I agree with the time flying.   How is it possible to be almost the middle of March already!!   I'm not complaining too much though because at least the weather is a bit warmer.  Had an ok night last night.   Got done with work, made dinner, and needed some "me" time.   It's hard to get that in a house with a 3 yr old momma's girl.    I needed to run to the store so I took a drive while out and just enjoyed some music.  

3 hrs of work to go for today.   Then only 1 hr of OT left for the week.   Looking forward to that week before Easter when I have 3 days off.  

Hope you all have a great day!

Wow where is the time going?  I can't believe it is Wednesday, almost half way through March already.  Had a good evening last night.  Got home & enjoyed a cuppa decaf on my deck while the sun was setting, then settled in to work on homework with the kids while hubby fixed dinner.  After that is was AI and then bed.  Having some issues with the dog who thinks it is time to wake up, eat & play at 3 a.m.  Hopefully he will grow out of this soon.  No real plans for tonight, dinner, relaxing & walk with the dog.

Michelle, hope you enjoy your date tonight & the daughter stress disappears!!

Jaime, hope you are doing okay!

Wow wish someone would get all that cleaning done here at my house.   I just never seem to get anything other than the basics done.  I had a good day too....nothing exciting but man I feel so much better mentally.   I managed to work 12 hours yesterday so got a chunk of my overtime in.   I'm going to try to get 11-12 hrs in again today.   Tomorrow I'm only working 5-6 hrs...have a date with DH to go see Alice in Wonderland.   Auntie is coming to watch Sadie.  

We had drama here with the almost 20 yr old big time.   Actually not much of it happened here...I heard about it from her friend.   She told her that I kicked her out.   No such thing happened here....drama to get attention.   I texted at 9pm asking if she was coming back here and got no answer so I locked the doors and went to bed.  Haven't heard from her today yet either.   I tell ya if I live til this kid is 25 it'll be a miracle LOL.

Jamie.....we do miss you lots!!!!    Hope things are going well.

WooHoo!  I am up and bouncing today.  Had a fabulous day yesterday.  We really got in to spring cleaning.  Turned on some tunes, lit the candles, opened the doors and started cleaning.  Got some more pics & such hung, a good scrubbing in the bathrooms, laundry, etc.  Then we headed out to the garage and did some work there.  I pruned my rose bush a bit, we weren't sure it would survive the winter as we transplanted it in the fall but it is doing well with little sprouts starting to show.  After rearranging our yard/patio furniture some we sat out on the deck and enjoyed the sun & time together.  Of course after all that I was pooped, we had dinner took the dog for a walk then I had a bubble bath & went to bed early.  Thus the reason I am so chipper this a.m.  Hope you all are having a fabulous day/week.

Jaime, we miss you!!!

Well, feeling a bit better than last week but still dreading the 50 hrs of mandatory work this week UGGGHHHH.  Actually we were informed the OT will be mandatory all this month for sure and then they will review it.   I'm not holding my breath it's been this way for so many months I wouldn't know what it's like to only work a regular shift.   I am working some extra each day and hopefully tonight and tomorrow will be even extra in the evening so I can be off at 11 on Wed.   DH is off as well and his sister said she'd watch Sadie so we could go to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D. 

Other than having a painful issue with my ear or jaw, we had a good weekend.   Went to a clinic like an urgent care yesterday and it's not an ear infection.   She did see fluid on my ears but not infection.   I went home with instructions to take sudafed and tylenol.   She also mentioned that maybe it could be realted to TMJ.   I'm just going to wait a few more days and see how it is and go in to my own Dr if it's not better.   Fri night we went to our nephew's birthday party....crazy loud and lots of kids but it was fun.   Sat morning we took Sadie to a movie...$3 a piece and a free bag of popcorn so why not!   We saw Fantastic Mr Fox.   After that we went shopping to find her Easter dress....she picked one and can't wait to wear it now.  I went grocery shopping while she and daddy came home to play outside since it was about 55 degrees.  We sat home Sat evening and relaxed.   Sunday we had church.   After church Sadie and I had lunch together and watched my friend's daughter in her figure skating ice show.   We went to get my ear checked and picked up stuff to make homemade pizza for dinner.   Making pizza together is a favorite family time of ours.   We sat and watched This Is It and went to bed.  

