I'm having trouble getting out of a slump. I don't know if I'm depressed or just tired and uninspired lately, but I just can't seem to get motivated to do much this week. I have made it to the gym a couple times, but when I am there I'm just not in to it. I think maybe I need to get to bed earlier tonight. You know how it is when you are tired...everything seems to be such a drag. I was grocery shopping until 11 pm last night. (didn't get to go until 8:30 pm when Dan got home from working at the college.) We were out of baby wipes and a few other essential groceries. I had enough of a list that I made the 25 minute trek to Walmart instead of the 8 minute drive to Safeway. (I can't bear to shop at Safeway much as their prices are SO high.) Since this was the first time in about a week that I was "away" from the house (besides the gym and school drop offs) I sort of just meandered all over the store, mindlessly looking at things like the new garden stuff and make-up.
I haven't posted a Fabulous Food Friday yet because I haven't made anything of note this week. Last night, the kids ate spaghetti-o's...yeah, you heard me...from a can. Impressive, no?
I think I am just burnt out. Between Saturday and Sunday I did 7-8 loads of laundry, mopped and vacuumed the whole downstairs, cleaned a few toilets and cleaned up the kitchen. I have tried to keep it up, but do you think it looks clean now? NOPE! All my effort and you would never know it. On top of that, all my weight loss efforts are getting me nowhere and if I hear one more person say "maybe you're just gaining muscle weight," I think I will scream. Discouraged, yes! Tired, most definitely. Ready for a girls night...absolutely. I am losing my mind!

Spaghetti-o's where did you learn to do that? I have been there, and sometimes spaghetti-o's out of the can sounds like a nutritious meal.
My dear daughter, you should have posted last night's meal - were the Spaghetti-O's with or without meatballs? By the way, if your Grandma Roush/Mirabelli hadn't come into my life I would have felt guilty if served you all anything but 'from scratch' meals. She was the first person I knew that had admitted she would BUY spaghetti sauce. That was a good thing! She also gave me your first pacifier – another life-saver.
I wish I could come over and help ‘fix’ your life but it seems that I’m a bit tired too. Hopefully, after my next night at the sleep lab and get a C-PAP machine I’ll be waking up and be able to start catching up myself. Yea!
Love ya - Mom
Hmmmm, looks like the elder-Roushes are reading blogs at the same time.

Dear Beautiful Alyssa - maybe we need to meet for a soda or Walmart shop - I think it's that time of year..still winter..and Spring seems so far off - and we just get pooped out. I have taken on cleaning the girls room the past two weeks. Thursday was the designated day and I just forced myself to clean them - and yes there were strings attached. They have both been told " I am not your maid - if you keep your room clean each week - I will pay you $2 per wk, if I have to clean them...they pay the maid $5...more yes..because I don't live in their room. Don't worry so much about the house - just remember your babies are growing up..fast. It won't be long before there is only time for the can of spag-o's..or bowl of cereal..as you are running out the door to the next sporting event or social.
Don't stress - give me a buz next time your in town and we can meet for a treat or something.
