:Cry:
I am so tired already. I have been having these nightmares and panic attacks when I wake up from them. The adrenaline wakes me up and I can't fall back asleep, so I have been up since 3 am. It is going to be a loooong day. I just finsihed my second large mug of coffee and am ready to get my third. I am cleaning today and Cait is coming with me, Do you think she'll let me sleep on the client's couch while she does all of the work? LOL
yeah, I don't think so either...

So besides being exhausted, not much else going on here. Gotta pay some bills, do some laundry.

Temptation on Thursday
Take some Tylenol PM and go back to bed!!!

Have a great one!!!!

..... send coffee........
 
So what do all of you ladies do when you get insomnia? I can't get out of bed, it makes me to too cranky, so I listen to my iPod. I try to do some meditations and/or sleep tapes, but sometimes I am too far gone and there is just no way to concentrate or relax.

Laurie- how is the 4 days a week working out for you? Bet you will be happy for a three day weekend :)

Phyllis- I am with you too, hitting a huge scrap-slump. Were you able to get outside for some yard work at all? I spent a little while cutting back some lilies and wrapping some morning glory vines. We used to have to hickory (I think that is what they were) trees and they would drop these god awful nuts that would literally put dents in our cars. The squirrels loved them and you could hear them chewing them from inside the house. Then I would need to take a shovel and scrape them off the front walk. I do not miss them, even if I am a certified tree hugger!
At least the weather has been pretty nice in our area.

Trudy- its so hard feeling pulled in a bunch of directions isn't it? Yes, Scott is really having fun and that makes it so much easier to have him gone, Not to mention he will text us throughout the day which makes me smile too.

Phyllis!! Did you see your DD!?

Hugs to all of you!!
 
Morning O fam- up and about, my day off, sort of- I have hair at noon and then will go into work- paid I hope to see 5 kids I have not been able to do rechecks on due to schedule issues, work on paper work and then head north to get ready for 3 days of being a student. MMG will be on his own- I am sure he can handle it.

Chris- I have not officially asked for the new schedule- that is coming- soon. I am feeling a tad bit burned out and want to prevent either slow sizzle or blazing inferno. Currently still on 4 days- 2 eights and 2 nines- would like to go to either 3 tens or 3 tens and 1 four. I am sure I can get that approved, just not sure that I can get Friday and Thursday as my days off.

I will try to stop back in,not sure if I will have computer access at the hotel with out paying so if not- happy week & weekend!
 
UUUGGHHH Chris...I know what it feels like to be up like that....of late (last 10 days or so) my sleeping is back to some type of "normal". we need to set up a special place for the O girls who are awake in the middle of the night...we can come chat if we are all up :becky: As for what I do....usually get up (I hurt too much if I just lay in bed), I watch a movie..or DVR'ed shows...sometimes scrap...it's very quiet so it's kind of nice. Take your :whip: with you when you clean!! :hurt:

Laurie....Okay..not a day off if you are going in to work!! :mrgreen: guess HALF DAY OFF? enjoy the beautifiying...I love getting my hair done!! Hope the trip goes well for you sweetie!! LEARN LOTS!!!
 
I think we are going to take the kids to the park in a little while..before it gets hot....Jaiden LOVES the park and she asked before we went to bed last night if we could go today. How can I say no??


The boys are already off and playing with their "new" toys....I pullled out the old power rangers yesterday....they were Cameran's and have been put up for over two years...they are like two kids at Christmas!!!!


I kept Miss S here yesterday evening after Sharon picked up Cameran....yeah...now I remember why I had to let her go to daycare....WOW!!!! those two girls are BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDD together!!!!


Okay...off to fix breakfast...they are all squawking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i always thought this was a great idea, Nana. half the female population of the world must be up in the middle of the night for SOME reason or other.

Chris, what i do is a bit like what YOU do with the iPod, except i use books on tape. relaxation audio expects you to be actively engaged with something. when you listen to a book, it's like someone telling you a bedtime story, and you can just doze off without having to do much of anything. i've been using the last audiobook of Harry Potter for this purpose lately. it can't be too loud, or you'll be actually LISTENING to what the reader is saying, which is not what you want to be doing, i hope you get some rest, sweetie. remember my motto: if the people around you don't want to give you the opportunity to get what you need to be healthy...TAKE IT. when you get home from work, announce that you are exhausted and are going to sleep, not to be bothered. then tell them to order a pizza and close the door. it's very empowering. and entirely possible, i believe.

sorry if i sound bossy. i just really want women to stand up and take care of their own needs, too, instead of everyone else's.

yup, i met with my daughter on Monday. we talked about her career path and financial stuff. it went well. i hope she takes some of what we talked about to heart. but, you can't be smart for other people. it's nice to be talking to her again, even though it still is feeling a bit awkward.

Laurie, hope you have a good time learning and that you eventually hit on the perfect schedule for work!

hmm. me today. well, i'm on a quest to find a new small food processor. somehow i got a crack in the bowl of mine, and everything that involves liquid just drains right out the crack. then i'm going to replenish my supply of coconut oil. i already baked some almond flour zucchini muffins this morn, which turned out pretty well, and made some "normal" zucchini bread for The Hubby, while at the same time doing some laundry. so, looks like i'm staying close to home today. again.
 
Good Morning ladies... I don't have to get to work until 9:30 today, somehow they managed to slip in a full day for me today?? So I won't be home until after 6 o'clock. So DD has the house all to herself today. Its a beauty of a day today too, darn it :hurt: I want to stay home with her and just relax on the deck :pout: We went to my Brothers last night (the one who lives on the river) and had a great supper with him my SIL and their daughter and their son-in-law and two kids from Australia. It was so great to see them again!! My niece and my DD are close to the same age and have always been great friends! They hope to come and pick her up soon to go for a float down the river and have a girls day together, that would be so nice for my DD!!

Chris - ITA with the meeting place, I am sure most of us here would join you at 3am for a chat!! I like to get up and try to scrap when I can't sleep, but lately I have been going in so many directions that by the time bedtime comes around I am totally exhausted and crash!!! :sleep: But always wake up at 4am with a lovely hot flash :flame:

Laurie - Enjoy your hair appt. today, I also love to have my hair done and could easily fall asleep in the chair!! Hope you get to see your 5 kids today! Although that does not sound like much of a day off to me!!

Phylis - Sounds like you have already had a busy morning of baking!! Hmmm I can smell the muffins Yummmm!! I love your motto Phylis!!! We should all live by it! Good luck on your quest to find a new food processor!! Enjoy your day!!

Well I am so far behind with my scrapping, that I don't think I will ever get caught up, but I have some free time this morning, so I am off to open up my Photoshop and try to be creative, wish me luck!! Oh BTW did you hear that Heather Prins and I are meeting up? I can hardly wait for Sunday to arrive!!
 
feels like I haven't been on the boards in forever-i have a minute here or there and that's it. We leave for vacation in two days-i am up to my eyeballs cleaning the house (i like my fall cleaning done before i go so i come home to a shiny house), but its been soooo hot here its gross. This is the hottest most humid summer i think we have had in a very long time-i live in Albert, its supposed to be dry!! Oh and did i mention the mosquitos? UGH! Can't be outside to enjoy cause they swarm and they just laugh at bug spray! Vacation cannot come soon enough! Okay enough whining! I am meeting Trudy on Sunday and I can't wait!
