Beginning

So it's Memorial Day weekend along with graduation. I only have one party to go to this weekend, but my daughter has more. And then we have to fit my other daughter's birthday with the family in there before my son has surgery on his wisdom teeth because to have it after would be cruel and unusual punishment.

I hate to admit the last few days of eating when I don't need to, but I think it's important to be honest. I can blame it on my period, I can blame it on stress, but the fact of the matter is that I really didn't need to eat most of the junk I've been eating. I know it makes me feel horrible afterwards but I have to come up with the mindset to stop myself before I start.

The end of school is in sight! Less than a dozen days and so much to do, then there's a week off before summer school starts. I'm feeling a little more driven to exercise again, but that may just be the nice weather talking. Once it gets hot I may change my view.

So the birthday picnic/camping Friday night was a hit...except I only got an hour of sleep because I had to be the watchful adult and the boys didn't leave until almost 3:30am! Then my niece slept over Saturday night, but I slept so hard that night I didn't even move! Had to get up early Sunday so my sister could pick her up, then watched the Syttende Mai parade that afternoon. And today I'm working a regional track meet! I keep telling myself things will slow down soon an

Another busy night going directly from regular work to working a track meet to an orchestra concert. On the plus side, I don't have waste a lot of gas because it's all in one place, but then the kids are going to have to be on their own to get supper at the concession stand, changing into nice clothes, and getting to the concert. Hopefully the homework load is light so we don't have to stay up late to do it.

Mammogram time again. So I had the morning off of work and things went well. I even had time to set up my son's widsom teeth removal. Things are settling in place and I'm not feeling quite as frazzled as I have been lately...which means I probably am missing something.

I think one of the reasons I'm so bad at logging my food is that I eat such weird combinations that it takes so long to log every little thing. Take today for instance. I have a container with several small amounts leftovers such as rice, tater tots, and roasted potatoes. But none of them is a serving size. I'm not even sure how much there is of each because I dump them all together.

Had a great day yesterday being lazy. I worked hard Saturday with laundry and vaccuming so I could take Mother's Day off. I didn't get to go to the movies like I wanted, but after church and Sunday School (last day for the summer!), I spent time with my youngest playing Sims and reading Hunger Games (some of it out in the sunshine on the deck). On the downside, I didn't do any exercising, so now have to play catch up. But since my youngest is starting after school reading three

Wouldn't it be great to have a pause button to stop life for just a bit to catch your breath? Everything is speeding up for the end of the school year and I always feel like I'm playing catch up or have forgotten to do something. Lists are helping (if I get around to looking at them) but I'm almost to the point where I want to "forget" some obligations just so I can take a breather.

Another day where everyone is headed in separate directions with only two vehicles. Sounds like supper is another optional free-for-all and no time for walking again. It's going to take some creative timing to get everything in as it is.
