Let's Play Catch Up

Friday was absolutely wonderful. The weather was beautiful. I raked 10 more bags of leaves in the front yard. Still a long way to go with our 30+ trees! But it was a nice upper body work out. I also mopped most of the house with hubby's towel and shimmy method. So I had a decent lower body work out too. I got a lot done.
The cable guy came and told me there was a bird's nest in my cable box outside. That's what was screwing with my DVR signal. Luckily, he fixed everything and I didn't have to exchange boxes! So hubby can watch LOST with me when he returns. I am still trying to find a website where I can watch 24 episodes from the beginning of season 8. Will just have to wait for hubby's bootlegged version or catch it on video in a few months.
I did lots of organizing and cleaning on Friday. It was a pretty productive day. We went to Cici's for dinner- all you can eat bad pizza... Well, is there really such a thing as bad pizza? LOL!

Saturday it was soooo cold outside. Drastic, dramatic, dreadful temperature change and it was extremely windy. Pretty much hung out in the house. Got more done. It's coming along nicely, this organization. Not as fast as I'd like but at least moving forward.
I did sneak out when everyone went down for a nap and went to see Repo Men. It was pretty good but the soundtrack was incredible. I really want it.

Sunday morning we woke up to snow. It melted by the end of the day and warmed up just a bit. Watched Ponyo from Blockbuster with the kids. It was a sweet movie. I also watched Armored. It was OK. Bad weather = movies indoors.

Monday I had a rough start. Work was OK but getting everyone back on track after spring break was hard. I was 6 minutes late to work but managed to sneak in as far as I know, unnoticed... The rest of the week I have training 8-5 for the west coast calls we will start taking. I am still kind of upset in a way that we are getting screwed out of the 8 hours of overtime the other class got, but I am glad I don't have to worry about the kids staying late at daycare. And I think I will enjoy some time off the phone. On a positive note, I baked an apple pie tonight and served it with vanilla ice cream. Delicious!

I have been sticking to my meal plans! Only one night of fast food, the pizza. I have been cooking every other night. I bought New Moon and watched it with the girls tonight. I also got the Princess and the Frog DVD and put it away for Bruiser's bday. She has started sucking her thumb over the past couple weeks. Pretty consistently. I am concerned... Maybe it is just a phase though.
I am still spotting. I am hoping I don't have any birth control malfunctions when I do get to meet up with hubby. I think I am just stressing out. Mostly because they aren't telling us the freaking flight dates and times yet so it's difficult to plan this trip to see hubby. I am also hoping that hubby's cousin doesn't back out so I can go without the kids.
I have so much to do. I still haven't filed my taxes for goodness sakes! I am glad to have been able to talk with hubby or instant message with him on a fairly regular basis. Everyone is doing well. The twins are trying to talk and its so cute. Pinky actually asked for the potty. She didn't do anything but I have been sitting her and Bubba up there on the baby seat before bath for the past week or so just to get a habit started. If either one of them does anything, I am going to clap and cheer!
And on that note, I am going to get some sleep. If you are ready this, hubby... You are my inspiration in this whole thing! Keep up the good work! Love you!
