Fun days ahead

I tried to figure out a way to get sarcasm into my title but it’s not possible.  Today, and most likely tomorrow, hubby and I are installing new appliances.  I don’t know if I wrote about it on here but our fridge is starting to conk out and we decided to replace the whole set b/c we’ll be moving in about 2 years and that way we can say “new appliances”.  Everything but the fridge arrived yesterday (of course, the 1 appliance we NEED is backordered until Aug 28th) so right now I have 2 ranges, 2 dishwashers and 2 microwaves in my kitchen.  After going to the gym this morning (60 min on bike at a resistance finally high enough to get my heart rate into the 130’s), I spent the next hour cleaning my oven.  Funny how I didn’t care that it was dirty when it was cooking my food, but since we’re going to try to sell our old appliances they need to be clean.  I did 2 rounds of cleaning and although it’s not perfect it’s clean enough.  Next I’m onto the microwave and then we’re going to start taking things out and putting the new stuff in.  I’m excited to see how it’s going to look w/stainless.  I’m sure it will be awesome…then I get to go crazy trying to keep 5 year-old hands off my stainless doors :)

Overdid it a bit on the dark chocolate M&M’s last night.  I hate PMS.  But I missed a snack yesterday so the calories probably balanced out.

The pool was awesome, surprisingly uncrowded.  The lifeguard had to blow her whistle at us, though, b/c I was acting like an alligator and he was riding on my back.  Apparently that’s a no-no.  Funny how you still feel like a child when the lifeguard blows her whistle at you, even when you’re 34 and there with your son.  He had a blast telling my hubby how Mommy got in trouble w/the lifeguard.  Yesterday he told me he loved me sooooo much b/c I take him to the pool.  I’m going to be so sad when school starts and he’s not my little boy anymore :(

Enough of the pity party, I have appliances to clean.  Toodles.

    I feel you on the crowded appliances. I’m in the midst of moving. Thanks for the comment, I decided to stay off the pill for now. See how this works out for me.

    Hey! Sounds like things are percolating a lot better now for you now! Yippee! Just read about meeting your old boyfriend and all I can say is “go figure,huh”? Gee the second my hair gets a bit greasy, or sweaty and I’m caked with garden mud the whole darned planet wants to see me about something!

    We don’t have a pool here, just the frigid cold Bay of Fundy water, but I manage to get in and swim and frolic like a big kid! Love your little alligator pool story!
