Only a Day?

I feel like the last 24 hours has been forever. Leaving off from yesterday, after NOT getting a nap cuz Katy peed in my bed, I started the afternoon pick up and had dinner ready by 3 pm. The boys had a soccer game and two kids had play practice. That left me not home anywhere around dinner time. I told everyone to just help themselves whenever they felt like it. I dropped the boys off at their game then went to the dollar store, to which I have not been in years. What fun! I didn't get a cart since I was just 'browsing', but soon I had an armful. I noticed a stack of the little baskets with a sign that said "Take one...You'll need it!" I sure did. I kept telling myself to be reasonable and not buy crap. When I got done checking out, he says to me "$10.84." Seriously?? I thought I had grabbed much more than that. The beautiful part is that I walked away with 3 Christmas presents, all the stuff I needed for pack meeting and the stuff I needed for Bunko. (not my gift, I'm not Elaine!) I was quite pleased. Went to the game and watched them win their 4th game in a row. Took Nick home, picked up Chelsey and then took Stephen to play practice. While we waited for practice to get over, Chelsey and I looked for homecoming dresses. That time again!

We agree on very little. I try to not let it bug me, but she can be really difficult sometimes. I decided to not put my 2 cents in and just let her buy what she wanted as long as the price was right and it was appropriate. $23 seems right and the dress is really cute. Of course, she needs a shrug to go over it since they don't make dresses with sleeves anymore. Very frustrating. We shopped for a little purse to go with it, but couldn't find one anywhere. Picked up the kids and finally made it home by about 8 pm.

I was very ready for everyone to head to bed. I found on my DVR that some station is airing a repeat season of TBL. I decided to watch it as well so I could actually watch it a few days a week. I jumped on the treadmill to walk while I watched. Only got about 2 miles in, but at least it's something. What it really was was a bad idea. I slept like crap. I couldn't go to sleep or stay asleep when I finally did doze off. Hence, tons of crazy dreams all night. While trying to go to sleep, I was so hungry and just wanted to eat. Of course, about every other commercial is for some really gooey food item. But I made it through and did not give in. It's just these first few days that are rough. My body will get used to it again, I just have to be strong. My scale is already dropping so that helps.

This morning I spent almost 2 hours trying to figure out this coupon sense things. It's very confusing at first. I think I'm getting the hang of it, but right now it's rather time consuming. Tonight I will go to Fry's and reap some of the rewards. I'll let you know after that if it was worth it! Another soccer game tonight but right now I just want a nap!
