Monday Train WLS Express!

ok No one has started this thing yet? ok.. tell ya what, im gonna push the button**** autopilot and go hit the SPA car. My back is screaming at me after this weekend. !!!! This was the worst move i have ever had and i swear i would have blown my head off had que and tom not been there to be the calm voice of reasoning as usual.  Que even looked at me at one point nad said DONT STRESS, its ok DONT DO IT! lo.
God bless them both, we didnt pull into Loralea's until almost 4am today. So YES QUE WILL BE TAKING TODAY OFF! I am so deeply grateful and indebteded (sp?) to them for everything this weekend, i am humbled beyond words. Love you both!
Now i am taking my stinky self to the shower, and hopefully to bed, just in time for the kids to get up for the first day of school lol. 
Hope those that are starting school today (moms and kids) have a great day.. report back later. Uhh my mom didnt take my moving news quite so well :)
love to all,
Liz

Good Morning Liz & TMB,

Liz it sounds like you deserve the day off.  

I am taking off early at around 11:00 a.m. today so that my BF and I can go to Lake Charles and shop for our table decorations for his and two of his other friends 45th birthday bash on Saturday night as well as shop at a few other places.  I am really looking foward to this weekend. So this will make for a long week I tell you.  Have a great day everyone! 

GOOD MORNING! I had to get up and make up snack bags for Chris. He's buying lunch today, but the teacher wants him to have some healthy snacks and juice boxes for snack- when he needs a recharge. We've found this to be a good thing for him to get back on track, esp in the late morning before lunch, to help concentration. I need to email his teachers this morning-just to give them a few ideas/hints for him to be successful. I am so proud of him- mainstream classes this year right off the bat. Certainly a far cry from last year. This school has been absolutely wonderful for Chris and he's really flourished here. I hope this year goes the same for him.

I walked with Bryan last night and I decided 1/2 way through our walk that I'd try jogging- I didn't go very far but I at least gave it a shot. It wasn't too bad. I always thought I couldn't run because of my back. So we'll see.

Well I'd better get moving- I'm running late this morning-hit the snooze too many times! have a great day everyone! Liz, Tom, Que-get some rest today!!! Good luck to all the kiddos starting school/college/grad school!!!

Well, Monday morning and I'm back to work today.  Last week was a hard one for me and I was on vacation! 

The plumbing blew up about 4 times and Jimmy kept having to come out and fix it.  Knock on wood that its finally fixed!!  I woke up this morning and, so far, no leaks and no running water!  But in the mean time, I punctured my elbow with a carpet tack looking into the crawl space under the house.  It hurt so bad yesterday morning I went to CareNow and got a tetnus shot and he gave me an antibiotic shot and a prescription for antibiotics that is stronger than the one I was taking for the chest congestion I had earlier in the week!  I need to go to work to get some rest!  Maybe they'll send me to the stand by room and I can take a nap! LOL!  My back is killing me!

I had a great brunch with the ladies Sunday morning!  It was great girls! Love Joe T's and enjoyed the time spent with friends!

Better get to the shower and get to work!  Have a great day!  Love ya!!

love the snack thing - it makes it so much easyer for them to consentrate - here they are not even allowed a water bottle in the class room - I think that is weird!
hug chris for me and tell him to have a great day and year

Good Morning Liz and the rest of my TMB Family,

I am so sorry that your move did not go well.  The important thing to remember is it is over now, and you can FINALLY settle in, in Dallas where you belong!  Glad you and Que and Tom to help you out.  I know how important that can be.  Well first day of school is upon us.  Not sure if I am a little more nervous then Eric is this morning.  It is going to be such a big change for him  Just need to have faith he can do it.  Not to much planned for today.  I hope to take a walk after Eric gets the bus.  If I do it early before it gets to hot should be ok.  My stomach has been cramping really bad the last few days.  I have taken the MOM and I have taken Corectol and I have had no luck.  Been 4 days. Maybe I need to call the doctor.  I dont want to but....  We met with the realtor yesterday, and there are a few things we need to get done to the house before we close a week from today.  Unfortunetly Mark just really does not have the time to do it, so realtor is giong to get some estimates and then we will probably just counter with the buyer and offer him money to get it done.  I dont think it will hold us back.  Ok time for  coffee and a little news before I need to get Eric up.  Danni, I hope you had lots of fun with your BFF this weekend.  Cant wait to see some pictures.  Prayers this morning for all those in need, especially our teachers, and students.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys.  Michelle

Liz of course Que come and helped you - she loves you and is fierce about making sure those she loves are tended to and taken care of

had the best weekend - went to see my bff in NC and puttered around her house all weekend including helping her unpack the garage (she unpacks and  moves in faster than I do - army wives are like that ) cooked visited and stayed up half the night visiting

and even with fast food on the way home I do not seem to have had any regian - so I have all week to see if I can knock off another pound or two

good luck to all those new college student and going back to school kids and mommas today

peace
Danni

girl you shoulda seen TOM~~~ OMG he was a workhorse  like you hadnt seen before! It was awesome to watch.
SOrry that bella dialed you.. she obviously wanted to say something to you!! who knows!]
I truely coudlnt not have handled all the snauffeaus this weekend with the 2 of them. I would have just said forget it and left everything there.
Have a greta day!
Liz

Good morning.  I'm still tired, even after 7 hrs. sleep.  Hopefully will catch up tonight.  I'm also a little sore after making 2 loads up to the third floor of Ben's dorm...after a 1/4 mile hike from the lot we parked in.  It was okay leaving him, but really hard after I got home.  I guess each day will get better.

He had to go back and buy a 3rd power strip w/ circuit breaker.  We took one, bought another at Lowe's yesterday, and one shorted out within a few hours.  Not cool at almost $20 each!  At least he texted back and forth w/ me. 

First day of school...really will be fast and busy.

Prayers to all who need them.

Have a great day.

Karla

Good morning!  I'm not a mom, so reading all your posts about kids and schools and schedules is making my head spin!  I'm sure you have rocket-powered roller skates or something to get it all done.

Liz, I hate moving, and your's sounded grueling.  But, you're on the other side of it now.  You just need to remember which box the coffee pot is in.

For my writing adventure, my editor was NOT happy with the ending of my latest work.  Soooo,  I spent yesterday and all night getting it rewritten.  She was right - it needed reworked.  I just hope she's happy with this version, as I'm running up against a publication date.

For my personal adventure, I made sure I doled out all my vitamins last night so I have no excuses for not taking them EVERY day this week.  I also figured out how much liquid my regular drinking glass holds, so I'll know how many to drink each day with water.  I got so much good advice yesterday from this forum about developing a plan, that I'm looking forward to this week.

I hope this Monday is productive and peaceful for all - in spite of going back to school.

Belle
