Random Tuesday – Can’t get going on work, so I blog


  • Well, as I say ALL the time: I am already sick of the cold. I think it was slightly warmer today but still, it’s kind of annoying. Admittedly, my office feels a bit warmer than yesterday. I was really struggling; had on fuzzy socks and a blanket wrapped around my feet, as well as my little heater going. It makes no sense that this building would have A/C running when it’s 50 outside. Stop eating carbs, people, and we could all be comfortable at the same temp!
  • Last night was insanely busy. Left the office at 3:45 and went home to make salads, picked up Isaac at 5:30 from soccer tryouts, made food for other kids, then we took him to 7 PM practice and Ash and I walked around the complex. It might have been a little over 4 miles or more. I felt really good about both that and the salad; in fact, I was surprised I weigh about 3 pounds under what I thought. I haven’t been on the scale in a bit so that was a welcome surprise.
  • While out there, we saw my friend, Tiffanie, and her daughter, playing in the adult rec league. She’s played forever but I didn’t know what night. It’s informal and players come and go but when I asked if they won, later over text, she said I should join them. Funny part is that I said to Ash I was considering, even before. It scares the hell out of me, if we’re being honest. At the same time, maybe that’s good. I have to look at her offer as the opportunity to take. If I always say no, am I ever improving myself? I want to do it but also don’t want to embarrass myself or let others down. My friend assures me it isn’t like that but…
  • Let it be known I have never actually played soccer myself. I have watched SO much pro and also, my kids have played since they were little and have been at all levels, from rec to school teams. But can I do it? We shall see!
  • So far, I have purchased a few things on Amazon for Christmas. I am really trying to drag out my purchases but I spent a lot already this month and do I really want to wait until next month now? Argh. I do want to be ahead though.
  • We watched a 2006 movie last night called Running Scared, which was a dumb title that didn’t draw me in, but the movie itself was pretty good. Lots of action, good story, nice ending. Highly recommend.
  • I’m starting to feel a little panicky over all the house things we need to get done and realizing I just don’t have a lot of time to do them. Especially since we are out of town the next two weekends. How do busy people do it?? Oh, and now, Isaac wants to try out for travel soccer for Spring. Yes, please do add more stress to my life!
  • Sigh. Someone is making, like, hash browns, and they smell so good. I miss breakfast but I cannot go back to eating it. I’ve come too far.

  1. We went to the beach for the long weekend and I was feeling the same way – I’ve got a one night away for work next week and the following week, Mark has a three night away trip. I wonder how others keep up! I did four loads of laundry before I came to work today!
