Smiles and sore muscles

Yesterday was a bit better of a day. I think my kids are permanently grouchy though, at least when they are with me anyways. I think they are totally different kids when I am not around, b/c everyone raves about how good they are, and how they care about each other so much. Then I get home from work and I have 2 kids that do nothing but bicker and fight with each other, whine over the simplest things and only want to eat JUNK! Doesn't help that as a person I don't have a lot of patience..and that's one trait as a mother that I seriously need to work on, and am working on.

Even with the bickering, whining kids I managed to get on my wii-fit for a full hour last night!! I was so pleased with myself and felt so good after doing it. It's made me think though..July will be here next week and I have not once broke out my rollerblades!! The streets should be clean enough, of rocks and rubble, to be able to get a good "blade" on! Perhaps tonight..I say perhaps b/c every muscle in my body is screaming at me right now as if to say "NO NO , WE DO NOT WANT TO GET IN SHAPE!!"

Thursday and Friday I will be at home and I have a lot on my to-do list.
-Paint the decals on the kids walls.
-Clean my bathroom top to bottom (it's been neglected for over a week! GROSS!)
-Clean under my fridge and stove (SOO not looking forward to this, as I have not once done it since we moved in)
-Take the dog to the vet for her shots.
-Vacuum
-Sweep & mop
-Wash sheets & any remaining laundry
-work on my photography course
-work out on the wiifit
-play with and enjoy my grumpy children
-Mow the grass
-Grocery shop

I think I can do it. .....

Saturday is back to Regina for the football game. I have to decide today what my plans are. My mom really wants to keep the kids while I am at it, and I really did not want to spend the night, as I have A LOT to do (see list above , that I KNOW will run into the weekend).

Next week I go for my pre-op for surgery. So I get to get my blood taken , etc, etc. I am dreading it. The only thing I hate about surgery is the needles. I hate getting blood taken, and I hate when they put the IV in. I also hate getting stitches taken out. July 14th seemed a long ways away, but it is already sneaking up very fast!

July 8th is the big day I turn 26! Do I feel excited about birthdays anymore? Not really, not for mine anyways. My husband is always working and the rig rarely ever shuts down in time to go for supper. And if it does, you do not know til last minute and have pretty much shunned any oppurtunity to find a sitter.

Any creative ideas of what we should do for our "Rider Gear" this game? Last game we did the S's on our face...I don't know what to do this time.
