Good morning Carla. So I'm not the only one not sleeping. I usually end up on the computer when I can't sleep.
    I probably have the problem sleeping because I'm used to being awake at night for my job. So when I'm off work I usually have one night that I can't sleep. And this is the night, I guess.
I hope everyone has a great day. I will probably be sleeping when everyone else is posting.

Good morning all, soon to be good night.  I have 45 minutes of work left.  Then I get to go home and maybe, just maybe, get some sleep.

Extremely busy weekend for me, even by my standards.

It started with Thursday, Mary's birthday.  Went to the movies.  Saw Knowing.  She loves Nicholas Cage.  I was not impressed with the movie, she loved it.  Fine.  Then we went out to eat at Cafe Madrid, her favorite eatery. (Boy did I score big points that day).  In addition, she got 2 gifts from me.  The first was a new scrapbook machine they were selling on either HSN or QVC.  Told her to go ahead and get it, it was the special of the day on Wednesday.  Then I had a friend make a box to hold her colored pencils that she uses.  She loved it.

Friday was supposed to be the start of Eddie't tournament, but it was rained out, so I go to do my baseball draft live on line.  I enjoyed it.

Saturday morning I went to breakfast with some friends form the Texas Message Board, then I had a fantasy baseball auction that started at 11AM, and I was finished at 5:15.  Mary picked me up, went right to the ball fields.  (Mary was at the game earlier in the day that Eddie's team won 11-4) Saw Eddie's team lose a game 7-6.  It was a good game.  Then, they won the next game 8-2.   )During this game, Mary and I were watching Alex and he accidentally hit her in the face with a baseball.  Had a nice bruise on Sunday morning.)  Went out to eat, then home to bed.

Sunday went to Sunday School, then to Penny's house to celebrate Mary's birthday.  From there, back to the ball fields.  Semifinals was against the team that beat them 7-6.  This time we won, 8-1.  Awesome defense, especially for that age group.  There was only one strikeout.  Everyone wa****ting the ball, but the fielders were doing their jobs. 

Championship game was a very good game.  It was 5-3 our favor after 4 innings.  We started the 5th as time expired, but rules say we finish the inning.  Well, we scored 5 runs in the 5th, giving us an 8-3 lead.  Since there is a 5 run limit per inning, game over, the Stampede are the champs!!!

Then I had to get to work. Was one 90 minutes late.  Glad I had PTO to use.

Sorry so lengthy, but, as you can see, busy, busy, busy.



GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

George wow, do you ever rest?  Belated Happy Birthday to Mary!

George emailed me earlier saying the the Z's opening game is the 17th.  We have tickets for the 17th and 18th, and can't use them.  We made reservations two months ago at a nice hotel in the French Quarter to celebrate our anniversary (belated) during the French Quarter Festival.  I asked if we couldn't go to the FQ Fest during the day, go to the game in the evenings, and back to the hotel.  He said NO!  I can't believe we're missing the season opening, it will be the first time in YEARS.  We went the year I had brain surgery, we went last year after my thumb surgery.  How can he let a little thing like the FQ Fest stop us.

We have tickets to the LSU / Tulane game tomorrow night!  My BIL has tried to get tickets for the last couple of years and offered to buy mine at a much higher price than I paid!  No way!

I am so ready for baseball!

Good morning, Carla and my other OFF's. So......today is Monday. Oh brother! I do so hate Monday's with a passion. But I guess it is better than a week of Friday's. That would be awful........the week end would never come.

This afternoon is the doctor's appointment. It is coming at a good time since I have such a sore throat. It doesn't hurt all the time but when it does it really hurts. I think I got the crapolla that Bill has. He loves to share with me. My voice is kind of cracking and I hope that I don't lose it. I am sure that on the other hand Bill is hoping I do.

This afternoon after the doctor's appointment I have to take Carol in for her weekly ultrasound and NST. I am going to ask her if I can come in for the ultrasound since I would love to see my grandson again. I haven't seen him since he was just a few months along. I know that he has changed since then....a lot! He is getting ready to be born and I am so excited. There is so much that Bill and I want to do with him when he gets older. Bill and I are already looking for fishing poles for him. I am sure that he will be sharing time with Grandpa doing his favorite past time. Grandpa is waiting for that day. Shawn has never cared for fishing so he needs to share that with Kayden. I on the other hand want him to become a reader. I love to read and I am waiting to take him to the library. That is going to be our special time together. Fish and books sounds like a winner to me. What do you all think? I am sure after all the tests are done I will have to get Carol her dinner. She is usually hungry after the tests. With the gestational diabetes she has to eat every few hours since her sugar goes down. When it goes down she gets a headache and very tired.......I am sure we all, pretty much know where she is coming from. When Carol gets tired so does Kayden and he just doesn't do anything but sleep and then they have a problem getting him to move during the NST. It is just one thing after another.

So I guess I had better go. I have been up most of the night and I think I am going to bed and try to sleep a bit more. I spent the night in the chair so what sleep I got wasn't very restful.

Have a wonderful Monday all and know that I am sending my love and hugs to all along with prayers for a great day for everyone. Remember to smile at someone today to help make the sun shine for them. I will do the same thing too so the whole world should be happy along with us.

                    It's not what you gather, but what you scatter 
                        that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Hi Judy,
I did get the tea on Saturday.
You need to go to HR about not getting your breaks on a timely manner. it is against Osha labor laws to not get your breaks. I wouldnt wait!!!!!!
Otherwise we are doing good.
