Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!
We had a long, lazy afternoon yesterday. After church, we took mom to dinner so she wouldn't have to cook for all of us, as she does every Sunday. By the time I finished counting all of the Weight Watchers points I used on lunch, I didn't get much supper LOL. I'm 9 pounds down in two weeks, though!
I hope y'all have a great day!
Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!
It's cold, windy and overcast this morning. I thought it was Spring?!
It seems like all I do is brag on my kids these days, and I apologize, but here's some more: Elizabeth has been accepted into the Honors Program at the University, AND she earned a full-ride scholarship!! I'm so proud of my little girl, I could cry! She had to interview for both a few weeks ago, and we were worried because it was the day after her grandmother's funeral, but she obviously nailed it!
And Jacob has been on the Dean's List continuously for the last three years! It's hard to imagine that he'll be a senior in the Fall.
Ok. I hope y'all have a great day, too!
(Did I mention how proud I am of my kids?)
Eeeek!! I don't think I'd take it too well if my washing machine started working on its own! I hope they'll get it fixed properly for you today.
Thank you! I hope you are doing well!
Congrats on joining the gym. Hope you get the best out of it. 6am is tough though, I'm usually trying to wake up and get ready for work at that time. But on the upside you get your workout done and out of way early. Enjoy your day HMG.
Long story short, we are short one girl in our office - she decides to come in some days, but she is quitting, so it's going to be a ZOOOOOO for awhile!! But I am looking forward to warmer temps & lake time!!! 
Thanks for stopping in, Holiday!! Hope work slows down a bit..Oh gosh, it's been far too long!!! We are over half way through March already & I sure do miss visiting here daily!!!
Work life is crazy. I get home & I could just go to bed!! Exhausting!
My sunroom tree is still up & I'm still enjoying it!
I hope you are all doing well & I'll try to catch up soon!!!! ♥
Merry Pines Day!!!!
Enjoy your time off!

I know all too well how difficult it is when a member of the team is missing at work, it really increases the work load for everyone. Hope the situation gets resolved soon and hope that you are taking care of yourself through all of this.
You sure do have your hands full! I'm glad your husband is improving!Happy 1st Day of Spring and Pines Day!
I wore a pastel decorative scarf with a baby blue top to feel "springish"; still lots of snowbanks here, bumpy side roads and parking lots, puddles every where - but it will come.
Sadly, I realized this morning that we haven't heard the Robins yet. Likely a good thing for them as it's still a bit cold at night, but at this time last year, I heard Robins singing in the morning.
Some good news regarding my husband; he's starting to get stronger and we've been taken over by 5 care team folks who are helping us get him "up and at it".
He's got a very long recovery road ahead, but he's thankful for the support. So far, I've been present for everything; running to and from work between health professionals, etc.
O'Malley was excellent today; we had three different women in at different times and he never hid from them once. He kept his distance, but it's almost like he realizes it's to help "the big cat".
I'm treating myself to an overnight with my brother in mid-April. I think he'll be strong enough by then.
He had a slip yesterday and couldn't get up from his knees, but he was going to fast down the hall and didn't have proper control of his walker. We have a few weeks to perfect that before I leave him on his own. I'd have my dad sit with him, but we're going together.
He's driving #1 son and I a bit crazy with the calls now that he has the portable phone so close at hand. At least we know he's taking it with him so if he happens to fall, he should be at least able to reach it from the seat of the walker or the bedside table; he has three so even if he forgets to set one back on the charger, he will still be able to get help. I'll have a neighbour on speed dial while I'm away. Same neighbour will likely be involved in a fire safety plan until he is strong enough to walk down the stairs which I'm hoping will be sometime in April.
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers; today I saw two gentlemen who I thought looked like Santa in the off season and took at as a jolly sign.
Stay merry!
Eight days off?!? I can't imagine what that's like. I hope you enjoy yourself!
