MOAB

I’ve exercised and had my breakfast and now what? I guess I could do the few dishes that need to be done and some laundry. Then I could sit and knit for awhile… I’m not working on a project just knitting to keep my joints from locking up after finishing Richard’s hat.

Oh yeah, I knitted a hat. Didn’t come out too bad. I’ll have to post a pic of it later. In the two weeks before Christmas I crocheted both he and Joshua a new scarf. I wasn’t happy with the ones I made for them before. Richard’s was in this gorgeous cream thick soft yarn and J’s was a wild mix of yellow and blue. I think it was called something banana. It’s cute and he likes it. I made a long red bulky scarf and hat for myself to go with my buffalo check black and red jacket.

Then its waiting until the kid gets up, force something down his throat (getting the kid to eat is a royal pain in the ass), then the battle over schoolwork. I think it’s normal for a homeschooled kid to rebel about it. Hell, they’re kids, that’s what they do. lol I’m trying to be gentle with him right now because he’s picked up on the stress level around here. He told his Dad last night he had a bad dream where I disappeared.

Maybe we’ll curl up on the couch and watch some of his videos today while Richard sleeps. Spend some Mommy time with him. I think he’d like that.

Richard and I both need to make a decision NOT to let all the crap get to us if only for the reason that it’s upsetting to Joshua.

Poor little guy.

Well a mile to start.. good GOD it’s been awhile since I used that DVD! I made it thru the thing and will work my way up to 2 miles a day or maybe even more. I think I’m going to order some wrist weights today.

Did I say I was doing this at 3am? I went to bed at around 9 last night and woke up at 2:30. I need to work on my sleep schedule.

Had the blood test yesterday. Woke up at 5 and sat for 3 freakin hours wanting something more than water. Finally got to the lab and had to wait behind some older ladies. Gah! I’d been getting up at the same time for the past 3 or 4 days and eating my bran flakes/1% milk/splenda at 6 so I was ready to gnaw the arm off the lab tech by the time they finished. We did a bad thing and stopped at a donut shop because I needed something. I had forgotten how much I detest sweet donuts. Ugh. They’re awful. Plus they attempted to make a “sausage roll” healthy by baking it instead of frying it. Duh. It’s sausage. One of the worst meat products for you… if you’re going to eat it at least go all the way with it.

And they didn’t have my favorite… cajun pies. (Shredded pepperjack and cheddar cheese with chopped ham baked in donut dough like a hot pocket) Not exactly healthy but DAMN do they taste good. Hmm… tart crust, egg whites with one yolk, lite cheeses, lite ham…. I may have to come up with a healthier version for a treat once in a great while. Call it a mini cajun quiche. lol
