- around the house -

Today was a mixture of cleaning, kids, and puttering about.

Having missed (literally, not emotionally!) my workouts for two days, i decided to do them right up front so as to not get lost in my day. Today was 20 minutes Jillian, 10 minutes pilates core, and 6 minutes pilates legs. it felt good to get some of the stiffness out.

then some kitchen cleaning to the good wife, american idol, and more. how does the kitchen get so cluttered so quickly?

as for american idol, of the top 10 i missed on one girl. the bette midler girl. i think her name is lauren. i would have put her above ashthon. but all my boys made it in which made me happy. i adore the bearded guy and mr funky suits. funky suits melts my heart and bearded guy reminds me of a jack black kind of guy. funny, clever, and incredibly musical. incredibly musical. man. this is going to be a great season.

the good wife got me today. i couldn't figure out what julian was up to. hooray for that twist. wicked little becca, well, she worries me. and what will happen to kerry's job now that childs isn't fighting peter?

did you read that part on my layout where one of my quirks is being personally invested in my tv friends?? wasn't kidding! teehee.

trainwreck in the nutrition today. hungry. all day long. tried to eat some protein to ward off the sugar pangs. didn't work. reached for the double stuff golden oreo. darn things. so much deliciousness packed into one little bit of love!!

worked my way through three bags (shopping style) of paperwork tonight. despise mail. it breeds during the night at my house, trying desperately to defeat my organization. and oft times it wins. but tonight, i took no prisoners. had to miss the family outing to yagoot to get it done, but i mostly did. some litter remains on the floor, but i just couldn't stay up any longer.

needing the sun to return. by mid afternoon i could feel my patience evaporating and my temper flaring. so frustrating. back to being a teenager all over again with these mid life hormone changes. and winter needs to go lest i lose this battle. i manage so much better when the sun shines. please shine soon. please.

the girls had a playdate all afternoon with their cute cute friends. they played lots of lalaloopsy. setting up elaborate scenes and acting out all sorts of social gatherings. poppy loves when kate comes as the imagination of a six year old is much more story based than that of a 3 or 4 year old. the littler girls like to play as well, but the stories of the older girls are much more developed and important. by that i mean it is important for poppy to follow her story line. and lavender sometimes just wants to be more spontaneous. kate, on the other hand, gets poppy's need to elaborate and flesh out the details. it's interesting to watch.

nigel is interacting better and better with the littles' friends. he was great with carson earlier in the week, and so too with the ladies today. makes me happy.

speaking of nigel, he jammed his index finger in basketball today. we called a friend, got instructions for wrapping and icing, and will see how it is tomorrow. if it still hurts, we will go have it x-rayed. my fingers are crossed (his are too tightly wrapped to be crossable--teehee!!) that it is just a sprain.

alright, must head to bed. i had hoped for an evening out with rich with my newly "dialed" hair, but alas, not tonight. hopefully tomorrow.
