Court I sure hope things turn around for you and start being a little smoother. Yesterday was a bummer day for me as well. I actually went to the gym OMG!! Yeah it was great...i enjoyed my quiet time there but then before I left I stepped on the scale. I knew I hadn't been doing so well but man I gained 8lbs. I'm actually glad I weighed because I need to see that and know that if I want to keep this off I need to stay active and eat better. Today has been a great day so far. I'm eating better and told hubby he's on Sadie duty for a bit tonight as I'm going to the gym again. Otherwise I'm working a 9.75 hr day. I was hoping to get to that movie this weekend but the big kids are spending the weekend with their dad so I guess not. Oh well we will get there. No big plans for the weekend just housework and resting. OH yes and the gym!!

So Jaime how was that date night? My day was pretty rough again yesterday although I did get to vent some & hopefully the conversation will end up being productive. Today is work, then the viewing & services for a coworker who passed last month. Tomorrow is some Christmas errands and perhaps some stuff with the girlies. The youngest has her soccer tournament, the oldest has plans with her boyfriend & friends, too much going on for their mom to figure out transportation so I volunteered to help out. Sunday will be packing up the rest of the condo & getting it into storage so that we can get ready for a renter. Prayers that we find one soon will be helpful. Hope you have a great one!!!!

Ahhh babysitters!!! We are lucky in the fact that we have 2 older kids...it's just finding time that neither one of us has anything going on and one of them can be here to watch her. 4 people working is hard to manage around the schedules. I love my quality time....and a nap is a great way to use it. Last night I laid down and read my book when Sadie was in bed and DH was gone...it was heaven. Oh yes and I did get my massage too yesterday.......Can i go again today????????? It was wonderful.

Want me & Hunter to come down there & hang out with Sadie?? Then you and your DH could go out, but you would have houseguests!!!
I have a sitter, but we do not use her often, I am just glad she is reasonably cheap & treats Hunter so well!!
Oh ya, in September his auntie & cousins picked him up & took him with to a birthday party. That was nice, but DH was working, and I got a nap in!!!! Talk about quality time by myself!!! ha ha

Court, I AM SO GLAD that you are feeling better!!!!! Yay for the gym, kicking in those endorphins & what-not!!!! Hope you have fun with your girlies and hubby this evening.

Since it is like 20 degress, DH & I will probably just go bowling & then out to dinner. I think our last 'adult time' was back in August, so we are definatley due!!! I am looking foward to it, for sure. I love my 2 year old, but sometimes I cannot have a thought, without being disrupted, hee hee. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, the joys of parenting!!

Hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

Today is work for me as well...I have my walking group for church after work this evening but it's cold and rainy so we're going for coffee instead. I am going to really push to make myself go to the gym after coffee though. I really need to get in the habit of going more often. I'm jealous, Jaime...I want a date with my hubby to go see the movie Fireproof...we so far haven't been able to get away when we have someone to watch Sadie. Hopefully this weekend maybe. Of course we can't plan anything on Sun though cuz football is on all day long and my hubby won't miss that God forbid.

Yesterday was better for me. After work I hit the mall with a friend & did some window shopping. Was really nice to have some me time. Today is work & our night with the girlies. I am sure we will be go go go all evening. Decided in order to make time for myself & the gym I would have to start going in the morning. So far so good, I have made it twice this week. Feels pretty good too. Hope you all have a great day.

Jaime, enjoy that date!!

Morning!! Sorry to hear you had a rough day yesterday....my hubby is never very understanding of those sorts of things either. Hopefully the extra sleep will help make today a much better day. I'm going for a massage at 5 this afternoon....I can't wait. I got this from Sadie for Mother's Day and am just now using it. Hubby has pool leagues tonight so it's just Sadie and I relaxing at home. I'm looking forward to getting some rest.....well as much rest as you can get with a 2 yr old.
