Just Thursday

Outside my window..blue skies, sun, and estimated highs in the 70's today!!!

Today I feel..excited.  I got a big order in the mail yesterday, another one to be delivered today.

I am thinking..about all the things I have on my plate.

I am thankful..that God has allowed me to live another day.

Tomorrow I am..working and playing with the fellas.  I need to go out and buy a birthday present and a graduation present too.

I am wearing..new gray pants and a new pink shirt, and new black wedge sandals.  So so cute.  It's amazing what new clothes do for my attitude.  I feel great!

I wish..I could just blink and my projects would be done.

This weekend I..must start painting the ceiling and walls in my kitchen.  I'm going to take the boys to an event in the town I work in.  They are bringing a bunch of vehicles and equipment in for the kids to explore.  We also have a birthday and a graduation party to go to.

I need to..clean and organize the boys' toy room. {Same as last week...never touched it.}

I am reading..The Pioneer Woman's, Black Heals to Tractor Wheel.  Well I shouldn't say I'm reading it.  I have it, but haven't cracked it open yet. 

Yesterday I...did a friends' nails and played with the fellas.

I am hoping..for a stress free weekend!!!!

Just Thursday

Outside my window..finally! The sun is shining! What a difference the sunshine makes on my energy level and mood.

Today I feel..energized and renewed!!!

I am thinking..about Scentsy. These last few days it has been on my mind all the time.  I am so excited to be starting this new chapter in my life.

I am thankful..for wonderful friends, and the opportunities that have come my way.

Tomorrow I am..working, playing with the kiddos, and playing with all of my new Scentsy stuff.

I am wearing..gray dress pants, a really cute pink shirt I just got from Old Navy, and peep-toe heals.

I wish..I had a few extra hours the next few days to get all of my stuff organized.

This weekend I..hope to get some more yard work done.  I have my niece Saturday morning which I love.  Her and the boys have such a great time together. 

I need to..clean and organize the boys' toy room.  It is getting out of control and I can't stand it.

I am reading..nothing...yet.  I have to run down to the library and grab The Pioneer Woman's, Black Heals to Tractor Wheels that I had on hold and is ready for me.  I can't wait to read it!

Yesterday I..worked and hung out with the kiddos.  I normally clean on Wednesday nights, but the crappy weather has had me so unmotivated.  I did make a yummy dinner; Ramen Noodle Stir-Fry.  It was yummy and the boys scarfed it down.

I am hoping..for succes.

Just Thursday

Outside my window..it's cloudy with the sunshine peeking through every once in a while.  And it's really warm and windy.

Today I feel..good.

I am thinking..about a lot of things:

• I am slowly adding my weight back on due to my lack of self control and I am not happy about it.
• My new venture....just a little while longer and I'll be able to announce the news to you. :-)  
• My BFF Barb.  I miss her so much.  I wish we lived closer.  I just KNOW that we would be with each other all of the time watching our kids play.  I know that we would be so supportive of each other when it comes to daily life and the kids.  I have my sister here, and she truly is wonderful, but I feel like she gets ALL of the burden of my venting and such.  I need to share some of it with another person or else my sister is going to get burned out and not want to be my friend anymore {grin}.

I am thankful..for my sister.  Without her I really don't know where I'd be.  She is my rock, my best friend.

Tomorrow I am..working {of course}and then I have a retirement party to go to.  I'm looking forward to that.  Some drinks and adult time...woo hoo!!!

I am wearing..gray dress pants, and a purple top {with short sleeves because it's actually warm}.

I wish..I could hire someone to do our spring clean-up outside.  We lost a tree so that needs to be cut up and cleaned up.  Also, because of the tornado-like winds we had, the boys beautiful play set was blown over and it's mangled in several places so that needs to be cleaned up and repaired.  Not to mention the regular yearly stuff, tree limbs, leaves, flower beds.  It's all so overwhelming.

This weekend I..hope to get some yard work done.  The yard is a muddy mess, but I will throw some boots on the boys, let them get dirty, and start to clean up everything from the fall and winter.  

