Drinking in middle of afternoon = bad idea

Yesterday the bf and I were cleaning the house, which is a rare event (normally the kids do the sweeping/dusting and the rest just waits until I have the time/energy to do it)(I've learned to lower my standards if I want to balance kids/full-time work/sports/exercise/eating right blah blah blah), like scrubbing and that sort of thing. I was going to throw away this goofy "bar set" which we won at a raffle last year - it has little bottles of bar sugar and colored/flavored sugar drink mix on a big metal holder that takes up waaay to much space and we have hardly used the stuff. So anyway, I had it next to the trash, and the bf suggests that we have a little cocktail to use up some of the stuff (he hates throwing stuff out. I love throwing stuff out. I hate clutter!). Mind you, it's only like 1:00 in the afternoon, and we had plans to drive down to the city and visit friends that evening.

So we did it. And it was fun. I can't remember the last time I was that plastered, especially in the middle of the day!!! We hadn't eaten lunch either, which complicated things.

Amazingly enough, we did get a good chunk of the cleaning done. I had a pretty good headache going by the time we left for dinner, and I was starving. I was exhausted pretty early but we didn't get home until 1:30 a.m. Ugh.

So today is to finish the cleaning (they cancelled my daughter's 5 hours of round robin softball due to the weather, so I'm somewhat relieved) and do up some cooking so that I am ready for the week & going to school on Tuesday!

I hope to get to the gym today as well, but my priority is to get this house in order.

Food has been pretty good - no purchases of chocolate or other treats, and I successfully avoided the chocolate-covered cookies in the work kitchen on Friday. Go Xena!

I still miss coffee like the dickens :-(
