It my dude's birthday today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
16!

How the heck did that happen?
I have to admit, I am all partied out. Another family gathering at my house yesterday, and another one where Gary was MIA much of the time. He had one of his insane insomnia nights where he doesn't sleep at all-- woke up Saturday morning and didn't get to sleep until Sunday afternoon. Thank
fully, the fam is understanding about it all.

I can't complain too much with my insomnia today- I have been wide awake since 3 am. Dang, i am tired. :sleep:

Lots of coffee for me today.

Catzilla is now here, so I am going to sign off.
Lots of love to you all!

MOrning O fam- was MIA at end of the week for a two day conference on pediatric feeding issues. It was good. Now back to routine- that helps- that means yes I was on the treadmill this am. MMG is such a softie- he was trimming the lilac bushes out front- they were tiny 10 years ago, but now huge, he has trimmed them every year, but we decided this year a major prune- he was trimming away and discovered a nest with a baby sparrow in it, so he left this huge plume with the nest. He came down this am, and somberly told me, the baby bird died. I love this man. Today is going to be sunny,and I will be at work, but it will be okay- I have outside jobs planned for after work. Loving the summer like weather, and it doesn't officially turn summer for another month. Have Marvelous Mondays!!

wow, what a gorgeous weekend we had! maybe i'll get brave and buy some annuals today. hopefully it won't snow again....

Chris, you are like the Party Maven. i wonder every day how you do all that you do. i say again--you are AMAZING.:humble:

Laurie, i really admire your exercising enthusiasm. the a.m. is the only time i feel like exercising, and i really can't, because it messes with my blood sugar. then the afternoon comes, or the evening, and i'm doing other stuff and/or too tired. gotta find a way to get enthusiastic.

off to the dermatologist in a few hours to ask her about bizarre old-age crap going on with my skin these days. dunno what i'm doing after that. it's supposed to rain later.

have a more exciting Monday than i'm apparently going to have!

good morning happy birthday to your "dude" Chris!!!

poor baby birdie so sad

glad you had a nice weekend Phylis


i must say i am SO GLAD my weekend is over and im just down to my 3 kids lmao....i swear if i ever get the baby bug all i need to do is think of these weekends i have all these kids and POOF that feeling goes away hahaha...

anyways...gonna be going for a walk today yay!!! i went on maintenance mode for the last 2 weeks...now im switching back to loose another 4-5lbs my shorts that i LOVE do not quite fit me right....they are a bit snug in the legs still...so need to fix that LOL...but it was nice to not really worry about food and stuff for those 2 weeks...i still got my exercise in once a day only so that was nice to not do it more than once haha...and my body adjusted well to the switch yay!

and now that its warming up i get to add in a new exercise...SWIMMING! we bought a pool big enough i can swim back and forth in...and omg if i do that or about 10-20 mins my whole body is sore the next day!!! LOL....so i cannot wait for the really warm days!! today will not be one of those days but the rest of the week should be! YAY!! so i'll get in my daily walk and then some swimming time and probably some elliptical time as well

Good Monday Morning all... :rain: here today and by the sounds of it all week long :mmph: Long weekend here, but not for me I am off to work today, but get paid time and 1/2 hooray!! It makes up for the fact that I do not get to stay here and play today. Did not get much play time yesterday either, housework and things that hubby just had to have help with. Well I shouldn't complain, we bottled wine yesterday and he makes the very best wine ever, I help to drink it so I guess its only fair that I help to bottle it. Tomorrow is my day off and his also, so he has promised not to be in the way so much and let me do my thing. LOL.

Chris - Happy Birthday to your Wonderful Young Man!! Sweet sixteen, wow where did the time go?? :noidea: I agree with Phylis!! You truly are an amazing woman!! :first:

Laurie - WTG on getting back on the treadmill, you are so much more disciplined than I am!! My walks are sporadic and not often enough that's for sure ! Wish I could get into some kind of a routine! You rock!! Have a great work day!

Phylis - Hope you get to put your annuals in soon!! I just did mine the other day always wait until the May long weekend, but you never know, it could just snow again one day :scared: Hope your trip to the dermatologist gives you some answers to your skin problem. My skin is so dry now and being hypo-thyroid just makes it that much drier!! I go through lotion like you wouldn't believe!!

Kristy - How nice that you will get to do some laps in your pool!! Hope that the weather warms up so that you will get to try that out soon!! Those shorts will fit properly in no time!!

Have a great day everyone! Hope you all get some sun in yours lives today! If you do send some my way would you?? :wave:
