It is Mid February already, and now I am sure that January is the longest month of the year.
Things have been going good here. The kids got their progress reports this week and looks like everyone is doing GREAT, however Chris did not lift the groundings and Kyle was dissapointed, but he took it like a man. It sure makes you mad that he can do real good when he wants to, so why does he slack off and make so bad knowing he will be grounded until report cards come again. I will never understand kids, lol. I know when I was in school I always knew what my average was in a class and what I needed to make to put my average where I wanted it. It just seems today kids just take whatever they get and don't really have a clue what they have until too late.
I have been busy as a bee this week, I have been trying to build new habits in my house cleaning and using the Wii to get more exercise. I have really been getting into surfing BLOGS and I have run across a couple sites that I wish I had known about when my kids were small. Check them out if you are interested, they are www.flylady.net and www.housefairy.org. It may seem kinda silly to some, but it really does work. I just wish I had more time to be home and work the system, lol. I am basically building new house cleaning habits and routine for when I am retired so I can keep my house clean and have more time to do the things I want. This is working good for me and I am not working myself that hard. This week I have cleaned my sink and made it shine and kept it shiny all week and I also have started building the habit of swish and swipe in my bathroom every morning after I get dressed for work, takes just a couple minutes and my bathroom looks like it was just cleaned every day. I have decluttered and organized under my kitchen sink, bathroom sink, the junk drawer that everyone has in the kitchen, straightened all the kitchen cabints and cleaned the kitchen garbage can. I actually feel like I am gaining control of my house again, lol. Next week my focus is on the Master bedroom, I have already done a lot of decluttering in there last month but I am hoping that Pat will get interested in his areas, before I do, lol.
I carried Kyle, Blake and Brooke shopping today for Chris. Blake had a blowout in a pair of pants this week and Brooke had one in her shoes. Chris had to work today so I went shopping on his money, lol. Kyle got 2 pair pants and a shirt, Blake got 3 pair shorts and Brooke got a pair of shoes, then we ate lunch at Pizza Inn.
There is still no progress on the lakehouse, not sure what is going on but seems it will be at least 2 more weeks before we will get any work done. :(
I will be in training for the next 2 weeks and I so dread it, lol. Training is usually just 1 week, but they have some special stuff for us, lol. :( I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on this traing stuff. In fact I am hoping this will be the last time I have to go, legally I could miss my training in April and not be delinquet before I retire, lol. I kinda doubt they will let me do that but I am going to try.
