There is nothing on TV tonight and I'm bored out of my mind! I keep thinking of things I *could* do but never actually get up off the couch to do them. It would make for a great list of things I need to get done on a day or night I feel more productive though. So here I sit with my laptop on my lap watching some episode of 2 1/2 Men (which I normally never watch and can't stand actually). Oy vei - it's going to be a long 6 weeks!

I just got done completely dusting and vacuuming the den and it took me about over an hour. I am sweating like crazy (nice visual huh?) It's been so crazy lately I haven't had much time to clean so it really needed it and I got every crevice and corner too so it's good now for a while. But I was wondering how many calories we burn when we're cleaning. Whether it's vacuuming, dusting, scrubbing the tub/toilet/sink, mopping the kitchen floor - whatever it is. Because you work up a sweat that's got to account for something right?

Off to clean the kids bathroom now.

I have been so tense lately! I'll just be standing either talking to someone or even just at the bus stop and realize I have to make a physical effort to make my shoulders go down - they feel like they're up at my ears sometimes. And my fingers are so achy. I must sleep with my hands balled into a fist because I wake up and I have to remember to release my fingers and stretch them! And the muscles in my thighs - forget about it! I lie down at night to fall asleep and they feel so tensed up. I don't know if it's because Sean's leaving for 6 weeks to work in another state or what but something has to change!

Before the Superbowl started I was kind of going back and forth between who I wanted to win. I wanted the Patriots to keep their winning streak and win because they've had such an awesome season and deserved it. I wanted the Giants to win because I'm from New Jersey (Joisey- born and raised) and I also thought they deserved it too. My heart just wasn't really in it this year to go one way or the other - I'm not a fan of either team so I tried staying neutral. It wasn't until about halftime when I started veering towards the Giants to win. And then, at the very end, when Manning got away from the Patriots defense (tore away from them) and Tyree made that AWESOME catch - that was just beautiful.

I SO wish I was up in New York last night, or at least at a bar in New Jersey. There's nothing like NY fans (no matter what the sport).

I came home from soccer last night, got the kids bathed and in bed by 9:30, sat on the couch and ate a little something (I hadn't had dinner) and then my throat started to hurt. I've still got this nagging cough that won't go away, but I don't want this sore throat on top of it. We have a crazy weekend of soccer this weekend - 3 games each day I for each kid). I can't be sick!
