My feet hurt!

I'm on day 5 of a 7 day work week. I won't get a day off until Tuesday. Actually, I get three days off in a row! Can't wait. My feet H U R T. Just got my paycheck today...minus the health care, and I'm pretty much broke again. But that's ok. We have a roof over our heads, food in the fridge and....and....well, you get the picture.

Aunt Donnette has asked me to post more about Thomas. He's her favorite nephew. Ok, he's her ONLY nephew, hehe.

Thomas had trouble bringing home his homework and spelling list this week and I was so fed up with the lame excuses day after day, I grounded him from TV today.

He called me at work this afternoon, as expected, asking if he could watch TV. He said he'd do spelling homework for next Mon. and Tues. today! (I love it when punishment works). Anyway, I told him I'd discuss it with him when I got home. He didn't like that answer. When I got home I found next weeks homework completed, heh.

Tonight we are at Greg's house hanging out. We haven't seen him in a while due to my busy work schedule. Greg is going on a week long trip to Florida on Monday so he's still at work with his buddies loading up motorcycles into a trailer. They pull them down and ride them around once they get there. That's a good thing, I wouldn't want him on the road that long on the back of a motorcycle.

Thomas is still in band and having a good time with that. I am glad he's not bored with it. He's going to spend the night with his best friend, Nicky, next Saturday night after Nicky's birthday party.

He got over his bronchitis and now we're working on watching what we eat. I try to buy alot of fruit and carrot sticks to munch on. I also buy snacks that are 100 calories in each pouch. Thing is Thomas likes to sneak snacks and eat them when no one is looking.

Just the other night I purchased some poptarts for his brother and asked Thomas to stay out of them. No sooner had Shawn and I turned our backs, Thomas had snuck a pack into the bathroom and ate them. Of course I had to punish him. Must not have been too bad because I don't even remember what it was!

I now have a small fridge in my room with sodas in it and have to hide the snacks in the closet. We'll see how long that lasts!
