Work, soccer, gym

Today felt like a Monday - yikes. Fires, all the fires, all the complaints.

Nolan's soccer team really prides itself on getting these kids into shape. So he worked really hard today - he is currently passed out on the couch - I have to wake him to shower.

Do you get a high on the gym? I am back in the groove and really trying to get back in shape. On Sunday Molli and I met and had a great work out - arms, abs, a little cardio. My arms are still sore.

It is hard to get there since Nolan has practice three days a week and Monday's the gym is so crowded. So while Nolan practices, I will walk the park and then the plan is to be at the gym at least three days a week.

Back to the grind

Vacation was so nice.

How does one person build up so many emails at work in one week? Crazy stuff - over 260. There were only 13 voice mails. Mondays are the worse.

We came home Friday and DH had to turn around and work a tournament in AZ, he dot home late last night so he is pretty tired and started school today. Back to school for hubby - gonna be a teacher, that is the plan.

Mr. N had such a great time on the cruise, - enrolled him in the Circle C program for 12 - 14, he stayed out late every night. He was on the TV everyday - so if I ever needed to find him, I just turned on the TV. Dancing - activities - hanging out - eating fries and ice cream all day and night.

So back to the grind - at least I am relaxed. Got a lot done today but there is a lot more tomorrow - two more schedules, informational cheat sheets, BEO's, etc.

Wow - where have I been

WORK - WORK and well WORK!

Been working my butt off - but it really needs to get to the gym more than two days a week.

Met Molli this morning - man she looks great - she is at her goal weight - I am so freakin' proud of her.

It is the time of the year - that we have to start our budgets, and this year I have more on my plate than ever - I am so crazy to take on the Special Events department - but it is fun planning the events. We are in the middle of planning New Year's Eve. This is fun meeting with decorators - entertainers - AV - food and beverage. There are so many elements. Not to mention we are working on Super Bowl.

Lots of lay-offs have happened and the employees that are left are so down and have to work twice as hard - I get mad because I keep thinking - they still have jobs, they should be grateful, instead of all this "oh poor me" stuff.

We have decided not to coach soccer this year and move Nolan to a competitive team - the search was long - 2 1/2 weeks of practicing with various teams and clubs - Nolan was at a different practice every day except on Sundays. The result is we found a great coach and a good team where he will play a lot, this team is in the rebuilding stages and we are excited to see them all come together.

So work has encouraged everyone to take early vacations - so I am on VACATION - woo-hoo. We leave to long beach tomorrow for a 4 day cruise to BAJA CA. This happened to be a good time because Nolan's B-day is Tuesday - big 12. Just the three of us - Matt just started a new job and just got back from the Bahamas, so he will stay home with the dog.
