Good Morning!

I am home today with DD- she is running a fever and says her head and ears hurt. We can't get into the doctor until this afternoon- so for now we are "chilling out" as she puts it. We had a rough night, but she seems to be doing better this morning.

We had a nice Easter- pretty low key. We went to church and then to brunch with the in-laws. Home by abut 2:30 and got to have some fmaily time for the rest of the day. We don't get that often, so it was nice!

Yesterday was the first day of my last trimester! Woohoo! I cannot complain, as this pregnancy has been just as healthy and uneventful as my last. My goal is to to hit 200 lbs- but I am not sure that is going to happen. At least I know I can get it off!!

Have a super day all!

Laurie ~ CONGRATS ON THE PAPER!!!! CONGRATS ON THE PAPER!!!!!CONGRATS ON THE PAPER!!!!! And yes - I do see ya'll holding out hands. I'm glad for that as I need all the UMPH I can get right now. Especially with all of Rayney's Easter candy hangin around the house That child got FOUR - count em - FOUR Easter Baskets - One from me and DH, one our oldest daughter (Rayneys Biological mom), one from MY mom and one from my sister. EEEEKKKKK!!!! I threw away most of the chocolate as she won't eat it. (thank God for that)!! But all the Reeses peanut butter eggs and Smarties are still there (my downfalls too). So - instead of hands - how bout a FORKLIFT?????

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO!!!!! Hope you and DH have a great time - you've earned it!! How sweet of him to take you "somewhere" AND bake!!!! WHAT A GUY!!

Kiko ~ Congrats on the baby. I'm he/she is sure to be happy and healthy. Good Luck!

Kiko, so good to see you! Sorry DD isn't feeling well but I hope you and she enjoy this last chance for some mommy & me time, as that baby will be here before you know it! So glad that you are having a healthy, happy pregnancy!!!

Kelly, you sweetheart! so much for the lovely wishes! Yes, DH is a keeper.

One forklift coming up!!! Give those eggs to DH to take to work or eat...I know I couldn't resist them!

Laurie...The window boxes were already here. Their liner is dirt! lol The previous owners built the planters though. It should not be hard at all. Just plant right in the boxes. Hope this helps! That sun was really beatin down on me out there! I have one planter left. I will do it when I get back from takin the girls before I have to get back for the game.

Glad to see more chattin goin on in here! I gotta jet the girls are waiting!

Oh dear! HArry and I just went to the Library and for a lovely spring drive through the back roads. Then he forced me to stop for ice cream! Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! 320 calories of a junk ice cream bar! Alas!

Bamie, thanks for writing in! Doesn't the dirt and water rot the wood, though? That's why we thought we needed a liner. Are there holes in the bottom for drainage, too? Sorry it was so hot, but let me tell you, a little heat would feel good around here. It's been holding steady at 36 degrees! Brrrr....

Ah, Ruthie! Harry should know better...he doesn't need that ice cream either! You just jump on that treadmill and work it off, okay? :

Happy birthday Laurie The big 30! Can we trade?

Raneysmom - throw that candy away! It isn't good for kids either! DS got a remote controlled truck and the Incredibles dvd and one tiny bag of jelly beans that have been gone since Easter. He swears he heard the Easter bunny.

The truck is all packed and ready to go! I got most of my work done! I just completed cleaning the hamster condo - just a few things left to do and we are almost out of here. Bami - I should be flying by Huntsville at around 4 pm. If you feel good Karma coming your way it's from me! I'll be sending out good vibes.

I hope to check in sometime before leaving tomorrow. Weigh in and check in. See ya!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURIE.....Hope you had a great day. (wink)

Laurie....I'm not real sure. They used what looks like 2x4's in the bottom and left a lil space between them. They do not appear to be rotting. (yet) But I figure it would take a long time. You could just line them with landscaping plastic if you wanted?

Well I did not get the last box planted today! DD left her shorts at home and Samantha left her shin guards at her house so by the time I got done running them there was not really enough time to come back before game time! I'll get them in the morning.

Anchor....I'll be wavin as you roll on by. We'll miss ya while your gone!

Ruth...Oh ice cream...I have been fightin food all day today! I'm really havin a hard time right now. Just so many things goin on and I am dealin with it in the wrong ways! Time to straighten up!

I gotta jet The Amaging Race is on!

If I hurry, I can still post while it is Tuesday. Can you tell it has been a busy day? I've already put one patch in tonight and am waiting on one more developer. This work will get easier, someday, maybe....

Laurie Congratulation on both your birthday and finishing the paper. That is just wonderful news.

Kiko - Sorry to hear about your daughter. I'm hoping she is better tomorrow.

Me - I obviously didn't make it to Pilates tonight. I ended up cooking Mu Shu Pork while going back and forth between my laptop and the stove. I did take a break to read Brian a story before bed. He likes it much better that way.
