Wow. Has it really been a week since I last blogged?? How depressing. I have NO resolve...NO willpower!!
Anyhow, in my defense, it HAS been a busy week...We did Civil War Days Saturday and Sunday...Matt's 13th Birthday party Monday...Voted Tuesday and then celebrated Matt's actual birthday...SO no school Monday or Tuesday for us...Yippee! Nice break! Then I had to spend Tuesday getting ready for the rest of the week's lessons, of course. So Matt had school (did most of it on his own) Wed, Thurs, and Fri, but Elizabeth has had no 'school' all week.
We went to the park yesterday morning and walked a mile...visited with the squirrels, dogs, and ducks...and we made/ate dinner together last night (burgers and tots). Then we had to make 7 Christmas ornaments each because we're supposed to be doing one ornament each night and had been so busy that we haven't done one in a week or so! That was fun, but the entire mess is still on the kitchen table. I'll never get all that glitter cleaned up! I don't think Elizabeth made 7 ornaments, but she had a blast writing letters and 'messages' on aluminum foil with glitter glue and a paintbrush!! At any rate, we spent like 3 hours (amazingly!) together as a complete family and it was so much fun!
Matt is almost done with school today (he would be done if I'd get off the computer), and Elizabeth is lying on the couch behind me staring up at the window. She hasn't eaten anything today and she threw up in the van this morning. She says nothing hurts, so it may just be the 1/2 pkg of Colby cheese she ate last night for dinner!! :o( I don't know, but I'll be taking a trash can in the van when we go to pick Sissy up from school in a little while...that's for sure! Luckily it only got on her shirt and blankie, so both of those are in the washer (time for them to go into the dryer now, I'm sure)...Anyhow...no school for her today, either, unless she asks.
Next week will be week 11 for us...the following week we'll take off...then the last week of November will be week 12...just in time for a looooong Christmas break! I love it!!
I saw that my name is on the list of subs to be approved at the county board meeting this Tuesday night, so I should be teaching shortly after that! I'm SO excited. Teaching! Me! Woot woot! :o)
Tuesday is also the day Jessica has to register for classes next Spring and she's planning on taking mainly night classes so that her 'job' will be babysitting the kids. Works for both of us!! She'll get money she doesn't have, and I'll know everything that happened with my kids all day! :o)
Tuesday is ALSO the night we go to Marshall for an informative meeting about People to People...Matt received an invitation to go to Europe next summer. Don't know any details yet, so it's MUCH too early to speculate, but we'll find out more Tuesday...
We FINALLY drove by the Pumpkin House yesterday just before Jessica's hair appointment (her hair looks SO cute!). We were SO amazed by the Pumpkin House. I mean, you see pics of it in the paper and on tv, but it's just sooooooo much cooler in person!! I can't wait to see it lit up next year!!
Ok, so I'm trying to begin dieting, eating healthier, whatever you choose to call it, but it's not going so well. I just can't get busy doing it! I will do great for most of the day then I'll just give in and eat like 8 snack candy bars or something ridiculous. Last night I put so much food on my plate that there was NO WAY I would ever eat it all...What is WRONG with me??? I have a good 100 pounds to lose...I have been successful with weight loss to some degree in the past, but I just can't get the desire to do this!! I sure hope I get past this soon...I need to do this for my own health and for my family...not to mention for the 100 reasons my friend, Christina, came up with (she's not mean-- just working on weight loss herself) LOL
Maybe once I start teaching I won't have time to eat like this anymore...?? On that note, I'll end this blog in the same way I started it...I have no resolve! No will power!! Hope my next blog is more positive...
