How Long Does It Take You To Get To Bed?

Even though I got to bed later than I wanted and New Moon sucked me in again last night, I woke feeling pretty well rested. My game plan for last night was turn TV off at 10, make lunches, then go to bed. This is what ended up happening;

*Turn TV off at 10, go make lunches turned into
*loading/starting dishwasher, hand washing stragglers that didn?t fit turned into
*gathering the 3 cats (no easy feat) and putting them into the laundry room AKA their bedroom for the night turned into
*filling the food/water bowls, scooping cat litter turned into
*Finding laundry in the dryer turned into
*folding laundry and bringing upstairs turned into
*putting laundry away and taking tags off of new jeans that we bought DS turned into
*Setting out his clothes for today
and FINALLY getting to the washroom to prepare my bod for some sleep?.after reading New Moon, of course. Now it?s 11:15pm and I?m wondering how the heck that happened!

Is anybody else guilty of doing this at ?bedtime?? It?s apparent that I have to start preparations at 9 to actually get to bed by 10ish. LOL!

Here?s breakfast, which I remembered to photograph today!

-1 cup water
-1/3 cup sunrise blend with quinoa
-cinnamon
-pumpkin puree
-craisins
-almond butter (!!)
-cinnamon sugar

I had some odds and ends to clear up at work so the morning passed quite nicely. I broke at noon for my very last Mountain Mix Clif Mojo bar;

I?ll never get sick of this bar and have plans to stock up in a few weeks when I?m in the US.

I was pretty stoked when I heard that yoga had been cancelled today and that the gym would be available! I ended up enjoying a nice run while watching divine design!

I warmed up lunch on the late side again today. 2:30 to be exact. Dinner was so tasty last night that I had it again! Only this time you get it all mixed up!

Red kidney beans, jade grain blend and PC Roma tomato sauce. I forgot to mention yesterday that the reason I bought this sauce in the first place was that it was marked down to 50% off. The one grocery store near me is renovating and I think they?re trying to clear some product out. It?s not something I would normally buy as it?s quite pricy for the size of the jar.

I snacked on some grapes; too while plugging away at some monotonous paperwork later in the afternoon;

I had just enough time after picking the kids up to go home and change before I had to head out again to take DD to skating. I shared some of my TJ?s chocolate bar with the newest member of our family;

While DD was on the ice I hopped over to Zehrs to pick up a few items that I can?t find at my usual haunt. When I saw that Lara Bars were on sale 3/$5 AND that they had the new PB&J flavour, i had to pick some up! The other 2 were coconut cream pie and pecan;

I haven?t bought any bars in a while cuz I had an overload of Clif bars to eat, but I?m down to 2 of those so this purchase was justified! :D I?m holding out another 2 weeks to see if I can score any of the seasonal flavours while in the States.

I had snagged us each a corned beef sandwich from a meeting at work for dinner which got rounded out by some cut up melon that I got at the store.

This was eaten at the rink once skating was over because we were hanging around to watch friend?s of ours son play a game. I had these little guys for dessert!

So now it?s almost 10 and we just got the kids settled into bed. Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day! The kids will be dressing up in their costumes for school, there?s a big potluck lunch at work and a pumpkin carving contest AND I?ll be dressing up, too! Please come back to visit tomorrow to read about all the fun. I?ll likely be posting a bit later because DS has a game and them we?ll be carving our pumpkins.

In blogger contest news, head on over and pay Cassie a visit at A Pinch of This and a Pinch of That for a really fantastic Nature Valley give away. This is one prize that you do not want to miss!!!

Bye for now!!
