Hello everyone,
yesterday was fairly relaxing. usually like to do stuff and go out and about on the weekend, pretty much stayed home and worked on crocheting and napping once in a while. Woke up a few hrs after I went to bed w/ cramps, but ok now, was able to get back off to sleep.
We'll see how I am today. Need to get laundry done in a bit. we'll then see how I am for the games this afternoon. Still not quite there w/ the water yet, but was drinking gingerale so was getting fluids in. Did get strider time in as well.

Jen- whoo hoo about hubby saying to take your time!! hope you have another relaxing day today
Cheryl- great job w/ the bike a thon!!

take care everyone and have a great day
Lizzy

Good Morning Ladies.

I did not have a good nights sleep at all. I think it was the chicken with hot sauce that I ate......I was up 2 different times and even now I am up earlier than I wanted to be...but Kevin woke me up

One of Jess' friends slept over last night too, so we are tip toeing around here since they are camped in the living room. I don't know why they do that when there are bunkbeds in the girls room.

Not much on tap for today. The other part of the tribe will be over at about 1. I am going to make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.
I also will try to get some time in on the elliptical later.

Something else I have decided is that while I am off, I am going to change my meetings to the Tuesday morning meeting. I might even start going to the one my mom goes to. I think it would be fun to go to a meeting with her.
Yeah I had offered to stop going to meetings since I am not working and Kevin told me no, that I should keep going.

Lizzy........I hope you got back to sleep and it was a good one. Feel better today.

Morning ladies! I didn't want to get up yet but a mild sneeze attack said otherwise lol! So I'm up but yawning my head off. I have moments when I think yawning and sneezing should be considered exercise!

Lizzy I must say that you seem much better this morning. It's almost like I can read it in your text haha!
Jen- Glad you get to take your time finding a job. You'll find something you enjoy before you know it!


Today I have to get my family reunion address list ready. It's in May and people are starting to email me. My Aunt Evelyn and Aunt Mary were always in charge of the event but over the last few years some how they were leading me into taking it over. They both passed away toward the end of 07 and so now it seems the torched has been passed. So I've got to work hard and create something that will keep the family coming back.

Ok I'm going to get my water!

Y>>>A>>>W>>>>N>>>>..another horrible night @ sleeping...ugggggg!!! Felt much better by mid-afternoon yesterday and DH was able to finally eat around 5ish and hold it..we went to show and worked our butts off so we were totally exhausted when we got back home. Then the storms started coming (the same ones that ripped thru Atlanta )..we kept losing lights, winds were horrid, lightening, thunder, rain..thank goodness we somehow missed the hail that hit on both sides of us within 5 miles and several tornadoes touched down and did massive damage all around us like in a crazy circle but staying within 13 miles from us...whew!!! Local channels were not even carrying regular programs...as soon as one warning was up, we were getting another one..this went on for 5 hours ..finally around midnight it calmed and I fell asleep. We don't have any damage that we can see so far this morning other than debris and limbs down. Talked to Charity yesterday after Fri night's night of horror in Atlanta but they were safe and sound..missed them as well..just lots of trash, wind, hail, etc. Around 4 yesterday, she texted me at the show and they were getting hammered again but they were okay.

Food was strange yesterday...ate my breakfast before we went and ate 1 hot dog while I was there...we stopped on the way at a produce stand and bought some fruit and I munched on grapes for the most part. By 4:30, I was starving so opted for the hot dog over anything else they were selling. At least it wasn't fried I also got lots of walking, stooping and carrying in..I worked the concession stand for several hours but we were short-handed all the way around, so I opted to come out and work the arena for the last half of the day..I hate doing that--feel like such a spectacle walking back and forth across the ring, etc in front of the entire crowd but at least it was walking and not eating or temptation to eat!!!

Not sure what is on tap for today..I have laundry going..I think the boys are going fishing maybe and DD has been invited to a b/d party @ 1. Hmmmmm..decisions, decisions!

Gotta scoot and get breakfast on the table for the fisherman. BBL

Hello everyone,
back again. Still not a 100% more like 70%, but @ least got some sleep last night. ex's cousin's team going into the finals today. We'll see how I last,maybe just for the coaches vs allstars.

