nearly 4 months

Well this is how long we have been back in Utah. It is now time to get back on track with everything. For me this means out of bed by 9am. Since this is when the kids are all at school. I need to start working out again for many reasons. The main one being my health. I have to start getting the house cleaned up before I play my video games. No more laying in bed all day crocheting and watching tv all day. Okay may be just one day a week. I want to start eating as a family a few days a week. So that mean me getting off my rear and cooking proper meals. No more mass cooking then eating what ever is in the fridge. For the kids it means that after school homework first then chores before getting to go out side play laptops watch tv or playing video game. Clean laundry put away the day it is washed and rooms are picked up. Of course the kids are not going to like this one bit. There are some issues we are dealing with here and I think if we get back to a schedule things might help some. I also want to start doing things as a family playing games or outside together. Yes this means having McKay involved as well. That might be the hardest. I have been letting thing slack big time. there is piles of clean laundry downstairs. We can not even watch movies together. Our Office place is so clustered I have to walk over things to get to my desk. So I am thinking of chore lists. Does any one know where to find some good ideas for this. We use to have a jar. I would right down things that had to be done daily the kids would have to pick something out and that is what they had to do. All my kids are old enough to be able to do anything in the house. I also would have one slip be a free day but might not put that in.

ouch

Had a loaf of everything french bread in the fridge that was about to go bad so decided to make croutons with it. Nearly finished cubing it all up I end up slicing part of my nail off all the way to the flesh. Thank goodness no blood. So it is raw and tender. McKay finished cutting everything for me and did not make fun of me at all. Today I will keep him Well this gets me out of washing dishes.
