Back Again…..

Just got back to the office from my 3:30 meeting.  YIkes…that was a bit of a long meeting.  It was a pretty good meeting.  I am now waiting for my WW meal to cook and then I will eat a bit and get some paperwork done.   I did got a chance to stop at Radio Shake before getting to the office.  I got a splitter so both Tommy and I can have a separate pair of headphones on my MP3 Player.  We will have to try that out tonight when I get home. 


I just called home and checked in with hubby.   He is trying to get supper on the table for all 6 kids…LOL!!  I am sure Tuesday nights is not his favorite night for me to work late.  LOL!  We have his sisters kids on Tuesdays too.  Well I should say he does!  By the time I get home they will be gone. 


I am off to get my supper and eat.  Have a great evening!  I am sure I will check in again before heading home.  IT is so very very quiet here…I think I am the only social worker on the floor tonight.  Oh well…..that is usually the case!

Taking a moment to BREATHE………….

Deep breaths….. I am so overwhelmed at work, you would not believe it.  And a few more new cases in the last few days.  ARGH….and new families that need alot of assistance.   So I am sitting here trying to breathe before running to my next appointment in Lakeville.  Then I will have to figure out which fire to put out when I get back to the office.  My calendar is full, full, full.  I need to appear in court this month, but hoping that pick the one Wednesday I actually have nothing going on.   But of course court will need to be a priority.   I will need to be working late tonight.  At least until I get my court reports done and a dent into this weeks paperwork.   Thursday I am presenting at a workshop in Rosemount for an autism group I think it is….I have not prepared at all!  Do you think the 100 people there will feel cheated if I stand in front of them and just stare at them, unable to put a sentence together?   I suppose I better get something together tonight for that too!


Tomorrow is my day at home!   I have plenty to do, get groceries, finally get my back x-ray done, complete mission trip pw and payment to church and have the oil changed on my van. 


Thursday morning – take Tommy to preschool and attend unit mtg in the AM.  Presentation in Rosemount in the evening.  


Friday- Staffing in the morning and major IEP meeting at noon.  Erik is gone at an activity on Friday night at church so I will probably try and be home to spend time with hubby and Tom.    


BABY STEP….BABYSTEP…….I eat when I am stressed…the candy bowl is my friend today!  I need to stop that or I won’t lose my last 6 pounds! 


Well I am off and running………………..Later!

Hello everyone…..how you all had a great weekend.  Ours was ok….pretty laid back for me, but hubby was busy with his things.  Friday we went to Lakeshore Learning to purchase some things for NI magnuson to donate to the school.   Hubby wanted to grab taco Johns’ so he and Tommy had that for supper. 


SATURDAY – hubby spent alot of the morning on the phone.  We finally went to the library and did our things.   The rest of the afternoon we were home.   Tommy took a huge nap and I got a few things done around the house.  I even got a few books on tape ready for my MP3 player.    I need to get some children’s book on tapes since Tommy now is liking to listen to it with me while in bed.   If it will help him to settle down to sleep I am fine with it.  I take one ear piece and he the other and we snuggle together.  


SUNDAY – I woke up really feeling poorly so I went back to bed.   Sunday was a pretty lazy day for us.  Tommy had a friend come over and play and stay for supper.  JOsh and Amy were celebrating their anniversary and went to a movie and out to supper. 


MONDAY – stopped at the library and got a few books on tape for Tommy.  Something called Geronimo Stilton, Junie B Jones and Hank the Cow Dog.  I am going to find some Magic Tree House ones as well.  I think these will come in handy on the plane and in the hotel in florida.  I should be able to fit alot of his books on my MP3 player. 


Beed very busy today….homevisit in the am and another client came into the office to meet with him.  Tonight I have a meeting at church and then will be home for bed early!  YEAH!! 


Today was weigh in day…..I had a lost and only have 6 pounds to go to goal!!!!  Lifetime feels like it is within reach!!  At least I have hit single digits!


Later!!
