Weekend highlights so far ...

ALWAYS trying to be positive ;)

After a rather grumpy start yesterday (mostly because I went to bed way too late Friday night and BLOGGER gave me some "issues'), I did get a bunch accomplished ...

  • grocery shopping
  • gift for the Giving tree purchased and dropped off at Church
  • trip to TARGET
  • brought 4 of my girls to Church for 5pm mass (husband and daughter #2 are out of state -swim meet)
  • baked 2 dozen cupcakes for Sunday school party
  • watched "You've Got Mail" (Yes, I sometimes need to schedule some "me" time)
  • went to bed super late again (thankfully my girls let me sleep until 7:50am)

So far today ...
  • took daughter #3 to Sunday school
  • speed shopped at Target by myself
  • picked up daughter #3 and bought family some donuts
  • enjoyed my cup of coffee and donut ;)

Now I am onto ...
  • some laundry
  • finish up Christmas cards
  • decorate my mantle (oops ... this is very late for me)
  • take {e} to a late lunch just the two of us (she'll help me shop for teacher gifts)
  • head out to another better grocery store to buy my fruit/veggies for the week)
  • stop at some stores along the way

*Update on {k} who has had a GREAT weekend of swimming. For some reason this child always does well when I am not around and when she travels far from home. She had some personal bests and maintained some of her best times (in the last meet her times were a little slower).

**Can't wait for my husband to come home, but I have to be honest ... I get a lot done when he is not around on weekends.

OK, time to get busy again!

You've gotten a LOT accomplished! I haven't been as productive as I would have liked because of a certain TWO YEAR OLD who has decided to show me what being two can really mean.

Way to go, {k}!

WTG, {K}! That is great!

It sounds like you accomplished A TON of things this weekend. I tend to be more productive when my husband isn't around too although I am headed out in a few minutes to do more shopping and if it wasn't for him, I would be having to take many children with me. :)

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
