a busy time

Wow!  I'm actually avoiding procrastinating and getting things done because well, I'm avoiding the living room where my very male family is watching the twilight zone.  They're laughing hysterically and I'm thinking of the nightmares I'm going to have!   
It's been a busy few weeks.  We had a wonderful time in Missouri with the kids and grandkids.  Boy do I wish we could do there more often.   I took a few minutes to make a little video and have fun with the photos.  After working a bunch of days in a row at my 2 jobs the boys and I took off for Washington DC and Gettysburg.   About 650 pictures later we're home again and back at the jobs!  It was a mixture of ups and downs while we were gone.  Some of the monuments were honestly a let down and others were beautiful surprises.  I probably would have enjoyed myself a bit more about 20 years ago when I was in better shape.  One more reason to work on exercising and loosing weight.  I thought with the exercising I had been doing and with the walking at work I would be fine but......   it's on my to do list to map out how many miles we really did walk each day!   Since I had yesterday and today off I decided to try the major cooking/freezing meals for 2 weeks again.  It went better than last time.   I only cut up 3 chicken breasts instead of the 12 I did last time!   But I managed to get about 6 meals (double batches) done for the upcoming weeks.  We'll see how it lasts and if the kids like the meals!  Overall a very productive day!
