I was supposed to spend the day doing things but that didn't happen. I put off getting everything together for Monday's shoot saying I've got time Monday morning. I didn't go laundry because the boys don't need school clothes tomorrow, no school. 

so it was a lazy day! hooray! it'll be the last one for a while!! well until next weekend! :0)

Q barely touched his dinner and asked to be excuse to go lay down. he was complaining of a headache. I chalked it up to too much video games and not enough water. well, apparently he'd got a lil bug. as soon as he was done brushing his teeth... he was upchucking.... poor munchkin.

why do my kids always get sick over school breaks??

wow! I can't believe the hubby and I got all of the boys xmas shopping! in one day!! I guess it helps when it's going to be a small xmas. one less thing to do. just have to get a couple more things for the hubby and something for my family... but I've already got that part planned. and since my bro is coming to visit for xmas, he's saving me money on shipping! 

while we were shopping the hubby told me the bestest news. we'll get our tree early! normally we wait until Dec 10-15 but I guess he's feeling festive and decided we'll do it the weekend after turkey day! woohoo!!

this shot didn't come out at all like I'd planned but it was late. we'd already had dinner while watching Star Trek (even better the second time!!) and the temperature was starting to drop... plus the boys think the attic is creepy! lol

hubba hubba! damn I have a great looking husband! he was kind enough to let me shoot him today after he had participated in a retirement ceremony. ain't he nice?

this one isn't my favorite but I chose it because it shows all of his ribbons, sparks and hash marks. probably Greek to you but important to me. :0)

I'm so glad it's Friday!! it's been such a long week. no one reason but I'm sure the weather turning colder has a lot to do w/ it.

i've done well on my eating all week. not as great in the exercise department but that'll change. for now, i'm happy w/ that.

no school for the boys all next week. so I'm going to do my best to keep them busy and myself sane.....

attending my FNP's ribbon cutting ceremony for their new office turned into a photographic favor when the photographer for the local paper didn't show up. I'd planned to take a few shots anyway, but when the president of the county chamber of commerce asked me to email her a photo or two... it was a lil... well- wow... right place, right time I guess. we'll see what happens....

the rest of the day was spent pretty much in the car, running errands, dropping off my new business cards when all I wanted to do was spend the day in bed. I just felt tired and cold. I didn't work out but I did eat right. I'll push a lil harder tomorrow to make up for it... maybe.... :0p

my brother called me this evening. he calls pretty regularly lately but tonite he called for a reason that he hasn't in forever. he had a date and wanted me to help him w/ his choice of clothes. he's so cute. I miss doing that kinda stuff w/ him. I'll be seeing him for xmas tho. he'd flying out. I can't wait!!

more of the same today! tho I didn't have to workout, which ruled! my quads and biceps are so sore!! squats and lunges are the bane of my existence!!!

my new business cards arrived today. I think they came out really nice. now I've gotta take a stack of them over to my FNP's office and the salon to replace the old cards. I've already given replacements to the hubby and Tracy. (they both keep 'em at their desk.)

the hubby made a lil discovery tonite that had me happy. he had been saying he'd wanted a new pair of Croc's for xmas. so he went onto their site to see what's what. turns out that this week, all NFL, MLB and college themed regular Croc's are only $9.99! I got the whole family Red Sox Croc's for the same price are 1 pair regular price! I've officially started my xmas shopping! :0)

the boys keep counting down to Friday since they have all next week off for turkey day..... oh boy....

no entry for Monday. it was the start of a busy week and I didn't touch my camera.

the beautiful weather has turned. it was freezing (low 40's) and raining yesterday and today. I just hope it warms up a lil bit by Monday!! I've got my shoot w/ Lisa, her son & niece. she called to change days from Wednesday to Monday to see if it was alright if her sister and her 3 children join us. the more the merrier! I just hate to think of all those lil ones out in the cold!! plus the leaves are dropping so fast. I've got to scout the lake and see how it's holding up later this week.

yesterday, I started back on track, for the millionth time. I really need to stick w/ it this time!! I'm tried of being tired and not feeling like  myself. time for change.

I took a lil drive around lunchtime. there is a street/private drive that I pass all the time w/ posted signs up. I never thought anything of it until I noticed a truck parked on the side of it and saw there was this lil lake. so I broke the law today and drove down to get a look myself. the weather was not my friend. the light was crap and the scenery is not nearly as nice as I imagine it is in the spring, but it's what I got for now. :0)

after dinner, the boys wanted to earn some money for concessions tomorrow at school. so I had them help clean up after dinner. they both said they want more chores and I'm all for it. I'm just used to doing so much myself and I don't want them to do as much as I had to growing up. I'll find a balance somehow....

another busy day for the most part. Q went grocery shopping with me this morning. not only was I $25 under budget (yay me) but I got all out turkey day fixins! it's crazy that it's only 11 days until my favorite holiday of the year- Thanksgiving!! the day that I get to force feed everyone... mwahahahaaaa!! I love it!

while we were gone, T finished his first set of make up work. he hasn't been turning in class work or homework in science. his teacher is usually a stickler for not allowing make up work unless you've been sick and have a doctors note. when I emailed her she said she'd allow him to do the work for partial credit. she realizes that he's a brilliant kid who has just been slacking. my lil smarties need to be challenged!!

I tried to talk to the boys about xmas and how pretty much everyone is tightening the purse strings. unfortunately, we always tell them it'll be a small xmas and then splurge. this year we actually mean it! is xmas really just over a month away?? holy smokes....

and so ends the week of Q....

can a day be busy and relaxing at the same time? mine was. 

we ran errands w/ the boys. they combined their birthday money, a grand total of $142 between cash and gift cards, and bought video games. they ended up w/ 5 of them, 3 new and 2 used!!

they still share everything, which is great. they pool resources. if they each get a different Lego set for xmas or a birthday, they share 'em. there is very few things that they don't willingly share. I think it's great that they still work so well together. I hope it lasts a few more years!!

after lunch, I laid down and the couch while the hubby was watching tv and the next thing I know it's 5 o'clock! I took a 2.5 hr nap! that never happens. I don't nap. seriously. I sleep soundly every night and only nap if I'm sick or have a very rare bout of insomnia (usually once a deployment). so weird.

I guess I needed it......
