Hey girls...I am at work and it is before 8 am...YUCK!!! Got so much crap to get caught up with plus being out tommorrow...oh and did I mention yesterday my WASHING MACHINE TORE UP.........I was so freaking pissed. Will not drain the water out during the rinse and spin cycles. It had been acting up occasionally but mostly if it is was overloaded or had heavy clothes in it (blue jeans, coveralls, etc) but yesterday it collasped in the middle of a load of socks with bleach in them that I had to dip water out of the machine for 30 min...took clothes over to a friends and rewashed and brought them back to my house to dry..calling in a repair man for tommorrow afternoon late or Wed afternoon. I CAN NOT BE WITHOUT A WASHING MACHINE...I WASH CLOTHES EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!! Another expense I did not need as well...let me tell you what..eating at a hospital cafeteria is EXPENSIVE!!!! I spent over $50 in just eating alone during the 3 days (plus DH). Not to mention having to give DS cash this week because he ended up missing work to come to see her 2 of the days (I wasn't going to tell him no--they are SOOOO close).

She went to school but she is not happy with me...I did tell her I would come get her if she gets weak and tired...she said she would try to make it until lunch (11:15). I brought a pillow and blanket for her to make a pallet in my office until DS gets out at 3. I talked to a nurse friend of mine last night and she suggested making her try to go...she said she will do better to be out and with her friends, etc than laying around the house by herself all morning (and I am 30 min from home during the day which did make me uncomfortable to leave her at home). She slept really good last night and I made her eat cereal before they left the house so hopefully she will do okay for a little while...my main concern is her bookbag is so heavy but she said a friend was going to help her with it once she got there. We did make a compromise--if she feels super bad on Wed from the tests tommorrow, she can hang out at the house then and recoup.

Today was w/i ---drum roll please!!! I am at 169...I have not been in the 160's for about 5 years...I am estatic over that!!!!

BBL hopefully!
