Morning!!   Court, from experience there will come a day your hubby kicks himself in the butt for giving in.   Been there done that lol.  Glad you had a good weekend.  We had a pretty good one ourselves.   Sadie finally was better on Friday.  We joined the YMCA woohoo!!   Saturday we took her to the pool and went swimming.   She loved it but was upset that the childcare area was already closed for the day.   So, Sunday we went right after church and let her play there while we got some exercise.   Felt good to be doing something again!  We're planning to go again today after work.  It's good for all of us.

I'm so excited about this week LOL.   I work 10 hrs today and 10 tomorrow and then I"m off til next Monday.   Thank God!!   No OT for me this week.  We leave for my sister's Friday morning.   I have a hair appt with my sister at 2pm on Friday.   No clue what I want done yet though.  We'll leave early in the AM and stop for lunch on our way.   We have a big bday party on Saturday for my great nephews and great nieces.   We'll do our Easter egg hunt that day as well.   On Easter after church we're going to my other sister's for dinner before we head home.  I can't wait to spend time with my family!  

Hope you all have a great Monday!

I did have a pretty good weekend.  Enjoyed prom dress shopping with the oldest, really enjoyed lunch with my stepmom & sis.  Got to spend some time with my niece who is totally in to me right now so that was a blast.  Needless to say hubby was a pushover as far as restriction was concerned and the girlies were not grounded.  I hope one day he learns his lesson.  Nothing planned tonight.  Hubby has a union meeting so I will have the evening to myself.  Sounds like a lazy evening to me.  Hope you all have a great one!

Topic: RE: Friday Frolics!!

I could tell on my way home last night that I was on the verge of hitting my limit mentally, felt like I could just sob & wasn't really sure why other than complete exhaustion.  I managed to stay to myself most of the night & hit the bed early.  Hoping that today will be better.

We have a pretty tame weekend planned.  The girlies are on restriction for behavior issues so we will be staying home for the most part.  Movie night planned as we really want to see "The Blind Side" and since it is a cold gloomy day that will work perfectly.  Soccer practices starts up tomorrow, probably going to take the oldest prom dress shopping again, and then on Sunday I am meeting my stepmom, sis & bro's girlfriend to start planning my bro's 30th bday party.  Nothing else planned though.  Hope you all have a great one.

Topic: Friday Frolics!!
Well, I tried to make the subject more upbeat today LOL.   Friday is always a better day right?   We are finally on the mend here at our house.  Sadie actually ate a few bites of food yesterday.   Grandma brought her ice cream after work even.   She was sound asleep by 8 last night and slept all night woohoo!!!  It felt great to sleep in my bed again.  We had a pretty relaxing evening.  I have 13 hrs of work to do between today and tomorrow...10 of it has to be done today and I can choose when to do the other 3.  I'll be doing at least 10.5 today.  We'll see how I feel later.   No plans here for the weekend...hoping to give Sadie some extra rest and get some housework done.   Some of us are going to my sister's next weekend for Easter so I want to get a headstart on the housework.  I am only working 2 days next week so that should help as well.

Any of you have big plans for the weekend??

Good morning, just a quick pop on, before I am out the door for work.

Michell, I hope Sadie feels better today.  And, I hope that your time flies by, so you can catch a break next week, and enjoy yourself!!!

Court, soon, you will get some 'me' time in and relax!!!!

I am well, just been busy trying to heal, and since I am healing, my chores take lots longer to accomplish, if at all.


Take Care!!!

wow if you look at our post titles this week we look pitiful.  I struggled last night too.  Hubby was a snot, was just too tired to deal with all the kids.  I desperately need a break but have no idea how or when I will be able to get one.  I am so stressed and overwhelmed.  Nothing really planned for today or tonight.  Some meetings at work & a lunch date with some of the other ladies, a night home with all the teens, ugh.  Jack Daniels take me away, lol.  I did get out for a nice bike ride last night for some time to myself so that was good.  Hope you all have a great day!!

 

Hope Saide is feeling better soon!!!

Uggghhhh I feel soooo bad for Sadie.  She's so miserably sick.   She still has not eaten a thing since Saturday.   She tried a bite of jello yesterday morning and threw up all over.   Last night she tried a little yogurt and ended up throwing that up all over her bed.   She and I slept on the couch together.   Needless to say not a lot of rest for mom.  I'm going to try to work at least part of my day today.   I ended up with 7.5 hrs yesterday only because I could work in the evening after others were home.  We'll see what happens today.   DH can't call in again so if she needs one of us it's my turn.   My daughter is around but when she's this sick she just wants mommy or daddy.  We took her in to the Dr's office because they decided they should do a chest xray yesterday.   That showed clear as well.   All we can do is push liquids and give her the tylenol and ibuprofen.  It's looking like we'll have a few more days of being tied to the house.   Grandma has called every day hoping she's feeling better so she can stop by with ice cream after work.  We haven't dared to tell Sadie that yet....don't want to get her excited.   On top of it all DH has people out sick at work so he's had to work OT again as well.   I absolutely can't wait til next week when I only work Monday and Tuesday!

Well you all have a great Thursday!

Court, I feel your pain.   Teenagers are not easy and especially girls!!!   Mine is 20 and still stressful.   You are great people to take your "son" in and help him through this.   I'm sure it will positively affect who he is in the future.   Hope you get to relax some tonight....we all need that.

Sadie is not feeling better yet.  In fact we ended up in the ER last night because she was throwing up and then wheezing and not able to catch her breath.   Everything other than an upper respiratory infection checked out ok.   Dr thinks when she threw up she aspirated some into her windpipe thus causing the wheezing.   I ended up sleeping with her most of the night so.....yeah not much sleep.    I'm going to try to work at least part of the day today.    We'll see how much I get in.   Was planning on a 12 hr day but I think some will end up being done on Sat or just not done at all.  DH took time off for 2 days now so it's my turn.   My oldest is here to help out with her but if she's too bad she just wants mommy.  So...no dance class today either.....hopefully we can relax and get better.

Hope you all have a great day!

Michelle, how is Sadie feeling today?

Jaime, any Hunter updates?

Well I am at work & ready to go for the day.  Going to court with the "son" today.  His mistake from last week has caused a lot of affects on his life and we are trying to work through.  He has been staying with us for the last week and it is highly possible he might officially move in with us.  Of course the girlies are being typical teens and we are struggling with growing pains with them.  I think I will be glad when they are all grown.  After work it will be home to spend time with the hubby.  Hoping to get a bike ride in.  I really need the chance to relax.  Well I hope you all have a great day!!!
