a week in the life- Wednesday

• I was not motivated to do anything at all this morning! I hung out and watched 'Biggest Loser' from the night before and organized my knit patterns into binders.
• a little online time, worked on my blog post, uploaded pics for printing.
• vaccuumed the house, and straightened up. The floor still looked terrible so I decided it was time to haul out the steam cleaner and wash the floor.
• 3 more loads of laundry. Where does it all come from?
• Drove out to Barson's once again for pump parts. They didn't have any fish for sale yet because it's too cold still. I did buy some really cool plants that I hadn't seen or heard of before.
• White Castle for lunch. I haven't had WC in forever, and I was starving so I broke down and pulled in. They were soooooo good!
• Filled the tank at Costco. $2.73 per gallon.
• Spent an hour weeding the garden. Unfortunately, the weeds keep coming back!
• I fixed the pump!
• Evan went to Joey's after school, Emma to soccer practice.
• Print out more patterns and journaling cards for this scrapbook. Brought the printer up to the kitchen so I can do other things while I print. I'm so smart.
• I am totally dragging by 5:00. I made an iced skinny vanilla latte for a late afternoon boost. It helps some.
• cheese pizza and antipasta salad for dinner. We were hungry!
• watched 'CSI Miami' and Modern Family with the kids. Cougar Town and Deadliest Catch afetr they went to their rooms.
• It was a gorgeous day...mid 50's and sunny for most of the day. A beautiful full moon, a light breeze, and the gurgling of the pond make it perfection.

a week in the life- Tuesday

• good morning sunshine! 41 degrees and brisk...a jacket day for sure!
• Just as I was ready to pour the milk on my cereal, I get a call from Evan asking me to deliver his notebook and homework to school. He's lucky I have a soft spot for him!
• breakfast and morning blogs surfing. We don't get the paper on weekdays.
• going to get some things crossed off that to-do list today!
• errand time. CVS, Target, Starbux, car wash, Archivers. I was very bummed to find that Oberweis is permanently closed. They had the best chocolate milk & cinnamon ice cream.
• lunch: homemeade italian sub & cheetos, lemonade. Catch 'Days'.
• finished the Jasper hoodie for Baby J.
• work downstairs in the closet for an hour. Barely make a dent. It's going to take a lot longer to clean out than I thought.
• Filled & organized my new yarn bins, but I bought the wrong lids! Grrrrr!
• 6:00 game. Evan's team tied 2-2. Ev played goalie first half, and didn't let any shots in. It was very chilly but at least the sun was shining!
• homemade italian wedding soup and chicken salad pita wraps for dinner. Yum.
• GLEE!
• an hour of reading before bed.

a week in the life, a week late

I am always a day late and a dollar short, so naturally I chose to do the 'A week in the life' project after everyone else has done it. I took this class with Ali in Nashville. (I still have to go back and finish that one). I am hoping that this will jump start my urge to scrap, since I resolved to either use it or get rid of it at the beginning of the year. I want to use it!

Monday:

• it was cloudy and damp, 54 degrees, but with potential. I can feel a nicer day on the horizon. Turned into a gorgeous spring day.
• had my favorite breakfast of multi-grain cheerios w/ low fat granola; went through the weekend paper. A new ritual.
• took Ev to school, and then went back to sleep for awhile. The long weekend of little sleeping is taking it's toll, as is last night's non-sleep fest. I am tired.
• shower, straighten up the house. How can it be such a mess when we weren't home all weekend? Every room is trashed. Start the laundry.
• drive to Dearborn to get Buddy from the Treibers'. We missed him! I didn't like not having anyone to share my milk with this morning :)
• make lists. I usually do this on Sunday, but not this week. To do list, grocery list, Target list, week ahead list, dinner planning list. Cut coupons while eating lunch.
• little bit of online time, but not much.
• Monday is my favorite day of the week. No soccer, kids are in school, usually can do whatever I want to do. No so lucky this week- Evan has DOC training and I have catch-up to do from the weekend.
• downloaded the tournament pix and deleted the obviously bad ones.
• sneak in a few minutes of tv & knitting time.
• Kids home from school. Emma has no homework (a rarity) and Evan is crabby to the hilt. Awesome.
• grocery store. Breezed through pretty fast.
• dinner is BBQ chicken and corn on the cob. I am so happy. I wanted corn but wasn't sure that there would be any, and they had a big display of it at the store. You never know if it'll be any good...this stuff was sweet and juicy. Score!
• Wanted to go for our walk, but tiredness has gotten the best of everyone.
• Watched DWTS and caught up with some of our DVR'd shows from last week.
• By bedtime I had a massive sinus headache that wasn't going anywhere. Took a second med to relieve the pressure (some days I have to) and read a bit. I'm reading "The Girl Who Played With Fire"...it's getting good and I want to read longer but succumb to sleepiness.
