It's Complicated:-) NOT!

What an awesome day. Began with an hour+ walk at 8:30 once the kids were off to school. It was cold, in the 30's????? It felt good though. Then spent the day with my mom filling out app. for her possible new housing. Then did some running around w/ Ericka and mom. Had mom over for dinner and then off to the movie, It's Complicated. Paul and I had already seen it, but I loved it and knew my momma would too....she did. Hayden and Aubs joined us and Paul worked at home on some new oil business. (My J.R.-he he) Great day, great meals, great movie, greatest family!!! Who could ask for more?

4 in a row...going strong!

Up at 5:50 a.m.- packed lunches, folded a load of laundry, emptied dishwasher wished Aubrey well as she left for school. Vacation is over...it's a sad thing, it's been so cold here that I have to admit I was getting used to sleeping in a bit and cuddling up and watching movies. Christmas Holiday was definitely a well needed and appreciated rest. Today started off productive, and ended that way! It has been a good day. After making Hayden breakfast and seeing him off, I got busy in the office. Paul and I rearranged it, cleaned it, went through everything and threw out 3 garbage bags full. I balanced the check book (and trust me that takes awhile, I've let it go lately) then we cleaned up the garage and managed to get all the Christmas stuff to storage. Now I'm relaxing, and hoping to watch a good movie. No such luck, I've channel surfed and out of all my 500 channels I can't find one interesting thing. Ha! I remember the days when I was young and had 4 channels. I could always find something then. What's going on? Is my mind just so over stimulated by this modern world that I can't adjust. Or, is it that TV is really lousey most of the time? I think that's what it is. So anyway I'll get to it...keep me honest...what have I put in my mouth today?
Breakfast: 1 egg scrambled, oatmeal with a little dab of yogurt, fresh blueberries and strawberries. 4 oz. fresh OJ.
Lunch: Bowl of my homemade minestrone and an ezekiel turkey sandwich with fresh basil and tomato.
Dinner: small bowl of my homemade minestrone, 4-5 oz. grilled sirloin steak, and a small caesar salad with tomato and cucumber.
Snack: handfull of blueberries...
LOTS Of water...like always.
Well another good day...was planning to got to gym for strength training but didn't get there. It's okay though I was busy all day and there is tomorrow.
