Thursday Treats is all about the best things I have had happen in the past week as far as good things, good foods, awesome finds at stores, great TV shows, etc.
As I type this at 9:34pm, the kids will have a 2-hour delay tomorrow. While it is not a treat for me, the kids will be ecstatic about it. I bet they are going to cancel school, but they won’t do that until morning.
P and S got to see their grandparents today. They got back after being gone for over 2 months and the kids were so happy. P has asked constantly when they were coming back.
I started watching a new series on Amazon Prime, Hunters. It is about hunting Nazi’s in the US in the 1970’s. I have only watched one episode so far, but I am already hooked.
I went to a couple of Meijer this week looking for Valentine clearance. I found a little at each store. I never did find the hair bows that I was looking for.
What good things have you been treated to you this week?
Wild Wednesday is about all the crazy or unbelievable things that have happened in the last week to me, in the news, pop culture, etc.
Since last Wednesday here is what has happened:
P lost her second top tooth. She now no longer has two front teeth or two bottom teeth. One of her bottom teeth has start to come in but she basically has a huge gap in the front of her mouth. Everything has to be cut up because obviously she cannot bite anything.
Target did something it has never done before. Last Tuesday the Valentine clearance went 70% and then it surprised everyone that the Valentine clearance went 90% on Wednesday. I happily found out at 8:10am so I was able to get to Target and shop before anyone else found out!
I started watching Schitt’s Creek on Netflix. There are 5 season available. It is totally my sense of humor. The episodes are only a half hour long and 20 minutes when there are no commercials. I actually finished all 5 season today and now have to either wait for the sixth season to come out on Netflix or watch it on PopTV now. I started DVR’ing the episodes.
We were forecasted to get a bunch of snow in the early morning hours and potentially not have school today. We got a little snow, but tonight it is really coming down and sticking to the streets. We may not have school tomorrow. The roads sucked tonight just coming home from a block away.
Manic Mondays are when I let you know what plans I have for the week. Some weeks I may be very busy where other weeks there may not be any plans. I have also decided to do a quick recap of what we actually did versus what I thought we were going to do.
Starting 02/24/2020
This Week-I am still taking my time getting back to exercising. I know I owe a long blog post explaining everything and I will when I can. At thing point, I am going to work on getting back to posting on a daily basis. I hope I can become consistent in it again but you never know. I do, however, post on Instagram, so you can always follow me there to find out what I have been up to.
Monday-I am going to the gym first thing in the morning. The kids have school, and I may run to a few stores checking out Valentine clearance.
Tuesday-Working out in the morning, and then no other plans the rest of the day.
Wednesday-I have my 6 week check-up with the doctor. It is just shy of 6 weeks, but close enough.
Thursday-The kids have school and we have the Brantley Gilbert concert in the evening.
Friday-After school I am taking the kids to watch the dodgeball tournament at the junior high. I am taking A, L, and Little B with me, too, so they can watch their mom play with the other teachers. It was pretty funny to watch last year.
Saturday-Today is my true wedding anniversary. We have been married for 16 years now, together for 19. It seems crazy it has been that long, it surely doesn’t feel like it.
Sunday-No plans at home, just hanging out at home.
Last Week Recap-I did go to the gym to workout Tuesday-Friday. I did 3 of the regular workout with a little modification.
Monday-Today was President’s Day and the kids didn’t have school. I was supposed to have an eye doctor appointment. It got cancelled but I still took the time to myself and went shopping at Target. I found a few things for P on clearance that she will love.
Tuesday-I had a doctor appointment in the morning and then hung out at home the rest of the day. The kids had homework to do when they got home from school.
Wednesday-Target Valentine went 90% clearance much to my surprise. I left once I saw it on Brickseek.com and there was no one at my store shopping. I got the entire Valentine clearance section all to myself to take my time and really look through. I only went to 2 of the 4 Targets. After school P had Girl Scouts. I went to help out. She really does love going to Girl Scouts.
Thursday-After working out in the morning I stayed and cleaned the gym. It is going through a bit of remodel so it was really dusty. I did some serious sweeping and mopping and was there for over 4 hours, 14,000 steps and 5 miles of walking. Surprisingly, I did not crash when I got home.
Friday-I met other mom’s at Little Caesars Pizza to sell Girls Scout cookies for our Daisy troop. B brought P up after she got off the bus. She was only too happy to participate and wore a cookie costume. She asked every person picking up pizza if they wanted to buy a box of cookies. When they said they didn’t have any money, she bit right back at them and said, “We take credit cards, you have one of those.” (Not asking them if they have one, pretty much making a statement like everyone has one.) By the time we were done I was a frozen popsicle. P was warm because she had the cookie costume on the whole time (2 hours).
Saturday-B took S to math camp at HPI (Hull Prairie Intermediary). Afterward S went to his cousins to spend the night. P went to the neighbors and had a sleepover. She was so excited that is all she could talk about in the morning. B and I went to the Garth Brooks concert in Detroit. We had to leave early because of the crowd. We went with another couple and had a great time. It did take almost an hour to get out of the parking garage. We literally were in the same spot for 40 minutes before we started to move. I got quite a few rosaries done while we were waiting.
Sunday-B got up in the morning and got both kids. They were cranky and tired when they came home so it was a chill morning of hanging out and watching Frozen 2. It was nice outside in the high 50s so the kids played outside in the afternoon.
I want to tell you what we are doing right at the moment that I take the picture, whether it is at 1am or 1pm on Sunday. Just a quick snapshot into a day in our lives. I haven’t done one of these posts (really any posts) in quite a long time. I am going to try my best to get back at it.
Currently….
It is 6:39pm
P and S are extremely tired from their sleepovers last night. It was only a matter of time before P crashed.
P ate dinner at 4:55pm (which is early even for her). When she was done she crawled onto the couch where I was laying down and that was it. She was out for the count. I am not sure of the exact time she fell asleep because I kept dozing off. I woke up at about 6:30pm and she was asleep. She didn’t wake up until 7:30pm and was back to bed by 8:30pm.
S was finishing his day of playing Farming Simulator 19. He knew we needed to finish the last part of his homework before it was time to get ready for bed.
I was on the couch cuddling with P. I always loved when the kiddos took a nap with me. I take any snuggle they are willing to give.
