Do the Next Thing...

Have you ever been in this mode? I simply need to keep doing the next thing.

We got to talk with Mike this a.m.

I got a work out in. Jamin has created a weight circuit for me to do but I didn't manage it this a.m. I'm not sure how to work it in. I don't know if it should replace one of my step workouts or be added to the workouts...since I didn't have time to add it and couldn't figure out what else to do with it....I did the two 8 Minutes in the Morning moves. LOL

We finished school. Jared, Arielle and Nolan are all trying to do two weeks of TOG each week until Mike gets home. In theory, this will leave them the rest of the year to focus on other subjects or to play...or maybe do all the fun things we aren't doing as they try to zip ahead. THIS was not MY idea. ::snort:: All of a sudden I needed MORE library books, needed to order MORE books I can't find at the library etc. I'm so thankful that Josiah drives now. He loves to do the library run. Off he went with a three page list. He found all but one of the books.

I planned to make bread. It didn't quite happen. We were invited to the park, but we stayed home so that we could get our library list compiled for Cy to take to the library and so that we could "do the next thing". We need to focus.


I cooked dinner (which was not what is on the menu in the sidebar - honest). We had oven fried chicken (again! But it is something everyone eats), oven fried fries and corn, salad and fruit. I was going to make biscuits but didn't have oven space.

We read some Jungle Book. I am really trying to figure out some books that will interest all the children/youth...but I'm struggling here.
Arielle didn't get sick today. Jamin's boil has started to ooze...or something...anyway HE'S convinced I'm not taking him to the doctor. We'll see.

If I watch your cursor long enough does it mean I've exercised for the day?

Sounds like the kids have good goals. I'm a bit in that mode since it seems like winter has been here forever and I want to sit in front of the fire not do the next thing. LOL

I love your cursor! OK, maybe you should alternate your weight routine and step-workout days. You could fit it in that way and you don't HAVE to do both every day LOL.

Your day sounds good. My kids used to make up puppet shows. Our living room wall has a little window on it that goes through to the stairway landing. Perfect puppet stage there. I miss those little years. Doug keeps telling me to be patient because eventually we will have grandchildren. That doesn't do much for the baby cravings, but what choice do I have :)

Sis: Love the exercise cursor.

'NEXT THING"....HA!... I have been living in that mode for 9 months ever since Dad had his accident. I just can't get it all done. Actually when I get home from work all I want to do is sit and that generally means I fall asleep!

Very cool cursor. I wonder how many situps he does while we are all checking out your blog.

I have always had a problem with the "next thing" thinking. I see everything as a whole and get overwhelmed.

I think it is great that the kids are motivated to get ahead so they can "play" when Mike gets home.
