Weekend Wrap Up

Should probably wrap up or at least catch up on this last week before wrapping up the weekend.  This last week got away from me like a runaway train. It's great that the week went by so quickly but I felt like so many things were abandoned because of it.

Progress in the bathroom should start picking up. The plumber is coming today.  Yes! On a Sunday! Strange, I know. He's actually working for his son now so he's doing this job in his "spare" time. He should be able to get all the major stuff done today so we can at least start working on putting things back together.  Later in the week, we're hoping to start tiling. Can't wait.

My son is finishing up his last week of school. He has two and a half days left. I can't believe how late we are in this year!  I guess it's the price we pay for going back after Labor Day (the way I like it) and making up all those snow days. It's been a blessing though that it hasn't been that hot.  That is about to change though. Brace yourselves, Mama is about to get grouchy!  :)

The sporadic gym time is killing me.  I can't wait for my trainer to get my at-home routine set up.  I do have some things that I know I could be doing and I will start doing this week when the end of the year stuff is all wrapped up for my son.  I feel like I've been nonstop with running around between all the things I have to get done for him and this bathroom. I just haven't had the energy to add in something else. I know it's a bad excuse, I'm just being honest.

Weigh-ins...my scale is now all packed away. That being said though, I did check on another scale and I seem to be stable. I know the scale I weighed in on on Wednesday is a bit off from mine but I'm not sure by how much. If my estimates are correct though, I was even last week. Going forward, I will just use that scale to weigh in and will make adjustments when mine can be taken back out of storage.

The biggest roadblock for me right now happens to be my back. My lower back is achy and driving me batty.  I can't sit for too long, can't stand too long. I thought it was because TOM was in town but now that he's left town, (TMI, sorry) things aren't getting any better.  I can't tell if it's muscular or if maybe I have something else going on.  I may need to suck-it-up and get to the doctor because it's really affecting my attitude and progress.

And on that note, I must wrap things up. In the ten minutes I've been sitting here, my back is starting to give me trouble. We have a million things to get done today. I don't have time to add in back trouble.

Have a happy and healthy day!

  1. I'm sorry you are having some back pain. It does sound like a Docs visit is a good idea as I wonder with all the running around you did (getting in and out of the car) maybe did something? I hurt my arm doing curls last week and now have to suck it up and go to the Doc's. That said, we do what we can right?

    1. Thanks Linda! I don't know about you but I hate going to the DRs. Sigh. I'll call tomorrow.

  2. If your back is giving you that much trouble, absolutely see a doctor. That is a long time to be in school too, wow!

  3. Hi Jenn! Well, your thoughts are going many directions. That frequently happens to moms of school-aged children on the brink of summer vacation. Perhaps a simple to-do list would make your life feel easier.

    Get the back checked and ask the dr. for rehab back exercises too. :D

    1. Hi Marion!
      You are right about my thoughts! I can't keep anything straight in my head right now. I have a love/hate relationship when that happens!
