| This blog has been more work than fun nearly since I started. I'll be
taking it down sometime this week. I'll still be around reading and
will likely post comments as GinaMS.

| I hung five loads of wash out yesterday trusting the weatherman that we
wouldn't get rain yesterday. Soon after lunch I looked out to see the
sky looking pretty dark. A few minutes later I started seeing big rain
drops on the deck. I flew outside grabbing my nearly dry clothes and
stuffing them into the basket. I got inside just before the skies
opened up. It then rained *hard* for the next hour.
Not much happening today. We need to get to the store for things like
milk, bread, yogurt, cereal and of course WW friendly ice cream. I
swear I'm addicted to Edy's Sugar Free. The Fudge Tracks flavor is to
die for! The little 1/2 cup serving is the highlight of my day. Someone
at my WW meeting shared the other night that the Kroger Light Ice Cream
bars are only 2 pts. I'm boycotting Skinny Cows because they changed
their formula and now they are 3 pts instead of 2. Not nice. I can
justify 2 pts for a treat but 3 makes me think harder.
So that's my story on ice cream. Big deep thoughts here today on SitcomMom.

| Lori I can't find your Homeschool Blogger
site. You would think all the time I've spent there I would have found
it by now. If you haven't read there, try it but its addicting. Truly
addicting. I would sign up my own there but as you may have noticed, I
have a hard time getting here to update.
I told Lori this morning that I was trying to be on the computer less
these days. Yeah well that's apparently over. I've been on and off all
day. I did however get some work done so I earned this. Right? Right.
Go with that.
What I got on here to tell all of you is this....I'm picking Lori,
Friend Husband and darling babies from the airport when they return
from Ethiopia. How cool is that??? I must make a mental note to control
myself though. I don't want these poor children to remember someday
that one of their first experiences in the US was with this crazy lady
oohing and ahhing in their faces gushing about how adorable they are.
Oh I'll still ooh, ahh and gush but I'll try to be more reserved.

| I talked with Immax3
this morning for awhile and complained about my lack of motivation. Hey
Lori, while I'm thinking about it, you need to change your blog to
Immax5. FIVE kids. 1-2-3-4-5! FIVE of em! I just like to see that
little vein her head throb.  Before any
of you think I'm being mean, understand that Lori and I joke around a
lot. We both know the other one is messing around. I am so very happy
for her and can't wait to meet her new babies.
Anyway my lack of motivation. Its bad. Very bad. It took me until 10:10
this morning to get dressed. I wandered into the computer and its now
11:25. So much for my vow that I was going to get back into doing
Flylady and organize school this week.
I have indeed put my name into to WW to start working for them. There
isn't an opening at my meeting right now but we're fairly centrally
located so that I could be open to several meetings within a
respectable amount of drive time. Last night after my meeting I went
out to eat with three WW employees. I said "so what's it like to work
for WW?" They said its like being a prize fighter. What? They get
weighed once a month for Lifetime status and then weighed again at
every monthly meeting. If you're over, no more work for you until you
lose it. Yikes. I'm doing this to keep myself honest and I think it
will work nicely!
I didn't lose. I did however stay exactly the same as last week. Right
down to the same tenth of a pound. How strange is that? Two more weeks
and then I'm a Lifetimer!

| Our alarm clock is set to go off with music rather than beeping. I tend
to get the first song I hear stuck in my head all day. This is what I
heard today from the Christian radio station. Its called Grace Like
Rain by Todd Agnew.
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found.
Was blind but now I see so clearly
Hallelujah! Grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah! All my stains are washed away, washed away
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed
Hallelujah! Grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah! All my stains are washed away, washed away
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing your praise
than when we've first begun
Hallelujah! Grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah! All my stains are washed away, washed away
**So in other SitcomMom news....I've got a hair appointment at 1 today.
I don't know what to do. DH wants it longer. I want it short. I go to a
girl from our church. I think I'll go early and look at her books for
ideas. Its one of the most expensive salons in the area so I try to
stick with just the basics. I would love to get highlights but can't
justify the cost.
Other than that nothing happening today. Its rainy and yuck. Our
library is having a party all day with cake and ice cream. I promised
the kidlets we would stop there after my haircut. We'll go to the Y
tonight to exercise. I feel like maybe I've lost this week. Maybe not.
I'm being very conscious of getting all my H2O and fruit/veg in this
week.
Have a great day!
