Kat, that is very exciting news. I know this has been a very important issue you have dealt with. Too bad it took them so long to pass it. Ok, I lied. I didn't clean the dining room.Hubby and I went outside and worked. We got the pile of dead branches all cut up and stacked. We trimmed trees and got that all cut and stacked. Then I mowed again. I mowed over where the pile had been and then I went around the perimeter and mulched some more leaves. It took us about an hour and a half. Had lunch and now getting ready to go back into work.

Kat, I'm so sorry that things have changed and that you won't be able to see the boys. I know you were so looking forward to it. Hopefully a new solution will come up and you will be able to go. Home from work and trying to decide what I want to get done around the house today. Then I have to go back to work this afternoon. I'm thinking the dining room is going to get a good cleaning.

Well, if I was ging to blow it, I could see me doing it eating roasted marshmallows. Love those things. But you know what? It's done and over with and you will be fine. Learn from this mistake.

I'm still doing nothing...........

Ashley, years ago I went with my sister's to a ball tournament for my niece. That meant we had t share a room at the motel. Well, my older sister was horrible. None of us got any sleep. So we went to Wal-Greens and bought some stuff that you spray in the mouth. Seriously, We had to check several times to see if she was even breathing, she was so quiet. I don't remember the name of it but it was a spray. I think they also had drops. Hubby and I mowed the lawn and got all of the leaves taken care of. We ran the leaf blower for a long time. My nose was so clogged with guck. Came in and took a sponge bath and washed my hair. Now I have to dry it. Doing nothing for the rest of the day, maybe. I still want to get the linen closet done. Maybe I'll do it while hubby is taking his nap.

Home from Church and getting caught up on Football. Someone brought all the makings for Taco Salad. We weren't going to eat but ended up eating anyway. It tasted so good. So when I got home I put dinner away. We'll eat it tomorrow. I got the front hall closet cleaned out today. Wanted to make sure that all of our winter stuff was ready to go. I certainly don't need anymore mufflers. Got out coats all lined up. Tomorrow I think I will work on the linen closet and get it in order. Kat, I hope you get a good nights sleep and wake up feeling so much better. Happy Birthday Zach. Hope it was a nice one.

Good Sunday Morning. I was hoping that the extra hour we got I would spend it sleeping. Well, that didn't happen. Been a busy little bee this morning. Doing lots of little stuff that just needs to get done. Last night my friend from High School called and we were on the phone for over 2 hours. We laughed so much. It was a lot of fun talking to her. Wish we lived closer. Football day here. I love Sundays. Deb, keep to your guns. You have every right to play. Hang in there. Kat, hope you get to feeling better and that it's not what hubby and I had a few weeks ago. That was yucky. Have a great day.

Our closest K-Mart is about 12 miles away. I miss the one that was only 2 miles away. They closed it about 6 years ago. The guy who usually brings our firewood stopped by the other day. His transmission is out.So this morning Hubby and I drove back to his place and picked up a truck load of Oak. The three of us loaded it and then we came home and my younger sis helped us unload. It's all stacked and ready to go. I did pretty good with the cast. I weebled a little at one point but I did my share of work. Now it's off to go take my sponge bath and then get my hair washed in the kitchen sink. Good thing I have lots of practice doing it this way. Other than that the rest of the weekend should be a quiet one. Church and Football.

:eek: :tt2: WOOT-WOOT :eek2: :thumbup:

Here's my story; I got up at 4:30 this morning and wasn't happy that I couldn't take a shower. I did my usual routine and then left for work at 5:45. I did all my duties at work and even ran the sweeper. I got off work at 9:00 and headed to the grocery store to get some stuff that was on sale. I bring it home and put things away. I mess around for about 45 minutes and then take off to go meet my friend for lunch at Panera's. From there we went over to the dog park and walked around and let the doggie run for about a half hour. I came home and peeled chopped potatoes, onions and celery and made a big pot of potato soup. Boiled some eggs, sept the kitchen floor. Did a few other things around the house and then ran the sweeper......................And then I wonder why Darrell gets so mad at me. He actually believes that I should stay home and rest and put my casted foot up. When the Doc was putting it on, I looked at Darrell and made the statement that I wasn't going to let this get in my way. The Doc just laughed. How little he knows me. So now that everything is done, I'm sitting here in my chair with my shoe off and my feet up. Relaxing for the rest of the day. Kat, my cast allows me to move my ankle which makes walking a lot easier. So far no itching but if I do I will grab the flyswatter. Actually I had already thought that. I'll be glad when it's off so I can scrub my foot real good.

