Good morning everyone. Once again a major snow has passed us. As soon as a chicken hits the farm I'm sure we'll have lots
Miss P
Guess who's up "with the chickens' this morning and running on a max of about 2 1/2 hours sleep. No, it's not because last night was filled with passionate fireworks and I'm running on adrenaline. Oh, it started out well enough, but at the most inopportune time Rob arrived home. Thankfully, the dogs announce everyone's arrival to the neighborhood, so we ended up looking like a cartoon in fast forward, knowing full well the first place he'd head was our room!! So much for L'Amour... At least I got a rain check. ;-) Guess I'll have to cook chicken again.
We both had a difficult time going to sleep, so it was close to 2 before he dozed off and well after 2 before I did. I kept waking up thinking about the alarm going off at 5, so I'd be sure Rob was up to get to MEPS in time and to fix him breakfast before he went. I was up 5 minutes before the alarm went off and went back to bed at 5:45, but by then I was wide awake. I tried to go back to sleep, but couldn't, so I got back up to do the dishes and make some hot tea, check out the news on the internet, and stuff like that.
Today's my day to go to the nursing home. I'm going to go early, because I'd like to get away in time to go downtown to hear Rudy Guiliani speak rather than to hear just select sound bites on TV. He's speaking at the Veterans' Memorial Wall by our arena. If I can time it right, I can get from there to Zumba by 6:30. I'll just wear a patriotic shirt today and switch to one with my sweat pants that I can dance in tonight. I'll take my dance sneakers too. With that in mind, I now have 2 sub-lingual B-12's under my tongue, hoping to have the energy to do it all with almost no sleep. Ah, the 50's, what a lovely stage of life. LOL!
Patty, those chocolate chocolate chip muffins are by Ghiradelli and are very easy and better than they should be. I should know better than to have them in the house.
I caught our Hoodini kitty in the garage last night and put her in our room, then

Yes Patty, I have to admit that I wanted to hear the joke, too. Rhonda, you can mail it here, too, if you want...but remember I'm impressionable as well...we'll skip the young part.

Hello everyone and welcome to tuesday.
Lori
Good Morning,
Quick post this morning. I had a 7:30AM appointment with the gastro doctor and the wait in the waiting room was a little longer than usual for the early AM. But everything is OK and I've graduated to going every 4 months instead of 3 months.
Had to stop at Dunkin Donuts for a cup of caffeine and just finished a quick bowl of cereal as the appointed hour for the paying world is looming ahead.
After some ice on the windshield this morning and kind of dark and gloomy looking it seems that the sun is now shining and blue skies have appeared.
Down to the basement for a visit with the treadmill and my weights. Trying my best to keep the groove going!
Better the clock is ticking. Hope everyone that's been under the weather is feeling better. Margo congratulations on the new job! Rhonda-what can I say-kids! Hope you can get a better night's sleep tonight! Have a great day everyone!

(Ok, to be honest I'm alone a lot so that laughing thing can be a bit scary but still....)
I have a colleague who sometimes walks into our kitchen hearing me laugh at something.
Judy
Check-in and good morning, all at once!
It wasn't a warm and cozy night at home - but it was at the hotel where we stayed overnight!
Donna
Good morning everyone......it is a gray day here. Lots of lazy people, dreary weather and low key nothing. Although Bill did get up and head to the shop he was running behind. I know I poked him at 6:30 but he did not move until 7:15. Rob was next but you might as well be waking the dead. He finally got up at 9:00 and headed to work around 9:30, however he is home now. He said his boss was not busy and did not need him today so I am going to fix him something to eat then he will run to my bank for me and make a deposit. Katie is on the couch watching TV, she had some tea and a waffle and her medicine. Her cough is horrible but no fever this morning. Billy is still sleeping, I guess the 5 days of driving caught up. Boss already called but his first words were to ask how Katie was feeling. Then he asked if I needed him to anything on my files??? What is up with that? My washer and dryer are going and I think the shower is next. Katie has a book report to work on that needs to be handed in tomorrow and she is going to school tomorrow, lol. That rounds out my excitement............real party here!
Patty it is nice that you were able to go along with your sister for her test. Does thyroid problems run in the family? My mom and grandmother had problems with their thyroid and I grasped at straws hoping that was the reason for my fatigue but nope, just age, weight, stress....you know the drill. Enjoy your girl friend time, sounds like a nice day. Good luck with your CL purchases......improving the business is good and alway a postive when it makes your work easier. And poor Rick wants s#x...........what is that man thinking, lol!
Rhonda you really cracked me up when you mentioned the timing of your childs arrival. We have finally given up and now I find it best to set a clock. I have to say by 9:00 I have trouble keeping awake let alone being in the mood for anything besides a pillow. At that hour we never know who is coming or going, plus with an old house the kids bedrooms are right next to ours and we share a bathroom. So now we set the clock for 5:00.....have some fun then go back to sleep for an hour or two.........sad. Although I must say the kids usually do not bother us when they see our bedroom door closed unless its the middle of the day but after 9:00 if they door is closed I notice they just go into their own space. I watched the dancing show with Katie, it was good. Not sure if I would cry if I missed an episode, nothing like DWTS or American Idol.
Nancy, sorry you had such a late night. I missed something but I thought you said you were going to be gone an entire month. Is that right? I know you said you were getting ready for a cruise, when do you actually leave and where do you sail out of? I never heard of detox foot pads either, what do they do? Hope work goes quickly for you today!
Lori I hope your tummy feels better. Nothing worse then a bad belly at work. The hot tub mention sounds good, we have one at our gym but I have not used it yet. Maybe this weekend? Great job with your teaching too. Still doing that weekly comute though? How is your new car doing?
Susan such an early doctor appointment, I guess it went well if they moved you from 3 months to 4 months for a check up. I hope you have a good day at the office. Don't work too hard. Did you get that tree out this weekend and did "H" clean that bathroom as promised?
Listen Judy if we can not laugh at our selves..........well you know what I mean. I laugh when I am alone too. We all do it, a thought pops into our minds, or we read something. Hope you get that walk in today. I am trying to decide if I want to do anything since I am home today, lame excuse I know. Sounds like you had a busy night last night........dinner out and groceries. At least you had help.
Donna, yuck! All that weather up by you. Lucky your pipes did not freeze and burst. That would have been my biggest fear. Glad you were able to get a room so you had a warm bed and a hot shower. Glad your power came back on too. Hey if you only took your food out of the freezer yesterday with these temps it should be fine tonight. I hope your power stays on today.
Well by the time I post this who knows who else will have posted to please forgive me. I will check back later. I think I need to head upstairs to make my bed and then do one of my exercise tapes for 30 minutes. Have a great day everyone..........time to motiviate myself and this family.
