It's the last week before school starts - and boy, am I celebrating!!! I have enjoyed my kids a ton this summer, and it's gone SO fast, but I am completely ready for them to go back to school.
This is the first time I will have all three in school - E. is off to kindergarten this year. He'll be there half days MWF and all day TTh. I can't even imagine how I will fill the time. I tend to be really stingy and indecisive when I get time to myself, but maybe with it happening every day I'll learn better how to manage it... we'll see. I do plan to get back into my room and create my little brains out... I've got so many projects in my head that need to come to fruition...
We're cleaning house this week. I've got the kids going through the basement play room, digging out toys to sell at a garage sale this weekend. We're in totaly purge mode... ready to start the school year with an emptier house and a little more space... I really want to do a whole-house deep clean, but feel like that would be sort of silly with the upcoming kitchen remodel and all the dust and mess that will create. I think I'll wait and do the deep clean after the kitchen is done and for now we'll just eliminate schtuff.
Finally got to the grocery store last night - I was Old Mother Hubbard all week, trying to come up with meals out of next to nothing. Somehow there's always a can of kidney beans and a box of spaghetti... I didn't get so desperate that we had to eat those, but it was pretty bleak. I feel empowered with my menu made and the groceries bought... makes my job as meal provider SO much easier.
Exercising is going well. I missed Saturday, since Asia surprised me after work by taking us all out to Olive Garden. There was no way I was going to come home after that and work out, I was so pleasantly full of my Eggplant Parmesan and salad (no onions, please.) But it's the only day I've missed and it's working - I got on the scale this morning and I lost 3 pounds since last Monday! Hip Hip Hooray! (I've also been counting Weight Watcher points - working out alone never helps me lose weight...)
The kids are hollering from down under, wanting my help as they sort and decide what to keep and what to sell. I'm off to assist!
Have a great Monday, everyone!
