September Ninth

Today was a pretty good day but now I am grumpy… Everything and nothing, so it will probably pass…

We had a big visit at work on my two days off… The department looked great, why can’t we do that all the time and not just for visit… of course a lot of stuff was hidden and I will find it as I open boxes… I located a bunch of shoes into the stockroom today… went to lunch… sorted the signs for tomorrow’s ad… located more shoes into the stockroom… covered the sales floor while the other associate went to lunch… located more shoes into the stockroom… I got over 18,000 steps on the pedometer at work today…

Came home and became grumpy… think I am just tired… trying not to be grumpy with hubby…. but…… once home did homework with son3… math page and spelling words… and write a paragraph… and then I made dinner too… hmmm didn’t I just work all day… and hubby was on the computer playing… checked email for job alerts… since grumpy with hubby didn’t talk to him about what job searching he did today… I noticed he did some more yard work… and he went to Target to pick up a few essential items we needed like toilet paper but he bought the wrong kind… he didn’t open the windows back up when he got home or turn on the fans, so when I got home I was fixing them since it was 76 degrees outside and 78 in the house… he did do the dishes after dinner while I was studying spelling words with son3… I was trying to play a few games at facebook but my laptop kept freezing up…

Son1 is now home after 8pm and filling out an application for his old job at Cycle Gear to have a part time job with his full time job…

I’m ready for bed… early to work tomorrow to set the ad…

Son3 is looking at his Lego catalog and dreaming about everything he wants to buy when hubby finds a job… and keeps saying, oh yeah no talking about shopping… ya think…

Hubby is watching Bones repeat on TV… I should watch it with him… I want chocolate… I had an It’s It ice cream last night after going to bed, hubby brought it for me, it was the last one in the fridge…

Today I ate: vitamins, water… lunch~chimichanga, yogurt, cola… dinner~hot dog, chicken strip, corn on the cob, baked beans, potato salad… and chocolate if I find some…

Happy Journaling…

September Eighth…

Today was a better day… Had more job alerts in the email and even found more job search engines to sign up at… Hubby applied at another job and we even saw his position that he got let go from advertised at the new site we found… hubby had mixed feelings about that…

Son1 and son2 got to work and school this morning and hubby and I slept in again til after seven when we had to get son3 up for school… walked son3 to school, had breakfast, hubbies job searching stuff online, checked email, washed son1 and son2’s bedding, watched Emergency, tidied up my room a bit, watered the houseplants, walked to pick up son3, it was early day, did homework, he had spelling, two math pages, and write a rough draft for his paragraph, read a bit of blogs and make dinner, mostly leftovers…

Now it is freezing in here… I have shorts on, a long sleeve shirt and socks… have all the windows open and turned off some of the fans… It is only 75 right now at 7pm… Isn’t it great!!

Saw son3’s kindergarten teacher today while we were picking up son3 and she pointed out that I had lost weight and looked good… she asked how I did it and I said, just don’t eat, lol… I’ve been eating too much this week, need to reel me in again… get in the right frame of mind to only eat when hungry and stop when full…

Today the long sleeve shirt I’m wearing I bought way cheap on clearance a couple of years ago but never wore it cause it was too small but it was too cute to pass up… anyway it now fits with extra room… I was talking to hubby today and noticed his eyes kept wandering… I was like what are you looking at, you aren’t listening to me… he said I really like that shirt and you look so good….

Son1 was here after work, then had to go bring a Jeep part to a friend, then went to help a friend moving load the truck real quick, just ten minutes, he just got back an hour and a half later… now he’s hungry and needs a shower wants to play his XBox game that he was playing before everyone interrupted him…

Hubby and I got sucked into America’s Got Talent again last night, so we will be watching the results tonight as they narrow down to the last four…

Today I ate: breakfast~frosted flakes, water, vitamins, green tea tablet… mini chocolate chips… bbq chips… lunch~yogurt, cola… golden fishies… dinner~turkey burger w/bun, rice, baked beans, mashed potato, potato salad, green beans, corn on the cob, water…

Happy Journaling…

September Seventh

Today was a blah day… son1 was off to work on his own… I got son2 off to school and went back to bed til 7am when I had to get son3 up and off to school… hubby and I walked him to school and took the long way back… hubby went online to check all his job websites but not much popping up today, maybe cause of the holiday weekend… I checked all my email… paid two bills… scheduled birthday cards on facebook… got the birthday cards going out in the mail done for the month… played a bit on facebook… loaded the dishwasher, but haven’t run it yet… did three loads of laundry but haven’t put it away yet… hubby and I walked and picked up son3… homework with son3 was two math pages and spelling… pulled out the leftovers for dinner… and here it is 8pm already… son1, son2 and girlfriend are watching Wipeout… son3 is hurrying in the shower so he can watch too…

I did not have a good eating day… I am coming down the other side of Chuck… and since it was a good month going in, it is not so good coming out… sinking into a black hole… hey but I just realized my headache is finally gone… I thought it was a hormonal headache and not a hubby lost his job headache… I do hate though that one minute I’m feeling good and then I remember hubby doesn’t have a job and we are still waiting on unemployment…

