here's the one blog I missed a couple of weeks ago!

HI!! This is sorta fitting for my last blog for this week of procrastination!! I'm making up for a blog I'm behind on. Not sure how many weeks ago.. but I know I need one.. anyway, this next Thursday and Friday my kids don't have school.. and I have class on Thursday and it's a trip to the library.. so I'm kind of in a pickle with really not wanting to miss class so I talked with Mrs. Allard and decided to bring the kids with! Now this sounds like the easiest solution but at the same time makes me kind of nervous.. my kids are good but at the same time you just never know how they will act! A long with my 2, I will have a 3rd one with being I have an agreement with his mom that I take him on the days there's no school and during the summer and she takes my kids after school.. which works out great until it comes to when their days off intervene with my school days.. I'm calling it school shadowing instead of job shadowing. I think it'll be kind of fun for the kids to see what it's like to go to college and that its really not to much different than what they are doing, of course minus the type of homework! My kids are really excited to come with me, which I am too! So we'll see how it goes and maybe I'll write about it again next time. so now off to my weekend! bye for now!

procrastinating

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.... is a good way to start this one! I could probally take this one in so many directions.. But for today I'm writing about procrastination because I've been really good at it lately.. I know I have to be somewhere but instead of getting ready and then doing whatever it is I want to do, I do it the other way around and do what I want to get done first leaving me very little time to get ready to go to what I HAVE to do! I haven't figured out why I do this.. but lately it's starting to get annoying to me, never mind anyone that might be waiting for me! LOL drives my husband crazy, even though I hate to be late to things, I will put off until the very last minute to get it done.. for the most part I'm talking about having to be somewhere be it a family function or work or school.. as of lately I'm not sure if its because of the weather or lack of sleep, or how about a full moon? LOL! I could probally find just about any excuse right now.. I'm thinking thats not neccessarily any of those things and that I'm liking the challenge of time! So I do what I think I should get done around home or otherwise and then head to the shower to see if I can beat the clock and get done with my shower, make-up and hair, dressed, shoes on and out the door by the time I should be going out the door.. and if I can't make it in quite the right time frame then its a challenge with the things I can't control like time, traffic and other people. Why I do this to myself I'm still not sure because like a lot of other things there are way more fun ways to challenge ones self! I'm thinking it might be because I get an addrenal rush racing the things I can't control and defeating the odds that are naturally against you! I think after today I'm going to have to start rethinking a new way of challenging myself and start with a very small step of not procrastinating while the odds are still on my side!! Well for now that means getting some homework done before I head to my refresher first aid training for work. I hope anyone who is reading this has a great weekend!! til next time!

BRRR!

All I can say is BRRRR!! It's way to early to be this cold.. but I'm stubborn enough and I'm not turning the heat on yet! We do have a little electric fireplace that seems to doing great so far so that's helping out a lot.. This weekend we hung out at home and worked on the basement. Got the padding and the carpet laid down in the basement and the old big screen down there with a pompazan chair, turned out pretty good.. only one what I call down fall with the tv being a 53" big screen self contained my husband had to take out the bottom stairs and landing and put up a board up to slide the tv down to the basement which is okay if you're not afraid of falling in open holes like I am! I had to stand on the bottom step going upstairs and the threshold to the basement/garage door to help lift it over to the board to be lower to my husband who is standing in the basement.. Now I should of used this experience for my "out of the box" essay!! I'm totally not comfortable in that kind of situation, but all is good now. We did make it out of the house to go to a flea market in Viroqua, Its huge like rummage sale type place in a old tobacco barn, just as cold in there as it was outside but it was worth it.. I found a solid oak quilt rack for $30!! a steal! Well not much else to say for now, So til next time!

decorating.........

It's Sunday and I'm a couple days late with my blog this week.. so I'll have to do two of them.. We weren't home much this weekend not because of camping this week.. way to cold and rainy for that but because we were shopping for Halloween decorations for the house and some shopping for carpet to finish one side of the basement for a family/rec room.. I'm kind of excited about having another room for the kids to hang out in and play video games , watch movies etc.. and for me to have a place to put my elliptical so that I'll actually use it! unlike the treadmill I just sold! LOL mind you I just got my elliptical so I'll have to give you and update on that one later! Well this one is going to be short this time.. kids want to get out and decorate the house. We've slacked on that the last couple of years but now with them bigger and older to help out it's going to be a lot of fun! So til next time!!
