Good TGIF Morning Cali

OMG Happy TGIF to all of you Cali Peeps!!!

Long first week back to work, but that just means fo us teachers that we only have less or just around 50 actual instructional days left and then we are FREE to be bums for the summer!!!! I am super excited considering my year has proven to be not such a good one. It is like last year I struggled to get supplies and spend copious amounts of my own money. Then this year principal cut loose with the money that Arnie gave for fine arts....and all I have gotten is harrassment. Go figure eh?

I have not said much about Ava lately and her lastest whoas with her neck and head issues, but her parents took her to Loma Linda on Monday. The doctors decided that although she is making progress, they do not feel at this time that it is good enough and they are going to put Ava in a helmut. They are waiting for approval from their insurance. They have to custom make it for her. I can just see Ava the Helmuthead!!! OMG she is so tempermental as it is sometimes that this will set her over the edge I am afraid. The good news is that her doctor feels that it should only be about 4 months or so that she will have to wear it. Bad news is that it cost$3,000 for it! Keep your fingers crossed that the insurance is not buttafuco's about approving it!

Onwards and upwards eh?

I started to try and read the boards as much as I could...eyes are bothering me this morning. I just read about JenDenni and her news of the CT scan. I am so happy for her that things are in the state they are!

BTW Lori C needs continued prayers for her dad and her poor dog Amber! Amber was attacked this week by a pitbull and was severely injured. Although Amber will recover, she had to be hospitalizd, medicated and I am sure if she could talk so friggin traumatized. So get on with your prayers peeps!

Jean are you out riding your new bike? When I was young, I use to ride a bike everywhere. I should get another one...nah...that is what motorcycles are for!

LULU how you doing gf?

Steve...did you add up the pounds lost?

Jillie thanks for grabbing Thursdays,but did you have to mention Christmas already??? LOL

Diane....seems like yesterday you had the surgery and now you are talking about going back to work. You are one tough cookie. Did you and Lisa have fun yesterday? I am jealous...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I wanna play!!!!

Vicki...you have gottsa start typing bigger for this old ladies eyes.....I am dying trying to read what you wrote!!!

Well anywho...what do you all have planned for the weekend?

I am going over to a boarder town this weekend with my kids for drugs. My oldest son's heart meds are significantly cheaper so worth the drive and then they want to go to Joshua on Sunday...we will see.....mom needs a day off. I migh****ch Hunter tonight...hope so....you all know me....love them grandbabies!!!

 

Have a great day all and like I always say, just because I do not mention you specifically, one I have severe dust bunnies in brain and have a hard time reading, but know that you are very much cared for!

 

PEACE OUT!!!!  

Good Morning Calif and Top of Morning Janine....

Today is my last day to work for the  next 10 days. YAY!!!

As it stands right now, Kevin and I might go to Vegas for a few days, and golf. LOL After looking at the golf courses in Vegas, this could be lots of fun. Did you know that there is like 50 courses is Vegas? I sure didn't. Never seen one all the times I have been there. Ofcourse most of the time, I spent that time in doors, But the one time Step and I went, her stomping ground, we drove all over and I don't remember seeing one. Of course, back then, I didn't golf. LOL

Tomorrow is the 5k, so my friend Cindy is going to come and spend the night, so we can take off early and get her signed up, then hook up with everyone. I can't wait, its going to be so much fun. Then tomorrow night, is dinner for Kevins birthday. I really can't for that, its going to be so much fun.

Thats it, nother else at this time planned. I am hoping that we can take a motorcycle ride,and I am hoping that we can ride to Palm Springs and spend the day. Now that should be fun.

OK time to jump in the shower and get this day rolling.

LOVE TO ALL

Lu

Lu did you know that there are over 100 golf courses out here? Give me a shout if you make it out here to PS and have a great time off! BTW tell Kev happy birthday too!  

