Happy Monday

Well, family and friends, I've made a decision.  A decision that many of you will think is stupid.  Some of you will think I'm weak.  Or a quitter.  Or whatever.  But you know what? Whatever!  Because it's taken just a little bit of load off my shoulders to not have to obsess over one more thing.

I can't pursue the weight / diet thing right now.  I will try again when the kids start school in two weeks.  Then I will be back into a routine of sorts and I won't be running from one thing to another all day long.  It's just too much right now and I feel like all I'm losing is my mind. 

On another note, Ro and Josh are off at Man Camp for a couple of days.  I miss my men already - and they forgot a couple of the men here - Pop and Wookiee!  I hope and pray they are having a wonderful, relaxing time, and that they are creating many wonderful memories.

We had also planned a family trip to Mt. Rushmore for later in the week... until I finally clued in that Sturgis will be starting at the same time.  Not only would we have to deal with the whole motorcycle culture (which isn't that big of a deal to me), but all the lodging prices are way inflated for the next week and a half.  No thanks.

We've decided instead to explore some more of Colorado.  We are headed to Canon City to relax and just hang out and be a family and explore the Royal Gorge, a mini Grand Canyon if you will.  I'm really looking forward to it.  I'm just not looking forward to the days leading up to it.  Lots of to-do's on my list: cleaning, laundry, planning, caregiving, gymnastics, band, more laundry and cleaning, and yada yada yada.  Oh for some Calgon...

Today (or perhaps tomorrow), we're expecting a visitor from the Idaho kin... Dan is supposed to come by.  I think he said Tuesday the 2nd, so since today is the 2nd but tomorrow is Tuesday I'm a little confused.  As usual.  But no biggie... doesn't change the course of the chores for me one bit.

Alas, the buzzer sounds calling me to new adventures in laundry folding...
