare. I guess its good that I am not procrastinating it. Keeping my options open-oh you should see my list of options :)
• for a procrastinator, I sure am look ahead the future a lot lately... which is confusing to me.

 
What are you thinking about lately?
 

RANDOM

Just a fun shot thru the grass of the kids playing in the sandbox...

the snake the guys ended up killing on the boat ramp at the lake Memorial Weekend, but not before it struck one of them in the foot in self defense.  Then they found out it was just a bull snake.. oops.

ahhhhhh my view from my lawn chair on May 24th.  Tent set up, & supper cookin' ... officially on vacay!!

us.. same Thursday night, same campground...aweeeeeeeee













So much to share, sadly too busy-both, mentally & physically -to formulate a real post...

Monday Mantra: Keep it going.

Monday Randomness first:

• I am in BOTH tennis shoes today. first work day in 2 weeks! we'll see how the PF fairs! Maybe I'll be on the treadmill by the weekend :) I know I am going after some Sketchers this weekend for new work shoes. Never had problems w/them. going back. no longer invincible & admitting it. LOL
• Woke to 3" of snow on the ground this morning.. whaaaaaat?! was expecting flurries-skiff-no collection. *sigh* more snow. atleast its not ice! :)
• Laundry is going
• I am almost thru my first 32oz of water today!
• Need to bake bread! Honey wheat sounds yummy.
• tore a pancake in 1/2, fried an egg & made a sandwich for breakfast YUMMMM
• Keep it going: I drank 96oz/day every day since my dr appt 2 weeks ago-until Saturday- & lost 8lbs b/c of it! Friday I fought a headache so miserable I wanted to rip the right eyeball from my head & throw it across the room. Saturday woke the same. so spent the day in turmoil. only did 32oz in before we went out w/the gang. then split 2 pitchers of beer w/Tim b4 I switched back to water. amazingly woke yesterday in considerably less pain. should have been more but who am I to complain!? I got the 96 in yesterday & am wall on my way today. as a reward I getting myself a 'spread love' bottle when the food check comes this week. SO I need to Keep it Going on the water :)

Some frosty fog pics of the drive to DM a week ago.

• I am refusing to let my packed weekend stress me out
• cheesy tots & grilled cheese sandwiches for breakfast yummmy
• I got 2 more days done in my December Daily book last night!

• I am only asking for enough to fund a mammogram. Click HERE to visit my pledge page and make a contribution to this deserving cause. (ONLY 2 more days to hit my goal + its a tax deduction for you!!)
• I need to fill out & return a training registration today!

Ok.. there ya have it :) complete & utter randomness on a Thursday! hope you have a GREAT ONE!!

its a good day

or so I am trying to convince myself. I feel the day stacked against me so moving very slowly as there are some bright spots...

*I am down 2 children
* that makes it easier to deal w/the headache that is trying to beat me down
*I am incredibly addicted to facebook! never thought I would be. not sure how I feel about that
*I am going to try to do some more tax prep when I get a spot cleared on my desk
*YOGA TONIGHT!! yehaw!!!
*so happy its Wednesday -I really hate wishing weeks over but this one is killing me

ok enough randomness!

accountability: 96 oz of water yesterday but no exercise

appreciate: I appreciate the parents that called in today -key word is CALLED in instead of figuring I'll 'figure it out when they don't show up' THANK YOU! I appreciate the days w/o headaches now that I have one again. I appreciate the warm temp this morning knowing its going to dip back into the FRIGID IOWA WINTER temps tonight YUCK!!
