November - Monday planning

How is it November already? Seriously, that means I'm only a third of the way done with kid birthday party planning in my family.

So I haven't done a "planning" post in a while, but I'm going to try and get back on track.  My life is busy and full, and I need to make sure I don't forget anything!


  1. Pay tuition for preschool.  It's due this week and I have the check in my pocket and forgot to drop it off when I dropped her off this morning. 
  2. Get my 4 runs in this week - which means one tomorrow night after T gets home. 
  3. Stay on top of the older girls' school work and get their portfolios mailed this week. 
  4. Remember to take a deep breath before jumping into a "girl fight" in my house.  Honey, not vinegar.
  5. Get the girls to all of their activities this week. 
  6. Mail stuff that needs to be mailed (Bari and Brooke - expect it this week!)
  7. Not kill anyone this weekend while T is in Boise for 4 days instead of 3. 
  8. Be happy that he only has November and December to make that trek before he transfers to Reno.
  9. Work my tail off because the bill for Disneyland and the marathon in January just showed up. EEK!
I think that's a plenty long list.  I'll leave it there.  Also? I hope Tiffany's little bundle of joy shows up this week because then I can plan a December? January? trip to Idaho to meet the long-awaited Samuel!

    That's some serious planning :) I especially like that something is coming for me!

    Don't forget to start looking at flights to Baltimore for FitBloggin!!!! You could always fly to GR Wed and then fly to Baltimore with me on Thurs. IJS. (Although the cost might be crazy!)

    I want a package too. It doesn't matter what it is, but just send me something, m'kay?

    I love the name Samuel.

    i'm guessing reno is a whole lot closer than he is now?

    mine is a christmas gift, so i'm in no rush. then again having a gift wrapped the first week in november might make me feel like an overacheiver. i like that feeling :P

    Busy week! Good luck with it all!

    My week involves a lot of mini-errands, writing, and several trips to the bank. ::sigh:: And counting down the days until we leave for Thailand. (20. EEK!)

    Um, in order for him to make it into your weekly plans he needs to arrive by tomorrow. It does not look good for that. But I'll let you know if he changes his mind.

Tell It To Me Tuesday - A letter

...to our Nation's daughters.  That was Jade's challenge this week.  I have to admit my first reaction was that this was going to be easy, I've got three of them living under my roof.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I didn't want to write something fluffy or silly just for the simple fact that I have three of them under my roof. So here goes nothing. To the Beautiful Daughters of Our Nation: This world you now live in is so different from the one I grew up in.  High-end technology when I was just starting in school was a VCR.  And they were big.  A night out as a family usually meant McDonald's, and we loved it.  I love that my parents allowed me to be a child and to have fun and be silly and to have few responsibilities.  I sure had fun.  But I realize now that maybe I had it too easy.  I say this because I am constantly telling my own daughters that life isn't always easy.  That you must work and someti...

#insaneroadtrip day 17

Wow! It's amazing what happens when you sleep for 8 hours one night and 9 the next! You can cope with heat and humidity and sun and crowds and traffic. After enjoying a nice yummy breakfast (I had an omelet) we packed up the truck and headed out of Granny's place and off for the big city. We were meeting Thea at the Air & Space Museum and rode the metro in the north. The metro used to scare me, but not so much anymore. The maps are pretty too. We left T at a corner where he turned towards Starbucks to do homework and not hobble around in his boot. We went the opposite way towards l Air & Space. The last time we were there the girls didn't get to see a lot of it because we ran out of time. After a pitstop in the bathroom I spotted Thea. Yay! Roomie! The 10yo was excited to see all the Apollo stuff since she did a research paper on it at the end of the school year. I took pictures on the real camera but not with my phone so no fun pictures there. I refused to make i...

The wind is howling

Literally.  And a storm is brewing.  We are slated for up to 8 inches of snow.  (I just looked that up. And I'm not happy right now.)  I have a 14-mile run tomorrow.  Mmm. Not quite sure how that's going to work.  So tomorrow may be less crazy than originally anticipated.  I can't trudge through 14 miles of 8 inches of snow.  It shall be interesting because the storm is supposed to hit tonight and lighten up midday tomorrow and then hit again Saturday night through Sunday midday. This marathon training business is hard work.  Only time will tell what the weekend holds in the way of a run for me. So for now, I'll head out and cram as much as I can into this morning and this afternoon.  Birthday party tomorrow for the 8yo!! Let's get this show on the road!!
