Some accomplishments

I did not get most of things done that I wanted to on my day off; but I did get some things done that I wasn't even planning on so I guess it balances out.

After being rudely awaken by work I ate some breakfast and was feeling bad so I checked my blood sugar levels which ended up being way too high. I needed to conjure up some energy to workout but when my levels are high I am extremely tired (and my husband will tell you I am also very irritable). I called Sean and he told me I just needed to work out and not worry about the fact that I am tired. Well, that set my irritability off because being tired from high blood sugars is a completely different tired than being tired from staying up too late or doing something physical. So, I laid around watching Best Defense on TRU TV, my favorite station. Sean called back a little bit later and had all the school supplies budgets worked out. My husband is the CFO of our family. He does a GREAT job with it but he drives me crazy because I am not as detailed oriented about it as he is. In fact I know it is wrong to study zodiac signs and I usually do not pay much attention to them but I have done some reading on my sign and I can say I am a Pisces through and through. I am sentimental, sensitive, love to be creative, a day dreamer and I could care less how money comes in and how to balance it but I hold a PHD in spending it. Anyway, he tells me that whenever I am ready I can go get K's school supplies and then starts preaching to me about not going crazy and I don't have to get all the cutesy stuff. So I had to explain to him that girls want the cutesy stuff and there is no reason why we cannot buy it. I ended up winning that one. So, I got dressed and headed up to Walmart to get K's school supplies. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get a picture in the body of my post so the picture is up above. K loves polka dots so I was excited when I found so many polka dot themed items. We still have to get a binder which I will let her pick out and some post it notes which will be donated by an unnamed source.

When I got home I worked out and then ate a light lunch and started feeling better. I even checked my blood sugar levels 2 hours after I ate and while it was still slightly high it was way better than from the morning time.

After dinner we took K to get her school tennis shoes. We gave her a dollar amount and told her she could not go over that. I was dreading it because K can really be a pain in the hind-end anymore when you take her shopping. She wants what she wants no matter what the cost (hmmmm! I wonder where she gets that from??) So we head up to the mall and go to Journey's where we have been buying her tennis shoes lately. They sell skater shoes there. My daughter is NOT a skater but incredibly hard on shoes. The skater shoes are made with high quality and even K cannot tear these up. Fortunately they make very girlie skater shoes so we can all be happy. Smile! The first pair K picks up have all kinds of rhinestones on them. They were as cute as can be and were also $10 over the limit we gave her -* and *- if didn't have the CFO with us she would have got those shoes! They were precious!! The second pair she picked out was one cent below her limit amount and she ended up loving them! It was a piece of cake (thank you, Jesus!) I hope clothes shopping goes as smooth! I am crossing my fingers, toes, hairs, etc.

Tonight we are taking the boys to get their tennis shoes. They are so much easier to please than our princess. I hope they don't pull reverse psychology on us since she was so pleasant in picking hers out.

I wanted to get to bed at 10:15 last night since I haven't been feeling good but didn't end up making it there until 11:30. I read for a few minutes (I actually enjoyed the chapter I read last night) and then attempted to go to sleep but had a hard time getting there. I finally drift off and then I hear my husband say "Booboo" (that is what he calls me). He then tells me the dog is trying to come down to our room. Frustrated I grab my pillow and go sleep with the dog on the couch. I love my dog to pieces but she is getting on my ever last nerve. She is either going to have to change her ways or my DH is going to have to change his because I am tired of sleeping on the couch!

I am feeling much better today. I tried to work out this morning before work but the VCR kept kicking off. Not sure what is up with that and I was not awake enough to figure it out.

Have a great day!
