Monday WLS express

I read it in one day, in one sitting.  That says a lot since I'm usually so hyper I can't sit still for 10 minutes! lol  Enjoy!

Hey everyone!  I'm back.  We went to New Orleans for a couple of days.  My "boss" talked me into leaving my stuff down there.  He says the job may open up again soon, and he wants me to put in for it again.  Only this time it won't be a city level job, but a district level job.  Oh well, same ole' same ole!

I'm so not looking forward to going back to work after two weeks off.  It was great to sleep in and not have to go anywhere I didn't want to.  New Orleans was great.  We went on a haunted French Quarter tour, a River Boat tour that took us to Mardi Gras World.  That was great.  You get to see the floats they make for Mardi Gras up close and they are really neat!  Therese fell in love with the place and wants to work there!!  The hotel we stayed in sucked but that the breaks.  It was downtown on Canal street and they had permanant residents there, but we lived through it, so... I guess it wasn't all that bad.  We went to Harrah's and gambled a little, Won some lost some.

And the garden is doing ok!  The broccoli went to flower so I had to cut the head off.  I may not get another head but I'm going to leave it in the garden to try.  Had some cabbage worms eating the leaves like there was no tomorrow, but got some insecticidal soap and was picking them off.  I think I got them but I'll find out more tonight.   Everything else is growing like crazy!

We got rid of the wood from the tree that fell into our yard, FINALLY!!  Therese put it on Craig's list and within a half hour, two hits!  They came by on Sunday and loaded it up!  The only think that is left is the GREAT BIG piece that we had difficulty cutting apart.  They said they would take it but couldn't be back for a week.  She said that if we had someone else that wanted it to go ahead and contact them, so I think Therese is going to do that.  They also said they could take down the tree in the neighbors yard!  We may get our yard work done for FREE!  I like that word!

Well, better get into the shower and ... ugh... get to work.  Gotta make money to pay for this computer and the electricty that runs it!  Have a great day!

Remember your vitamins, protein first, and drink plenty of fluids!  Love ya!!

Good Morning Train!

WOOOOOHOOOO for Mondays!  Especially during a week with no classes..... LOL  I had a nice relaxing weekend in spite of the weather.... Now I'm up and at 'em and ready to see what this week brings!

Prayers are going out to all that need them!  Haven't read any updates yet, but I know there's always a need!

How about some Derek and the Dominos to get us going?  

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

Ya'll have a great day my friends!

Hey also wanted to let you know that I experimented making some of my own SLEEP salve like I was telling ya'll about.... I sent some home with my daughter to try out on my SIL who takes a sleeping pill almost every night.... if it works on him then I'll try to whip some up (gotta find some containers) and ship it out to all ya'll...... HUGS!

I'd drive to Denton for it, if it works! I'm so tired I'm willing to try anything right now!

sleep salve???? perking up and waving arms.....don't gotta ship--will come pick up---Lord knows I'll be AWAKE anyway!!!

Good morning all.  As I have requested elsewhere, please keep my son Brad in your prayers today.  He has 2 job interviews.  One looks very promising, but I am trying not to get my hopes up too high for him.   He's a good kid trying to support a family and resolve some family issues.  God bless him.

Good morning!  For a change it's me running by with my hair on fire. I'm working in the office today & tomorrow & of course I slept till 5:30 for a change!  Good thing I took my shower last night.  I just have to throw my clothes & make up on.

I'll check in from the office.  Praying hard for Mark!!  Everyone have a great day!!!

Hugs & Love,

Jeri

Good Morning My TMB Family,

Can someone tell me how Mondays get here so fast?  It seems like we are looking forward to the weekend and then we are looking forward to the weekend again!  Time goes by way to fast.  Had a good weekend.  Watched a couple of good movies..Yes Man, and I want to say it was called Nothing But The Truth..A true story.  Anyway and then last night I had choir and our first night of Childrens Choir.  I am helping out our choir director.  It was a lot of fun.  Nothing much going on for today.  Looks like I will have to dress warm for my walk this morning but I refuse to not walk.  Took the weekend off and I need to get out there today!  Mark informed me last night that it was time to start decluttering and getting ready to pack up things here and there.  I am so motivated to get to DE just not motivated to get done what needs to be done here.  After living in a house for 4 years you end up collecting a lot of CRAP!  Ok no more whineing.  Oh wait one more thing..Was in a lot of pain over the weekend with my Tummy.  Have a call into the doctor in Dallas and hope to hear from him today!  Life really is good though as much as I complain sometimes, its all minor stuff.  Prayers this morning, for Lynette and her family, Mark, Tom and Que, Liz and her insomnia, and all those unspoken.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys.  Michelle

Just a reminder, if anyone is intersted we are selling, a 2005 Honda Accord, my 2008 F-150 and Marks Motorcycle.  Email me if you are interested.

Good morning, TMB!

I had a most productive weekend - did some little stuff like putting drawer pulls and cabinet knobs on all the kitchen cabinets; filled the hole under gate that my brat dog keeps diggin under.  If she can dig thru the concrete blocks, cement and sand I filled it with then more power to her!!!

Not much else going on here just trying to wrap up all the little details to get the house back together......just in time for hurricane season 2009 to start June 1!!

No time for individual shout outs - prayers and hugs for all my TMB peeps - don't forget your VITAMINS - PROTEIN first - then COMPLEX CARBS - EXERCISE - WATER......everyday!!!
