Morning ladies!  I hope the weekend treated you well and you are out of the funkies from last week.  I know it worked for me.  Michelle, hope that baby girl arrives safe & sound.  Don't think about the age factor for being a mentor, just think about the blessing you are to that couple.

We had a fabulous weekend.  Friday night was the highschool football game.  Saturday was some relaxing and piddling around home and then off to the first soccer game of the season, home for a late dinner and some fun with the girlies, roasting marshmallows at the neighbors.  Yesterday we were up and did some more piddling around the house.  Actually got quite a few small things accomplished.  Had my sister in law & family over for dinner along with quite a few of the friends of the girlies.  Played a game of kickball after dinner and we had a blast.  Of course after clean up, etc. it was a later night than I intended.  I am a bit tired today but hoping to make up for it tonight.  Of course the girls each had a friend stay the night so trying to get 4 yeens out the door this a.m. was a disaster.  Boy will I be glad for the quiet at home tonight.  Have a wonderful day!!!!

Well, it's that dreaded Monday again!!   It's going to be a good day....I'm telling myself that so I know it will be LOL.   I have a lot going on physically and mentally today so it'll be crazy that's for sure.  I am only working 6 hrs today so I'm done with work at 11:30 or noonish.   I have a check up at the eye specialist at 2pm.   I'm pretty nervous about this...I just hope everything is fine and no more laser surgery is needed.   I never made it out to Target to get dog food etc... last night so that'll have to be done later this evening plus baby gift shopping.   

We had a great weekend.   Saturday we spent the day with my sister in law and her fiance.   The 4 of us played in a Bocce Ball tournament.   She and I had never played before so we figured ehhh we probably won't do so well.   We won 4 out of 6 games so not so bad.   It was a lot of fun though.   Yesterday we had our fall kickoff at church and a potluck.   Gotta love it when everyone cooks their specialties.  After church my husband and another young guy came back to our house with my son to watch football.   His wife and I stayed for the potluck.   This couple is 22 yrs old and look up to us as a form of a role model.   It feels strange....when did I get old enough for a young married couple to look up to me LOL.   They announced in church yesterday that they are inducing the wife to have their first baby on Thursday.   Well.....I'm thinking that just might not happen.   We sent them away at about 9pm last night to go to labor and delivery.   She for sure lost her mucous plug here last night and thought her water may have broken.   She was leaking a bit she thinks.   I'm sooo excited.  Friday's ultrasound estimated little baby girl at about 4lbs but they said she's healthy.  Mom is only about 95 lbs so is very tiny.   Soooooooo I just may have been the last one to feel that baby moving and groving in mommy's tummy before being born.   Sadie was loving touching her belly and then proceeded to pull her shirt up and show us that she has a baby in her belly.   Sooo cute!   I haven't heard yet if it indeed was her water or not.   Hopefully we'll hear today that baby Adelynn is here.   I so look forward to being a part of this baby girl's life. 

Well, I better get to work.  Hope you all have a great Monday!

Morning!   Just trying to find my way out of this funk still today.   Ahhhh at least it's Friday though.   Tomorrow we are signed up for a bocce ball tournament so hopefully it doesn't rain but it's supposed to.  We have a potluck at church on Sunday but that's it.   I'm sooo looking forward to just relaxing some.   Hubby and son cleaned up the house a bit for me yesterday so that was nice.  Gave me a bit of a break.  Looks like we're back to 10 hrs mandatory OT again soon..ugghhh    The money is nice but it gets old and my carpal tunnel doesn't do well with it.  Sadie is going to try out the "big girl" dance class next week instead of the toddler mommy and me class.   She's excited.   We'd go on Wed afternoons for 45 mins then instead of Thursdays for 30 mins.    It's only $5 difference in price too...well other than the fact that we then have to go get tap and ballet shoes. 

HOpe you all have a great weekend!

Court, well, I hope you can "plug on" through your day & that it will be a good one to ya!!