Hi Bethany. :frown:

Thanks Kat. I'm glad I'm not on crutches also. Last time I was on those I had problems with blisters and wrist problems. I hope everything goes well with the in-laws and that they don't have any troubles or cause any troubles. That is scary that they are trying to do it themselves.

I went to the grocery store and picked some stuff up for here and for my sister. Went to Wendy's and got her some lunch and then went to her place. I stayed for about 45 minutes and drove home to pick Hubby up so he could go to my Doc appointment with me. Good thing I got him to go. As you can see by the pictures. Severe Tendonitis with a possible stress fracture. A cast for 2 weeks. I'm scheduled to go back the day after my surgery. They will decide then if I need to be in one any longer. Ok, I'm laughing now. That's how I'm going to handle this. He gave me a choice of green or red. Well, it is Chief's season. Go Red.

Morning Peeps. It's our monthly Family Breakfast morning. I love going to these things. Then I'm off to my sisters to go take care of her bills. From there I will go to the Pediatrist to see what the heck is wrong with my foot. There is no such thing a peanut butter christmas trees...... Angela, Hopefully this new opputunity for your Dad is just wan he needs. Sorry that he lost in the elections, apparently it wasn't ment to be. Have a great day.

Evil Peanut Butter Pumpkins. Yes they are. But I'm glad to say that I only had 2 of them this season. It's the rest of the crap I had to deal with. lol. We got out of work early this evening. No surgeries going on. We made several rounds and made sure everyone had what they needed and then we headed home. Not till after we ate in the cafeteria. A nice hot bowl of chili. Now my tummy is gurgling. I have a long day of lots of running around to do tomorrow. I will post when I get the chance. Kat, I'm so sorry that your Aunt is like that. But you have to remember that you are doing it for your parents and not her. I know that easier said then done, I've been in that situation. Just make sure Mom is taken care of, that's your job. Tracy, Has Macy made up a Christmas list yet? One of the local stations started playing their Christmas music the day after Halloween. I turned it on for hubby this evening. He rolled his eyes and walked away. I agree. It's too early for that. I love Christmas music, just not this early.

Morning. Cindy. I like your hair both ways. My younger sister has a head full of spiral curls. They go almost half way down her back. I would love to have her hair and she would give anything to trade with me. Just called and made an appointment with the podiatrist for tomorrow. Need to find out what is going on with my foot. Not a busy day for me except to work at the Hospital this evening. I had the most wildest dream last night and I really think they need to make it in to a movie. I wish I could figure out how to write it all down. Make it a good day.

The guy who does our firewood stopped by Sunday. His truck died on him. So this Saturday, hubby and I are taking our truck out to his place and pick up the wood. I told hubby we had to do it this weekend or next, after that I'm out of commission. Very busy today. I worked and as I was leaving my Boss informed me that I was working this evening. I don't know how that happened. I checked the schedule at least 4 times and I swear my name was not there. So I go pick my sis up to take her to Wal-Mart. While there a co-worker texted me about her working tonight. I called her back and she said she was working. I told her I saw my name on the schedule. We can't figure out what is going on. Anyway she worked and I was happy. So I leave the store with my sis and take her to lunch and then home. I called my friend and then drove to meet her at Costco. We went to a consignment store that specializes in larger sizes. I actually got 2 tops in a 2X. It was a lot of fun and we were there for about 45 minutes trying things on. We went back to Costco where her car was getting tires fixed. We walked around and sampled a few things. I think we ended up spending about $35.00. It was a lot of fun. Drove home and picked hubby and we went and voted. So glad that is over with. I spent a few hours putting away all the Halloween stuff and putting out the Thanksgiving stuff. Washed my Flannel Sheets and put them on my bed. Fixed dinner for hubby and got me some yogurt. Now I'm chillin........Gonna watch the boob tube for awhile. Oh, and I think I might have a stress fracture in right foot. I guess I better call the Doc and see if I can get in. Just what I need.

