September Sixteenth

Listen… do you hear that… it is complete silence… well except for the whir of the washer and the plane that is flying by…

I am off today and home alone well except for son2 who is still asleep and off too but will get up who knows when…

Hubby is off at work for more training… he is just finishing up his computer training and will be having register/floor training today… Except for the computer training he will get through the floor training quicker as he has over thirteen years of experience in the job, just needs to learn their procedures and equipment…

Son3 is off at school… He was concerned as his white sneakers were not clean and his hair was poofy… and that he needed a haircut… he also had to cut his nails as he forgot to last night… I told him and what did you do all weekend except play games… weekends are also for getting ready for the week of school, don’t ya know… he has violin after school today for the first time, so hopefully he will bring home information of what all exactly it involves…

I will be off and on the blog all day as I make a plan of how to get this house completely in order day by day now that hubby is back at work…

I have been doing laundry, washing dishes, cleaning up the donations and getting it all boxed up for hubby to take in, washing TV trays, vacuuming, put up a few fall decorations, got some treats ready for the trick or treaters… Only 45 days til Halloween… Son2 got up at 10:30am… I wrote in my calendar/agenda to start planning my daily attack of the house…

Hubby is home from work now… and having lunch… the noise level has now gone up as he and son2 can’t talk to each other quietly and they push each others buttons and each must be right on conversations… they are so much alike…

Heating up leftovers for dinner once again, plus the leftover hotdogs and adding chicken patties to make sandwiches out of…

Son3 came home from school on time… he went to the class for the Strings/Violin that he had signed up for and they needed the packet he didn’t see to pick up when he signed up… I asked him all last week if he needed a permission slip… even the web site said nothing about a permission slip or packet… and yet the math tutoring mentioned a permission slip several times… they said he could bring it tomorrow but he told them it was already too confusing and that he had changed his mind… he also didn’t like the fact that it started almost an hour after school let out so the kids could do their homework while they waited… so just the chess club for him so far this year… I don’t mind as he needs all the time he can get to do his homework… which he has finished his algebra homework and I have checked it for him…

Son2 has two tests tomorrow and has yet to study and he has been off for four days… he says he still has time…

We put son3’s fish in with son2’s fish since his tank is bigger and has a filter… son3’s tank was already getting a bit murky… son2’s fish were so excited to see son3’s fish that they kept chasing them around and nipping them in play… they all are settled in now… son2 wants to get one more like son3’s fish and then there will be an even ten…

I also made a carrot cake to go with my ice cream later…

I have started my ‘diet’ again today… it will be a process wrapping my mind around eating again… Since becoming a supervisor I have gained back 17 of the 33 pounds I lost when hubby first lost his job… so to celebrate him getting a job, and my being an associate again without stress, I will be losing again… today’s goal was to not eat any tortilla chips… they are my downfall and very filling… and I did not eat any today… I did have corn flakes, mini tacos, an apple and some grapes… the goal for the rest of the week will be no tortilla chips and no seconds at dinner… When I first lost the weight it was all about the portions… I allowed myself ice cream and everything, but I could only have one or enough for one person… I am only one person and must eat as one person… so first goal to get past is eating seconds at meal time… I also bought my diet green tea pills… I had switched to regular herbal/vitamin green pills and I can tell that they are different in addition to eating too much…

Time for dinner… and Bones and Sleepy Hollow have their season premiers tonight… Plus Under the Dome comes on but I don’t think I will make it to 10pm as I have to be up at 4:30am… must save something on the DVR to watch in between season premiers…

Pictures of the day below…

The last of the boxes of son3’s room that son2 needs to go through to make sure there are not toys that he wants to keep and then I am going to go through them to see what I can use for the trick or treaters… for example all the plastic toy animals/dinosaurs/fish… the bowl ready with last years leftover treats…
