This is what was the theme of my day yesterday. I caught up (almost) on laundry.
Monday was....Monday. It started off that Sunday night late Alyssa informed me they had to be at school at 6:45am for Drill Team practice. Their Drill Meet is this Saturday and they want to get some extra practice in so all week they will be having early practice. Actually, it wasn't a bad thing because I did make it to the gym afterwards...one day down in my goal of working out at least 30 times before Christmas. I did upper body lifting today. I switch back and forth between one day doing weights and the next cardio. And in my weights I switch back and forth between upper and lower body. It seems to work very well for me as that is how I lost 20 pounds last year and was in great shape. I am not doing quite as well now as I have slacked on working out, but want to get back to it as much as possible over the holidays. That way I know I will feel better, but I also won't have to worry about my weight as much and can eat a few extra "goodies".
After I came home, I got ready for the day and started in on laundry and trying to finish what I could. Basically, between picking Alyssa up and dropping her off and going to the bank for Tim, that was about all I got done. Tim was very frustrated with the columns that blew down and he ended up falling off a scaffolding in the wind. Thank God he was not hurt. He came home last night very depressed about running out of money for house building and just being so burnt out from building every day. I tried to console him, but it is hard because I am not sure what to do either. We will just finish what we can and if the house payment is too much, we could always sell it if we have to. I love the house, but I am not so attached to it that I want it to make us miserable. I think we will be fine, but we really need to sit down and make out our budget for after we are in the house and see how it works. I told Tim I could always pick up some extra hours working per diem (for those who don't know I am a speech pathologist and work, primarily in nursing homes and hospitals when I do work). I am always being called or being sent info about jobs that are available. I really don't believe God would let us get into this house and then make it impossible for us to pay the bills. He will provide! Tim really has a hard time when things are not going fairly smoothly with the house and gets really down about it. It is so hard for me to see him like that and I try and keep my attitude VERY positive.
Last night for dinner we had pork steaks with prosciutto, garlic and lemon sauce; italian green beans (Tim said they were the best green beans he had ever had) and salad for dinner. I think that made him feel a little better. He fell asleep not long after dinner on the couch from being so tired from the wind and working so hard. I couldn't wake him up to go to bed so I left him there for a while and went to bed myself. He did get up a little later and come to bed. It was super windy again last night, but he said this morning that nothing else blew down. Hopefully they will get a lot of work done on the trellis today so it is sturdy.
