ToT
1. I so wish Eric and I could afford for me to stay home and not work. The kids are older and they really don’t need me home and I’m not the greatest home maker, but I really wish I could be a stay-at-home mom. I like my job for the most part but there are bits and people I just can’t stand and I would love to be home with the kids, especially over the summer.
2. The kids both had their first All-Star games tonight and neither one was any good. Both lost by slaughter rule, even though there wasn’t a slaughter rule in Brittany’s league. Pretty bad.
3. I’m not doing great with Lia Sophia, though I’m not really pushing it. I have to start doing that. I’m going to do a book party this month because they have a great monthly special.
4. Sometimes I wish I could be a better person. I’m pretty judgmental but I’m trying to get better at that. I find I’m better at it when it comes to some things but not everything and I need to work on that more.
5. I love the fact that our lives revolve around the kids and their sports but sometimes it gets tiring to come home for dinner at 8pm all the time and still have to make it. We need to find more low fat crock pot recipes I think…
6. I really want a burger. A good burger! Something with Swiss Cheese and mushrooms and onions and Ranch Dressing and just dripping with grease. I really have to stop watching Food Network!
7. We need a new fridge. The one we have wasn’t great when we brought it with us. Zac had broken a shelf when we moved out of Avon (by accident of course). It’s missing the railing parts on the doors. It just kind of a mess. Just can’t afford it right now though. Maybe with our next quarterly bonus but we still need to really save for Disney. It’s 115 days away!
8. Speaking of Disney, I can’t wait to go. I’m hoping to get out of there as cheaply as possible, but I’m not sure. We should be able to get away fairly cheaply, as the food is all paid for and the parks are all paid for. Still owe Mom and Dad a boat load of money though.
9. I’m looking around for things to write about because it was a little harder to write this one. I want to get back to sewing. Brittany and I need to both get back to it. She got a great sewing machine for Christmas and hasn’t used it much. We have to go shopping and get a pattern and some fabric and make something simple for Florida. Maybe a bag or something.
10. I know I wrote about this last Tuesday also, but I’m feeling pretty fat. I came off the diet this weekend, partially because it was just easier and partially because I needed an indulgence (I’m a girl after all and once in awhile you need some chocolate and some salt) but I’m paying for it now. I have to go get a bathing suit and I have no desire to do that. I just don’t want to try them on. I apologize, but diet-wise, this might be one that is posted on all my ToT’s. Sorry.
Make a fun tote bag with Disney fabric! i can’t wait to go. We too are saving saving saving since we want to make the most of it sine we might not get to go again. You are at a cross road with the diet but you’ll get there if you stick with it. I can’t manage to get past a week of eating well and exercising.
