Okay, let me hit the pause button!

I wish I had a pause button sometimes, especially for days like yesterday and today. It has been CRAZY around here. Let me begin saying that planning doesn't go well when any part of the plan involves your hubby arriving home and on time via an airplane.

Let me explain. First, I would like to take you to my dream weekend. It began with a Saturday of going to the local Wally World and purchasing some furniture I have been wanting to get for lounging around our pool and to have a comfy place to sit while the kids swim. Then I would help my hubby with the yard work. Sunday would be a day of leisure. The hubby wanted to take the kids to see Kung Fu Panda and I was going to spend a quiet afternoon at home scrapbooking. Ahh, so sweet.

Now lets get back to reality. My hubby was to return home yesterday evening via an airplane. As you may have guessed this did not occur. He made it as far as Chicago O'Hare on his return trip from Canada and all flights coming our way were cancelled. Then he couldn't get on another flight until maybe late Saturday or sometime Sunday. Oh, and since so many flights were cancelled most of the hotels were booked up. He calls and asks what can we do. He so did not want to stay in the airport for two days. He has spent the night in a few and it is not his favorite thing to do. He had been up since 2:30 am and was exhausted. I put on my thinking cap and finally I ask him to try to get at least half way by bus. I mean I wasn't really in the mood to drive 8+ hours to Chicago with 2 kids. He ended up not being able to get a bus out last night, but there was a hotel room available near the bus station. I booked him a seat for a early, early morning ride. He didn't have any luggage. It was all at the airport (they had misplaced his luggage, go figure). TT and I drove up and met him today. The only big plus was that we had to eat Jack in the Box tacos. Darn!! So after over 7 hours in a bus and 4 to 5 in our car he is home. Whew, I'm still spinning and a little nauseous from all those tacos.

This has been a heck of a week. It seems like everyone has wanted a piece of me this week and there isn't much left for the weekend. Now instead of relaxing tomorrow I get to spend it driving my hubby 80+ miles to the airport to retrieve his truck and hopefully his luggage.

I know next week will be brighter. Here is hoping.

Just can't get back in the saddle.

As my weight loss journey continues I find myself unable to get back in the saddle. For 5 to 6 weeks I followed the plan to the tee. I wasn't ever hungry and felt better than I had in years. Now after having a sinus infection, major dental work and a vacation I just can't get back on track.

I am still loosing weight at the rate of about 2 pounds a week but I haven't exercised since my dental procedure and I have been cheating quite a bit when I eat. The main problem is that it makes me feel yucky and I know if I just stopped I would feel better. I just can't.

I plan on going to the grocery store Sunday and planning my meals for next week just like I did when I started. I also want to get back to exercising if its no more than walking on my treadmill for 30 minutes. I will do better!

Summer Break?

I was thinking that as of today our summer break would officially begin. Poogie completed her dance recital yesterday and now we are free of commitments until mid July. I don't know what i was thinking. Today, was full of all the stuff that had to be set aside the last week or so due to dance, school, and other daily dramas.

I have spent the day doing laundry, cleaning, and grocery shopping. Hopefully, I will get to start summer break soon. Of course, I rarely get a truly free day. It would be nice, but a few free hours would do.

I did take a few hours Saturday to spend with the kids in the pool. It was cloudy and warm. Just perfect. I ended up getting a little too much sun, but it was nice. I know, I know that you can burn even on cloudy days, but I even had sunblock on.

Saturday night my hubby and I went to see Sex and the City. We were both huge fans of the series. My hubby actually counted down the days till the premiere. It did not disappoint. I cried and laughed. It just made me miss the series even more. Sniff. Sniff.

Well off to cook dinner.
