Sat 8/18/07 It is 3AM and here I am, finally sleepy again. Our son woke us at 2AM to say he was walking home and see if the door was open and a light on. He was feeling a bit creeped out after seeing a scary movie. Now I find it hard to relax and go back to sleep. Our daughter is going back to school after being home for 3 months. It has been incredibly great having her home. We have all gotten along so well and it is the first time the 4 of us have felt like a family, rather than a group of nutty, uptight people-driving each other crazy....Today is my day off and I need to be in SO many places....for example, my husband and I take a class on Sat. mornings with a bunch of people, have breakfast etc. Then he still wants to hang around together....My son wants me to watch a movie (really 2, but I promised/committed to 1). My daughter is meeting her best friend from her semester in England today. She wants me to join them for lunch or something.
Let's not forget paying bills, laundry, the 4 dogs, cleaning the house, oh yeah, and I'd love to do my hair and nails....and my friend just got a puppy and I want to give her a dog cage, but need to take a little time to get one cleaned and ready for her. I don't know why, but exercise is not on the top of my list!! Anyway, I hear footsteps....I'm going back to bed...before someone has to drag me up!!

Exercise, I think all those things you have to do constitues exercise!!! Hope you got some more sleep. Isn't it great when things fall into place and you feel like a family, that's what it is all about. I think it is great your son wants to watch a movie or two with you. Good job-for a teenager to want to spend time with a parent...means a lot because you know how they can be. If I ever get into a position where I have extra money I don't know what to do with-I am definitely going to hire a cleaning service!! Enjoy your day off, talk to you later.

I agree with with emma12 about the exercise. Sounds like a nice family. Whatever you get done, enjoy the qualilty time.

girl, you are gonna be too pooped out to do anymore exercise, your day already sounds like you are running a marathon. Just looking at my list of things for today, makes me want to crawl back into bed, cause i'm already tired.
My son has always made time for me in his busy life, and now that he is an adult, he still tries to make time for 'momtime' as he calls it. we used to have burger, fry and movie night on Thursdays when he was still living at home as a teenager, now when he is home, we still try to have a night like that. It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when I look at him and she the young man that he has grown up to be, and he still wants to spend time with dear ol' mom!. And I agree with EM, one of these days, I am going to have a cleaning lady, besides me!
Have a great weekend!
hugs and love
