wow, I thought I cleaned my house good.� Today was my first cleaning with the new lady.� LOVE IT!� 2 ladies, 5 1/2 hrs later, my house sparkles!� They did it all and then some.� Really, I am impressed and looking forward to every 2 weeks.

I think working again has finally caught up to me.  I’ve noticed more that I have fallen behind on.  Cleaning and laundry were always the last to get done.  But I’ve always been good about keeping food and “supplies” in the house.  We ran out of milk, dog food, stain remover, etc.   I’m not making lists anymore, and have gone to the grocery store every other day.  It’s annoying and frustrating to me!  But I do have a cleaning lady starting next week, that will be awesome.  Haven’t had one in over 5 years!  Guess I need to re-manage my time going forward!

I’m so excited, finally have been able to get a couple girls together for a fun getaway weekend!!!  We are going down to Fredericksburg, TX for the Holiday Wine Trail.  We get one wreath and an ornament from each winery we visit.  Our package at the hotel includes a massage too!!!  WOO HOO!!!

so here it is, Saturday morning (with all the windows open…yeah)….and I can’t sleep in.  I actually woke up listening to see if the kids were up and they are all gone!!!!  motherly instinct, internal clock…whatever I just want to sleep.  I drank lots of wine last night and I’m hung over.  Crazy thing, I was craving doritos, so cheetos are satisfying my hunger!  maybe after breakfast, if cheetos can be considered breakfast….i can go back for a nap!

I made it to lunch with Debbie, staff meeting at school, shopped at Old Navy, a pedicure/manicure appt, shopped at Hobby Lobby, stoppped by to see the new Fredrick Baby Boy (Eli), quick shop at walmart, picked up the kids and sent them right to bed when we got home.  easy day, what else…I’m about to clean up dishes and laundry.  That’s my Thursday.  any one want to join??????

my parents took the kids for the day, it’s been 2 weeks since their daily visit.  I’ve been wandering around the house what to do.  I have a million things I could be doing but none of it interests me!!!!!  Clean, put up laundry, finish cleaning out Ava and Sofie’s clothes, grocery shop, get a pedicure, maybe a massage (all the fun stuff!).  I do have a staff meeting at school at 1:30.  Sure enough a day to myself and I still have to go into work for a meeting!!!!  oh well, at least I know I will get out of the house sooner or later.  I’m also going to go visit my friend Jules, she had a boy on Monday.  I’ll probably do that on the way to pick up the kids later this afternoon.  I could work on teamronica, we went to another pumpkin patch yesterday with our playgroup.  Maybe!  I’ll check in tonight and let you know what I accomplished today!!!!!! 

Lifetime Fitness decided to increase their rates, $6 per junior kid.  That would have been an additional $18 a month on top of what we were already paying.  We were cool with paying the higher rates because Lifetime does provide massive benefits.  But when it comes down to it, and I can save $50 a month on a family membership at LA Fitness….I’m switching.  I hardly used the pool at lifetime, which really was the only added benefit for us.  The child care center at Lifetime is top of line, but my kids are only there for an hour out of the day.  LA Fitness has an adequate child care center…and they allow snacks and drinks.  HUGE!  I noticed the other day when I was there, the pilates class….there were 8 people.  The instructor was helping one on one with everyone.  You never got that at Lifetime.  All Lifetime group fitness classes were packed, if you didn’t arrive 15 minutes early, you were not getting a spot in that class.  I hated how packed every class was.  Pros and cons to it all…it’s whatever you are up for.

I once thought it would be a privilege to have your ears pierced, thinking by age 4 the girl would be ready to do it.  I took Ava and Sofie to get their ears pierced, but Ava wanted nothing to do with it.   Sofie walked away with CZ earrings, cute as can be!  Ava tells me she will be 18 when she gets her ears pierced.  Too funny!  So we will wait for Ava, in the mean time….Sofie is branded!!! 

Really…do the celebrities have to be so ignorant sometimes?!?!?!?  I mean, they are in the spot light 24/7.  Why do they continue to do things that are illegal or not so “becoming”????  Are they stupid or smart…..they get publicity out of it.  It just kills me when I hear of a celeb drinking and driving, or athletes doing drugs, or dog fighting.  Seriously?!?!?!?!?!  Do they not have enough money that they have to do illegal things….hire a freaking driver, go on vacation, something!  I know paparazzi doesn’t make it easy to get out of the public eye, and the public is crazy about gossip…..but come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   You can do a little better than that!  There are plenty of celebs that live out of the limelight and do just fine!
