Manic Mondays are when I let you know what plans I have for the week. Some weeks I may be very busy where other weeks there may not be any plans. I have also decided to do a quick recap of what we actually did versus what I thought we were going to do. Halloween week was a busy one for us. Some days I didn’t even crack open my laptop let alone sit down to write a post. I am going to do my best now that things have settled down a little to get back into the groove of it.
Starting 11/11/2019
This Week-I am taking the week off from working out. I am going to try to let the back of my knee heal so it doesn’t hurt when and after I work out. In the past 6 months of working out I have only taken 1 week off from working out. When I did that my other knee healed.
Monday-I am working out in the morning because I wanted to finish The Open, which is a 5-part workout that is done to qualify for the Crossfit games. I, of course, am in no way trying to qualify I just wanted to see if I could do the workouts. I did have to scale all the workouts so I could complete them, but I did. I am watching my niece during the day. It is predicted that we will get a ton of snow starting sometime during the day.
Tuesday-I am not working out so I get to sleep in till 7:30am! After school there is a school fundraiser at Ohio Skate. I know the kids will want to go, but I don’t because I don’t think that is going to help my knee get better.
Wednesday-No plans for the day, the kids have school and then just hanging out at home.
Thursday-Another day of school and no plans. I am cleaning the gym in the afternoon.
Friday-Wait……we have crossing guard duty in the morning, school for the kids, and another day of no other plans.
Saturday-There is storytime at the library in the morning with Mary Poppins. I think P would really like it so I am going to try to take her. I don’t plan on telling her till that morning just in case something comes up.
Sunday-We have no plans for the day. I am planning on watching the last Nascar race of the season and see who the winner is. It’s like the World Series or Super Bowl of Nascar. S will probably watch some of it with me, or just ask for me to show him the accidents.
Last Week Recap
Monday the kids had school. After school they went to their grandma’s so I could go do a painting class. This is the first of two this week. We (my neighbor and I) were excited to go because we had not done a painting in over 6 months and it is just a fun time to hang out together.
Tuesday I watched my niece during the day. While my niece was taking a nap, I ran out to Target because some of the Target’s Halloween clearance went 90% off. Ours did not so I headed back home. The kids didn’t have school because of voting. We hung out at home the rest of the day.
Wednesday I worked out in the morning and then had planned on going to Target and waiting in the parking lot until they opened at 8am. I checked brickseek.com and it showed that only 2 of the 4 Targets in my area went 90%. So I went to both Targets and then the Wal-Mart at Spring Meadows to check out what they had for clearance. I picked up some Halloween books at 75% off. I needed to get a few to finish some Christmas gifts and didn’t want to take a chance that there wouldn’t be any left when it went 90%. I got a ton of costumes for P and even the new Frozen 2 costumes (which she is getting for Christmas). When I got home I put P on the bus and then organized all the clearance, took pictures, and put it away. I did another painting class in the evening. We haven’t done any in over 6 months but have done 2 in 3 days.
Thursday I hung out at home in the morning and after P got on the bus I went and cleaned the gym. I ran to Meijer afterward to check and see if there Halloween clearance went 90%. It did go 90% but there wasn’t much left that I wanted.
Friday I took S to crossing guard duty in the morning. Afterward P and I hung out at home until it was time to get her ready for school. I just hung out at home in the afternoon. It felt so weird for it to only be me home. B was at work and the kids were in school. I could totally work hard and get a ton done or take the time to myself and chill. I opted to take the time and chill.
Saturday I got up and went to the gym. I didn’t work out but helped out with counting for those who did work out. (I am doing the workout on Monday.) When I got home we went over and gave Little L her birthday presents. The kids played for a while until it was time to go home and eat dinner. In the afternoon we went to Little L’s birthday party.
Sunday we did absolutely nothing. It was a day of just hanging out at home.

Last Week
Monday-The kids have school. I am going to a painting class almost as soon as they get off the bus. For some reason the class is starting earlier than normal but I like it because that means we get done earlier.
Tuesday-Today is voting day. We are going to see if the Perrysburg school levy passes or not. The kids don’t have school because of voting. They close the schools because they are used as voting locations. We have Little A all day, which the kids are excited about. S usually only gets to see her for about an hour before he leaves for school but he gets the whole day this time.
Wednesday-The kids are going back to school! I am doing another painting class. This is a last-minute addition but there are so few classes on the schedule that we are taking advantage of the addition.
Thursday-The kids have school. After P gets on the bus I am going to clean the gym.
Friday-The kids have school. We don’t have any plans for the afternoon.
Saturday-I am going to the gym to help out in the morning.
Sunday-No plans for today, just hanging out at home.
