Good Morning My TMB Family,

It is terrific Tuesday, and besides missing my friends in Texas life is pretty terrific today.  I have a beautiful home, a husband I adore, and three boys (well 4 if you count my grandbaby) that I love more then anything.  We are slowly getting this house put together.  I worked on putting pictures up, but ran out of hangers.  Will get more today when I go grocery shop.  Came across pictures from my OH event in Dallas.  Some great memories of spending time with all of you.  My scale was up a pound this morning so guess I need to do something about that this morning.  I really need to start walking again.  I always felt so good when I was walking every day and I cant make the excuse it is to cold thats for sure.  Not to much on the agenda for today.  Going to check out the Commisary and hope that they have good deals.  Need to start getting my stuff today for Thanksgiving.  My Mom and Dad will be here on Monday and are going to be staying a week.  Tim will be here on Turkey Day with Jon, and then Nadia will come on Friday and they will stay for the weekend.  We are going to have a house full but I cant wait.  Well guess I have gone on long enough.  Woke up in a good mood this morning.  Prayers today for Dana as she continues to recover from her surgery, for Eric and Jenny, for Vivian and her family, and for Karen as she also recovers.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys.

Good morning! I think it was colder here than where you are yesterday-that's what my mom said and she's in Philadelphia. I woke up freezing this morning, on the couch. Funny thing is I don't remember falling asleep. I hate it when that happens because then when I first open my eyes I'm disoriented for a few seconds. And it was 3:15am-which means I slept from 9pm till then which is almost unheard of for me. Usually I wake up a few times tossing and turning. I guess I was tired!
What's terrific in my life- well pretty much everything. I have a great family. I have a home that is still pretty spotless from the cleaning lady that we're about to start decorating for Christmas. I have a pile of Christmas gifts to wrap in the office, which makes me excited for the holidays. I listened to Christmas music all day yesterday. The only negative thing is my foot pain, but that's getting better-just not as fast as I'd like. I was hoping to be walking SOME for exercise but its all I can do to get through the day still. Its just very frustrating. I see the doctor Thursday.

I hope everyone has a great day today!!!

Have a great day, ya'll!  Love you!!

Good morning! It was brought to my attention, yesterday, by a caring sister, that I have not been posting much lately-here or on FB. I get up early enough, but tend to "piddle around", read, etc and then run out of time. I also do the majority of my praying in the morning-it really helps start the day off right. I'd LIKE to say I'm spending my morning time EXERCISING, but the my nose would start growing...

My life is pretty TERRIFIC all the way around. My health is good, my family is great, and I have the BEST FRIENDS I've ever had in my life. I have SISTERS and SISTAHS, who totally "get" me. Life is TERRIFIC-Tuesday and everyday. I have "bad days"-of course I do-but I choose not to dwell on them, and constantly bring myself and others down. None of us is promised a tomorrow-we have do the best with the "here and now"...

Work is better....or I've just adjusted to the chaos and circus atmosphere...lol...I finally passed all the tests t be nationally certified in the job I do...WOOHOO...they were hard for an old dog!! It gave me a "sense of accomplishment" and the certification is MINE-the company paid for it, but it's MINE...

I'm looking forward to peep time this weekend, with Six Flags on Saturday and the Prairie Lights 5K on Sunday..wish today was Saturday!!!!!!!!

Okay...guess I don't have to catch up all my posting in ONE morning....

Hope everyone has a TERRIFIC, safe day!!

I LOVE Y'ALL AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!!

Morning all!  Is warmer today and RAINY, but is on track to be a wonderful day!

The "girls" (meaning Peekers and Ally) are continuing their getting-to-know-you ritual, hissing, growling and lots of slinking around.  It's quite amusing, but Ally is coming out more and more, so I suppose that things are right on track.  They both like to sit in the window and look out, so they disagree over who gets the "perch." I guess in a month or so they will be best buds. 

Have a full day ahead of me, so it's time to hop in the shower, get dressed and hit the road.  They rekeyed all the offices at work yesterday, so I can't get in mine until 7ish, so I'll be going in a little later than usual. I just hope that they decide to give me a key this time.  It's hard when you have to stand around waiting until one of the other guys comes in so I can get into my office.  I can have keys to everything else around there, but since am a "contractor" not one to the office...really??? What's up with that? But no one could explain it to me...other contractors have keys to their offices...just sayin'. I feel like I need SERIOUS caffeine this morning, so am heading to work by way of Sbux.  

Y'all have a great day!  I plan on to, even with the rain.....

Hugs y'all!

Good morning.  Busy day ahead full of ARD meetings all day long, then my homebound student until at least 6:00 after work.  I'll be glad when all that is over and done and I can come home.  My life is terrific because I can get through these long days w/o a problem!

I got a few Christmas decorations put out last night and will work on that some more tomorrow evening. 

Prayers for Dana and Karen for recovery.

Prayers for all others who need them.

Have a great Tuesday!

Karla

Quick drive by as I'm running late and I need to get my lunch together still for work.

I have this continued nagging cough that won't leave.  Woke up at 2:26 and ended up in a 45 minute fit and couldn't get back to sleep.  I'm starting to feel 'better' except for that.

Besides that all is well I suppose.  I'm still wishing I didn't have to haul my butt off to work but...life goes on.

I'll read everyone's posts after work...hope you have a great day.