I need to..order a load of mulch to be delivered.  This will be the first time I've done that, but I honestly do not have the time to go anywhere, pick up gazillions of bags of mulch, load them up, unload them, and then carry them all over the yard.  At this point, I don't care how much it will cost.

I am reading..nothing, but I do have two books reserved at the library.

Yesterday I..worked and then finally got some cleaning done at home.  I am so thankful the boys were busy playing with each other that they didn't care what I was up to.

I am hoping..for a beautiful weekend.  We really really need a break from all of the rain.

Just Thursday

Outside my window..hmm, I'm not quite sure. I know it's a bit chilly.  I was thinking about some things on my way to work, so much so that I didn't even pay attention to what the weather is doing. 
*Oh wait, hubby just texted me to tell me it's snowing. Seriously disgusting!!!*

Today I feel..content, hopeful, excited, nervous.

I am thinking..about a new venture.  Something I chatted with a friend about last night.  ;-)  I am super excited and can not wait to reveal it to y'all!!!
I'm also thinking about the boys' play set and how sweet mother nature decided to topple it over yesterday.  I am wondering how it is going to be fixed.  It's not even a year old and was very expensive.  Hubby put a lot of time and energy {and love} into it.

I am thankful..for the friends I have made these last few years.

Tomorrow I am..off of work.  Hubby has to work during the day and then we are going to go out to dinner as a family.  Then I'd like to take the boys to the mall to ride the merry-go-round...their new favorite activity.

I am wearing..black dress pants and my favorite black and cream large polka dot shirt.

I wish..winter would go away.  I am ready for and need sunshine and warmth!!!

This weekend I..have nothing major planned.  We are going to my parent's for Easter dinner.  I'm really looking forward to Easter and hiding eggs and watching the boys excitement Sunday morning.

I need to..get cracking on the painting in the kitchen.  And share pictures of my living room face-lift!

I am reading..nothing.

Yesterday I..worked and the boys, my fairy godmother and I went to Kohls for some summer clothes {for the boys, not me...boo}

I am hoping..for success in my new venture.

Just Thursday

Outside my window..it's snowing.  Makes me want to cuss at Mother Nature.  Just.Not.Right.

Today I feel..overwhelmed.

I am thinking..and remembering where we were three years ago today.  Three years ago I was home on bed rest.  I had no idea that in just a few short days I would be meeting two little people that would change me forever.

I am thankful..for the last three years, and that my children are happy, healthy, thriving, energetic, loving, smart, and handsome little boys.

Tomorrow I am going..to work and then work on some home projects and birthday party projects.

I am wearing..taupe dress pants {that did NOT fit a few weeks ago but do now...loosely} and a green shirt.

I wish..I didn't gain .5 pounds this week.  It's not a surprise.  I have no one to blame but myself.

This weekend I..will be celebrating Marcus & Maddox's {third} birthday.

I need to..finish up my gallery wall.  I can not wait to see the finished product!

I am reading..nothing.

Yesterday I..worked, took the boys out to dinner {by myself - a first and they were so good} and then for haircuts.  They got haircuts, I got my roots retouched and my brows and stache waxed.

I am hoping..for a non-stressful weekend.

I bet you didn't know..that I am a procrastinator.  I wait until the last minute to do just about everything.  It's stressful, but I work well under pressure.

Just Thursday

Outside my window..the sun is shining.  It's a bit chilly...but it's a hell of a lot better than the shit {snow storm} we had yesterday.

Today I feel..tired. I had crazy dreams last night, and when I dream I am always tired.  I had a horrible dream about my husband dying...I woke up and had to feel next to me to make sure he was there.

I am thinking..about how full I am from my yummy lunch of cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, and homemade tomato florentine soup...and now I need something sweet.

I am thankful..that it was only a dream.  I couldn't imagine life without him.  I felt the pain in my dream and that was enough.

Tomorrow I am going..to work and then go to Yankee Candle for their $1 tart and votive sale.

I am wearing..black paints and a black, white, and red top.

