Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

TGIF Wrap Up

March 11, 2011

All righty, I’ll tell ya now – I’m pooped!! It has been a busy week and, quite frankly, an exhausting 4 months. So, I’m taking a school break today to catch up on laundry, housework, and a little paperwork. In the meantime I’ll tell you what we’ve been up to. Oh, and last Friday I took a day off and caught up on loads of paperwork – that felt SO good!

1. Matt, my oldest, started working at a new place of employment on Monday. So far it seems to be going quite well. Also, he will be moving out on his own around May or June. Don’t ask me how I feel about that yet – it’s all jumbled.

2. Jeff and Chris will have their spring break next week from college. Chris is also taking vacation from his job so they’ll be chillin’ for about 10 days. I’m making a menu plan with that in mind – lots of their favorites.

3. I am in book buying mode since Maggie and Joe finish up Sonlight’s Core 1 this month and will be going into Core 3+4 (American History) in May. We haven’t been able to buy this many books in a LONG time and I’m having a blast!! Core 4 Science and a Flashmaster (for math fact practice) arrived yesterday – lots of great stuff!!

4. Katie and Becky are doing well in school and Becky is really starting to move with her reading. Each day is easier for her and brings more success. They were not happy about their new handwriting books however.

5. Some of us are still bowling on Friday nights, but the girls and I have been staying home of late to have a girlie night in. They get tired after one game so it’s less frustrating to just stay home. I like bowling, but I like having sanity more.

6. Lent started on Wednesday and I blew it right away. It was a long day and I was low on fuel and ate a piece of caramel chocolate while watching What Not to Wear. Oops. Oh well, I’m unperfect remember?

7. I’m starting to bring out my springtime music – namely REO Speedwagon – and it is SO good to hear it again. Yes, I am a seasonal music listener – it just suits my soul better this way. I also bought five new songs from Napster and will talk about all this Monday for Music Monday. Hopefully I’ll remember :-).

8. I realized while talking to my brother, Dan, that I have lost 15 pounds since last August!! Wow – how did that happen?? I was thinking maybe 5 to 8 lbs but I did the math (several times) and indeed I am 15 pounds lighter. Talk about motivation! My new goal is to lose 9lbs by Easter. Hopefully giving up coffee and chocolate will help.

Okay, I think that sums up my week and then some. See you back on Sunday for Weekend Gallery and to talk music on Monday. Happy Friday everyone!!

You think your emotions are mixed up about me moving :P
It's something that I've daydreamed about since as long as I can remember, but now that the time is actually approaching I'm getting mixed feelings. Even more so since, unlike when I went to college, there will be no grande and glorious return. I think that's the biggest stumbling block for me.
Luckily, home will only be an hour away.

Cut that crap out or I'm going to start crying!! Believe me, the first time home after being at your own place will still be grand and glorious. Maybe not the caliber of that Easter stunt you pulled (one for the annals of family history for sure), but you will ALWAYS be welcomed back with loving arms.
