It's Thurs....my friday (at work)

SOOO LOVE having Fridays off! Especially when they are paid and I am not using any of my vacation time! Tomorrow we head to the Serpentarium for a guided tour and reptiles that have tongues longer than their bodies eating out my hand. My sister in law is not a fan...so we made a deal. I will take her 2 girls (6 and 3) and she will keep my littlest J (10 months) Win Win for us both :) Friday night I am going to a friends house to finish up some sewing projects and chat.We will head to Joann's for some material and birthday initiation supplies for 1st birthday Monkey Style for my tiniest. Saturday we are finally having a day where nothing is going on. We have plans to clean the yard up a bit. We have a huge back yard and it gets bad during the winter, Home Depot for some toilet parts (its not flushing right) and to the Bookstore for my new bible (my birthday present, 2 months late LOL) A few orders to bake for.....nice and relaxing!

I just cant write enough on how much the no TV thing has changed me for the better! Reading my bible, almost done reading Made to Crave, cleaning, working out, organizing, packing lunches and laying clothes out the night before. Mornings are easier, not only for me but for my kids :)

A leprechaun visited the house last night. He left tracks of gold covered coins, a little bucket of goodies for my kids and a new shirt to wear today. The kids were SO excited, trying to figure out how he got in the house and how tall he really is LOL! Love this age.....I will be sad when the believing in all these things goes away.

Yesterday I was doing day 2. (that's my go to day) I went to the store at lunch to grab a few things. Saw the deli department and caved. Now in my head I envisioned this awesome sandwich. I ordered the Sacramento. What I got was DRY sourdough bread, turkey, the thickest pile of cheese, mustard and red onions. They forgot the mayo, the lettuce, um a little skimpy on the turkey....hmm So I picked off almost all the cheese, pulled the top of the bread off and ate half my sandwich and threw the other half away. So luckily I didn't get off plan too much...the bread....should have been wheat and I had a few bites of cheese. I was disappointed that I felt OK to go off plan, then disappointed that the sandwich SUCKED. But in the end it was a GOOD thing....for both ME and my BUTT!

A leprechaun came to your house, boy are you lucky.
I'm glad they screwed up your sandwiche, best for your body.
Keep up the great work.
Take care and God Bless!!

You do more for St Patrick's day than I do. It sounds like your kids really enjoyed it. I never thought of doing things like that for mine.

Enjoy your day at the zoo/around the reptiles.
