  • Mornin' All!

    YEAH, we're getting our taxes done today!! LOL, funny that I'm excited about that.

    Have a great day all!
  • Good morning!

    We are off to clean out our old rental - if we get it clean this weekend, they might be able to rent it for March and we can bypass the final rent payment! We had to pay through March because people typically don't move in the winter here and the mgmt. blocks out those months for someone to get out of their lease.

    We are dropping DS off at his godmother's and off to clean.

    Joan - I did get to spend about 48 hours with DH alone. It was the first time we were both away from DS at the same time overnight. We had a good time. DH rented a sportscar and we drove to Sedona to test it out; had a a really good, long dinner at fancy place (without interruptions!from child!). Thanks for asking...

    OK - I am to get a workout in before we go to clean. Have a great day everyone!
  • morning all...i had a great sleep in...it was nice to be lazy and not get up until 8.30. I was very tired. Now i'm just doing a bit of emails, then i'm going to walk the dog and then go ride the pony. Got wine tasting later this afternoon with DH. Hope everyone has a great day.
  • I was just reading through yesterday's thread and some of you are really dealing with awful weather. I hope it is better today.

    Yesterday, was awful. My kiddos were crazy. I don't know what there problem was. We actually had to use a restraint yesterday and we haven't had to do that in months. On top of it my prinicipal informed me I have to move rooms again. This will be my fourth move this year and my seventh since I started at the school. This is only my third year at the school. I feel like I should never put anything on the walls because in a few months I will be moving. I joke that I just want to try every room out. My goal this weekend is not to worry about it till Tuesday when I go back.

    We don't have much planned. I think we are going to go get haircuts for my DH and DS. Probably hit the grocery store to.

    Have a nice one!!

  • Good morning ladies!!

    Well, Today the roads are clear and there is still a few inches of snow on the ground, kiddos can't wait to get out and play. I have two loads of laundry left, then off to deliver a cake. DH is planning on building the stage today...Cadence can't wait. Other than that, not much going on this weekend (which is nice). We are talking about going to Punta Cana for our 10th anniversary this November...not entirely sure if we are going to do it becuase we are planning to take the kids to DisneyWorld next February, so it's a lot of money in a short abmount of time, but DH really wants to go, so we probably will. Has anyone ever been to Punta Cana?? I'll tell you what, it's a real motivator!! We haven't been anywhere except the Jersey shore or the Poconos (both local to us) since our honeymoon, so it would be really awesome to go. We'll see...

    Dawn, sounds like you had a very romantic time with your DH...so nice to get away from the kids every now & then, isn't it? Have fun cleaning today!

    GG...enjoy your day off. Never did a wine tasting...went to a winery before and tasted a few, but it was only like 15 mins, not a big deal. My gf once took her husband on a winery tour for his bday... there are lots of them around here...they loved it!

    Jasimine, sorry about your work...sounds like it's really rough. HOpe things smooth out & you can get a permanent room!!

    Joan, that's a shame that you had to postpone your surgery! It's amazing how many readings/tests they take, isn't it? They will do a whole bunch when you go in for the surgery, too...at least they did for me.
    Wait till you see how awesome it is though. I'm so excited for you!! BTW...I haven't had pigs in a blnaket since I was a kid..sounds yummy!!

    Alicia..hope you have fun this weekend, and hope DH gets osme stuff done for you!! Is everyone feeling better??

    Lauren, glad you got the fingerprinting in. Did the weather clear out by the afternoon for you? It was pretty good by about 1pm here. Roads were very clear by 4pm. Oh, and I have 10 miles this week

    Lisa, woo...get some rest, girl!! Hope you are liking the job!!

    Hanna, heather, trish, danger, nicci, nikki, everyone else, have a great day!! Off to the showers, then to deliver at noon. Dh is going to Depot to get his materials...i can't wait!!

    Talk later!!

  • Uggg! I just woke up about a half hour ago. (I went to bed right after posting last night) I must have really needed the sleep. I wish I didn't have to go in today, my hours are 4p - 9:15p. It almost isn't worth it.

