My day off from work is Thursday. I have one day off and inevitably it is the busiest, craziest, most tiring day of all. Mostly from all the choices and decisions that I have to make. Because I can't fit it all in the day off. I must put off some things until next week. And that tires me out. It has been unusually busy around here lately. Or maybe it is just usual busyness.
We are in the midst of winding down school projects and such. Cooper graduated from kindergarten last night. It was so cute and I will try and post a picture with him in his little graduation cap.

Chase decided with his class that they would like to give their teacher a good bye present. They decided on a lizard for their classroom. Chase has been collecting money for a good month now and this last weekend was our time to go and buy the animal. And the cage. And the bark. And the heating lamp. And the crickets. And the water bowl. Although the kids did come up with quite a bit of money, Bart and I contributed to the goodbye as well. Good thing I like Ms Payne. Chase took "Bruce the gecko" into school on Tuesday and on Wednesday he came home saying Bruce has already died. Today we had to go back to the store and get a replacement Bruce. Ryan had an orthodontist appointment so MY day really didn't start until I had dropped them both off at school around 10 am. I went tanning and then went to the gym. Watched the beginning of "Stranger than Fiction" for almost 3 miles and was off to take a shower.
I then went to the store to buy some yogurt and pickles. 44 days ago I started the "54 day diet" which is working out remarkably well. 54? you ask. Well, it was 54 days to the Police concert in Vegas. I wanted to be as skinny as I was when I really listened to Sting and Stewart back then. I still have 15 more days but I don't think I will be able to lose 25 more pounds but I have lost 15 pounds and I really have started a lifestyle change of just eating less. Then going to the gym has helped a bit as well. Although I really think it is more the eating less. I went to the gym all last summer as well and I never broke the 10 pound barrier.
We did plant the garden last weekend so I spent time out there watering the baby plants and the hidden seeds. We planted potatoes, corn, carrots, onions, peppers, squash, lettuce, herbs and of course, the fruit of the gods, TOMATOES. 18 plants, my friends. My mouth is starting to water just thinking about those tomato sandwiches.
Finally I spent all this time debating over whether to clean my house or go get my nails redone. Thursday is the one day I can do some really deep cleaning and so many times it just does not get done. I am definately not living my dream of having a clean Martha Stewart house. I really should stop getting that magazine, I guess. But then I would have nothing to read while waiting for Ryan at her soccer tryouts. Anyways, neither got done because I had to take the boys to lacrosse practice and talk to my sister about getting married.
Tomorrow I go back to work. What a relief.
