I knew it would happen.. one day I'd delete photo's that hadn't been downloaded yet..
I was deleting Christmas photo's off my camera when I thought "hmm did these get downloaded?" Nope.. and now I have only a handful of the girls, tons of me and Steve but not much of them

Busy at work and worn out from it. So glad Friday is almost here although I must spend my weekend cleaning because I found a pile of dog hair behind the desk. Plus we got a new computer desk thanks to a friend who was giving it away and now we're moving the pc to the bonus room. IF our taxes work out ok then I'm ordering a laptop! If not I'm stuck lol

I hope you're all doing well with the Discovery Health Body Challange. I've managed to have a one pound loss! Mostly water and all the weight I gained from the testing but I'm glad to be down a pound! Now for 2 more this week..that's my goal.  Helps that I can only eat about one meal a day right now due to my stomach. Still no answers

That's about it from my way.. Ciao

I woke up thinking it was Wednesday.. wouldn't it have been nice to have been right lol
So she passed her classes and her math teacher was so fricking smug and quick to get us out of the room. I didn't say anything because my daughter passing her class after she called to tell us she was close to failing was glory enough. She's looking forward to her classes this semester.. to include PE lol Here's the weird thing.. it's the only PE class she's going to be required to take! What happened to PE? It's disappearing faster than the arts!

Anyway, they are off and gone to school and it's just me and Steve and it's quiet. I like quiet lol It felt like they were home forever because they had a four day weekend. Jess has her science fair where she will demonstrate a beautiful volcano..that we didn't take a photo of.. and hopefully do well. She was so excited and has been excited about school this year. I love it and hope it sticks!  I have her IEP meeting today at 11am and I'm ready. Bring it on people lol I do know they are exiting her from speech therapy and most likely the math class. I think she'll be fine.

Work is work.. I'm hopefully going to be fully caught up today and working way ahead for a change. I'm working in the near future now and that's ok but the further out I can get the better.

And since today is the 24th day of the month can someone explain to me why time is going by so quickly? I can't believe this month is over!

Have a super Tuesday and

Congratulations to CANADA's Conservative party on their victory! (they are similar to liberals of our country and their liberals are similar to our conservatives)

Your Scholastic Strength Is Deep Thinking

You aren't afraid to delve head first into a difficult subject, with mastery as your goal. You are talented at adapting, motivating others, managing resources, and analyzing risk. You should major in: Philosophy Music Theology Art History Foreign language

Because everyone else did it lol...

I am suffering from "Idontwannaworkitis"

I have a severe case, probably incurable because frankly I can't quit at this point so I must suffer through it. lol

It's rainy and dreary out today. I'd rather be snuggled up on the couch watching morning tv. I don't wanna .. as said in my best "Stuart" voice from MadTv lol Which by the way is one of Jenna's hidden talents heehee

Steve's working on his final out. He does have another sleep study test he's waiting on to be scheduled. Hopefully this one will show the same sleep patterns he has at home. If not I'm going to video record his snoring and have him take it in to them. I don't know why some nights are worse than others. I feel bad because I complain and it's not something he can really control. I'm trying to remind him I'm not angry with him, just the lack of sleep talking lol

Tonight we go meet all of Chelsea's second semester teachers. Hopefully we'll be able to find out if she passed her classes! Otherwise it's summer school for her behind lol She'd hate that too..

Ok back to work..

Because Jenna would have screamed so loud I think I could have heard her here.. I'm very happy the Seahawks won tonight I'm a baseball fan and I like college football more than pro football lol so I've learned a new appreciation for the game in the past few weeks. Jenna knows her stuff and she has to in order to keep those guys of her's straight

It's been a very lazy weekend here. I meant to get up for Mass today but I didn't get to sleep until after 4am due to Steve and his snoring. I know most of you wonder why I don't just go sleep somewhere else.. well I don't like sleeping downstairs alone lol and that was my only option. So I watched movies all night long.

