Sunday Morning **** a Doodle Do

Hi guys.  It's 6:39am and my son thinks it is time to play.  I'll bet Tina and Suzanne are up too!

It's really dark out here in Metro Detroit.  I wonder if it's going to sprinkle today.

QOTD-how much of what you do (exercise, sleep, work, eat) is dependent on other people?  What do you do that is just for you alone?

Because of Nick's condition, a lot of what I do depends on what he needs.  When I can go work out, when I get up, etc. has to go along with his schedule.  I know this is boring but really the only thing I do no matter what is take my vitamins every day.  Regardless of what they cost or how I have to space them out, I make sure I do it.

Hope you all have a great day!!

Good Morning!

Bright, beautiful and sunny here this morning in Northern Michigan - about time!!!

QOTD:  Interesting question and it made me think.  Really, I'm not dependent on anyone for any of those things.  Well, maybe the cat for sleep.... she decides whether she's going to wake me up, let me sleep in, etc.... but as far as the rest, its all up to me.  I'm single, live alone (ok - my son comes and goes), so its up to me whether I exercise, get to work on time and what/where I eat.  Now - with that said, I'm not perfect at any of them.....

Good Morning Michigan.  Its a nice day here in Owosso pretty out.  
I cant believe its been a  week since I posted.  Crazy week last week.   Between several fosters coming and going and mom needing me in another part of the state.     I sometimes  think I have 2 homes,  one here in Owosso  on a nice piece of land and another  smaller one on wheels!!   I'm  not sure which one I spend more time in .

QOTD    sometimes  what I do is dictated by my having foster kids in  and what my parents needs are  and sometimes I am pretty much free to do as I wish.      Good Question~!
Have a great day everyone.

Morning Everyone!!

Well I was actually sleeping at that time but only because Daddy took over for me at 3:30am because I was just a walking zombie at that point. Unfortunately my headaches increase if I do not get sleep so I will be taking cat naps throughout the day as I can. She is just so beautiful and I am so glad to have her here with us. I am enjoying every minute of it.

We had some family come and visit yesterday and my Mom is coming down and should be here at noon for a visit for the day. She is super excited to see her.

QOTD: Well up until we became foster parents our schedule did not depend on anything. We were just waiting for that call... Now that we have it our schedule is dependent on her.. Even my work schedule. I have to go to work on Monday for a little while and discuss things with them. I would like to stay on part time but not sure at this point.

Brenda: I hope you get a nap in later on.. I am sure it is hard when you want to sleep in on the weekends and you get up early... Just keep remember those sweet moments from when he was a baby, or those sweet moments now that reminds you why you love him so much!! And drink some caffeine Momma!!

Good morning everyone!  

Looks like it's going to be a nice sunny day in mid-Michigan.

QOTD:  That is a good question Brenda...it really made me think because I always make excuses for not exercising because I have too much to do or have to make dinner for the boys, etc....but really, it is just an excuse.  I pretty much can do what I want without being dependent on any body else, I just tend to make excueses for the things I don't necessarily want to do.    I do love going to the tanner once in a while and just relaxing.

Suzanne - Congratulations on your new little girl!!!!

Good Morning,
I just got back from a stroll around the block where Hanna (4 yrs old) my grand-daughter made sure everyone was wake . . .

QODT- Good question . . . as I can be the queen of excuses!  I am single and my kids are grown so I should only have to work around my work schedule to get a work out in everyday but I don't always do it . . . some time's I'm just right lazy!  I usually have my food schedule figured out the day before so eating is never an issue but I am the closest of my siblings to my elderly parents and my son has 90% custody of my grand-daughter and they live with me so lots of "life" happens to my schedule. . .  . .

And when I'm alone I write - I've been writing  . .there not poems . . thoughts, for 35 years.  My children don't even know it . . . it's a gift I want them to find when I'm gone.  I have tons of notebooks they think are my journals and in a way they are.

Enjoy the day. . . . all you mommies try to get in a nap or two!

Oh my gosh...I have OH set up to notify me if I get a reply to a post.  It said KJ Wood replied to your post "**** a Doodle DO".  Hahahaha.  Someone must have read my 5 for Friday post and thought I'm such a perv that I meant something else...not a rooster!!!

 Hi All!

I'm doing the FlyLady Boogie today.  Gonna get this house sparkling today!  I'm on a 10 minute refresh break at the moment.  Doing 20 minutes of hard housework and 10 minutes of downtime. Been at it for a couple hours now and feel like I've gotten a lot accomplished. 

QOTD -- being single I rely on myself for almost everything.  Some days it gets lonely, of course, and I'm thinking of getting back into the dating scene.  We'll see.  Yesterday I went to Caseville and bummed around town and relaxed at the beach by myself.  Cleaning the house today -- if I don't do it, nobody will, right?  I am part of Crim training, so I meet my walking group on Tuesday nights - but I generally like working out alone better.

I hope the sun last as long as the say.  I would love if the rain would stale for a couple days.

QOTD:  Most of what I do depends on my DH, Children & grandchildren!  I watch the two grandsons for my middle DD that works third shift.  I take the other two grands sometimes.
