Delaware News Journal says:

Round 2: Nor'easter may dump another 18 inches

Soooooo, I asked at work yesterday if I can have a couple of hrs vaca time to get in, since DH will be working till 8a and I have to be in at 7a. He drives a suburban w/4wd in this weather, I have a honda... Anyway, DH's dept doesn't ever have a prob with those kind of requests. They know how to be flexible. My dept said no. Why? Because there is a storm coming and they won't approve the vaca. SO, there goes my perfect attendance for the year, as I will be late. Unless the hospital (not the state...we are EXPECTED to get into work even if the state calls a state of emergency and says to not drive), the HOSPITAL has to call it a a state of emergency. THEN you get 2hrs to get your butt in the door for your shift w/o penalties.

DH said he has something up his sleeve, so I'll wait and see what he is thinking... but I'm still miffed with my !@#$% boss!!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

[morgansmom2000]

Deb, I think you're coming down with something, cough cough...(I'm assuming you get sick time?)

It's Tuesday and I'm not working! We are expected to get 6-10 inches tomorrow, but it isn't supposed to start until "around the morning commute." Lovely...Princess has a half day, so they probably won't cancel school. I hate the thought of her on a bus in the snow, so I may just keep her home, but then I have to bring her to work with me, and it's 6 of one half dozen of another, because I hate driving in it too! Decisions, decisions.

Anyhow, I've got a list a mile long today.

PrincessM up, fed, dressed, bus

Wash sheets
Sort other laundry
Wrap Morgan's and Sophie's Valentine's presents
Sheets in dryer/continue other laundry
Laptop - back up pictures and projects onto EHD
Start taxes on other program

Fold and put away sheets/keep chugging away at other laundry
Pay Bills
Cards

Swap - Unfortunately, not priorities - the other things on the list are
Grocery store
Bank
Lunch
Cards
Baby Book
Swap - Unfortunately, not priorities - the other things on the list are

Morning ladies.

Well my list is sooooo long and I won't get anything done because
I have my federal audit going on this week. And it's board meeting
week as well. I'm wishing it was Friday already. Got tons on
my list and don't know when or how to get it done.
We have bubbas party on Saturday. I need to finish up with
some of that stuff. He has another party the next day. I need to get
a gift for that. I have no vd gifts for my boys yet. I need to do that.
I like to make the teacher a vd gift. Not done. Bubba said last night
that we have not seen uncle in 2 weeks. My sisters husband that is sick.
and house bound. I said I know buddy but we got lots of stuff to do.
To which he replied.... Yes muma I know but uncle d can't leave the
house and he really needs people to visit him. He sick muma. Let's go see
him and bring him a shake. Everything else can wait.
now I know he is right, but why did it take him to say that foe me to get it.
My bil has to be feed but can drink a shake and bubba knows that how?
Because he does not miss a trick. And he listens. And he is a caring little boy.
I am so lucky.

Soy lesson here is ( from an almost 8 year old) take the time because
somehow everything will get done!


Have a GOOD day everyone.

 

[joyah]

Bubba is a smart caring little boy cause he's got a wonderful Mumma!! And he's right take time to visit the sick, elderly and friends you haven't seen in a while.

 

[party of 3]

Thank you Christy.
inknow of willall get done. I feel bad that it took him to say that to me for me to get it.

I love my bubba!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Your little man has a heart of gold he does.

 

[ZeroToHero]

Danica, what is the Jeopardy College Test? Are you trying to be on the show?

It's the test to possibly be on the show sometime in the next year (for the College Tournament, which I think is going on now?)

I doubt I'll do very well, because I'm not so good at sports (which is a big part of the College Tournament), but hey, why not try if it gets me out of work early?



Deb - New car? One can dream!

Holly - You have the best kid ever - which means that he was raised by a great mom!

 

[PinballFamily]

Busy day today - school meeting (hopefully, an easy and straightforward one for DD - with no funny business...we'll see ) and then deal with the rest of the regular Tuesday stuff around here.

Watch for someone's purple folder in the mail...it's deja vu all over again!!!

 

[PinballFamily]

Holly - what a sweetheart!

Sometimes, it takes a kid's innocence and wisdom to cut through all of the rest of our life's crap, doesn't it?

 

[party of 3]

Thank you all!!!!
He makes me see the good in everything.

 

[morgansmom2000]

Oh, Holly, he's a great kid! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you.

Good luck on your test, Danica. You're a smart kid, you'll probably just know that stuff from "knowing" it.

Got a couple things done already. I needed my word this morning with my girly. Now I feel bad

 

[rlovew]

Holly- what an awesome son you have!
Deb- I hope things work out for youat work!
ZTH- good luck on test and with the purple folder

Today:
hope that all the flights go out without a hitch
school
exercise
finish kitchen cleaning
dinner- ham/brocoli roll ups
finish guest bath
laundry
Bible Study- my women's study starts tonight

Rebecca

 

[LindaBabe]

That is one smart little kid! It took me til I was fifty to develop that kind of awareness of other's needs. <blush>

OK here it is - the good the bad and the ugly:

Up at 5:15
Gym by 6:10 Weighed. I'll be frank. 219.5. I'm thrilled. Why? Because I started out at 267 last January. Because my Aic is now 5.2 instead of 7.9. Because I FINALLY broke 220 and have been below it every weighing since the first of last week, which means it's a good number.

27 minutes on the recumbant cross trainer.
40 minutes work out in the pool

Shower, hair wash, groceries, post office and home by 8:30 for breakfast.

You, too, can do it! Good luck and have a great day!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Finished cutting my first blanket. It took over an hour. Hopefully it goes quicker the longer I do this.


Congrats Lisa!!
