WELCOME TO THURSDAY YA'LL!!

Good am,

How are ya'll doing? Good I hope. How was your Wednesday? Mine was all right. I got numerous To Do List items completed which brings some relief for today. I am still battling the Sick Fairy a bit but things are getting better. The temps were again beautiful and it made for a nice nature day. I didn't get out in it because of feeling poorly but I did manage to get a lot done inside. I spent some time re-evaluating where I stand with my health and found some interesting points missing while others I am actually doing well on. I tried to find the energy to go walking yesterday but I just didn't have it. I was able to get some questions answered and have some appointments set to discuss that among others I'm dealing with. In the pm I was quite jam packed with 5 kids. My 2, my 2 nephews and the neighbor's son. Homework for 2 out of the 5, bath for 3 out of 5 and dinner for 4 out of the 5 and snacks for the 5th who decided he didn't want pizza?? Then he changed his mind and wanted waffles. Go figure! Got my 2 in their beds, 1 in mind, 1 watched Ghost Hunters with me and the other went home. Off to bed just around 11 but short lived. Ended up with both buggas with me during the night. You have to love disrespect for those trying to sleep while you are playing your music beyond audible recognition and making every dog bark in the neighborhood. Managed to rest though! That's the good part.

What's on the books for your Thursday? Today I am going to map out my eating and drinking along with checking out a couple tips I got on vitmains from taking to my surgeon's office yesterday. I am going to run a couple errands today as I need to pick up a few things. There is much to be done and I am starting off with a cuppa and some oatmeal to get me moving. I need to talk to get back in touch with good eating and drinking and go from there. Hopefully today I'll have taste buds back to some normalcy. I hope everyone enjoys the day as best you can!

Morning Beautiful!!!!  Sounds like another good day for you!!  Send some my way will ya.  My day was rough as usual.  Seems to be the norm for me now.  So one of my coworkers (the other secretary who has been out sick) passed away last week.  So I am now doing the job of 3 people.  There was talk of trying to hire at least one new person but after the governors announcement last week of hiring freezes it doesn't look like that is going to happen for awhile.  Once I get to work I seem to be go go go with no chance to really breathe sometimes.  It is definitely stressful for me.  I am sure this is part of what is contributing to my weight gain cause I know I am stress eating & once I get off work it is all I can seem to do to go home & do what I need to there and I just don't have the energy to go to the gym.  I have to sit down and make a plan to get back on track.

Did have a nice evening at home.  Made a fabulous dinner, not a speck left in the bowl.  Enjoyed time with the hubby, the girlies, and a bunch of our boys.  Tonight will probably be much of the same.  Hope you have a great day!!!  Love you much!!!!

Kat- hope you feel better real soon. And Court I am so sorry to hear things are so stressful at work right now. I am praying for both of you.
Work was busy yesterday. Was kinda sick. Today I am super sick. I have been up all night and am scared to death to go to to work. I am going to leave an hour early so I have time to stop and use bathroom if I need too. UGH! It will get better.
Then tonight I have to come home and bake a cake and clean the house. My mother in law is coming to dinner tomorrow night to celebrate her birthday. I also have to stop at the store to pick up the supplies for the cake and chicken parmesan. Should be fun.
Have a great day ladies!

Good morning, beautiful.

Enjoy this beautiful weather while you can...tomorrow and Saturday seem to be a bit on the chilly side!

Yesterday was pretty good.  I had a good day at work and left on time.  Got home and visited with my neice for a bit while Kathy helped my mom with some things.  I strapped her in the stroller nd off we went for a 45 minute walk.  I really enjoyed it and I think she did, too.  She conked out as soon as we got home.  After that it was a bit of laundry and light cleaning and then I had to go and meed someone from Craigs List.  I got the diaper bag that Steve wanted.  I personally do not like it but he will need one that he likes and it was $5.00!  It is an Eddie Bauer back pack style.  I prefer a different kind for me to use.  The lady that I met also gave me two grocery bags full of maternity clothes.  I feel so blessed!  They are really nice and will work for at the office or around the house and for errands.  There were even two pair of shorts and capris for next spring...or if we get any more nice weather!  After that it was home to do one more load of laundry and watch a bit of tv with Steve.  We got to bed a bit later than expected but enjoyed the time together.

Today is my Friday at the office so I am stoked.  I am here until 5 then I have to run to southside and then out to Glen Allen and then I am done for the evening.  I plan on getting to bed at a decent time so I can ride with Steve tonight if I feel like it. 

Tomorrow is cleaning and a few errands and then I have a doctors appointment in the afternoon.  After that, nothing much is planned.  I have to work Saturday and am still hoping to make it to the Hampton Roads get together as well.

Sorry you have an unruly neighbor.  We have one of those, too.  After calling the police nonemergency number a few times (after 11 in Henrico County is in violation of the law) they have greatly curbed the rudness.  It used to be 7 nights a week...now it is once a month, which I can handle a little better. 

Sounds like you had a busy a productive day.  I am glad you got some things checked off the list and had a good evening with FIVE kids! 

I know you have a busy day today but try and take some "you" time and take a walk or something outside.  I know the fresh air will do you wonders!  Feel better !

Love you much!
