Today I went visiting teaching again and completed our 3rd visit. I'm so pleased to be done by the 15th of the month. I don't mind visiting teaching, I just don't like it when it's close to the end of the month because then I feel frantic about it and don't ever want the sisters we teach to feel like we're checking them off our list. I also love (and I'm such a nerd about this) calling to report my visiting teaching to the supervisor. Isn't that silly. She's this sweet old lady and is always so grateful when I call that I just can't help myself. I always volunteer to make that call.
We're having another one of those rainy/sunny days that I love/hate. I love the gray skies, the cooler temperatures and the rain, but wish it would just stay that way all day instead of becoming sunny for awhile and then gray again. Mother Nature is a fickle woman for sure.
The kids and I are both so happy to stay home today. Benjamin from next door is over playing, but that's okay. I tend to be in my scraproom on the computer a lot of the time when he's here so it doesn't disturb me too much. It's when they decide to play hide and seek and come to count in the laundry room across from me that I get a little irritated. They count so loud then yell "ready or not here I come" only to have the hiders yell "not ready" over and over. I keep trying to explain to them that they're saying "ready OR NOT" but they're not getting that at all. Kids are dumb, ha.

I'm so sorry about the headaches. There is nothing like a headache to put a damper on the day. I love little appetizers for lunch, like hummus and pita chips, tomatoes and basil with oil and vin drizzled on top, or just soup or just a yummy big salad and a huge beverage, mmm like lemonade...mmm, I'm getting hungry.
Glad you feel better today and were able to crash last night. My sleep is going good- but Linc is having sleep issues, so his tossing is irritating me at night. Just can't win. I too was hoping today would be an all out overcast day- I hate when the weather toys with my emotions. For lunch, I usually make a quick sandwich or eat leftovers from the dinner the night before. I just had left over black bean chili and corn bread for lunch along with a ton of water. So spicy and satisfying.
Funny you asked about lunch. I ate three new things today; french onion soup with imported guyuere cheese, soft shell crab and chocolate souflee. It was all delicious...even the crab (well once I got over the fact that I was eating the guts and shell and everything).
I hope the rest of your day remains headache free!
Wow. There is some serious gourmet eating going on here.
I like to call to report to my supervisor too. It seems kinda like overachieving (b/c it seems like few people do it) even though it's what we're ideally supposed to do.
My head is in the sand. I keep scheduling w/ one of my visiting teachies and then forgetting. I thought I wrote it down....This is NOT like me.
who is commenting on your blog? hummus and crab?!!@# I did manage to eat lunch today, which is not the norm. But I had a scrambled egg and hash browns. Yesterday, I ate half a PB and honey sandwich and a vitamin for good measure- HA!
Glad you are feeling better today!
I am glad you slept better...headaches are the worst. I don't ever get real migraines (I think I had one once), but I do get headaches from being tired, hungry or just for no reason at all. A dentist friend of mine shared a wonderful cocktail for a had headache without having to use a prescription. I take 2 200mg ibuprofin and 2 500mg tylenol. It works wonders, especially when I save it for the pesky headaches that motrin or tyelonol alone won't touch!
Jenn, I know what you mean about the gourmet lunch eaters. I am proud of myself for eating lunch today and that was 2 little frozen bean burritos. How funny.
I'm glad you are getting yourself back on track. I do pretty well with the sleeping and hit and miss with the eating. Usually it is some kind of leftovers for lunch.
I LOVE the rain in the summer, I wish it would stay all day too.
I just learned in our visiting teaching conference that reporting is part of the calling! So you are ahead of the game and fulfilling your responsibilities.
I have a confession - I've been checking your blog the past few days, and it was still showing Landon's original birthday post from last Thursday. I was wondering what was up (as though I have room to talk, since I have been a sporadic blogger). So today, I thought I would try hitting refresh. And the world was righted, as your most recent updates appeared. Weird that I had to refresh, and kind of disconcerting that it wouldn't just automatically update.
Anyways, my sleep shedual is going surprisingly well. I have always been a night owl, but with mine and Jessie's new gym committment at 5:30 every weekday morning (which is a miracle for me in and of itself), I have been getting to bed no later than 11:30 - usually, by 11. Amazing.
I haven't started my visiting teaching, dang it.
