Monday!!!

Schwerking today, hoping to be as productive as I was Friday.
Then picking up Matthew from daycare and babysitting for an hour or so. Then depending on how Pete felt today either cleaning inside the house or cutting the lawn. Whee!

I'm waiting for an old friend to show up on my door step. I thought I had missed her but she left a day later than usual. It's always a good time.

I should still find the time to get the lawn done also. I'm thinking I'd like to clean my car too, but it will depend on how long lunch will be.

I would just like to say that in these tough economic times there has been this lie that has been told that communicating with the bank works out and there are options available. Obviously these people have never dealt with my bank.

I can't wait to be done with all businesses of that town.

What happened now?!

They told me that since we were closing the month's mortgage payments did not need to be paid, which was good because there is no money for that, but now that closing has been delayed they want their money yesterday. I told her I was unemployed for nearly a month and this should have been closed on months ago and I was going to have a problem making these payments this month and they told me if I didn't have it, they'd get it from my parents. There were no options available except to pay the loans.

Seriously? I just want it to be over with.

Fuckers

yeah, and to top it off because of the delay the payments are now late so they are tacking on a late charge.

It is always a little sad when Melissa leaves....even on the way home from soccer practice Leaf sighs and goes, "Oh, Melissa already left." But it is always good to have her here, it is amazing how you guys have become like part of my family!

I have lots of laundry to do, and just some general stuff.

In other news, Piri got her ears pierced today and she looks so cute!

Angie, I think we need an updated picture of Piri w/ her new pierced ears!

I seriously don't understand why your kids even like me, Angie! It isn't like I dazzle them with mad skills or anything. I don't get it, but I am very grateful for all of you in my life! It's always a pleasure to spend time with ya! Sometime I need to get at least the twins here to MI for some city experience!

I think because when you come to visit, it isn't just to see me. You take an interest in each one of them, and it makes them feel valued. It is honestly like you are my sister, because that is how they feel when when of their aunts and uncles visit, too.

And Bethany, I will try for a picture today!

Monday again, it's funny how it comes around every 7 days or so

Work, gym, babysitting Matthew good times.

Ah Monday. Have the day off again today, have some things regarding the business to take care of and then misc. chores throughout the day. I'm sure I'll keep myself busy.

Andrew is 14 today. I've been at work all day, we have an appointment in Erie, all the kids except Andrew have soccer games...the poor kid! But we got him some nice gifts....

Life needs to slow down some days!

Pete, what is the new job you got? I'm out of the loop, or just can't remember....

It's at a bank down here in their customer service department aka call center. It's a corporate job which is very new to me. lol. The hours are much better and the pay is much better.

It also has lots of room to grow int and lots of potential for the future which is always nice.

That is awesome! It is so nice when you feel like you are stepping up! YAY!!

Happy Monday everyone!
I'm going to the gym after work. My workouts are increasing but my eating habits are still in the toilet (awkward mental image)

It's getting super chilly here, slept with the window open and snuggled under the down comforter...mmmmmmm

I am having a hard time with the food thing too Bethany....and I had given up on exercise for awhile, so now I have 7 pounds back....

I have tried to commit to running everyday...and I now have a 3 day streak going....we will see. It is hard.

I miss our forum, but our internet was down for a week, and life is just hectic most of the time....but I do miss everybody.....even Bob....how weird is that?

That is incredibly strange (bob I mean, not that you miss him )

I haven't lost weight yet, but going to the gym is mecoming more of a reality for me. Right now I am trying for 3 days a week and hoping by november to have it up to 4. It seems to me, I either have food under control or excerise, but never the two together! It's irritating!

Yeah, I can't figure it, it's so frustrating

insulation guys are here and they are pretty easy on the eyes.

I also just moved my big tv upstairs, it's much better than the itty bitty one.

that is EXACTLY how I feel!

Balancing food and exercise is probably one of the most difficult things to do. Keep trying, but don't your entire life worrying about your weight. That's important for your health, but don't obsess over it and let it be the focus of your existance. I'm not saying that's the case, but it can happen.

Good Morning everyone!

:crickets:

I'm working out with the trainer 2 times this week b/c I need to get 4 more sessions out before my time limit expires (the contract is over and I have 2 months from the end of the contract to use up all my sessions)
I'm also feeling ill so this should be a lot of fun
