Weekend recap

The weekend was a blur of activities, but I did manage to get some much needed sleep in there also, didn't want a repeat of last weekend. Friday night we were out buying gifts, he found some really great deals so got more than he thought he would, good little shopper he is!! Sat bowling was good, a good friend of ours (who used to daycare ds2) has had a resurgence of her lymphoma and had two nodules removed last week, she is terribly swollen and uncomfortable, no conclusive results on her tests of them yet, so keep her in your prayers (this is round two of this for her). Then onto ds1 football game, it was a 1 point loss, what terrible upset for our boys, they all played so well. Saturday night was a nice dinner at home and relaxing, watched a movie and fell asleep during it!

Sunday was up early, chilly out so it felt great to start on some fall cleaning, got part of the dining room done as well as normal cleaning, wash and grocery shopping all before the 1pm kickoff of the Packers/Giants game. I felt very productive yesterday!! I did weights on Saturday a.m. and no other formal exercise although all the walking and cleaning should add up for something, I did manage to loose another 1.5 lb this week so I'll take it!! The scale is moving slowly down those last 15 the doc wants me to loose and I felt very accomplished and well adjusted by the end of the weekend!

Hope you all enjoyed the fall weather here in the Northeast, it was beautiful!!

I'm a blog slacker

in the biggest way I know. There is no excuse either because I was off from work until last Friday!! Anyhow, I went for my 2 1/2 week checkup, 20lb gone forever. The weight is slowly or rapidly however you feel getting off!! yeah I'm wearing clothes I haven't worn in years, that's a great feeling.

Had a good weekend, Eagles won, Saints demolished the Cowboys, and the Bears play tonight!! Good luck Bears. Next week is the big one, Eagles/Giants, to determine the wildcard, they are tied so we are down to the wire!

I'm all decorated for Christmas but no shopping is done as of yet, of course as usual it will be a last minute affair for me. I hate waiting but have no choice this year. Of course dh is laid off, since the night of surgery, bad timing but he's getting a good unemployment from PA vs DE so that's not too shabby, of course the bad thing you have to wait two weeks to get it! Always something.

Well that's about it for today....

Waiting impatiently....

to hear from the doctors for my approval. She said she submitted the forms on Friday last and should hear in 2-3 days. Hello it's Wednesday now so we are on day three. I wish they would just call for pete's sake so I can move on in mind and mentally prepare for this! I am to arrive at the hospital at 3pm on Monday, not quite sure how I am going to make it through the day without drinking or eating, but it's a must!! I has to happen. Other than that I've been busy at work, tying up odds and ends in preparation for being out for two weeks. We've also finished football, team had an unfortunate 1-9 season. Better luck next year boys!!

Sports

I never wanted to become one of those mother's who ran their kids to death with sports and after school activities, but this year it seems to me that I've bit off more than I can chew right now. I have one who is playing Varsity and JV football, so that requires 5 day a week practice on top of the two games a week he attends and plays in. So all in all we are running 6 days for him. They the other one has afterschool everyday and then Sat morning bowling. UGH is all I can say right now. Tonight is a Friday Night Lights game away, it doesn't start until 7pm and that means we'll be home around 11 -11:30pm tonight. Then I am up again tomorrow at 7am so we can be at bowling at 8:30. After that I have my weekend "free" as they say but then I have wash, cleaning and groceries to do. I feel like I'm just too spread thin some days!

Then tomorrow after bowling we will get home around noonish and he will want to go out and eat or "do" something, I will be thoroughly exhausted and forget it. Then he whines, you never want to do anything, well help me for pete's sake. Right now there are clothes in the dryer, clean dishes in the washer and the sink is full of dirty ones. I am one person and cannot do everything! Repeat, cannot do everything. I have the oldest ds down there routing through clothes to get "what he needs" and is too much of a hurry to bring up the rest of them. So they sit and will remain there until I get around to it.

Seems like this post is turning into a bit of a bitch session, but it's my blog, if I want to bitch then I will damnit!! lol

So the big news for the weekend around our parts is TO is coming back to town to play his old team. Whoppee is what I say about it. Granted he is a good player but everything else he does and says who cares, I'm just plain sick of it. I hope the Eagles putting a pounding on the Cowgirls and send them home with their tails between their legs. Speaking of football, I would love to see another Bears game televised. Although they are usually few and far between they have a great team this year, really seem to be jelling and if things continue, I can see them going all the way to the Super Bowl. Good luck Bears!!

Oh and wls news, well I received a call from the doc's office Wed night, they indicated that they will be in network (for insurance purposes) through 12/15 right now. So they scheduled my EGD test 10/23 and now I have to complete everything and get the surgery done sooner than I wanted. No problem with me, maybe with work, but it will have to do. I want this done and don't want to loose my opportunity since the insurance is up in the air. Once I have it, I will worry about everything else later.


So I'm off now, to try and enjoy the blaance of this rainy Friday. Hopefully things will run smoother than I expect this weekend.
