Saturday Night

Dear blog,

Saturday night and what am I doing.....enjoy a tall glass of coke - I hate pop, but every once and awhile I enjoy the carbonation of pop, listening to the hum of the dishwasher - yes that's right I said dishwasher; I always use it if we have company, listening to the hum of the dryer, and debating on washing the floors. 

We are in the middle of bathroom rennos.  This room - the smallest room in the house had better be worth all the time that has been spent on it and the disturbance it has created in the house.  I think my children are like me.  They like routine, when things are not in routine they both react in both positive and negative ways, but react.  That is me.  I love entertaining, planning but once the time is here and after about 15 minutes, I am done.  I can't handle it, I am ready for a melt down.  Unfortunately I hold it in and then erupt....remember I am like a volcano!

Monday I start the Healthy You Challenge.  This challenge involves a list of things that have point values - examples include taking a vitamin, working out, making time for friends, being positive with one self, eating fruit, eating vegetables.  Etc, bonus points if you spend quality time with your husband, bonus points if you spend bonding time with children (reading, cuddling).  You tally up the points per day, and then per week.  Depending on the number of points you receive per week you get a weekly cash prize (my husband is paying up) this cash prize money is to be used as a treat for yourself.   This is an 8 week challenge, the goal is that after 8 weeks this becomes your lifestyle - I'll let you know.

I feel like I should be talking about important things, like the things I hear on the news - but I have a confession I hate the news, I try my best not to watch it the news brings me down.  I don't understand the bill that first nations people are protesting - I have not researched it so I am not able to be for or against and until I research it I won't state an opinion as it would be judgemental and ignorant (I wish more people would take this approach), I cry over the missing dogs, the murders....no comment, and don't get me started on the Phoneix Sinclair trial this gets me down - I can't read about it, or even hear about it.  My mind always goes to the "How can people like this have children so easily, but yet I want more and yet it is so hard"  One thing I will never understand. 

I am not sure what direction this blog is going to take but for now I am enjoying writing, I enjoying putting my thoughts into words so we'll plug along and see where the words fall.
