Hello everyone. This is becoming a loooong day for me. It's a school holiday today and tomorrow so I had to take both boys with me to the grocery store. Ugh, what agony. I survived and got it all put away and got them fed. Then I couldn't find a screw that fell out of the bottom of Ewan's highchair. So I was crawling around on the floor looking for it and kept noticing places I need to clean (like the floor in little corners and under the stove--places that are really hard to clean. I hate it when I notice all those things but don't have a lot of time to really clean them. Also, I have PMS so I kind of have an urge to clean but not a lot of energy. As soon as Ewan goes down for a nap I'll be doing GS Back, Shoulders & Biceps. I'll see if I have time to clean after that.
OK, very boring post so far. Let me catch up on everyone else.
Lori, I hope your dog comes home soon! I've had several dogs, cats, and one duck in the past so I know how hard it is when one runs off!
Sara, good luck with the dress shopping with kids! I know how that can be (since I had the grocery shopping today with my 2-year old and 5-year old--agony, like I said. At least I didn't have to take them into a dressing room with me to get groceries.
Amelia, I've been feeling like I might be coming down with something since yesterday afternoon (though it might be a combo of pms and allergies). Surely we aren't passing germs via the internet?!? As for Cathe's shipping, I think a lot of it depends on location. I live in southern New York so I usually get stuff pretty quickly (like within a day or two) but I know people in California have to wait quite a bit longer.
Welcome Cathy! I'm one who's trying to lose weight--I've lost 25 lbs but I'm struggling to lose the last 15. I officially want to lose 15 but once I get to that goal weight I might want to lose 5-10 more--just wanted a more realistic goal weight.
OK, speaking of buying workouts, I'm going to make a naughty confession here. My DH is super tightfisted and complains about spending. I brought home a great pair of brown loafers last week that only cost $9. I thought he would be impressed at such a good deal (they were heavily discounted in the DSW clearance aisles) but instead he said it was "$9 too much." That's just an example of how cheap he is. (He might not have complained if they'd been sexy stiletto heels, though.) Anyway, it's not like we can't afford to buy a few Cathe workouts, but he's just so terribly cheap that I found a way to hide a few of my purchases. I purchased a couple Visa gift cards at the grocery store (with the rest of my grocery order)--only one card at a time so it wasn't too expensive. He doesn't check my grocery receipts--just checks the bank statements online. So I ordered the workouts with the gift cards. Isn't it terrible? I feel guilty sometimes about being sneaky, but I also feel like he is unreasonable about spending. There are plenty of things I restrain myself from buying and I'm pretty careful with money. He admits we live below our means nowadays so I hate to hear his complaints about $9 shoes and the like. And as far as shoes go, he has no idea how many shoes women need (let alone want) since he gets by with about 3 pairs of shoes: one dress, one casual, one athletic.
OK, that confession was also a rant.
Cheryl, hope you're having a great day at work--sounds like you're busy as usual.
OK, my toddler has again filled his pants so I'm off to do my messy job and then put him down for a nap.
