Daily Ooo's: Tuesday, May 28

[faerywings]

Boy!! It feels good to start a Daily Oooos thread again! I was so happy to see that you all started threads too! I hate being offline, but i guess it is good to take a break from life for a bit.

I told my mom that you were all glad that i was getting away and letting her take care of me. She wants me to report back to all of you that she did her best to make me relaxed and comfy. LOL
And she and my dad really did. I got a lot of sleep. 14 and half hours the first night I was there-- insane, eh??? I didn't have to do any cooking or cleanup.
I didn't get to be outside much at all. It was so cold!!! Like in the 40's! poor cait was down the shore and didn't pack warm enough clothes. I layered up, wrapped myself in blankets and sat near the fire with my book/glass of wine

Hopefully the "less-stressed-me" can stick around. I have a busy week up ahead. 4 houses to clean,and I hope to get cait in to see the therapist this week too. She won't wear short sleeves, didn't like the the longer sleeves shirts I picked up from Kohl's and is going to wear a hoodie all summer to hide her scars..... *sighs* I guess all I can do is support and love her and hope for the best.

What have all of you been up to the past few days? Behaving?:nono:

I am going to try to catch up with the Ooo's and gallery today. One "good" thing-- my friend doesn't need me to babysit ATM (her DH got laid off ) so I don';t have to to do extra bus stop runs ( Idon;t get paid either ugh) but that gives me a bit more time in the mornings.

how was that ^^ for a grammatically horrifying sentence???

Hope you all knew what I was saying.

Guess that is it for now. Getting more :tea: Would anyone like a cup?

Hi Linda S! Did you get a lot of work done yesterday? Starting this week a bit less "cluttered", I hope.
When do your kids get out of school? We still have another month to go, a bit less when you factor in Finals.

Hi Adryane! eep-- laundry-- I started a load yesterday, but forgot all about it. Need to do that before work today.

Laurie- I have to go back and check out how your dance party was, bet it was fantastic!!!!


Phyllis- WTG on a good night's sleep! Sorry that it is still in the recliner, but whatever works, right?
You got lots of stuff done too. I hope that the weather is better next week than it has been the past few weeks here.

Laurie- I have been in scrap-drought too. I have been scrapping 1-2 pages a week but I am not liking them.... Hope that the mojo comes back to all of us-- esp Phyllis!

Trudy- get that sleep now!! LOL I love what Linda S said about memories.... Can't wait to here when the Big One comes :hug:


love to all!!

Morning Chris- I must report last week was so stressful for me that I stopped my am exercise, and I have not picked it back up yet- please hold me accountable tomorrow. I am so happy to be getting back to normal foods for me today as well. That should help. I have however found my lost mojo- but scrapped two pages and accidentally named them the same and overwrote one- guess I will redo it tonight. I have a fairly clean house and that is helping my energy and I have continued to work on my garden. I need to take pictures. I have been thinking of doing a summer bucket list- except I don't get time off in the summer- but maybe it will help my head realize I can still get things done even if I do it around my work schedule - aka you do not have to come home and veg after work you can actually do something!!! Okay long winded guess after that brain dump, I should get back to getting ready to go to work!!

Good morning O's.

Chris, so very glad to hear that you rested. Tell your mom that we appreciate her.


Laurie, sorry that stress took you out of your morning exercise routine. Hope that you are right back at it tomorrow. We will ask.

Almost ready for summer. The kids get out at noon next Monday. They are really doing nothing but playing now. Don't know how useful the last week is. Anyway, Syd has soccer tonight if it doesn't rain it out. Lots of rain in this week's forecast so don't know how much soccer will happen. Two more weeks and we are finished. Swimming practice and basketball camps start next week.

Hope Trudy gets that grandbaby today!

And I forgot the biggest news of all...I scrapped 3 pages yesterday! WooHoo!

 

[LSlycord]

Oh...and the other big news...check out my post count...I'm back in the lead. And my goal is to stay there. ;-)

14 and half hours the first night I was there

Chris, actually WHOOPED when i read that. good for you!! and hugs to your sweet Mom for making it possible. you know, there's something nicer about a book, blanket and blaze than swimming in the lake or basking in the sun. at least that's what i think!

Laurie, get back to your exercise routine. i think i lose a few ounces every time i READ about it!!

Linda, i don't think i EVER scapped 3 pages in a day. ever. hopefully i'll come back from vacation with some desire to get something "on paper."

Trudy, any BABY yet?? this is so exciting!

today it's grocery shopping and lots of errands. in the rain....

have a happy, non -soggy Tuesday!

 

[Alegna]

So great you got some wel deserved and needed rest Chris!
I hope you can get an appointment for Cait with her therapist!

Laurie I hope you have a less stressful week now and you can get back in your exercise routine!

You're right Linda, the last days before vacations they don't really do a lot at school. Great you got 3 pages scrapped!

Yuck rain Phylis? Not nice, we've got sun but I believe it's the last day and then we get rain here to

Today Luc and Nik are on a schooltrip to a big in- and outdoor playground. At first they didn't want to go because they would miss mommy but when their teachter told them they would get fries and an ice cream they forgot about missing me quick
Wes always eat a bit special at school on Tuesdays, so when Ben came home for lunch I made bread with baked eggs and we eat 2 icecreams. So nice to have him home alone for once and spoil him a bit.
Now time to sit for a bit and then I have to do dishes and then it's time to pick up the kids at school again.

have a great day!

Good morning hope everyone had a lovely Memorial day weekend. We had a beautiful day yesterday. Our town holds a Memorial Day parade with all the school bands, and then the town council, all the fire trucks and old cars and motorcycles, and the best is the all the kids as brownies, cubscouts, baseball players and the parents. So remember those who served while seeing all these kids makes for a great start for the holiday. Then came home mowed the lawn while my hubby steam cleaned the carpets. After I mowed he put down weed killer. Then the family had group time and we watched Jack Reacher which I have to say was a really good movie. Then BBQed pork chops and pasta and finally finishing up the day with hockey! WOW for me two game 7s.

Chris so glad your mom and dad took such good care of you! If you slept that long you really needed it! And yes it was too cold in NJ Sat and Sun.

Laurie sorry your job in interfering with your exercise. Eating better has to help.

Linda and Angela I remember those days where school was in but vacation loomed and how distracted the kids are. In NJ school is not out until the end of June so almost a month to go.

Phylis we are getting your rain later today. Hope your rain is not too bad as you get your errands done.

Trudy has the baby arrived yet?

Have a great day all!
