I was in a hurry cuz I had to work that nite ( last nite)till 3:30 am,well i was tired and REALLY needed a nap, BUT my oldest son comes to us w/ the info that there was a meeting at the high school LAST week about playing JV foot-ball for the school and he didnt get ANY of the forms and had to have a physical by 8 :30 THIS ( Monday) morning..well ..I started calling around and found a kid who had the forms I thought I could xerox them..now its 5:30 in the afternoon..I get to their house..look at the forms--THEY are all colored differently--one is a 6 page folder--2 were sma ll cards--one which had to also be NOTARIZED by THIS morning ( TODAY)--well, i went home. meanwhile DH is all over town looking for a walk-in clinic that isnt SLAMMED w/ people to get his physical..He returns hours later--slip in hand..at that time I am getting ready for work..KNOWING that i will get home around 3;30 am and have to get UP at 6:30 to go to the school--find ALL the forms get them filled out--find a notary..at work I was on eggshells ..I was so over -tired from the week-end w/ MOM and dealing w/ my sons screw-up..well i slipped and had a couple of butts/BUT NO MORE!!!Anyhow, I just got home from the school ( meanwhile my youngest son was w/ me and was afraid HE would be late for school after MOM runs all over like a chicken w/ her head cut off w/ no sleep to speak of) BUT to make a looong story short.. the forms were in the school office.. my son and I filled them out like mad..then the office lady NOTARIZED them..GOD BLESS HER!!I got him packing off to 1st period w/ 5 minutes to spare..then took my youngest to HIS elementary school..SIGH>>>.I am home..gonna TRY to get back to bed and SLEEP>ZZZZZZZZZ niters...Mel

Hey Mel,

I am exhaused just reading what you wrote, LOL

Sounds way too busy for me

Thank goodness you made it through the weekend with your Mom .. whew!

Love those forms the kids need to fill out that first week of school ..

Or that the school sends home for the parents to fill out

So you made it all work out for your son .. being the *perfect* Mom you are

Now onto some Mel time .. Catch up on your sleep so you can move on to the *next*

As for the butt .. over and done with .. You are smokefree *just for today* ..

You're doing great .. keep up the good work hon :)

Hope you have a *quiet* day least til you get the boys

~Hugs~

well i slipped and had a couple of butts/BUT NO MORE!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is OK, Mel....I had a feelin' the pub might get ya, and yup, it did:)

Remember H.A.L.T.?? Don't be Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired.......

you fit into the "tired" category BIG TIME!



It was just a slip, that's all. Keep that 8/6 quit date, and keep

that vision/sound of your Mom chain-smoking & hackin' that nasty

smoker's cough & YOU WILL DO THIS!!!!! xoxo stel

Mel, you deserve a crown for all you did! I do hope you are sleeping now! My goodness, I got exhausted just reading all that. I can't believe you actually accomplished getting the check up and the forms done. Quite amazing! Look at that determination to get it all done.

Aww I'm sorry on your slip but as you say "NO MORE". Keep the thought that you have 5 days when you didn't smoke, use that determination you have and keep adding onto those. :) You can do it!

~Golly

Actually it was MORE angry than tired at work..But i was in such a BAD mood probably cuz i was tired. Andrew is trying out for JV high-school football today. PLEASE pray he makes it. He is still in a private "paid" league but all the kids are trying out for the school..we will just have to "eat" the $$ we paid for his Dolphin league if he makes ot on the high school team. I hope his heart doesnt get broken...xoxo mel
