I think I am going to try this to see if "accountability" keeps me on track.

DS12 to school (why was it not a school day? Ugh!)
Laundry finished
Laundry baskets emptied & away
Wash kitchen floor
$0 buy day? It is snowing to beat the band, suppose to get 6 inches by 7pm. Really don't need to go anywhere.

Good morning everyone!!!
I'm so glad it is FRIDAY!!!!

OK made another pymt to Disney - I couln't figure out how to do it online so I called, gotta figure that out before DH pays his part, he is paying with a bonus which is why we got to add a few more days
then I'll owe anther $500 so it is nice to see the light of a bill (a fun bill but a bill anyways)

OK gotta get ready for work - hoping to get things straighten up again - I think that is going to be a Friday project for the whole semester - why are people so messy??? guess because they know someone else will pick up after them

want to update my new chart then glue more on Belle & Beast - Mrs Potts & chip & Gaston - Lummure & Clocksworth are done (sp??) but wondering if I need more of them - don't have a LO for their play in HS have to see if boys will behave for that or not

Good morning Ladies! Its Friday, Friday, Friday!!!!

Busy day and weekend ahead. Hope the weather holds out so we can get it all accomplished.

Prayers and pixie dust to all those in need. Hope everyone is feeling better soon. This weather is the pits and is really messing with my migraines!

Lets see....to do today:

Boys up & out - oldest 2 on bus
Ready for work
Take youngest DS and his family recipe and (caramel apple dip and apples) If you haven't tried this.....its totally addicting!
Work
My guys at work are running a live intruder drill at the schools today - my phones will be ringing off the hook from parents wanting to know what is going on. Starts at 9:45 and my head hurts already just thinking about it!
Home to get DS from bus
To my parents house tonight - mom is cooking dinner!

Saturday:
Cub scout science day at the mall. We had planned a whole day around it and then my SIL called last night to say my nephew's party is saturday. Really.....could you wait a little longer to tell us! Did his birthday just sneak up on you this year when you weren't expecting it? I say we drop a gift off on our way home from our scheduled plans. DH says we need to re-arrange our schedule. We will hafta see who wins this battle.

Sunday:
Scout Sunday
Boy Scout Dinner
If we get home early enough I can work on my Dumbo layout

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[wiigirl]

Good morning everyone!

Today...just work work work...

 

[morgansmom2000]

Yeah, no, Danielle. They can't just expect everyone to drop their plans. Drop the gift off before or after. Fegetaboutit...

I'm at work. Feeling a bit overwhelmed because I have been asked to come back in for a "formal" interview and computer testing and a typing test. Then the following week, they may want me to meet with the department. I'm very very happy!

This weekend - Saturday, I'm going to see Les Mis and out to lunch with my sister and Morgan. Need to run to Kohl's and get a white tee to wear under the red sweater I bought for my next interview.

Sunday, I will have to do my grocery shopping, since Tuesday may be spent in the city. DH is going to a friend's to watch the game. He's disappointed that we don't have a horse in the race, but they do enjoy getting together. Morgan and I plan to watch the Puppy Bowl.

I hope everyone stays warm and healthy and has a great weekend!

Morning ladies!

My head is stuffy! I hate it when people send visibly, severly sick kids to school. We had one at preschool Monday. I spent a lot of time following her and wiping things down. Yuck!

Dance
Run errands while she's at dance

TGIF Y'all!

Jen - that is great news about another interview next week! Keeping my fingers crossed for ya

Been deliberating these past two days about the meds the derm wants to put me on. Do I really want to take them? They seem to do more damage than healing the psoraisis! Nausea, vomiting, gradual hair loss, abnormal liver function, no immune system, NO ALCOHOL (love my wine!), no over the counter meds like aspirin, ibuprofen, cold or allergy meds. Lord know what happens if I get an infection! I also have to get blood work every six weeks to make sure there is no liver damage. That and there is no guarantee it will work, the chances are high at 75% but still!!

I have been talking to my sisters and my BFF who, thank god, is a doctor and they think I should try a more natural route for 6 months. Natural meaning an strict anti-inflammatory diet. I am overweight, as in 100lbs+, lord knows I must be inflamed already, haha! BFF thinks my chances with the diet are just the same as the meds, even better, because I will lose weight. It will be alot of work, I will have to eliminate processed foods but this path seems like a no brainer compared to the other!

Sooo, my journey will begin today - I gotta do this!!!

Today
make a list of things I need to do in prep of the diet change
pay bills
work on valentines
run to post office
date night - dinner and off to see Penn and Teller at the Hard Rock (got free tickies!)

Happy Friday!!

Becky

 

[mommy2mrb]

P & PD to all under the weather and in need

today:
grocery list
update tax stuff - got a few things yesterday
clean bathrooms
pull papers for paperdoll swap - think I have everything I need!
p/u megan @ 130 early dismissal
grocery shopping
dinner - french dip and salad

hope everyone has a wonderful day!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Congrats Jennifer!!!!!

You'll do great!!!!!

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

Jennifer, that is great news! You will do awesome!

Danielle, hope you win the birthday argument! That is way last minute...

Becky, hopefully the changes in diet will help. I always think a natural approach is better than medication.

Rachal, hopefully you don't catch what the little one had....

Lisa, glad you are starting to feel better.

Today hasn't been too bad. Boss let me leave an hour early. Phone calls are done, just waiting to hear back from one person. Hopefully it is a quiet weekend so I can recharge before the madness of next week! I am out every night due to meetings and appointments, I think my family may start putting a limit on my volunteering soon....

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Cassey, I so better not. She was so miserable! No time for that! Ds isn't feeling well today either... He's already down for a nap.

Been puttering around. Once overed the house, folded laundry,one more load of towels to dry. DD and I made no bake cookies. I'm waiting for my lunch to heat up, then off to scrap something.

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

Just have to share.

Julia just handed me her report card, mostly A's with 2 B,s! She is so excited! She also made it into the Culinary Arts program! My girl is over the moon!

 

[mommy2mrb]

great news about Julia! congratulations!

Rachal, hope you don't share the sickies!

roof guys came out and part of the peak over my garage wasn't covered well enough, funny it took 2 1/2 years for it to leak will see if that does the trick when we get rain again next week!

Good Job!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Awesome news for Julia getting into the program she wanted!!! Congrats on those grades!!! Job well done!!!!!


Dh and DS16 left for the ball game.. he end up having to work late because someone was running late and they had to wait...

DD and her roommate have offically moved to another room!!!! They are so glad to be away from the others... (lots of issues, drinking, bullying, lying....sad that the HS drama was still continuing at the college level.(and none of the girls went to the same HS school..) One thing these suitemates didn't anticipate is that DD and her roommate didn't play HS drama... they documented everything and handled it themselves.. very proud of their maturity!!!!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Awesome!! I got all of my candy love notes printed.. so tomorrow I just need to mat and put them on their candy bags!!

I'm so happy that is ready to go!!! Will make tomorrow go so much faster!

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Lisa, no way! I hate being sick more than I hate my kids being sick! DS took a 5 hour nap today, he seems to be doing much better.

I need some dancing bananas! We got our first non-person-I-know order today I do love my friends orders but this is awesome!