I wish..I didn't eat three cookies from Subway yesterday that totaled 630 calories.  That is more than what I have for dinner.  {They were tasty though.}

This weekend I..am planning on creating my gallery wall in my living room.  I have so many creative ideas in my head..I just hope I can express them.  Also on Sunday we are going to brunch to celebrate the marriage of my sister-in-law and her new husband.  They got married in Vegas last year.

I need to start..exercising.  I'm {impatiently} waiting for my Zumba Fitness DVD's to arrive.  I can't wait to get my Zumba on!
I am reading..nothing.

I am working on..my creativity :-)

Yesterday I..worked, played with the fellas, and re-arranged photos in frames.

I am hoping..my DVD's come soon.

I bet you didn't know..that I'm STILL smoke free!

Just Thursday

Outside my window..I have no clue what it's like outside.  I haven't seen out there since 8am...it was kinda cloudy and getting *warm* for Western NY standards. 
Today I feel..rested.
I am thinking..my stomach is full...but my brain is still hungry.
I am thankful..for losing .5lbs this week.  I binged on beer, M&M's, and homemade chocolate/butterscotch/m&m cookies.  I thought for sure I would gain and prayed I would at least stay the same.  .5! Woo Hoo!
Tomorrow I am going..to do whatever I want.  I'm taking the day off.  I have to grocery shop and buy my mom a birthday gift...other than that...no plans.
I am wearing..gray dress paints and this really cute black shirt my sister gave me that makes me feel good about myself.
I wish..that I could be one of those people that could eat anything they want.
This weekend I..don't have much going on.  Boys have a hair cut appointment on Saturday and I am getting my brows and hairy lip ripped off :-)
I am reading..nuttin'
I am working on..collecting money from criminals.
Yesterday I..worked, played with the fellas, and cleaned the house.
I am hoping..that my girlfriend brings an amazing dessert to Pizza Night tonight....it's my cheat night.
I am hearing..the radio.
I bet you didn't know..that I drink about 120 ounces of water when I'm at work....but I barely touch it when I'm at home.
One of my favorite..I've said this before and I'll say it again...one of my favorite days of the week is Thursday because it's Pizza Night!!!
If I could travel anywhere..I would choose..Europe.  Yes...ALL of Europe.  You didn't think I'd pick just one country did you? :-)

Just Thursday

Outside my window..there is some big bright thing in the sky. It hurt my eyes this morning.  What on earth is it?

Today I feel..psyched!

I am thinking..about my weigh-in this morning.  Down THREE pounds for a total weight loss so far of 12.5 pounds.

I am thankful..for my husband.  He is my number one fan, always so supportive and there to cheer me on.

Tomorrow I am going..to work, and then take the kids to one of my nephews' lacrosse games.

I am wearing..gray dress paints, a purple shirt, and a cute little three quarter sleeved jacket.

I wish..that I didn't have to exercise.  But I know I have to.  I really haven't exercised since before I got pregnant with the boys.  Once I lose this weight, I'm going to be all soft and flabby.  I MUST get started now so once the weight is off my muscles will be tight too.

This weekend I..am getting a pedicure and going to a professional lacrosse game with my sister and her family on Saturday.  No plans on Sunday which is exactly what I like.

I am reading..nothing.  I have several books to read but just haven't found the time to crack those babies open.

I am working on..becoming healthy.  I quit smoking, went off the birth control pill {no, we are not trying to get pregnant} that I was on for way too many years, and changed my eating habits.

Yesterday I..worked, made an awesome dinner of Tilapia, brown rice and green beans, of which my children ate ALL of.  My girlfriend came over and I gave her a manicure and pedicure.  And then the boys and I had a dance party in the family room.

I am hoping..that pizza night tonight isn't as loud and crazy as it has been lately.  My nephews tend to get a little nutso when they come to my house {why? I don't know} and it can be kinda stressful.

I am hearing..the second hand moving on the clock in my office.  It's kinda loud.

I bet you didn't know..that I took cake decorating classes many years back.  I used to LOVE baking and decorating cakes.  I haven't made/decorated a cake since we moved into our house five years ago.  I really need to brush up on my skills {read that Napolean Dynamite style} and make the boys' birthday cake this year.  Sad that I have this talent and haven't put it to use with my children.

