Monday, Monday

Here it is another Monday. Time to update my blog. wishing I had something interesting to write about today. Nothing comes to mind. So this will be the Sienfield Blog. The blog about nothing. Well almost nothing.

Friday was Susan's 13th birthday. Her insane mom (me) decided to host a swim party at an area hotel for her and 9 of her closest 13 y/o friends. I booked two adjoining rooms, ordered pizza, bought a HUGE cake, lots of chips, soda and popcorn. First let me say that 6 medium pizzas is not enough for 12 people. Who knew? But when you have one kiddo who only eats the toppings, it really cuts down on the pizza mileage. BTW, you get what you pay for in pizza. I am not real impressed with Pizza Huts Pizza Mia's. Not really so good. Anyway, once you couple the lack of protein with the overabundance of cake and soda, you end up with a very wired gang of girls!!! We somehow survived. No drownings, only a few grouchies. I decided to treat the experience as more of an experiment. A field study of sorts. I watched personalities change from polite, my mom told me to be good or else angels to the we are now comfortable and over sugared little heathens. SOme definantly worse then others. It's funny how they are changeing. Didn't I still have a clue yesterday? I guess now that they are all 13, I no longer "get it".

Saturday was spent with a sugar hangover. Since I have been on a sugar fast, I now notice how extreme it can hit me. This is foreign territory to me, I am used to eating whatever whenever and not noticeing it's effects because it was the norm. Now that has changed. Sugar makes me feel like poo. Funny, cause I had always believed it was my friend!!

We did some recovery napping and sewing and then took the kids to the park. Hubby came down with something as soon as we got there. Usually that is his ploy to stay in the car while I chase kids but this time it was for real. He was sick. Which meant that after the park we went on a hunt for soup and nuesua relief. What fun!! How budget breaking it was too!! I declare that NO ONE ELSE IS ALLOWED TO GET SICK IN THIS HOUSE! People, we are trying to get ready to leave on wednesday and we have gotta stop spending money. It is eating away at our already tiny Christmas fund. Sunday was spent here at home. Recovery sewing. But I got 3 slings done and ready to ship. One more and I will have all my orders out before I leave. WAY to busy today and tomorrow. Gotta fit everything in before we go. Why can't some of this wait until after the holiday? I guess I have a knack for cramming everything together. Or maybe it is procrastinating until the last possible second.

That brings me back to the beginning of this post. Nothing to blog about. I am just to crazed with everything I am doing this week to truly think of any blog worthy subjects. Why blog this dribble instead you ask? Because I promised myself I would blog at least once a week and this is my only second to do that. Sorry!! I promise to be more entertaining next week. I am heading out to see family for the holiday. That promises to inspire many a blog upon my return!! ;)

Oh, one thing I did want to note, I was right about the ramifications from last weeks post. The "friends" I was referrign to never bothered to check it out. This is so very healing. I am figureing out my place in their hearts and that is allowing me to give them the proper palce in mine. Hey, I will always be there for them as much as possible, that is just who I am, but I don't have to bend over backwards anymore to make sure they are happy with me. AND, I am giving up the insane desire to model my life and family after theirs. I am starting to realize there was nothing really attractive about it to begin with!! Thanks Mom for that insite!!
