CHEERY O
I am running late, and low on brain cells today. Confusion sets in. I know. It doesn't take much to throw me into a Cognitive Tailspin but yuppers, today is a good one of those.

My client for today had to reschedule, that huge snow event might actually turn out to be a huge snow even (or not!), I don't have a clue as to what I should do today. My taxes should be near the top of the list but I have to get the brain working in a forward direction if I am going to do that, Both kids are cranky this morning. Scott has HSPA's (HS Proficiency exams) the next 3 days and is nervous. If you don't pass you don't graduate. They do get three "sittings" to pass but uf he doesn't pass this time, it will really screw up his schedule for senior year. He is doing so good this marking period (chance at honor roll even!!!) but his past grades are hanging over his head. I am trying to tell him that his bad grades were mostly due to not completing assignments, not that he didn't know what he was doing, but he isn't feeling that.
Cait is cranky because now that he is back on several pills in morning she needs to eat b-fast.
*sighs*

I should be a good mom and ask her if she wants me to make something for her. If not, she'll take her pills on an empty stomach then go to the nurse b/c she is nauseous and then will get set home.

:?

ugh.......

:D

Morning O fam-big O hugs for you Chris- brain fog is not good. We might actually get snow tonight as well. Time will tell- each time it is a big non-event- our blizzard lasted one day with 6" of snow- this snow is supposed to be 6-8 and fall mainly overnight. Time will tell. I just know if they don't plow I will call off cause my car does not do well in snow. Likely most my families won't come in either. Okay time to get ready for the work day.
 
Morning ladies... I am late getting in here because I forgot to set my alarm!! Well that just throws a wrench into the whole day doesn't it!! :dizzy: So I have been trying to figure out why I have been in such a crappy mood the past two days and lying in bed awake at 3am this morning it hit me. It was thirteen years ago that we rushed DD to the emergency and her life and ours changed forever!! I still am dealing with guilt and don't know if I will ever be able to forgive myself for not getting her to the hospital sooner, would it have mattered?? Who knows?? I know its silly and its been way to long to have these feelings, but if I can't cry to you wonderful ladies then who?? Ok enough of that!! Its time to move on and get happy again, after all DD has come a long way and has a wonderful man in her life and a baby on the way. (another thing that I am worried about!) :hand: Ok I won't go there. Thanks for listening to this crazy mother!! I better get my butt in the shower and head out to work. Short shift today and then back to catch up on my scrapping, lots to do!!

Chris - Hope your son does well with his HSPA's!! Hope your brain fog clears and that your daughter eats some breakfast!! You can get your taxes done, I know you can!! But scrapping would be much more fun :becky:

Laurie - Hoping that your blizzard does not happen!! Enough with winter already! Drive safe!!

See all of you later, have a great morning! :wave: Sorry for the rant!!
 
Chris. remember me?? :rofl: sorry about the brain fuzz. i get it. only i don't have to deal with cranky teenagers, too. we're getting the damned snow tonight. because i'm a bit north of where the heavy stuff is supposed to go, i'm hoping that the forecast for 3-5" is correct. it's supposed to be the heavy, wet stuff, so i imagine power outages will happen, too. nuts to this. just totally and completely NUTS to it!!! :rant: :tape2:

Laurie, isn't it great when you put stuff out at the curb and it just goes "poof??" we put out some really weird metal stuff (chunks of metal cable and mystery pieces of something-or-others) when i cleaned the garage last year, and all THAT disappeared. hope your snow isn't too bad. i have to look at the path of this thing. because of the AMOUNT of snow, it's probably one of those moisture-filled messes that come up here from the Gulf and Texas.

Trudy, ((hugs.)) remembering bad stuff and trying to figure out what part we played in it can be exhausting and sad. all those "if only i would have" 's can plow you under. i know you'll be able to dwell on all those positives you mentioned. not to forget what has been, but to move forward to better days. thinking of you, my friend.

well, as it turned out, the mammogram was NOT the high point of my day. everything came out well there. but after that i got to go to the Apple Store at the mall and hang out with all the cool 20-30-somethings who know stuff about computers! it was decided that my daughter's iPad was Dead Beyond Resurection. since i believe that no one should have to go through life without an iPad, i bought her a replacement: an iPad Mini. it's cute, does all the usual iPadzy things, and it's really is all she needs, since she has a laptop that still works. AND i got to eat a Five Guys bunless burger for lunch. so, it was all good. oh. and the SUN came out yesterday!!!!! right after my mammo. the sun is out even now, in fact, but i know that today it's just a cruel hoax, since the Snow Event will be moving in later today. :smow:

staying close to home again today. the mammogram, the Apple store and the hamburger yesterday was just too much excitement for one woman to handle. :pound:

i hope the sun's shining where you are. and, as i've said before--hope it's shining in your head, too! :becky:

Good morning - had a strange night's sleep - never a deep sleep always full of dreams. The last one involved going out to dinner with my girlfriend and the restaurant was empty as the owner was nasty and so my friend took his dinner and through it in the trash LOL and then we left to see some movie I have never heard of in a town I have never heard of. My hockey team has truly forgotten how to play hockey. My goal scores missed open nets and my goalie let in two he should have stopped. But I still love them. And I then got to watch my Phoenix Coyotes win so that made the night better.

Chris hope the fog goes away. Those HSPA tests were I think more stressful for me as the parent than for my sons. My oldest had to take the English test twice. But our school had classes for those that did not pass to get them so they would pass. It was an elective in their senior year. I sure he will pass!

Trudy I hope you feel better. I dont think as parents we ever are totally free of guilt.

Laurie hope you dont get too much snow!

Have a great day all!
 
Hugs Chris!!! I don't know how you do it all, especially raising two teens! I hope Scott gets over his test anxiety!!

Laurie I hope the weather worked out in your favor!!

Trudy -- you know you can't change the past, and dwelling on it screws up your present and future -- everything happens for a reason <3 you're an amazing mother and grandmother, keep that up!

Phylis I'm glad your mamo worked out fine!!! Sucks about the ipad being dead though :(

Nancy - wow that sucks about not getting any deep sleep! I hope tonight is better!

Well... off to work for me!!! I was hoping to get a good work out in this morning, but clients dropped off reports for me to process without warning... and I have *just* enough time to get them done *if* I don't do my workout. Soooo I'm forgoing my shower and processing reports in my workout clothes, so I have NO excuses once I'm done LOL! I signed up for a DietBet to hopefully keep me motivated over the next month. I just have to reach my 4% goal at the end of the four weeks and I get a share of the winnings. It's an open bet if anyone wants to join in.
Grrrrr enough procrastinating... I need to get these reports done!!!!
 
Meg, i have to check out that Diet Bet thing. sounds interesting!

Nancy, aren't those "half asleep" nights the worst?? the dreams are always so bizarre.:loco:
