Drama Queens

WHEW! Is the word of the day and I must say the coffee can't perk fast enough this morning.

Awesome costume, Julie! I would say, she could pass as a wonder woman!

Mom, can't say I have ever locked myself in the bathroom to eat pre-purchased Halloween candy. Would that be a CONFESSION???

OK...back to WHEW. DRAMA in the Japenga household from last nights major drama over coordinating a 13year old birthday party with her best friend, to a tired Friday morning 'get up for school', put your shoes on, brush your teeth, eat your breakfast, get dressed, is your back pack packed, and let me emphasize that each of those statements was stated at least 5 times with an increasingly louder and louder tone of voice, so that by the time it came to get in the van, it was at it's peak and every privilege in a 9 years old's world was being ripped from existence!

Can you say, WHEW!

Which thank goodness, I didn't solve the no food in the house dilemma yesterday (yes, my children did get supper and breakfast) because after walking in the door, I could have devoured the fridge, stainless steel and all. Claire, can I borrow the costume?

OK...coffee is done and first sip on board....breathe in, breathe out.....ahhhhhh....

Good news on the home front, partner. Madison had dance yesterday, which can inform you that the dance studio is RIGHT by DONUTLAND?

Dad, I will have to challenge you to a taste test between Donutland and Caseys.

Donutland WINS hands down!

So, last week, hmmmmm what to do for an hour while Madison has dance? hmmmmm...I will stop at donutland! GREAT IDEA! This week, hmmmmm what to do for an hour while Madison has dance? hmmmmmm.......I will drive about 1/2 mile up the street and walk the trail at Noelridge park for a total of 3 miles! GREAT IDEA! Just ask, I am full of them!

So, Sugar didn't get voted off Survivor last night, WHEW! I was a bit worried towards the end.

I am off to paint my new office/studio location today. That should burn a few calories, then kick some butt in kickboxing tonight at 4:30. And may be I can work up some more mommy RAGE before then to take out on those punching bags! Well, see what after school brings.......ha,ha,ha,ha..that is my evil mommy, witch laugh!

Not much on tap at the Japenga household for the weekend. chillin, sewing, and a few house projects. A camp fire sounds good and smores!! Do they make fat free hershey bars?

Have a great FRIDAY! Time to refill the coffee.

Stay warm, partner. May be by being cold verses warm, your body works harder and burns more calories. Perhaps you should consider having that part delayed a few days longer? Just a thought?

1/2 mean (and may I put emphasis today on MEAN, according to Madison), lean, green machine
