Good Monday Morning!

Hi gang So how was your weekend and what have you got coming up for this week? For me Saturday was digging in the garden planting bulbs with my daughter and cleaning up the house, then Sunday she went on a trip with the Brownies to a wildlife sanctuary while Hubbie and I ministered at a church, then had a relaxing afternoon til she got home. It was great to take my mind off all the decisions and worry that I've got going on at the moment. Today I'm taking her for an Occupational Therapy assessment and then trying to find a child counsellor/therapist for her to find out what is going on inside her worried little mind But today we are celebrating her adoption anniversary - 6 years ago today she officially became our little girl (even though we'd had her already for 17 months it was great for it to be official) So we (well she did) had cake for breakfast And we are going to see a ballet on Saturday, party tea and her friend for a sleep over on Saturday. Plus I tried on a new shirt I bought about 2 weeks ago that was too tight then, and today it fit!!! The scales haven't moved, but obviously my body has So no matter how tough things seem, when I put things into perspective, life is good.

Sounds like a great weekend! I went back to work, very hard on the new body....Lots of swelling... other than that I didn't do anything special. Today is another long drive for a doctors follow-up appointment. 3 1/2 hrs each way..... Its wonderful to fit into the (No longer tight shirt)... LOL My happy moment was putting on a pair of low rise jeans yesterday that did not fit before and do now...LOL and trying on a very small size 6 outfit and it fitting.....

Hi Jean wow, how exciting to fit into those fab clothes! Have you weighed yourself since surgery yet? Have you lost much?

Yeah!!!!!! For both jean & ruth's great milesones . I hope you both have many more to come !

I had an absolutely crazy weekend. Friday I ran around all day getting stuff done. Saturday was grandma day so I was there til late Saturday night.. Than the fun began. Sunday my friend tricked me into building a 25 foot 6 foot high fence for her.. yikes and I had already planned on building a wall 13 feet by 8 feet long in my boys room to separate them before they kill each other. So after getting all the materials for both jobs, we attacked the fence first and got it done in 2 hours.. i was yelling come on come on.. lets get this done...lol. Than we headed to my house... We finished building the wall at about 8:00pm. I had been up since 6:00 am so I was pretty tired. Monday was a holiday so I spent the whole day painting, mudding and taping and than decorating both boys rooms. One in Nascar and the other in Spiderman.. What a day... I am sore from head to toe and tired as all get out. I need a break but it wont be happening at work as our 6 month budget meeting is on Wednesday and I have to prep for that tomorrow as the three regional centers I work for come to see what we are doing to earn their money. Not to mention we have more than doubled our calls over the past six months so we are running around like fools working here lately. So that was my weekend and what my week is gonna look like.. some one save me.. Now I am gonna go to bed.. i need it.. LOL... See you all later.. Carla
