thanks guys...
sandy that song is sweet...

The kids are such sweetness to my life..Maddie makes hubby and I smile so very much....

I have kept their baby books up to date...amazing but even baby number five has a lot in her baby book....

Just sxs a bugging me today and last few days....having a hard time of it...
but I will get thru hugss to all, sarah

hey Sandy, the song made me cry, Ciara came in and started dancing to it...she is soooo funny....then we danced together....
I hear that, life goes too too fast, and then they are grown...I already see my son age almost 15, has grown so fast....and miss him as a youngen...although it is nice now to have more of a adult relationship as they get older...but then see them still want the hugggggs from mom....

I so enjoy each day, each moment with the kids...I always have wished I didnt have to work so much outside the home...so as to have more time with them, also my sxs take so much away from US.....as I need so much rest, and sometimes this lost feeling of not really being here even though here....

Anyhow, back to the kiddos...about to rock little Maddie to sleep after I nurse her, still nursing her when home, she also does bottles...then when I work....

hugsss all, sarah

WOW I'm not sure what happened I posted a big post this morning and apparently it disappeared into thin air! Hope all of you storm affected people are Ok...we were supposed to get it today...still might get rain tonight but as usual once it hits the coast here it has been super windy all day and 80 degrees but no weather! Sarah...cherish the moments...having two kids at vastly different ages I now see all the things I missed with my first one!

Kay-I never would have thought ginger looked so pretty!

Barb- YAY on the Tysabri!

Sandy-hugs g/f!!

Good morning all Have coffee in hand and dragging this morn. Did a lot yesterday.

My hair needed cut and for the very first time in my life - got it colored at the hair place. They did a much better job than the home stuff -LOL. I'm hooked.

I have training today. JD Powers is coming to inspect our office soon because we qualified for an audit. (This is a good thing, ) Someone who has been through this before is coming in to show us what is needed to pass this. Not expecting too much, since very few have passed their first inspection.

Gettting to work is going to be interesting today. We have flood warnings and watches every where. Of course, it's also only 33 right now after the string of warm days we had.

Enough of my rambling. Hope everyone feels better soon and stays safe.

Good morning, Aunt Flow showed up right as I was getting ready to go to sleep last night so I'm in a B***** Mood today. But this will be my 1st cycle while my body is acting up (and not being sick) so I can't wait to see if things are going to clam down or really flair up.

Thanks Fin! You just got to get through it.

I have been thinking of everyone in Tornado areas. It was so good to hear so many of you from the affected areas. My heart goes out to everyone of you and your neighbors.

TK, that's right! You are in the warm weather...I am so jealous! Hmmm, maybe we should all migrate to your house!

Sarah, isn't that a great song? I cried too. I look at my 19 and 21 year old and just sit back in awe. Then they do something to remind me they still need me. Like a minor car wreck or car breakdown. lol

Renee, hugs to you too! How is hubby doing? How is everyone else doing? Are you ready to fall over?

Jenn, I hope the coffee gets you going! I bet your hair looks great. Once I went to have my hair colored by my stylist I too was hooked. I'll pay to keep my hair healthy looking. I never got the color I wanted at home.

Julie, it took me until now to figure out what Aunt Flow was...lol It's been so long since she showed up at my door! I hope ya feel better soon and don't have a flair.

Gigi, I am glad we are hearing from everyone too. I may try to call Momma today to see how things went and if they are OK.

UPDATE: The reason I made the comment about Chris and Nik is after Chris wrecked his car Nik called yesterday and his wouldn't start. $400 to fix the spark plus, wires and clean the engine where he flooded the heck out of it. He had the money so that's good. But he also needs tire rods so that's an extra cost. We'll probably help him if he needs it. Chris is getting just the hood fixed because he wants to wait and see if he can get a better price. They wanted $1300 to fix the bumper and flatten out the hood but until they pop the hood we wait. There may be more damage we can't see. :-(

And packing...lol

never heard THAT one before!

thanks for the giggle...

my update: hatchin' baby TURKEYs now here at Chez Kay in da jungle.

only half a dozen so far (we're small-scale) but still exciting!

I wandered around in the early-morning cool, snapping pix of my ducks and the solar array (installation delayed due to some FITTINGS missing from the package, and difficulty obtaining them, ALAS!)

and just gloried in the quiet, passing out the morning corn and cabbage leaves...

it's a lovely morning here, with the sun trying to send bright shafts streaking through the clouds, and the clouds trying to gather up sufficient mass for a rainfall.

wonder who's gonna win?

hey all . guess I better post before you send out a search party for me to see if I'm snowed in! LOL

read everyone's posts ... hope you all are having a good/great day!

***UPDATE***

well, tax season has saved my butt again ... but, I'm not doing what I've done in the past! some changes are made! paying off what I can - and the rest can wait!

going to return my car, drop the full coverage ... and get a car for cash!

cleaning out the storage unit, taxes, snow snow snow, school ..

OH - still no water ...

well, back to school and taxes!! later!!

We are having a heatwave today...up to 8 whole degrees

I've been such a good girl doing my school work all week. I'm learning about pathogens, the immune system and still working on memorizing Medical terminology (Latin and Greek). Very interesting how they use one word to speak an entire sentence!!


I'm feeling good, upbeat and my PT seems to be working even after only 2 visits. Who'd a thunk it? (Kicking self for not trying it before!) Having some trouble sleeping on the new Lexapro I started....I'll give it a day or two to see if I'm going to need help for a week or two. Gotta have my sleep!!

Hope all is well for my board buddies