Today I ate: breakfast~frosted flakes, vitamins, water… shredded wheat… lunch~slice of vegetable pizza, cola… spoonful of chocolate frosting… cactus cooler… popcorn… dinner~2 hotdogs, rice, baked beans, veggies, corn on the cob, mashed potato, potato salad, water… I had a bit of everything for dinner… and now I am fuller than I have been in a while and I don’t like it… but bad days are bound to happen…

It is way windy outside… shouldn’t have to turn the air conditioner on again til hopefully Saturday…

So much I wanted to do today… off again tomorrow… maybe I’ll be inspired…

Happy Journaling…

September Sixth~Labor Day…

I was up early and off to work this morning… time and a half plus holiday pay… and I had lots to do at work so the day went fast… I scanned the men and athletic shoes for missing displays… helped clean a bit from all the shoppers from yesterday… cleaned up the women athletic shoe wall as the shoes and the shelves were on the floor… opened boxes… went to lunch… opened boxes… and located athletic shoes into the stockroom…

Came home… checked email… cooked hotdogs, turkey burgers, corn on the cob, baked beans, curly fries and potato salad…

Hubby did lots of honey dos around the house and got son2 on his chores and homework… son1 was home today, put his top back on his jeep since the temps are cooling down and rented a skateboard game that son2 and son3 watched him play…

Last night son1 and girlfriend went out with their friends and we got to see girlfriend’s new ring… tomorrow they will take it in to get sized again… they put it in to be sized when she first got it but after picking it up, doesn’t seem like they sized it all… It was pretty, nice and small, just enough and she likes it… she’s not in any hurry to rush the relationship along any time soon…

I finally got to watch the pilot movie for Emergency last night on my season one DVD set and I ate some chocolate covered Rasinettes… hubby and son2 watched it with me…

Now we are watching National Treasure with Nicholas Cage and I finally had a bit of time to read a couple of blogs…

Now I’m off for the next two days, lots to do and more job hunting with hubby…

Today I ate: vitamins, greet tea tablet, water… lunch~chimichanga by El Monterey in the blue bag for Sheri who was asking, yogurt, cola… hand went in the BBQ chip bag again… dinner~hot dog, potato salad, baked beans, curly fries, 2 corn on the cob…

Happy Journaling…

September Fifth…

Saturday we decided to have a relaxing day with a break from job looking and emotional roller coaster riding… Of course I can’t relax and got a headache…

Hubby made pancakes for breakfast… son1 went off with friend S to get coffee and doughnuts… son1 wanted to go 4 wheeling but no one wanted to go with him so friend was soothing him with doughnuts…

son2 did homework and went with son1 later in the morning to find a shift knob for son1’s jeep that broke off when he was installing new clutch… they didn’t find anything son1 liked… stopped at friend S’s house and then dropped son2 off at home and they went to the junk yard to see if there were any there… back home son1 took son2 to storage to get his guitar and found his work shirt that he had been missing for weeks… must have gone to storage the last time he wore it… later in the evening son1 went back to friend S’s house with girlfriend… ended up getting sick to his stomach and spending the night… think he didn’t drink enough water out and about in the hot day…

son3 of course played Roller Coaster Tycoon all day taking a break to watch Roughnecks…

Hubby trimmed some trees in the yard, played on his computer doing some art work, got gas in the car and sent off a resume online…

I worked on my Motivation Station entry for Thursday, made Jell-O, corn on the cob and potato salad for Monday, laundry, dishes, updated the checkbook, and spent a little time at Career Builder looking at available jobs…

We had leftovers for dinner and watched the rest of our Wild Wild West DVD… We were all very tired, well except for son3 who’s never tired, and we went to bed early and hubby and I watched Bones… we are still turning off the air conditioner at night and keeping it at 82 during the afternoon… The PG&E bill came yesterday, may have contributed to my headache as it was $463… interesting though that the bill runs through 8/26 and we cut way back on the AC on 8/27 so next months bill should be way lower… although this new bill was more than last month and we have since replaced the filter, replaced the clothes dryer  and dish washer with better energy efficiency so must have been hotter in August than July…

However we didn’t get very good rest as Danny was barking at every noise since the windows are open and the fans are going… so it was later this morning that my headache finally went away…

Saturday I ate: breakfast~vitamins, green tea tablet, one pancake with syrup and blueberry jelly, french vanilla hot chocolate with a marshmallow… lunch~one slice vegetable pizza, water… dinner~macaroni and cheese, ravioli, water… popsicle…

Today I was up early and off to work… changed out a few signs, changed out a sale table, stocked men’s shoes, cleaned up our signing that the painters took down, sorted boxes, went to lunch, opened boxes, off at 3pm…

son1 was home and feeling better having had some toast, two corndogs and lots of liquids… he and son2 watched Balls of Fury… son3 still on Roller Coaster Tycoon… son2 mowed the lawn and did some chores… he still has homework to finish and son3 needs to get in the habit of reading some books not just video games… hubby worked in the yard all day today…

Since home, I have showered, put son2’s laundry in the dryer, had to take mine out, checked email, saved hubby a job to his job file at Career Builder from his alerts, made dinner and wrote this entry… Hubby has picked a movie to watch… we voted for the new Star Trek… dinner is now ready, just some chicken, mashed potatoes and veggies and left over pizza…

Today I ate: vitamins, water… lunch~chimichanga, yogurt, cola… hubby opened the BBQ chips when I got home so had my hand in the bag a few times… dinner~chicken, mashed potatoes, veggies, water…
