Topic: Freezing rain this morning!!!

Talk about a SKATING RINK!!!!  I did fine in my car, getting Hunter over to daycare.  But, my work van was another story!!!  I was going 10-12mph and slid sideways, trying to turn, and ended up on the sidewalk, almost slid into a parked vehicle at City Hall.  VERY, VERY slick!!!  It is supposed to turn to rain later this afternoon.  1/2 of the employees are not here & the construction and splicers are NOT going out on the roads today.  I have 2 more runs today, and my boss, who, by the way could not make it in due to the conditions, e-mailed us & said to wait until later this afternoon.  So, instead of 2 more runs, I will skip my mid-day at 10:00, and just do my 3pm one.  That will be much safer!!!
Believe it or not, the dumb-ass school districts have school in session!!!  How truely STUPID.


Have a GREAT DAY!!!!!!

Glad to hear Sadie is a little better & that she has her bible verse all memorized!!!  And SO HAPPY for you that you & DH get an outing alone!!!

Yes, happy Thursday, indeed!!!  A blistery 5 degrees here today.
I too am looking foward to next week, we get Thursady & Friday off (we are closed here at work) and I took the following Moday off as well, so I will be busy with family, but I will have 5 days in a ROW to relax!!!  I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO looking foward to that!!  I have not gotten any "decent" rest for about 2 months, and my batteries are running low!!  I sleep 3 hours a night, the other 4-5 hours I am frustrated, TRYING to fall aslepp.  Yes, I have addressed this with my doctor, and we upped my anti-depressant, but, uhhhhh, still no decent sleep!!  I am exhausted.  Just trying to ride it out, without blowing my top!!!  Cause I have a short temper & can't deal with things too well right now.  Sometime being an adult just SUCKS.

But, I am alive & breathing!!!!!!

Topic: Happy Thursday
All I am doing here is counting down to next Wed afternoon.   Can't wait to get those couple of extra days off next week.  I'm working extra this week so it'll be well appreciated.  Looking forward to spending some time with my oldest nephew as well.   He decided to come spend the holiday with us. 

Well, Sadie continues to be a challenge but last night was a little better.   She and I went to church and then spent some time together here at home alone.   We went to bed together...read stories and fell asleep waiting for daddy.   Daddy came home and carried her to bed.   It was kind of nice to cuddle up with her like that.  I'm thinking I need to do more of that kind of stuff with her.   Tonight Luke and I are volunteering at a food distribution thing here in town.   He's going to go to church afterwards and I will be coming home to relax.  Tomorrow night our children's minister and his wife are doing a parents night out....so they will take the kids, feed them supper, and do some activities for 4 hours while we get some time out without them.  I'm sooo looking forward to it and so is Sadie.  She's so proud to go to church this week as she knows her bible memory verse well and can't wait to show them.  She's growing up wayyyy too fast.    Other than that we don't have anything planned for the weekend.   Hoping to get some things done around the house.  

Have a great Thursday!

Michelle,

Ahhhhhhhhhhh yes, testing the waters..... Oh my how they are so very GOOD at that!!!!

Was off of work yesterday.  Plumbers were at the house, putting in out new tankless ho****er heater.  That way we can take advantage of that tax credit before it expires next year.

Busy day today, playing catch-up & all!!!!
Have a GREAT DAY!

Topic: Good Morning
Well, here it is a new week yet again.   Hoping today is a better day than yesterday.   It wasn't a terrible day but Sadie was very trying yesterday.   She's testing waters big time.   Making mommy and daddy want to pull our hair out.   Daddy says he won't have any left soon LOL.   She was in bed early last night.   I'm thinking an earlier bedtime might be in store from here on out to give us some time for ourselves.   Since we get up so early we tend to go to bed as soon as she does.  Last night we actually sat down and watched an episode of Law & Order together.  I must say it was really nice. 

Busy week ahead as usual.  I"m working 15 hrs OT plus something going on every evening.  Friday is parents night out for church.  We can drop her off there from 5:30pm to 9:30pm and have some time to ourselves.  Can't wait for Friday....even if we just come back home and get some work done LOL.  I'm thinking maybe a movie though.

We had a storm blow through over the weekend.   Up the hill about  a mile from us they got 11 inches of snow.   We got nothing!   Just rained here.   Sadie was disappointed but not me LOL. 

Have a great day!

Crossing my fingers for you Jamie!!  Hope you hear back real soon.  

I'm tired too...stayed up talking to my ex husband's niece on the phone last night.  She called to pass some info on to my kids about her dad who isn't doing well.  I'm just glad it's Friday.   Sadie and I have some running to do this afternoon though.   She wants a haircut....am thinking about getting it cut to right about shoulder length.  I'm nervous though lol...afraid her curls will go with the cut.  We're supposed to get 3-7 inches of snow tomorrow so I better get her some boots too!

Have a good weekend

I am so exhausted!!!  I have not slept well for like 2 months!!!  Have a doctor appointment late this afternoon, and I am due for my annual labs, while I am there, getting that order, I will talk to him about not sleeping good.  I have been averaging around 3 hours a nght, after FIGHTING for the first 5 hours TYRING to FALL asleep.  Talk about frustrating!!!!  But, in good news, got the "last piece" of what the surgeon needed for my revision in the mail Wednesday, so, they should be getting the packet sent off to insurance for approval!!!  YEE HAAWW!!!!  Here is to hoping for an approval!!!  The surgeon's office is trying to get it scheduled (once approved) before the end of this year!!!  You know, in case the poicy changes!!!


Hope your weekend goes well!!!

The weather here has been amazing this week 50 degrees in Nov???  I'm sure soon it'll change.   I need to get out and get Sadie some winter boots this weekend.  I'm exhausted this morning 2 nights up til 10pm is going to kill me LOL   Man I sound old!!  10 is late when the alarm goes off at 4am.    We had a meeting at church last night and as usual it went long. 

Glad your father in law is on the mend.  I sure hope he stays well now and it was nothing too serious. 

Well it's time to work so off I go.  

Have a good day!

Topic: BRRRRRRRR it is 15 degrees!!!

Yes, winter has finally arrived, and now it is DARK too!!!  DH's dad is home.  The hospital & doctors could not really find a clear answer to why his dad was getting light headed and dizzy when he would stand up.  His blood pressure would go down, and cause him to get very dizzy, when he would stand up.  So, I guess there was more going on then just dehydration.  The only thing the doctors could come up with was to put him back on steroids.  They think that MIGHT have played a roll in this.  So, here is to hoping that this is the answer.


Have a GREAT day!!!!!

Oh Jamie, I'm so sorry to hear all of this.  Glad he's where he needs to be though.  I will definitely keep him...as well as you all in my prayers.  

Nothing going on around here but the normal working and running around.   Ohhhh wait there is something new.   My son moved out over the weekend so we're down to just Sadie at home now.   It's really quiet.  Somewhat it's nice but we do miss him sometimes LOL.   Of course he was here yesterday to get a few things....have something to eat....and let mom take him shopping for a few things LOL.   He did say he might come this afternoon to visit Sadie.   I said good I'm making a big beef roast for dinner and the 3 of us will never eat all of that.  

Jamie, I hope they get things figured out.   Have a better day today if that's possible.
