The Daily Grind 8/24/2012

[JJ&JHsmom]

Good Morning! TGIF!!!

Prayers and pixie dust to all those in need.

I stepped on the scale this morning and I have made my goal! I have lost the last few pounds I needed to since the beginning of the month.

Today:

grocery store, menu and list is made
library
Michaels for paper since I did not get there yesterday
cut pieces for MAW swap
dinner grilled chicken and salad
Julia to dance party to meet Brooke and Paige from "Dance Moms" They have signed on to support anti-bullying campaign and our studio is bringing them in. She is super excited!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Yay Cassey! Congrats on meeting your goal! TGIF to you and all of the Happy Scrappers out there.

Today:
clean out guest bedroom closet
call about bloodwork
finish TS Isaac prep list

Still don't know what will happen with Isaac on Monday but we are ready. Just have to move the patio furniture to the garage, charge up the weather radio and we'll determine Sunday if we need to put the storm shutters up. We are at the very bottom of the state, exit 1 on the turnpike and 22 miles from the first Key, Key Largo. Right now we are expecting lots of rain and some 40-50mph winds.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'm working. Had the babies yesterday and went to the zoo. Ryan is clapping now, he's so darned cute!

We did get some bad news on Wednesday. Betsy had her first MRI since starting the chemo last month. It's not working and the tumor has grown. They immediately stopped that medication and she will begin infusion chemo on the 5th of September (have to give the other medication time to get out of her system). She said it's her last option, so it just has to work. If you could keep her in your thoughts, it would be greatly appreciated. Those babies need her around for at least 4 more decades!

We're off to the Mystic Aquarium tomorrow for the day. Should be fun. I do want to stop at Macy's for some jeans for the girl, my sister bought her a pair of American Rag skinny jeans for school and the fit like a GLOVE! I want to get a least 2 more pair, she's a tough one to fit jeans on!

Stay safe, Becky! My sister is in Palm Harbor. Not right next door, but not too far either.

Cassey, congrats on reaching your goal!

Hope everyone has a good weekend. I hope to spend some time crafting on Sunday and Tuesday is the first day of school!

Cassey, congrats on making your goal! I need to get my tush in gear to lose the rest of my weight too....sounds like a fun get together for Julia and her dance studio!

Cassey - congrats on WL goal that is wonderful
Becky - stay safe
Jen - have fun at Mystic Aquarium
Lisa - enjoy the quiet time

boys have SHL today - I get time to myself but I'm going to run to wal-mart for a few things
I got Tigers cut out - they are Mardenz files so lots & lots of little pieces (I know better than this but didn't want to redo the files so sticky hands for me today)

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

Jennifer, will continue to keep Betsy in our prayers. Hopefully the new chemo treatment will work as those babies are way too young to be without thier mama.
Betsy and all our other friends in Issac's way, please stay safe.
Lisa, enoy the quiet time!

[Poppins2000]

Jennifer - so sorry to hear about Betsy...will be praying hard for her recovery and for her children and family...

Becky

 

[morgansmom2000]

Thank you everyone. She's the kind of person that when you meet her, you don't say "she seems like a nice person" you say "she IS a nice person." She's a sweetheart and her babies need her in their lives. She's incredibly strong, and has a wonderful support system, but we know this horrible disease doesn't really care about that.

 

[lovingthemouse]

Jen - I will keep Betsy in my prayers, and hope this round of chemo is much more effective!

Stay safe in FL - one way or another, from the weather maps, you are bound to have a lot of rain, and strong winds.

One more week off til I begin school, and I am going to enjoy it!! Year 35 begins!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Rachal ~ belated happy birthday!
Caroline ~ Woohoo for 35 years!!!
P & PD for Becky and all others in Isaac's path
Cassey congrats on making your goal weight

 

[rlovew]

Cassey- congrats on the weight loss!
Jennifer- sorry to hear about Betsy- There are so many ups and downs in treatment- my dad is in the hospital from complications at the moment but about ready to head home.
Becky- Good luck with the storm. I picked up stuff from the store the other day in case we have anything here as well. I figure none of it will go bad and I would rather get it early than in the rush.

I finished my first week of my working full time and the days are boring but fine. I am enjoying some of what we are doing but glad I am not doing this for a long period of time.

This evening:
Put away stuff for storm
dinner- pot pie
decide if I want to go to the workshop tomorrow
work on some swaps
look at my calendar and decide on holiday swap
