Went out with a girlfriend last night who wanted to treat me to dinner and then we went to her house and watched The Other Boleyn Girl......it was very interesting!! Got in at about 12:30 last night and hit the bed. Got up again at 6:30am and woke the girls' and got them off to the bus. I went back to bed for an hour or so, got up, MIke left for work, we had muffins for breakfast, picked up the house, did a load of laundry, then my MIL and I ran to the store....I swear I run out of everything all at once. Found some good deals on some things for dinners and lunches. Got us some burritos for lunch. Also got Katie and I some hummus since I have been craving it. Ela loved getting out for a bit since with the threats of rain we haven't been out and about lately. She was waving at and saying hello to everyone. Then after I got everything put away we had the burritos which turned out to be better than I thought they would be. Did my work out, took a quick shower, and cleaned up the kitchen. Tonight we are having pork chops, broccoli, and mashed potatoes.....looking forward to the broccoli since I have been craving that too lately (no I am not PG just wanted something different than the rut we have been in).  Katie got all her school work done with nothing left over for home work tonight except to do her nightly reading.  The week is going so well with school and still being able to get things done around the house.  So far changing our approach sure is going great!!!!!

Up bright and early with the girls', turned on the coffee pot and had a muffin, got the girls' dressed, hair done, and they brushed their teeth.  They were so excited I even got a few pictures with my camera I will upload when I get a chance, with coffee in hand I walked them to the bus.....told them to have fun, be good for their teachers, and to remember their most favorite thing about the day and their least favorite thing to tell us when they get home.  I came back and made my bed, got out some sausage to go with the beans Mike is making for dinner, got the curtains open looks like it will be a beautiful day!  Got everything straightened except the couch where Ela had fallen back asleep and Katie's room.  Then Ela and Katie got up and we had some toast with sweet potato butter on it.  I read Ela a book while she got awake better.  Katie has cleaned her room, took out the trash, and washed up a little dishes from this morning.  Only things left to do are the sweeping, a load of laundry, the vacuuming, and get Katie started on her school work.  Hoping to get it done start to finish in 3 hours total today.
