Shortish Week

This week should be relatively easy. I have an in-service on Friday so no kids (yay!) and an IEP on Friday morning but other than that, things should be pretty routine. Although, I say that and there's a ton of stuff happening to mess up the schedule: class meetings, testing for ESL students and then they've rescheduled the pep rally that got cancelled due to a snow day. So all the plans that I made for the week are pretty much scrapped. That's okay though, I'm nothing if not flexible.

The weekend was good. Jim took Friday off and so after I got out of school, we met at Shooters. From there we came home and I made him a lovely steak dinner. It was the first time I'd had steak since probably August and truthfully, I only ate a couple bites. I purposely bought a tiny steak for myself and then let Jim eat the rest. Saturday, we just spend the day hanging with the pups and then we headed out for dinner at Scottis around 5:30. We went with Doug and Lauren and met Dan and Christine there. It was a lovely night and dinner was yummy. But again, I didn't eat much of my dinner (I got the spaghetti and meatballs) because A) their soup - which was amazing - filled me up along with the salad and B) I just wasn't that into such a heavy meal. Oh, I forgot that Jim ordered all three of their featured desserts (cannoli, some sort of ice cream and tiramisu). I had a bite of each and two bites of the tiramisu which was amazing! This was not a weekend for my diet.

Sunday was a lazy day. I did my yoga which sort of kicked my ass (not complaining). I managed to just about do the splits! (Sitting sideways, not forward.) Who knew!? I also managed to do three back bends and hold the pose for 5 breaths each. That's hard! For me! Anyway, Sunday, I just did some laundry, put my wine racks together, finished a book and watched TV. I made a really yummy dinner too: Slow cooked chicken with spicy peanut sauce (1 point). It came from a WW recipe book that I downloaded from the library. I'll definitely make that again.

Jim's still on 2nd shift. It's fine...makes the dogs happy but I'll be glad when he gets back to his regular routine and I can consistently cook dinner again. I still cook but it's just not the same.

Scout is being a turkey again with his eating. He just isn't into eating right when he gets up and so I have to feed him separately from Boo. Boo's pretty good about it but it's annoying. Scout came down this morning, went out and then sat on the stairs waiting for me to go back upstairs to take my shower. When I went up, he ran back up and is now snoozing in bed with his daddy. I guess I can't blame him. And I don't know why he sits on the stairs waiting. There's nothing preventing him from getting to Jim and cuddling. He's a kook.

Okay well, it's raining again. I'm so sick of this shit weather! I'm sick of rain and a muddy backyard and rain and flooding and rain! Pretty much we're looking at rain every day this week except Wednesday. Lovely.

K - I'm out. Happy Monday! Later!
