Sit Back and Enjoy the Ride

A sample of the goings-on:

• My Tivo hath risen from the dead … praise be to Buddha (I don’t know why, but he somehow seems Tivo related). This miracle happened on Monday and I still have not watched anything.
• We have cooked at home three nights this week!
• I have made it to the gym three mornings and will go today before lunch.
• Ben was introduced to Chicken Gnocchi soup (@ Olive Garden) and was something of a fan.
• My shins are killing me (see item above re: gym).
• I have an entire box of clothing (again) that Ben has outgrown (see item above re: soup).
• There are approximately 10 loads of laundry to do. Wonder who will do them?
• Our paperwork is piling up because the computer attached to the scanner died a fiery death. We have no $$ to replace it (see items below re: basement).
• I made excellent strides last night on my freelance project. And will continue this once the kiddos go down for their naps this afternoon.
• I convinced Matt not to insulate the ceiling of the basement (this as a sound issue and not a heat issue), which will save us around $250.
• The new sub-panel for the basement was installed this week. Handy hubby is wiring the space up this weekend. Drywall starts MONDAY.
• I think my dwindling bank account and general chaotic atmosphere is giving me stress headaches. Have had two so far … not a fan.
