Morning Report

So today is the first day. Again. I guess this is supposed to be in long hand, in a notebook. Well, I am not abbreviating anything and I have a notebook computer. No wrong way to do this, right? Hey, pretty clever for the morning. Maybe I am a morning person after all. My mind races with thoughts of robins and sexy dreams and exercise and laundry that is crisp and white. I suppose we should talk to the aqua services people before we do the drastic city water route. Too expensive. I would much rather spend $200 on a pump than $3000 on city water that I have to pay for monthly. But onward to robins.
One of the things I had missed about moving to here from Illinois was the robins. Little Robin Redbreast hopping on the lawn. Of course up there we had yards. Anyway, Sunday morning the yard was full of robins hopping around looking for worms! I took the feeder out there. Today I see all of the food is gone. I will attribute that to squirrells and not birds. Not a majority of birds anyway.
Next subject is my weight. I am rounder than I think I have ever been. It is so bad I've got a hang over on my jeans. I always found that repulsive in other people and here I am. So off to Sam's we go for fish, chicken, vegetables, fruit, milk and soup. It must go away. I must reduce! Grandma used to say that. She was always so tiny and always wanted to loose her gut. well, she finally did, I guess.
Next subject is the squirrells in the roof. I guess I have to be the one to find the trap to get them out as I don't think Tom is going to. I know he forgets when he is not here, but they are going to eat right through the roof. Cute as they are and yes, I will feed them,, but no, I will not house them any longer. At least not willingly.
Change!! Donnie had talked to the principal at his daughter's charter school about me. She has an assistant position open that would be wonderful. It might be a good lead in to a position of my own. I would love to have a classroom!! lately, I feel as if I've been spinning my wheels. It has been six months since I've been in school. Now I have to get my resumes out to the districts. I should have everything ready to go and in the various board's offices by the time they get back to school in January.
Here's where I put "I don't know what to write. I don't know what to write." So I guess I need to check the laundry. there's another issue that is hanging over my head. I am tired and disgusted with the laundry. It's yellow. we bought oxy clean and era and liquid fabric softener and baking soda in an effort to make our laundry whiter and fresh smelling. Tom has a problem with odor under the pits...I guess the proper term is odor on the pits. ANyway, lately it has stayed on his clothes. It's pretty bad although I don't think it's a sbad as he thinks it is. So we shall see if tyhis works.

My exercise plan, or I guess my plan to lose weight, has begun and it goes like this: I will exercise for at least a half an hour each day, if not a full hour. I will eat right and not go the chip route. Which I sabbotaged myself with last night. What's an extra 240 calories when you're 20 pounds overweight? Well, it has to stop. and I have to stop writing as my 30 minutes is almost up. I am hoping this does me some good. Don't know that I will ever be a writer, but I enjoy my own creativity. Hope this helps. So from here I go to Selfdietclub.com and to the bathroom scale and on with the sweats and out of the door. And alter, to Sam's. Until tomorrow.
