I volunteered to host Fun Monday and here is the topic I chose.
Your Day: please describe to us your typical weekday, from when you wake up until when you go to bed, what do you do to get you up and going, how do you wind down in the evening and what happens in your life in between those times. For some of us, the drama is in the mornings and evenings and for others, it is during the day. 

My weekdays are typically the same.  My alarm clock is set up for 5am, that does not mean I wake up at that time, but I try to.  I then make a quick visit to facebook and start on my assignments or papers.  I think Facebook gets me going, I check on how my siblings are doing and then head to my assignments.  We have assignments due every week.  Twice a week I go to the gym for a 2 mile run.  I start getting ready for work at about 6.30 am, if one of the kids decides to wake up that early, I take them with me to drop them off at around 7.30 am. I work as an administrative assistant for two managers, so it’s never really the same everyday, basically, I just make sure they are well updated and anything they need done, is done.  Leave work at 4.30pm, pick up one child and then my day and ALL the drama really begins.   The most stressful time is between when I get home from work and when we eat dinner.  I cook dinner, give the kids a bath, we all eat dinner, clean up and sit to watch TV, read a few books and start convincing the kids that they need to go to bed, put out their clothes for tomorrow and anything the teachers asked for.  At around 10pm, things start slowing down, I make my cup of cadbury cocoa and then call it a night.  If it’s a Sunday like today, I sleep way later if I have not finished an assignment.  Wake up the next day and start it all over again…

Thanks for playing,  Here are the brave ones, please visit them and see how their typical day is:

I am hosting Fun Monday on 9th November and thought I would continue in the spirit of getting to know one another  
This topic might have been done before, but things change, people move so I am sure things have probably changed since you last did it.

Your Day: please describe to us your typical weekday, from when you wake up until when you go to bed, what do you do to get you up and going, how do you wind down in the evening and what happens in your life in between those times. For some of us, the drama is in the mornings and evenings and for others, it is during the day. Thanks for playing, please leave your name and URL in the comments and I will add them on Sunday.

 Today’s Fun Monday is hosted by the fashionably sensitive …but too coo l to care Mariposa.  Here is her assignment.

(1) Share something which you wish your readers would know about you. It could be something you feel you might need to clarify/ share, etc. 

 

People ask me some questions in a weird way that at times make me wonder so here is my chance to clarify.  I graduated college in 1994 with a Bachelors in Business Administration and a minor in Music.  I got married is 2000, in 2002, we won a Green Card through the DV program and moved here.  I am currently doing my Master’s in Health Promotion through this university and I am loving it.

(2) Ask three questions to your readers, and I mean all readers, whether participants of Fun Monday or not. The questions should be generic so that all your readers can answer them and that it will help you get to know your readers more. 
My questions are easy and cheesy
What is your favorite hot or cold cereal or both?
Raisin Bran cereal and plain oatmeal.
What is your favorite color and why?
My favorite color is red because it is a bold color.
Which country would you like to visit if you had the opportunity?
Australia, I have always dreamed of going to Australia and India comes a close second.

Head over to Mariposa’s Tales and get to know your fun monday buddies.
 

It’s about time I made a budget.  I have operated for 9 years without a budget and that is not good.  I bet I am throwing away some monies.  Good thing is that, apart from my baby’s hospital bill, the only debt we have ever had is our mortgage so I think we are doing okay, but I would like to do better.  I do carry shopping lists to the grocery store and stick to it most of the time, but that’s about it.  I want to sit down and write a budget for the month of November.  I guess it will help if I start with that elusive menu.

I am too excited, I won a Cheerio’s gift pack that includes Cheerios, books for my kids and a gift card.  I am too excited, I cannot wait to read the books to my Rehema and Henry.  Thanks Alli.

Fun Monday today is hosted by Writer Cramps.  Here is her assignment.

As a lot of Americans are thinking about what to wear at Halloween, but not the rest of the world, I thought it would be nice to see what you are wearing on sundays or days you are not working when you get out of your bed. I not necessarily mean your pyjama, but what you wear before you get dressed. A bathrobe perhaps, or a jogging suit etc. The question therefore is : What are you wearing when you get out of your bed on a Sunday morning. Of course I want to see a picture of what you wear, with you inside or not.

We usually go to the second service, so I wake up at 9am, shower, shower the kids, have breakfast and off we go.  One of my boss’ went to Washington and brought me a T-Shirt.  She brought it, she realized it was too big and gave it to me anyway and said, you can make it a sleep shirt.  So I wear it when I am giving the kids a bath.  I got me a model to put it on for me.

Head over to Writer Cramps and see what people adorn in the morning, have a Fun Monday.

The smart choices label program has been suspended over FDA concern.  Just the other day, I picked up Froot Loops and it had the Smart Choices label and I wondered how Froot Loops could be good for you when it had so much sugar.  Well, I am glad that they have suspended it because I believe it was kinda of misleading.  Some foods in the program were smart choices but others were questionable.
