Mornin ~

Beautiful day in the neighborhood, LOL! we're supposed to get some rain today, that's fine, we need it. We'll be in the 80's or so for the next few days and then we go back down to 55* which is still well above normal temps.

Everything is going well at this moment, but it is only 4:30 am. Lilmama and I are both up getting ready to go to work. DH and DD23 are still sleeping and we both are jealous, LOL! I'm missing not waking up to an alarm clock, every day for a couple weeks is getting tiring. I'm starting to dream about MacTrucks, beep, beep, beep as they back up.

Tomorrow morning I have to get everyone up but I don't have to go anywhere til 3:30, I'm babysitting Antonio and then I'll go clean the breakroom. Mom's surgery is 7:30 am but I'll be here praying. I prolly won't have to take her for dialysis Tuesday because they plan to keep mom even though gall bladder is typically outpatient now.

Off to work shortly, y'all have a great day!

Rainy morning here and nothing I particularly want from the inserts this week so.. I get to stay put and recover from the DS's bday party. It was ALOT of fun =D I love entertaining, though the day after I feel like someone took a few swings at me with a baseball bat. Dh told me he is going to give me a break. We will see if DS allows it lol. Anyways off to find liquid energy and some source of food =p Later all!

Rainy here too. I am doing laundry and cooking all day. Having the corned beef and cabbage today. I guess I will be watching basketball all day too because I haven't seen DH and DS change the channel once. Nothing tempting in the ads for me either.

I went to CVS today just for a few papers. Then Kroger for bread, buns, milk, and eggs, that was it. Nothing much going on. I've cleaned out my 3 girls' closets and had 5 bags that I already took to Goodwill. My son's closet is next. We're having corned beef and cabbage for dinner tonight too.
It rained for 10 minutes around 11:30am, now it is sunny.

I cleaned and sorted out the 2 youngest boys clothing/closet too. With 5 boys, keeping the tubs straight on "saving what for who" gets crazy. I "found" 10 pairs of shorts to pass on to my 1-1/2 yr. old for this spring/summer so I was happy. I love to go shopping but it's nice to know I have a variety without spending a fortune.

Best part of my weekend, I just came back from meeting my childhood best friend who I haven't seen or spoke to for over 25 years! We met 1/2 way in Ohio. She was looking for baby things for her new grandbaby and I gave equipment and bags of clothes from my DS 1-1/2. What's wrong with this picture?? lol

Been raining off and on here and now we are under a flood watch and I hear there were some tornados.What a differents a day can make...LOL So I just vaccumed pack my chicken breast that I pm at wm for $1 lb and took a nap...LOL Have a good evening!

I've been MIA for a few days. My stepmom was throwing up a ton so I didnt want to hang around and get kids sick. I drove around for 3 days staying away from home. Thursday I slept in a hotel with my kids, I couldn't stand the sound of her puking in the next room over. For the weekend I drove to my moms, about 30 minutes away. Mom asked me if we wanted to move in next weekend, so I said yes. So next weekend I'll move there, and DS will have to change schools. There is too much chaos and instability here. I will have to quit my job, whih saddens me. But mom and stepdad are very supportive of helping me get kids back on track with behavior, etc. I will still go to Hawaii this summer, just now it doesnt need to be a rushed emergency. I'm so relieved.

I also found out theres a commissary 20 minutes from my moms and went there today with my stepsister, who also lives at moms. my stepdad is her mom (shes 15 yrs older than me). It was like going to the commissary for the 1st time!! Joyous awe at the prices.

Would love some $1/1 farmer john sausage or bacon Qs if anyone got them today!!! Probably regional to west.

Its the end of a long and fruitful day. My new desk is installed and aside from needing a keyboard shelf for it, its perfect for what I wanted. It better be, as it has to last me at least 6 years LOL. Tomorrow I get to finish cleaning up after the party, run a few loads of laundry and generally pick up around here. I also need to spend time with the DS playing with his new toys to keep him happy. If the rain stops I will let him go mess with the mud. His grandma got him a fisher price mud table and he is dieing to use it!

Happy to hear everything is going well... haven't heard anything from my sisters yet about mom's surgery but will let y'all know when she's out.

Baby is sleeping so grammie is getting a few things done. It's amazing how in such a short time I got used to doing my FLYroutines and when I fell off the wagon last week, I was starting to get this unsettled feeling inside. I couldn't figure out what it was and as I'm buzzing around the house this morning, I'm starting to feel at ease. LOL! I'm getting order back into my home and so it seems, my internal self too. My house still wasn't very dusty or dirty, DH did well at keeping at it and getting some things done, but we have 4 grown-ups and 1 infant living in a small space. It doesn't take but an hour to have it cluttered.

Not sure what to make for dinner, it's going to be too hot to cook inside. Funny how in the summer 80 is very comfortable for me, but since it's sooo early in the season and we've had no build up to the heat ~ I'm dying. LOL! Folks around here were getting sunburned on St. Pat's day ~ I think I may just chunk up some polish sausage, taters, throw in a few handfuls of veggies, seasonings and seal it up in foil for the grill. All in 1 package, LOL! K... dinner's done. LOL!

OMGOODNESS.......I've really been wanting to post, but.......


Right now I am blessed to have the next several days off due to spring break. I do not work doing taxes during this time as during the day I do not have anyone to keep my little one and honestly by this time I SOOOOO need a break. I've already met all of my goals so that's a good thing.

There have been two outbreaks of lice in the school this year which have been in our classroom. We are blessed that we haven't picked anything up, but seriously one time should be enough for people to get done what needs to be done.

Hubby also went to CT on a job inteview a bit over a week ago.......they flew him in "last minute" and then also had a realtor take him around the area for several hours after the interview. We are now just waiting to see if we get an offer letter and if the amount would be enough with the cost of living change. I sort of need to know so that I can get in the moving mode again. For his career and probably our family this would be a good move. At his work right now, it's in wait and see mode and we have gone through some layoffs already with more to come.

Also my doctor just cannot seem to get it in her mind that I do have some problems that need to be taken care of with surgery. Do I really want to have surgery? NO, but do I want some of this pain gone......YES. Some days we just KNOW our bodies and what's going on without all of the let's do this and this. She feels her partner could do "everything" that needs doing so I could just deal with ONE surgery, but now it's a week later and still no one has called me yet again. Hubby says maybe we are supposed to wait until "if" we move, but when nothing is touching the pain....hmmmmmm. It has been a constant fight here in FL to actually get the right kind of medical care when we've needed it the whole time we've been here.

I am hoping to get a ton of things caught up and back to somewhat normal by the end of the week.....hopefully I will be able to do this. Shopping has been taking a bit of a backseat, but I have had most things in "extras" so I haven't had to buy too many "full price" items. It really is amazing to me what we are running out of lately though. Things like tooth paste, fabric softner, shampoo, and hubby's bodywash. Now how did THAT happen. Mostly due to not having time to shop at CVS for the past several months. Oh well I just do what I can. I tend to save at Publix which helps........my favorite Publix will be one thing I miss when/if we move.

By the way, when hubby was going around with the realtor I asked him to ask her what stores they had up there. She told him I wouldn't know any of them, but gave him some names. Guess what I at least DO recognize some of the names and even some of them have double coupons up to 99 cents I believe. When I asked hubby to ask her about the doubles he said, "I'm not asking her THAT." Instead I just checked the site here.

OH well enough rambling from me. I know you only hear crisis mode rambling most times I can post. Sorry, but I DO know there are sunny patches out there too, just a bit on my plate as usual.



Blessings and Hugs, "Angel"
