@Wildfire: We needed to get a transmission replaced this summer, we ended up selling the vehicle for parts and bought a used vehicle for the money we got from it. My 'new' used vehicle is comical and quite fun to drive. Just not good for long-term road trips.
I just ate a healthy, feel-good dinner. <3 Chicken and rice with veggies.
@Wildfire: Today is a bit rough, my to-do list is not going to get done. If I could just fast forward today and go to bed, i'd be happy.
I'm proud of you for tackling some of your to-do list. I'm sorry you have to pick up your son during traffic hour. Uhhhg!
Oh man, let's hope it's not the transmission in his truck. That's a spendy repair.
Sorry I poofed.
My morning has been long and exhausting.
One of my kids decided today was a good day for a tantrum. My phone has been ringing a lot and I wish I had a landline, so I could just pull the plug out of the wall. lol. XD But I have a cell phone, I could definitely put on silent or turn off.. but it's funny how I see it as a life line. lol!
@Purpsy: oh my gosh! That must have been so bad! especially for it to be sitting for days. yuck! I've recently started buying shrimp, but it stays in the freezer until my husband wants to eat it as I'm not a seafood person.
@Purpsy: Oh no! yucky, I can imagine rotting shrimp smells terrible.
I had to clean up doggy poops this morning. :[ I got a decent shampooer, so there's no evidence left of that happening. XD
@Wildfire: I am excited about the crates.
I don't have a whole lot of plans today, but enough to keep my day busy. I want to do some re-arranging. I want to get back into my workout routine. We'll see if I get those things done or not. :o
My kids and dogs are driving me crazy this morning.
My husband dug out a back stretcher last night that he hid from me because he didn't want to admit he's been avoiding his home physical therapy. e.e
I watched him use it and I ended up taking a turn because it looked weirdly comfy. I just about took a nap from comfort, he took me out of it because he thought I had passed out. lol. anyhow, my back feels amazing today.
@Wildfire: I got my shower done! and the kids started on their schoolwork today.
I'm going to pour myself a new cup of coffee and sort of do a "start over" XD
I wonder if it's just 'exhausted mom' that makes us similar on motivation/productivity.
@Wildfire: My alpha is a bit of both. Everything is his and he endures the zap of crossing the yard line and continues on his way. The best way to describe him is Demon from Snow Dogs [if you've seen that]. My alpha is 9 now and has calmed down immensely. My stinky dog is 5 and is set in her ways. Not very bright but very instinctual. And their baby is the youngest at 2 years old. almost 3. She's a leach for attention and smart. e.e
I think today is my lazy day too. My energy is capoot. I want to shower and vacuume the dog hair out of my room and that's it as far as productivity goes.
@Wildfire: I really hope the stress you're enduring will taper off soon and you'll find motivation again. I vacuumed yesterday and it freshened up the room some. I think you should at least do that at some point today. <3
My huskies are happy and... super chatty today. They wanna go outside, but I don't want to stand outside and wait for them to come back in. We have a fence line collar on all 3. So they can't leave the yard, However, One of the 3 Can. Since he's an alpha b^tthole. When I'm not outside, he goes on adventures. o_e
I was just thinking of showering and trying to feel motivated to tackle some organizing I put off.
I'm excited to play with some of these! <3 Amazing job! *o* So pretty!
My stinky dog refuses to ever come inside. So I left her out on her own this morning. Huskies love when there's snow. Anyway, I just looked outside and there's a mild blizzard. I had to get my snow boots on and get blasted in the face by snow to sheep-herd her back inside. =3= Chilly. Thank goodness I got coffee.
Teen drama is still a thing going on at my house. My niece is acting out again and my sister lost patience. sO.. yeah. I got sick from stress and affects my whole household. So If my sister decides to send her back over, I need to make boundries- big ones... with my sister.
I feel you on not wanting to do anything. That's me today.
I did a lot of rearranging and cleaning this week. I did a lot of cooking yesterday.
@Wildfire: I'm okay, It's been a while since I got a decent nights' sleep. So I'm groggy. I slept like a rock through the night and I didn't want to get up this morning, but the huskies insisted. It makes sense, they got me up early because it started snowing just as I got them outside.
How's your morning going?
@Aisukohi: I love yours! So pretty!
Good Morning.
I am... brewing coffee. and sleepy until I have that warm beverage in my hand.
