The Weekend is HERE!!!

I am SOOO glad that it's THURSDAY!!!  The weekend is here, and I finally have nothing on the calendar (with the exception of my in-laws coming to visit) until SUNDAY!!!  I am SOOO ready for a few days of nothingness!

I think I might go shopping this afternoon.  Don't fall off your seat.  Yes, it's still me.  I have been needing a pair of jeans that actually fit correctly (the only pair I have that are long enough are two sizes too big - and these are the ones I've been wearing now that the weather is cooler and I can't roll the bottoms up).  I have a 20% off coupon for Kohls.  I'm hoping to make it over there sometime this afternoon.  AND, I saw an advertisement for Payless the other night on TV, and they have the shoes I've been wanting (and haven't been able to find - though I haven't looked too hard) on sale BOGO 1/2 half off (and I've been eyeing one of the other pairs in the BOGO sale as well).  So, I think I'm going to give in to my shoe fetish and need for jeans and go SHOPPING!!  Let's just hope I actually find some jeans I LOVE and not just some I'm "OK" with... then we'll have a happy trip!

We've had our first "canceled" day of school this week.  Yesterday, after getting home from the doctor's office, I could tell that it was going to be a struggle to keep Jenny focused on school (it was about the time that we usually end our school day), and I felt pretty crappy myself, so I opted to delay school a couple of days (we'll have school tomorrow morning instead) and I turned on Sesame Street & Caillou for her.  I put David down for a nap, and I crashed on the couch.  We all felt much better after our morning "off"!

Since it's already after 11am (and I actually got up sans kids before 8am this morning), and I haven't made it to the shower yet or had my quiet time, I'm going to get off the computer for a bit to get some much needed cleansing and QT w/ God.

Q4U: Are you as easily distracted in the mornings as I am?  By the time I finish breakfast (and get the kids fed), put away the clean dishes, check my email, and figure out "life", it's already almost afternoon!  What can't you start your day without?  How do you keep yourself in check and on track in the mornings?
