The bitc ... I mean witch ... is in the house ... again!

Yep AF found me. Evil ... evil ... EVIL witch that she is found me yesterday. Right before work of course! Because I could not just have a simple relaxing evening at work. I can not just enjoy myself in my job after a brain draining chemistry test earlier in the day. Nope! Not I! AF shows when I peed before leaving for work. By the time I drove myself to work I was looking through my purse frantically looking for the Advil. *sigh* I am so sick of AF. I am so sick of not being pregnant.

Can it be?

Is that sun I see out there? Can it be true? Is spring finally coming?

Yes it is true. It is sunny out there ... for now anyway. Spring may or may not be coming yet. I am not holding my breath in anticipation though.

Come on!

It is March ... right? I realize that in Minnesota that means very little. But do we really need to continue to have snow storms? The one yesterday was not as bad they said it was going to be. Thankfully! But it did still sleet and snow and get all kinds of schmutzy out there. And of course I had to drive in it. But then what is new? LOL

My pretty salt job was pretty much destroyed. Friday I bought a bag of salt from Wal-mart to melt all that ice we had ... well every where. I also hurt my back trying to lift that sucker from the bin to my cart and then from my cart into the Explorer. Thankfully the hubby lugged it out of the vehicle and into the house. I spent probably 20 minutes on Saturday before work going around and salting all my paths. From the house to the garage and from the house to the burning barrel. I salted in front of the garage too because that was also a death trap. It was nice to have some traction when we walked across the yard. I think it really doesn't matter anymore though. It's all covered in snow again. And God only knows when we will see the sun again ... or 70 degrees.

It's actually kinda fun.

I got my treadmill put together last night. Ok ... the hubby put my treadmill together last night. I mostly watched and offered assistance where he needed it. So I really didn't do much of anything. LOL But it is up and running now. WOOHOO!

I walked for 45 minutes last night and did 1 mile. Then this morning I got up and walked another mile but I did it in 40 minutes this time. WOOHOO! LOL So far so good.

My goal is at least 15 minutes a day, 7 days a week. So far I am blowing that out of the water. But I am not going to force myself to keep up this faster pace. What ever I feel up for that day as long as I get at least 15 minutes in.

Start Walkin!

I finally bought a treadmill! I bought it Thursday night. I dragged it into the house all by myself Friday morning. I am hoping that some time on Saturday I will actually get it put together. And if I am lucky by Sunday I will be able to start using it. WOOHOO! Wish me luck!

We have doors ... well sorta ...

So for some reason we have never had doors on the bedrooms downstairs. I don't know why or where they went. They might be upstairs ... maybe in the attic even. I honestly have no idea.

I have been wanting to put up curtains in place of the missing doors for a long time now. The hubby has always seemed less then excited about the idea. I am sick of trying to dress while dodging windows and the kiddlet in the living room. So he finally agreed to let me put up the curtains between our bedrooms and the living room. I got to go shopping! LOL I found a very pretty red set that work wonderfully in my opinion. They block off the rooms and I finally feel like I have some sort of privacy. So here they are! Our new "doors"!

Lottery? You have got to be ....

I got the letter in the mail from the school Bryan applied to for next year. He did not get in. Apparently they had more applications then spots. So they did a lottery to choose who could get in. WTF? So instead of basing it on who did the best and scored the best they instead just picked names at random. That's bull shit! It just seems totally unfair to me. Work hard and do well ... but don't try to hard cause it doesn't really mean jack and shit. Great ... thanks for teaching my son that little life lesson ... jerks. So he is on the waiting list to get in. He is 2nd in line for a spot. So I am hoping a LOT that 2 kids bail out before fall and he gets in. Fingers crossed!
