So far...

I have decided to keep track of what exactly I have done this week...so that maybe I can see that something is getting done around here.
Yesterday
   Js breakfast,
   Js to school,
   dunkin donuts/bagel with Alice-we do this every Tuesday a.m. We have one of those friendships that we may not talk all week, but on Tuesdays it is like we saw each other yesterday. She brings her 3 y/o and afternoon K son. We are able to sip coffee and catch up on how being a military wife can well...suck!  But we also talk about the great things our kids are doing. She is one of my few friends that I can actually brag about my kids to, and she is truly excited! Her kids last about 1 hour...thank the good Lord for portable DVD players!! :)  Of note...the ladies @ dunkin donuts, know us by site, they are pouring our coffee as soon as we walk in the door. Yesterday I tripped them up because I ordered a large coffee!
   Work
   Tried to fix my stinkin fax...and failed...
   Stepped over some laundry thinking...dang...Little J owes me 2 quarters for those 2 socks I just picked up
   Arranged how I my girlfriend (3 hrs away) and I are going to get a baby shower planned and delivered to a another friend this Sunday...logistics, food, gifts.
   Called MiLove-to figure out where we can get the broken window fixed, if we should have a cleaning service do a final cleaning once the movers leave...there was more...what was it
   Big J to soccer
   Sweat a lot!!!  90 degrees with at least 200% humidity!  I am not a humidity girl--bring me some dry air and chapstick and I am good to go! My naturally wavy turns into an afro--truly in this humidity! I should post a pic of just my hair sometime!
   Pet the dog
   Realized the dog is out of food and it is time to get the Js from school
   Called A while waiting in the kiss-n-ride. Just when I think about "how busy I am", she tells me she had to put their dog to sleep today.  Heart wrenching....I went home and hugged the Beagle and squeezed her and told her--"sorry, I forgot to get more dogfood, I am a terrible Beagle owner".
   A little more work
   Supper-consisted of pasta, strawberries, bananas and milk....for the love i need to go to the store
   MiLove got home, hugged him, said "hi" while he played with the Js.
   Email
   Js to bed
   watched a little of "wipeout". MiLove laughs his butt off. I think I watch it mostly because I love his laugh.  I am not sure how I feel about watching people get hurt...more about that later.
   "Researched" on the computer about platform beds for Big J, a new work station/table for me, and gazed @ the Ikea website...note to self--must get to Ikea one more time before the move
  Went to bed
  Got out of bed..forgot to email about something.
  Went to bed
  Got out of bed to check on the Js. It's something I have done since they were born. Cover them up, turn on Big Js radio if it isn't on already and watch them for a bit while they sleep.  If for some reason I fall asleep without checking on them, I wake up in a panic and go check on them

I guess that's it...hmm....I need to review this list and eliminate the stuff that didn't really matter.

  1. Things:

    I'm so proud of you for petting the dog.

    I love that you have a coffee date on Tuesdays. I'll remember to not call you on Tuesday mornings for the next 4 weeks.

    I have this picture on my phone. Guess you don't need it now.

    Yes, get a cleaning lady for the final cleaning. Definately.

    Ikea. Yes. Can I place a small order?

    Wipout. I watch it just to listen to Middle laugh. I have to constantly remind myself that they signed up for that!!

    A - the A we have in common? Or your A? Which lost the dog? Not that I'll do anything. Just wondering.

    Your list is dwindling. I'm so proud of you! You are working like a beagle (no offense intended) . . . maybe a bull terrier . . . packing, tracking kids and dealing with your afro. All in a day's work, right?

    Still, in my most selfish moments . . . I can't wait for you to come home!! Miss you!!!

  2. Please let me know what you need from IKEA. I love it there! I am thinking I will go by myself one of these days. It's only about 30 minutes from here. Put in your order and I am happy to get it for you. I love their plastic bowls/plates/cups for the kiddos.

    A--I should have put AQ--my AQ--the one with the fab house and deco skills.
