Day 118 - 247 Days to Go

Short note today. Went to bed late last night. Was really tired this morning. Must try and get back on a regular schedule.
Got lots accomplished around the house though.
Had to teach the son a lesson today. Last night I asked him to make sure he had his soccer stuff already for this morning. He gets a ride to school on Monday mornings with Bill. When he left, this morning, the son came in and asked if i could look for his Apex ball. Then around 1:45 in the afternoon, the phone rings for the second time. I get up and it's the son. I'm thinking somethings wrong because he's calling me during school hours. So I pick up and say "Hello" - nothing on the other end. Well there's something, but no voice. All I hear is background noise. So now I think maybe he accidentally dialed home. After about 30 seconds I barely hear "check your messages" . So now I'm thinking maybe he's not going to soccer and wants to make sure I don't waste my time coming to get him. So I run and get my phone. I mean I try and find my phone, but I haven't had it for 4 days so I have no idea where it is. I think it's in my purse, but I haven't used my purse for 4 days. Did I mention I was sleeping when he phoned because I was tired from not going to bed early. So now I'm getting a little annoyed. So I finally find my purse in the furnace room, behind the chair used for the computer. Yup there it is. But wait, it hasn't been used for 4 days and it's turned on. Low batteries. So I run it upstairs and plug it in. Then I proceed to the text messages, and it reads............. "Could you bring my black headband with you. It's in my red soccer pack in my room." yup wanted to strangle him. But being the good mother that I am (or as he likes to say "whipped") I open his bedroom door, scan the room for a red bag, don't see one, shut the door, take a deep breath, and get on with the laundry. By the way, I didn't find the Apex ball either. Turns out, he left it at Apex last week, and the coach had it all along. --- a head band. He wanted a head band --- get a hair cut-------

BODY: Got over 11,000 steps today. I think most of that was from going up and down stairs doing laundry and cleaning. But then I was working at soccer with the little ones again.

MIND: Quote from Stacey Wee - "They aren't teenagers forever, and their braincells to come back; so I've been told." I think someone learned a lesson today. Too bad it wasn't the son. hahahahahahh

Early night, or so I thought
