Then went to the Pulmonoligist for appointment. - She is happy with my progress.  My chronic cough seems to be better and we are continuing to decrease my predisone.   I will be down to 20/15 alternative days.   I will see her again in 6 weeks to see how I am doing.  

Just got home and have set the timer for 30 minutes to have lunch and relax a bit.   I  work so much better with a timer!   I even have hubby using it for laundry when he is doing it!   It helps keep him on task.   I would be lost without my timer.

My last day off of work.  Tomorrow I have to drive to Duluth for a meeting and will be there all day!    I will get to listen to my book on tape alot at least.  

LAST NIGHT

After my DEXA Scan I stopped at Walmart to buy brown chruch shoes for Tommy.  He had out grown his.   I always make sure my kids have brown and black shoes and pants for church each year.   Then we mix and match shirts the best we can.  Then I picked up a Sierra Turkey Sandwhich from Panera.  YUMMY!!   I only get to have those about once or twice a year so that was a real treat for my birthday!   Then I came home and decided not to work on reports.   I read my book and worked on changing my blog decor.  

Since hubby and I both had ate lunch so late we sent the older two boys to church for supper and stayed home with Tommy.   Since we dont' have a class right now we have been doing things with Tommy while the others are gone.   We watch a movie or play a game with him.  I watched American Ideal and played on my laptop while Tommy and hubby made my birthday cake.   It was a nice relaxing night. 

The older boys came home and we had cake and Erik had to finish up some homework.  Tommy and I went to bed around 8:30 or so.  I read and he colored for a bit.   I am really enjoying my book.  I am reading Reading Group by Elizabeth Noble.  Very Good.....you really get to know and care about he characters.   I am sure I will get it done by book group next week.   I will probably finish this weekend.  

TODAY

Not much planned.  I won't be able to mall walk today since I have to take Tommy to preschool and then I have an appointment with the pulmnologist.  Hubby has a Dr appointment at 4:00 and he always wants me to go with him too.   In between all that I have to do laundry and write two reports.   I would like to read a bit too.....

Flylady Mission of The Day:

As we are headed in to cold and flu season I want you to take 15 minutes to wipe down your door knobs, light switches and phones in your home. As many of them as you can accomplish in 15 minutes.  

A huge thanks to FIREWIFEMOM!!!  I figured out the code you sent me with a little help from my son.   Way cool!!   Looks much better!   You are the greatest!

It's my birthday today and I am up and moving already.  What is wrong with this picture.  I have to get up to get Erik ready for school so no sleeping in for me.  He was reminding me all morning he wanted me to fill our his registration for 8th grade and of course he forgets it on the table and I have to walk to the bus stop to give it to him.  It isn't due until tomorrow, but this gives him two days to get it handed in. 

Tommy is up and having som yogurt.  I am going to switch laundry and take Tommy to daycare.  Then I am heading to the mall to walk.  At 11:30 I have my DEXA scan and then I will pick up a sandwhich at Panera Bread as a treat!  YEAH!!  

We are off an running....have a great day!

Time to call it a night.......we are all settling down to a quiet night.  I have jsut finished my grocery list for shopping tomorrow.   I will get groceries after I am done with my DEXA Scan tomorrow.

TOMORROW

It is my birthday and I really don't have too much planned.  I do have to have a  DEXA Scan done to screen for osteoporosis.   This was ordered by the endocrinologist I saw I think it was last week.  I may have to begin some bone building medication if I have the beginning of osteoporosis.  This of course would also be caused by taking predisone.  

Off to start my day!  Hope you have a great one!

Looks like a party exploded on my blog......just redecorating to celebrate my birthday!  Always a reason to redecorate!!! 

Ok...time to get some work done here soon!  I dropped Tommy off at preschool and hubby will be picking him up.  I went to the mall and walked 3 miles.  I did an extra mile since I didn't walk yesterday.   Then I stopped off at OfficeMax to get a phone message book.  Now I am home and having a little snack before I pick up for an hour! 

I am listening to a book on my MP3 player while I walk...gee I love that!! Hubby thinks of the greatest gifts!!!   I am listening to Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.  I downloaded it from the Dakota Cty library website last night.  That is way cool too!  I can check out a book on tape at anytime, night or day and down load to my player.  VERY VERY cool!     Can you tell I like my new toy!

Off to straighten up a bit.    15 minutes room for 1 hour and then working the rest of the day!  Later!!

The beginning of the week and today is a holiday!  YEAH!   So today I hope to get a few things done around the house and read my book some more.  I need to get it done by next week for book group and I have alot to read yet.  

I am up early and everyone is still sleeping.  I am hoping to get a few things done and go walking at 8:00 or so.   Today should be a pretty quiet day I hope!
