Halloween weekend 2010

303 & 304

Have a wonderful Halloween!

Be safe. Have fun. Take pictures.

Breathe.

this weekend:

keep up with the daily 7 as much as you can

keep your sense of humor

be nice to your relatives/family

figure out your plan with the candy, and stick to it. I usually let the kids eat whatever they want on Halloween, then they each pick out 10 (or so, whatever is age appropriate)  to keep. The rest goes to the toothfairy.

300!!! I think. right?

300!

I was wrong yesterday. Sara pointed out that it was actually the 299th day yesterday, not the 298th, which makes a lot of sense because when I posted the 2008 flashback thing yesterday on the crockpot site it said that it was day 300 (which again makes sense because 2008 was a leap year).

confused yet?

I totally am. THANK YOU, Sara, for having my back. I really, really appreciate it.

Today:

I’m pooped. We went out for a b-day celebratory dinner last night, and we had super slow service, and the baby is of the age where she does. not. want. to. be. contained. in a highchair at all. Nor does she want to have an inside restaurant voice.

so we got a late bedtime routine, and I was behind in answering email, and so I’m just pooped.

POOPED.

~~insert giggle and a: heehee, she said “poop”~~

daily 7

and that’s it.

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.–
Ralph Waldo Emerson

tuesday! check meal plan, run errands

298

We are fast approaching the 300th day of the year, and I’m realizing it is going to land on my grandpa’s birthday. That’s neat. I wonder if he knows that? Unless it’s a leap year, that should be a natural phenomenon, right?

oh neat! wordpress automatically spelled phenomenom right for me. neat.

Today:

run errands

make sure your meal plan is set. Sunday is Halloween—have your meal plan get you through this day so you’re not at the store this weekend.

Now! buy candy. only so you don’t have to run another errand later in the week. If you don’t trust yourself, put it in your husband’s trunk or something similar so it’s out of sight and hopefully out of reach!

the last weekend before Halloween

295 & 296

Halloween is next Sunday. If you are not fully prepared (except for candy. don’t buy candy yet, or you’ll just eat it.) it’s GO time.

just get it done.

Put on a happy face, take deep breaths, and steer your cart away from the crazies.

This weekend:

last minute Halloween schtuff

keep up with the Daily 7

pull out the winter clothes if you haven’t already, and do a quick PROM

While we are postponing, life speeds by. --Seneca

Tuesday: run errands; make sure you actually did your meal plan

278

Hello! If you have errands to do, get them done and over with. How’s your meal plan going? We’re having crockpot turkey breast tonight, which will provide leftovers for Wednesday, and probably a bit more for lunches the rest of the week.  Thursday night we’re going to have some sort of  bean soup because I’ve got the ends of a few bags of dried beans taking up valuable real estate. Friday night I’m at BlogHer so Adam will probably do Taquitos, and Sat night the kids are at grandma’s.

Today:

saturday & sunday: the first weekend of crocktober

275 & 276

I’m typing this quickly before leaving for the first date night out in a VERY LONG TIME. woo hoo! Adam and I are going to see The Social Network, which is pretty funny because we’re the only ones we know who aren’t on facebook.

HA!

I’m having a tiny sliver of mommy guilt because I’m going to be away from the kids next weekend for BlogHer Food, but I think it’s passing.

okay, now it’s gone.

whew!

any big plans this weekend? want to hang out on twitter Sat night since I’m going to be up late with a bunch of slumber-partying 9 year olds?

this weekend:

decorate for Halloween

iron out details for Thanksgiving. are you hosting? what are traveling?

daily 7

have some fun.

Tuesday! day 214

214

Good morning! I left Adam in charge yesterday to do the weekend recovery while I ran a few errands and got a pedicure. It was a lovely day!

Today:

TGIF day 204

204

oh my. It’s Friday again. Yesterday was Adam’s birthday, and we opted to celebrate at home with just us five.  I served birthday cake at 5pm and dinner at 6.

and then more cake at 7:15.

it was a good day.

Today:

daily 7

gear up for the weekend

and gear up for back to school shopping–do it now and stay away from the crazies.

monday. it came too fast.

I hope you had a wonderful and safe holiday, and if you’re traveling home today, my thoughts are with you.

Try to recover as much as you can today, but if you can’t because you’re too pooped, it’s okay. It usually takes a good week to recover from a holiday weekend, especially if you traveled. Cut yourself some slack.

and then throw on another load of laundry. you’ll feel better if you’re proactive.

not the zit soap. the action.

162–Friday, June 11

I have a kindergarten graduate in the house! I plan to spend much of the day walking around in a daze wondering where the time has gone.

and make cookies

and brownies

and buy ice cream

Today:

daily 7

gear up for the weekend—we’re spending the days (starting tonight) on the softball field, and I need to make sure we’ve got lots of somewhat-healthy snacks in the house so I don’t eat nothing but nachos (I’m a sucker for that jalapeno cheese stuff from a can) for three days.

count your blessings, and weekly reflection.