One of my favorite..days of the week is Thursday...because it's pizza night but also my *cheat* night.  I get to pig out on pizza AND dessert. {Last week I had four slices of BBQ Pizza AND two slices of Cheesecake!} (and I still managed to lose 3 pounds)

My Valentine's plans include..nothing special.  Hang out with the hubs and the kiddos on Sunday.  I won't see my hubby on Valentine's Day except for a brief moment when I get home from work and he leaves.

Just Thursday ~ January 13, 2011

Outside my window..it's cold and snowy.

The time is..8:58AM.

Today I feel..mad.

I am thinking..about how the black cloud hanging over me bringing me bad luck is really starting to piss me off.

At the moment, I am thankful..that I haven't hurt anyone yet today.

I am going..to the auto parts store on my lunch to replace the drivers' side windshield wiper that fell off this morning.  This caused me to drive to work with no wiper which in the summer would have been just fine.  But in the winter, after a big snow fall, salt is spread all over our roads, then the snow melts and there is water...lots of salty dirty water...that gets sprayed all over your windshield causing you to have to WIPE it constantly...which is really difficult to do when you don't have a wiper.

I am wearing..black dress paints and a cute pink sweater my sister gave to me when she cleaned out her closet {I love when she cleans out her closet...I get lots of new stuff}.

I wish..this bad luck would go away.  Is this how the whole year is going to be?  I can't take much more.

I am reading..nothing these days.  I have a pile of books to read at home, a few freebies I downloaded, and one on reserve at the library.  I really need to get back to reading again.  Reading has always been an escape for me...and I could really use an escape right about now.

I am working on..losing weight.  I'm using My Fitness Pal to track my food and exercise.  I am loving this site.  I really wanted to go back to Weight Watchers but I just can not afford it.  And really, all Weight Watchers does is take all the nutrition information of a food and calculates it into points.  My Fitness Pal counts calories.  Oh, and it's FREE!

I am hoping..that hubs and I continue to stick to our new healthy lifestyles.  It makes dieting so much easier when we do it together.

I am hearing..the radio and the sound of my fingers typing on the keyboard.

I bet you didn't know..I have been smoke free for SIX WEEKS!!!!!!

One of my favorite..snacks these days are Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels.  I can have thirty of them for seventy calories.  I make them last...one by one by one.

Weekend Plans..

[Thursday] It's my weekly Pizza Night.  I'm going to make a pepperoni one for my brother-in-law and his kids since they're boring like that.  For the rest of us {my sister, my kids, and I} I'm going to make a barbecue chicken one.  This way I can keep the calories low and still enjoy some pizza.
[Friday] No plans besides work.  I hope it stays that way.
[Saturday] Assemble Marcus and Maddox's BIG BOY BEDS! It's time.  I'm scared. 
[Sunday] Not sure yet...lets hope Saturday night goes well and that we all get a good nights sleep.

Join the fun!

Just Thursday ~ December 23, 2010

Outside my window..it's cold and grey.

The time is..8:25AM

Today I feel..content, but I know as soon as I start thinking of all there is to do I'll be feeling stressed.

I am thinking..about everything that needs to be done before tomorrow evening.

At the moment, I am thankful..for this holiday season.  That we are healthy, have food to eat and a wonderful family to share it with.  I am thankful that we could afford to buy our children presents for Christmas.  It was a struggle, but it makes me think of those who can't afford to buy one gift or afford to put a hot meal on the table.  With the number of billionairres and millionairres out there, there shouldn't be such a thing as homelessness or poverty.

I am going..to go meet my girlfriend's new baby Mia today.  I can't wait to hold her and snugggle her and smell her.

I am wearing..pink pajama bottoms that have candies all over them (the boys love these jammies) with a pink pajama top and pink slippers.  I kinda look like Pepto Bismal threw up all over me now that I think of it :-)

I wish..every child has a present to open this Saturday morning, and that they have a wonderful, loving family to share their Christmas with.

