Good evening everyone! I just got a phone call on my lunch hour from Brandi saying that my brother that lives in Houston,Tx was just admitted into the hospital for tests, so I gave him a call there at the Hospital and they think he could have prostate cancer that is what our father and grandfather died of, so of course we are all worried sick, so Please keep him in your prayers! Man what a bummer of a day, I hope everyone is having a good day though, I know most people are sick of the snow by now, but I am still holding out hope of a west coast snow storm before spring!

I will be sure to keep him in my thoughts.

Good evening everyone. I'm exhausted, can't wait to get in to bed. It's been a long day. I woke up with a headache, hate when that happens. I slipped on the ice getting out of my car at work (I'm ok, it could have been a lot worse) We had several kids come in to school even though they were sick. One of them sneezed all over me during snack time, while she had a mouth full of crackers. I had to go to the bathroom and pick Goldfish out of my hair. So gross. But I'm kind of laughing about it already. No wonder I've been sick since I started working there. My oldest had a doctor appointment after school and we got hung up there for hours. I had to pick up pizza on the way home because I ran out of time to cook dinner for my youngest who had a four hour class this evening. Then I had to go to the supermarket in the dark. I could barely push the cart full of groceries through the slushy parking lot. Groceries are all put away now and I'm finally done for the day. My husband and his brother went out to dinner and now they're at the Islander game. He's sending me pictures but I'm not feeling very happy for him right about now, lol. Wish I was there. I'm going to try and relax for a little bit while I wait for the girls to get home, it's still really icy out there. Won't be able to relax until they're all in and are safe & sound. Thanks for letting me vent. I'm sure tomorrow will be better!
I hope you are all well and had a nice day. I'll see you in the morning.
Goodnight everyone!

Sounds like a long tough day, I see that the Islanders brought back the old 90's "Fishsticks" jersey logo for tonights game.

Oh, Dawg, I will most definitely be praying for your brother and for you and the rest of your family, too. {{{HUGS}}}

Good evening,

I can't believe it took me until after 10pm to get here on my day off. I am exhausted.
I started out by using the roof rake to get the snow off the roof, you would think it is an easy job but wow it kills your arms, and walking in snow that is up to my thighs it was a tiring job.
We are now 100% de-Christmassed inside, everything that was left came down today and is packed away until November.
Besides all that I did my laundry, brought JP to scouts, made dinner for the boys, and made their lunches and snacks for school tomorrow.
I am going to get some sleep, back to work tomorrow for my 10-7 shift.

Goodnight, everyone.

My wife gets sucked into those talk shows, it drives me nuts, until it sucks me in. Especially Maury's paternity test shows. cheesy

I must admit, if I ever do watch those, the paternity ones are the best! It's like a day in the life of working on an OB department!!! They can get entertaining!

Get Your Girl Scout Cookie Fix All Year with Grocery Store Equivalents

I think I posted this a few years ago, and it is dangerous information to know after Girl Scout cookie season.

Thanks for sharing - I know about the Grasshoppers! I never do get them though. It's something about those Thin Mints....

Maybe one of these days!
