It should really be Friday. Why isn't it Friday already?
Honestly, this week has just been exhausting so far. Between workouts and breakdowns, rashes and runs, then throw in the mandatory cooking and cleaning and this lady needs a break! Unfortunately, it just doesn't look like one is coming anytime soon. Over lunch, we did upper body and I have already promised my neighbor/friend that I would run with her tonight, so we'll add another 3 or so miles to this tired body. Tomorrow I may just take the day off. My problem, however, is I am easily talked into going to the gym over lunch. All Kathy has to do is look at me and say "you goin'?" and I'm hooked. Easy, I tell ya, too easy. Tomorrow night there is a football game. Saturday morning another football game (JFL this time) and then an auction to go to.
I have never mentioned this before, but I heart auctions. Like truly, madly, deeply. I am probably more dangerous at an auction than I am at a casino. And I have to tell you, that one time I went into a casino - no good came out of it :( So, I am totally stoked to see what kind of awesome treasures these people had hidden in their attic, shoved in a corner of the basement or just thrown in a junk drawer that I feel I can't live without! Oh, then if there wasn't a run on Friday, there will be one on Saturday at some point, too. I have also been invited to go to Oktoberfest Saturday night, which should be fun, but there is one person that I am not overly looking forward to having to spend the evening with. But she is only one out of a big group that is going and I really shouldn't let it stop me, especially when the babysitting is already set up.
Oh, and then I really would like to spend Sunday doing some cooking since I ran across this awesome blog and really want to try the lasagna and a few of the other recipes for meals next week. Plus, I think it would be a good activity to do with the kids if they feel like helping.
On another note, I signed Jack up for a grief camp two weeks from Saturday called Camp Courageous. It is a full day at a camp where they will have support groups, crafts, sports and horseback riding. I think I need a camp like that. I would do so much better in that kind of setting than just sitting around in a circle crying. Oh, who am I kidding? I just want to go horseback riding :P

Lori I can't believe after all this time I didn't know about the auction bit. I've never been but my parents *heart* auctions also. They bring home some pretty nice pieces every once and awhile.
My parents, like Marcy's, also love auctions, which is dangerous b/c my stepdad is totally an impulse buyer. They're always coming home with sh*t they don't need. Must be the excitement of the caller, right?
Wow, it's 3 for 3 on auction-going parents. I remember going to auctions all the time as a kid with my mom. She was an absolute addict, and I guess I learned a lot from the experience. If nothing else, it added a facet. Truth be told, I would probably go if I knew there were auctions in my area, given my Ebay addiction.
Being a single parent is tough business... I so admire you for that :-) I, personally, equate auctions with shopping... Not good for me :-)
My boss also loves the auctions. He comes into work with some of the strangest things!!
I was just reading your earlier post. no words can express the loss you and your family have. You are strong and I know you will do the very best you can do... you already are!!!
Hm, wish I had the problem of being talked INTO going to the gym too easily. With me, it's the opposite.
I, too, heart auctions - have fun!
Sounds like you have quite a weekend set up. Have fun!
ever since I started working all I've wanted to do is find camp for adults. If you find one, let me know and I'm there...
I've never been to an auction, but my ex boyfriend would buy items at garage sales and auction them on ebay, does that count for something?
Oh gosh Lori, you've been busy! As per usual :p
That camp sounds awesome for Mr. Jackson! Is he lookin forward to it also? How much trouble is he having with grieving? getting it out? acting out in school? I think of him alot! ((hugs))
Sounds like fun at Octoberfest...is the one your wanting to avoid the one that gave you a black eye? hahahahaaaaaa! J/K!!
I have never been to an auction or have my parents but dh? well that is another story!
"I think I need a camp like that. I would do so much better in that kind of setting than just sitting around in a circle crying."
i think you may have hit on something important here...seriously. :)
Some how I have trouble with Scott's posts and "seriously". LOL
Your weekend sounds awesome. Any type of shopping is dangerous for me so I know auctions would be no different. Can't wait to hear about what you get!
oh i see, no one takes me seriously. (j-mom i'm talking to you)
i'm taking my ball and going home!!
I can't wait to hear about Oktoberfest!! I've always wanted to go to one, but never have....YET.
