***Wicked Wednesday Roll Call***
Good Morning all!
The big boys are off to school, the little ones are still sleeping, so I thought I would catch a few moments before they all cry and roar for breakfast.
This morning after we are all bathed and dressed, which seems to take Riley hours these days, we will take a ride into walmart to pic up some pics I have had stored in my laptop but never printed. We will also pick up some lunch meat and baby food.
Little ones and I are having a picnic lunch with my mom at the park. She works at Curves and starts at 2, so we will just hang there until about 1:45, then head home.
Once my big boys get home and finish homework, they will be busy bees doing chores and going through their clothes so we can get rid of "too small" or tight things. Coy's small things get saved for Sawyer, Sawyer's small things, get passed to my cousin who is just below sawyers size. We are a family of Hand me down! Except Riley, she's the first little girl so she gets "new clearance" or nice yard sale things, then they get passed on. budget, budget, budget, with 4 children's wardrobes! LOL
Have a good day, so far mine seems much better than yesterday!
When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Good morning all - Pam, after many visits to the ER in the past few years with my mom I have only kind words to say to anyone who works in that unit - and all nurses in general...I will be eternally grateful for all of the wonderful nurses who cared for my mom and they loved her! In my humble opinion nurses are never paid or appreciated the way they should be. Even the night I had to go in and see mom after she passed the nurses all came out and hugged me, told me how much they loved taking care of mom because she was a 'good' patient, brought me tissues (which of course I forgot in the moment) - so THANK YOU FOR BEING A NURSE, and a GREAT one at that!
I am at work and very lonely this morning. My guys are all off at a meeting - boss is still vacationing in sunny Sanibel, FL - the two co-workers I was expecting sometime this morning both e-mailed and said they'd be in late due to various reasons...and my bff who always writes first thing is on federal jury duty so she's not around either. Guess I'll go eat worms.
I am getting back into the swing of things - getting more proteins and veggies back into my diet, even if I have to add a protein bar for a snack - sleeping is much better now and I'm very thankful for that. Still not exercising like I should be but I am walking more now that the weather is nice - trying to adjust to the whole cooking dinner thing - that was always mom's 'job' and she loved it - now hubby suffers thru mine - LOL.
Other than that not much new in my life right now - calm and quiet is good.
Oh - almost forgot! Hubby and I are heading to Florida in May to visit my sibs and while there we booked a short Bahamas cruise - sort of a second honeymoon - can't wait!!

Good Morning everyone -
I was up early this morning so that I could get out of the house a few minutes earlier today. We dropped my car off at the mechanic last night, so I am borrowing my boyfriends Mustang today. I wanted to make sure I took it easy on 422 and not try to speed too much like I usually do in my car when I'm running behind. I'm really surprised that he hasn't texted me to make sure that I (or more appropriately, the car) got to work ok...haha. I was very careful.
I'll be at work today until 3:30, then stop to pay for my car and then hit the gym. I wish that I could be in love with the gym. So far, I'm just not there yet. I go because I have to, not because I want to.
Hope everyone has a great day !

hey Lisa.. I hear you about the gym. I was loving it for awhile, then it started to become a task.. I'm getting back to loving it because I am seeing the results in my clothes.
Can you find a gym buddy? or maybe try some classes?
I know that when I go to the classes, I feel better because of a few reasons: 1. I push harder so I look good to the instructor 2. There are other people there to keep me moving 3. I know I will get in a certain amount of time because I will not leave a class early unless I absolutely HAVE to for an appointment.
I am hoping to find a gym buddy for days when I can't do a class. It definitely helps to have someone there to help keep you motivated.
and get that pic back up!! Or, actually a new one. I want to see your beautiful face!

I love when you have time to post. I love love love the graphics you add - very fun! I do NOT have the patience to look through them all to find which ones I deem appropriate for the right emotion! Hence my old fashioned sideways :)!
So - I survived another Tuesday and only have six left to content with for this school year! Yippee! I warned my 7th graders that I was in a cranky mood last night and then they proceeded to argue with me and I brought out my teacher voice....I REALLY don't like my teacher voice! It is not nearly as pretty as my, "hee hee, here I am as crazy Steffi" voice - YES! That is what I call it ok?!?! :)
Today is another crazy day in my life. Kids have a half day and then we have oh so fun meetings this afternoon. I would so rather be teaching my students - and as we lost so much time, I really feel we are wasting our time in meetings! Oh well - I will have to go find my happy place again! Directly after school I have my mammogram scheduled and need to go get an X-Ray of my back also for my primary as he wants me to have that done to hopefully help with the insurance for my breast reduction. Then home for dinner - yes - actually eating with the family - I think....then to take Emily to her first therapy appointment. I am actually home from 7:45 on tonight - unless I decide that this is the only time I can make it to the market - (So NOT gonna happen!)
Ok- so I was just bombarded with my crazy colleagues and we laughed A LOT! Hopefully that is an indication of the way the day is going to go!
I have also totally lost my train of thought - so I am going to sign off now - I know - you are all now so thankful for my colleagues interrupting so I can stop! :)
Have a great Wednesday! :)

Well, it sounds like PA is having a good (or at least interesting) day...
I'm at work today (got my grocery shopping done last night, countertops templated yesterday - yay!, and met with a really nice couple who want me to do their wedding rings). Katie's coming up for lunch and I'm meeting Susan at some point to pick up the Max protein she was kind enough to buy for me when she got hers.
After work I'm going to do the patch/leveling of the floor, screw in more nails to the subflooring and spackle the walls. Maybe even get some ceiling painting done, but I'm not holding my breath on getting that far tonight. We'll see.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Pam, maybe they'd be happier if you spit quarters at them, 'cause, y'know, inflation and a down economy and all???
Steffi - behave yourself.
Love you all,
Karen
