Topic: Happy St Patrick's Day!
Anybody have any plans to celebrate today?   No plans here.   It's supposed to be a beautiful day again today and then go all downhill from here.   We're talking we'll be lucky to hit 30 for a high this weekend.   That's not too horrible for March but after it being 50-60 for the last little bit it'll be a shock.  I'm thinking I'll work a pretty short day today and enjoy the weather and work on Sat when it's cold and nasty out.  Someone also told me last night that they have coupons at the public library to get free admission to places like the aquarium and zoo.   Sadie and I will go check it out and see what we can find.   Can't hurt to see what they have anyway.   Sadie has dance class this afternoon too.  Hopefully she and I can take the dog for a walk this evening and play at the park again.  If her big brother is home I might get away with a bike ride even. 

Yesterday was a pretty dull and boring day here.   Worked all day...cooked burgers on the grill for supper and then took Sadie to school.   Although I did stay up late....10pm for me is late LOL.  I'm getting old!    I don'****ch much tv but I've watched the new show Parenthood and am really enjoying it.  Sadie cuddled up in bed with me and fell asleep while I watched it. 

Hope you all enjoy your St Patty's day!!

What is this above zero stuff?????

Saturday night, we had 4 below.  Yup, below.

I got a call friday night from my boss, and accounting was in need of some help, so, today, I am back at work!!!  YAY!!!!  Granted, it is not in my area, butm heck, it is work!!!!!

Still have the 10 pound lifting restriction, started physical therapy, and will be going back tot he doc April 7.  So, we will see how physical therapy goes & what the doc says.
Yes, I am still sore & I hurt.  can't take anti-inflammatories thanks to my RNY, so I just have to "tough it out" which SUCKS **** but I will live.

LOL nope didn't drown in them because I never even touched them LOL.  Weather is supposed to be cold and snowy this weekend so maybe then.   My sister called on Friday and said they decided to come up for an impromptu visit for the weekend.   They were getting a hotel room.   We decided to get one with them for Sat night as well.   We spent time swimming Saturday evening with them.   Sunday we did a bit of shopping after breakfast then realized it was 55 degrees so we headed down to the lake and Canal Park area.   We were out there for 3 hours.   What a beautiful day.   After that we went to the omnimax to see the Dinosaurs movie.   We had dinner together and headed our seperate ways.   We came home to head to bed early and they went off to visit other friends and stay one more night at the hotel.  It was a great weekend.   I really needed me some "sister" time.  Yesterday my sister who is next in line to me said she and her hubby are probably coming up this coming weekend.   They do have other plans though so we might meet up for a bit with them but probably not a lot so hopefully my house will not be neglected again.   It's about 50 degrees again today.   I have 2 hrs left of work then it's off to the eye dr appt and hopefully some time to enjoy the outdoors tonight.   I'm hoping and praying that I won't have any issues with my eyes again.   Not in the mood for any lasers today LOL. 

Wow flowers blooming already, Court!   I'm sure we still have some snowfalls to come here.   Sounds like you had a nice weekend as well.  Hope your Monday got better!

Okay so I didn't hear my alarm this a.m. and overslept so it was rush rush rush.  What a start to the week.  Had a nice weekend though.  Had a bit of down time & enjoyed some time with hubby, enjoyed some stuff with the girlies, got the hot tub, now we just have to get it placed & set up.  I am kinda excited about it.  Got some flowers blooming in the yard, really need to do some weeding though, all the rain we had this weekend has helped it all grow.

No plans for tonight so it will probably be a relatively quiet night.  Hope to get in a good walk withthe dog but that will depend on the rain. 

Michelle, did you drown in the toys?  lol.


Have a great day!!

We don't have much planned either.  DH is working all day tomorrow...so Sadie and I will go to a movie in the morning and then home to clean her room.   If I don't post on Monday send out a search party I may be lost in that sea of toys!!

I'm jealous, Court, Hotub!!  

Have a good weekend.

Oh yeah a funny for you all.    I think Sadie told me in a nice way that I'm fat...thankfully she doesn't understand what she's saying LOL.   Last night I had been gone for a bit to the store.   I was sitting down and she came over to hug me....hugged me around my middle.   She looked up and said, "mommy is that your snowman belly?".   I said, "why do you think that's my snowman belly?"   She said "because it's round!"
Too funny!!

