I titled this blog entry "Long Overdue" for many, many reasons! One, it's been quite a while since I have posted. I have "thought" about it several times, just never did. I'm not sure if it's laziness, intimidation that I'm not going to be as good of a writer as some other bloggers out there that I read religiously, or what....but lately I have just plained stunk at keeping this up to date. I've decided I'm going to start writing this for ME! A mama needs a place to brag and vent, especially when it seems like free/adult time is few and far between now that the girls are extremely busy.
Mainly, I am writing this because this has been one heck of a week! The list of why this has been such a stressful week is too long to type and get in to. There seems to be so much going on around me with family (will not disclose in case one of them reads this-HA), friends, work (typically I love my job but this week has felt two weeks long), my house being in disarray (which is about to drive me bonkers), lack of sleep (and even when I get a good nights sleep I am STILL feel freaking tired), an extra few pounds have slipped back on making my pants a tad too snug (yes, they are still too tight even after having the dreaded stomach bug!)....I'm pretty certain I could go on and on.
Enough with all the downders, a bit of good news....I get a FREE weekend!! Yes, that's right, a FREE weekend! And guess what this mama is gonna do? First I'm going to sleep in, although I'm sure I'll wake up at the crack of dawn because I have the world's smallest bladder, but I'm sure as heck going to MAKE myself go back to sleep at least until 9am!! I'm crossing my fingers my hubby goes hunting so I will have the bed ALL to myself! As much as I love to snuggle, I simply cannot sleep while he is sawing logs.
As nice as it sounds to veg all day, read and scrapbook, I must be realisitc and utilize my free time to it's fullest. I'll be cleaning, and I mean CLEANING the girls rooms!! I'm about to go ape-crazy with all the toys that they have and don't even play with half of them. Especially now that summer-time is upon us, we spend a majority of our time outside, which is ok with me! Between now and Saturday I'm going to have to have a pep-talk with my "inner hoarder". I have a hard time getting rid of stuff if it's in good shape, and I "think" we might use it someday. But this mama is on a mission, and my girls rooms WILL be cleaned from top to bottom this weekend!! It's time to whip our house into shape so someday in our near future when we decide to sell, hopefully it won't be near as bad packing all our stuff. I'm hoping by then I'll be able to afford movers....a girl can dream, right?
Well, here is to a productive weekend while the girls are away! Let's just hope I find my motivation, which might include a quick trip to Starbucks in my PJs.
