Weekend Plans

Dear James, Daniel and Emily,

3 day weekend for me this upcoming weekend.  Due to the boys having Friday off for Parent conferences.  Which goes towards making this a very odd week for me & the rest of the family, schedule wise.  It started with Kim getting called into work on Monday, her normal day off, which did mean she has Friday off.  Then James came down with some virus, which caused me to stay home with him on Monday, then him to leave school early on Tuesday & Wednesday.  He finally is back to normal today. So I ended up working only 3 days, James only going to school for 1 full day (assuming he stays today).  Very chaotic, threw us all off.

I've been able to get in some form of exercise very day, and more or less adhere to my eating regimen.  But it's not the schedule I would like, so I may not see the big drop this week I hoped for, but as always, I remind myself this is a process, and lifestyle change, not some crash diet. 

So tomorrow we will be able to go see IronMan 2 as a family (save for Emily, who will go to Day Care as normal).  Then we will have the boys conferences.  Then pick up Emily and head home to start cleaning for the Mothers Day Barbecue (not to be confused with the Memorial Day Barbecue). 

Satuday Emily & I will do a swim lesson, then in the afternoon James has soccer, then home for more preparation, and maybe some fun time. 

And Sunday we will host our normal Mothers Day barbecue.  Where we will get to show off the new basement paint job and redone porch, among other things.  I am pretty excited about it. 

So pretty full long weekend, then back to the 'grind' until Memorial Day and end of school year.
