Weekend shenanigans

I am feeling this, no doubt. Last week was super long for me. Normally I work a half day or not at all for that matter on Fridays. Then my weekend starts with Saturday and Sunday off work. However this week I had to work Friday as well as Saturday. I'm not going to complain because I love the extra money and I got off at 12pm both days.

Saturday when I got off work I rushed home to take a nap. To those of you who have been around for awhile that comes as no surprise. However we were taking a road trip to Kyle's hometown and were due to be there by 5pm to attend a friends thanksgiving dinner party so I wanted to be well rested from my long week...and plus let's be real I love to sleep!

We had a good time at the party and stayed the night at my soon to be inlaws. Sunday morning we ate breakfast with them and hung around the house watching a couple of movies. Later we headed over to Nanny's, Kyle's grandparents, house and ate lunch with them and hung out.

Afterwards we went back to Kyle's parents to pick up our dogs and head home. We watched the first Twilight movie and also Accepted...which is one of my favorites for some unknown reason.

I guess you could say we had an eventful weekend but I'm somehow happy to starting the week. Maybe it's because thanksgiving is in a couple days, who knows. Last week was a long work week and this one is going to be super short! I get off at three pm Wednesday and don't return till the following Monday. I'll be happy to have a break though!

wasted day

My pure lack of motivation is killing me today! I only had to go in and pull the meat from 5am-7am this morning and I'm off work for the rest of the day. My intentions were to get wild with it and start-finish my laundry, mail off the wedding photographer and dj contracts/retainers, clean the kitchen and living room, and whip up a bad ass dinner.

My accomplishments? None of the above. Not even the dinner part. Instead I came home and took a nap where I ignored my alarm clock and remained in a coma. Seriously our new sleep number bed is magical but when it comes to being productive count it out. I never seem to want to get out of bed anymore! Not that I really had a burning passion to before but that's another story in itself. The contracts are still on the kitchen table, the clothes are still dirty, and my kitchen is still scattered...as for dinner? I totally talked Kyle into catching some sushi with me for dinner. Then we will be returning home to watch Sons of Anarchy. A 90-minute long special episode. Okay and for those who watch it please pray Juicy doesn't get killed off!! He's kinda yummy to look at in that "trashy-bad boy-biker guy" kind of way. ;)

Organizing my life

Ive always been pretty good at organizing. Anytime any of the employees from my dad's store come to mine the same comment is made 90% of the time, "wow, it's so organized over here". Damn right! It makes my work day much easier.

I moved into my house in mid April and here it is mid August and for me to tell you that its organized is a complete lie. I've organized several small places including part of my closet, you better believe all of my work shirts are organized by color along with the rest of my clothing. But as far as the mail goes I've made an attempt to have it organized but it clearly is not a method that is working for us. The man cave is a complete disaster when it comes to organized along with the linen closet that I also use to store cleaning supplies.

My house is not the only thing that I cannot seem to organize properly. My life is. Every year I say I'm going to do this, this, and this and a little more of this with a whole lot of this during the summer. Negative, here it is with summer closing in and I've managed to do hardly anything I've wanted. I need a ten day week and even then I dont know if I would be able to manage the time properly and organize my days as said. By now I figured I would've already had a housewarming party. Negative again. Between mine and Kyle's schedules I can hardly fit in a shower on my weekends. I need to find some sort of balance and I just can't seem to figure it all out.

Feel free to leave tips or comments regarding how you manage time on a week to week basis. Fitting in your home maintenance, family time, work, and extracurricular activities. Right now, I'm clearly at a loss.
