That seems to be more or less what my blog is becoming during these months. Its sad really, but I am sure come August I will be back to buzzing about this and that almost daily again! :)
Yesterday was Father's day, but more importantly...since fathers day will happen at least once a year....my daughter picked me my very first flower from her all by herself! She was out back and I was sitting on my lounge chair and she walked to the side yard and came back with a clover flower and handed it to me and gave me a kiss! If there is anything sweeter in the world I would be shocked!! *sigh* My sweet kids! I love them so much it physically hurts! :D
Back to father's day. Anyone that knows me, knows I hate fathers day...along with Valentines day. But I am getting better at not hating Fathers day so much. I did a pretty good job on breakfast and a cake and presents and even let brian choose one of his favorite meals that is usually forbidden in the hot months for dinner. Out of all his possible choices he narrowed it down to fried chicken tenders, meat loaf, and hamburgers and noodles. He chose the hamburgers and noodles. He is so funny! He loved it all and I think the day went pretty good, considering Laci was miserable from sun up til sun down and it was sweltering and we had a limited amount we could do. I think we pulled it off ok.
We have also started getting the kids on a better sleep time schedual. I am trying to get them in bed at 8 for Laci and 9 for christopher. Last night it was 8:30 and 9:30 but we are getting there. I am hoping soon I will have them both in bed and asleep by 9!
Not a whole lot was productive this last week. We installed a dog runner in the back yard for Pixie and she is in heaven! She loves spending the day outside exploring and sniffing and digging and doing her doggie thing and comes in wiped out and quiet at night. I want to find her a dog house soon though just in case she gets caught in the weather. We went to the lake last weekend but I think I already blogged about that. I have quit my gym as well. Not because I am a quitter, but because my life is just still too busy to have 3 hours a night to be gone...with an hour of that or more just spent on driving. Before our wedding I lost almost 30 pounds dancing to the oldies with Richard Simmons 5 days a week and just being more aware of what I ate. I didnt kill myself on diets and I still enjoyed a meal out or piece of cake once in a while, so I am breaking out my sequin tank top and jumping back on the oldie train! Woot Woot! :) Other than that I dont have a lot going on. I was going to take the kids to the lake today but I woke up with a pounding headache. I took 3 tylenol and a goody powder with my coffee so we will see if it passes by 10am when the pool opens!
Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I am actually praying for some rain soon. I know crazy to complain when we get a month of it but then want it again when its gone...just like a woman huh? But we have another 10 day dry scrorching forecast in store for us. It was 100* friday and saturday here. Ick! I am sooo not into summer weather! But I have fall on the brain because I know my favorite season is in the near future! Yay! I also have decided to decorate the yard for July since I never decorate for anything but Halloween and Christmas. So I am going to go to Michaels I think this afternoon with the kids. Or this morning is my headache is still too bad for the pool. I am excited! I will post pics soon! Oh and we also planted a big rasberry and blue berry bush this weekend too and will be getting more blue berries and black berry bushes from brians grandpa and I plan on making my old flower bed an edible wall each year including a cherry tomato plant (next year) and all my berries! :) Fun!
Welp its my do nothing monday so I better get to doing my nothing! And by nothing I mean laundry, dishes, vacuuming....
Have a great day!
