Last Week

I really should write these posts out during the week because I always forget everything by Monday. I know work was really stressful for myself and for Peter. We've had a lot of crazy things hit at my work and at Peter's work they just fired 5 people because they didn't get all their certification tests done in time and so they are piling jobs on Peter that he has no clue how to do. 
I did take a friend of mine down to the Quarter Store so she got to do that and I bought a prom dress for Brielle down there that will need some adjustments. It's got a few snags but nothing I think anyone will notice and can't beat the price of $5. 
Friday was a messed up day for me I just had a bad day from beginning to end. I knew I needed to stop caring so much about it that in the long run it really didn't matter and if I just moved on I would be happier but I never quite could.
Saturday, Katherine had 4-H Marksmanship and then that evening I went and played cards with Peter and the boys.
Sunday we had company over and cooked out since it was nice out and looks like it will be nice out for most of this week. 

Apparently I didn't take any pictures of anything this week which I think is bunk and that for whatever reason they just aren't loading correctly but I'm not going to argue with it right now since it is 10:30.
I was up til near 1:30 trying to catch up laundry so people would have clothes to wear today and then back up at 6 and back down to bed around 6:10 and then back up at 6:50 and then just been trying to get things done since then.
I feel like I'm sitting here drooling on myself and that's the best accomplishment I've had with the help of 2 cups of coffee. 


It should be beautiful out here in Kentucky being in the low 70's all week. It is hard to believe it is February! Hope everyone has a great week. I'm going to go drool on myself in the shower and see if I can start feeling like a human.

Last Week

So last week got pretty messed up. There was no gym. There was a lot of stress though. Brielle came down flu positive we found out Tuesday morning even though I sent he to school Monday not feeling well so she probably had it then. Since Brielle had the flu it just meant a lot of sanitizing things though nothing really got cleaned or organized just sanitized. The good thing is no one else in the household got the flu.
Friday I got roped into playing Friday Night Magic with Peter which kind of threw things off. Saturday they were playing Game Day Magic and they were short people so I got roped in and then Sunday I got roped in. Needless to say I lost a lot of time to get stuff done with my plants and around the house.
No pictures. No funny stories. It was just a lot of working. Juggling hours and picking up paperwork and medicine through the week.
Brielle is back at school today though so that is a good thing. 

Hopefully next week I'll have a more exciting blog post. God, I feel like this one is very plain. 

I will say this though the weekend was very pretty here. We actually opened up the windows and aired out the house. I just turned the heater back on this morning.

So far looking like an easy week. We'll see if it stays that way. Kids are going into finals testing so it'll still be a pretty high stress week.

Last Week

Start with Sunday and work backwards.
Sunday we ended up doing the Super Bowl thing at our house so I made up some wings and bacon sausage things and a friend brought grilled pork and we watched the games. I was rooting for the Falcons but it was a good game overall from what I understood of it.
Saturday Brielle spent the day volunteering. I got some stuff done around the house and we had company over for a good part of the day.
Friday I stayed home sick I had been feeling sick to the stomach for 3 days and I finally gave in. By that evening I was feeling a little better not 100% but no what I was so Peter wanted me to go play cards with him. I did it still not sure how I feel about it.
During the rest of the previous week it was just work. Feeling poorly so not getting to the gym and general life.
