HAPPY MONDAY !

Hello everyone, and good Monday morning to ya' !

My start to today was a little odd, I'm up early (for me) but hopefully it will be a good day. I haven't seen very many people around at all here this last weekend, so hopefully you all had some good weather and got to enjoy it. It is nice to know that thier will be more days like that around now !

Well, Like I said my Monday started out weird - the electricty cut off several times last night, so no ones alarm clock went off, causing everyone to be late for school as obviously they had already missed the bus. So since I needed the van today anyway - I had to get up and make sure we all got ready and could all get out the door as promptly as possible.

We had to take A to work then I dropped the kids at school. I have to go pay some bills today and schedule some appointments for the doctor, dentist and optometrist. Jordan has an appointment to get a mole on his back removed later this week, but I can't remember what day - so I have to go find that out as well .....  Seems I have been pretty forgetful lately.

The weekend was ok here - but I remained pretty busy throughout. I tried to get out and enjoy the warmer temps as much as I could .... and oh, it felt so good ! LOL ! I did manage to get some of the yard stuff cleaned up and the Christmas stuff down that I had left up. I got all the grocery shopping done and usually it takes me forever to get going on that, but the nice weather boosted me to get moving - I think. We got some of the garage clean, but there is alot more to clean yet ... seems like every winter the garage becomes the haven for lets just throw it and forget it till it gets warm ... LOL ! Sunday was A's birthday so we went out to eat at the Olive Garden which was nice. I finally got all my 360 blogs imported over here - which I was happy about - but I seriously think I am going to re set my stuff here for contacts only (I have it on friends of friends right now)... SO if you are reading this and you are not my contact, but would like to have me add you or you maybe want to invite me - please do let me know. I would like to keep in touch with all of you I have been meeting.

I still have laundry to do today, I would really like to get all the sheets to the wash and clean up all the extra winter blankets that are usually tucked away. ... So here's hoping. The weather here today isn't as nice as yesterday's was... it was about 68 (so it said) here yesterday, but today it says it is 34 and spitting snow - talk about weird ! So a little bit of a "rainy day feeling" going on here right now - like you just wanna go curl back up under the covers and stay warm or something. Gracie is sleeping right now pretty sound and although I should be up doing something, I am feeling a bit more like taking a nap at the moment instead. It is still early for me ... lol ... I usually get up around 10 or so.

Today I officially start my "diet". I plan on walking more often now and anticipate / hope to lose 20 - 30 pounds before the benefit. I need to do this for me tho and I know it will help me feel better too. I did weigh myself this morning and I weighed in at 164 ... WOO HOO ! It was much less than I thought it was going to say ! It is 'weigh' more than I want - but yet still good that it wasn't as bad as I thought ! LOL :o)

Well, I think I am going to rest my head for a few, whilst Gracie sleeps ~ then I have to go out and do my running. HAVE A GOOD MONDAY EVERYONE !!!!

TAMMIE :o)