Yesterday................. SUCKED.  Emotions were a rollercoaster, to say the least.  Had 2 panic attacks.  Not fun.  And, of course, my female doc was not in & won't be in today either.  But the AWSOME nurse said that she would talk to her about it. (Ummmm, hello?  I have NEVER-EVER had a panic attack -- so, I was FREAKING and SCARED)  SO, on to POSITIVE thoughts!!!!!
My DH was great, I called him on his cell, after he was getting off of work & asked him to pick up Hunter, told him what was up & he took Hunter shopping for a few hours, so I was able to make it through my day at work & go home & chill out, and fall asleep for a bit.  I feel better today, it is a new day!!
Sarcasm here..... So, I have 2 DR appointments set up, and a "call in" to my female DR.  I have one more call to make to my psychologist, to get in to her for a visit, I feel like I need to try & sort all of this out.  Hormones or not, facing surgery or not.... I can't go on functioning like this.... if it is going to just be like riding on a roller coaster, in addition to having my period every 21 days & having that last for 9-10 days.  not good.

OK, now that I am done with my pity party..... I hope that you ladies have a good weekend!!

Morning ladies!  How are you today?  I am pretty good.  Got a bit on my mind today.  My mom was in a car accident last night, she is okay but it is still concerning.  Of course with it being 911 I have that history on my mind.  Today would be my grandmothers bday, she has been gone almost 3 years.  I miss her a lot still.  Last but certainly not least, 3 years ago today I started dating my wonderful hubby.  So with this dreary rainy day here in VA, I am a bit overwhelmed with my mental workings.  Hoping to get lost in my work and let it all go a bit.  Not too much planned for the weekend.  We do have the girlies so we have football & soccer stuff going on, of course that will be weather depending.  Our "boys" have already asked to come over.  So of course we will have a weekend full of teenagers.  It is amazing cause I absolutely love it.

Hope you all have a great one!!!

Ahhh it's one of those days.   I'm feeling down but not sure why.   Just need a break I guess.   Nothing exciting going on here.   Sadie starts back to dance class today so that's what we're up to.   Supposed to go to church but not sure I will...just feeling like lying in bed tonight.

Ya... Aunt Flo..... Heh.... SORE SUBJECT...... every 21 days, lasts for 9, DR said hysterectomy last month........ Sore subject

But, on a brighter note  Had a busy day yesterday myself, have one small project to do when I get into work, then just work the rest of the day.  Went to lunch with my mom yesterday, she was in Palmer, had to go to the courthouse & file paperwork (Sometimes being a landlord is NOT fun for her) so, it was an excellent excuse to go have mexican & visit.
I am looking foward to my gramma getting up here (she arrives tonight).  So, this next month, between the work week, and gramma & my sister's baby's arrival, shall prove BUSY, but, a GOOD BUSY!!!!
>>>>>>>>>>>Still wishing it was Friday, though!!  Danm Aunt Flo!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Court & Michelle, hope your day & evening is a good one.

I love short work weeks!!!  How are you today?  Pretty good here.  Work was crazy yesterday but I survived.  Headed home and vegged out all evening.  Aunt Flo is visiting & heavy so my energy levels are drained.  Slept good last night so hopefully that will help with today.  Got the girlies tongiht so it will just be family night at home.  Lots planned for the weekend, football game, soccer game, friends coming by.  Shold be lots of fun!

What is going on in your world?  Hope you have a great day!!!

Michelle,  here's to hoping that DH's child support can get straightened out.  And, somehow, I JUST KNOW that you have been keeping track of the medical & dental that has been paid from your & DH's money.... That paper trail is always a good thing!!!!
Sorry, you did not get your walk in last night.  Ya, kids are funny that way..... "don't want to reward them for bad behaviour"  UUUGGGHHHH  I truely understand
I hope you get your 10 hours in, so you are done with OT for your week.

My gramma (she's 86) will be here tomorrow eveningfor 4 to 6 weeks, this is her last trip up here to Alaska............ the following week, I am going to ask for Friday (maybe Thursday.. not sure about that one yet) off from work, and see if she wants to come and stay the weekend here.  Sunday the 20th, my sister goes in for her C-section & to get her tubes tied (since boy #4 was an unplanned suprise... but a BLESSING).  Then gramma will be at my sister's house after she comes home from the hospital.  So, this next 3 weeks is going to be a blur, besides work.

Have a GREAT DAY ladies!!!!

Sorry to hear you had a rough day as well!   Today will be better is what I keep telling myself.   Hey 2 lbs lost is awesome!  I haven't gained yet but am still above that dreaded 200 mark that I soooo want to be under.   Gotta keep at it I guess.