Kat, my sister suffers with depression, or should I say that we all suffer from her depression. Seriously, we make arraingments and appointments and she ends up canceling because she is too tired. She complains all the time that she never gets to see her granddaughter. Well, they call to bring her oveer and she is too tired or not in the mood. Ok, don't be griping then. It gets real annoying with her and we have come to expect it when we have to deal with her. They called to do my pre-op this morning. She wanted to know when I coulld come in. I told her that we always did it over thephone and she told me that I would have to come in so they could do blood work. Ughhh. So a week from Thursday I go do that. They e-mailed me all the paperwork to have filled out to bring in. I'll be really glad when this one is over. 2 surgeries in one year is enough. I know I shouldn't complain, especially when there are people that have 10 to 15 surgeries in a year. At least I get to get pampered for a few days. My friend that was helping me get ready for my 5K called and wanted to know if I wanted to go walking with her again. I told her that the 5K was over with, that I didn't need to walk anymore. LOL. yeah right. So I just got back a little while ago from walking in 40 degree weather. Good thing I took some kleenex with me. The cold makes my nose run like crazy. Is Plain still tricking or treating????

Morning Guys. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I know I did. Now it's back to work. I have a real light schedule this week. Yay. My neighbor brought her daughter over last night and I ended up leaving with them and walking thru the neighborhood. We had such a good time. Then we came back to my house so Bret could pass out candy. They stayed till 9pm and then headed home. Hubby had duty till we got back. Ended up having around 38 kids come by. Not bad but I still have a lot of candy left over. Guess I'll send it over to the nephews. Have a good one.

Shar, my niece and nephew lived at a lake about 150 miles from here and there was no trick or treating there. When they were about 4&5 years old, we brought them up to the city to go. The first few houses they didn't want any part of it, it scared them because they didn't know these people. By the third house they had caught on about the candy thing and then we couldn't keep up with them. They just thought that was too cool. They wore us out. I love those memories. Ashley, I'm so glad that you and your hubby were able to have a date night. How relaxing that sounded. I love those times when it's just the two of us and we can be silly and don't care. I have a pot of Ham and Beans cooking. I'll chop the onion when we get home and make the corn bread for it. It smells so good in here. Off to church and then come home and get the candy out for the little kids, yes I still have it hidden. :wink2:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN. The candy is coming out of the room soon and will be out the door then. No more in my house. Thank goodness. Busy day here today. Housework, Football, Church, Candy. Have fun everyone.

Tracy, I kinda agree with you about taking Macy out trick or treating. I have a grandniece that is going to take after our side of the family. I told her mom that I would not be getting her Halloween candy, Christmas candy or Easter candy. That she was going to have a hard enough time when she got older, I just wasn't going to add to it. A lot of our Churches around here are doing stuff like having carnival rides and games. They also have the trunk or treat thing going so the kids won't miss out on that part. Good luck at the in-laws tomorrow. I know you will charm them. Hubby and I are home for a quiet evening.We stopped at Papa Murphy's after church and got dinner. Now it's nice and cozy for the evening. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Morning Peeps. I'm up and going to get ready for work here soon. I have a 3 hour shift to do and then clean the store. That way Monday morning I don't have to do it. I'll weigh here in a little bit but as of yesterday I was down 4 pounds. That's what happens when you have a stomach virus and can't eat for days. Tracy, my wish is that you have continued success. You are doing awesome. Ashley, have a gret time tonight no matter what you end up doing. Concentrate on just you and your husband and let the rest roll off. Anyone going to a party tonight? We were invited to one but are going to stay home. I guess I'm just not up to anything yet. Make it a good eating day.

Hey guys. I worked a full shift today and started out kind iffy. I walked over to the General store and got 2 bottles of 7up. As my shift was ending I could feel something start to move. Ok, I know. TMI-but my poor bathroom took the brunt of it, but I sure do feel a whole heck of a lot better. Whatever was in me is dead and gone now. Hubby and I went to Wal-Mart to get him a new shaver and by the time I got home I was feeling like I could eat something. Came home and warmed a can of soup. I had 2 bowls and crackers. Yup, I'm feeling good now.

I just finished eating 4 crackers and some 7up, now heading to bed. I have to work tomorrow so I'm hoping I wake up feeling a whole lot better. Night.
