10/18/12
Not entirely sure that today isn't a Monday...just one of those days. Tomorrow is my exceptionally long day. I can not wait until the weekend. Paranormal Activity 4 on Friday night. Have to get my nails done, too. Other than that, I'm doing nothing. Cleaning I guess. Cooking. Staying in my pajamas as much as possible. I can not wait until vacation! I saw Here Comes the Boom last Friday. It was a surprisingly good movie! I liked it. All three of the kids are working now. Coordinating schedules hasn't been the nightmare I anticipated and things are going rather smoothly in that regard. I had a great day with Bella yesterday, playing at the beach.

10/14/12
My husband reminded me last night that I haven't blogged for awhile. I haven't been doing much of anything except working and trying to squeeze all of my errands in the Monday-Friday schedule. I love having weekends off, but I rarely have the desire to do much of anything. I had a nasty cold about two weeks ago, recovered nicely, and then got hit with some late in the game allergies! Finely feeling better in that regard, but my stomach just hasn't felt right all week. Really no symptoms, just a heavy kind of ache. So yesterday, when I got out of the tub, there was a surprise present on my bed! A pair of Ugg slippers from my husband. Then he picked me up a new pair of ASICS gel-nimbus running sneaks. My husband and I were just talking sneakers yesterday. We're both 40 and when we were in elementary and middle school, you HAD to have Nikes. Adidas and Converse were allowed if you HAD Nikes already. I still love my Nikes and still always own 2 or 3 pairs at any given time, but I think it's mostly because they were such a big deal to me growing up. Plus, they're usually pretty stylin'! We were talking about how much we really are liking Bella's newest Nikes. They're really very well designed for a growing toddler. And we were talking about how grateful we were for our grandparents who always made sure we were rocking a pair of Nikes. Should people care about name brands so much? Probably not, but the reality of America is that they do, so why would a parent not go out of their way to make sure their kid has one less thing to get picked on in school? Now, let me talk ASICS for a minute...these are great shoes if you struggle with wide feet or need a shoe for stability. They do cost a little more, but I know a lot of runners who swear by them...I have very narrow feet, and don't have stability issues and so have had good luck with just about any shoe. The ASICS offer great styling and don't have that old man New Balance vibe...by the way, I've owned one pair of New Balance back when the grey, black, and yellow trail shoe was widely trendy...the WORST shoe ever, in my opinion, like running on hard, rigid plastic. Got rid of those ASAP. In other news, I'm switching gears to prepare for the holiday season...Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Which simply means cleaning, cleaning and cleaning. I have to go through my clothes. I have time to do it today but I don't know if my allergies are up for the task...dust makes me sneeze, and my eyes itch and makes me cough.

Round Two
I seem to be afflicted with this cold again. Not as bad as the first time around, but come on! I'm drinking a cup of coffee because I need the caffeine and then I will be drinking hot tea till this cold is gone. I so enjoyed having the day off yesterday. I like four day work weeks! Things slowly seem to be shaping up into a routine again. I fell asleep at 7 PM Sunday and slept right through until 7 the next morning, but last night I had trouble falling asleep and have been up since 4 AM. I was done work by 1 and went tanning. Now, I'm debating on putting on my pj's and calling it a day. Well this was a blah post for my blah mood.

Well happy October! We're a week in and I haven't blogged yet. Been super busy. Had a fantastic weekend in Maine with family and friends.

How glad are we that it's the weekend??? SO GLAD! Next week will be busy right through the weekend. I said at the beginning of this month that I wanted to get to Maine the weekend of the 6th because my husband is busy with games anyway and there are a few birds I need to kill, and if Hayley gets this new job, our schedules will be even less flexible for a bit, so this will be it to get Bella up there to visit with my parents and grandmother, unless I want to take her alone. I guess we will see how she does next weekend before I make decisions on any solitary trips with her. Shannon's birthday is coming up and she and Desaraye need some Jenn time. Did I mention how glad I am that it is the weekend??? Gosh I need some days off. I kind of wish I took some sort of non-death related vacation before starting my new job. I do get holidays and school vacations off, so that'll be a welcome break. I'm hoping to get into some kind of routine/habit of getting to Maine every 4-6 weeks or so. It'll be easier to commit to that once soccer season is over and my husband can go with me. I have a lot of catching up to do with family and so many many many friends from church and school, I doubt we will ever get bored! I also want to go skiing this winter at good old Hermon Mountain. My cold is better. I really need a back and neck massage, though. I hope my husband is feeling super lovey dovey.

I'm not even ashamed to admit that I'm already in my pajamas. I was up pretty much every hour last night...grrrrrrrr...totally dragging butt at 3:30 pm. Tomorrow is my long day but it should be fairly easy. Journey concert on Saturday!!!! Big smiles. And I will be enjoying the show at the Dunk (INSIDE) while some of my Maine friends will (unfortunately) be seeing the show on the cold waterfront of Bangor.

I'm just finishing up my first cold of the year. I really thought it was my allergies at first but it got worse and then Mitch and Bella got it. Hayley has it now. It was fast and furious which is how I prefer to get sick, if I have to get sick. Right now, my nose is feeling better. I just have a headache tonight but I think that has more to do with my period than the cold. I'm watching The New Girl. I really like this show. Zooey Deschanel is awesome! I also love Weeds. The weekend went by way too fast.

This weekend is going by too fast! I of course, woke up at 6 am. So much for sleeping in. I was super stuffy and had to just move around to loosen things up so I got up, made coffee, spent the morning cuddling with Bella. I took my shower, went to the grocery store and Dollar Tree with Hayley. Back home to relax, listening to One Republic on Pandora, blogging, knitting, relaxing. Date night tonight with my husband. Next Saturday is the Journey concert in Providence.
