Morning!

Braydon and Kaylin are back to school today. The non-rushing mornings were so nice!!

Mark is out of town for the whole week. Ugh!!

Tomorrow my SIL is taking the kids so I can do some running around. I have a yearbook meeting at 2. Somehow I'm co-chair.

Thursday I have my neighbor's kids. Friday I have to watch twin boys and my nieces.

I also have to get my D40 in this week. The flash wasn't working, so I found out how to fix that, but in the process now the flash won't pop up so it smokes if I take a picture. Frustrating!!

Sara-Hope all goes well with Mikey's appointments and your move!

Dorian--I hope Cole is better soon!!

I am in a funk today. Turning 35 did not make me feel cheery for some reason. That combined with returning to work today. I really miss being with the girls. It was a nice relaxing vacation with them. It is the first time we did not have to really travel during the two weeks.

Starting my healthy living/eating today. Trying not to call it a diet or think of it as dieting. I am just adding movement and good food to my life.

Nothing planned this week really. Dance for Allie today after school. That is the only real thing that is scheduled. I need to make an apt for the allergist for me. I am suffering so bad and they have not gone away.

Good morning!

Don’t fall off of your chairs, I am posting! :giggle

We started back to our routine this morning and were promptly late. UGH! So so hard to get everyone going. And, um yeah, we only had a three day weekend to be out of our routine. :bag

Plans for this week? De-christmas the house, get back into healthy cooking and eating, work, etc. So, nothing thrilling at all.

Oh, it is my wedding anniversary today. Not sure if my hubby even remembers that. Sigh!

good afternoon, friends

i'm exhausted.

i woke up at 3 am and didn't go back to sleep.

then I went out to the house and worked for 3 hours.

zzzzzz

now i'm making my lunch and heading to bed for a few hours.

Sonya · Guru

becca and dorian in one morning! Horray!

it's a good day!

I survived.

Then I was 10 minutes picking Hannah up from school, which based on her reaction means I'll be shelling out money for therapy in a few years.

Joe's hours are getting cut again at work.

And I just overflowed the dishwasher by using a touch too much regular dish soap because we're out of cascade.

And I think I'm burning my lunch, but at this point it won't stop me from posting, lol.

I'm going to run up to bed, pretend to sleep for 2 minutes, and start my Monday over.

good morning!

girls back to school today, sending kenneth to work tomorrow (woo-hoo!!) and it's the coldest week here in a looooonnngggg time. supposed to be in the teens by the weekend

brrrrr

Sent Ray back to work today after being home for 2 weeks(time off and vacation). It is so much easier without him. It's like going from 2 kids to 3 when he is around.

Stephen went back today and Raven tomorrow. She is so excited. She is asking me to pick her up from school instead of riding the bus. I wonder how long that will last? I want to pick her up all the time.

How long can veg soup stay in the fridge? It was cooked with a ham bone if that matters.

yeah Sara, your schedule makes me tired for sure

how is the food therapy going for Mikey

i'm still waiting for a call back from GI to schedule cole's

the food therapy is ... it's good while we're there but quite honestly i am not doing as much home work as i should be doing. it is WORK and between all the kids, the move & the craziness ...

:sigh: i'm failing with this part.

sappy · Guru

so yay! mikey didn't need blood or platelets. AND his white count isn't high (it's actually pretty low). i was a little worried but those are the exact places his counts should be based on his treatment. yay!

also, the dr told us that as of now his treatment is scheduled to end 06/01/10.

five more months. everyone PLEASE pray he stays cancer free forever!

wednesday caroline has two appointments and jake has one.
thursday i have something? (can't remember)
friday we take possession of the new townhouse and saturday we're scheduled to move in. (it's supposed to be a high of 9 degrees on saturday - stupid chicago winter)

Good morning!

We start back into our new routine tomorrow. E starts preschool five mornings a week instead of three now. Today I think we are going to stay in. I don't like going out when it's cold. The rest of the week I need to do exciting things like grocery shopping.

Yesterday was our anniversary and it turned out pretty nice. Dh and I spent the most time alone in years. It was nice and I now have a new cell phone instead of the cheapo replacement I had been using. It's not an I phone, but I like it. It has a 5 mega pixel camera/w flash. I am just thrilled to have picture capability again.

We also have been talking more about our disney world trip. I am getting so excited, but boy there is so much to think about even though we were in Disneyland in April. This time we are going longer and of course, it's in Florida.

D- I hope Cole is feeling better

Sara- I hope your move goes smoothly despite this nasty cold streak.

Happy (day late) Anniversary!! Glad you two got some time together.
