Lifes Like That

One of the things that I don’t like about Christmas is the fact that none of my regular shows air any new episodes during this time. For the past few days I have been watching re-runs of everything. Last night I was so desperate to watch something different that I actually watched a show on rv breakdowns. It wasn’t very interesting, but at least it was something different to watch. I can’t wait until the new year when new episodes of my shows start airing again. Until then, maybe I’ll just read a good book.

A couple of days ago my boss informed me that I would be able to have Christmas Eve and Boxing day off. This means that after tonight, I don’t have to go back to work until Sunday morning. This is wonderful. Not only does this mean that I will be able to spend some extra time with my family, but I will be able to finish all my computer work and house work as well. Who knows, maybe I’ll even have time to look up key man insurance as well. Well, I really don’t care how much I get accomplished. I’m just happy that I will have these few extra days off to spend with the family.

Well the flue has arrived at our house once again. This time it’s my husband who’s been home sick for the past three days. I will be so glad when all this cold and flue season is firmly behind us. So today instead of going out and purchasing bodybuilding supplements, I was out purchasing cold and flue medication. Now that I’m home and he’s got some of this medication in him, hopefully this will help him feel better. It really doesn’t matter if it’s my kids or my husband that is home sick. I worry about them all and really do feel bad for them while their going through this. Thankfully no one else in the house has caught this.

I’m really starting to get tired of doing all the housework around here. I’m not the only one who lives here, so why am I the only one who has to do all the work??? I have decided that my two little ones are getting old enough to start doing some chores around here. During their Christmas break I am going to start getting them to do the dishes. And I will also get them to start folding laundry. If I can get help with these two areas, then maybe I won’t mind doing all the other work quite so much. I don’t know how they are going to feel about these changes, but…. they are just going to have to get used to it. I’m just getting really tired of having to do it all myself.

Well, we didn’t get it! We didn’t get the big snowstorm that we were supposed to get and yes, the kids are in school today. We got some snow, wind and freezing rain, but it was nothing compared to what they had predicted. I was actually prepared for this big snow and it didn’t even happen. I had the humidifier filters ready, the generator all gassed up and plenty of groceries to do us for awhile. Thankfully I didn’t need to use any of this and will still have lots of stuff ready when these big snowstorms to eventually happen. But for now, life goes on as normal.

Well there is a major snowstorm headed our way tonight. The good news is that I don’t have to work tonight so I at least don’t have to go out in it. But it’s going to be bad. If we get what their calling for, there will be no school tomorrow for the children. Hopefully it doesn’t start until later tonight after we are all in the house for the night. Well, it’s that time of year so I guess we should be expecting things like this. This doesn’t mean that I have to like it.

So I’ve been steadily gaining back all the weight that I’ve lost over the past year or so. I am quite pleased with my progress. Instead of purchasing the best weight loss pills that I could find, I purchased some vitamins and this seems to have helped. I really hope I can continue this trend. I am five foot, one inch tall and only weighed 88 lbs. I am now up to 94 lbs. If I can get up to 110 lbs, I will be one happy lady. Only 16 lbs to go and I will finally be at my ideal weight.

Well I’m slowly getting all my holiday cleaning done. So far I’ve gotten two bedrooms and the living room done. I still have a lot of cleaning ahead of me, but I am making progress. Today I plan on cleaning our bedroom and doing the kitchen. Normally I put off the kitchen because there is so much cleaning to do in there. I have the glass tile, the stove, fridge and the walls to clean. This project will take me most of the day, but it has to get done. I have to get as much done today as I can as I have to work tomorrow and Sunday. So…. off I go.
