Went to the gym again. Only walked for an hour, but that's an hour more than normal! I feel a little stiff and sore. Was going to get off the treadmill and get on the bike, but just never did.
Then we went to Toys r Us to look for Matthew's trains. Gordon and Henry. Try taking a two year old and a four year old to Toys R Us. They were pretty well behaved.
Rebekah is doing really well at the potty training thing. She stays dry for long periods of time. Good thing, cuz I don't like spending so much money on pullups! Those things are expensive. $15.99 for 40. That's 39 cents each after my coupon! That's a lot of money. About six a day, so roughly $70 per month in pullups!
So, here are the top ten things I can buy when I no longer have to buy pullups!
10. Start a coffee habit and get one starbucks per day
9. One nice meal out per month.
8. Monthly payment on a jacuzzi.
7. I can pay off my gym membership.
6. Scott can work fewer hours.
5. Two extra tanks of gas in a month.
4. Pizza delivery twice a month.
3. New clothes for my new figure.
2. New clothes for Rebekah.
1. Pay off the Christmas presents!
So, I am so proud of my little girl! :-)
Scott is sick of turkey. We had to make another turkey on Monday night. I had two in the freezer from the beginning of the year, so I had to take those out when I got the buy one get one free turkeys this year. But the one I took out for Thanksgiving didn't thaw out in time, since Scott's mom was supposed to get it and she didn't tell me until Monday before that she didn't get it. So, he had to buy a fresh one on Wednesday night. So, we had three turkeys in addition to Thanksgiving's bird (which leftovers we left at Uncle Bud's house!).
I don't know how else to use the turkey. I have a whole bag full of turkey still. I made turkey enchiladas last week. Those were good. He doesn't want any more of any of it. Any suggestions on how to use all the turkey? It is cooked, boned and sitting in the fridge.
We are having meatballs and ham for Christmas eve. That will be here. Thanksgiving was at Uncle Bud's house. Scott's uncle. They live about 5 miles from here. I brought all the food there. Turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy, green bean casserole, jello, pumpkin pie, chocolate pie. At least for Christmas I won't have to transport everything. I am not making everything for Christmas, either! I have to have time to clean my house! And I am throwing them out at 5:00pm so we can go to church! Then, we will come home and have birthday cake. Should I make chocolate or lemon?
I guess I will be going to the gym a lot between now and Christmas. Lot's of future calories to work off. Plus, I hear that it gets pretty crowded after the first of the year...

Tired
Went to the gym tonight. Walked four miles in 85 minutes. Read an entire magazine during this time. How often does this happen? Like, never. I left when the kids were in bed, but not yet asleep. Hubby was asleep, though. Doesn't like it when I am gone at night, but, I really want to go to the gym.
So, I have been thinking lately, and this may not come out the way it does in my head. Christ is with us always. He is with us when we see something we shouldn't look at. He is with us when we mutter something under our breath. He is with us in the car when we get angry at another driver. So, why do we not talk to Him as though He is standing right there. Why do we not treat Him as though He is at our side? Why do we think we can "get away" with things, when He is right there watching our every move? I don't mean like a surveillance camera, smile, you are on film, but more like when you are walking around the mall and just relaxing and you turn to your friend, Jesus, and talk to Him. He isn't far away. He is with you, right NOW. We can just call out His name any time, any where. Neat.
Jessica was praying over her breakfast. She asked God to talk louder so she could hear Him. She said she doesn't always hear what He says to her. I don't think she knew I was listening. It was very cool.
I don't know how I am going to get through this whole Christmas thing. My house is such a mess and I just can't seem to get ahead of it. Laundry, stacks of it. Dirty dishes in the sink. Not done emptying the dishwasher. And I HATE junk mail. I can't seem to get rid of it all. Christmas cards to finish. Living room to clean up. Carpet to shampoo. Play room to clean up. Junk to hide. Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...
