I'm tired and I just want to go to bed! Maybe a tad grouchy! Just got off the phone with the son. It's starting already - negotiating "be home" time. We had a deal. Did we shake hands? No. Did we sign a document? No. But we had a deal. My reason for sticking to the plan, was I want to go to bed by 11:30. He solved that problem - he'll get a ride home. So I made another deal. He is not allowed to wake up grumpy or be grouchy all day tomorrow. Did we shake hands? No. Did we sign a document? No. I'm screwed!!!! Well at least it's not me who has be at soccer tryouts by 8:30 in the morning. Oh wait, I do have to be there to drive! What is wrong with this picture?
Moving on - A a nice day today, and this evening I took my nieces to a volleyball tournament at the volley-dome. Susan was the one playing in the tournament, and Jane was there to listen to me rant. I enjoyed watching and cheering, although I am still having issues with how much the rules have changed since I played in school. Come on, how can you get a point if the ball hits the net on a serve!!!! Susan is a setter. I was a setter. Susan is a really good setter. I had really nice runners. Thank goodness for the good time held in the volley-dome, because once it was time to leave. Things got ugly. The parking was unbelievable. Everybody needed help getting out of their parking stalls; at least everyone parking legally. I had to help two people out, and Jane had to give me help to get out! Maybe that's my new job calling. It was difficult keeping a smile on my face, but the sarcastic comments I made helped to relieve the tension. That and the DQ stop on the way home!!!!!
BODY: Got my treadmill and ab workout in first thing this morning. Felt good. To top that off, the pedometer is just over 10,000 steps. Yeah!!!
MIND: I swear this happened. After I dropped the girls off and finished our DQ, I headed home. As I turned into the Hamptons I realized I wasn't smiling and my thoughts although not negative, weren't on a positive setting. So I tried a different trick I learned from the "Secret." When you are trying get on track with positive thoughts find something that is your cue to change your thoughts. Awhile ago I decided looking at street signs or licence plates when I'm driving. So as I turned left onto our street, I look at the car in front of me and low and behold his license plate also starts with LEE. Coincidence (for non believers, maybe) For Me, a sign. A smile came on my face and like my turn onto my street, my thoughts turned in the right direction also.
So I am off to bed (cause I don't have to pick anyone up.)
Night
