Dealing with chaos!

What a week!  Got 3 new fires again last week.  On the road a lot.  Deposition for an old claim at attorney's office last week.  (always fun!)  Lots of noise- hammering, banging, vacuum, loud music, screaming between Paul and everyone else (especially and including David.)  Cooking- have to go to foyer to get food our of refrig.  Have to go to laundry room to get pots and pans.  Walk to dining room to get utensils and stuff.  back and forth to various rooms.  Washing dishes in laundry tub.  Can't find anything.  With all the chaos, poor Kona is even more wrapped around my legs.  Dust everywhere.  Flooring not delivered, still.  Now delaying things again at least another 2 weeks!  Cabinets to be delivered, will have to be put in garage, family room and any other available space and will sit for weeks!  UGH!!!!  And the summer cold, not bad but just another thing I have to deal with. 
Friday night we got  a call from David's friend's grandparents that David was out running around at night.  Paul says, "No he's not.  He's in bed."  Goes and checks.  Sure enough, David was gone, out the window.  I was up ALL night.  He did not come home until 6am.  Supposedly over friends until then playing Xbox.  He was just about to get off 30 day grounding for stealing the hat.  Thank God he goes back to school tomorrow.
4 weeks of no smoking.  Mom came down yesterday.  I had a nice time/visit.  We went to the Total Wine & More store.  (You need a map/directions in this store it is so big.)  We went to Charcoal Pit for dinner- the best hamburger, fries and ice cream sundaes!  YUM!  I ate well the rest of the day, so my calories weren't great, but not over.  My steps have been great.  Averaging over 11,000 per day for this month.  Saturday, I did 20,000.  I am just about 50% of the way done Wii Walk It Out again.  I am so addicted to that game.  I also got the Wii Golds Gym Dance Workout.  Wow!  6 minutes and I am whooped!  It is very fast, latin dance and cardio boxing!  It also has mini games, like canoeing.  If I do the canoeing while sitting on the balance ball, it works my arms and core!
I am so behind at work and need to refocus.  I also need to get back on track with eating.  Paul and his friend took up subfloor in kitchen and sanded down the humps.  Flooring guy stopped by and said all ok.  So praying that flooring is delivered this week.  Has to sit for a week before installation.  Praying this happens next week!  Dr appt on 9/1 to review meds.  Going to tell him about how tired I am with the Lexapro.

First - Kudos on the not smoking!
Great exercise too...great way to release stress and Whoa you have tons of it!
Sorry but I had to smile about David sneaking out of the house...I had 4 kiddos and they did it! One night my son got stuck on the roof of the porch and couldn\'t get down...that slowed him down for a while. LOL I don\'t want to relive the raising teens years again!
