a long day

We had a nice long weekend of play. I took the kids to the pool. They loved it. Goldfish even talked me into going "swimming" with them. So we went in the 3-4 ft water (approx 9-12 meters). The three of us together and no one drowned so that was good. Cheese was still feeling a bit icky from his shots he got on Friday.

By the time Monday rolled arround the house was trashed. Oh well. I still must master the "clean as you go" thing. But tonight I got caught up on dishes. This is my kitchen clean. I wish I was a door shutter. But some how I just can't get the hang of taking the two seconds to shut the doors doesn't occur to me. Since I am short enough not to bang my head on them... well no physical reminders. But at least my sink in shiny and I don't have too many dishes to put away in the morning when I "unload" my dishwasher.

I have got to find a way to cook and have the kids around. it's just so hard in my kitchen. I feel like I am stepping on myself let alone if anyone is with me! I need to declutter under my counter so that ONLY the trash is there (as if it ever stays there!) Maybe Cheese would be happy with his music center under there. But I'd still have to find away to get Goldfish not to get out, open, and stand on my step stool. He doesn't understand that there isn't a good place for him to watch where he isn't in the way. Any of my un-talkative readers have an idea? You could always give ideas in the "friendly thoughts" part. OK OK I know I'm just begging for feedback. I'm done now.

Today the boys went to daycare half the day to give them a chance to get a good nap as they both have colds. Cheese napped for a couple of hours. It was good for him. Goldfish... only naps with dad. So I had a lot of complaining and whining (which I didn't respond too) but it frayed my nerves to raw after about an hour. Tomorrow they stay all day. I think I will drop by as tomorrow is water day. :)

I also managed to go on my first interval walk for 40 minutes. It was nice I did a good job and made it. I have also weighed myself on my new scale. I have lost 10 lbs since December. That's not bad for not trying. Since September I lost 15 pounds. I'm finally past loosing baby weight, and down to loosing Burger King weight. I am going to work hard this summer and get in shape and maybe even need a new wardrobe when school starts next year. That's my goal anyway.
