We live in a suburb about 20 minutes outside of St. Paul (where we both work). The city we live in has one main road to get in and out of (the side roads take forever). They’ve been doing construction on the main road for the last 2 summers, and this year has been really bad. The lane changes/closures are constant, and you never know what it’s going to be from day to day. Right now, our route out in the morning is down to one lane (stop and go for miles) and on top of that, they have our exit home closed (but, don’t tell us for how long), so we have to find alternative ways in and out of the city. Needless to say, we’ll both be late for work pretty much every day until this is done. I work in the construction world, so I do understand it, but this project was so poorly planned, from start to finish, it’s ridiculous. They were supposed to finish up the project by the end of this fall, and there is NO way that is going to happen. So, looks like we’ll be in for summer #3 of chaos next year.
I left work a little early today. I had an annoying headache all day, and it just kept getting worse. I stopped home, took some medicine, rested for a few minutes, and then went to Target for our weekly shopping. By the time I got home from shopping, I was feeling much better. I made dinner, the rest of the family arrived home, we ate and then Christian was off to watch Monday Night Football with a friend. The girls and I played for a bit, until it was time for Amelia to go down. Olivia and I made our way downstairs so I could do my work out, and then we were both off to bed ourselves. I watched a little TV to wind down, and came up with my latest plan…
My goal for October is to have something different for dinner every night. I’m so sick of eating the same things over and over again, and I’m in the mood to start REALLY cooking again. It's hard to do when you work all day, and then get home so late...make REAL, good meals. So, I’ll be spending this week collecting recipes and coming up with my plans. I think it will also help me to stay on track with my diet if I can really plan around our dinners. We’ll see how this goes, I’m excited though!
Here is a shot of Olivia, sneaking in her bedtime video tonight. She's so cute.
