I canNOT believe this... I had the most beautiful, touching, wonderful 1st post to this new thread and "POOF!" -- it's gone!

Maybe it's the cyber-world telling me it's time to get to bed... good night, my lovelies!!

Morning Ladies~

Terry, glad you and dd spent some time together. While you need the escape, I am sure she does too. Stay strong sweetie. I can't imagine, but I love you and am sending you positive energy!

Having a great weekend. Just relaxing a bit, taking care of some stuff, but today I am going to cook some sauce, grade papers and relax some more. Last week just kinda kicked my ass...and I don't want to go into the next week w/o having rested. The next two weekends are busy...and next weekend I have Susanne's parents AND my step mom here. Plus the graduation blahblahblah...trying to stay calm!

Have a great day everyone! Judy, I hope you get some bike time in!

xoxoxo

Just had a thought that one year ago today we were on Gruene, probably had a flashback to the river, but all in all that was a FUN WEEKEND!!

Jane, I too flashbacked during the Preakness!!! Watched it in Gruene sitting on the sofa with Laura!!

Terry-we went to Traders Village. I have never ever been there. We walked out booties off!! What fun to look at all those shops! Glad you and dd had fun :rolleyes2:

Good evening, Violets..

I did an hour and 15 minute bike ride today by myself. I just love being outside and seeing everything all greening up.

Now I'm headed to our Community Chorus concert. I have one number that I'll be playing flute with the choir and the rest, I sing with them. I want to get home asap afterwards so I can watch the season finale of Desperate Housewives.

We don't have Ethan until noon tomorrow so Bob and I can go biking at 10.

Hope everyone has a good evening. Sleep well!

Hello.

Hubby and I went to Bob's last night and we had a great time. It was weird though, not having Kathy there. I kept expecting her to walk in any moment. We left about 10:30.

I took a muscle relaxer at 11pm last night and slept till 10am. Guess I needed it. Hubby was wanting to get yard work done, so within 1/2 an hour of getting up I was dressed and mowing. Uck. We got a lot done. It is absolutely beautiful outside and we spent most of it out there. We listened to the ballgame and I piddled in the backyard. We cooked some hot dogs on the grill and I played with the cats. We just enjoyed it all.

Hubby is going to start the grill here soon. I have some kabobs I want to cook up. I'll finish the laundry and than start getting ready for bed.

Terry, sounds like you need that time. Hang in there. I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers.

Have a great one.

Glad you had fun Michelle & Kat!!

Mom babysat Carson again last night, then we had our weekly family cookout today and he gets passed around so much it really overdoes it for him..so much so that he is too tired to sleep by nighttime and is very upset. I need to figure out what to do for cookouts, to keep my gparents from getting offended that they need to let him rest away from everyone for a while.

My dad's not following his diabetic diet.. his blood sugar was 205 tonight. Mom tested mine and hers too a couple times today. Mine was 103 this morning and 95 at night.. I was prediabetic at one point, looks like I'm way in the clear now, a normal for when you haven't eaten is between 90-125.

I just took a shower so I got a second wind (I have noticed lately I feel SO GOOD after having a shower).

We go tomorrow to fill my band up--SO EXCITED.

Crap, Carson just woke up...

Once again, up and getting ready for work. I can't complain though we had such a lovely weekend.

Laura, Congrats on getting a fill today. I bet it's going to feel so foreign to you.

Everyone have a great day and I'll chat at you later today. I have a full schedule.

Laura - he oughta go spend some time at a wound care clinic! 95% of those patients are diabetics who don't follow their diet or take their meds! There was a very sweet lady who was a roommate of my mother's at one point in the hospital....she was having her foot amputated the day after we left! It was so sad :laugh:

Drama continues over here. Another long day ahead!

Good Monday morning, Vi's~~

A new week... wonder what it holds?

DS woke up w/his neck in excruciating pain this a.m.... he can't move it at all or it hurts... he didn't DO anything to it this weekend... so @ 8 I'll call the doc...

Weds night is the first of two "BIG" PTA meetings left this year... this one is w/the County PTA Prez to deal w/all the BS that's been going on w/the Nom committee, etc & so forth trust me you don't want to know the dramatic details... bleh. After that it's June 4, when the new Board is elected & I RESIGN!!! :laugh:

Other than that... it looks to be a fairly straightforward, regular week... hope it turns out that way!

Make it a good one!

Everyone have a fantastic day....

Good morning!!

Terry I hope and pray that everything works out for you and your family!!!!!!

Air conditioner guy coming this morning to clean and check. My house is a mess, but I am hoping he is not part of the clean house brigade!!

Michelle hope your son's neck gets better!! I have headaches and neckpain a lot and it is an OUCH!!!

Good Morning Violetas~

Another busy, albeit, far less busy week ahead! Today is some shopping for something to wear. I have a few things here...but just gonna go check things out. I need to take the gown in to be pressed too.

Tomorrow, I get my hair colored, pedi and wax (the brows are unruly). Wednesday, I don't work! I have meetings all day at the district office...but no work!! That is a nice break in the week!

Thursday, Susanne's parents arrive!

Friday, my step mom arrives!

Trying to keep calm, stay mellow, and relax.

I'll be back later...gotta run help Sus!

xooxoxox

Michelle - In your opinion, why do PTA's always have so much DRAMA in the organization? Seems like everyone I know who's involved in one has the same story!

Good question, Terry. Actually, ours has been relatively drama-free for quite awhile now. I keep asking, "where was all this interest in the Prez position LAST year when NO ONE would do it and they BEGGED me to do it?" What a difference a year makes!

In this case, I think it's that the gals who are stirring up the controversy (trying to block one guy while "fudging" the rules to get another gal into the 1-year vacancy I'll leave in June) simply don't have much else in their little small-town lives and it's actually a big deal to them + they have the time to plot & plan... one gal likened it to "Survivor"! They lose sight of the purpose of the PTA -- to serve the kids -- & get their egos all wound up in it.

So now people think the PTA is corrupt and it's my job to make sure it's not, thus the County & State are involved... yadda yadda... I am not emotionally involved in all this, but it does take a time & emotional toll on me... my goal is to make sure that the organization is following the rules... period... I'm neither "for" nor "against" anyone who's trying to run... in fact, I'm not even going to vote as I won't be a parent @ the school next year so I don't think it's right for me to vote on their Board... of course, as Prez, if there's a tie, then I'll be the one to break it (which would *not* be fun!)... and so it goes...
