November Fourteenth...


Waiting for the pizzas to finish cooking... the beans for the dip are simmering on the stove... Saturday is coming to an end and back to work tomorrow... a full 40 hours this week... makes for long days... I know, I know... I'm just spoiled with my six hour days... still have to come home and be the mom too...
Been a quiet day today... son3 is feeling better... no throwing up, drinking fluids and says he wants pizza, although he hasn't had any food yet... son1 worked this morning and isn't home yet... son2 has been lazy all day on facebook... his report card came today... not pretty at all... he of course has all the answers and refuses to change his ways to try our way since obviously his way isn't working... four D's, two C's, one B and one A in computers 2...
I've done dishes, tons of laundry, worked on the computer, barely any facebook for me today, ordered some Christmas from CurrentCatalog and made brownies... Hubby has begun setting up the Christmas decorations in the house... Garland and lights all around the family room... and I put snowmen all over the entertainment center...
Lots of shows from the week to watch that we taped... think we will start with Castle and Supernatural... Pizza is just about ready... the sun has set and need to close the blinds...
Happy Journaling...

Friday the Thirteenth...


I always embrace Friday the 13th! It's a spooky day not an unlucky day...
I am home from work early today... son3 has been throwing up since 3am, so no school for him today... hubby is off on Friday so I didn't need to call out of work but I did ask to work a half day so I could reprieve hubby and he could get his errands done... plus the house is now in need of delousing... and lots of laundry to do... at work I just needed to count the men's shoes for the weekly count... they accidentally counted the athletics yesterday...
I am eager to get the Christmas shopping started but haven't had a chance yet...
It so does not seem that it is Christmas time already... how can it be November already when it was just August... I'm getting in the spirit but seems we are doing it the wrong month, lol.... I want hubby to start putting up the decorations in the house...
Son3 is sleeping and the dryer is buzzing so I should get busy on that delousing...
Be sure to visit The Motivation Station today as there is a surprise give away!!!
Happy Journaling...

November Twelfth


I always dread going to work on Thursdays... maybe cause Wednesday is my day off and I just don't want to go back to work... or cause usually we don't have as much coverage on Thursdays... but I always end up having a good day... go figure... today went really quick... I worked athletic clearance, went to lunch and stocked the women's athletic shoes... tomorrow I go in early and get off early...
now it's 8pm already and all I've done is come home, do my 100 crunches, heat up leftovers, eat dinner and here I am....
we had rain today! last week the weatherman said rain on Wednesday this week... then this week they said rain Thursday and Saturday... then this morning they showed no rain all week..., I went to lunch and discovered it was pouring outside... lol....
Bones has started and I'm missing it... I still have to get a tape ready to tape Supernatural and the sink has dirty dishes in it...
Happy Journaling... :)

November Eleventh


I have just a few minutes til Glee comes on and I settle in for the night... Had a nice day off with the boys today... They slept in, I had quiet time... Got lots of paper filing and list making done today... didn't go on facebook even once... yay me... I missed it but it will still be there tomorrow and I was less stressed getting things done instead of playing on facebook... Son2 went with son1 to get his car insurance... then son1 was off to see girlfriend... son2 was on the computer and then went off with his friends... son3 was a computer game guy all day... well they did do their homework this morning when they first got up so they could have computer privileges... I watched an episode of Emergency while paying bills and filing papers... Hubby, I and son3 went to the grocery store when hubby got home from work... got groceries and all the fixings for Thanksgiving and deli chicken family pac for dinner.... and chocolate cream pie for dessert... I'll have some while I'm watching Glee... I finished washing all son1's bedding from when he was sick and a load of work clothes for me and hubby... still have a sink full of dishes but don't feel like emptying the dishwasher, that's my least favorite part, don't mind filling it... I also wanted to clean out son3's long sleeve shirts but ran out of time... Don't forget to visit The Motivation Station tomorrow as it's my day to host... I'm off to find jammies, watch Glee and have pie... Ok now I'm off... laptop lost connection so I am now on the main computer... put the laptop to sleep for the night...
Happy Journaling...

November Tenth...


Another easy day at work.... I worked on men's clearance, went to lunch and then opened boxes til 5pm...
Came home and hubby had made lasagna... we're trying something new... I leave him a note of the main thing to fix for dinner and then I just have to finish up with the sides when I get home... no school tomorrow but still had homework but hubby only had him do half and then I'll finish up with him tomorrow... another 100% on his reading test today...
Son1 went back to work today... he was feeling better all around today... he's working on a payment plan with the guy he owes money to for the car... he also has a fix it ticket/court date that caught up with him that we are working on a plan for... always something... one more thing...
But now we are all getting ready for bed for sleeping... I'm tired and this getting dark early is not helping... just want to crawl into my flannel sheets and big comforter and sleep and sleep and sleep...
Tomorrow all the boys have the day off except for hubby... I'm off too....
I want to work on Motivation Station Stuff and Christmas stuff and bill paying/paper pile stuff, blog reading stuff, making lists stuff and all kinds of stuff...
But for now I am in my comfy bed watching Dancing With the Stars and then Numbers with hubby...

November Ninth...


It's chilly in here.... that's a good thing... no air conditioner... had to turn the heater on yesterday though... it's 70 but feels cooler... 55 outside...
Quick day at work today... opened boxes and helped the associates now on commission learn how to use the registers...
son1 called out of work today... he and girlfriend went to Red Robin last night, came back to watch TV and then son1 was throwing up til this morning... he kept down some oatmeal and juice but still has a tummy ache... everyone at his work has been sick and he had a stressful weekend so think everything just caught up with him... don't think girlfriend got sick...
Hubby is teaching son2 and son3 how to play chess... son3 is catching on quite quickly...
We had chicken quesadillas for dinner... kitchen is all cleaned up... garbage totes put out... I had big plans to get more done but I'm tired and getting a headache... so as soon as son3 is done with his chess game gonna read with him and then get him in bed... meanwhile I just remembered I was at a good part in my book so gonna read a bit while waiting for Castle to come on....
