Topic: It's Monday yet again!
Here we go again....the beginning of another week.  I hope you all had a great Mother's Day.   We had a pretty good day here.   Sadie and I shared breakfast together.   We went to church and then to my mother in law's for a couple of hours.   After that we dropped off a plant for Sadie's adopted grandma.....her hubby works with my husband.   They have taken Sadie under their wing since she was born.  We came home to have tacos for dinner together.   It was a good day.

Saturday was Sadie's first dance recital.   She did great!  We were so proud of her.   She absolutely loved being on stage.  We may just have a performer on our hands.  We started rehearsal at 9 am were home from 1 to 3.   Back to the recital and didn't get home until 8:30pm.   She didn't even shed one tear...what a trooper she was.   She's ready to do it again next year she says.   Her grandma, adopted grandparents, auntie, uncle, and 5 friends of ours came to watch.   She got lots of flowers but her favorite were the ballerina finger puppets our friends brought for her.  I will upload some pics here in a bit and post a few.  

I am working today, tomorrow, and probably a few hrs on Wed morning and then am off for the week.  My niece is getting married on Sat so the kids and I are heading out of town Thursday.   I may not get a chance to post after Wed.  It should be a great weekend.

I hope you all are having a great day, have a wonderful weekend and marvelous Mother's Day!  Tonight I will be taking the oldest out for last minute prom stuff and probably some mother's day shopping for my mom's.  Tomorrow I get to spend the afternoon with my dad & stepmom, going to hit a couple of the little shops in town & fix her lunch.  Then we will have the oldest to get ready for prom, send them off & afterwards host a small party for a couple of her & a few friends.  This way we know where they are and what is going on.  Sunday we will get up and head over to my mom's to do breakfast, early afternoon soccer game & then I think I will relax all afternoon.  :)

Sounds like you ladies have lots of good things going on!!!

DH & I have taken care of all of the Mother's day cards already.... and all of the May b-day's as well, except for our little guy, Hunter.  We will be landing in California, the day of his b-day, so, that will prove interesting.  Grandma is going to be making him a cake. 

We, of course will be exhausted from traveling all night.  We live an hour from the airport.... plus the 2 hours or so that they want you there early.  Our flight takes off at 2:30am, and we land in California a little after 9:00am.... then DH's parents live a 2 hour drive from the airport...... I am exhausted just thinking of this.  But, I am hoping that DH's dad is still in good health, and we should have a GREAT visit for the week we are there.

Sounds like my sister & I will be taking my mom out to lunch on Mother's day. **Ya, my sis called, and mom cancelled lunch on us**
Not sure what DH & Hunter have planned.  Today, is my husband's last day at work... he has a week's vacation planned, starting after he get's off of work today (well, technically, his vacation does not start until Sunday.... Fri & Sat are his days off, this work week).
Anyways, next weekend, he is going to have another yard sale fri/sat, and his aunt will be bringing items to sell, as well.  So, next Friday, I will be working & they will be at the house, selling off all of their precious goods!!!
Thank goodness DH has all week off, cause he REALLY needs to go through & organize all of his goodies, and decide what "man-stuff" he wants to part with.

Morning!!   We had a great day yesterday.   It was so nice to get away with no kids...big or little.   We left here at about 8am and didn't get home til about 6pm.   The game was fun even though driving and parking in downtown Minneapolis was a real pain in the behind.   We actually had 4 hrs of time in the car to talk to each other.   Talked about our anniversary coming up and what we would like to do.  DH finally said he wants to plan something and not tell me what it is.   Just said it'll be a short day trip that Sat.   Sounds good to me....less work for me to do.    Once we got home I made a trip to Michaels to get stuff for my niece's wedding cake.   I can't believe she's letting me do this LOL.   Found some fun stuff to decorate it with.  Looked at stuff for my son's grad party too.   He graduates from high school June 2nd and we're having an open house June 13th.  Lots going on between now and the 4th of July.  