I am reading..Skinny Italian, the cookbook written by Terese Guidice from The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

I am working on..getting the rest of the presents wrapped and built.  I was up until 1am this morning building one of the boys' toys.  I also need to start cleaning this house and getting it ready for company.  I love having company, it motivates me to clean things that I normally don't do on a weekly basis.

I am hoping..for a relaxing, fun Christmas Eve and Christmas.

I am hearing..Good Morning America and the kiddos starting to wake.

I bet you didn't know..I haven't had a cigarette in THREE WEEKS!!!!  I feel fabulous.  There are moments when I want one but all in all it has been great.  The medication is a form of anti-anxiety med so THAT portion of it is doing wonders as well.  I feel much more care free and less overwhelmed with life.  I think it's doing miraculous things for my marriage as well.  I no longer am on the edge and always angry with my husband.  If you are a smoker, I highly recommend Chantix.  Do it!  You'll thank me.

One of my favorite..Christmas traditions, is the breakfast I make each year and have made for the last...oh...ten years probably. (Wow, that makes me feel old)

Weekend Plans..

[Thursday] I'm off work today.  Going to run to the post office and go snuggle a new baby.  Then home to start some cleaning and prepare for Pizza Night tonight!
[Friday] Relax with the family.  Go to my in-laws for Christmas Eve festivities.  I hope they have mimosas!
[Saturday] Christmas!!!  I can NOT wait until Christmas  morning.  The boys "get" it much more this year.  We will be staying home in our jammies, enjoying new toys and relaxing.  Then my family comes to our house for dinner and more present opening.  Ooh I'm so excited!
[Sunday] Going to the Buffalo Bills vs New England Patriots game with my Fairy Godmother.  It is going to be so cold.  I don't get why Buffalo, NY would not have a covered football stadium.  I usually don't go to a game this late in the season, but because of my Fairy Godmother's illness we missed the game we planned to go to earlier.  She has season tickets and we go to a game at least once a year.  Our favorite part is the Bills' Store.  I just pray for no snow, Buffalo gets slammed...their last storm had people stranded on the Thruway for over 10 hours.


How are you today?  What are your weekend plans?

I hope each and every one of you have a wonderful Christmas! 

Just Thursday ~ November 18, 2010

Outside my window..it's cold, windy, and rainy.  Guess it's time to get used to this kind of weather as we'll be seeing it for several months to come.

The time is..12:31PM

Today I feel..starving.  I haven't had anything to eat yet, which is so unlike me....but work was busy all morning.  Now that I have a second to breathe the hunger has set in.

I am thinking..about how sad I am that Abby is no longer going to be hosting Just Thursday.

At the moment, I am thankful..that lunch is on the way.

I am going..to inhale my Gnocci and Meatball as soon as my coworker returns with it :-)

I am wearing..dark brown dress paints, a dark brown lace cami, and a light brown/beigeish sweater.

I wish..I had a money tree...one that would be in FULL bloom this time of year.

I am reading..well...I have a few books and magazines sitting on my counter that I haven't opened.  Does that count as reading?

I am working on..getting the docket together for Monday & Tuesday's court sessions.

I am hoping..for a relaxing weekend.

I am hearing..the radio and the time stamp machine clicking every few minutes.

I bet you didn't know..I still haven't quit smoking...and I still haven't started on my Chantix.  I have the script filled...it's just waiting for me to start taking it.

One of my favorite..days of the year is the day after Thanksgiving.  I decorate the house for Christmas that day.  I can't wait to decorate this year with the fellas.  They are really going to get a kick out of it this year.

Weekend Plans..

[Thursday] We are celebrating my nephews birthday at my house tonight.  I'll have to run home and start building pizzas right away as I have four to make.
[Friday] No plans.  Probably hang with my sister and after the kiddos go to bed, do her nails.
[Saturday] Nothing planned.  Probably hang with the fellas, clean, and grocery shop.
[Sunday] Taking the fellas to some sort of a train show my husband heard about.  I'm thinking it's model trains.  The boys will love it...and it will be a couple hours of FREE entertainment....my favorite!

