Joining the Tuesday link-up

I’ve decided to take part in a new link-up today. It’s not the link-up which is new, it is the fact that I’ve never taken part in it that is new.  Random / Talk to us Tuesday.




 

• My kids didn’t have school yesterday so I stayed home, it is unbelievable how much I got done around the house yesterday

• I nearly fell off my chair when I saw my in-box at work this morning, just because I wasn’t at work did mean the work stopped!

• Because of said ‘off day’ and over-flowing inbox I had a 10 min lunch today

• I’ve re-connected with a high school friend. Actually we weren’t such great friends in high school, these day’s we talk nearly on a daily basis. Go figure!
• Tonight everyone in our town is putting out all their big rubbish. Twice a year they will come and pick up anything that doesn't fit into your bin bag, for free.
• There are loads of people driving around seeing what they can find sitting on other people's sidewalks. 
• I made my kids go running this morning. Yip, my kids eat junk food so to counter balance that they have to go running.
• Wonder if I'll be able to get them up to go running tomorrow morning.
• Wonder if I'll be able to get up to go running tomorrow morning.

Right, that's it from me tonight!
 

Random Rambling Tuesday

I went back to work yesterday – I don’t think my body/mind was ready for the shock!

I have so much work to do I’m not sure where to start. You know that feeling that no matter where you start you feel like you’ll never finish it? That’s how I feel. And everyone feels that their work is the most urgent and they want it done by no later than the end of the week!

The upstairs of our house is looking like an episode out of hoarders.  I started switching the kid’s rooms around and then decided that while I was doing that I might as well sort out their clothes and books and toys.   Well, I have one room that is looking great and three rooms that look like a bomb exploded in them.  And as much as I would like to just ignore it and avoid the upstairs completely (cept to go shower) I can’t. The kids will be back before I know it and they need a place to sleep.

Speaking about the kids, they are being spoilt rotten!  Cat does not want to come home. Tiger would like to come home but I think he’s cousins have other ideas about this.  According to my mother-in-law Josh & Jude follow him around like two little shadows. Josh is insisting that everyone call him Tiger and he only wants to wear Tiger’s clothes.

I think they are going to be in for quite a shock when they come back home and have to ‘learn to live with the law again’.  I’m missing them loads though and can’t wait for them to come home.

The one thing that I did do while hanging out at home was pick up weight. In fact it’s now gotten to that point where I hate getting dressed in the morning cause I’m having a hard time pulling on my ‘fat’ jeans. Not good. So I’ve decided to make some changes. I’m going to try my best to avoid sugar for the next 21 days.  Also, I want to avoid eating carbs at dinner time. I’ve also replaced my usual breakfast muffin or croissant with a green smoothie.  By doing this for 21 days I think I may just have a manageable goal in mind.

It’s going to be hard! I have such a sweet tooth and love bread! But I have to do something.

Yesterday, day 1 I even managed to resist the chocolate brownie cake my friend Kim left at our house on Sunday. Even when Himself offered me ½ of his piece.

Right, I better stop blogging & get back to this mountain of work.

PS. in case you are interested I found some great green smoothie recipes on Pinterest.

I sort of make up my own by looking a several and they are really filling.

PSS. I'm also linking up with Talk to us Tuesday, check them out:
