Wow.
Crappy Weekend.... It's my own damn fault. I worked for the garden center 12 hours on Saturday and 13 hours on Sunday

I should have known better and it wouldn't have been nearly as bad as it felt if I could have gone home to my own bed both nights and my 'space' and my own empty kitchen.

But I was doing double duty and staying with the younger brothers at night while my parents were out of town. They don't really need a sitter but it is safer having an adult around....

The big problem is that the kids are obviously eating machines and I know all you Moms out there are old hats at this but I don't have to deal with 'kid' food on a daily basis. After a long day at the store with no breaks and only sneaking a few 'good' snacks between customers I would arrive home starving and with no preparation (again, my fault). I would then proceed to dive into whatever the boys had prepared... er, um... ordered

Papa Johns one night..... General Tso's the next.

So here we are into a new week and no further ahead than last Friday. argh.

I am also getting sidetracked with missing the hubby. It should be motivation but as of late it has become a reason to not care about daily routines. It's a miracle that I have kept up with my exercise regime without Matty around but I am not THAT pathetic

Today is going well and with any luck I should pull out of the slump and save some of the downward spiral in time for Thursday and Matty day!!

Matt's last email said that he was really enjoying the new and different surroundings I got to thinking.... Gee, I hope that me yapping about missing him doesn't take away from his experiences.... I can be such a numskull. My poor hubby is trying to make the best of being away from home.... discovering and exploring and figuring out where to do his laundry and all I can manage to do when we talk is whine like a 2 yr old. Sorry Babe! I really do want you to have fun!!


love to all
I miss you Matty....
