Great works of verbose prose are in the making. I swear. There are so many thoughts floating around in my head, it is hard to remember everything that I want to. But, for now, some daily doings:
More boxes came in the mail today. These were from an online retailer, delivering the last of some Christmas presents – just on time, I might add. Super-saver does not save any nervousness. SE was excited again by the boxes: “WHAT is in THEM?!” But he lost interest after I told him we would go upstairs and print out more little boys, like he asked. We had lots of fun coloring them yesterday (a whole 10!), so today I printed out 15. Daddy even made one after I went to work. I’ll have to take pictures.
Today we signed up at the healthclub. For 12 months, us and the kids. I think it’s 84$ for the two of us, plus 20$ for the boys – that includes childcare and use of the pool when it’s open swim time. I’m pretty sure it’s any kid under 21 for that price, so when they get older, that will be nice for all of us, even more. And, for signing up for a whole year, we get January free. And if we decide to quit before the year is up, it’s only the month of January’s fee that we would owe (no penalty!) .
Since we had to sign the papers and stuff at 12:30, I wasn’t able to try out the yoga class, which was at 10. So tomorrow, I may do water aerobics again, or just some cardio and maybe some circuit training for the old muscles. I don’t know yet. I suppose it depends when I get out the door! It’s very easy to just go, but when a class starts at a certain time, there is always something that sets me back a couple of minutes so I’m completely rushed.
This exercise thing is going to be nice. I can already feel a difference in my leg muscles. They are less lax and flabby than they have been, more poised, I guess. It’s a nice feeling.
Since my boxes came in the mail, I am completely done with the presents, just need to wrap a couple. After T wraps my presents, then I am free to go use the wrapping paper – I have it all set up on the ping-pong table. I think I can do that Saturday, since we are leaving for my parents’ house around lunch-time, I suppose. We aren’t in a rush since we will be doing the in-law Christmas celebration next weekend. It is a relief not to have to drive all over the state in three days!
Saturday morning, I would like to go to mass and then confession and then maybe to work out again before we go. It will be a nice way to start the Christmas celebration. In past years, we have been somewhat out of the actual church celebration what with all the travel trying to visit everyone at certain times, all squished into one weekend or several days. I hope to take advantage of this year and be able to go to the vigil on Sunday night and mass in the morning.
As for tonight, I think we have some season 4 to watch! Here’s to hoping I don’t stay up all night.
