Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Friday, August 1, 2014

154.6

All of the district mucky-mucks are at our school today and Monday for meetings, so we have to dress up on a Friday. Dangit. 

My hubby is taking today and Monday off. I say good for him. He needs to go an play and have some fun. My MIL keeps doing stuff around the house while we're not here. It's weird stuff. But, heck, at least she's getting out of bed and we know where the nearest urgent care is in case she hurts herself again. 

I'm off to a fun-filled Friday.

Good Morning!!!  Hubby is at band camp.  I'm enjoying a quiet morning with the windows open; unheard of this time of year!!!  I'm working out today with the personal trainer and getting some things done around the house that I've been putting off!!!

Tomr, we're going to visit my husband's grandma in the nursing home. It's always interesting!

Have a great day and enjoy the weekend!!!

143.8  Great day, yesterday.  Last Friday of the summer (for me, anyways)  Come Monday .....

All the way up to 115.4 today.  Maybe my glory days are over :( sheesh.  Heading out for an evening motorcycle ride with friends later.  Having difficulties with my hands, especially my thumbs, from spending so much time on the bike.  Going to try to round up some thumb splints to try under my gloves ...

We are having amazing weather here this summer.  Bonnie, you're scaring me with any talk of 'last'!  Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.  We have a long one ahead of us here :)

BTW has anyone watched The Mindy Project tv series?  I just finished binge watching the first two seasons and it  is hilarious.  Kind of a cross between Sex in the City and The Office, but the star is a slightly overweight Indian woman.  

Yah, right!  In what real  world does school start the first week in August, for pity's sake...geesh.  Two days of inservice, then some work days,,,then kiddos.   It's not the kids- love 'em to death even though they are thugs and thugg-ettes from god knows where... It's all the other b-**** that has infested the educational system...guess Im just too old school ...Let me teach, for Pete's sake--feel like a "technical facilitator"--- Poopy!!!

I love you for saving us from having to read the full word - bull**** That made me laugh out loud. It's the little things. :-)

I am having heart pains over common core. Actually, don't even get me started on it. 

Anyway, our fist day of official school is August 18th. Lots of prep work still to do. 

Oklahoma has repealed Common Core...now back to PASS.  I'm happy because the standards were developmentally inappropriate for Early Childhood. My vote would be to just keep the Pass Skills or tweak them, let me teach and stop all the testing b-**** ( Bonnie, you've started something). The testing is not about the students, it's about making money!!!  I could go on and on...but stepping of soap box!

Preach It! Sister!!!  I'll give an Amen to the "b-****!"  

Ugh....I don't even want to type it out...134.2

Been stuffing down some anxiety over finances.  Just bought a brand new car for the hubs - my first car payment in 14 years.  I hate car payments!! But I love the fact he's driving something other than his 18-year old Nissan pickup.  And we can fit all three psuedo-grandkids in the back.  

103 lbs today.  It looks like that's my new normal folks.  I can live with it.  Along with this new weight, I've also noticed that my GERD has improved a bit.  I'm only taking one ppi nowadays, instead of 2 or 3 like before.  So, that's progress in my book.

I've been asked to create a presentation for the high muckety-mucks at work next Thursday.  This is going to feel like a thesis defense because they're a tough crowd.  I'll probably be working on it all weekend.  Wish me luck everybody!

Out to dinner with friends tonight. TGIF!!
