Tuesday Roll Call

Morning all. It is hot sunny Tuesday here in Arkansas, high today 99 with a heat index of 103. Busy day as always going to work, school open house at 6:00 this evening and my youngest has football practice at 6:00. The only way to do everything is I go in one direction with part of the kids and hubby goes in the other direction with Abe to football and we meeting finally @ bedtime and crash until the alarm goes off at 4:30 the next morning. I hope everyone has a great day!! Teresa

Good morning. Its just me and my cuppa (decaf), again this morning. Catching up on the boards. Gym time soon. Then, I am determined to get those old clothes out of this house today! Wish me luck! So, on Sunday, I decided I wanted to get on a real bike again. I have been spinning for a few months now. I can do it, I can keep up, my endurance is pretty good, my balance is pretty good. All safe, serene, sweating it out. My brother brings me over a bike. Its a boy bike with the middle bar. I cant even get my durn leg over the bar, my foot gets stuck, and before I can blink, I am on the ground! Laughing my fool head off. My son is horrified. MOM! mom, m o m? Ok round two, I brush myself off, manage to get my leg over the bar. One turn of the pedal, not even out of the drive, and im on the ground again! Now, I dont give up easily, but I called it a day. Monday, my brother brings me over a different bike. This time a girl bike. I manage one trip around the block. The bike is wobbling back and forth, im holding the handgrips so tight my fingers ache, and I had to go around the block because I was to afraid to turn around anywhere! Can this old dog relearn tricks? That remains to be seen, but my plan is to go to the park tonight and try again! toodles all......have a great day! Lauri

Good morning sisters! It is to be hot and sunny here today, but not quite THAT hot (86). It is a welcome sight to see the sun after two weeks of rain. It will give the floods a chance to dry up a bit before it is supposed to rain again tomorrow. We are looking forward to a perfect weekend though! I will be working all day and my mission is to find a pair of 13.5 football cleats for David. If he keeps growing, (he's 14) I will have to order his shoes from specialty stores soon! Thank you to all who were kind enough to share stories in my post about my daughter. Lauri----you keep it up girl, you will be riding again in no time. I need to get air in my bike's tires so that I can ride again too. Maybe I will try to get that done this evening. Teresa---I understand the "divide and conquer" theory with the kids. Todd and I have been doing it that way for years. I think I will have Riley (my grandbaby) over this weekend and we will have a tie dye party on Sunday. Have a lovely day all! Dawn

Good Morning!! Going to be a beautiful day here today. Its 57 degrees right now. Have all the doors and windows open. Its just wonderful. Stepped on the scale today to a small YIPPPPPPIE moment: 2 1 9 !!!!!!! YES you read that right 219lbs this morning!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO I FINALLY made it into the teens. lol Now I just have to stay there.. Have a busy day today. Going to run over and work out at The Circuit this morning once Joshua is moving. Then come home and do our walk. Also need to run to Gianans and get some seed for my Aero Gardens. Time to replant. And we cant forget the trip to Wally World for "special Mouse food". Ahhhhhhhhh yes then there is the normal "gotta clean it" house things to do. Frigs both need a good scrubbing and I WILL get the darn spots off the shower door today. May even get fish tanks cleaned. Its supposed to be nice and cool today. Will be nice to be able to leave the house open. Of course tomorrow its supposed to be 90! GRRR So we will for sure be headed over to the Homeschool KickOff early in the morning tomorrow. Almost have all the bedding washed. I want a new down comforter so maybe Santa is reading this and will bring me one. Other then that, thats about it. I promised Joshua craft day so we will be doing something with that. Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL day!! *huggles* Felicia =0) *Im finally in the TEENSSSSSSSSSSS*

Good morning ladies! Sounds like everyone has a full day planned. I'm here at work, stuck behind my desk, working on the same spreadsheet I have been staring at for the last two weeks. I'm planning a mini-escape at lunchtime to get some freshair and a fresh outlook on life as this project has me feeling a bit bogged under. After work we have a birthday party for my husbands niece. It's a pizza party (boo) so I am armed with a protein shake to enjoy before we had out for that. I'm excited to hear the little victories in life...way to go on making it to the teens Felicia! And..the bike ride story had me chuckling. I went through that with my first attempt to get on a bike back in June..I have since purchased my own bike and have been riding on those rare weekends when we find some spare time. I LOVE it!

GOOD EVENING EVERY ONE, I SAY GOOD EVENING BECAUSE IT'S 9:00pm AND I JUST GOT HOME FROM WORK. I WISH I HAD ACCESS TO THIS SITE AT WORK BUT IT'S BLOCKED. ON SECOND THOUGHT I'D PROBABLY NOT GET ANY WORK DONE IF I COULD ACCESS IT. CRAZY DAY TODAY. WALKED INTO A NURSERY FULL OF SCREAMING BABIES THEN HAD A C-SECTION, THEN TWO VAG DELIVERIES. CAN YOU SAY HEADACHE? I'M SITTING HERE TRYING TO RELAX BEFORE GOING TO BED SO I CAN GET UP AT 0500 AND START BABY WATCH ALL OVER AGAIN. BEST THING? I'LL ONLY HAVE ANOTHER THREE DAYS TO WORK AFTER TOMORROW BEFORE FLYING OUT TO SEATTLE NEXT THURSDAY TO CATCH A CRUISE SHIP TO ALASKA. CAN'T WAIT. IF SOMEONE WOULD TEACH ME HOW TO DOWN LOAD PICTURES FROM MY CAMERA I'LL POST THEM FOR YOU TO SEE. YOU MAY EVEN FINALLY GET TO SEE WHAT I LOOK LIKE. HAVE A GREAT REST OF THE NIGHT. DONNA, SFY
