Morning Everyone!
Anyhoo, I'm off to PR today!
Have a great trip Z!
Good morning friends!!
I was stuck at home all day with DD7 yesterday and today it's DD5!!! ARGHH!!!! She woke up at midnight last night with a headache and fever. The fever seems to be gone this morning (so far), but now she's got a runny nose. She's had a runny nose and a cough for months, it seems. I just want her to feel better because I'm sick of the whiny child I've got now! Considering she's had a runny nose since before her birthday (early February), I'm thinking it may be time to see the doctor for some antibiotics.
So, it looks like I'll be around most of the day as well....
We've definitely had those kinds of weeks. Hope she feels better!
I have been trying for an hour to keep an internet connection and keep getting bumped... and I am in the mood to chat and post
So if I dissappear.. other than to take a nice quiet bath
as no one is home
and the phones are forwarded to Scott's Cell phone I am here OH and a Cortisone Shot at 2:00
From my crystal ball (or looking at the next couple of pages

), it looks like you manged to hang onto the internet for at least a bit. Have a restful bath...You may have already finished by the time I'm done with this post.
K stayed in Austin last night so he could work really late and get up early. The people who were fired left a huge mess for him to organize and clean up.
He's supposed to be home early, though, today so we can work on more of our check list.
Hope K does make it back early and you can implement the de-stress plan.
Morning! My gosh, I hate to sound braggy, but I can't keep it in... it is just absolutely, positively GORGEOUS down here this week! The sun is shining, it's hitting 80 every day and the nights are still cool.
Too bad I'm stuck in the Office From Hell every day of it. T-minus 64ish hours until our budget is due and still not a word. We've moved on to rampant speculation within divisions at this point; I anticipate open discussion and rumor generation to begin within the next 24 hours.
In all honesty, the stress is finally hitting me big-time; I haven't been sleeping well and am fighting panic attacks each time I pay a bill.

The not knowing is just so nerve-wracking. The upside is I have no appetite, lol!
Hope everyone here is having a good day.
You too on the good day!

Good thoughts heading your way on the job situation, the associated stress and the panic attacks!
I understand it's a LOUD festive time... Doesn't it have something to do with Esther??
Yup. She's the heroine of the story. She and her uncle work together to thwart the plans of the villain.
Knock on wood .. we have not had that problem... but I get worried every spring Sorry David
Thanks! We're managing, but it's a battle (see below).

Morning.
I'm sick. Gah.
Oh...and my official trip countdown is in 10 days.
Everyone have a great day!
Feel better!

Only another day until the single digit dance -

!
Definitely you should! We've been going for about 10 years.
I'm pretty sure we will, but I think I want DS to hit 8 or so. I can start laying the groundwork with Jenny now...LOL
My nephew dressed up as Yoda for school. They all got a goodie bag with a crown and treats but his favourite was a water bottle filled with rice and sparkles. Makes a lot of noise!
Yeah! We like Purim a lot. It's overall a really fun holiday. We were a little upset that we have to miss last night's activities, but with DD11's hair issues we figured that quarantine was the way to go.
At least they caught it early.
Yes. It could definitely be worse. I wish it were easier to kill the little buggers.
Gotta go get SD and hit the gym. Back later ladies.

I never quite have a good time at the gym, so it's kind of weird wishing someone else to have one. I do feel a sense of accomplishment after each work out though. Have a good work out!
CE- Have fun at your activities today - good luck with the tennis.

Good morning everyone!
I'm at home with the oldest again. We're working on treatment phase 2. The school nurse told us that the new strains are putting up a fight to the over-the-counter remedies. We tried a newer, less toxic treatment yesterday, but it looks like we need the higher octane treatment. So, I've just finished round two of hair cleaning followed by an hour and half or so of combing. Hopefully, we'll achieve victory. If not, I'll be off with her to the doctor tomorrow for whatever ballistic treatment is available beyond what we've tried. We had the nurse double check the older two this morning before we sent them to class. They got a clean bill of health, so that's one less worry. Of course, now that the procedure is done with DD11; it's back to the

for all the bedding, clothing, stuffed animals, etc.
Jenny's got a half day, so we've got plans to have lunch and then rework our mobile phone plan. Looks like we're going to shift over to a family plan. With DD11 coming home on her own the rest of this year and the entry to middle school next year with a shifting of her schedule from the other two kids, we want her to have a way to reach us. So, we need to add a line and merge our current two lines onto a single plan. It's getting to about 3 years since I got my phone, so I should be eligible for the discount on a new one.
Oh well, off to change laundry loads. Other than lunch, I should be in and out pretty much all day.
TTFN!