Join the fun!

Just Thursday ~ November 4, 2010

Outside my window..I'm at work, so no windows looking outside except into the hallway.  We don't open our window until 9am so the blinds are closed.  Therefore I do not see anything out my window :-)  Outside though, it is cold, and rainy.

The time is..8:13am

Today I feel..good.  

I am thinking..about how I lost 2.5 pounds this week, and that last nights Raspberry Cream Cheese Brownie I ate that my mom made, is not going to bode well with next weeks weigh in.

At the moment, I am thankful..that my house has remained clean all week.  Toys have been picked up, and kitchen sink has been empty the last few days I've gotten home from work.  You have no idea how happy that makes me.

I am going..to (hopefully) go to Kohl's on my lunch.  I have a few returns, a coupon, and Kohl's cash to spend.  Hello Christmas presents!! 

I am wearing..black pin-striped dress pants, a gray three quarter length sweater, and one of my favorite long necklaces.

I wish..Christmas wasn't so out of control.

I am reading..Uncharted TerriTORI, by Tori Spelling

I am working on..losing weight.  I would LOVE to lose 35 pounds, but will be happy to lose 25. (Same as last week!)

I am hoping..Find some good deals at Kohl's today.

I am hearing..the radio in my office playing Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville.  Makes me think of my dad.  He loves Jimmy Buffet.  During the summer, when we are all outside hanging by the pool, Jimmy Buffet is usually being piped through the out door speakers.

I bet you didn't know..that my husband has two sisters and a brother, and that his mom had is older sister when she was sixteen.  My husband is second oldest.  His parents were married that young and are still together to this day.  I admire the relationship they have.  You can tell just by observing them, that they are still in love and adore each other.

One of my favorite..days of the week is Thursday.

Weekend Plans.. 

[Thursday] Work & our weekly pizza night!

[Friday] Work & I have no idea what else.

[Saturday] The usual, grocery shop, clean, play!

[Sunday] Relax at home and then go to a birthday party to celebrate two special ladies' birthdays.

How is your day going?  What do you have planned this weekend?  Be sure to visit Abby and let everyone know!

Just Thursday ~ October 7, 2010

Outside my window..it has finally stopped raining after several days.  The sun is supposed to make an appearance...I can't wait to see it.

The time is..8:19am

Today I feel..stressed.

I am thinking.. about how my new job and my new (lesser) salary is starting to catch up with me.  It's been a battle of robbing Peter to pay Paul these days.  Wondering how I can fix it.  I wish I could find some part time work I could do from home after the kids go to bed.  I wish I could really grow a photography business, but without the capital to start it up and the lack of time since my husband works so much, it's a no go.

At the moment, I am thankful.. that I have a job to pay those bills, even if it's a struggle.

I am going..away on Sunday for work, and will not be home until next Wednesday.  I am really nervous and worried about leaving my children.  They will be home with dad on Sunday, then Monday and Tuesday they will be home with Dad during the day like normal, then go to my sister's when the hubs goes to work.  My sister will then bring them home and put them to bed until my husband gets home from work.  He's going to take 1/2 days on Monday and Tuesday so my sister doesn't have to be there until 2:00 in the morning. 

I am wearing..black dress pants and a peacock blue sweater.

I wish..I didn't have to stress about money.  It is really consuming my thoughts lately, and I don't know what to do about it. 

I am reading..nothing at the moment.  I really should read Dave Ramsey's The Total Money Makeover.  I have a couple of gift cards for Amazon thanks to Swagbucks...maybe I should order it.

I am working on..nothing.  I have bags and bins of children's clothes that I need to sell.  And a basement filled with toys.  I have lacked the motivation to sell them.  It's just so much work.  I know that if I get moving I could make some extra money.  Does anyone have any ideas as to how to make money off of these items in the easiest possible manner?

I am hoping..my husband has a good time with the boys while I am away.  I am worried that instead of having fun, he will be stressed out.  I am really afraid to call him while I am away and hear the stress and miserableness in his voice because it is going to make me want to go home.

