Good chilly Tuesday morning!  How are you today?  How was your Monday?  Anything big planned for your Tuesday?

Monday was a blah day for me.  I got up early and stopped at the gym at work to walk on the treadmill.  After that I went and did the billing and unfortunately ran into some nast people first thing and it really ruined my morning and I carried it with me thru much of the day.  Work at the day job was great and I had a lot of great interactions.  The evening round of billing went pretty good and I was home by 7.  Steve and I met Kara at my moms and we had dinner and convos until almost 9.  It was a lot of fun and good times!  After that, Steve finished tying up the returns and I finished the paperwork and computer work and we were all in bed by 10.  kara has exams this week so we wanted her to be rested well.  She was out by 9:30.

Nothing special on today's books.  For me it is work till 5 then Kara has a dr. appt. at 5:30.  I have some laundry to do and want to cook dinner.  I hope for some relaxing time and early to bed!

Have a faboulous day! 


Still wishing it would SNOW!!!!!  Disappointed it didn't, but NOT surprised.

Good morning, beautiful!  LOL...I just saw that!  It all depends on how tired I am.  I try and walk in the mornings but sometimes go back to bed before getting ready for work!  I ususally try to pop on between 7 and 8:30 at the latest...but as you know with kids and life in general...things happen.  Hope you have a fabulous day!

Good Morning, Sunshine....

My goodness....you sure do do a lot.  There is NO WAY I would be willing (let alone have the energy) to work all of the hours that you do each day.  I tip my hat off to ya!

So...yesterday was a killer.  Work was quiet, but my workout a tthe gym....OMG!  Did my 3 miles and then met with Beast-Master.  She KILLED me - haha.  LOTS of lunges.  But, she gave me some good ideas that I can do without her, which is good because I only have 1 more session with her.  She's too pricey to keep.  But, the gym offers a much more reasonable plan that involves a small group working with a personal trainer 3 days a week.  I'm really considering that, even though I know what to do - the motivation/challenge is great, plus, they check my form (which they constantly tell me is great) and come up with new ideas.  I was SO tired when I got home that I went through the motions of eating dinner and went and laid in bed for the night.  But, it was all good!

Let's see....what's on the schedule for today in my world?  I have a dentist appt here in an hour, and then a kinda busy day here in the office.

Then, home for the night (after swinging by the store for yogurt supplies), cooking chicken w/ goat cheese, quinoa and spinach for dinner; get my yogurt going and then 40 minutes of yoga.

Planning to settle down with a magazine and the Biggest Loser by 800pm.

I do need to make an appt with a Sport's doc.  My hip is bothering me because of running.  Can't tell if it's in the joint or the hip flexor muscle.  I just know that it's KILLING me!  Oh well......

Uneventful day ahead - thank goodness!

Have a GREAT day!!!!

Good morning, beautiful! 

Honestly...if I don't keep busy then I feel unaccomplished.  I am so used to it that it is normal for me now.  Sometimes I get bored on the weekends if we don't do anything.  Steve really hates those days because I invent things for us to do...like move furniture or steam clean the carpets! 

Sounds like you had a fabulous day at the gym!  I can't wait to get back to the trainers.  Anthem keeps three on staff full time for us at no charge and we also have classes we can take that cost about $40.00 per set session.  We also have the wonderful gym open 24/7 for our use.  The only thing I do not like about it is that I can not bring anybody with me unless they are Anthem employees.  It would be nice to take a friend or Steve.  My lamaze coach has us doing squats and lunges and it really makes a difference.  My back actually feels better!

Have a great night shopping and good lick at the dentist.  Cooking sounds fun...I will be doing some of that tonight, too!

Lets see.  Yesterday, I did all the things on my list and it felt good to accomplish them to get ready for my surgery on Thursday but at bedtime the "scared factor" crept in and I started to cry. 

I couldn't help but try to think about how to spend the next two days and worry that there is a risk of not being here for my children.  At the same time, I have to be strong for them so they are not scared.  I am trying my best to make this as easy for them as I can but I am really scared.  As I am typing, the tears are just rolling down my cheeks.  I am way too emotional today.

I still know that this is the right thing for me.

Congrats on getting the list accomplished!  I know it is a weight off of your shoulders.

As for the emotional factor...pray on it, sweetie!  I think we all have those, too.  I went into it knowing that I had prayed and believed that God would see me thru for my daughters sake.  I knew I needed this surgery to be there for her and to have an active part in her life.  You know where to find me if you need me...I am always here for you!  Be strong and keep your faith!

Sharon - i remember feeling pretty freaked out about surgery as well.  But i tell you, i prayed and prayed about it, and the day of surgery i woke up READY for it.  it was God's plan for me to finally be healthy.  You are worth it girlfriend.  Please feel free to PM me if you need to "talk".  I'll keep you in my prayers. lys

SNOW!  we got it, people are so scared of snow, personally I LOVE IT!  finally, i can use my 4x4!  on the books for me, went to the doctors (i have a sinus and/or bronchitis), got a z-pak and some good cough syrup so i can sleep!  Actually don't feel to bad, just congested.  Have 2 other teens over working on the national history project with my daughter, GOD help me, i want this project to be done!!!! its been 4 months already...FINISH IT already.  they are just not as motivated as my litlte over-achiever! LOL  Everyone stay safe, warm and healthy.  lys

OK...I am coming for a visit...I'll be there right after work and will be staying until the snow is gone!  I am so envious! I want snow so badly I can taste it!  Sorry you are sick but glad you got the meds.  They will help a bunch.  I sure wish my daughter got 4 months for a project at school!  Of course she would find a way to wait until the last minute but I would push her to do it early.  Prayers for your day...hope all falls into place and the other girls pick up what they are supposed to be doing!  Glad to see you made it back from NC safely.  Hope you had a fabulous visit and I am really glad we got to meet.  You are more beautiful in person!
