I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Good morning, everyone!
We had a really nice rain yesterday afternoon. First we've had in a looooong time! Seems all of Texas is in drought mode right now. Anyway, I know my yard and flower beds and garden were happy to get a good drink finally!
I didn't do my squash yesterday. Stuff just kept happening. So that's today's project for sure! And I need to get out there and pick it again, darn it. I need my gardener husband here to help with the harvest! It always turns out this way. He plants it, then he leaves and I get stuck with the picking and putting up.
Product Review: Bariatric Advantage has a new flavor of calcium chews: caramel! Oh, they are so good! Yummo! Especially if you combine one caramel chew with one chocolate chew!
The scale wasn't my friend today. Same as yesterday. Oh well, I need to get on my treadmill and walk again today! Right, Grammy? I missed yesterday.
My "mouse shoulder" has flared up and makes computing very uncomfortable. I can't hardly stand to reach for the mouse right now. I sure do miss my Advil! Tylenol doesn't do a thing for me.
So much going on in Off-ville today. I won't try to address everyone, just say thoughts and prayers for all.

Good afternoon! Prayers and (((hugs))) for those who need them!
Nancy - when my dad passed away his g/f took EVERYTHING! She wouldn't even give us dad's pictures. :( However, my DH (the kind soul he is) said, "Honey all she took is materialistic. She can't take it with her. However, you have your memories and she can never take those away." My sister is still so angry with her but I have forgiven and moved on. I am not "judge and jury"...she will meet Him one day and will have to answer for what she did.
I went to the dr on Tuesday and he had an x-ray taken of my shoulder and I have to go see an ortho dr here in town. Can't get in until June 1! So I'll just keep taking the Edoltolac and exercising it three times a day. Still hurts like the dickens and hand is going numb more frequently. :(
Just found out Wednesday night I am going to be a great-aunt again - TWICE! Yep...twins! 100% sure one is a girl and over 80% the other is too. One is definitely more dominate than the other. The one was all laid out and moving around...while the other was curled into a ball! hehe Anyhoo - she brought the ultrasound pics out when then came....can't believe the development at 18 weeks! AMAZING!

Hello Friends,
Thank you so much for all of your kind responses the other day. I'm feeling better now. I was feeling adrift, but after visiting my Mom yesterday I'm feeling better. She is doing better- we still have lots of decisions to make, but I'm dealing with it all better now. It is a roller coaster. I never expected that this process would be so hard.
School is winding down... 10 more days. If the budget isn't dealt with next year might end at the end of April. I just can't imagine that is where this mess could go. How could a state shortchange it's children on the back of a Wall Street crime. Unbelievable...
I'm preparing a power point presentation for the Special Ed Awards next Friday. It's being held at a winery this year- it will be very nice. Some of you know that I love a glass of cabernet now and then! :)
Happy Friday!
Julia

So glad that you are feeling better about your mother. That has to take a load off your mind.
Funding for education - don't get me started. People who are not in the trenches like you and I are don't know and can never understand. They think we work too little and get paid too much (maybe that's a Canadian thing as teachers are better paid here, but you know what I mean)
Enjoy the time at the winery and have a glass for me since I never seem to have wine around - I must pick up a nice red soon and a white I can chill for those hot days!

Hi Margo and my OFF family:
Bit of a strange morning here. I was planning on running some errands on payday Friday, but just before 10 a.m., as I was considering getting up, the phone rang. My coworker Mark has a couple of kitties he has shown me, and I was thinking of getting a partner for Juliette, but the first time we were going to get together, he had a wrong phone number for me. So we didn't hook up. So he calls me this morning, says he has the kittens in the car and should be by in a half hour.
Well, Juliette was actually pretty good ... she hissed a couple of times, sniffed around them, vocalized a little but otherwise, jus****ched them. The little gray one with blue points was oh so cute ... there was a black one, too, that was bundle of trouble, into everything. But I was kinda blindsided by this and, in the end, I passed. I guess I just wasn't ready. I didn't know if I could afford a second cat.
So I took myself to the grocery store for a few things and came home, got lunch and now I'm just relaxing a bit before work. Anyway, not a whole lot going on. Have a good day.
