Weekend? What weekend?

And it’s Monday again.  Where did the weekend go?  Oh right, on Saturday I had to drive up to deliver orders then stopped at my Mom’s and argued with Dread Pirate over stopping at my Mom’s (he felt that I should have sensed that he didn’t go out for the day and gone home instead of having a drink with Mom), then we made up over dinner (which I have no idea what we had).  Sunday I had a team meeting for Slumber at 3 and had to drop off a gift at my cousins, then went out with some of the other Slumber girls after, stopped at Mom’s on the way home with milk, hung out for a bit, and got home at 10.  And, and, and, and….I had forgotten about the meeting on Sunday all week, or blocked it out of my head, so I had planning on Sunday being a nice couch potato day.  *sigh*  Oh well, Monday is here despite my protests.

Tropical Storm had a doctor’s appt today to get shots – her stupid effin school system is now REQUIRING that kids under the age of 6 to get the flu vaccine.  Show me where that is constiutional!  That’s flippin crazy!  You can’t vaccinate against the flu, because there are so many different strands!  You can vaccinate against the projected flu, but that leaves you very vulnerable if a similar strand is in your area, and that just doesn’t seem safe/healthy…argh!  I hate flu vaccinations.  I get the other ones…MMR, tetnus, etc.  Even chicken pox.  Oh and let me just rant a minute about the fact that polio is back…why would that be?  Oh right!  Because we now vaccinate agains the flu but not polio!  WTF?!  *breaths deeply* Kerriatune isn’t nearly as worked up about this as I am, she was going to get Trop vaccincated anyway.  I told her I’d refuse to send in the paperwork if I was her.  She is always rather amused at my rants on that kind of thing.

Weigh In is tomorrow and I’m REALLY hoping to be in "Onederland" as we call it – back under 200lbs.  198 is my 5% goal, that’s be great to hit this week!  If not this week then I’m going to blow it out of the water next week!  I just started doing a hula hooping challenge, lol 20 minutes of hula hooping every day.  I’m going to do it on the Wii Fit in the morning – I don’t own a hula hoop…and I’m really bad at it anyway!  I used to hula hoop and jumprope and do cartwheels and fly across the monkey bars when I was a kid – part of my goal is to get that kind of strength back so I can do things like that when I have kids (next year, God willing.)

LB texted me back today, we’re going to meet for dinner on Wednesday night.  I’m having such an anxiety attack over this – we haven’t spoken civally in nearly 2 years.  At least we’re doing dinner – I think keeping a table between us is probably a good idea.

Okay time to hula hoop. 🙂
