Praying and Planning For A Good Week!

Looking forward to having a stress-free, productive week! Tomorrow will be my day off so I "plan" to get some things done around the house like laundry, grocery shopping and a little cleaning. I've made a list of things I need to do for the week in order for it to go as smoothly as I hope so I'm going to do my best to accomplish them. Besides a full work schedule this week I am also hosting an office luau on Wednesday and I have quite a few things to do before then, so hopefully my one day off this week will be productive...if not, then the rest of my week could be a mess. As far as the kid...this week I don't really have much planned besides a trip to the library to return items and do homework and I'm hoping to get time to at least get out to the park or take a walk around the harbor. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a busy week so I also plan to make a few quick meals ahead of time in case I don't make it home by dinner time. All in all I'm praying and planning for a good week...I'll let you know how it works out!

It Rained And It Poured!

So Wednesday the "surprise activity" was a no go, thanks to the thunderstorm. Although we made it to te grocery store to get our taco supplies in the nice, bright, shining sun...we walked out of the store to a mini flood. I decided to make it a taco and dvd night instead. After tacos we made some ice cream sundaes and just relaxed. Although I usually only allow my son to play video games or be on the computer for 1 or 2 hours at a time, I made an exception since our fun friday plans were spoiled.

Weekday Activity Surprise!

The morning routine was a little rough today. I think me and my son are both at our exhausted stage of the week so I thought it might be a good idea to have a little fun and break up the monotony of the school/work week. The kid has been craving tacos for a few days now so I think I'll make a pitstop at the grocery store to get "taco supplies" as part of the "surprise day". After our taco dinner I'm going to surprise my boy with a fun open play day at Jump Zone! Open play today is from 5p-7p so we'll be home in time for showers, bedtime and quiet time. I think we'll stop by Rita's for gelati's on the way home. I'm looking forward to the evening. I'll get some reading and writing done while he jumps and bounces to his heart's content. We don't normally do much during the week besides a couple trips to the library or an occasional ice cream run so this should be a blast for him. We will probably both get a good night's sleep tonight to be up and refreshed for the remainder of the week!

Welcome to: The Mommy In Me

So yesterday started a little slow...but not so bad. I was able to do everything that needed to be done before leaving the house (including a healthy breakfast for me and my boy). Work was ok but I was glad when it was over. It was a beautiful day in Maryland so my son spent most of the afternoon playing outside after school. After coming inside we had dinner (grilled cheese sandwiches, tuscan basil tomato bisque and mixed veggies), then off to pajama night at the library and coldstones creamery for dessert. When we got home we both had new books we couldn't wait to start so we had some quiet reading time together after showers and before bed. The day's activities were short, simple and sweet but the kid thought they were "awesome"! Today's friday so I'm sure the next Mommy In Me post will be a little longer and hopefully more exciting...

GOALS FOR THE ROLES....

AS I WORK STEADILY ON BETTERING MYSELF, I WRITE DOWN ALOT OF PLANS AND GOALS FOR MYSELF...JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE THIS ONE. IT MAY INSPIRE YOU :-)

mother...my goal as a mother is to do the very best I can to guide, protect, teach, nurture and provide for my child. to expose him to more than the neighborhood playground and chuck e. cheese; to make him feel comfortable coming to me with any issues that arise throughout his life no matter what they are; to make him feel supported and loved unconditionally; to give him structure and morals as he grows into a young man who will have his own roles to fulfill; i'll leave teaching him how to be a man...to the men in his life
