Gooood Morning my lovelies ! :O)
1) Ugh. I am up a bit later than I wanted to be today. Even still my stoopid Cat Smokey Bones woke me up, sitting on my chest .. meow, meow, MEOW ! IDIOT !
2) I am popping tylenol like candy today ... I tend to get over obsessive about things when I want them done right and, ummm, I think I did just that. I am sooo sore ! I ended up walking 3 miles yesterday evening and doing 100 sit ups. I was kind of upset - A had to work late so, I didn't get to the gym, but I will go today.
3) I totally am loving this motivation. I know alot of it comes from watching all of the swimming stuff again. I totally love swimming. I haven't seemed to be able to catch the diving tho ... my fave part of all ! Dammit !
4) UGH --- I have a very very very hard decision to make. Brittanys dance teacher has informed me of her ever increasing rates. Rates I CANNOT afford anymore. Brittany has been in dance since she was 2 and a half .. how can I just tell her she can't go anymore, she IS dance, her whole existance has been dance. Sure, she has summers off, but he school years have always been dance filled. I don't know what to do.
5) This especially bothers me, because I know how I felt when swimming was taken from me. :O(
6) I am going to make myself productive today and paint a wall that is ugly and that has always annoyed me ! It is ugly ass 1970 or whatever paneling and I hate it. It is only a small wall going upstairs, but I know it will look tons better, I bought a sponge and plan to sponge paint it.
7) *SIGH* I can just tell .... fall isn't far. The fall smell is in the air ! I have been seeing the squirrels burrying thier little goodies and the corn is starting to turn yellow. Just a matter of time. I always get depressed when winter gets here... and I am SOOOOOO not looking forward to the holidays ! I really need to find some things to look forward to this winter to keep me out of depression !
8) I guess I AM kinda looking forward to taking Brittany to the Mall of America on the 22nd or 23rd .... I think it will give us good time to hang out and laugh.... she and I have gotten so close, it is almost just like hanging with a friend, cept' she still calls me Mommy.
9) Crap ! Ha ha .. The kids toilet is broken upstairs. WTH? This is like the second time... How do you break a toilet ? I might just be the innerds, but I have to have A look at it, I dunno much about commodes, I just sit on them !
10) And don't ask me HOW theY manage it, but I did two laods of laundry yesterday and again this morning the baskets are full ?!?!?!?!? I think something funny is going on here ! Wait... that ISN'T funny !
Well, looks like rain here, so I gotta go feed the cats outside and walk down to the mail box and get the mail. I hope I can get my walk in today, but if not, I suppose I will dosomething inside to help ! Hope all of you have a great day today !!!
TAMMIE :o)
You are doing great at sticking to your workouts! Good job! :)
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you have a choice to make about the dance class. Things are just getting more and more expensive everywhere!
Good for you for keeping up on the excerzise:)
ReplyDeleteSorry about Britney and the dance thing:( Maybe you can find some place less expencive?
I smell fall coming earlier than normal too:)
Have fun at MOA! :)
Just reading about all your exercise makes me tired!! But good for you for sticking to it!!
ReplyDeleteHow old is Britney? Maybe you can talk to the teacher about her helping in the younger class, like an aide or something, and have her take $$ off the tuition in return. I know Mad's dance teacher does that with the older girls, maybe if you tell her the situation, she can help figure something out?!
As for School shopping, we did quite a bit yesterday, but still have a bit more to do...Next monday school starts!!!
Brittany will be 15 in November.
ReplyDeleteWe've already asked that - she keeps it for the kids who deserve it - or so she says ... she is not a very nice lady.. and doesn't care all to much for Britt. So maybe it is for the best. I don't know. I want to take her to another place - but then gas price is an issue too. It just sucks.
That's great that you are keeping up walking. Hope it doesn't rain so you can get another walk in. Sorry about the dance class increase. Mall of America sounds so fun. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a little fall like around here ..especially this past weekend...but today summer has returned and it's nice and toasty and sunny out. I love fall..but it's short lived and that bastard winter is around the corner. Grrrrr! Ugh..I'm sorry about her dance classes...it's so hard to tell your kids we can't afford something. Maybe something can be cut back on or like someone already mentioned..find somewhere cheaper. Would she let you pay in installments..explain the situation ..maybe she'll work with you. Good luck..money is truly the root of all evil!