Good morning Janine and Cali friends! Thanks again for all of the support!  I guess you guys are just going to be stuck with me!  hehehehe So, So glad it is Friday!  This has been the longest week!  God, why did I not become a teacher????   I would love to play all summer!!!  Both of my in-laws are teachers and they just love it!  They travel all summer and have so much fun.  They are in their 70's and just love the young kids.  My mother in-law is Special Ed.  She helps me a lot with Tommy who is in a Special Day class.  If it wasn't for her who knows...he'd be drowning in normal class..but he is doing so well now, it's awesome!   Well, this weekend is cleaning house......  Oh --- and they are having a seminar type thing at the Holiday Inn hotel this weekend for hypnosis for weight loss, stress management and other things.  My sister wants me to go with her.  She says, you are always into trying new things!  lol that's my fun side!  So, what the heck....I'm gonna go! Well gotta get my butt to work! Make it a great day!  Love, Jeni

Hi kids, I've got cabin fever bad....my honey and I are taking a little trip...can't tell ya where, I think I'll have some fun with my SP due to a new location...  lol  I hope you all have a terrific weekend!  Kim

Did you say it is   ??????????        WooooooooooooooHooooooooooooo!              and that's a GOOD thing! Like some of you this was another LONG and challanging week for me at work and I am too ready for the weekend. Not that we have anything much planned outside of the usual chores and errands but that's fine with me. Was hoping for a nice sunny, warm weekend here but the weather report this morning is calling for cool and cloudy.  Oh, and the total reported weekly weight lost Wednesday was 39 pounds. Off to get another cup of coffee and pay some bills. Wishing you and all the Cali Crew an awesome Friday Janine!      

Good Morning Janine and Cali, TGIF to all of you.  This weekend will be spent like every other.  Unpacking boxes, getting the house together, and running a few errands while my mom is here and I have help with Jordyn. Everyone enjoy the weekend. Monica

Hi Cali Crew,

TGIF is right!!! WOO-HOO!!!



This week with work hasn't been as hectic as the past 8+ months straight... two VERY hectic days... then some days filled with a variety of work... all amazingly manageable though.



I've been workingout like all h@ll at the gym... last night elliptical, treadmill and arm weights... noticed I didn't have to move the peg after some dude used the tricept machine...



This moring as I waited for my Mac to boot... I had my arms crossed... THIS GIRL'S GOT GUNS!!! OMG!!! See what 55 lb. weights can do? Anyhow, I feel good and strong... like bull. Kidding...



I hit below lowest goal weight yesterday... so I'm gonna go out with friends tonight for some shrimp fajitas sans tortilla... yet will partake in the guac!!! Tomorrow is the Joss Stone concert... can't wait!!! Maybe, just maybe I'll wear my new white 'worn' jeans... can't wait!!! I've been looking forward to seeing her for a few months now... and if I'm in top form I'll hit the slots while there...



That's about it... also heard from my brother... he's coming for a visit in June... YIPPEE!!! He lives in Tashket, Uzbekistan with his new wife Guyla. So, it'll be nice to meet her too. I may be healing from my body lift, but what the h@ll!



Have a great weekend all... make it memorable!!!



Kim

Hey lady...how's this?? So, the BIG news is...Mike will be HOME tomorrow!! yee haw!  As of right now, he is coming in kinda late tomorrow night, but he is going to try to get on an earlier flight.  I dont care if I have to pay 1000 dollars to make that happen, but by GOD- it will happen!  I am really not that happy with what I have written yet so far on my paper.  I have lots of facts and other people's opinions on it, but it is just a matter of getting my own written down.  I am writing about Raphael's Madonna on the Meadow.  After all that I have gotten, I am still at only about 2 1/2 pages.  ugh.  Thankfully, only the rough draft is due tonight and I already emailed the instructor asking for a little bit of leeway with Mike coming home and all. He seems to be a prettty understanding guy, so we shall see.  I figured that if I could at least send to him what I have so far, it is better then nothing, right? Okay, lots going on this morning- have to meet with my daughter's school counselor, dogs to the vet, work on this dang paper, call the kennel to get the dogs in this weekend....and probably about fifty million other things that I will come up with! Have a great day!!!

Vicki I'm so happy for you! Mikes coming home!!  I know you miss him so and seems like just a few hours he will be in your arms ,,, I know you have alot to do today but take each chore at a time things will fall into place,,, Love ya girl! and still praying for him and all the troops with lots of love and support.
