The NIGH****CHMAN 6/14 - Monday
Thanks again to Jill for starting the NW last night.
Just a reminder, you need to TAKE YOUR VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS and make sure you get your daily allotment of PROTEIN.
If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested). Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

Need to run now to get Heather's classroom assignment and figure out ahead of time where she needs to go. It will definitely make it easier for tomorrow if she finds out today where she needs to go. Thankfully for her, the high school is right across the street from the Park and Ride that Paul uses so he will just take her to school in the morning. Tomorrow will be absolute CHAOS as the first day ALWAYS is. He has to drop her off early so he shouldn't get caught up in the drop-off traffic TOO bad!
Will check back a bit later! Keep hydrated everyone. MEGA humid out there!!!! Don't forget to check on our older parents/family/friends/neighbors when it's this hot, as well as our fur-babies!!!
Prayers are needed again and thoughts for the Oklahoma City People again. Thismorning they had major flash floods in the OKC area - I think it was sudden - something like 9 in of rain...
All of my family and friends are safe as far as I know right now...........
Had a GREAT weekend this past weekend..........I've been so stressed out for the past several weeks on numerous items - NO I'm not eating to alleviate these feelings - trying to do the opposite and working really hard on grabbing fruits to eat or nuts instead.......NO CRAP IN THE HOUSE NOR IN THE DESK - SO THAT HELPS...
As for the candy dishes saga at work.............the co-workers are helping me ther e- they see me running that the dishes get drawn away........but really - I've had NO desire for candies .....well - except for Friday night....last week........NOT GOOD.........I went for the M&M's...that is so far the only candy that really makes me sick.......good thing I went for th peanut m&ms instead of the plains...........probablyl would have been much worse !!
((((((((((huggss))))))))))))) to all.....................HAVE A GREAT EVENING !

I'm having a ridiculously boring day at the office. I've actually been working on grocery lists and other stuff that I'd normally do on my personal time. On a positive note, I'm working less hours than I have in a long time and didn't get a single work email from 5:21pm Friday until 10:10am this morning. I had a great weekend and like every weekend for the past couple months, it seemed like it lasted way longer than 2 days. So, I guess there's some good coming from my boredom.
I had an interview last week, but 10 minutes into it, both myself and the hiring manager came to the conclusion I'd be bored to tears in the position, so we thanked each other for the honesty and time and moved on. I'm keeping an eye out for openings that seem like they could be right, but I'm going to try to not stress about it and just sail through the summer.
On the house front, we have someone who is interested, but can't qualify for the mortgage and wants to lease it for a year and then try again. I'm getting annoyed with these buyer's agents that keep showing my house to people who can't afford it. Our agent has recommended that we don't lease it to anyone that can't qualify for the full mortgage upon move in so I'm trusting his expertise.
Prayers for all who need them.

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.
