independance weekend

Jean-Jacques is home, my family is gathered around me and we are all sleeping in the same house. I am truly a lucky woman. We have had a week at home with two swim meets, so kind of busy in the evening. No time for yard work or house work, so now you all realize how I am going to be spending my weekend. The very difficult part is that it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL outside and I am going to have a hard time keeping to my task when I look outside. But, such is life, and things do need to get done.

Last night was the swim team camp-out and my beloved husband stayed in the tent with the kids so that I could stay home and sleep in my own comfortable bed without feeling guilty that the kids couldn't stay at the pool. So to add bo my wonder and amazement and general overall good feeling, I also got a visit from Melissa! She looks fantastic and things seem to be going well for her. We visited Trader Joes and then talked for awhile and had a glass of wine. It was wonderful.

I ate like a pig this morning and used a lot of my WW point allotement, but I know that I will do a lot of activities today, so I will be able to absorb the points, plus I haven't used any of the flex things this week. With this weather I am sure that I will be playing tennis and swimming today - but that also means that I will want to eat a sizeable dinner to give me some more energy. I only have to plan it out, right?

A long and wonderful three day weekend and with the correct planning, we can get everything done today and have the rest of the time to enjoy eachother. What a great thing. I think that we are pretty lucky and we intend to take advantage of it. Now to get off my but and actually start doing some of this stuff. I'll check in later.
