Today is our usual Saturday morning rush here. My boys and I and hubbie are off bowling. The boys are all involved in bowling and we the parents help. The younger boys and I are together and have a pretty good time. They really seem to enjoy it and it's time out of the house and seeing other kids. My oldest is with the YBC, And he's on the Bantam league. He seems to like it and it's time with other kids, that aren't his brothers. Sometimes your brothers are not your best friends.
I'm sitting here in my pjs trying to get my brain moving over tea and some blog reading. It gets me a small taste of adults brains and then I'll go be surrounded by kids. The Best part of my bowling is that the parents are bowling with the kids so we can help the little ones learn, help them take turns and intervene when there is only 1 green ball and 3 boys that want to use it for all 3 balls.
The kids learn to share and take turns, the moms/dads/grandmas learn to parent in public. Yes use your indoor voice, understand that other parents have rules too, understand that some parents have no rules. Today we get to wear red for Valentine's. I will have to find my red top, and my pink fleece. The alley is a tad bit cool. I'm still in my pjs, the tea is almost gone. My eyes are almost open, I will enjoy myself, oh and there's a slice of pizza! Off I go to the cold cold van. BTW Do you think bowling counts as lunges?

Well I must seriously be wintered out?
Last night I went to bed relatively early, about 10ish after watching NCIS. It was a good episode. I didn't find anything else to watch and when your eyes are closing over while your watching tv, it's time for SLEEP! I unsnuggled myself out of the sofa blankets and resnuggled myself into bed. I slept like a rock, no one wanted to get up to go to the bathroom, no one called out in pain from growing pains so it was 635 when the alarm went off I got up sat on the side of the bed and then hubbie said the magic words, I'll drive AJ in! Today TJ is home sick so AJ would have had to get ready and walk to the bus stop alone. I like this plan, it means 35more sleeping minutes.
I went right back to sleep! Zonk gone! I guess I must have really went to sleep hard because I started to dream. The Dream is where I've realized winter needs to end now.
In the dream I started out in the house, doing whatever, it was snowing outside, hubbie had cleared the driveway with the snow blower. We had another person in the house, teen, I can't quite place her, but she was leaving to go somewhere. I said I'll help shovel you out.. so shovel shovel... I'm out on the front walk shoveling behind where our screen porch door swings open and I see 4 boys coming up my lawn and driveway and a truck. The person in the truck starts pushing my extended cab truck (I have a van but whatever) out of it's parked spot. I'm getting angry, I said "Go away, I don't need any help, and your scratching my car" and then I kept saying it over and over, I threatened to call the police for trespassing? they didn't leave. The person comes out of the big truck she's a heavy set woman and she's got a cake box (bakery kind you know???) and says "that will be (can't remember) dollars minus the 20% for having it cleared before we got here. I then took my shovel, which was one I remembered from my child hood, with the steel pan and had it right up to the woman's Throat... and the alarm went off! How Dare they touch "MY" snow?
Yep I think my mind is too preoccupied with snow. Abandon chair btw has some snow shrinkage going on, you can now see the "bumps" where the snow is higher from where it fell on the arms of the chair. 5wks and 1day to spring...

Wednesday's, what do you want to hear?
Today is one of those days, when I'm trying to get myself moving, get everything done but well I only have 1/2 a kids school day to do it and I end up sitting here. It's snowing, again! when does it stop? I'm not sure yet. I'll have to update abandon chair picture before the snow changes over to freezing rain and it's all packed down. Recharging my camera batteries would probably help that step along. First finding the camera. More signs I need to clean my house more...schedule..hmmmmm I think I read or talked about schedules this week, maybe it's time to get one?
Wednesday are my escape night. I go out every Wednesday night to get to my ww meetings and find out how I did food and exercise wise in my strive to get back to my lifetime goal. My baby is almost 4 now, I have to stop calling it baby weight. I was going to give up the weighins, yep was going to just say well I made it here I'll stay here but I missed the meetings, I missed forking over my 15.00 to talk to adults! Hubbie is almost tired of hearing my questions about his day. So anything new at work? Talk to anyone? and off he goes to walk to the coach and zone me out. I think the kids are zoning me out too. "Did you talk to any teachers?" "What did your teacher wear today?" "Did you go outside for recess, or stay in?" "did you say hi to the bus driver?" all adults you know, they even get to talk to more adults lately then I do. They get to go out in the real world and see and deals with adults. Wednesday is my turn, I'll go out, I'll see people that are working on their goals just like I am, and I'll get to talk about adult topics! not my kids, me and other adults. :) OK every once in a while there is mention of the Baby weight, but I'm now vowing to stop calling it that.
Yes I'm a smilies addict can you tell? I've been typing out there into the internet world since about 1992, so :) are part of the picture. My smilies used to have noses, :-) or Bigger Grins:D but now I'm down to a :) and a :P, and yes I am almost always sticking my tongue out when I do that :P.
So now I"m off to move laundry around, so it looks like I've done more than sit here reading Twitter, FB and everyone else Blogs all morning. 2hours! I've got 2hours to get it all done!
