Good morning everyone. I see your all busy busy once again. lol Mom is doing better and anxious to get home so that's a good sign. Nik's hanging in there and appears to have a mild form of mono which is also a good sign. Jim is doing well and is much better off the Sinemet and the valium seems to be working much better.

Thank you from Jim for the veteran's day wishes! We're going to hang around the house today and chill. Well, he will, I'll be cleaning. haha

I hope everyone has a good day and stays warm and healthy. Sheesh, not to long ago we were saying stay cool and healthy. lol

We're going out Thursday to get some groceries and see my cousin. It will be in the 50's whoohoo! Take care everyone and stay healthy.

S&H, thanks. Now I have the Brady Bunch in my head.

for those of you who were concerned...

Gandalf's got his GROOVE back!!

he successfully drove off his rival Connor, and mated with Gwynneth this morning!

and hey, I was right, right, right!

hubby said it was too *EARLY* and they wouldn't start until December or January... but I watch my geese carefully, and I knew they were choosing up sides.

and one hour ago, I heard... the NOISE...

that special triumphant trumpeting that Gandalf uses to let the world know he got some.

this is so exciting, and in a month or two, we'll have little goslings to feed and play with again!



here's hoping for a nice big batch of eggs!

Kay - darling ..

you ARE writing a book about your farm episodes in Belize?? use a pseudo name to publish ... and make millions!! $$$

I'd buy one to read to the kids!!

Today is my daughter's birthday, so I called her at 11:11 to wish her a happy one. Then we had cheddar wursts in buns for lunch.

Now I have cookies in the oven to send to my granddaughter at college. Peanut butter swirl bars. Mmm, mmm.

Oh My it is cold here in Maine today! Hasn't even hit 40 yet, 39 but not 40!

Happy Veteran's Day everyone, thank you for your service for those who have!

Class was good this morning, I am actually enjoying it. Now I need to do some homework for my class tonight.

Have a good afternoon!

Don't all men do that??

Well, just got back from lunch with my friend. It was fun....didn't get to visit for long since he was in between appointments and had to be across town by 1:30 PM. I had a big bowl of the best chicken noodle soup I think I have ever had and a spinach salad with bacon, tomato and hard boiled egg. It was so yummy! And I didn't even have to pay!! Darn...I should have gotten the steak!

I just put a sirloin tip roast in the crock pot and put a big pot of green beans on to simmer. I haven't really cooked in several days and I feel guilty. Now watch......nobody will be home for dinner!!

I think I will go take a nap. I was pretty busy yesterday and then again today. Don't want to crash and burn.

um.... not unless you're married to an AIR RAID alarm !!

lol, Kell, it's LOUD, really, can be heard for a MILE, seriously!

Thanks TK...
well I tried to call one of the other managers to cover my 7am..but didnt reach them..so I went in...but reached her...and she came in at 8am...I came home and slept...for two+ hours....

Overnight my right leg and arm kept feeling numbish...if I wasnt having this crap for 8 years...I might have thought stroke was happening...either way I woke still numbish...I can use them..but my leg is weak feeling...and at work...I didnt feel I would handle working thru lunch rush...without being more with it...my words were off too.....so I covered me....too bad I dont have sick pay days....oh well health is more important then money right...

well also my mind has wondered about all the things I would LOVE to get done around the house...have let things pile up so long...clothes to go thru and sort sizes of kids...for the little ones....my bedroom is clutter mess...dust room....

and my body needs to be better in shape...just overall feeling like I am letting go of me...just to get to and from work...and tired of this..thinking maybe if start some yoga..or walking...maybe it will help me with more energy....just dragging and living unhealthy eating..and such....not enough time in a day to do the things that I WANT to do....time with kids..etc..

ok gotta go...rest some..then sort thru some clothes...just tired of feeling so old when so young!!!! limping around...and not enjoying life....or not having enough time to enjoy life...blahhhh sorry...

hugsss all, sarah