Happy Firday!  So what is on the books for the weekend?  Not too much planned here.  A bit of running around with the girlies of course, the b-i-l is coming home for the weekend, perhaps a movie night, and on Sunday we are going up a hot tub that my parents are giving us.  We are pretty excited about that.  Hoping to have some down time, need to do some more spring cleaning/organizing at home.  Well I best get to earning my paycheck, lol.  Have a great weekend!!

Topic: RE: Totally Thursday!

Thank You for the well wishes, ladies!!!  Much appreciated!!!!

My boss called last night & basically said that since I had a weight restriction, I could not come back to work for the time being.  That sucks!!!!  I have the lady from the other (Safety) department looking & checking to see if any other department could use an extra hand filing, or something.
I did call my co-worker this morning & give him an update, I told him that I was released to come back to work, but I had a weight lifting restriction, and I told him what my boss said last night (basically that I was worthless to work my current position).  He was like well, we need you, and I said, I know.... I also said it would be nice to relieve the lady that has been covering for me, since she works full time in another position in the company.
Gotta love job politics


Have a GREAT day, ladies!!!!

Michelle, so glad you got your date with hubby and some relax time, and only a little bit of OT left.

Jaime, great to hear from you, sorry to hear about your shoulder.  Hope it heals quickly and you are able to go back to normal.

Well our dog is loving the good weather, he is outside for the most part from the time we get home til we go to bed.  I believe we will try to make him a more outside dog during the day so that we don't have to cage him.  We are going to start working on it this weekend.  We took a nice brisk walk last night, that was nice for us.  Nothing really planned tonight other than much of the same.  Gotta take advantage of the rest while I have the chance, getting ready to get into our busy season with soccer and family activities.

Well I hope you guys have a great day!

Well, I'm hoping my relaxing day yesterday will help me get through these next 2 days easier.   We had a great afternoon away.   We left home with intentions of going to see Alice in Wonderland in 3d.  We got there got our tickets and were watching the movie.   We both wondered why half the screen was yellowish...like a line right down the middle with one side normal and the other yellow.   Hmmmm strange effect they chose for the film.  Even took off the 3d glasses to see if that was it.   Of course neither of us said a word to the other.   Well, we got through about 1/2 hr and they came in saying there was a problem with the projector...ahhhh that explains it LOL.   We could either stay and watch it that way or get passes to come back another time.   We decided to stay since it's not real easy to get a sitter to go out.   Well about 5 mins later they came in and apologized saying they had to shut it off.   Major bummer!!!   We trudged to the ticket office to get our passes to come back.   We got 3 passes to come back..bonus extra pass can't beat that.   Then the lady said if there's another movie playing now or soon that you'd like to see feel free to stay for that.   Cool!!   So we stayed and watched Shutter Island.  It was pretty good weird but good.   We enjoyed our time out anyway.   I went home, took Sadie to dance, made dinner, then took DH to his pool league.   For the evening Sadie and I just relaxed at home and went to bed. 

Tonight is church night.   It's been a few weeks since we've been able to go on a Thursday night.  Sadie will be happy.   Tomorrow we have no plans.   Saturday DH has to work....Sadie and I are going to go see Planet 51.  It's the cheap family movie on Sat morning for $3 each and a bag of popcorn included.   Other than church on Sun we really have nothing else planned.   Finally a weekend that's not jam packed. 

Jamie, glad to see you here.   We missed you!   I hope your shoulder continues to heal.   What a frustrating time I'm sure.   How's Hunter doing?   Getting spring fever?   I know we sure are.

Topic: RE: Wacky Wednesday
Finally!!!!  I was released to go back to work today, I injured my shoulder a month ago.  and only took a couple days off, and then on the 26th, I was taken off of work to rest my shoulder.  But, unfortunately, I was given a weight restriction of 10 pounds.  I also have to go to physical therapy.  My job description says that I need to be able to lift 40 pounds, and be able to push/pull up to 75 pounds.  So, basically, I am screwed.



I am doing fine, but, frustrated.  I will survive.
