Making a bit more progress around here.  YEAH….I need to get up early tomorrow as I have to be at the Dr’s at 9:00 for my shot.  Ok…maybe someone on here can help me.  I got my cholesterol results back and they said the results were borderline and I need to have it rechecked in 6 months.  But I don’t understand it.  It said my total chols. needed to be below 200 and mine was 150.  That seemed ok.  My good Chol. (HDL) needed to be around 50 I think it said.  Mine was only like 33.  Ok…here is my question, what do you do to increase your good cholesterol????   I fear the answer will be exercise and diet…LOL!!   Why can’t I just eat good chols. whatever that is!


Tonight we went to Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) to meet our teacher, Nicole.  We have the same teacher as last year, so not much of a surprise.  Tommy enjoyed seeing some old friends and playing with the toys.  He could care less about his teacher.  LOL!!


 I am still plugging away on my list…………



  • Run Errands – Bank, Library, Post Office, Target and Mervyn’s
  • Make babyfood – plums and peaches
  • Complete Frasier paper work for Erik’s assessment
  • Put Tommy’s clean cothes away.
  • Put Laundry away – Hubby washed a ton yesterday 
  • Reconcile checkbbok
  • Pay bills
  • Make menus
  • Update Calendars

My hubby was very sweet today and offered to run two of the errands, the library and post office.  I was able to get into work earlier that way.  Only a few more things to get done and I have accomplished what I needed for the week.  I still have a day left!


I am not sure what our plans are for  the weekend.  It is our “low”  kid weekend as Josh and Erik are with our ex’s.  I think this might mean I can rent movies!  R-rated ones at that! 


I am off to bed to read a bit, I started a new book last night, “the Bachelor”, it is pretty good so far.   I think I will go to the library this weekend too. 


Have a great FRIDAY!!!  Yes, it is finally here…..well almost, FRIDAY!!!

After reading for a while I fell asleep fine last night.  And man did I sleep.  I was so tired and hubby said I talked in my sleep a lot. But I feel better ………. 


Hubby is running off to a garage sale and Tommy is waking up.  I hope he will hold out in his crib long enough for me to take a shower.  I better hurry.   Later!


This morning I am going to run a couple of errand.  I need to go to the post office, library, bank, Target and Mervyn’s.  Not sure I have time to do all those before I need to be at work, But I will try. 


Have a great Thursday!   It is almost Friday!!

Hello Xangaland…..I should be tired, but I am not.  ARGH!!   Today was a good day for me at work.  I got three reports I had been dragging my feet on done.   One I just finished a couple of minutes ago, so I will have to fax it when I get to the office in the morning. 


I sure hope I am able to sleep tonight.  I have been busy all evening.   I got home from work around 5:15 and we were suppose to be church by 5:30 for confirmation registration.  Josh is in his final year of confirmation.  So I didn’t eat much of a supper, just a bite and run.  Tonight was the first night of Families First for Tommy and us.   There were a small number of kids so far, but a nice group of parents.   I think I will be ok with Families First this year.  Initially they said that the children under 1 would be in a separate room than the over 1 children.  Well Tommy is the only one under 1.   I didn’t want him in a room by himself with a teacher.  So tonight they had him in a different room playing with another little girl and he just crawled to the other room because he wanted to watch the bigger kids.   So they decided to let him be with the other kids.  He loves watching them and that interaction with the other children is why I have him in the program.


He did fine with separation time, which I was worried about since it is a different teacher.   During parent time we discussed our joys and struggles with parenting.  We also started discussing balance in our lives and our life mission statement.  Hmmm….not sure what my life mission statement is yet.  Our parent educator is very funny and keeps it very light.  She makes the class a lot of fun.  


I think I will go into work an hour late tomorrow since I worked at home this evening  AGAIN.   That way I can make it to the bank and post office in the morning.


I have not completed a single additional thing on my home to do list, but my work one has a few items crossed off. YEAH!!   


Tomorrow our evening is filled with the grand opening of the new playground at Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) and meet the teacher night at ECFE.  I have made arrangements with my work to be off on Friday mornings so I can take Tommy to ECFE class from 9:00 to 10:30.  Of course this may mean doing some hours at home, but it is worth it.  I am truly blessed to have an understanding and flexible employer.   


Oh Yeah…before I forget, I think it was Julietxpunk that asked the age range of my children.  The oldest, Josh is 14.  The middle, Erik is almost 10; and Tommy our baby is 10 months. 


Night everyone.  I hope everyone has a great nights sleep, including me!

  • Complete Frasier paper work for Erik’s assessment
  • Put Tommy’s clean cothes away.

Argh..can’t fall asleep and I have an early meeting in the morning.  I was fretting a bit since I missed work today.  So I got up and checked my messages at work.  I had 20 voice mail messages.   Ok…can I sleep now??  Nope,  I have a ton to do tomorrow. 


I need to leave work on time tomorrow as we have our first Families First class at church for the year and we also have confirmation orientation. 


I am off to count backwards for a bit….sure cure for not being able to fall asleep, or so my hubby tells me.
