I here, and I'm checking in. That is one goal I accomplished. The rest of it has been a train wreck! Maybe not that bad. My numbers aren't too bad, but I worked on assignments instead of exercising tonight, and I didn't remember my vitamins, and it is nearly midnight and I still need to start a load of laundry so the sleep thing isn't going to happen.
Rant
So far this week, I found out my DS is failing language arts (but I talked to him about it tonight, and am feeling diplomatic and solution focused for tomorrow's meeting. We're going to revise his IEP). I also finally nagged my mother into going to a doctor. She fell several weeks ago and has been having debilitating back pain. Turns out she fractured a vertebrae. But the icing on the cake this week was the accusation that I am having an "emotional affair" with an ex-boyfriend. The accusation is from his wife and not my DH who is completely unconcerned. I haven't talked to my ex in 18 years, but we've been messaging back and forth on Facebook and now that somehow constitutes an affair.
I think that stress has been a huge factor this week, but I intend to rally this weekend.

Okay. I'm all packed (well, except what I'm waiting on in the dryer, but that shouldn't be too much longer). I even have lunch packed for work tomorrow AND my travelin' clothes all ready to change into when I get home. Now I'm ready to go! BUT! I have to work tomorrow first. UGH!!!! I'll weigh in before I leave, may even snap a picture so no one says I'm cheating 
I'm not real sure how much I'll check in after tomorrow afternoon. But I am taking my laptop, and the hotel has free WiFi, so I may be sober enough to check in a time or two. No promises though 
Y'all have a great weekend! I'm gonna go do my eyebrows and toenails, by then the dryer should be a buzzin'!

Tori. Enjoy your holiday, did I miss where you are off to? Wherever it is have a great time.
Off for some culture today at a local art gallery and craft fair and then we head for the city and our overnight stay with dinner at a lovely restaurant. BF is putting me to shame by having already done an hour on the cross trainer at 08:00 this morning. I am going to buy a Zumba tape today as dancing seems to be the only exercise I can get excited about.
Have to call my son to check that he fed the cat last night, I know that there is another cat sneaking in through the cat flap and eating his munchies at night when Henri is sleeping up in my room and it's much stealthier and quieter than old Henri Thunderpaws who sounds like a herd of wildebeest coming through the back door.

almeeker ~ On de-cluttering: One thing I do is keep a "give away" box. So as I go about my day, I can put things into that box. When the box is full, then I take care of it. But still, I've so much to go thru. It seems as if this last year the 2 girls changed suddenly and are done playing with certain toys. Even in the kitchen, I just got rid of some drinking bottles. Why am I always looking for that perfect drinking bottle????

My goals this week:
1) stop eating so frigging much: N, N, tried strict diet, backfired; somewhat less
2) drink some frigging water for goodness sake:N, a little more but N, Y, Y but even on the Y, should have been more (It's water, put it in a glass or bottle; drink it how hard can this be?)
3) stay on this thread: got on, still here, here, here in spirit (had to bring DD to doctor, fight insurance company on visit and meds, those howling jackals, etc. Do jackals howl BTW?)
4) be a stretchy mama: N, N, Y and Y
