Weekends are made for......

surely not Michelob. (Probably dating myself with that reference)

Weekends are lately lots of running around, with little sense of accomplishment.

Friday night - wife working out of town, took the boys to Culvers (thank god the 13 yr old likes the kids meal) then to Target to raid the clearance gum section. Might have to head back there and get some more. Home in time to watch "Flashpoint" on CBS., it was about bullies and we've had some challenges there - so I made it a semi-teachable moment.

Saturday - Soccer game then two and a half hours of driving for a meeting that lasted less than 90 mins. The meeting was okay, but I'm regretting spending the time and gas to go there. Wife finished working out of town - she got home exhausted at 8:00.

Sunday - Church / 1st Communion service - then out of town for soccer game. Get home, got the lawn mower running and mowed some of the lawn. More wrestling with the broken garage door - I have to find someone that can fix it. Then I grilled burgers and made corn on the cob.
The daughter was going to come, but she can't find her new phone / Blackberry and was stressing to the point of almost crying.

Concluded the weekend by falling asleep on the couch - I'm doing that a lot lately.

What did I accomplish ?? Not much, still need to complete Financial Aid application. Yard needs plenty of TLC, and got zero items listed on ebay. Plus I ate horrible all weekend and probably put a couple pounds back on.

Oh well, tommorrow (which is now today) is another day.

As Dori says in Finding Nemo "Just keep swimming !!"

  1. Hi I am trying to lose weight too. I weigh in at about 230 lbs . I tacked a piece of bristol board up in my bathroom. I drew a grid on it, put pounds across and days of the month up and down.I mark my weight every day, well mostly every day. I would like to say I've lost thousands of pounds this way,but I can't. It does seem to help to keep my weight from trending upward.

    I find cleaning up areas in my house tremendously rewarding. I cleaned up my home office today, well put away all the books anyway
    I read alot... currently reading What would google do by Jeff Jarvis
    Keep up the good work... things will get better
