What have I gotten myself into...

My kids have a Halloween party tonight and my daughter's friend is sleeping over. What possessed me to say yes? I don't think I'll ever know. I am setting myself up for a lot of NOs, mean mom looks and the mess that will ensue. Unfortunately my kids tend to behave at their worst when friends are over... It's no fun for moms. So much for all of my hard work this week; getting my house back in order.

My workout challenge is going badly; athough I did get a good swim in today. I don't know why I am so sluggish, but I am... and I didn't get on the scale yet this week -- maybe tomorrow morning. I don't think I have gained any weight, though I don't think I've lost anything either. I really just need to get it together.

Next week my husband will be gone on a business trip. What it means is that I can make the meals I want (veggie, indian, or fish). I can go to bed when I want and I will be able to maintain a clean house (no gross shaving sink, no extra laundry, no wet towels everywhere!!) I should have some extra "ME" time to exercise, get myself together and relax. I SO NEED THIS!

Maybe the break will help me to regroup: focus on relationships, health and wellness and provide a little direction to a crazy busy fall season.

It's hard to focus on so much stuff at once, isn't it? Kids, kids health, husband stuff, cleaning, relationship stuff, AND weight loss. Something has to give. Unfortunately for me its often the weight loss and the cleaning that give. I dunno what the answer is to this.

Hope you enjoy your down time. My husband is leaving tomorrow so I'll be in the same boat, although he may be gone a long, long time.
