Amy, get your bag packed already!
Doing the Hokey Pokey though does sound like more fun!
Leighanna wants to go bike riding today. Nice weather for it, but I don't know if I want to go. I still have the baby seat on the back of the bike if that gives any indication of the last time I rode it!
How was the bike ride?
The Hokey Pokey has become a daily staple in our lives. The kids really like when we put our tummies in, because someone has a really big tummy right now.
Amy- You are one busy gal. Are you sure you are due any day now? Where does your energy come from?!? I hope you manage to get some down time in there.
It's called procrastination.
We didn't make it in until after 1 a.m., and I was back here at 6:45 this morning. I'm thrilled that we have no more games this week. Andrew still didn't get to play much -- a couple of innings of each game. I'm at a loss as to how to get his confidence up. He did fine in the field but struck out both times he batted.
to you Marci as you try your best to help Andrew.
Well I just went to the Board of Education for the one job that I interviewed at. I went in to get Sub papers and while i was there, i asked about the prospects for september-----i did not get the job. The woman said that i did very well on y interview and there just werent enough positions..So im kinda bummed...Just wanted to let you guys know
I'm sorry Jen.
So far I've got 2 loads of laundry going, mowed and weed-sprayed the front lawn, and went through a bunch of cookbooks trying to plan some meals. Now I think I'll hop in the shower. I still have a kitchen floor that needs a good mopping.
Let us know if you can recommend any new recipes, please!
And I called Mo's dr in regards to her sleep study as I had not yet gotten the results. Her sleep study came back perfectly normal. Remember I said that she seemed to have a perfect night's sleep that night showing none of what normally happens when she sleeps. After much discussion we decided that we should have her tonsils and adenoids taken out anyway. She exhibits all of the symptoms of apnea. Her surgery will be done sometime in the next few weeks. Keep your fingers crossed that it will help.
Lots of
that the surgery does the trick!
We are all doing pretty well still. I haven't logged on a lot because Kyle was home all weekend (Friday-Sunday) and then I again felt like crap. I got a phone call from my doctor that should help though, it seems my anemia (which never, ever resolved during pregnancy and was significantly worse with a great deal of blood loss during the surgery) is still in full-force. Increasing my iron yet again should help in a week or so. Until then, I've just felt so out of it - especially during the days when I'm here by myself. I'm on day 4 or so of the increased dose, so hopefully I'll see results soon.
Hope that iron kicks in soon, but I also hope it doesn't cause any other side effects.
Today we went to Lexington and Concord. We took a 90 minute trolley tour that was very well done! The costumed guide did the entire spiel in first person so I felt as if I was really there with the minutemen and their families. Very enlightening.
Awesome pictures Elin. What a neat trip you all are experiencing!
Yes, bittersweet and roses. Vase is 8 inches - total height is around 22 inches.
Cut the bittersweet? Another "row" of roses above what is already here? I can't put my finger on it either...
ETA: She is going to try to "curl" the bittersweet a little to give it some more umph.
Very unique! Let us know what the curling looks like.
I have a dr.'s appointment tomorrow afternoon. They are going to run all kinds of blood tests. Since Alan's sister had a Down's Syndrome child, and my cousin has a Down's Syndrome child, they are planning on an AFP (alpha feto protein test). I'm not too concerned. They do this with all my pregnancies. It's more for preparation than anything. My doctor knows that I will not terminate should I get a positive result, but I would like time to prepare.
Lots of
Glynis!
Last Friday I felt like I had a bladder infection starting, but I thought I could take care of it myself. Today I am really paying for that. I called the Dr's office this morning & they set me up to go the hospital & give a urine sample. I check into the out patient & tell them what I am there for. The paper work is filled out & I go to the lab. I give the lady at the desk my paperwork & have a seat. Within a few minutes my named is called. I go in the back & the gal puts the rubber band around my arm. I tell her I did not realize I was having blood drawn. She takes my blood & says that's it. I ask her if she needs a urine sample, she checks the paper work again & says no. So I leave & go to work. The Dr's office calls me about something(my brain is mush at the moment)& I tell them I had blood drawn. Nope this is not what they were suppose to do. Dr's office calls the hospital to see what happened. Get a call back & apparently another person with my last name was to come in for blood work, they had mixed us up
I now have my medicine & at the moment I am running a temp of 100. I popped some ibrufrofin(sp), hopefully my temp will drop soon. Sorry for the long story.
Ugh, what an ordeal! I hope you feel better ASAP, Janet!
Amy we are doing an Ariel Theme this year
Sounds like fun!
Theresa asked me to post this
job news
she did not get the job. and because of other things going on in real life that I can't post right now....it's just too tough.
I was truly hoping this wasn't why we hadn't heard from Theresa.
Theresa, please know you are in our thoughts and prayers!!!
Apparently we have some lunatic in a black Honda Prelude going around shooting at other drivers.
I guess I have missed the news the past few days, because it started Sunday. The guy has shot a total of 6 cars now. I don't think he has actually hit any people, but it's just a matter of time. Luckily DH is off the next 2 days. Some of the shootings have been in areas where he drives for work. Maybe they will catch the guy before DH's next shift.
We had a maniac like that, a couple years back, shooting people on I-71. He did end up killing someone, but thankfully, he was finally caught. There are way too many crazy people out there!
Tomorrow I am going to clean and then i am headed to the beach for the dayu/night...ill be home sometime thursday---hopefully i can get on my grandmas computer, but not sure
Hope you have fun at the beach!
Well, I guess I'm headed to bed. Terra, Mom and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Mimi's Cafe courtesy of the thank you gift card for the Disney trip I planned for Rachel's friend's family. I still have plenty left to go at least one more time with just Terra or on a girl's night. Tomorrow we have church camp so I don't have to drive to work, just meet Momboss to get the girls nearby on her way to an appt and then she'll pick them up here after we swim. Since she got holiday/regular visitations aligned I'm off Thurs and Fri since all girls will be with their dads. Yippee! I think Kristi and I are going to take the kids to the zoo and/or to see Wall-E over the next few days. Plus, now I'll have time to help Mom get ready for hosting bunco next week.
Enjoy your days off!
Happy 1st Birthday
Lucy!
This also means I have been at my job for one year, as Lucy was born on my first day at my Girl Scout job.
I just had a realization today that I am leaving Monday for my training in New York. It really snuck up on me.
Scraplifting! Happy Birthday Lucy, and Robyn, I hope you all have a great weekend away!
Happy Anniversary to you, too, Becky!
I had a not so fun day at work today. My boss told me that they are restructuring and I will be reporting to someone else. Unfortunately it is someone I don't respect too much. He's simply not that intellegent but good at kissing up and taking credit for other people's work. I'm hoping it won't mean too much change for me-I can't imagine that he'd want to change things too much but it is really hard for it to not feel like a demotion. Not that it is meant to be a demotion at all but I was reporting to a Sr VP who I had a lot of respect for and now I'm reporting to someone I trained before I went on maternity leave with Lizzy. Too bad I'm not male and a golfer. There are other changes going on with a good friend of mine that make me uncomfortable too. I've been there over 16 years and changing jobs is not something I'm interested in.
I went to bed a while ago but couldn't sleep. I guess I should try again.
I hope you managed to get some sleep. I'm sorry about the change at work, and hopefully it won't be as bad as you think it may be.
I forget what exit you are off the NJ turnpike but we are on it now. Have fun this weekend.
Our town is not that big & for something like this to happen is really scary! The police do have a suspect already, I hope he is caught soon.
