My Life as Mama Jodi

Weekend rewind. If you want to play along, grab the above button and tell me all about your weekend!

Friday ~ Finally I had a normal “Friday routine” day! Groceries in the morning, running some errands, and getting things ready for the guys before I went to work. I tried out a new recipe I found on Pinterest, and it turned out really good! Work was fun, finally got to work with Mellany.

Saturday ~ Woke to the snow flying yet again in Michigan… I know, I know, I should be used to it, but it has been so nice not having lots of it this year. I had a bridal shower in the morning for my cousin’s daughter. I want to get remarried and have another shower! I could use some new household items! I had to laugh when she went on about the best ironing boards ever when she opened up one of her gifts. She received lots of nice gifts.

Then home to veg for a little while before it was time to go out with the girls for dinner and some shopping.

I found a pair of jeans, a hoodie and a shirt for work, I say it was a successful shopping trip!

Sunday ~ The weather was ugly again today, so John decided we were staying home for the day, well until it was time to take Trent to work. So my day consisted of some Lifetime movies and ironing the curtains, and doing some blog work.

What did you do this weekend? Let me know if you play along!

What a week! I am so glad its over with! It seems that when I walk into work, all “h” breaks loose! Today, was pretty calm, but the rest of the week, I just wanted to walk right back out and go home! If only people would stick around and finish clearing things up before the “have to” take off. It would make the transition that much smoother. But nope, they are on their own agenda and to heck with the others. If you really don’t want to be there, then why work!??!

I did my running this morning for my normal Friday routine, and found some deals in the clearance racks. I didn’t see any welding jackets, so the guys at my hubby’s work will just have to wait a little longer. I finished up the last of the knitting for the shower tomorrow, then vegged for the remainder of the day until it was time to head out.

I am looking forward to the rest of the weekend, with a package being delivered, containing my iPhone; a bridal shower, then to round out the weekend a girls night out! Sunday will be a day of vegging with my hubby.

Get back into the swing of things, and also shake some things up! School is about to start, so my routine will return! So excited, as I need to have my routine back! Not only will this be good for me, but for John and Trent as well. They will be started back up on their work out routines, and hopefully this will be the natural fat burners they need to kick start their weight loss/body firming. As for me, I am going to be hitting the gym 3 days a week, as well as going back to counting calories and cutting out all sweets.

In the process of this, I am hoping to find a part time job, to give me some extra spending money and to help rebuild out savings. This will be a challenge for all of us, as everyone will have to chip in with household stuff. We shall see!

Friday ~ Started out as my usual Friday routine, got groceries, then home to get everything ready for Michigan’s Adventure. We had a good time; great weather!

Saturday ~ Did some baking in the morning, then knitting for the remainder of the day/night. John and Trent went golfing in the afternoon.

Sunday ~ Church in the am, then home to veg for the day/night. Still trying to recuperate from Friday’s outing (I’m not as young as I used to be ~ LOL)

Summer is coming to a close. The last two weeks are going to go by fast. This week is the last week for driver’s training for Trent, he takes his written test on Thursday, hopefully he passes; then it will be the fun of letting him drive to get in his required hours to go to the next level before he gets the permit. Friday we are going to Michigan’s Adventure with Robyn and the boys to have one last Summer hurrah!

Next week, is filled with school registration, shopping for school clothes and some supplies, and then the road trip to Indiana for the big drag race! I still need to find a decent, but cheap hotel for a few nights. I am looking forward to this trip, as I love watching the big names that are involved with the drag races!

I still need to make some salsa, if I can find the salsa mix I used last year. Then its a trip to Under the Pines to get some tomatoes! I would like to try my hand at possibly canning a batch of my spaghetti sauce, but not really sure how to go about doing this. I need to get a book on canning from the library and get some pointers!

Then it will be back to the gym every day!!! Oh how I have missed the gym this summer…. wait, did I just say that!?! LOL I need to get back in shape, all that progress went down the drain this summer! Oh well, I have 9 months to get back into a bikini state of mind for next summer!

So good-bye Summer, hello Fall!
