I stayed up way too late and paid for it. I dragged butt today. I thought I didn't have much to do as far as errands, but was wrong once again. Katie got here and I went to the gym, the post office, and Ealy to drop off Heather's Oxybutinin (for daytime wetting).

Came home and showered, then went to Nat. City and Meijer to get groceries. Food prices sure are outrageous. Only one cart this week and I still spent $250. And I only got a few things that weren't on my list.

Came home and napped. Got up and cancelled my Dr. appt. with the dermatologist. (I ended up with acne in my 30's - go figure). Jon took Tay to cheerleading tonight, while I stayed home and beat kids. :)

Speaking of kids, I just checked on a couple of daycare kids that are sleeping. Tyler keeps getting out of his pack and play and goes to sleep with his brother, Ethan. I've tried discouraging it in the past, but it's so cute that tonight I just left them.

Can this week go any slower????

Not that I want it to fly by, it just seems like I've been running around and getting nowhere. I stayed up until 3:30 this morning and got through a little bit of my to-do pile. Wait, one of my to-do piles.

On Tuesday, Taylor went to the Fruitland Township Hall to learn about voting. They also cleaned up the playground for a service patch. She then went to cheerleading. I almost didn't let her go to both; that's alot of stuff to do in one day, especially with a full day of school. But she did good, and, of course, went to bed REALLY good.

I had class that night. I did another presentation; this one on the pros and cons of homework. I got some of my grades back from last week's presentation, a written report, and something that we did in class, and I was happy with the grades.

Yesterday, I went to physical therapy, then to Sociology class. That went well; especially because we got out early. :) He's not supposed to let us out early, but imo, if we get through the lessons and we're not failing our tests, it should be fine.

Katie's here; I can hear her car, lol. Guess I'll go get dressed; I have to go to the gym. No really, I have to, says fat girl....... :)

Just because I didn't have enough that I want to accomplish in a day....

I started a new MySpace just for daycare/parenting. Go to myspace.com/atonoffunchildcare to join!!

I also started a new webpage - check back later, too, there will be more!!

busy Sunday

I got up at 6:30 Sunday morning. Ugggg, there's something that I didn't want to do on my day off......

Got ready and was at my Mom's by 9. We packed up and headed north to Scottville for my cousin's baby shower (it's her 3rd kid, but that's another story). The food was the bonus (isn't it always?). We had ham & turkey sandwiches, cheesy potatoes (YUM!!), cherry & orange jello (with fruit, of course), pickles, and punch. We didn't have cake; my Mom made cupcakes instead. On the chocolate cupcakes I put a cream cheese frosting (which is the best!!), and the white cupcakes had chocolate frosting. Heather helped decorate them. She's not one to be in the kitchen, so that was nice. The girls were good; only had to beat them once. We had the shower at the Senior Center where my aunt works. It was a nice place, with a ton of space.

We stopped at my sister Deanna's after we left the shower. They painted their walls and had their wood floors re-done a few weeks ago, so she wanted me to see them. Then she had some stuff in her basement to give me. She was going to have a yard sale, but never got around to it, so she gave me a TON of clothes, mostly for Katie's baby, Elijah. And some toys, and a comforter set, a shelf with daisies, and a cool lampshade nightlight for the girls room.

We stopped back at Mom's, packed up the Durango, and finally got home around 4:30. I was exhausted. Came home and ate some of my Mom's cheesy potatoes (those will go right to my ass, I'm sure), and took a nap. I set my alarm for a half hour later. When it went off, I shut it off and fell back to sleep, only to wake up an hour later. Great, that put me behind. I just spent the rest of the night getting the girls fed, bathed, and ready for bed.

Here's where I was naughty. I stayed up until just after 3 because I was cleaning. I got a TON of stuff done!! Of course I'm dragging ass really bad today.....
