Good morning,

Slept really well last night for a change. Woke up charged for a new week and our new challenge. Jim and I went to run errands yesterday and he wanted Taco Bell for lunch, so we stopped. They have that new Fresco menu, so I ate off of that, but when I got home and computed my points for the soft taco and bean burrito and some bites of his nachos supreme (figured 1/2 an order, but really didn't eat that much), well, let's just say there is a reason we journal! Yikes! so that threw me off for yesterday. I had soup for dinner to try and offset, but today is another day! Jen, what's that quote about planning ahead and failing to plan?

I've gotta scoot! I'm the only vet in this week so it will be crazy. Planning for the exercise tonight when I get home.

Lizzy - hope the carpet went well and that you're back in your bare feet
Jen - saw your note about the car. I love my Toyota 4Runner, but it's not the most gas efficient. I think a bigger SUV with all those kids though would probably be handy.

Have a great day everyone!

It just so happens I do know that phrase Lori......
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!

I am sooooooooooooooooooo tired this morning. I could not fall asleep for anything last night. It is probably because i am sooooo sore from racquetball and the wii the past couple of days.

So of course Kevin is leaving this afternoon and bad weather is coming this evening. LOL It figures. Everytime he leaves, the yuck weather comes. I am hoping that the carpet guys are pretty much done by the time he has to leave because I will have to come home for whatver they haven't finished. I can't wait to see it.
Also on tap for today is Scout is getting fixed, so I have to drop him off between 7 & 7:30 then when I go back up there to get him, Sasha has an appointment...and I have WI tonight.

Oh well....I have to down this coffee and start getting ready.

BBL.

Lori.........I have been looking at 3 different vehicles.....GMC Acadia, GMC Yukon and the Mercury Mountaineer. My mom just bought a mountaineer and man is that thing roomy!!!!! AND it is the same thing as the Ford Expedition, but alot less expensive.

Hello everyone,
quickie for me @ the moment. lots of unpacking still to do, packing was easier just throwing things in bags, but now gotta remember where I put stuff to begin w/. I'm in my bare feet for the moment. Oh joy.

Lori- glad you slept well. That 2nd mortage is off your mind.
Jen- bad weather here too. lots of rain. can you say I'm afraid of a repeat!! Don't think it's going to be as much rain as last wednesday.

be back later

Lizzy

Morning Girls!
Lori isn't it amazing how sometimes we try to avoid the bad stuff and then freak out when we notice how bad it still was! I think we all do that! Don't let it bug you just as Jen says Journal it and move on!

Jen- No pain no gain! Sounds like all that wii and Racketball have been good for you! Enjoy it!
Lizzy- unpacking is always a pain in the tushy!

I'm off work today because of the little "holiday" however the kids still have schooll and Al still has to work (giggles) So I need to get some house work done today! Going to get back on track with my exercise I have been totally not getting it in the last week or so. I let myself get side tracked and it's time to stop allowing that to occur!!

Have a Great Monday Everyone!

Morning girls...slept until 7:20..woo hoo!!! and slept pretty peacefully except for 1 or 2 wake ups..had some really wild storms blow through during the night...lots of wind and rain...no thunder or lightening! The rain is all the way up under our garage to the steps...wind was CRAZY!!!! It is cooler here this morning--practically no humidity..around 60 outside but thta is about it for today. Supposed to rain most of the morning too! We need it just not all at once..LOL!!!

Feeling some better this morning...back is not hurting hardly at all..still some tenderness in bladder area..only low grade temp this morning so maybe I have kicked it in the ass...I hope so!! My nurse pract is off on Mon..so I will call tommorrow if still feeling crappy or running temp.

Oooopppsss..I hear feet pattering down hallway...we are all off today! Happy President's DAY!!! BBL>>>>

Ohhhhh I have to give you girls a laugh for the morning.
On Saturday night, since the living room was completely cleared out except for the wii and tv, we had wii tournaments going on. So Kevin was drinking a beer and it spilled.....all of a sudden it starts foaming up...not thinking, I yell at him "Honey quick suck it, suck hurry, suck it". Devan and his friend (13 both of them) are trying not to laugh but then they are laughing so hard they can't even make noise, Jess is looking at them like why are they laughing, Garrett starts laughing because the big boys are laughing. I am mortified, Kevin is laughing so hard too. Ugh!

Lizzy- How does the carpet look? Our weather is starting as rain today then changing over to snow this evening. UGH.

April- Enjoy your day off!!! Our kids were supposed to be off today, but because of the 3 snow days this month, that was cancelled. Oh the racquetball is definately good exercise, I just wish I was in better shape because I got my butt kicked severely. It also doesn't help that I am afraid to really run hard after a ball with my knees the way they are.

Terry....I am soooooooooooooooooooo jealous that you are off!!!!!!

Overslept a tad this morning, Cooper was in my bed at 3 and was restless. But the girls got to school on time, so all is good. We also had major winds last night and thunder, lightening and rain....needless to say there is NO snow left this morning.

It was so warm here yesterday, the sun ended up coming out and aside from it being windy, it was a pretty afternoon...the dog and I went for a hike in the woods before dinner.

Mike didn't come home yesterday, still doing house stuff...he is planning on coming home today as far as I know...So that's cool!

Jen - that is too funny about you and Kevin!!! LMAO...you guys need a passenger van for all the kids you have, heehee. My friend has 5 kids and that's what they have, they even come in 4 wheel drive...might be GMC that makes it, not sure.

Terry - Glad you are feeling a bit better and slept well...I second your wind!!!! I thought we were gonna blow away last night.

April - enjoy your day "alone".

Lori and Lizzy - have a good day buddies!

Off to get more coffee!

Nikki.....ugh on Cooper jumping into bed! I would love Garrett in there, if he didn't kick and move all over the place. Yeah we need something larger for us. We JUST barely all fit into Kevin's truck. I didn't hear any thunder or lightening our way last night...unless that is what is here today.
