Topic: RE: Happy Hump Day!!!
Ahhhhhh Is it Friday yet??  Not that it helps too much since I have to work a half day on Sat sometime.   Today has not started very well.   My job is soooo stressing me out on top of everything else lately.   I just want to curl up in a hole for a while.   I would love a mental break but it's just not going to happen.  I told my sister I was going to drive to a hotel with a few books this weekend and be all alone LOL.  But then I'd have to work more to pay for it LOL.   I totally feel like I'm going to go crazy! 

Sadie's school class went well.   She had a great time.   It was weird for me just because there are so many new people and no familiar faces other than the teacher.  She went from being one of the younger ones last year to being the oldest this year.  My baby is growing up!!!  Last night was her gym and swim class and she had a blast.   She loves it as long as there's no "boy" teacher LOL.   It was well worth the money we paid for it. 

Tonight is dinner at church and bible studies....but since I'm in the kitchen I don't get to go to bible study.   Arggggg just another area of frustration for me LOL. 

I'm going to be positive...this day will get better LOL.

YAY!!!  1/2 way through the week!! 

Michelle, girl, I UNDERSTAND about needing the 'me time' very much!!!  Then, sometimes, if you are lucky enough to get any, it just seems like your mind is somewhere else, stressing & worrying, when, you should feel like you have "run away" in your mind!!  We really NEED that mental break!!!  Or, like as you say, we start to explode on people!!!

How was Sadies class last night??  Did she enjoy it??


Hope everything gets better as your week goes, maybe you can catch a break this weekend??  Run away & read a book?

Oh Jamie...I hear you on the homeowner stuff.   We have so much to get done before the snow flies here and not much time left.   Ughhhhh

I am in a funk....tired, stressed, crabby...you name it.   Just too much to do.  I threatened to run away last night.   I'm so exhausted and tired of not getting any time for me.  I have flipped out on my family often lately .   I just want them to help.   Then to top it off my daughter has called to say she needs to talk to us....great who knows what that is about.   My life has been so much less stressful since she moved out.  Ahhhhhhhhhh

Oh well.  On a good note my eye appt went well and I don't have to go back for 8 months.  WooHooo.

The pfd's were just announced.... $1281.00  YAY!!!  Looks like DH & I might have a whopping $550.00 left after Friday... the hvr system went out (the motor burned out-- it is an air exchanger... we do not have exhaust fans in our bathrooms).  We are so lucky!!  HA HA-- yup, that was sarcastic!!  Some years are good for being a home owner & some years are NOT!!  This was just NOT a good year to be a home owner!!  It has been an expensive year, unfortunately.  The house is 11 years old. 

Luckily... our house did not burn down, so I have to be thankful for that!!!!!

Topic: RE: It's Monday already!

Well, from what I "heard" today from a co-worker.... according to them, snow is supposed to be here in like 2 weeks.

All I know, is that whenever it comes, I AM READY, well, as ready as anyone can be, anyways.  No studs on the car, as of yet, but got all of the snow gear dug out!!!

Hubby is moose hunting for his draw on the base right now.  He has a vactaion week (or 2??) planned sometime in October.  The Game Management Unit is different there, than here, where we live..... only 20-25 minutes away fromus, the Game Management Unit changes.  So, thus, the rules & dates of hunting change too.  Their moose hunting ends the end of October/beginning of November.

Anyways, tomorrow is Alaska's "BIG" DAY!!!  They officially announce the exact amount of the dividend!!! (PFD)

Have a good night

Ugghhh how I dread Mondays.   Had a wonderful weekend though so it's hard to end that.  We spent time with my sister and her family.  It was a lot of fun.  Got some birthday shopping done for Sadie and a fall jacket for myself.  We spent a lot of time just visiting and relaxing.  Today is eye dr appt...hoping everything is going well and it'll be quick.  My son is driving me though just in case.  Busy week ahead of us with something to do every evening except tonight and 15 hrs of OT for work.  Sadie starts her school class tomorrow night so that should be fun. 

Hope everything is going well.   Getting ready for that 4 letter S word, Jamie??   I don't think I'll ever be ready but I know it's coming.

Hey Jamie!!   Sooo glad it's now Friday.   It's been a long week.  I'm exhausted and sore....can feel that I'm getting old this morning.  Glad to hear you're finally getting some good weather.  Glad you're seeing someone to get help as well.   It's sooo hard to keep your spirits up when you have so much going on.   Hope you start to feel much better. 

We had my uncle's funeral yesterday.   I helped my one aunt do all fo the work for the lunch.  OMG were we busy.   There was a lot of people thre.   Got to see lots of family that I haven't seen in a long time.  

We're going to visit my sister for the weekend.  OMG I can't wait to get out of here for a few days.  Well, I better go get my work done.   Take care!!

Michelle,

Sorry for you loss.  Sure sounds like your weekend was truely a whirlwind of one, for sure!!!  Have a GREAT time at the ball game!!!

I have been struggling A LOT lately, but it is slowly getting better, step, by step.  DH & I (well, actually ME-I was the one holding back) went to our first counseling session this last weekend.  I go alone next weekend.  This will help me get back 'on track'  I usually suffer from SAD-when it starts to lose signifgant daylight, I take medicine for that, then, in the spring, I wean myself off.  I did just that, this past spring, and in June, I desperately (my doctor & husband were adamant!!) needed to go back on them.  I would say 95% of that was because of this shoulder injury.  My ""MENTALITY / ANAL RETENTATIVENESS"" is: If I cannot work, I am WorThLess.  Yes, stupid, I know, but this is just how I am.
It does not help that I have only been able to go out camping one time this entire summer & not even go fising at all!!!!  That does not help at all!!

I am thinking of wanting to take a week off of work, but, the double-edged sword of that, is I am SO close to re-submitting for my revision, I have been saving up my leave time, ya know?

Wow what a whirlwind weekend!!!   Why do they always go so quickly?   We had a busy one for sure.   Friday DH took Sadie to the high school football game while I did some errands.   Sat we went to the fall festival and then attended a local event to recognize the victims of 9/11.   Got a little housework done as well.   Yesterday we got up and headed to church early to help with the breakfast.   Just before the service started I got a message from my cousin's wife that our uncle had passed away.   He'd had quadruple bypass surgery a little over a week before and didn't come through the surgery well at all.   He was in a coma since surgery.   It was a tough day...bringing back memories of my parents and grandparents who have all passed on.  It shall be a trying week as we get ready to pay our last respects.  My husband works at the hospital and was there the morning he went into surgery.   He was able to talk to him and try to comfort him.   It's wrong but I so wi**** had been me.   Oh well he is now with his parents, brother, and sister watching over us. 

Sadie starts swim lessons this week and school next week.   We're getting back into the fall routine again.   We will be leaving on Friday to visit with my family and attend a MN Twins baseball game with friends and family.  

Hope you are all having fun!
