Let's just jump right in, shall we?
1. About 2/3 of the way through my school day, I started looking for my keys (which are connected to my wallet....) Not sure why I felt like I needed them, I just did. After a thorough search of my bag did not turn up the keys, I started to worry. I figured maybe I had locked them in the car, so I walked to the parking lot to search for them...mentally walking through my conversation with AAA about why I needed them to come out and open my car. The good news? I hadn't locked them in the car....the doors were all unlocked. The bad news? The keys were still in the ignition. With my wallet hanging from them. With all the doors unlocked. All. Day. Long.
2. This week has been tough. Going back to school after a long break was really tough for my boys and they have been exhausted every night. But Tuesday? Tuesday was a freaking doozie. The boys were in child care at the church while I had inservice, and Jonathan didn't take a nap. And boy, does brother still need a nap. So by the time 7:30 rolled around (and Zack still wasn't home) we were all losing our brains. I am ashamed to admit that Jonathan and I had a scream-off. Face to face, loud as we could be, both so stinkin' mad at each other...For the record, I won. He couldn't hold a straight face. Amateur.
3. Monday night I ate chips and dip for dinner. With a piece of cake for dessert. In my defense, the chips were Veggie Chips. Which are totally, 100% healthy and basically count like negative calories. Oh, and they are a legitimate vegetable serving. So...bam. (for some of my pyscho, health nut friends...I am being sarcastic....you get that, right?)
4. My New Year Goal of being healthy and losing weight hasn't really gotten off the best start. Please see #3 for reasons why I say this....
5. My other goals however, have been going well! I have been trying to touch base with at least 2 friends each week and let them know I am thinking of them. I am learning (in the 1 week this little project has been going on) that I really like to email/text with people, but I am not as easily persuaded to make plans or commit to getting together. I crave relationships and prayer partners, but not necessarily hanging out all the time. I am also learning that I am incredibly selfish in this department. If something is my idea or fits perfectly into my schedule, I am all for it. But if hanging out means I have to rearrange things, miss time with my family, stay up later than normal or get out of my comfort zone, I am not as cool with it. Thus, the goal for the new year.
6. I am really depressed that my book series (The Yada Yada Prayer Group and the Yada Yada House of Hope series) are done. Like, really depressed. I feel like I have no closure from good friends who moved away without warning. I need a movie. Or like 5 more books. Hmm...I wonder if there is a correlation between this nerdy side of me (getting too attached to book characters) and my issues stated in #5.
7. Finally, I have done AWESOME saving money so far! I am killing it in the coupon department, especially at Target. Today, I triple stacked coupons and save like $4.50 on toilet paper. I was seriously excited. Also, I scored 3 boxes of Multigrain Cheerios for .88 a piece. I was so proud of myself I made Jonathan and Matthew give me high fives. Yes, I will FORCE my kids to be proud of my skills. Mama needs a minivan.
Hope you guys all had a great week! And what the heck? Hardly ANYBODY gave me money saving tips. I know you guys have some....hook a girl up!!!