I would LOVE for it to rain all day. Seriously, I am ready for summer to be over by mid-June. I hate hot weather. If it's about 85, it's too hot.
And today I had a veggie bowl from Teriyaki Stix for lunch. My lunch is usually thrown together stuff as I am getting ready for work. Nothing fancy.
Today I had a Quarter Pounder with Cheese from McDonalds. Gross, I know, but I was hungry, it was right there, and I was on the go! I'm usually religious about my meals, and I tend to eat the same thing over and over. Breakfast: cold cereal with half a banana; Lunch: sandwich with chips and milk. Dinner is the only time there's any variation and then I hardly eve make the same thing twice.
What I wouldn't give for a nice all day rainy day! Today is especially bad since we seem to be getting little thunder storms that dump for a few seconds and then move on. I want torential downpours that last for hours!
I was just thinking about my VT today when I was in the car. I must call my companion to coordinate. I never call to report. My comp is our districts supervisor so she reports when she calls her report in. Makes it very easy!
You know I have major sleep problems, too, right? Now they're compounded by the fact that Alexander's sleep pattern is all messed up. He's been sleeping all day and then going to bed around 8:00. Then he wakes up sometime between 2:30 and 5:00 and hinks it's time to play. Luckily this only lasts about an hour, but still, interrupted nighttime sleep is the worst. I'm hoping that once K gets home he'll want to stay up in the afternons more.
Hey Robin, I hit refresh every time I click a link to someone's blog just in case. A lot of the time there are updates that didn't just come up with the page. Go figure. You should know better than to think I hadn't updated since last Thursday, Girl's Camp was over in June and we never go anywhere.
That totally stinks about your headaches. I hope they get better. That is one thing that I really don't get all too much. My mom gets migraines as well. YUCK.
Sleep issues are always hard especially when their your own! I finally was able to get a good night sleep last night for the first time in a week.
As far as lunch goes, that is always hit and miss for me I live off of peanut butter m&m's, diet coke and wheat thins!
Hey and wish you could send rain our way. I am hand watering my lawn every night!
Hey Robin,
My blog has been doing that as well! Everytime I type in a blog address "old" posts appear. So weird. I am going to try and hit refresh next time.
Sleep for me is cyclical as well. When I am stressed, I can't seem to shut down my brain and sleep so I take 1/2 of an Ambien. I am in love!!
No, I haven't vt'd yet. Nice thing about being the president is that I can make the routes. I've assigned myself to an inactive lady whom I adore (i've been her VT for over 2 years) and to another lady that doesn't like receiving VTs. Oh well, I am a glutton for punishment.
I miss you and can't wait to see you soon!!
sleep cycle??? what the freak??? i dont have one anymore!!! well thats not totally true..i tend to get to bed around 1130ish..then read for 30 minutes..then HOPE that my brain shuts off..then up again at 350am or 430am to do jons cath..then up again at 9am..im NOT gonna be happy that when school starts i'll have to get up at 730am!!!! and probably stay up!!
im a good visiting creature..right now with all that's going on my partner has just been doing it for the both of us..and i tend to do it the 2nd sunday of everymonth..so all of us know were coming!!!
lunch? its usually a pbj, or a turkey sandwhich or leftovers from lastnite.. im the same, cereal, sandwich, variety dinner-something to look forward too!!
and im impressed with the gourment eaters here!!
sleep cycle,
i will hae to email you about that one.
VT. i love the message this month. I thought it was so great! i had the best vT in Tn and she changed my life about the who idea of it. i really should post about it sometime. i am such a better VT now because of it. I love it now and i am not anti someone comeing to visit me, i used to be one of those the people who used to say, "oh i am fine, don't wory about coming over"
lunch was spent with my kids and MCdonlands eating their yummy parfait, i love those things and french fries and diet coke. i just think McDonalds has the best Diet coke!
now i am rambling
Hmmm... I am upset that Jenny lives off peanut butter m&ms, diet Coke and wheat thins and looks like she does... I usually eat leftovers for lunch or fix myself a sandwich. Sometimes a salad. Sometimes I get busy and forget to eat lunch until 4:00. Duh.
If my kids would just sleep, I wouldn't have any sleep issues at all. I fall asleep within seconds of turning out my light and I never wake up in the night unless awakened. Someday. Someday I will be able to get enough sleep.
I did go visiting teaching last week and I love getting it done early!