Sounds like you had a great weekend Court.   Spring flowers.....oh I can dream...I'm sure we'll get hit with a couple more big snowstorms and cold.   We can't usually plant until well into May. 

Jamie, I hope all is well with you and your starting to see signs of spring as well!

Good Morning!  How are you today?  Doing well here.  Had a fabulous weekend.  Friday night hubby & I just stayed in, had dinner and played scrabble, Saturday was a lazy day until our date & then we went out to boogie, Sunday we did some yard work, I planted my spring flower bulbs (yeah my first ever flowers in my yard) then hit my mom's for a last minute bday party for one of my sisters, last night was another lazy nigh****ching the oscars.  We are both off of work today and have a bunch of house work to catchup on so it will be chores, laundry and probably some more yard work since it is a beautiful day out.  Hope you all have a great one!!

Sorry your night was so rough, Court!   Mine was so so.   I left Sadie here for a bit and went shopping with my son....well we drove in the same vehicle anyway but he was not interested in looking at little girl Easter dresses LOL.  I came home played around on the internet, took a shower, and went to bed kind of early.   Just really glad today is Friday.  We have a birthday party this evening, tomorrow is housework and grocery shopping.  Sunday will be laundry and hopefully some relaxing.  Hopefully Sun will work out that way.

Have a great weekend!

Okay I couldn't decide on an adjective to use.  Michelle I sure hope your evening went better than mine.  Needless to say I completly understand where you are coming from as far as running away, husbands, families, teens, etc.  Perhaps we should pack our bags & meet half way, hehe.  My evening was not pleasant.  After a very late dinner & AI, I put myself to bed in order to keep myself from exploding.  Planned for a few hours of leave this afternoon where I will do some retail therapy & take the dog for a nice long walk to hopefully ease my mental distress.  No plans really for this evening, tomorrow is some cleaning, decluttering & organizing at home, date with the hubby tomorrow night, Sunday will probably be a lazy day with some chores thrown in and since Monday is my Monday off at work it will probably be the same.  Hope you all have a great weekend!

Must be in the air today!   I'm more than a bit grumpy though.   Hubby issues, overtired, overworked, and a cold coming on.   Ahhhhhhhh Calgon take me away.   I've said many times over the past couple of weeks that I just wanted to run away...too bad it's not just that easy LOL.   I ended up logging on to work more last  night so there went my relaxing afternoon/evening.   But on the other hand my OT is done now.   I just have to get through today and 10 hrs tomorrow.   Of course I'm sure it'll all start over again Monday.   Made plans yesterday with my family to go there for Easter weekend....last night hubby talked to his sister and this morning tells me he doesn't want to go because his sister is having his nephew's bday party that weekend.   Well, that just set me off.   It's not like it's any old day it's Easter which is a big holiday for me.  I don't want to spend it by myself.   His family is around all the time and never chooses to spend time with us...my family is 4 hrs away and calls all the time telling us they miss us and asking when we're coming to visit.   That weekend is also the birthday celebration there for 2 of my nieces, my nephew, my great nephew, and my 2 great nieces.   ARggggggggg   just yesterday he told me we were going.   I also have an appt with my big sister to get my hair done that Friday afternoon and I really need it.  

Ok I'm done ranting...sorry guys!!

HeHe!  I am just a bit grumpy.  PMS, a cold coming on, over tiredness are not making it any better.  The kids & ex were a bit nasty last night which led to nasty hubby and thus an angry me.  Some days I just wish I could avoid my life.  We have the girlies tonight so I figure we will be having a bit of run over from yesterday, at least if I am expecting it I can try to mentally prepare myself.  Did enjoy my time with our "son", we worked on homework & watched AI together.  Other than alol that my night was blah.  Not much planned for today, a bit to do at work, some errands to run at lunch, then home for a night of family fun.  Hope you all are doing well and have a great day!
