Any Wednesday...

Just like all the rest...today was booorrriiing. Long and drawn out. Started out running late and had to do busy work all day just to stay busy-until about three and then all kinds of requests started rolling in. So at least I will be busy tomorrow. Feast or famine, that is how it is this time of year. You are either so busy you can't get caught up or the phone is just not ringing. But it doesn't stay that way for long.
This is a short week for me so I will not gripe too much. After taking a long weekend I was actually pretty much ready to go yesterday, got in early and got a lot done. I have been getting home and spending time on the stationary bike working those calories off and sweating like a pig. But I have about 25 more pounds I want to lose and I would love to get rid of what is left of my gut and stick to a healthy weight. Fingers crossed.
School is getting ready to start again, I have one starting college in a week and another in the fifth grade stating the next week. Neither one seems too excited about going, but I will be glad to see everyone back in a normal routine. Not much else to say today except gas is going down and the temperature is going back up. Which is about normal for this time of year so no use complaining. It has been a pretty mild summer thus far especially compared to a couple of years ago when we had 30+ days of over 100° temps. It even rained a little this afternoon as I was leaving work.
Well when all you have to talk about is the weather and gas prices, I guess that means there is not much to say. Til next time...

Any Given Sunday...

Football is back...or the crappy preseason version of it. But it was nice to see a real NFL football game and not the weak Canadian version, or that circus Arena League crap. It was also nice to see all of the Hall of Fame inductees. Just about a month a way from the real deal so I am pretty hyped. Other than that I am knee deep in Season two of Hemlock Grove and trying to wind down from what has been a pretty good day.
Had the whole house full of kids today and made a huge dinner of pulled pork, corn on the cob, potatoes, fresh vegetables, and corncakes. A corncake covered with pulled pork and drizzled with some good green salsa was pretty damn amazing if I must say. Spent about an hour on the exercise bike working it off but it was worth it.
My middle child starts freshman orientation for college tomorrow. I both proud and excited for her and know she will do good things. The youngest will enroll on Tuesday and should be starting soon. Things will get back into a routine and somewhat back to normal soon. Maybe when school starts we can all go to bed at a decent time, And then again maybe not.
Tomorrow I am finishing off my four day weekend by hanging out with my son while everyone else is running around doing other things. One last chance to get in some rest and exercise before I start another (short) work week. All things considered I have had a great weekend and am blessed to have a loving family and a roof over our heads. Hope everyone else had a great weekend and that carries on for the week ahead. Til next time...
