Lump

Today is one of those days where I just can't get motivated. It could be that my stomach is all gurgly and stuff, or the fact that I didn't sleep very well last night (too much on my mind), or it's just an off day. Whatever it is, I am so glad that Brittany is such a trooper. She sat on the couch while I laid there (for 2 hours) and did puzzles and watched her favorite shows. Some days I feel like such a lump. I keep thinking I should take her to the library or something, but the motivation factor is not there. Especially because I don't want to do much with my appearance and I'm afraid I will scare the other children there.

So, Keith finally came home on Sunday night (his plane was delayed), but I am so happy to have him back. He is such a wonderful man! Although he is at work all day, when he comes home he is so helpful and good to me. I couldn't ask for a better husband.

Only five more days and Jared will also be here! What a happy girl I will be. I have been much more "sane" this trip and I am so thankful for that. I spoke to Joe and it sounds like Jared is having lots of fun. They went to a water park, he is playing with his cousins, and today he is going on a boat. So, I'm glad that he is having a good time and it helps me to know that.

Yesterday I made out a menu for the week and a grocery list. It was amazing how much less I spent at Walmart by doing this! I made a yummy recipe out of my Better Homes and Garden Book and I felt like a good housewife. Hopefully I will be able to stick to the menu and the budget this week!
