I would have to say that I have been a bit down lately. I am not sure why. I really have no reason to be. My job is good, pretty secure I think. Home is pretty good, Hubby is awesome, hasn't bludgeoned me to death yet. Although I still do not know what I want for dinner. Kids are good, well, mostly you know, they are kids after all.
Pip is doing well in school, growing by the day. He is super smart and just an all around wonderful kid. Albeit a little high maintenance. He is learning a lot in swimming, I am not sure how many more sessions he has in him before he has mastered their program. They said originally it would take 3 to 5 years to go from the Level 1 that he started at to the Level 8 that he will finish at. He has been there 19 months, he took 4 months off for baseball, he is currently a solid Level 7. Yay for Pip, I am so happy for him and my peace of mind. He is enjoying Cub Scouts but is not enjoying all the work the he didn't know what coming with it.
The Teen is good, could be doing better in school, but I know middle school is a tough 3 years, we are almost done. He is a kids with ADHD who decided last year that he no longer wanted to medicate, so he has to work much harder to maintain good grades than he did when he was on some type of medication. He didn't like the way the meds made him feel. I can respect that. He is progressing nicely in Kendo which is Japanese Fencing for those of you that do not know. He will be getting his Bogu soon and then we start with tournaments in March. I can see this being an expensive sport but I am glad he has found an activity that he enjoys outside of video games. Speaking of which, he has also joined a WarHammer Club at school, this was a new one for me. He is not a joiner by nature so I was glad he wanted to join something, I was unprepared for the cost. He is going to have to pitch in with this one. He will take some classes soon to help him learn to build, paint, and play this game. Its a role playing type game with little figures, I would explain it but I can't, so I won't. If you want to know you can read more here... WarHammer
So nothing there to really be down about. So I really couldn't figure it out. I have wondered if this is because it is getting colder outside. I often suffer from SAD so naturally this could be my problem, but it is a little early for me, I usually start to hate life after Halloween. So then I thought that maybe it was because I will be 36 on Saturday. Boy, I am getting old. Yuck! I don't so much feel old because I am 36 but more because the Teen is taller than me and is going on 14. I don't know I got to be old enough to be a mom of a teenager. But you know the more I thought about it the more I decided that I don't really care how old I am.
Well today I think I figured it out. I had nothing to look forward too. Sounds dumb, huh? Let me explain. For the last few years Hubby and I seem to always have something planned, day trips to Rehoboth or Times Square, weekend getaways to Atlantic City or Disney. A family vacation to the beach or to Disney World. A wedding and honeymoon. Lots of good stuff planned all the time. We were constantly saving money for one trip or another. We have been to Disney in some form 4 times in 13 months. Atlantic City another 4 or 5 times. The Outer Banks, Times Square, countless times to the shore for Grotto Pizza and outlet shopping. Right now we have nothing planned. We are not saving any money for something special and really have nothing planned. We tried to plan something for my birthday weekend, but it just didn't work out with kids activity schedules and what not.
Well that is until today.... We have PLANS!! and I cant even begin to tell you how excited I am to have some. Today Hubby bought tickets for a new Cirque du Soleil show, its not until April 2011, but its a plan! And I got us tickets to our first Disney D23 Fan Event. This one is in Times Square at the opening of their new store there. Its in 2 weeks, so its close. Something to look forward to. The event is on Sunday, so we will go up on Saturday, look around, hang out, sleep in what will hopefully be a bed bug free hotel, and then attend the event on Sunday! I can't even tell you how excited I am by this. Hubby and I also started to talk about plans for our 1st Anniversary and summer vacation for next summer. Lots of plans in the works now. I feel better today. Can this really be it? I don't know but I am not going to over think it. As I so often do.

Wednesday....
Wednesdays Suck... I know we all hate Mondays but nothing really sucks like Wednesday does. It smack dab in the middle of the week. Its a boring day too. No fun at all. OK, I might just not be in a good mood today. I woke up in a good mood, the kids got up easy, we even left the house on time. I am not sure why I am in a bad mood now. Must Be Work. See if I didn't have to work I would be in a great mood now. I'm tired, plain and simple. I think I'll take a nap in my car during lunch.
This is all I have for now..... More later?

Rainy Monday Morning....
I am only at work 3 days this week, which sounds wonderful if I didn't have to have surgery on Thursday. I am not afraid to admit that I am very worried, and scared of what they might find or even not find. I am sure it will all work out. But I have started biting my nails again after having stopped for quite some time. I am not sleeping well either. I don't know if its nerves or the pain. I thought I had gotten used to being in pain every single day, but maybe not. I have worked hard to not live on Vicodin but in order to get some sleep I might need to start. Next on the agenda.... Rehab!!! Maybe there I'll be able to get some sleep!!
Happy Monday Everyone!! Stay Warm and Stay Dry!

This is how I felt this morning! |
Coming into work today was difficult at best. It's cold and rainy. Great day to just stay in bed. Read a good book or catch up on some much needed sleep. Pip has a great Dr. Seuss book called "I Am NOT Going to Get up Today!" I love that book and that's how I felt this morning. It's a good book, if you have a toddler or young child I highly recommend it.
Thinking of all the things that need to get done today is just daunting. I am not even talking about here at work. (Where I probably should not be blogging from!) But after work. Leave here at 4:45, get Pip, take him to swim, Hubby will meet me at swim with the Teen, Scout uniform and Happy Meals. When swim ends at 6:00, we have to get Pip fed, changed and then to Scouts by 6:30, and then I will need to get the Teen changed and to Kendo by 7:15. Somewhere in here they both need to get homework done. I am exhausted just thinking about it. Pip won't get home from Scouts until after 8, which is already after his bedtime. I won't get home from Kendo until almost 8:30. **sigh** I need a nap. How nice would it be if Pip would actually do his homework at daycare afterschool. I can hear it now..."But Mom, M, S, H, (or any other kid) really needed me to play with him/her!" I guess he will do his homework tomorow morning before school. I am pretty sure that this is not good parenting.