ReplyDeleteMy cats keep me awake some nights too!..lol..I have 4 kittens at the moment and they like to pulsate and play in my hair and lick me in the face all night! ..ughhh!..LOL Sounds like ur doing really good w/the excercises. That sux about Brittneys Dance! I know whatcha mean..my Brother-in-Law had to take his daughter out of Gymnastics..she was in that and Volley ball ..and she had to pick one..it was just getting too expensive..plus he has anouther child in sports too..so something had to go. I'd absolutely love to go to that Mall of America! I've seen it on TV..it looks awesome!!! Girl..I am so ready Fall!..lol..but I can totally understand why you're not!..lol Hey..we finally found a house yesturday that we really really like! It's in the area I want..my price range..etc..and I luv the house!so we'll see! I'll letcha know what happens! Well enjoy the rest of your day! ttyl! HUGS!
ReplyDelete100 situps? You go girl! I did 40 the other night and that was tough. I used to do 80 but have only done crunches for the longest time!
ReplyDeleteCool that you are painting today! I love how paint can make such a big difference!
Brittany and dance...hmmm that's a hard one. We want to give our kids so many opportunities and its stinks that its costing so much. Doesnt seem fair that they have to raise the rates! They wont work with you at all? I wonder if there is a cheaper place in town. Maybe a new one thats opened up or something that is still close by...Good luck in trying to figure something out. I know how ya feel.
Sorry about the broken potty...always sumpin...
Have a good afternoon!
oh, I hope you get something figured out with Brittany and the dance classes. Good luck with that. Don't give up immediately, something can still come up!
ReplyDeleteStill walking and doing situps? Awesome!! You keep this up and I might be inspired to start! LOLOL I'm doing the whole "as soon as schools starts I'm going to start again" bit..... I'm so bad.....
Tammie my dear, I totally understand about winter. I'm in central Illinois ( I know you asked about that before, sorry I didn't get back with you on it) I swear last winter lasted forever. I love fall but I don't like being trapped in the house with all these daycare kids all winter long & I really hate to scoop snow!
ReplyDeleteOK, I have to think about something not winter. I hope your day was wonderful!
All that walking - you're gonna be in the next olympics!
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with watching...esp swimming and gymnastics!
You are doing great on the workouts!!! I'm sure it helps you clear you head, whilst getting you fit and fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish Fall would be on it's way here.. it's still so damn hot and we have months of this left!!
"The fall smell is in the air !" Oh! I miss that smell! It is my favorite smeel! Can you bottle it up and send it my way?
ReplyDeleteCan you ask the studio about scholarships for Brittany's dance stuff? I thought Ave wouldn't be able to play Tball last season but when I told the director, he told me they hold aside special scholarships for the kids and let Avery play for free! So who knows, maybe she could get a scholarship? Fingers crossed!
Good job on the exercising!
I hear ya about the aches and pains. Tuesday I was down all day too with my back. Sometimes I have an old injury that flairs up if I anger it and it can get so bad that walking is even an issue. : ( So I was with ya on the pain killers yesterday.
ReplyDeleteDid you catch the Men’s 4x200m Freestyle? Gosh, our team kicked butt! I watched it this morning, Wednesday, not sure when it airs there for ya.
That sucks about the increased costs in Brittany’s dance class. Perhaps you could talk to the teacher about it. Or have you looked around to see if another dance studio can beat her costs?
I laughed at your comment about how you don’t know about toilets…. you just sit on them. Loved it!
Sorry about your pains but your doing such a great job at it!!! Ugh on the increased cost of dance classes! I wanted to put the girls in this year but with money I don't think will be able too. It's very hard. Have you thought of looking into another dance studio that you could afford that way she can dance?? Oh that is so funny about the toliets! I would come look at it for you!! Mine were always breakign at the old house!! I love the fall but am not looking forward to the holidays with money being tight. How did the painitng go?? I think the trip with Brittany and you will be good!! I hope your Wednesday will be good!
ReplyDeleteGreat job keeping up with the exercising.
ReplyDeleteThat stinks about dance. Everything just costs so much money. Thankfully my boys don't do much because I couldn't afford it.
That will be nice for you and Brittany to hang out together. Some special bonding time.
that laundry pile never ends...
ReplyDeleteI hope Brittany can continue dance~maybe you can work something out with the teacher~that's tough..
Great on the exercising!
Yep ! Caught it last night here. Wooo hooo - yes, they did an awesome job !
ReplyDeleteTank you guys for your ideas ... I will mention them to her teacher or look for another ! Thank you .
ReplyDeleteI'll bottle you up some of the fall air..if you bottle me up your sun shine when winter hits here...deal? LOL
