[StitchIsOurHero]

Nan--have a great field trip!!

Deb--have a wonderful day off!!

Rebecca--keep it up!! You are awesome!! You are inspiring me!!

Just 28 more working days (counting today) until summer vacation! Today should be a quiet day--we are having "spring sports extravaganza" today, so for the afternoon, most of the school will be outside, and I can work in my office!!

Here's my list for today. . .I must admit that I did well yesterday, UNTIL DH surprised me with KFC Grilled Chicken (and potato wedges!!). So, today is a new day--my biggest thing I'm trying to learn is not to beat myself up over everything!!

1. Caffeinate
2. Drop off DS
3. Take clothes to mom's
4. Pick up DS
5. Dinner with IL's and SIL
6. Pack lunches--I've been slacking & just doing this in the mornings, and it's much easier to do it at night!
7. Wash 1 load of clothes
8. Fold laundry, if time
9. Proj 365 pic
10. WW points logged in
11. Go to bed sort of early!

Everyone have a WONDERFUL Tuesday!!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Nancy, have a fun time on the field trip!!

My day:
DS to school
Laundry
Call DS's drama teacher
Clean bedrooms
Scout paperwork
Wait for exterminator to arrive for quarterly spraying and annual termite inspection
Go to awards assembly at school to see DS get an award (don't know for what yet!!!!)

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Lisa]

Congrats DIT DS for your award.

Keep up the good work, Rebecca and Brooke.

Have fun on the field trip, Nancy.

My to do list is fairly short today. Got lots I should do but it won't happen.

Put suitcase in the car.
Write in DD's communication book.
Get DD ready for school.
Stop at ATM for money.
Meet Mom for breakfast.
Catch flight to Baltimore.

Have a good day, everyone.

 

[rlovew]

Don't beat yourself up Brooke- just enjoy them in moderation- and at least he brought the grilled instead of the fried. I had a tiny bowl of ice cream last night, I was still under 1200 calories for the day and this morning I had my first day under 155 in a few months. I was 154.5, now that is my low point- I am sure it will flucuate some in the next few days but it is very exciting none the less.

Rebecca

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Lisa, why you going to Baltimore? Work again?
I can't wait to email you this weekend... Lots of genealogy stuff found! OMG!!!
I even had a photo of Mike's G-g- grandparents now!!!!!!!!
Even a photo of a quilt made by hand by his g-g-g-grandma!!
Oh, and I have a new site for you to try *you can get photos of markers from it!*

[AlexWyattMommy]

That is soo sweet Holly!

 

[morgansmom2000]

That's so stinking sweet, Holly! Can't wait to see what it's for (MD, I'm assuming ).

I'm working today. DH is getting Morgan off the bus this afternoon so I can go find a face guard for her softball helmet. They didn't tell us we needed them, or I would have gotten one with a guard. Ah well, I have to return something at Macy's anyway, and I wanted to check Old Navy for those SPF shirts for her for camp, so...It's a kill two birds with one stone kind of day. I think I need an iced coffee this morning...It's sooooo hot! Supposed to hit 90 degrees today. That's just mental, it's only April 28th!

After my shopping, I'll deal with Morgan's homework, do dinner, dishes, etc., and go to the first softball game of the season.

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[ddavis860]

Oh Holly...they are just too funny!!! How stinkin' cute was THAT!! You're just her husband ...and the Mike's comment...

Thanks for the laugh!

 

[party of 3]

[aroyer]

Ash-how's my boyfriends finger today?

It's fine! Thanks for asking. I didn't see any bruising, although he didn't let me get too close.

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Holly, that was such a sweet story!!!! I just loved the "I'm her favorite person. You are just her husband" part!!

Thanks for asking about T.K. (my cat). He did fine. He was stretched out in his hammock when they arrived and they fussed over him. He loved all the attention. The only time he grumbled was while they were taking the blood, but then he was fine and just sat there and looked at them like "why did you do that?" He went back to his hammock and all was well. I think I may need to have them do housecalls more often. It's so much less stressful for the cats and me!!
