Monday, and the hubby's back at work. Ahhhh. He was starting to irritate my nerves, being home since mid-Wednesday and all. Our weekend was boring. I did some cleaning on Saturday, although not much. Yesterday I finished the cleaning, finally caught up the laundry, redecorated my living room. I did a little bit of deeper cleaning in the kitchen, rearranged my counters and washed the wall behind the stove. I could really use a backsplash. I hate the way mobile homes are made, so cheap. If we build on, I'm having the original trailer redone, in addition to building new rooms. Seriously, no baseboards? Things like that is ridiculous. But it's a place to live, keeps me warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and it's mine. I could be paying rent to someone else, I suppose.

My countdown to a healthy life is on. Darrell is going to be in for a rude awakening soon. As soon as my Mom gives me my Christmas money I'm going to join Weight Watchers online, and then buy an umbrella stroller for my daily walks. Darrell's getting new bulbs for the fish tank with his part of it. I'm getting excited about it though. Maybe I can encourage Darrell to give up some of the sweets and Diet Coke. Probably not though.

It's raining outside. There's supposed to be a front coming through today taking us down to the 40s. It's been too warm these past few days to be December. And we're supposed to hit the mid-60s the first couple of days of January. Craziness.

The kids got up and I fixed them some breakfast this morning. Kenzie fixed Nubby some food and they were all eating. Then Nubby came over and puked up a bunch of dog food right next to Mackenzie. She then decided that she had to use the bathroom before she could clean it up. Hunter ran out of the room gagging, and then Shelby went to Hunter's place at the table and started eating his food. Kenzie finally got it all cleaned up, I couldn't look at it either without feeling queasy, so it was all her. Then, after breakfast, I had Hunter go get the dirty clothes basket from their bathroom so I could do a load of clothes. He stepped in a big pile of dogshit right outside the bathroom door. So Nubby got an all expense paid trip to her kennel! ;p

Today I have to do that one load of laundry, vacuum and mop. I hate mopping when it's raining, but my floor is too dirty to wait. I think the kids and I will make some Jell-O in a bit, and I'll let them cut it out with cookie cutters to make those jiggler thingys. Mackenzie just came in and asked if she could get on nickjr.com. LOL She loves the computer, maybe as much as I do. Scary thought, that. Must go now, there's screaming in the living room.