Tonight my Mom, sister, her husband and neice came over for dinner. It wasn't bad and I don't have any leftovers lol that's a first.

Chelsea is now dating the boy she's pined over since they broke up last summer. He's the one that she went to the dance with last year. Good boy, good family and lives in another neighborhood   We like that heehee

I don't want to work tomorrow. I'm mentally willing it to snow but it's not working..damn those nonexistant magic powers! Have a great week all

Wishing my wonderful friend Kath a happy birthday, may you have a year full of joy, laughter and love. I wish we lived closer to each other again..because there's still so much to share and say and feet to be touched I hope your boys spoil you rotten tomorrow and treat you like the Queen Bee you are!

With all our love!

It's easy to complain about how there's no time for anything else but work and other obligations in your life, but have you really tried to juggle your schedule so there's room for a little frolic and fun?

Ok lol I get it I need to have more fun! Sheesh lol several times this week my horoscope has talked about how I need to focus on life outside of work or working on my house etc lmao I hear you horoscope heehee

Today has been a really productive day at work though! I've managed to nearly get to everything that was urgent, semi-urgent and routine. I like that on Monday I'll come in and be able to focus on filing and cleaning up a bit before hitting the keyboard again to pound out a few more pleadings etc.

Still no word from the doctor and it takes up to 72 hours before she calls me back. I hate the waiting game of wondering what's wrong if anything at all etc. I mean obviously I know something is wrong but I don't know if anything else is wrong etc. I just wish they'd remember that when they send someone for test they should call them back upon receipt of those test.

My husband is going to drive me crazy until he flies out to WA with Jess. He's bored. GREAT then umm find something to do but don't sit at my office while I'm working! lol That doesn't make me happy at all...

I have done much better the past two days with eating. I think I'm going to go grocery shopping Sunday after Mass so I can get the items I'll need for next weeks menu.  I hope you have done well this week.. Weigh in will be Sunday for me and I hope to have at least some of the extra 10 pounds I added on last week ( still there as of Monday this week.. ) But I'm not discouraged.. I know I can do this.. 40 more pounds to go to the me I want to be! come on let's get moving!

Have a super weekend..

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Court was so fun! I love when I have to go there because it puts faces to people I talk to on the phone and faces to some of our clients I never get to see. Today was Child Support court and let me tell you.. even though some of these people were dead beat parents and deserved what they got, others had fallen on hard times and didn't get a fair shake. I had a great time there though and made some new contacts That always helps!  I see the editor is up and running with the new one now. I like the choice of fonts.. or maybe that's just on this pc lol

Chelsea passed her Math EOC with a high 4! Take that you beyotch who called to tell me she was fearful she would fail! I really didn't like her math teacher at all.. now I can go nanananana my kid passed with an above average rating!   Still waiting to find out about her english exam.. crossing everything!

ok back to work.. TGIF in less than 2 hours lol (well not technically.. but my Thursday work day will be in the bag )

Even though you're definitely the most sociable of all creatures, you're just not in the mood to mingle right now. That's going to come as quite a shock to your loved ones, all of whom are used to prying you away from any party well after everyone else has said their goodbyes. It's okay. Think of this as your chance to rest, relax and rejuvenate -- and imagine how much more companionable you'll be after your 'nap.'

Ok I can live with that horoscope lol because it said I could take a nap. Although I'm not really thinking of a nap right now because I just got up an hour ago.

Happy Thursday!

The truly important things in this life have
absolutely nothing to do with work, money or how nice your car or house
is. It's time to start paying attention to the things that matter
rather than giving them lip service.

That's my horoscope for today up there, it's funny how so accurate these things can be at times. I've been very guilty of putting things that should be second in first place. I think it's time to regroup and remember to take time to smell the roses, bake that batch of brownies with my girls, take that walk in the woods with my husband and dog etc These are the days I'll look back and remember and I don't want them to be about what I was working on etc.

Life is good..
