Luxury Living

So today I got home and took a quick nap (then ran to the dentist to have my temp crown put back on--not part of the luxury living--a side note), then went to the gym for a workout.  Could have sat in the sauna, didn't, but did grab a sample peanut butter chocolate protein drink on the way out to the cool sunshine.  Drove home with the windows down.  Cooked black and white pizza in my new kitchen while watching hgtv.  Ate said pizza and melted dark chocolate on strawberries while sitting at the kitchen island with the sliding door open AND having a conversation on facebook chat with all three kids at the same time!  Then ran a hot bath and relaxed while playing comtemporary Christian music on the cable station.  Now blogging and think I'll move on to a little Pinterest.  And let the pups sit on my lap.  Oh, wait, I'll go sit in the luxurious new room!

Order

I love love love weekends. Not just because I can relax and catch up on sleep, but because I put my life back into order. All week I do what I need to--the small amount of dishes that Scott and I make, put things back I have used, stuff like that. But on weekends, I love to make a to do list and take care of all the little things that I have neglected all week. For example, Scott's clock in the bedroom has been flashing all week. I could have taken the 2 minutes it would take to reset it, but I ignore it all week then do things like that on the weekends. So by Sunday night when I relax before bed and then get up Monday morning to face the week, the trash is out, the fridge is full, the meals are planned, the house is clean, all is in order and I can take on the world and anything it throws my way. Its not that I freak if things aren't in order, I just really like the feeling of order. So....gotta go make my to do list! Have a great weekend!

Such a Great Life

I have such a great life. After a good day at work yesterday, I drove home singing along to KLove with the windows wide open and the sun shining. I got home and the pups were so excited to see me (since Scott left early for his away game). I changed (love Nike shorts--my uniform) and took a nap with a slight breeze blowing across me. I had a snack (tricuits and cream cheese) and checked my facebook then went to my amazing gym. I timed my arrival late into fit ball class just as they finished their lunges and squats:). I did that class then advanced step (so fun!) and half of the abs class--no point in doing too many! It was still sunshiny and warm when I drove home from the gym. I made dinner for myself then played on the computer and watched The Voice and Love It or List It on HGTV (tivod) in my new room. I took a break to take the tape off the sliding door in my new kitchen--looks great. I love the new floors and how this house is turning out. I took a bath in my lovely tub. I did that again tonight and had my dessert--dark chocolates. Today was also a good day at work (some hard kids have moved so things are a bit calmer lately) so I had my nap and went to my favorite work out--total body circuit. Tonight I just wanted popcorn for dinner. Then I played on pinterest for about two hours! Tomorrow I teach FCA then after work I run over to JC to watch Scott's soccer game. This really is a great life. Happy Spring!

This week

Most of this week was spent getting used to the real world after spending the previous week in paradise:). 6 am comes super early and then I was thrown right into the wonderful world of middle school with drugs and underage sex and drama, conflict, raging blow ups and tons of stupidity. For example, a new kid came to tell me someone tried to ask for drugs and while he was talking to me, a kid brought him his phone number and it was the kid! Right under my nose! And a new kid has the girls falling all over him and he is dating at least 6 girls at the same time so drama, drama, drama, except with one of my clients....I went to warn her and she said it was fine with her. Also at work, I'm gearing up for the retirement of Nancy with whom I have worked super closely for all 9 years... and Ann with whom I have worked more than 20 years, and Gayle, whom I will also miss. Too much change!

At home, the house is wonderful and I am feeling spoiled. We still have lots to paint but I can go soak in my tub when my muscles ache and I can walk around on my new shiny floors and go sit in our relaxing new room. We gave each other back rubs while lying on our new carpeting and we could put our faces right on the carpet with no bad odors! Friday night we had a team party here and the girls loved the house. The house worked really well and will only be better with the deck! This thing is rolling right along and I can see the actual end of it now! Only need the front door, the bedroom sheetrocked and painted, the bedroom and hall floors done and the deck (oh and the front portico and siding, etc) but that is it!

Yesterday I got Adelle and we washed the car and trimmed bushes, ran a few errands, and cooked burgers out.

Well, back to the painting since I have the sliding door off! Then I will reward myself with olive oil popcorn for dinner:). yum... Have a good week!