I am hearing..the radio on low in my office and that's it.  It's quiet and I like it.

I bet you didn't know..that Halloween is the second most commercially successful holiday with Christmas being the first.

One of my favorite..holidays is Halloween.

Weekend Plans.. 

[Thursday] Pizza Night

[Friday] It's Fishing Weekend at my Fairy Godmother's family's lake front compound.  The boys and I are going to go visit and play.

[Saturday] Hair appointment, groceries, Fishing Weekend, pack for my trip.

[Sunday] I have to leave by 9:30am for my work trip.  Then the 4-5 hour long drive.  I'm looking forward to the peace and quiet of that drive.

What's going on in your neck of the woods this Thursday?  I would love to know.  Be sure to visit Abby and link up.

Just Thursday ~ September 2, 2010

Outside my window.. it's dark and muggy outside. 

The time is.. 9:10pm Wednesday (I'm cheating and writing my post the night before)

Today I feel.. full and sleepy.  Had Gnocci for lunch and I've been in a Gnocci Coma ever since.

I am thinking.. The weekend.  It's hubby's birthday weekend.  I am broke and have no clue what to do about that and his birthday gift or lack of one.  I feel horrible...he bought me a convertable for our anniversary and I don't even have the funds to buy him a cheap gift. 

At the moment, I am thankful.. that it's almost time to go to bed.  I've been extra tired lately.

I am going.. to bed soon.

I am wearing.. knee length shorts and a tank top.  It's been super hot this week.  I HATE shorts as I HATE my legs, but becuase of the temperature I really don't have a choice.

I wish.. I could buy my husband a Netbook for his birthday.  He has been ogling over them for a few weeks now.

I am reading.. This Family of Mine by, Victoria
Gotti.

I am working on.. nothing really.

I am hoping.. for a small miracle. 

I am hearing.. the boys chatting & playing in their cribs when they should be sleeping and HGTV.  There's nothing good on tonight and no shows recorded on my DVR list.  Makes for a boring night.

Around the house.. it's clean.  I'm looking at our old smelly dog asleep on the floor at my feet.

I bet you didn't know.. that I am still carrying around 30lbs. of pregnancy weight.  The boys are almost 2.5 years old so I really can't blame it on them anymore.  I know I need to exercise and eat healthy.  I have the healthy part down somewhat, it's the exercise I just can't get motivated to do.  Oh, and eating those new Cheeseburger Combos a bit ago isn't helping matters much.  Have y'all tried those things?  Y-U-M-M-Y!

One of my favorite.. beverages is Diet Dr. Pepper.  I could drink this stuff all.day.long.  I finally put an end to buying soda for the house because that was all I would drink.  So unhealthy.

My weekend plans include.. going out to dinner with the hubs Friday for his birthday.  Saturday the weather is supposed to be horrible, dropping into the 60's and rain, so I'm going to make sauce and let it simmer all day, perfect yucky weather food.  Sunday we are going to a Clam Bake with friends.  These are our friends that have children so I'm looking forward to hanging out with other moms who know how it is.  I'm sure us moms won't have a chance to talk as we'll be chasing our children while the husbands get to hang out, have guy talk, and not notice what their kids are doing.  Monday we have nothing planned, we are contemplating taking the kids to the beach.

How is YOUR Thursday? I'd really like to know.  Click on over to Abby's place to share.

P.S.  It has taken me an hour to write this simple post as my children are boycotting bed time and keep throwing things out of their cribs, needing their binkies, needing their blankets, needing their lambies and monkeys, and on and on and on.  I am listening to Marcus whine right now and wonder if I should just ignore him until he falls asleep or if he really needs me.  Ok, he's quiet now, please pray it lasts.

Nope, he's whining again.

Ok, it's quiet again.

Nope, there he goes.

Ok, now he's quiet but he's playing with Scout.  That's ok, as long as he's not whining.

Ok, I'm signing off now.

Nighty night, or Good Morning...since I'm scheduling this to post Thursday morning :-)

Ramble much?

P.P.S.  He's asleep now.
