I was able to manage a few more bills today. I'm excited. I finally got them done because I went home for a late lunch hour after eating while I was driving for work. I have paid the car, mortgage, after school program, loan, credit cards (stopped charging a while back, just paying now), most utilities. I still need to pay my tuition, the water bill, the phone, and a few other small bills. I'm a little freaked out because to top it off I think I need my brakes fixed -- I'm getting that funky jerky stopping now vs. smooth breaking.

I am also day 3 smoke free. This was a bigger challenge than anticipated. The "one" pack I allowed myself became 3. I still am not dropping weight but I'm making healthier choices so hopefully the loss will come. I am not used to being this size and do not like it. I don't want to buy new clothes, I want to fit into my old ones.

My group is becoming overly ambitious for my class. I do not want to take as much on. I'm tired from last week and my son's teacher emailed me today with a list of stuff we are missing the boat on (he forgot his glasses for the last week, he didn't hand in homework today, we didn't return the note she sent home). Ugh. I feel like a failure. I am not doing well with juggling this time consuming class, soccer games, work, and everything else. I'm tired.

The kid's bedtimes have been unenforceable lately with the later sunlight hours. I have to get that together. On the up side my house is clean! T worked on it over the weekend and I contributed the last few nights. Seems if I keep this ball in the air I drop others.... Hmmmm.........

Pain level = somewhat manageable. I'm aching lots and need to work out. Soccer practice tonight and the hubby is working late. Don't think a work out will happen. Hopefully I'll be able to manage a decent meal and homework!

I always forget the crunch and stress of spring. I love spring, but I hate the school projects on top of soccer practice. If only my kids would do some of their homework during their after school program. If only I had a maid and cook like Alice from The Brady Bunch. Can you imagine what that would be like? I don't need her to watch my kids -- just clean the darn house, make the darn dinner, and do the darn grocery shopping.

Am I asking too much? Millie (above) is sad. She has horrifying gas and that has never been an issue for her. Hopefully she won't eat whatever it was that made her this way again. Oh my goodness.... Wow, I sure did ramble today!!!
