Good Morning
It is just so hard to believe that Oct. is already over with. Christmas is just around the corner. I tried to talk to my son last night to get an idea of what his family would like for Christmas but I quess he was busy. My dd is coming today and I will get a chance to talk to her about what her and my sil would like to have. I don't want to know exactly, just some ideas not specific just in general.
I have finished the 4 mile walk. I thought that it was somewhat harder to do because I was not used to it, and I know that this morning was only my 2nd day of doing it BUT it was still pretty intense.
Today I will spend with dd and probably wont do a lot of housework. I do need to clean up the kitchen some and straighten the den. And I need to touch up the bathroom. DD will probably won't to do anexercise tape with me, probably the 1 mile walk, she has the set of 1 mile and 2 mile and 3 mile. She said she like doing the 1 mile best because she can do it in about 20 minutes and if she has time later she can do it again.
If she finishes her laundry early enough, then later this afternoon I am going to run the mower over the part of the yard that is close to the road. It really looks ragged and straggly there. It wil probably be the last time that I run the mower over that area. If I don't do that today I will do it tomorrow.
Menu for the day---
breakfast oatmeal, banana
lunch-salad
supper-honey barbeque pork ribs, brussel sprouts, lima beans, collards and a small salad.
snack-trail mix
exercise-4 mile walk ( maybe more, I will let you know later)
Have a good day everyone
I will check in later.

happy beginning of November. You are right, Audra. I can't believe how fast time is flying by! Yesterday was a long day, but it ended on a nice note, which was good. I did housework from 9am until 4:40pm, with a 30 minute break for lunch. Princess and I got her room done, after several hours of work. I also cleaned up a section of the bedroom, emptied all of the spring/summer type clothes out of princess' closet and dressers, then sorted and packed that which was to go to the sal. army, that which was to be saved for baby, and that which would likely fit princess again next year. Moved some furniture around. Cleaned the livingroom, that sort of thing. Then we took the kids out trick-or-treating, strolling our friends' neighborhood for the better part of an hour and a half. (Oh, and I stopped at just two slices of pizza, turned down a cupcake. After doing all the laundry the day before, doing all the housework I did, and the walking, I was tired - but in a good way - last night. We put the kids in bed after we got home, then watched Sleepy Hollow. Today, I had oatmeal for breakfast. I'm still a little hungry, so I think I will have some yogurt in a bit. Lunch will be turkey, maybe some noodles, and some more squash. Dinner will likely be more of the same, unless I get out to the grocery store. I likely won't get my exercising in today, as far as the tapes, as I have errands to run that will keep me out a few hours after I get princess from school, but at least I will get some walking in while I am doing that. We shall see. Anyway, it's a busy work day today, so I'd best get going. If I don't get payroll done, we won't get paid this week, lol, and that wouldn't be a good thing! Have a good day! Talk to you later!

I just finished my lunch. I had turkey, noodles, and broccoli, about 2 cups altogether. I had also fixed myself some squash, but I didn't have room for it, so I'll save it for dinner. I suppose that isn't a bad thing, eh? After we get back from running errands, I have two chores I'm going to get done tonight. There is a whole lot of housework to be done, including sorting and packing stuff up that is out of season, or outgrown one way or the other (clothes and toys, etc), and just generally reorganizing the place. I also have to get my toiled fixed, and I have new tiles to redo the floor in there with. The tub surround in hubby's bathroom needs to have new tile put up in there, too. The older two kids are going to be here for three weeks around Christmas time, and all of that stuff needs to be done before they get here. Partly because I don't like to have company - even family - when things are a mess, but also because when they are here, there will be 6 of us in the apartment, and the cleaner/neater/more organized the place is, the easier it will be for us all to live together! Anyway, it is an overwhelming amount of work for me, especially as hubby is working so much he isn't any help. So, I decided to break it into little bits, to set myself daily goals of a chore or two, to see if I can get it done that way. I'm going to get one end of the hall done tonight, and I'm going to sort out at least one more basket of clothes. I also have a writing project I need to find time for, lol, but that will likely have to wait until after princess is in bed. Well, my lunch break is over, so I'd best get back to work. Talk to you later!

I did the 4 mile walk, then I had my oatmeal and banana. Then when dd came we went for the 1.6 mile walk down the road. Since I am used to it a little more that her I was able to out pace her and then I would turn around and walk toward her and then walk with her until I would outpace her again. So I might have done 2 mles total.
Then I had a salad, and really did not get any straightening done. But there is always tomorrow for that. For supper I did not have any ribs so I had honey chicken instead and I had turnips and potatoes, and okra and green beans. That is not what I had planned but that is what i changed it to.
Now I think I am going to take an early shower cause I am beginning to have a little sinus problems. I need to takesome medicene and that always makes me sleepy.
I have not had any snacks today.
I will talk to you later.
Have a good night everyone.

Well, I'm not going to get to my chores tonight. It took longer to run errands than I had though for, and I'm tired. Even dinner is something easy. Chicken fingers and fries, straight from the freezer into the oven. Also my squash. I don't know what's on tv tonight, so maybe I will watch some, maybe not. I do need to spend some time writing, so I'll probably do that with the "idiot box" on in the background. Well, I'm going to go. I probably won't check in again tonight, so I will see you tomorrow. Don't forget to vote!!!