Tonight  I'm going to try to get to the Y for a bit...then go to church.   DH thinks he may have to work OT tonight.   We have Sadie's dance recital Saturday so tomorrow night and all day Sat is going to be busy with that.    We have to be there for rehearsal at 9am on Sat....then will have enough time to go home to get her hair done and be back by 3:30 for the performance at 4.   I have to stay at the rehearsal with her the whole time too.   She's smack dab in the middle of the line up and then comes on again at the end for the final number.   We got her pictures yesterday.   They turned out so cute.....need to figure out how to get one scanned to put on here...I don't have a scanner. 

Glad to hear all is well with you all.   Have a great day!

Morning ladies!  How are you today?  Good here.  Enjoyed some me time window shopping last night then headed home for dinner.  After dinner I took a 1.5 - 2 mile bike ride which was enjoyable.  Then relaxed a bit & hit the bed.  Not sure about my plans for tonight.  Need to do some Mother's day shopping so that will probably take first on the importance level.  Of course I have no real ideas so that stinks for me.  Gotta take the girlies out too so they can get something for their mom.  Hope you all have a great day!!

Happy Cinco-de-mayo!!!

Yes, every day back at work has been getting better & better (Spring & summer always help too).
Pain-wise, not as much.  Glad I came back in the middle of the week, as opposed as having to come back & work 5 days straight.... I honestly think that is horrible to have to do, either with an injury or coming back to work from maternity leave!!!!

Have a good evening

We are half way there!!!!!  So I had meetings out of the office yesterday , did a bit of work from home and then just got busy with kid stuff etc.  No big plans for tonight.  Hubby might try to go fishing with the son for a few hours so I might do a bit of shopping for myself.  Not sure how all that would work out for dinner, might be a grab something simple night.  Hoping to hit the neighborghood for a walk or bike ride.  The weight I want to lose is not going to come off by itself.

Jaime, so glad you are back at work & getting through all the catch up.  Sounds like you all have some fun stuff going on too.

Michelle, I hope you feel better today and enjoyed the day with your hubby.

Topic: Tired Tuesday
Uggghhhh I just can't shake this cough!   I was awake again a lot last night coughing.   I'm exhausted today.  It's going to be a long day of work.   Thankfully I'm off tomorrow.   We're heading out for a day to ourselves..just DH and I .  We're going to the MN Twins baseball game.   I'm excited to be getting away with no kids.   His sister is taking Sadie for the day.  I can at least sleep in til 6:30 or so tomorrow...hey that's 2 hrs later than today LOL.   I must be getting old when I think 6:30 is sleeping in.    I remember when I thought I'd die if I had to get up that early.   Today is work and Sadie has school.   Nothing else going on.   We had an ok evening last night...went to the Y to work out then ran to Walmart and went to bed.    I'm reading The Last Song and was hoping to get done with it soon so then I can go check out the movie.   Not looking very promising as this weekend is full and no time for a movie.  Sadie has her dance recital on Sat which will be an all day event between rehearsal and the actual recital.   Sunday is mother's day so we'll be busy visiting grandmas etc...    Next weekend is my niece's wedding but I only work 2 days maybe 3 next week.   So looking forward to that. 

Sorry I missed yesterday guys but have just been really really busy.   Glad to see everyone is plugging along and doing well.

Court, glad to read all of the good news going on in your family!!!  (except for your poor aunt, my prayers are with you, for her)

I returned back to work last Thursday, and I have just been plyaing "try to figure out what has been going on back here for the last 3 months, off & on"  Definately interesting.

We all had a GREAT Easter holiday, and now we are gearing up for summer.  This coming weekend is Mother's day (already!!!) and the following weekend, my husband & his aunt are having a yard sale at our house fri & sat.  Then, the night of the 21st, we are getting on a plane to fly out to California, to see DH's parents.  His dad is still going on with his cancer treatments.  And the plan is for him to have a bone marrow transplant.  It is a newer treatment that he is going to be doing, kind of hard to explain, but, basically..... they will be taking out his bone marrow, and treating his bone marrow 3-4 times, then, they will be "putting it back" into him.  Strange, I know, but, this is the current plan of treatment for him. 


Glad to be back to work!!! ~~~~~~~  No shoulder muscle tear, just tendonitis!!!
