Guess who's been up all night! Yep, me! I've been working as Jolie's assistant while she tried to get everything done. Poor kid - what a night. She didn't get everything just the way she wanted it, but I think she got more done than she thought she could, so that's a good thing. Word of advice to all of you still attending school - don't get a stomach virus and miss the week before finals - turns out it's no fun to do that.
The good news is that I've been glugging and pacing off and on all night - my new workout regime! LOL I'm hitting the hay right after Jolie leaves for school. I hope she can stay awake through her finals.
How was your Thirstday, Buddies? Are you feeling gluggeriffic?
Have a wonderful Friday!

Oh Karen! I'm so sorry for you and Jolie! Poor thing! I hope she does well with her finals and you're getting some much needed rest.
Todd and I had a very scary night last night. It was pretty windy all night before we went to sleep. Around 4 o'clock though the wind and rain really picked up and we had all our windows open...so we scattered to take the fans out of the windows and shut them all. And then Todd ran out to the patio to go pull in the last fan and we were both facing the same wall to outside- he was on the patio, I was in the bedroom and all of a sudden a bolt of lightning hit the tree RIGHT OUTSIDE!! The apartment shook, every car alarm went off...it was scary! At first I thought it hit Todd and I went running through the apartment scared out of my mind- screaming to him like a maniac...but he was fine, just REALLY shook up! It scared me so bad because he was so scared he sorta fell to the ground and was not answering me at first! It scared the cr@p outta us! It took a long time for us to be able to fall back asleep!
Anyways, today is Friday, praise the Lord. And seriously thank God that nothing scarier happened last night!! Got lots to do today! Work + clean + grocery shopping, etc...ugh! But at least the weather should calm down a bit.
Hope everyone has a great friday!
Oh, you poor things! I hope you get some rest and Jolie is able to stay awake during her finals. Poor child!
Not much going on here today...still taking it easy. TGIF, that's for sure!!!! I may clean the living room carpet...it is filthy. The problem is what do I do with the kids while it's wet? They've both had baths and are clean...do I just let them walk on it and have fun? Keeping them off would be impossible!!!! I don't know what to do...it really needs to be cleaned and it is driving me crazy! I think I'll put up the baby gate and let us be in the kitchen and playroom...that's really all we need. We'll see...
Anyway, that's it from windy, stormy Minnesota. I still can't believe Ruth is camping in this weather...I hope they're ok! :)
big hugs to all!

Oh man, how scary!!! We got a few good bolts last night too...it is scary!!!
TGIF...and take it easy, ok. Don't do too much!
BTW...glad *hot toddy* was ok,
~Dawn
Ooh, nice clean carpet sounds so worth it!!
I've heard that if you walk on it, use white socks and you're fine! But change the socks if you come back into the room from another room.
Although walking on wet carpet doesn't sound like fun...but I guess I'm not 3 ;)
I'm glad he's ok too! It really shook us up!!
Florida is lightning capital of the states, and yet I've never been so close to a strike EVER!! Scared the bejezus outta us! And the poor kitties too. They were on the patio watching the storm and they had no idea what to do after that!!
I will definitely be taking it easy tonight though- I need an easy night ;)
Good Morning and TGIFriday, though I still have to work this weekend, but I get a break from mr crabby pants...lol
Blessings, Candi
Ya, I did clean it. The kids were surprisingly good...didn't have to lock them out at all. They sat on the couch and mostly watched. Now I have a fan going in the living room to help dry it and Emily is playing Super Model in it...LOL, she's so cute! She also has all of her BIG My Little Pony's out and it letting the fan blow their hair as well. She thinks it's pretty cool. Aiden is napping so that helps.
It looks a bazillion times better, though, so it was worth it!
Man, it is so windy and stormy out there I still can't believe Ruth is camping. I am so worried about them, LOL. I hope they are actually at home now. I'm nervous in my house, couldn't imagine camping in this stuff!
~Dawn
I'm glad it's done and looks better.
I'm saying a prayer for Ruth right now.
Keep safe! We're in the Twin Cities and we're getting it too. Yikes...scary stuff! (well, to me it is, we moved here from S. California where all we had to worry about there were earthquakes and fires, LOL!)
Congrats on your weight loss...that is awesome!

I got a cookie at lunch... one of the big bakery ones. I didn't pay for it cause it was part of my work's celebration for someone - but - whoops! My lunch was gunna be really healthy too... it's just, it was chocolate chip and I hadn't had one in months... :-(
Oh well though, I'll just find a way to burn it off hopefully!
Today is a much nicer day despite the storms last night. If this lasts we might not be flooded any worse, which is great cause the water is getting very close to some of my roads to work. Oh and gas is down today which I find very good since I'll have to be filling up soon.
Besides the happy sun-rays, I'm down for some strange reason this afternoon. Maybe it's cause I work by myself and it's nice outside and I should be with people or at least outside, but I'm not... or maybe it's cause I read one of those really cute, awww stories this morning and now i'm all, why the heck doesn't that happen in real life?
