A Typical Week CA Girl Style

What is a typical week for you?  A typical week for me goes something like this:

Monday:  Take the kids to school.  Take the man to work.  I usually end up running an errand or have an appointment on this day.  It's early release for the two younger kids and they get out five minutes apart and the schools are 2 miles apart.  Who set this up?  After I get them home I have about a 30 minute break before picking up the teen.  Come home for a small break, homework, dinner, dishes and pick up the man.

Tuesday is similar, but add in Weight Watchers and usually a Wal-Mart trip. The kids all get out at the same time...well let me rephrase that...they get out at 2:45(elementary and high school) and 3:10 Middle school.  Homework is in there, dinner, dishes, DWTS recap, picking up the man and finish that recap!

Wednesday:  Husband and kids all need to be to school/work between 8:30 and 9.  I like to keep Wednesday's open for working at home. But they are usually crowded out by last minute errands, appointments, grocery trips, business calls, etc.  Pick up kids blah blah.  Husband gets off at the dinner hour so teen has to finish up dinner.  Come home to make sure homework and dishes are completed before bedtimes are enforced. And collapse in my chair.

Thursday:  My regular shopping day.  Plus everyone to work and school.  Shopping knocks me out!  Maybe it is because I am always running.  Maybe it is because I am wimp.  Whatever it is, by the time I am done, I am DONE!  Sit and have lunch and then I just sit!  But then I am back in the van!  I swear sometimes I live there!  Kids. Homework.  Dinner.  Husband.  Bed times...collapse again!

Friday comes and I am ready for it be Saturday!!!  No taxiing.  No lunch making...what?  I didn't mention that?  Shoot.  I do that.  Did you notice I didn't mention the laundry.  Yeah I do it on the weekend.

Does this mean I do not take time for me?  Almost!  I do go to Zumba and Weight Watchers.  Those are mine.  I just lead a very crazy busy hectic life. I am sure one day it will slow down, and I will wonder where all the time went.  In the meantime, I will be busy busy busy. 

What is a typical week for you?

I used to be on taxi duty so I felt like I spent most days in the car, but not since the boys started riding the bus. :)

If only there were buses or lives would be that much simpler! Yesterday I took Lucas to school, quick run to Target-home to put stuff away then time to take Alex to preschool. Leave from preschool for trip to Scout Store, thrift stores, dollar stores- then back to Alex's preschool - feed Ryder lunch while we wait. Get home lunch, nap for Ryder then a little over a hour until time to get Lucas. And that was a long sentence.

Oh, I look forward to Saturdays too, though usually I end up running all my errands. I would love a chauffeur. The preschool, half-day kindergarten, 2nd grade, try to fit a toddler nap in combo is not working so well. :)

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
