Today's Stuff

This morning I had training again. I'm not sure who is going to have a tougher time with my training. Jason or my In-Laws. He can be such a handful! It doesn't help of course that they have the other three kids. The girls just seem to fight more then usual. I think it will be good for them to go to school.

Then we ran over to Duncan's Jr. High. We needed to see about pictures, and his schedule. Tomorrow is back to school night, but we had to try his locker and find his classes anyway.

He's more excited about his locker than anything!!!
Than it was time for the gym and soccer practice. I'm really sore. It's been over two weeks since I went to the gym last, and my legs and back hurt. Next will be my arms......

I went back to pick up Brett and Duncan from soccer practice. They still had about half an hour. Jason decided it was time to play on the play ground.
I love my boy!!
He has decided this is a pretty cool part of the play ground.
He finally got the "hang" of hanging. I still have to push him back and forth, but he is for the most part staying on the bar.
He figured out how to climb up the twisty slide. Of course he might not have thought of this, except Samantha showed him that it was possible.
So I had to chase him up to save him. Than I followed him down the slide. He thought this was a fabulous game. Every time I followed him down the slide, he would giggle. The last time I went down after him, he watched for me and waited for me to follow him.
He started up again, and I wanted to get a picture of him compared to the slide. At this point I noticed that there was nobody on the soccer field.
I had noticed Tori coming over to the play ground a little while before and then she was walking away. I thought she probably decided she didn't want to play with us. However she was supposed to come and find us to tell us that it was time to go home. I don't think she made it even half way across the field. I started laughing and grabbed Jason and got him moving toward the road. Brett called his phone, (which I had with me) to find out where on earth we were. I giggled and advised him we were still at the school. So just be aware of your surrounding when you are going down the slide with your 3 year old.

Tired but ready for the day

Yesterday after Jason's Doctor's appointment, I crashed. I put Jason down for a nap and had a bit of a nap. I knew it would be better for all who had to see me yesterday if I had a mental break.

Today is going to be work filled. I'm a little beat, because Jason got me up at 6:00am, but once I get a little caffeine in me I'll be doing much better.

My Retail Therapy

Does it count as Retail Therapy if you've been planning on it for a while? Does it count if you've been looking through the adds and found a ridiculous deal?

Well, I'm counting it. I feel much better. I was going to sew a quilt, which means I'd have a bedspread in 12 years. I saw this bedding on sale in the adds this week. It was 1/3 of it's regular price. I'm so excited!!! Here's my awesome new bed!!!

Work, work, and more work

Well today will see how things work out. I've got a lot of work to do. I've got to measure, QC, and start working on some new projects.

Next, Jason. I've got to figure out how to get my baby boy to LET me work. He is a handful. Not only that but yesterday I had Lisa look in his sinus's to see if there is anything that is keeping him from napping and they are a little swollen. So I've got to get him his nose drops as well as some melatonin. This was suggested by a few people, most importantly my kids nurse practitioner. Hopefully we can get my boy to take a nap again.

At his appointment yesterday it was very obvious we was exhausted. I told her that as soon as I got home I would put him down to take a nap and he would take about a 10 minute break and be up and going again. She could see, as well as I, that this boy still needs to take a nap. So hopefully we'll be able to see what happens. If the Melatonin doesn't work then I'll accept nap-time is over.

Lastly, the kids have suckered Brett and I into being in the Stake play. So we have Play Rehearsal this evening.

Never a dull moment at the Lutz House!!!

Hip-Hop and Flylady

The girls started Dance class yesterday. Samantha came home and said she LOVED Hip-Hop! I figured she would, the style is more like my girl then ballet. She's not much of a girlie girl.

I also got a couple of things from FlyLady in the mail yesterday. FlyLady is an awesome on-line group that gives you house cleaning tips. Can you tell what my life is about? I can always tell what as worried me that day by my dreams. I seem to always remember them and the sad thing is most of the time I dream about work and cleaning. Hopefully my motivation and enjoyment of cleaning will come, someday. I'm not going to hold my breath though.

Yesterday's Goings on

Yesterday was a pretty normal, crazy day for us.

The kids had school of course. Jason and I stayed home all day while I worked and he was Jason. I got the dishes caught up and 5 loads of laundry done. If you get behind with laundry it seems to never end!! Especially when you have 6 people needing clean clothes everyday......*sigh*.

Duncan had Pack Meeting and Brett had Soccer Practice. I'm hoping that Brett can change soccer practice to another day of the week, because if not we will have to do all the scouting stuff from home. What is the benefit of being the coach if you can't decide your own schedule?

I also called about dance for the girls. I've been procrastinating this because it has been so nice to not have to worry about this aspect of our lives. Tori wants to do Hip-Hop, Jazz, and Ballet&Tap. Samantha wants to do Jazz, Ballet&Tap. I thought it would be fun for them both to do Hip-Hop because they won't really ever be able to do anything together, because of there age difference. Tori will be starting in Hip-Hop 1 so I thought it would be a good opportunity for the girls to bond. Samantha doesn't want to, so I'm going to make her try it once. She is so much more the unstructured child I think she will like it. But if she doesn't, she will not have to. It's not like it will affect my taxi schedule any, since Tori has her heart set on Hip-Hop. This means 4 days a week at the dance studio.......*sigh*, again!

I seem to be sighing a lot lately.....I've also set up a schedule for the speech therapist to come to our house for Jason. That will be a week from Wednesday, and then we'll be seeing where we go from there. Back to checking my schedule every night to see what the next day will bring.

Back to real life

Well, we aren't quite back to real life yet. I need to get back into my routine of laundry and dishes.

*Sigh*

Will it ever get easy for me to stay motivated? My sisters are major anal-retentive and get everything done, everyday. Why can't I be like that???????

Oh well, here goes!
