Awake!

I have been up since 4:30 a.m. It is 5:10 am now and Sanj is off to the gym. Why am I up? My sleeping pill is not working obviously!!! Oye! Maybe I am excited… I love the excitement that comes with the last day of school before break! The boys have their various parties in the morning and then there is an all school skate at one of the arenas in town. Parents and kids will hang out till 3 p.m.

My mind is overactive. The list is not ending. Teacher gifts and cards, cards for my friends, making sure I have groceries and all the tidbits that I need to feel prepared for the break.

I woke up from a dream I had that my weight scale was broken. OK… obviously food is on my mind. My mom is here. My biggest weakness is her cooking. The second weakness is rice, my comfort food. I can’t say that I will just have a BIT… because a little becomes one more serving… and so on. Her cooking is certainly not lean cuisine either. The amount of oil that is consumed in her cooking on a given visit is shocking.

My kids LOVE her food. They gobble it down. They have their own items of request and she loves to accomodate. It is what her identity is… a good cook. Nothing pleases her more then to feed you and know it was enjoyed.

SO… I refrained from the curry last night. NOT ONE BITE!!! I haven’t made the gym this week… but my goal is that I just maintain over the holidays… and to be back at it as soon as possible.

Sammy is in my bed now. It is funny how as soon as Sanj’s spot is free, someone is there to fill it!

I am excited with the anticipation of the snow storm too. I LOVE THEM. Just let me stay home. Yesterday I got stuck on ice in the school pick up circle driving me crap-mobile.

This brings me to another point… car companies… I don’t understand how you can think that you can make crappy vehicles and expect not to worry about bankruptcy. A very sore point for me… my van has had issues with it from day one!

OK obviously I am rambling because it is 5:25 am and I am usually sleeping at least another hour and bit. Yes, I am excited about that too… the luxury of sleeping in for the next weeks with NO LUNCHES to make!!!

OK… I am going to end my rambling… try to sleep because I WILL PAY later!

Welcome Christmas Break!!!!
