I took the dogs on an extended walk this morning and did some of my back exercises. I'm doing 'superman' stretches where you are on your hands and knees and raise your opposite arm and leg and hold for 5 secs. I'm up to 10 at a time on each side twice a day. It works the core muscles and I can definitely feel it when I do them. I'm happy though because I've been able to increase from 5 to 7 to 10 now, and they aren't totally killing my knee. Baby steps back to fitness.
Today will probably be a little bit slow here at work, only one meeting and I'm trying not to start too many new things since I'll be gone for a week. I've still got to try to pull some data that I need from phone company websites so I'll probably do some training on their sites to figure out the best way to get what I need. Jeff has class tonight so I'll probably play on the computer some with Dad and then veg out and possibly go to bed early.
FYI- If any of you are into voice chatting on the computer with family, etc, you should check out Skype. We installed it and are incredibly impressed with the quality and stability of the connection. It saves a ton on cell minutes and long distance too, though of course both people have to have a computer headset with a microphone to use it, but it's definitely a good utility if you need it.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Quick drive by! It's been a while and I miss you guys!
Chase is almost done with his first week living in the dorm. He texted on Monday that he and his dorm mate decided that a couch would look good in their room. I texted back that we would look into it and that I missed him. He replied "I'll be home on Friday mom!" lol Today he texted asking if I would make a dr's appt for him- seems that he is having trouble sleeping. I told him that I'd take care of it- he replied back that he loved me and would see me on Friday. I think he may be a little homesick.
Kaylee bought three goats last week. They have been keeping her busy. Her first week as a senior has been good.
Addison started high school this week too. She got lost a few times the first day but is enjoying school now and making new friends.
Bailey brought home some homework last night that was like a life size newspaper about herself. There is a part about her family and she included me in it. It made me feel all fuzzy. She's been the hardest one to win over but I think she's doing ok.
Last night I rode the newest horse through the paces and we did OK. We weren't trotting or anything but the fact that we didn't knock any poles over is pretty incredible. It's good therapy for whatever stresses are happening in life.
I got an email from the realtor that she wants some extra things done in the house and won't show it again until they're completed. I guess one more hurtle! Ugh!
Well I have a lunch date with GINA!! So I better scram!
Love you guys!

Good Morning OH Family!
I got sidetracked this morning. I'm baking a chocolate cake to take to work for a co-worker's birthday. Last night at work was verrrry slow, but will probably be busier tonight. I'm training tonight on something new. Looking forward to that. Laylabug is loving her new school. It's so nice and cool this morning. Got a little shower last night. I can't wait until Fall. It's my favorite time of year! Well better get things done before I go to work. Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Prayers and hugs for our little Meggie!
Your loved!
