Looking Forward to the Weekend
Yeah, and it’s only Monday. What can I say? It’s just that I finally start making headway on getting the house in order on weekends, only to have to stop and go to my job on Monday — the job that keeps that roof over my head. By the time the weekend rolls around again, I’ve lost ground and I have to pretty much start over.
We got a lot done this weekend, but the laundry’s still not folded — sorted into manageable piles, but not folded. The paperwork is still all over the living room. And the kids’ playroom is a mess. I’ll work some on it tonight. I have to write three articles tonight, and I need to fold at least one pile of clothes — I’d like to get the kids’ jeans and shirts done.
I did get the new mattress covers and fresh bed linens on all of the beds in the house. With the kids’ bunk beds, that was no easy task. My full bed was a lot easier.
We went shopping on Saturday afternoon. Got a lot of errands run and still got home in time to clean a bit in the house. And I found a lovely new black-and-grey striped sweater that’s great for the office, and a new black cardigan that is very classy looking. It makes a nice, professional, and comfortable ensemble. I love TJ Maxx.
I ate a lot of really horrible stuff this weekend — pizza, gelato, hot mocha, chocolates — but so far I haven’t gained any weight. I’m going to work hard this week to keep that from happening, and I’m going back to being very strict on my diet. I’m happy that the weight is coming off. I just wish it’d go a bit faster. Still, 13 pounds in 6 weeks isn’t bad. It ain’t great, but it ain’t bad.
