It's hard when I start the week already looking forward to Friday. And, by hard, I mean that it makes my week feel like it's sooooo long., On the weekend, Mr. Lovebug is home and helps out with the chores. Yes, I realize that I chose to be a SAHM, but I did NOT choose to work without having some sort of break. I feel horrible for needing a break, but, I'm not supermom and I don't have as much energy as I once did. The house is clean, the laundry is (mostly) done and dishes are done. Why do I feel so horrible? I look around and see clutter and I want to scream. I know it's just an accumulation of stuff from doing what we do: live life. It's certain to happen when you have a blending of households. I should learn to not be so hard on myself about the clutter that is here.
I think that I'll do some spring cleaning this weekend. I've got a few loads to bring over to the Airmen's Attic. I love that the Airmen's Attic is there. It's nice for the in-processing airmen who are awaiting shipment of household goods to be able to pick up a few necessities. It's also nice for the out-processing airmen to get rid of the goods that aren't being shipped. I'll admit that I like to browse the bookshelves while I'm there. I know that I don't NEED any more books but I love to have the variety on my shelf.
On Sunday we'll have our ice cream date (like we do every Sunday) and pick up the last minute things we need for the week. I'm sure that groceries will be on that list. I'm so glad that we live within walking distance to the BX and Commissary. It saves us a bit on gas. Sadly, the price of gas is at $4.49 per gallon. YIKES! I remember in 2008 when Jodi and I were moving from MN to CO and how expensive the gas prices were then. It was crazy but this is worse, I think! I know it won't last forever. That's my hope. It went down after the last price jump, I'm sure that it will happen again.
I think that a trip to the Waikiki Aquarium is in order for this weekend too. As a Christmas gift from her Aunt, Annika (and family) got an annual pass to the aquarium. What an awesome gift!
It's time to take Annika to school... I swear the mornings go much too quicklly!
A hui hou!
