Happy day…Happy day….the insurance company sent me two checks today to bring them up to 4/17/04 for lost wages. YEAH!! I will be able to pay my house payment on time. I over course will be sending them time sheets again tomorrow for two more weeks. I am trying to work more and more, but with the beginning of the exercises and stretches I am missing a bit more work as I need to ice more often again. I did take enact my rights under the Medical Leave Act so I work what I can each week.
MONDAY……
Another week is beginning, and it will be busy as always. I am going into work late this morning since I am very sore and already have been to the chiropractor this morning. I am icing for now than I hope to do a bit around the hosue in between icing my back. I started the recommended stretches, but am very sore after them. Tonight I have a late meeting so I won’t be going into work until this afternoon. The same thing will be happening tomorrow as I have a 4:00 and 7:00pm home visits.
We started doing out rotation of chores over the weekend and it really went well. We are rotating dishes daily. It was nice that I wasn’t responsible to do dishes every day. Today is my day to do dishes. I also have a laundry schedule that seems to be working much better.
Monday – Towels
Tuesday – Sheets
Wednesday – Darks
thrusday – Lights

Today I have to write up the chore list for Tuesday night. Tuesday is our daily blessing day (weekly cleaning) . I am going to write a detailed list of what cleaning needs to be done and it is divided between the five of us.

THis week is the Living Room, I don’t have too much to do in the living room, but a few things!!

Well Tommy didn’t sleep well during the night. He was up from about 3
to 6 off and on. He was crying in his room and would say I want to
watch a movie, I want to go outside, etc. Trying to convince him it was
night time wasn’t working. I put him in bed with us, and he jsut kept
saying “mom, I Love You….Dad ( who was snoring) Dad, I love you over
and over since Daddy wouldn’t answer.
I had to be up early since my niece and nephew were coming over. My
nephew has autism and one of his stims is to talk and talk…..I have to
wake up here. My neice is nicely watching Blue’s Clues. I am going
to let Tommy and Daddy sleep until they wake up. If they wake in time
for church we wil go, Tommy has such a cold too, I think that is part
of the reason he was awake so much last night.
This afternoon we are going to try to go to the carnival at Erik’s
school. SHould be interesting. I am off to try and wake up. Have a
great day!
I made cookeis this afternoon. They turned out really good. Hubby liked his surprise.

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3-1/3 cups flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 (4-ounces) packages instant vanilla pudding powder
2 cups chocolate chips
Cream butter, eggs, sugars and vanilla together and mix well. Sift Flour, soda and pudding powder together and add to creamed mixture. Add chocolate chips. Mix well. Drop by teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes just until golden; do not over-bake.

We had Cheese Beef Macaroni and salad for Supper. There were no leftovers so they must have liked it. Hubby did the dishes tonight. I like this rotating turns…LOL!! Tomorrow is Josh and Erik’s turn. I am pretty much caught up on the laundry so I won’t be doing any tomorrow. I got to have a hot bath and a drink, how relaxing!!! That is rare treat and so welcomed after I did my stretches from the chiropractor. I couldn’t do very many of the stretches.
We are watching my niece and nephew tomorrow for the day. They will be going to church with us and then we are going to the carnival at Erik’s school I think. We will see how it goes with 5 kids for the day.
I think I will head to bed now, read for a bit and snuggle with hubby. Later!

Saturday….BUSY, BUsy…..we ran all our errand and were home by 12:00. That is pretty good. I finally returned the remaining curtains. Finally the curtains ordeal is all done!! YEAH!! I bought Erik and Tommy some summer clothes at Once Upon a Child. We went to Plato’s closet and got some for Josh too! We also stopped at the library and got Tommy some medicine. TOmmy fell alseep on the way home. I hate when that happens. He jsut got up.
I am baking cookies for my hubby since he is so wonderful. I hope he will be surprised. He is work all day today as always. He is off on Sunday and Monday. I also picked up a movie for him at the library I thought he would like. My back is killing me so I think I will ice it a bit and sit down for a while.
Hope you all have a great weekend!! Later

my weekend has started. I don’t think we have any plans, but will be busy as usual. We have all the kids this weekend. I hope to spend some time outside with Tommy. He really enjoys being outside. I have most of the laundry done, so chores shouldn’t be too bad. Supper is thawing in the fridge….a good start to the weekend.
