Good morning!

I've got the day off today. I started by sleeping till 7:30 then took a long, hot bath. Have to check out what is going on in the world here and no one has been here yet today. I have to go out now and feed the horses and clean the stalls. Then I'm going to my firends to help with the alpaca shearing today. Haven't done that before but it sounds like fun. When I get home I'm going to work on a landscape project. We bought 200 edgers last weekend and I need to start putting them in around the house. It won't be easy because my ground is clay and hard as a rock already. Oh well good exercise. Hope you all don't work to hard today. Bye

Morning Jan not much going on here had to come to work early because we are down to one car . The transmision went out on my van and he needed the car today instead of me driving. But its cool one more day till the weekend. This first week back to work has been killing me . Even tho its not a hard job just getting back in the swing of things. The scales havent moved all week I thinks its my body catching up . I know it will move soon. You make me tired jan with all you have to do today . I will be glad when I have days like that . Have a blessed day all. Vicki

Hi all! How are you doing? I hope well. I took off yesterday. I needed a 'mental health' day. Me and my husband spent the day together, and we did some shopping, so that was fun. I am feeling much better today, and back at work. Which is good, too. I have plenty to do. Last night was my son's first riding lesson. He had some problems getting up there, but once he did, he did really well! He said he had a good time. Tonight's my lesson. I'm still working on trotting and posting. Next Tuesday is my lasik! Woohoo! Linda Vicory

Good Morning Everyone, Just recovering from the long car ride back and forth to Michigan this past weekend for my dad's memorial service. 2 months since he's passing - but we finally had it. Seen a set of cousins I haven't seen for over 20 years. So happy they were there. I took a huge picture collage of pictures of my dad from when my mom and him dated in high school (age 15/16) up till the family reunion just this past summer. Everyone enjoyed it. But gosh that car ride was awful for me. Even stopping to walk - it was still taxing. Tuesday night recieved a phone call from my grandfather that my great Uncle had passed away that evening. Won't be traveling for his furneral. Toledeo OH is just a bit to much for me to do right now. Especially since Matt's family is counting on me traveling with them to Georgia next week for a family get together there. I'm some what dreading that car ride but plan on R E A L L Y taking it easy. Today marks me officially as half way through my pregnancy. Quinntin is extremly active - and I enjoy it. Each day brings me more anxious for his arrival. Tomorrow is my bday and so Matt is taking me on a shopping trip to Barnes & Noble and dinner and Red Lobster. We've talked about meeting up with everyone on Saturday and looks like we are gonna try although we have a graduation open house earlier. So I hope we get to make it. I'd really like to see everyone. Today I'm just going to continue laying around recovering from the car ride and getting ready for the next one next Wednesday. Hugs Everyone Jodi

Good morning everyone! Ummm...10:53...yep, still morning! I have been so dragging my butt tired lately! I upped my B12's and was thinking about calling my doc to see if I could get a script for the injectables. But....I had my physical here at work this past Monday. They run bloodwork as a 'see how you're doing' check. Because I listed Synthroid on my meds, they ran a TSH as well. That sucker has been stable for my endocrinologist for the past 12-18 months. In fact, the last time it was checked was just March 25th. So..I just say 'sure, why not' when the nurse suggested it. Well guess what??? The 'normal' is 0.4-5.5. The 'normal' desired amount for someone on synthroid is less than 2.0. Mine? 6.99!! I asked the EHS to fax the results to my endo...who will probably up my dosage. And of course, here I go with the every 2-3 month checks again! At least that explains why I have been so tired! Oh...foot was NOT fractured! There is some arthritis in the ball joint of the foot, scar tisue, small pockets of inflamation, and bruising. So...back to physical therapy! I'm to start that next Monday...3 time a week for 3 weeks. We won't EVEN go into what the GYN had to say!!! You all have a good day. I'm thinking about burning a few hours of vacation, go home, and go to bed! Now that I know WHY I'm so tired, I'm willing to give in to it some. Sherri

Hi Everyone, Just catching up with the rest of you"morning "people. It seems to take me an hr. just to open my . I am still recouperating from working over Mothers Day-41 1/2 hrs. in 3 days is getting to be too much for me I think. I could do it when I had my own shop- cause I HAD to- but now, I'm older(darn, I hate to admit that!!) I am feeling the results, good thing the "official" day is only once a year- although Mothers Day is everyday- right Ladies?!!! I've been planting flowers and working in my yard for the past week, but nothing as adventurous as you Jan. We finished our pond with a waterfall this month; I love to sit and listen to it, and see all of the flowers in bloom. Hubby has worked so hard to get the paver deck in and now we are going to landscape around the big maple tree it is near.He keeps expanding it, so it may become a HUGE project before he's finished. I am getting ready for grandson's graduation next Sat. Yikes, it seems like only yeaturday we saw him going to kindergarten. He went to see about a job at Grander Mountian , and it looks like he got it.( I just really had hoped he'd go to collage, but his Dad talked him out of it- He didn't want to have to help out,GRRR and tried to get him to go into the Air Force.Thank goodness Nick didn't-with things as they are now. One grandson gone to Iraq for 4 yrs. is enough.) We are having a joint celebration with his cousin, so it should be a fun day for them. Got out all of his photos and made a memory board , as well as gave his Aunt photos to make a video with- so cute!! Can you tell I'm a proud Grammy?! Have a great day everyone- and try to come Sat. for dinner.It is always fun when we are together!! (((hugs))) Ellen

This weekend we're going to the in laws to visit and I get to see my nephew again...
