Ate it!

Wednesdays.  They are so busy!  I picked Maddie up from school an hour early so that she and Izzy could have more time to play at the house before dance.  It's always a big chore to get them out the door to pick Logan up from therapy.  I know it's partly because they don't have much play time at the house before we have to leave.  It's so funny how super easy and well the girls play together at home, but transition and car times are so difficult.  It seems like there is an argument over everything.  Wrong cheese, wrong milk, wrong seat, etc etc.

So after picking Logan up from therapy and dropping the girls off at dance I manged to step off of the curb and totally eat it.  My 'bad' ankle twisted and I went down hard.  My only thought was 'please God don't let this be broken because I don't know how I will function if I can't workout for a month.'  No joke.  And then I thought 'I will be stuck at home because there is no way I can take Logan out without being able to chase after him.'  Luckily after the initial painful minutes I realized that it wasn't as bad as I thought and that I could walk on it.  I have some lovely pain in both my ankle and knee tonight, but as Brian lovingly reminded me-I'm getting old.

Brian's POS car is in the shop yet again.  I have a few 4 letter words for that heap of garbage.  Especially awesome after I just dropped $1350 at therapy today.  But at least I got this gem of an art project from Logan out of it:

Yep, he loves Maddie.  Pretty darn cute.

We had Isabel's school conference yesterday.  She is doing great and ready for Kindergarten next year.  Someone please please please slow down time!  I can't take it!  Her family portrait (that they apparently spent a lot of time working on) included Grandma.  There were 6 people, so I think Viv was in there too, although she didn't write her name out.  Her Valentine's Day party is tomorrow and I totally dropped the ball with the Valentines.  I forgot to have her write out the names and sign them.  Oh well.  I'll have her do what she can in the morning and finish the rest myself.

Never letting them eat here again.  Floor was a huge mess.  It was taco bar night.

Trying to entertain ourselves

Today has got to be one of the least productive days ever.  School was cancelled for today last night.  We weren't scheduled to get 'winter weather' until around 8 or 9am, so I went to my 5:30am spin class as usual.  Came home showered and promptly put on sweats for a day of cleaning and organizing.  And then I didn't.  I had zero motivation.  The sleeper sofa was still out from last night and it looked so warm and cozy that I put on a movie around 10 and fell asleep for about 3 minutes.  I woke up to Logan whispering 'spider' to me while tickling my arms.  Haha.

I signed up for the ABC Mouse Early Learning Academy (online lessons and stuff).  It came in handy with Isabel today.  She was on the computer doing lessons for about an hour.  Logan has a profile too, but he still needs tons of help using the mouse, so I just sit next to him and do the lessons with him.

Chicken nuggets and carrots for lunch?  Check.  Pizza for dinner?  Check.

I did end up taking a couple of bags over to Goodwill just to get out of the house.  No ice where we are.  Roads were fine despite this picture this morning.

Can someone tell me the difference between freezing drizzle and sleet?

So in conclusion, I did nothing today and I'm exhausted because of it.  The end.

Winning at life.  Dominating.  Oversized sweats?  Yes please!  Greasy hair?  Ok!  Giant pimple on the forehead?  No problem!  Gig 'em Aggies!  That's an old E Walk sweatshirt if you're an Aggie.

Because every sink needs two different kinds of hand soap (foam and non foam) and a random toothbrush.

I don't know.  When the boredom sets in they like to rearrange furniture and make new 'paths' around the house.

Isabel is not impressed.

Huh?

I just got an email that AISD cancelled classes for tomorrow.  Why?  There is like a 10% chance of sleet /ice.  Why not a 2 hour delay lime today?  I'm so confused!

Love these little turds

So last night Brian once again pulled an all-nighter.  He actually came to bed around 4am and attempted to sleep until 6:30 or so.  Anytime after 3am is hit or miss as to which one of our kids is going to wake up and 'need' us.  I think they both woke up twice.  Brian has been snoring like a freaking crazy person lately.  Actually I'm not sure if crazy people snore  or not, but it makes me BSC (bat shit crazy) listening to him saw logs.  Since I felt bad for him, working 21 1/2 hour days and all, I decided to not knock his teeth out and slept in the guest room from 4 am on.  He must have appreciated it because after the 2nd Logan wake up he came and gave me a huge silent hug.

I did it!!!

I'm a winner in the diet bet!  Gotta admit, I really didn't think I was going to make it.  I ran 9 miles yesterday (1.5 here, and the rest while both kids were at school), it was really rushed, and ate cabbage soup.  Not super healthy, but I really wanted to win!  The final amounts to be paid out won't be verified until probably next  week, but I know I at the very least will get the $25 I put in to play back.

Woohoo!

Isabel's sword and shield.

Turkey, Jelly, Butter, Cheese, Honey Sandwiches

Did anyone else fall asleep during the Super Bowl or was it just me?  Disappointing.  We did our annual 'have a Subway sandwich picnic' in front of the TV while watching the game.  Tank decided he wanted in and grabbed Logan's sandwich while he walked away.  That dog cracks me up.  He only bothers to wake up for food or to pee on the floor.

I totally bribed Isabel and Logan at Target today and told them they could have a small toy if they were good.  I HATE shopping with both of them.  It worked!  I had a good 30 minutes of looking around without screaming, fighting kids.

Isabel picked out a "Frozen" accessory kit and Logan picked out this crazy $2 Toy Story toy that does this holographic image of Buzz Lightyear-or something.  It was actually pretty awesome and only mildly annoying with the sounds.

I know the car seat isn't harnessed.  Don't worry, we were parked.

Logan's lunch by request.  Super gross.  He ate it though!

Frozen Sing Along

I was all excited to go to the 'Frozen' sing along at the Alamo Drafthouse this weekend.  I walked upstairs with a coffee cup and my wallet in hand and went to buy tickets for tomorrow's show.  It was sold out!  No!  I quickly realized that we could go to any other theater and do the sing along thing, but they wouldn't have delicious food and maybe a glass of wine or a beer to go with the vocal stylings of IJM.  I bought tickets to a show at a 'regular' theater for today.  I was expecting it to be packed.  It was not.  It was in a huge theater and there were maybe 20 people there.  Perfect!  There weren't as many kids as expected for a Disney movie sing along, but it was still fun.  Logan was signing and Izzy was shy.  She finally got into it for "Let it Go" or "The Snow Glows White on the Mound Tonight" as she calls it.  It was fun.  The movie is really cute and I was excited to see it again.  Edited to add:  I just realized I typed 'signing' rather than 'singing.'  It made me laugh.

Seeing the movie is absolutely all we've done this weekend.  I did my usual Saturday gym routine and came home to eat ground beef and tomatoes.  I'm doing the cabbage soup diet because I'm doing a dietbet (the online game) and it ends on Wednesday.  I really want to win.  To win you just have to lose 4% of your body weight in 4 weeks.  I was 1/2 a lb away last week and then after having some pizza and a couple of beers I was back to almost where I started!  So, now I'm back to being 1 lb away.  It'll be close!  I hate the weekends for dieting!  They can really derail all of your hard work during the week.

Tomorrow we plan to clean and hopefully get at least a closet or two cleaned out and then watch the super bowl.  Go Denver!  I can't wait for the commercials!  It's hard to make yourself not try and fast forward through the commercials!
