MONDAY .....

Yeeeea, it's Monday again..... but hey, atleast it is sunny here - so that is always a plus !!!!

Yesterday, I actually pryed myself away from the computer long enough to get a few things done. I got like this wild burst of energy and used it to my advantage. I cleaned and scrubbed the kitchen and the downstairs bathroom. Then I made dinner, and while that was cooking I managed to get upstairs to start plundering through the mess the kids call thier rooms. I already got one box and bag of what I call crap together. I am hopeing to get more done today.

After that, I cleaned out our gross fishtank, it had been awhile since I had done anything with it - and since our fish froze over the winter, it had gotten just plain nasty. So having that finally done, I then decided I will buy two more fish on payday. At one time we used to have sharks and big fishes and a bunch of little fish, but my favorites were the Pink Gorami's --- for some reason they always kept my tank super clean of the dumb algae that would grow.... plus since they are called the kissing fish .... they are pretty cool to watch too.

I also managed to vacuum the livingroom last night, as well as get a ton of laundry done and collect all the garbage to go today ..... that was so nice ! Can you believe I actually got a shower in too - holy cow !.... thus, it wasn't without interruption. :O(  Oh well, guess everything can't be perfect all the time.

So today the sun is shining, that always gets me motivated - but Gracie is in an odd mood. She is just cranky about everything .. she gets mad at her toys, and she gets mad cause she can't turn over when she wants to... she gets mad if you don't pick her up, she gets mad if you do - then set her down ... she gets mad that she can't sit up on her own yet. Wow I have never had a child so decisive about EVERYTHING already.  I have tried everything  and yes, tried one of those sling pouches too, but she even gets mad at that ! All she wants to do is sit on my lap.

So I am going to try to take a walk in a little bit, it is something different. Hopefully she'll be quiet. I know Cameron will enjoy it though and now that there is no mud anywhere - I can use my new stroller outdoors now. (yes, I am super anal about ruining new things) THEN - after the walk we will hopefully come in, eat lunch then TRY to get upstairs ... if not, guess I'll be back here again.

I thought I'd have loads of blogs to catch up on here, but actually only a few - so for once I am not behind. I guess you know when it's nice out - no one is around !! LOL.

Well - I'm off to go about my day ... hope you all have a good one, thinking about you guys tons !!!!!

TAMMIE :o)