    For those of you who have asked: I do love my job. It can be frustrating when employees don't do what you ask them. I have one that is a total space cadet. (actually I think there is more to it than that.) She actually told me that she and her husband are engaged, even though they are already married.

    Jasmine, there was a full moon on Thursday and a lunar eclipse. That might be why you had to restrain a student.

    Well off to eat brunch, I will be back later.

  • Quote: Duck-I have been painting my condo for the last few days. Don't forget to stretch your arms really well after your done painting. My arms have been shrieking with every stroke of the brush today.
    ooh that is a good idea!! I will do that after this post because I am tiiiiiiired and sore!!!

    Good luck with painting your condo!!!

    Quote:
    Duck ~ you are a hoot! Your posts crack me up. Good luck breaking up the relationship with your couch:-).
    Thanks!!!

    I finally got my butt away from the couch!

    Quote: DaDuck - have fun painting...if your butt breaks up with the couch so that you can leave.
    WEEE! It did!!! And it missed the couch


    and I have pictures!!!

    Look MAW!! I's kain paaaaint!


    Peeeeace Homies!


    This one could be considered insulting soooooo if you are offended easily then don't click. It is our salute to the second painting crew who didn't bother to show up and replace us. The tall guy hiding behind the paint brush is my boyfriend.

    AAAAAND MY TOAST!!!

  • Howdy all. We were very productive today. We went to the grocery store bright and early to get it out of the way. Then we took the kids to see Dan Zanes. It was a great concert. It was just long enough, girlie was beginning to get grumpy when it was over. Alex got to get his picture taken with Dan and got his autograph on the DVD that we bought. He was excited.

    I'm off to try and catch up on the laundry that has gotten away from me this week.
  • evening all...today as pretty good. I did walk my dog for 55 min. I didn't get to ride my horse however, it rained so hard the last few days, that when i got out to the farm, the area where i ride had horrible footing. I was concerned about my horse reinjuring his hip. But i did groom and play with him some. The wine tasting was nice...has several good wines. Then dh and i wandered around the historic square of marietta looking at the shops. We then ran some errands. Tonight we are planning to go for dessert at a local coffee shop that has live music tonight.

    Daduck - the toast is cool..and bf is a cutie.
    hey to everyone else. Hope everyone is doing well.
  • Evening all. Hope everyone's weekend is going well. We spent some time mattress shopping (yuck!) and then getting the good old taxes done, bought a new purse (what is it about purses that makes me so happy?). Anyways, I did pick up a new pedometer and some exercise things, now I need to just use them! I'm off on Monday and can't wait...little man will be at school, husband at work...yay me!!! I can actually exercise and maybe accomplish something.

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

  • Hey Hey Chicks,

    DH and I went shopping today for my Recumbent Bike and didn't find the one I was looking for and I went to get some perfume from Eddie Bauer at the mall only to find that they had closed their doors--Forever. I don't want to say that it was a nonproductive day because we did have good quality time together w/o any kids which allowed me to talk dirty to him the whole way home and, well, all I can say was it wasn't a total loss for the day. I'm going to look at Indy or Louisville later this week for my perfume and a bike, either way its 2 1/2 hrs from home but that the next closest Eddie stores. Bummer!

    GG, so glad you've got some time to unwind, taste some wine for me.

    Duck, hope the paintings over soon, I spent 3 months painting the boys basement and my neck and shoulders were killing me. What part of So. IN are you from? LOVE the toast!!

    Lauren, be postive, you sound like you're getting down, don't go there.
    I had 17 miles this week, I'm getting it together.

    Everyone else, have a great weekend, whats left of it anyway, I probably won't check back til Monday I've got a busy Sun ahead of me, I know I'll have no time for chat. Be Strong Chicks!
  • I worked today...only did two tax returns. The rest of the time I played online. I really need to start exercising....I just have no motivation to do so!

    Some of the ice melted today.....I'm sick of winter. I can't wait for warm weather then I can get out and walk!
  • Hello all,

    Lauren, put me down for 3 miles. I need to do more ~ I am just soo tired after work.

    Will check in tomorrow.
