***Monday Roll Call***
Good morning Pam and PA - today is a MUCH better morning for me - the sun is shining, my "little" boy is home from camp, and I have another busy day ahead of me!
I am taking my son to his High School orientation - OY VEY!!!! I can't believe he is this old?!?! He is taller and smarter than his dear mommy! :) Very excited for him! I then come back home to tutor and then pick up my son and head to my school to bring things to my classroom - then, FINALLY, I am going to get to take my brother to see our Great Aunt and Uncle this afternoon. Tonight, I am home with hubby - hopefully trying to set up my son's basement bedroom so that we can start getting the little one into her new room before school starts. Looks like a trip to IKEA to get her some of her own bedroom furniture.
Also, tonight, my little brother HAS to spend time alone with our sister - oy - if you hear of a murder - you will know that I have siblings involved with it - my brother has NO patience for my sister's lifestyle and my sister is "holier than thou" and forgets what it is like to be an open minded 21 year old. Should be interesting - I am SOOOO NOT going to be with them - I am afraid it would get ugly REAL fast!
That is it for my day - hope you all enjoy this Monday - the beginning of my last full week of summer vacation.

Good Morning!
I had a great weekend with hubby just being home. Today has me back at work and fighting some kind of a rash - STILL! After work I am going home to do some cleaning and planing for the weekend. Make dinner and bed early. Chris had me up several times last night he wasn't feeling well.
Happy Monday all

Morning everybody - back at work for me today - cold is finally subsiding and I'm feeling much better. The weekend was quiet getting things done around the house and catching up on cleaning, etc. I did get on my recumbant bike yesterday and got a good work-out in for the first time in weeks, so that felt good. Plan for this week is to ride my bike Mon, Wed, Fri and go to Curves Tues, Thrs and Sat. Sunday I will rest.
Mom is doing very well at home - visiting nurse will be there today to check on her and PT comes tomorrow. She's getting around the house pretty good and the swelling in her leg is going down and good color is coming back. The poor thing looked like a giant plum when she came home from the hospital from all the IV's, blood thinners, etc. But good color is coming back to her arms and legs and torso now, and I was able to get her outside to sit on the porch a couple of times this weekend - I know that made her feel good.
Not much else new for me - just really working hard at getting back to a good food routine - got a few protein shakes in this weekend and I think that really helped ease this cold and build my resistance back up. Amazing how quickly our bodies react to bad eating and no exercise...

Good morning.
This morning I finished up the last of my tests the doc ordered. So now just waiting....ugh!
I will be at wor****il 3:30. then to my sisters to pick up the big boys. They went to her house today to swim. Then home to Johnny and other kiddos. We will probably just make some chicken breasts on the grill, and chill this evening. Maybe catch up on some laundry from the weekend.
Hope everyone has a great day!

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Monday Monday... yuck yuck yuck.. did I say yuck yet? What a great Saturday and busy Sunday--school shopping.. 8 more days!!!!! I can't wait until she goes back to school and is back into a routine!
Back to work today.. yippee! I am SOOOO tired. Coffee is brewing! Full caffeine today. Will have to make sure I up the water today.
After work, I HAVE to get to the gym. I haven't been there since Friday. Not that I didn't get a great workout Saturday on the zipline, but I feel like I didn't do a lot of gym/exercise stuff last week. I need to get back in the groove.
Nothing else really planned for today. When I get home from the gym, I will do some cleaning up around the house. During the day today, I am hoping that Siehara will clean her room. She did a great job on her closet yesterday, but now her room looks like crap. My former boss was supposed to come over tonight for a visit, but isn't now. BUT, I am not telling my daughter that she's not coming until AFTER I work on getting her to clean her room. LOL!!!
Hope I wake up soon and that everyone has a great Monday!

Happy Monday Morning!
I ended up having a very busy weekend, which was nice, and now I'm back at work but also busy planning my next trip out of town. I leave on Thursday for 10 days at the beach in North Carolina -- I can't wait!
I have to go to the dentist at lunchtime -- definitely NOT my favorite doctor to go to, but I'm going back to my old dentist in her new practice, so I'm actually feeling pretty content about it. After work I'm going to go buy myself a beach chair -- just a regular beach chair that I can sit in and not have to think twice about if I'll fit or if I'll break it -- that is huge NSV for me! And then after that I'll head to the gym for some Zumba. Definitely looking forward to that.
Have a great day everyone!

Hi Folks!
This whole week will be busy, as classes at the college start Wednesday - tomorrow's In Service and today's all the last-second IT prep for all the instructors who didn't think to get their stuff ready back in April and May when we TOLD them to... as well as last-second registration and schedule changes. What fun.
Gotta do grocery shopping tonight (hi wegmans) and figure out what to wear for In Service tomorrow, since a lot of these are people I see at most twice a year... and even the others have mostly not been around all summer... so people who haven't seen me since my surgery. I want to make sure I look good ;-).
Took Katie back to school this weekend, which was a long and exhaustng trip. 4 hours out and 4 hours back... took her boyfriend out, too, so we unpacked both his apartment and her dorm room. We were all so pooped after that that we had dinner, then went back to the hotel, turned out a harry potter movie, and all promptly fell asleep.
We did have a really lovely breakfast Sunday morning in state college, with one of my "foster daughters" (one of a group of girls who practically LIVED at my house for several years from middle school through high school) who I haven't seen for a couple of years. She didn't recognize me (ha!). Well, the hair IS different (color and length) as well as the weight loss. But we had a wonderful time (and even though we were at the Waffle Shop, which has the most awesome waffles and pancakes, I had a delicious egg-white omelet with spinach and mushrooms and a side of strawberries and bananas.).
So I'm beat. Gonna take a few days to catch up!
I must say - ziplining would have been more fun, though!
