DID you have a Happy Tuesday??

It's about 10pm at night...and I JUST ran on the treadmill for the FIRST time in about a week.  My weight is UP 1.8 pounds!  Seriously.  I just need someone to sneeze on me and give me the flu to kick start this weight loss.   BUT...because I'm such a germ-a-phobe...I probably won't get the flu and I'll have to shed the pounds the old fashioned way.
hmmm....that just stinks!

I DID not make a menu plan this week...but, I did cook enough to feed us for the week yesterday. 
Spaghetti, tacos, and a TURKEY.  (well, you know that I have a ton of turkeys in my freezer!)
It'll be leftovers and inventive dishes until I see mold start to grow!

Shopping for today....NONE!  I did go to Walgreens...but, it was to pick up Isaac's FIVE meds, and one for me.  Only shelled out the cash for the co-pays and I didn't buy anything else.
Bravo!

I didn't achieve any of my goals of sewing or cleaning or organizing....but, little man just fell asleep and hubby is at church playing basketball...so, I might take a quick soak in the bathtub and pick up a FEW clothes that seem to be piling up in my room.

While I was running on the treadmill tonight, I watched the Monday episode of Oprah.  It was actually really good.  They were talking about organizing your life, making priorities...just good info to incorporate in your life...if you can.  That's one problem I have...organization.  I LOVE an organized house...I just can't seem to get ours in that state.  My neighbor just asked if I'd like to join her in a yard sale...and I think that JUST might be one way to force me to purge and get rid of things and organize what's left.  I'll keep you updated on that...we'll try to schedule it in the next few weeks! (not to brag or anything...but, the weather lately in Vegas has been LOVELY....mid 60s....just perfect yard sale weather!)

SO...as much as I LOVE you guys...I'm trying to limit computer time and get cracking on my house. 
(oh...and my resume...I've decided to start seriously looking for a job to help out with the bills).
wish me luck!

Tuesday...and I suppose I should report my progress.
Well...I have NOT finished making my 2010 goals.
I did NOT run on the treadmill today.

BUT...I also did NOT go shopping at any stores...not even to get $0.49 Cheerios (even though I had all my coupons printed out).

I am playing around on WordPress....SO addicting!  I did work on physical therapy with my toddler ALL day long.  I was a good wife and did laundry, cleaned the house, car pooled, and made dinner (ok, heated up leftovers...).   BUT...all is well in our household. 

I suppose I just need to make daily goals for myself...and we'll see if I'm better at accomplishing them that way.  So, for Wednesday, I'd like to get the following checked off my list:

• Clean MY shower (you do NOT want to know how yucky that thing is!)
• Make a new tutu for my Etsy Store (shameless plug, but I do need to sell more ...hint, hint)
• Get my Christmas tutus OFF my Etsy Store
• Put all laundry away
• Call Home Health supply company for new equipment needs
• Mop the floor downstairs
• Stick to Menu Plan and make Chili for dinner
• Call about newspapers...which STILL have NOT been delivered
• Keep working on physical therapy with the cutest toddler EVER
  
• RUN on that darn treadmill

I think that if I can accomplish all that tomorrow...and keep myself busy and out of stores spending money...we'll be A OK.   What do you NEED to do tomorrow to get yourself caught up??  And...how are those 2010 goals going for YOU???

Ok....I thought I'd document my days at the end (if I can remember to do so).  Kind of like my "Day in Review".  How did I do?  Did I stick to my plans?  Did I do all the things on my list for the day?
YOU be the judge...

OR...let me just help you out.
First...I DID stick to my Menu Plan and made the family enchiladas for dinner.
I DID NOT however, stick to my "eat from the pantry plan".  Well, I got the chicken from the freezer, and the tortillas from the fridge...BUT, I needed sour cream and enchilada sauce from the grocery store (and I already had enchiladas on the brain...SO...i HAD to go to Vons)

Where...I then proceeded to look at the sales ad and grab a few other necessities that i HAD to have.  Milk (3 gallons), bread (because it was only $0.99) I got 2 (I make the kids lunches), lunchables (I got 5...this is just cheating for me...I just got bread, I can make his lunch, I just know how much he LOVES lunchables and I get to sleep in five extra minutes), Butterball turkey (it was FREE....they sent me a coupon), cheese slices (they were only $1.49 each), cheese shredded (they were on sale for $3.99, and the more cheese would make the enchiladas even better).
Let me just stop right there.
I DID spend $50 at Vons...that's what I told myself that I would spend each week...EXCEPT, today in only Monday!

My name is Kathy and I have a shopping problem.
there.
said it....again.

BUT...I didn't stop there.

My sister and I also went to Walgreens.  I spent $16 out of pocket and got back ONE DOLLAR in register rewards. BUT, in my defense on that one, they had reading glasses B1G1 free...and hubby needed a pair.  I snagged one pair for only $9.99, and got a second pair for FREE...but, I did spend $6 additional dollars on reynolds wrap (3), covergirl powder (on clearance...got it for only $0.29 each..so, i got 2), Dishwashing solutabs, peanut butter and jelly (for those sandwiches for lunch).

and here I am making a shopping list for Staples.  BUT, is it ok if I go to Staples...because I'll get that money back in rebates...or, should I just stay home for the remainder of the week for punishment??
decisions, decisions...

I DID read some sweet comments from you guys....and hopped my happy tail on that treadmill.  And...even though it takes me 16 minutes to get to a mile...I'm trudging right along...and even though I ate a chocolate oatmeal cookie only minutes after getting off...I DID IT!

I need to think about tomorrow...my goals, my Staples trip....and I was even thinking about hitting up CVS.  (maybe someone should hide my debit card, and the kids piggy banks!)
