Catching our breath...

Well tennis has ended, baseball has ended, the weather is cold/cool and it's getting darker earlier. All these things are helping me to feel like I can take minute and catch my breath from 2 months of going, going, going. Don't get me wrong, I have post baseball depression, and I really miss watching Jessica swing that racket and pound that tennis ball, but basketball is right around the corner so this down time is definitely momentary.

So in my catching up I am actually doing my housecleaning schedule this week

Yes, I have a schedule:
Monday: kitchen
Tuesday: bathrooms
Wednesday: laundry
Thursday: dust/vacuum/sweep

So since the maid hasn't shown up EVER, and I am pretty sure she won't exist for me til I have enough money to pay for college and since that little thing called the stock market is, well, struggling, all that may never happen, so I figured I better suck it up and get to cleaning. As you know today is Tuesday, I don't like Tuesdays in my cleaning schedule, loathe is a better word. Mondays I can handle, Love Wednesdays, Like Thursdays, but loathe Tuesdays. I was cleaning the bathroom today and was wondering if this thing really works.



Does anyone know? I wouldn't want to spend the money unless it could buy me a few Tuesdays between cleaning. Let me know if you have tried it.

I started to be concerned about something when I cleaned my shower, there is so much hair in my bathroom that either:

A. I am going bald (rogaine for women?)
or
B. This fella is secretly coming to my house and using my shower.



I am not ok with option A or B.

What have you been up to?

So it's certainly been awhile since I posted, over a month! So sad, I am sure I have lost all 3 of my readers! I am pulling my calendar out to help me remember what I have been up to.

Ran my 10k, surprised myself that I did it since I only gave myself 2 weeks to train for it

Father-in-law came for a visit while waiting for the electricity to come back on at his house in Houston.

Jessica has been taking tennis lessons, first lesson she beat the tar outta the tennis ball like she was hitting a line drive to center field, by the last lesson she was learning to take a little off the ball.

Joshua's has played lots of baseball games, the boys are having a good season.

Chris went to Atlanta for a conference. I was jealous.

I had 22 parent conferences in one week. Yikes.

We went camping on what was probably the best Texas weather weekend we will see all year.

Ok I feel that I was busier than that but that's all I can think of...

I will try to do a little better at this blogging thing.
