bugged's Journal

Weekend mornings, they are always quiet around here.  The kids sleep and sleep and sleep some more, lol - oh to be young again.  I find the older I get the less sleep I get!

I know my daughter is sleeping - I don't believe my son made it home.  Just as well, he was at a broom ball tournament and I'm sure had a couple of drinks after the game.  I told him when he left to becareful - so I assume he's at a friends. 

Yesterday was another one of those days for me - this has been the first weekend of absolutely no plans I've had for a long time - I seem to do much better when I'm busy, lol - but that's normal isn't it.

I know for sure today - I have to tackle the laundry - no more putting that off!   I started a new book yesterday - so far it's grabbing me and had a difficult time putting it down last night.  I love a good read!

Need to finish my knitting project - it's a Christmas present.   I also have a painting project that I need to get some work done on.  Again I never usually have a shortage of things I need to do - what I lack is the motivation to do it!

I find when I put things off and let things get out of control that is when I start having difficulty with my emotions.  Well at least I can see what's going on, lol. 

Well all I can say is it's another new day!  A day where I need to get things under control again - and that includes my diet - it's when I let things slip - I feel horrible about myself, and what is going on around me - sounds stupid I suppose - but it is what it is.

I've had terrible heartburn this week - and usually when I get stressed  it starts acting up again.   There are a few issues that are bothering me, like the car - somethig seems to be wrong with it grrrrrrrr - my son took it to the garage friday - they checked it out took it for a drive - but said it was fine - I don't know - but it is not fine.  Worried about Christmas of course - I just don't have much money left for Christmas.  It's not like everyone is expecting a lot from me and it really isn't about the value of the gifts anyways - it just bothers me that I can't do what I would like to do.  

My daughter and I are going away around the 21st - we are going to my sister's and then going to the US for some shopping - I've taken some of the money my daughter gives me for her share of things and have had it converted to US $$ - I'll have a little bit to go away with, not much, lol

Oh well - that's life right - the plus side - we have a roof over our head and food on the table.

The ex has made more plans with the kids for this christmas - his family is having a get together around the 13th of Dec - and then he wants the kids to go to his place for boxing day -  That's fine - I have a few days off at Christmas and on boxing day - I may go back to Guelph with my sister for a few days - it beats staying at home and thinking about the kids with their Dad, his GF and her family. 

I know I'll be okay, lol 

I'm back!  It was laundry day here today - a few months ago I told the kids that they are now responsible for their own laundry.  I was away last weekend so I didn't do any last weekend, and neither did they.  My son and daughter got ready this am - and the two of them went to the laundromat - it would have been nice had they asked if I had any, lol - well - that was fine - I said I'll see you there - I knew they both had more than I did - so off they went.  I got my stuff together and off i went - by the time I got there they were both waiting for their laundry in the driers - they both had 4 loads!  I had 3, lol.  I got there and helped each of them fold, and then finished mine.    I had to start letting some of this stuff go - it's time and they are old enough to be more responsible for their own stuff. 

Before I went I had pulled out a roast - everyone is home tonight -so it's family meal time lol - my mom called while I was out - I actually stopped in at their place while she hung up they wanted us to come out for dinner - but I had already taken it out and if I went ahead and cooked it and served it cold - no one would eat it - they have a thing about left overs here.

Just as well I'm tired - I really don't feel like being anywhere - my book is good and i have a knitting project started.

I just finished pulling the left over chicken off of the bones from last night - there is enough chicken left - that it looks like it is chunky chicken salad for tomorrow lunches - they like that.  My daughter has been busy baking - she's made muffins, rice krispie squares as well as a butterscotch/peanut butter marshmallow square - apparently they are tired of cookes.  Well good for them I say!  it saves me money and effort.
