Sunday Weekly Wrap-It-Up #22

Posted by Sarahbear on August 29, 2010

More apologies for my lack of frequency in blogging. The kids start school tomorrow (cue Hallelujah Chorus). I will be dancing, in the front yard, while singing the ‘Get On The Bus‘ song by the Doodlebops. I adore my babies, but I’m so ready for the break. I should have plenty of time to catch up on all the things I’ve been slacking on, provided my daughter doesn’t become even more of a clinger when she doesn’t have her brothers here to play with.

Things are improving with my mood. I actually think the generic birth control is a better fit for me than the Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. Aside from yesterday, my energy levels have improved, my mood is better and if Chad wasn’t exhausted from his 14 hour days we would probably be doing it every night of the week. Last night we were interrupted by accidentally grabbing the cooling lube (thanks a lot Carrie Ann =p). Sometimes it’s fun to play with, but it was like ice in my crotch last night and it wouldn’t wipe off! It took about 20 minutes for it to wear off and by that time my poor husband was sleeping peacefully. I know he wouldn’t have minded waking up to his wife straddling him, but I figured we would have plenty of time for sex while the kids are at school.

I woke up pretty early this morning and have already got 3 loads of laundry done. Just a load of towels and the bath mats and I will be finished with all of the laundry. Of course, that won’t last long. With 7 people living here there will be another load by this evening when we all get our showers. But for one small moment in time, there will be nothing but clean clothes in my house. Which is good, because I am almost out of laundry soap and I can’t go buy more until Wednesday. Since I don’t have clothes to wash I guess I’ll scrub my bathroom. I’m sure my tub and shower could use a good washing. It’s a strange feeling, to look forward to cleaning. It counts as exercise though and I’m trying to tone up my bingo wings. The only thing that sucks about it is having to take breaks to eat in the middle of it. It breaks my momentum. I have to keep my metabolism up though, or I’ll wind up plateauing on my weight loss progress.

I guess I better get started. Today’s Song for Sunday is “Great Day to be Alive” by Travis Tritt. I hope you’re all having a great day too!
