Milestone Day

My goodness! Another milestone passes today. The kid got his braces off. Wow! He looks great. I am so happy that he will be able to start high school with beautiful teeth!

Of course, the whole time I was at the ortho, I was on a conference call. It lasted almost 4 hours. It was our period review. Those are 4 hours I won't be able to get back. Good thing they took breaks. I must have looked weird with the phone to my ear the whole time and not talking. I did take some pictures.... yes! I am one of those moms! But for personal reasons, I don't post any pictures of my kid on this blog. I have a couple of pictures on my Facebook for those of you who know where to go.

After the conference call, I headed back to the stores and did some work. I got around 6. I totally did not feel like cooking and practically had to beg Josh to make dinner. I know he works hard too, but can't he make dinner every once in awhile? Unfortunately, this boyfriend does not come equipped with household duties. I do all of the cooking and cleaning.... usually. Unless I gripe about it long enough, like tonight. I just don't want to have to gripe to have him do these things once in awhile. Can't a guy surprise his girl every once in awhile? Geez!

Okay, enough ranting and raving. I am pretty tired tonight. It's spaghetti and garlic bread and then a quick walk on the treadmill before I head to shower and bed. Did I mention I am suppose to have tomorrow off? Yep. Quick visit back to the ortho to pick up the kid's retainer and then we are free!

WooHoo!!!!!

Shopping and Dinner

Dinner was over here tonight. It turned out great. I love to cook.

I went grocery shopping today and bought about $250 worth of food or two whole shopping carts full. Lots of stuff for the kid and his lunches. He can really put away the food. And he stays soooo skinny! It's depressing!

I am throwing some clothes in the dryer now and then heading off to bed. Hope you all had a great weekend.

Ibuprofen Anyone?

I am home and off today. My body is hurting! I worked 14 hours on Friday, starting at 4:30 a.m. and worked another 10 hours yesterday, starting again at 4:00 a.m. I am wore out. I was in so much pain last night, I actually had to take some ibuprofen. For those that know me well, I never take any pain relievers, but I just had to last night. The things I do for this company!

I woke up around 8 this morning, with every intention of sleeping until 10. But with all of the early mornings this past week, I was pushing it with 8 a.m. Grabbed some breakfast and started watching some of my recorded shows. I watered my veggie plants. I have one tiny little pepper growing on my pepper plant. I will take a picture of it tomorrow and post it. That's exciting! I have yet to see a single tomato though. I am getting worried. The plants are about chest high and all I have are a few buds. Any clues out there for me?

This afternoon I plan on doing some much needed grocery shopping. I also want to tackle our spare bedroom. Right now it is a catch all for extra storage and it could use some organizing. I am just so tired!

Hope you all had a restful weekend. I'll try and post some more later.
