Today...just another day

Arroz Con Pollo, Lightened Up | Skinnytaste
That's what I'm making for dinner. Smells smashing! Making dinner doesn't typically happen unless it's Mario's day off because we don't do well with leftovers. But for weight watchers I'm finding I need to use up my points in bigger point meals or else I eat random stuff just to make up my points.

Today the guys got started on siding! They have to do at least first row before they can secure the deck boards. Hopefully they can get the boards down tomorrow.

I also got the great idea to make crocheted items for Mario's family this year for Christmas. That's 4, 3, and 3...10 hats, scarves, mittens, or dresses to make before Halloween so they get there in time...darn mail system! Now must figure out what to make who and in what colors. That's enough to drive me crazy...and may take from now until Halloween for me to figure out.

Dinner just beeped!

August

So far this month we have had heart break, a deck break, lots if cuts and scrapes, and a big hit to the bank account.

The heart break is a but personal at this point. But involves the kids...maybe later.

The deck break and cuts and scrapes is because we tore down our old deck Sunday! The plan is to have the new deck up by this weekend.. So far we have posts cut. The scrapes and cuts, well i pinched my finger between two deck piers, BB tripped and fell 2x over the deck piers, and Mario cut his forearm on a nail and scratched his knuckle in the process of trying to get things done.

And the hits to the bank account...the deck, the siding, a faucet, tools, nails, a toilet, and all the gas involved in driving to the hardware store 29 miles away.

Now that I see it all written down maybe I should keep track of what we spend on the house...good idea huh?

LS slept in her crib for the first time in over a month! She did really well, 12-3, 3:45-7- 7:15-9. I'll take it! Much better sleep for me! We are nursing so I typically sleep and nurse her at the same time. I cannot sleep in that position...so I definitely needed a change.  Hope this is a long time change!

I started weight watchers this month too. Its difficult getting used to...I don't have the menu/recipes/food i need/want/enjoy figured out yet. We'll get there I suppose.  10 lbs in 2 weeks...I'm happy with that :)

Off to figure out recipes and menu so I can get to the store.
