Thoughts on Thursday
-This weekend is Mother's Day weekend. It is also Comiccon. I don't really mind this, I don't expect Tyler to spoil me or anything, and I want to spend the day with the kids. So we will go and do some fun stuff! I have a few potential things planned :)
-I told Tyler PLEASE do not buy me flowers (they're pretty, but they die and are a huge waste of money). If he wanted to get me something for mothers day, let it be paint and ceiling fixtures for the main floor, and for him to do the work haha.
-My tax refund came in. I love this time of year! One thing I pay into that actually benefits me once a year! What to do!
-Tomorrow night, we are meeting with a neighbours son up the road. He will watch the kids for the first two weeks of summer at our house, which will be a huge help. Then we have Keira starting at Garett's school in the preschool program, and Garett will go to the summer camp run by the daycare Keira will go to. Now I just have to figure out how to tell our daycare provider. It has my stomach in knots, I feel so bad :(
-I am down 16lbs with keto diet. I still personally don't think it's showing, but my clothes are fitting better and I have so,so much more energy/feel more positive all the time. We are just over the 1-month mark. Once we both reach our goal weight (obviously mine will take longer than Ty), we will switch over to Paleo. I have about 40-50lbs more to go before I'll be happy switching over, but have to get my macros in order before serious weight loss occurs. Currently, I am avoiding ALL carbs, and am not meeting my fat or protein intakes. This is bad. So I have to start working it out and doing more meal planning to prevent me from missing meals/snacks. Highly recommend though, it's been great!
-I have been working to empty out/organize all of the cupboards and drawers in our house. We only moved in mid-October, I don't know how things got disorderly in 7 months, but my kids and husband love to stick random items or recycling in places without walking to the garbage can/toy room/office, etc lol
-NEED to get started on our garden bed, but we have very little time. Tyler just aerated the lawn the other day (big job, even with the tractor), and I took out all of the vines from the gardens, and we just keep having fires to burn leaves, wood, and the millions of pinecones.
-We had taken down super hideous paper wasps nests they had hanging , until we realized how many wasps come to our deck area for some reason! So we bought some new ones, and hung them. So far, no more wasps. I didn't realize that those ugly paper nests serve a purpose (apparently they are territorial, and if they think theres a nest, they wont come around). So I will deal with the eyesores to be able to sit out on the deck!
-We need to go shopping for some new patio furniture, and a patio rug, etc to pretty up the back area. I also want something to hang (wall décor) on the side of the house. It was fairly upsetting the other day that it was so nice, and we couldn't eat our dinner outdoors! Looking forward to 90% of suppers being consumed outside this summer. I can't have a wine or beer with dinner though :( Will have to find a replacement summer drink that is keto friendly lol.
-Work is busy, and I get so much done in a day that my head starts hurting and my eyes go crossed. Hence these breaks :) To think about normal real life things is relaxing!
-Started building the kids summer wardrobes yesterday. I popped over to winners at lunch and got an a bunch of summer garb.
-I cannot believe there is only 7 weeks left of school! Garett will be a grade 1, and then we only have 1 more year until Keira goes :(
