Wow, I'm tired. I can't believe how busy my days are. Spent the morning cleaning up, and being a referee to these crazy kids, then the mad rush to get everything ready to get us out the door on time for school. Of course SIL calls at the same moment, with an IMPORTANT question, what do the kids want for xmas. I let it go to voicemail.

When we came back, I fed the baby, gave her a breathing treatment, fed Jon lunch. Then after we picked Jessica up, I put the two little ones to bed.... Jeff came home, and I wanted a nap, I'm tired. Steph was coughing really bad at 2am, I got up 3 times... but she was still sleeping, so I went back to bed. Then she finally woke up at 6am with a lot of coughing.

I made meatloaf, we both loved it... it's very comparable to his mother's he says, and mine is much healthier, I throw some wheat germ in there... and you can't even tell the difference. I was even looking in my sneaky chef book today... I'm going to make spaghetti and meatballs, the healthiest way possible... even going to make the sauce... I hope it's edible....

I went to the gym, did the stair climber today, that was a cool machine and did some weight lifting. Then I stopped at Krogers across the street from the gym. I hate when you go grocery shopping to a store you don't usually go to, because I knew where nothing was. I was looking for zucchini and didn't see it. Is this not zucchini season, I have no idea. My friends Mom gave me a recipe for zucchini bread that my mother gave to her, I was going to give it a try, even though I am sooooo not a baker. Oh well. I ended up spending way too much, so this counts as our grocery shopping for the week. Although Jeff was mad, because he enjoys grocery shopping that's his time away from us, that doesn't involve work... oh well, I'm sure he'll need to go get milk, I only bought one. I bought so many fruits and veggies I hope we can eat them all.

I went on the Wii fit this evening, just to weigh myself... lost another pound... so that's good. I am working my ass off at the gym, but I probably need to eat better. I'm doing ok, but obviously, with only a pound loss a week, I need to cut back on something????

So I didn't get home until 8pm... so the kids bedtimes got pushed back... and guess who calls while we are trying to hurry and put away groceries and get the kids to bed.... SIL... We answered it, but said we'll talk tomorrow. She always has such bad timing! Who the hell cares what you get my kids for christmas. Every year when we tell her what to get, she never gets it... so figure it out yourself, ugh! Girls like Barbies and crafts... and boys like cars, trucks, etc. It drives me nuts thinking about Christmas, just because every thing will have to go on our already full credit cards. Oh what fun this time of the year is!

Tomorrow is my doctors appointment... not until 345pm... ugh... I hate late appointments... but I originally made it that late because I thought Jess had school, but she's off tomorrow because of conferences, which I'm sure she won't be too thrilled about. Jeff will probably be home at 3pm... so he'll just watch the kids... MIL is off the hook, she'll be thrilled.

That's all for now, I'm going to bed soon!
