The past week was mostly uneventful which is a good thing. 

Monday – nothing!   I worked out and it felt so good.  I am trying to get my distance up because my first 5k of this year is March 24. 

Tuesday (Valentines Day) my work gave me hockey tickets in the suite so me, hubby and SD2 went.  She enjoys hockey games even though she doesn’t understand the game.  It is not hard – put puck in net.  It was a fun night. 

Wednesday was church as usual.  She loves staying busy. 

Thursday we went to a 31 party and she wanted a few new things in the new patterns which happen to be her favorite color – yellow. 

Friday was the end of a busy week.  I washed clothes and made sandwiches for dinner.  We all hung out and just vegged.  I think everyone was asleep before 9pm. We live the life of rock stars! 

Saturday was SD2 first counseling visit.  The 3 of us had a 2 hour block so our counselor could be with all of us, with just me and hubby, with just SD2 then a wrap up with all of us.  A lot of accomplished and that was good.  SD2 liked our guy and seemed open to going back.  At first she was not as her mom had made her believe that only bad kids go to counseling.  I told her that counseling give us skills to deal with unhealthy people in our lives in a healthy way.

This weeks whirlwind tour includes meeting with the attorney on Tuesday do discuss limiting visits with the PEW for SD2. 

Wednesday SD2 takes her driver’s exam and Anna goes to get her fatty tumors taken off.  Thursday I hopefully will be getting new tires on my car.  Again – living the dream.  We have a girls conference this weekend for both me and SD2 and I think it will be a good time. 

Movie reviews:  Went to see “The Vow” on Saturday.  It was okay.  I will give it a 3.  Watched “Post Grad” from Netflix on Sunday and I will give it a 3 also.  Both were good but not great – rent if you want to see either. 

Sunday I meal planned some.  I cooked some sausage and biscuits for breakfast on Sunday and Monday.  I put a pot of chili in the crock pot and ate that Sunday night for dinner.  I made some blueberry muffins for breakfast for a few days and Monday early am I made smothered steak for SD2 to put in the over for dinner on Monday.  I love when I have time to meal plan and make a few things. 

For Lent this year I am giving up wants.  Things that I don’t need but spoil myself with.  SD2 reminded me that this includes pedicures.  Yes it will but it will also be more economical and healthier for me.  It will remind me what I need and what I want.  It will encourage me to meal plan more and splurge less.  To do without when I can.
