Topic: Finally Friday - TGIF
Managed to hit the bed a little bit early again last night so I am feeling a bit better.  I am glad it is Friday and hoping that since the office should be pretty quiet I can get a few things done that I haven't been able to get to.  Today is the oldest's bday,  she is having a bunch of girl friends over for a sleepover tonight, the youngest has soccer training int he a.m., then we are going out for the bday dinner as a family, Sunday is over to my brothers for his gf's son's bday.  Ah another busy weekend.  Of course some or all of that could change, they are calling for 2 - 4 inches of snow.  Why can't it snow on the weekends that the girls are with their mom so we aren't trapped with them, lol.  Hope you all have a great one.

Oh Court I hope you feel back to yourself soon!!!   I know the feeling all too well and yes I agree...you should go for the girls weekend.   I'm sure it'd be great for you.  I'm starting to feel the need for even a couple of hour break myself.   It won't be happening until at least Sat though.  

Didn't do a lot last night...worked 11 hrs yesterday which was all OT....my normal day off.   I now have just 8 hrs left to go.  (besides my normal 20 today and tomorrow)   Ugghh that makes it sound worse.  I'm working 10.5 today, at least 12 tomorrow...I'm hoping to get as much as I can in tomorrow evening so I don't have much to do on Sat.   DH said he'll either take Sadie with him to a hockey game on Sat or make sure she's down for a nap before he goes so I can have a couple of hours to just relax.   A nap is probably what it'll be LOL.  Tonight is church and nobody signed up to do the dinner....since the pastor is gone and my hubby is the chairman that puts us in charge uggghhh.   I just can't cook with all this overtime this week.   I decided we'll pick up some pizzas, bought salad mixes in a bag, some dressings, and cookies from the bakery.   It'll have to be good enough.   Thankfully the church is reimbursing us for most of this.   I figure the salad and cookies can be our donation.  At least I won't have to cook I guess.  I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 

Hope things are going well for you, Jamie!   Keep warm!   It's very very cold here right now...can't wait for spring!

Oh my I am way overtired & grumpy.  I ended up leaving work a few hours early yesterday in order to have some time to myself as I was grumpy and had no patience.  That helped some but not much, after getting home & realizing I was snapping at everyone I put myself in time out for the evening.  I did manage to go to bed early which helped some.  Definitely need to take a break for myself.   I have been invited for a girls weekend in New York City, will be a great price, and love the friends who invited me, I think I am going to go.  I know it will be a great time for myself and I desperately need it I think.  No big plans tonight, we have the girlies so I am sure it will be busy as normal.  Hopefully I can hit the bed early again.  Have a great day!

Topic: RE: Halfway Day!
Yeah congrats on your new van Michelle!!!!!  Jaime, so glad to hear things are going a bit better.

I did not get in the bed early, was very restless, had some issues with my sugar dropping, and some mental issues.  After getting up to get something to eat to get my sugar regulated, I ended up sleeping in the guest room.  Hubby never even knew I got up or moved.  I am a bit grumpy and feeling a bit mental.  Will be taking some time today off of work after my training so I can have a bit of a mental break.  So not into this today.  No kids tonight, plan to just do dinner and work on our taxes. 

Have a great day!!!

Topic: Halfway Day!

Well it's kinda halfway day.  I'll be working Sat this week too.   I'm tired this morning and having a hard time getting moving.   Hopefully a cup of coffee will help.  I have at least 11 hours to work today...but I'll get a break in there to run Sadie to dance class.  I'll work and head right to bed tonight I'm sure.  Oh well it's only 1 week.  After buying the van yesterday I really could use that incentive bonus to put back into my savings account lol.  We are so glad to have a bigger vehicle again...our little car just wasn't working very well any more.   Other than going to get the van I didn't do much last night.  Tonight is work and bed...boy I have an exciting life!! 

Well, I hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

I feel your pain Court...no matter how much I say that I'm going to be early it just never seems to happen.   Hopefully you can get some good rest tonight.  11 hrs yesterday went fairly well...I'm at 6 hours so far today and still feeling ok.   Not sure exactly how much I'll work today...have other things going on so it'll depend on that.   I have to do at least 10 though.   Having some stress with hubby which all ties into the church leadership stuff...long story so I won't go into it.   All will be fine I am sure it's just one of those things.   We believe we found a new vehicle.....we really need something bigger.   We have a 04 Kia Optima right now.   With 3 kids and a dog it's just not big enough....the older kids don't go with often but for family things it'd be nice to be able to fit easily.   We are trying out a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country.   It's really nice...low miles and in excellent shape.   Had it check out last night and there seems to be nothing that he could see wrong.  It's all going to depend on how much they will give us for a trade in on our car.   We still owe a little on it and don't want to take too low for it.  If nothing else we'll keep looking.  Payments wouldn't be any more than what we're paying now and actually maybe a little less.  We thought about waiting so we'd go a while without a payment but the space is soooo needed.   Hopefully we'll know today.  The bank called and asked a few questions so I know they're working on numbers for us at least....it's all up to the dealership.  I guess if they want to sell it bad enough they'll do it. 

Other than that not much going on here.....DH has a meeting at church tonight....which he says he's resigning from leadership at.   Sadie has school but we'll see what happens with the car we may need to go back over there to do paperwork.  I need to concentrate on getting these work hours in too so I don't have to work so much on Saturday.

Well I was up way early yesterday due to taking my "boys" back home for school & I never did sneak in a nap.  Got the oldest girlie yesterday afternoon & did a bit of shoppign for a new outfit she needed, ran some regular errands & looked at bday ideas for her, decided to go out to dinner then headed home.  My intentions at that point were to go to bed.  Not, oldest & friend asked for help dying their hair.  I was up way too late, then dog woke up at 4 and wouldn't go back to sleep for some reason.  I am very tired, working on grumpy & determined to go to bed early tonight.  American Idol will be watched from the bed.  Hope you guys have a great day!

Ahhh Court, be lazy for me too!!   Today is just day 1 so it's not so bad....by Thurs I'll be ready to cry I bet LOL.   We had a great weekend...even if the Vikings lost!!   The wedding was fabulous.   Sadie was the dancing queen...dancing with all the big girls.....she had those young ladies wrapped around her finger...the bride and her two sisters in law.   They are all early to mid 20s.  A snowstorm blew through over the weekend....well what my father in law says is a snowstorm anyway lol.   He lives about a mile and a half from us up the hill.   We got all rain and he got 10 inches of snow hahahaha.   He stopped here yesterday and was just amazed that we got no snow out of it.  I won't complain...we had a little dusting this morning when I got up. 

I think we are going to go look at mini vans tonight.   Our little Kia Optima is just not big enough for the 5 of us and a dog LOL.   Even without the big kids with Sadie and the dog camping will be a tight fit in that car this summer.  Well, that's all that's going on here.   Going to go finish eating my lunch now!  Have a great day everyone!

Michelle, I apologize upfront that I am at home being lazy and you have 20 hours of overtime this week.

So we ended up with our "son" and another friend from our old neighborhood over the weekend so we were not kid free.  Really didn't do anything, was pretty lazy all weekend and I think I needed it.  Home today with the hubby, perhaps lunch out and some errands on our plans.  Getting the girlies tonight since they are out of school tomorrow and would rather be here.  Hoping the rain we have had yesterday & today clears up and things start to dry up.  At least it hasn't been cold.

Hope you all have a great day!!
