Good morning ladies!!
I am sleepy. I have been really bad about going to bed at bedtime lately. Unfortunately, since I don't homeschool like the magnificent Sally I don't get to start my day at 10 and have to wake up when it is dark. If only I had realized that benefit of staying home with the kids and homeschooling I may have rethought it. Schooling may go a little later in the day...but you get to get up at 10 some days. You can't beat that. And once in awhile you even get to take a nap. Granted you have to be motivated and disciplined and go back to school yourself...but still...I am tired right now so it sounds like an awesome idea. I'm all about instant gratification at the moment.
So, today I am taking lunch to an older lady from my church. She's a very sweet lady and I really don't mind. I have decided though that I have to drop the ministry though and I am very very sad about it. I do love it but a big part of it is making lots and lots of phone calls like telemarketing almost and that part I hate and it gives me anxiety really bad and I just can't do it. So, I need to step down and hope that they are able to find somebody better suited for it, although I still want to help with it. I just can't lead it. Plus with working full time I can't do the fill in if I can't fill in the slots. I'm very sad about it and the decision didn't come lightly. But I have to do what I have to do, ya know. It just stinks to have to decide anything. I really wanted it to work out.
Chris - Of course we missed you. We all sat around here crying and pouting all weekend long hoping you were having a good time but not knowing what to do with out you. Okay not really. You were missed but our lives did go on of course. I'm so glad you got some rest and were able to relax and not be worried about the fam. I hope today's craziness isn't too overwhelming and take away all the effects of the weekend. Let us know how things went. You're in my prayers today.
LindaS - so I'm still a hater and still not talking to you!! Blah blah blah! You go and enjoy that sunshine tomorrow and those friends and all that. I don't care if I'll be there in 137 days because I am not there now and you are so we can't be friends until we are both back in miserable weather together again. So phooey on youey!!
I hope you guys have an absolute blast and have a very safe flight. Make sure to have an el diablo night or whatever they are called and remember none of it for us. Also...will you please grab some brochures for me from the hotel and some local attractions so that you can mail them to me when you get back...in particular...Cyn's resort and the zip line park. Anything else you find interesting would be great also. I would really appreciate it. I can send you my address in a pm later. Have a blast. I can't wait until we are there. we'll only be there for a day but it will be awesome none the less.
LindaW - Good luck today with both babies. I'm sure it will go smoothly. I can't imagine it going any other way at Nana's house. Sounds like the date went well. Of course you ended up at the grocery store. my DH and I would have too and it would have been fun. We always end up someplace sill like that and we always have a good time anyway. Usually we are in a good mood and end up being silly and therefore do silly stuff when we are at the store so it is fun and not like regular grocery shopping, even if we are buying tp, eggs and milk. The pumpkin patch sounds awesome. How fabulous to not have to deal with hoardes of people. That is awesome. That would be heaven for me.
Kat - you had the flu? Awwww!! That stinks. I have been pretty good about missing it so far. We shall see how it goes.
Andrea - Poor you with the flu and two kids and no hubby to help out. You don't need to have a pity party. I'll do it for you so that you can just move right on along. You are one tough cookie. I would be a mess and you don't even go there. You are my hero!! But I'm a big fat cry baby and you're not.
Awesome job on the WW plan. I keep meaning to and just never do it. I'm just lazy and like to eat and don't want to make a change but like to be sad that I don't look how I want. It is pretty lame if I do say so myself. I'm going on a cruise in 137 days so I really need to do something. Getting off my butt really needs to happen quickly. Ugh!! Go Andrea!! Go!!
Dianne - I am like that too. I'll stay up all night long but I have to get up early so it doesn't work out so well for me. It is not good. Sounds like it will be a nap type of day while your dh is gone. Enjoy the late night scrapping while he is gone though. That is weird that not all of your daughters will have school off. Our district has the day off for all the ages for conferences which is nice for parents. It will be nice when my kids are in different schools.
Well, have a great day everyone. Ciao.
