Morning.....I am awake.   I forgot I don't have to work a 12 hour day today.  I have to cook at the church with friends.  We are doing our test session for the next cooking session.  We are making marinades for grilling and side dishes.   Always is fun....it is a great group of ladies!  

I have a school observation and than I am in the office the rest of the afternoon until I leave for church. 

Good news....I need to buy a size smaller pants.   Bad news.  I just bought 6 pairs of capris when in Duluth and they are all too big now!   DUMB....DUMB!  I jsut have to find someone I know that wears a size 10.   I would love to give them to someone in weight watchers since I know that losing the weight is great, but the cost of new clothes, expensive!  I will have to ask around.

Friday is our anniversary.  We have been married for 5 years.  We are going to go out for supper and to the movie.  Josh said he would watch Tom for us.  We haven't been to a movie alone in at least a year.  I think the last movie we went to was for our anniversary last year.  How sad...so I am looking forward to that!

It is a 4 day weekend for me....YEAH!!  Monday is a holiday so we are off as well.  I am looking forward to a quiet weekend to catch up on sleep and read and relax.  Doesn't that sound great!!!

We were invited to a friends cabin for the Fourth of July, but already had plans to go to South Dakota for the 150th centennial of my hometown to see my parents and brother.  My nephew is getting married next month so I need to make hotel reservations for that.   We have some busy weekends coming up. 

Time to get ready for work....Have a great day!!

Inconsistencies of opinion, arising from changes of circumstances, are often justifiable

Well I decided that instead of taking a full supper I would take a 15 minutes walk and enjoy the sunshine...Yes, you heard right the sun is shining in MN today!  I couldn't miss out on that!   I am finidng it is easier to work 12 hours if I get some exercise during the day.  I walk the steps to my office on the third floor everytime throughout the day.  That was at least 4 times today.   So the moving should help!    Back to work.......Have a great evening!

Back from Weight Watchers........drum roll please........

It was a good week and I lost 2 pounds this week!  YEAH!! 

We found the place we will be taking Josh's graduation pictures.  Very reasonably priced.  So I will call to make an appointment today.  Then I will need to budget to buy him 3 new outfits for pictures.  We will be able to do inside and outside pictures, I hope!  Next year we will have to start saving some money for the graduation party and things we will need to buy!    Hard to believe my first son will be graduating next summer.  Then a few more years and then Erik!  Crazy!  how do I keep my baby, Tommy a baby......

Today is of course a lovely 12 hour day for work and I didn't get much sleep last night.  Hubby was coughing and sneezing in the middle of the night....so I had to get up and sleep in Tom's room.   I am so tired this morning.  

Weigh in at Weight watchers today!!  I think I lost weight, I really do.  I sure hope so anyways.   Well I better get ready and get to work.  Have a great Monday!!!!

Well of course today I had time to take a nap....but couldn't sleep.  Oh well!  Instead hubby and I watched a movie since Josh and Erik were out shopping with Amy and Tommy was napping.   It is hard to watch an R rated movie sometimes in our home since we have three kids.   This next weekend is a low kid weekend so that will be nice.  That means we can watch a movie or something during Tom's nap time.   I will not watch R rated movies with my children around.   I already think some of the PG-13 movies are a bit much sometimes.

I did a few loads of laundry and played outside with Tommy....that was pretty much our afternoon/evening!

I AM TOO COOL.....MY MOM WOULDN'T REALLY TAKE A PIC OF ME!

HELLO - YEP, I AM DRIVING MY NEW VAN DADDY PUT TOGETHER FOR ME!  IT IS MY FAVORITE COLOR, BLUE!

SEE - MY MUSCLES!   NOAH AND I PLAYED CHALK WITH MY MOM!

Laundry going....dishes done......perfect time for a nap....(oops..I mean to read for a while!)   That is an on-going joke in our home.  I say to hubby I am going to read for a bit and am asleep within minutes!  I didn't get a nap yesterday so I have to catch up!

I wish I ever could report I had a fabulous night of sleep.  Tommy woke up around 4:00 to tell me his night light was off and he was scared.  He went back to his bed after I got up and turned it on.  Then he came back in our room and said he was scared.  So he was in bed with us.....then I fell asleep to only be woke up because he wanted socks and his toes were cold.  He refused to sleep under any covers!   Plus we didn't get to bed until around midnight!  We had friends over and we were working on their sons video for his graduation.  We have it mostly done, jsut have to do a bit of editing.  It turned out really great!!   It even made me teary eyed and it isn't my son graduating.  They are going to be a great help to us with Josh's graduation next year.  She already told us where to go for his pictures and I will be calling very soon to get an appointment!    We are doing Josh's graduation pictures this summer.  

We actually overslept for church.  I couldn't believe it, we haven't missed church in like 6 months.  Oh well....I have alot to get done today.  Laundry, laundry and more laundry!!!  I suppose I should get showered and get going on our day.   Of course it is cloudy with no sun again...will it ever be summer in MN????
