CRAZINESS

I feel like I've fallen behind. I'm not sure why cause surely there are Mom's much busier than I, like the ones that leave house and work. I know I slacked big time with yard work this year. Our plan was to be gone before any of the left behind Fall work would be done. Well that was a totally ignorant assumption to make. That being said, when I told my MIL that I didn't clean out the flower beds or cut anything down she told me, you don't have to. Its better for the flowers to leave it till Spring and provide them with some cover over the Winter. She's right. Its just my anal personality that makes me clean every leaf and cut everything down when it starts to cool off. So, I guess I'm doing alright.

Hockey and practice does consume a lot of our time. With DH husband being the assistant coach this year, there's not missed practices for a snot nose or a tired kid who had a bad nights sleep. We love it. I love that he's getting out, socializing and laughing with people. Its such a relief to see him be more himself now. We actually went to a Wheat Kings game this weekend with the team and of course, my boyfriend met us there. Afterwards we went for dinner with the team. This is not something DH would usually do.

On the topic of things he wouldn't do, let touch on the driving. I was starting to feel like a chaufeur. I was gonna get a Mom's Taxi license plate. Well now he won't let me drive. Or if I take the lead and get in the driver's seat, he's annoyed. Well you know what, works for me cause I hate Winter driving. So again, in a totally other aspect, he's back.

LP is in two programs this Winter. Shake, Rattle & Roll which is LOVES. We'll be doing the repeat session in the New Year because she enjoys it so much. She is also in dance. Timing worked out great as she has dance as LM is getting ready for practice.

I've also been volunteering my time at the school. I love it. I love helping and being a part of LM's learning. He's an amazing little kid. You can only imagine how my head swelled when his teacher told me what an amazing kid he is. Ah, Mother's Pride. Now we just need to work on that printing, lol.


And for me. Well besides my running which I try to do every night but don't always get to, I have now signed up for a fitness class starting next week. I'm really excited. I've come this far with the exercise, why not keep going. I really slacked after our Winnipeg trip and gained back 3lbs and really didn't have the energy to run. I've gotten back into this last 2 weeks and lost that 3lbs plus 2 more which leaves me 2lbs from my goal weight that I set last June. Well guess what, what's another 5 more after that right. I feel great. I'm still super self-concious about my body but I'm getting there.

Other than that, I still don't know where all my time goes. That being said, I need to get off my ass, clean off this computer desk, take out the recycle and make LM's bed amongst other housework. Uhm, maybe this is where I'm wasting time, lol.
