Day 1009 of my Captivity – Weekly Update

I've been thinking a lot lately about being in Tucson.  With that thought on my mind I saw this picture of a cat's journal.

It is with that in mind that I think "Day 1009 of my captivity, I don't know if it's worse to have the freedom to leave the desert prison as often as I do, or if I'd be better in the actual chains this place puts on me."

It's been a pretty good week, I've gotten most of the things done I wanted to do, and the rest are things I didn't really want to do.  The children were great this last week.  I did a crock pot meal each night of the week I had them, and they even ate most of the time without complaining… even ate leftovers on leftover night… this could be a new wonderful thing.  Perhaps the next big goal can align with this one, I could do something radically different.  I could look for coupons for the stuff I'm going to get. 

My favorite blog post this last week was all about the monkey bars.  I learned a LOT in putting them together, in my minds eye, I'm already planning on how to improve on this design.  But in the meantime I'm able to do a TON of pullups, and they're getting practice doing a couple, and hanging by their arms.  It's like I added a playground to the living room.  Seeing how much fun this has been for them, I can see that adding an actual playground to the living room wouldn't be a terrible idea.  Active kids have a better chance for happiness.

How was your week?