Jen- bummer about the sleep. cool about going to the same meetings as mom.
April- yipes about being passed the torch. hope the planning goes well.
Terry- glad everyone is ok,sounded like mucho crazy weather. glad everyone is feeling better. sounds like you did get a lot of exercise in.

alrighty need to get some exercise in myself. will prob bring diet gingerale instead of water to the games.

take care everyone
Lizzy

Well I am up and not really wanting to be. Man last night around 9 I got so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open, that bike ride really wiped me out. But I'm thinking about going riding again today with the boys, hopefully the wind won't be to bad. I need to go bra shopping but I don't know! That would mean driving to Midland and then I would end up spending more money than I need to. I desperately need to go get measured and get the right fit! We will see.

Lizzy: feel better, have a good day!
Jen: I bet it would do you and your mom goo to go together. I know my sister did better when she was here and she went with me. Have a great day, maybe you can sneak in a nap later. LOL!!! Ha ha, that's funny!
Terry: glad your DH is feeling better and you too, there is nothing worse than a sick hubby I don't think. LOL!! Good job yesterday! Have a great restful day.
April: don't you just love it when you get things (i.e. family reunion labels & such) passed on to you. I know you'll do great. Have a great Sunday!

Gotta go boys are requiring chocolate milk! BBL!!

Got my breakfast finished and working on website for the club (downloading pics, etc)..didn't realize when I took the job (volunteer ) it was sooooo time consuming ..they are wanting pics posted after each show and it only downloads 1 stupid pic at a freaking time..I only have 30 from yesterday to try to get downloaded..may do a few this morning and work on it along and along this week at night.

Still waiting on the fishermen to LEAVE!! What the heck??? They were supposed to have left at daybreak...I am thinking they have a huge case of the lazies today I was really, really looking forward to having them gone so I could get some housework done..DS had a buddy here Fri night and yesterday and we were gone from 11 - 6 so you girls can ONLY image what I came home too

Jen..So Kevin made it back in...good deal! I am so tickled on the "don't work until the kids go back in the fall"...how cool is that!!
Cheryl..morning girlie!!! Tell your dad, DS is toying with going to the AKC World in Tenn this summer..ended up being in June instead of what we were intially told (the same as DD being out in Jackson). I'll keep you updated.
Lizzy..sorry you are still feeling under the weather.
April..didn't know that about bobtails..interesting!!!!

Alrighty..off to download some more pics..

Well I got the only thing that I needed to do completely done.....grocery shopping. LOL The thrill of my day. But I can't even bring in the bags yet because I have campers in the living room still. Once they start moving around, then I will get to it and enlist them all for help. hehehe

Cheryl......I bet all that fresh air is what helped in being tired. LOL at the chocolate milk...Garrett tells me I am the magic stirrer of it.

April.....have fun organizing all of that! It should be fun though.

Terry.....holy crap!!! I would not be sleeping. What a great job you did yesterday!!!

Lizzy......glad you are starting to feel better!

Terry.....it is cool that I can do that with working. We will see how it all goes though. I am not used to not working. My dad owned a deli when I was young, so I have been working since I was old enough to hold a broom. Even when I moved to PA from NY, I had a job ahead of time and started working 2 days after the move. The longest time I have ever had off from work was with each pregnancy....and that wasn't leisure time. LOL

Morning friends,

Finally home again. This travel thing is really wearing me out...ugh. It's a wonder I'm not sick. It was 100 degrees in McAllen when I left on Friday and we have snow here this morning. Sigh...

So, miss a week, miss alot around here.

Jen - are you a stay at home mommy for awhile? Congratulations kiddo! That's fantastic. I better read some of the threads from last week and catch up.
Terry - glad you guys weren't hit. I heard it was ugly out there.
Lizzy - hope you feel better!
April - reunions....that's a job hang in there!
Cheryl - morning!

Ok, I've fed the dogs, cats, and horses...now I need to go get some java and food for me

Have a great day guys!
