I am Stephanie from Ohio. Live is busy with 2 high schoolers. DD just decided to play soccer again this year so the fall will be nuts again. Booth kids playing HS soccer and marching band and DD also does horse back riding.

I am woohoo the end of the school year. Finals are this week. Yesterday they were supposed to take 3 exams but each kid only had to take 2. DS got to go in early and DD got to leave early. Today neither have an exam so they got the day off. Tomorrow they each have to take 2 and then at 11 they will be out for summer. I don't normally get gifts for the kids teachers any longer but I did for DD's as well as her principle and councilor. I could not thank them enough for all the special attention they have given DD this year, especially this spring. Her principle would randomly check in on her throughout the day. He was awesome and so encouraging to her. Plus all of them have listened to me worrying bout everything. They have helped me as much as her. Each got some sort of coffee mug/travel mug with Hersey kisses, a pretzel bar and chocolate bar from a local chocolate place. DD picked each mug with extreme thought of there personalities. I hope her teachers are just as good next year.

Woohoo... it's a new Wednesday, a new month and the month of the longest days!
Woohoo... the weather turned out to be pretty nice yesterday and I got out to mow the front yard after work. Today it is overcast but expected to get up in to the 70's, so woohoo for that as well.
Woohoo... Sunday I head to the ocean for my working beach break. Mon/Tues/Weds it is forecast to not rain, so I'm expecting to be able to get in a lot of outdoors time, including pre-work beach walks in the morning.

So again in May I didn't achieve any of my goals. I'd like to credit the Mercury retro-grade for part of this, being dragged backwards over old unresolved stuff and all... but mostly it's just me. Since June is my birthday month, it is also my personal New Year, so I'm taking it as a new fresh start.

Goals for June continue to be:
- More steps, maintaining an average of 5000 per day
- Less dairy, sugar and gluten
- More consistency in taking care of myself and my home.

So I made the decision to have retirement cake and punch today at a work party. Not the healthiest, but it was certainly yummy. And it was the first party we've had in two years!! Lots of fun for everyone.

Wahoo for surprise visits from DS2. He stopped by for a bit today. It was lovely to see him.

[PAsFab5]

Thankful DS2 is healing well from his burns, he is looking better everyday. Thankful he got his truck fixed and him and his girlfriend made it home safely last night. I was grocery shopping around 9pm and he called me and my heart sank I thought he broke down again on the way home but he was calling to say they made it home So thankful things were not worse for him.

Thankful today for safe and uneventful travels for us yesterday!!

We arrived in Florida on time and settled into our rental home which is absolutely wonderful.

Thankful for time with my family and time off work this week!

 

[Oneanne]

Thankful for some sunshine and blue skies this morning, but never fear it is supposed to rain this afternoon.
Thankful for kitty cuddles.
Thankful my schedule isn't full of meetings today, and hoping it will lead to some quiet time to concentrate and get some actual work done.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Thankful for kitty cuddles.

Also thankful for kitties here - to mine for getting me out for a "walk" (which actually means they sit and watch birds and I read my book in the sun). Way better than housework!

 

[Summer2018]

I am thankful that I finished my evaluation graphs and write-up for the end of the year, and I exceeded all of my goals!

I am thankful that I have 13 more days of school.

I am thankful that DD has an opportunity for a promotion at her job.

 

[glss1/2fll]

I am thankful that I flipped the calendar and now can actually "see" my "last" day of work. July is never long enough, but DH and I are busy planning adventures before August and return to work. Thankful we can plan and execute recreational activities.
