What a difference a day makes....

Who was that complaining person yesterday anyway, good thing there was that Bible verse at the end- to end on a positive note...

Anyway, I started this morning at 6am on my treadmil, and did my 3 miles @ 5.0 mph. I had alot of running around to do, and I wanted to get my run out of the way- for 2 reasons, so I'd have a fresh start to the day feeling energized after working out, and to burn off any lingering "stresses" from the last few days. Well, it worked, even Jeromy said "there's my happy wife again!".

So I wrote my list out last night so I'd be prepared this morning. I do NOT want to have to go shopping friday for any reason!I got everything done except getting my Christmas cards ordered, but I want to wait till Jeromy is with me to help me pick them out, I just know he wouldn't want to miss out on that hahaha!

Costco wasn't too bad...

Also stopped at JCPenney's to get my shampoo and conditioner at the salon, I am out of conditioner... and my hair is not happy... also stopped at Albertsons and Target...Last stop... you know it...Jeromy has his BNI meeting this morning (Business and Networking group he's a part of) and I had ordered this Vitamin C moisturizer ( love it!!!) from this lady and Jeromy was able to pick it up for me...Then I headed over to Kent's school, it's still hard to believe he's going to a high school (part time), to pick him up. As I write this blog I am waiting for Jade to call, and then I pick her up from OC, then the kids' 4 day weekend begins!

Now I don't want to burst your bubble of how wonderful you think Jade is... cause she is.... but she's been grounded for the last couple of days. She "struggles" with getting her homework/chores done on time... and there's no reason for it... she's almost 18, she needs to get these self-disciplines down now.

So while she's grounded monday thru wednesday (I know, I'm so tough- no computer, video games, or movies- I though about taking her cell phone away, but that would just inconvenience me haha !) I thought I'd help her organize her schedule with a HUGE poster board of things to do during the week that she had to mark off when she was done so there's none of this "I forgot".

Jeromy and I have been adding chores as we find stuff to help her fill in her "free" time. She really is such a great kid, she just takes her punishment with a great attitude. I think she almost likes having everything written out.

Kent has been letting himself slack a bit in keeping his focus, and I was teasing him asking him if he needed to be grounded like Jade, and he said "well, if you think I need it", these kids crack me up!

So as you can see, Jade got everything marked off her Monday to do stuff, so I drew a red star for Monday, and yesterday she said she wanted spongbob for Tuesday, so I found a spongbob sticker for Tuesday... how can I stay mad at these kids, they are so cute and they crack me up.

Anyway, gotta go get ready for work. Take it easy!
