I am pretty close to done with Tommy’s room.  I still have one little container to go through and throw somethings.  But I did take out 2 garbage bags of toys that are going to Goodwill and one of garbage to toss.   I doubt Tommy will even notice one thing missing.  

Erik’s mother should be here to pick him up soon, so I am going to relax and read until I need to leave to get supper.  We are having KFC tonight for Family Movie Night.  Tomorrow we are going to a wedding in the afternoon and Sunday we are taking Tommy to the Children’s Museum as they have a Bob The Builder exhibit.  Should end up being a nice weekend!!  I am looking forward to it.  

Later ….

I am off to start Tommy’s room.  I should show you the huge pile of junk/toys.  But it is far to embarassing….I might show the end results!   Later!  I am going to conquer this mountain 15 miuntes at a time!

I am home from dropping off Tommy at his aunties and shopping at Walmart.  I found a couple of shirts for Tommy on clearance for $3.00 and winter hats for $1.00.  Nice to stock up a bit at a good price.  I just had my lunch and now I am going to veg for an hour or so and read my book as a treat for getting my stuff done this morning.  I still have a few things to do.  I really have to start on Tommy’s room, though I am dreading it!   I piled everything he owns in a corner as I needed to scrub the floor.  The cat had messed in there when he was sick.  ARGH!!  So now I have to put the room back together.  I hope to get rid of about 1/2 of that pile before Tommy gets home!

 ATTORNEY:   Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? 
WITNESS:       No. 
ATTORNEY:   Did you check for blood pressure? 
WITNESS:       No. 
ATTORNEY:   Did you check for breathing? 
WITNESS:       No. 
ATTORNEY:  So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? 
WITNESS:      No. 
ATTORNEY:  How can you be so sure, Doctor? 
WITNESS:      Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. 
ATTORNEY:  But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? 
WITNESS:  Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

Another week seems to be flying by me.   Remember when you were a kid
and time took so LONG to pass….wow, that sure isn’t the case when
you’re an adult!

MONDAY

Monday was a busy day at work.   I am still working on organizing all
the donations that my co-workers are giving me for a family I work with
that had their home destroyed by fire.  We also had a section meeting
where the administration talked about ideas they had to lighten our work
load since our case loads are going to continue to rise with no new
hires in sight.  I currently serve nearly 70 families, which is becoming
unmanageable.  I was audited and my supervisor was happy with my work. 
Good thing!  I had a late meeting on Monday night.  I left there at
about 6:30 or so.  On the way home I got the worse headache I have ever
had in my life.  I could barely keep my eyes open to drive.  WEIRD!!  I
went home and went straight to my bedroom where I laid in the dark with
a cold pack on my head.  Hubby gave my aspirin and some percocet.  That
eventually got it to a dull roar so I could sleep.   Luckily I didn’t’t
plan on going into the office on Tuesday.

TUESDAY

Erik had as appointment for an assessment on Tuesday so I didn’t go to
work.  I went to the meeting and then came back home to sleep. My head
still hurt a lot!  I did a few things around the house in the evening
and went to bed by 8:30 or so with Tommy.  He and I listened to Judy
Blume’s Tale of a 4th Grade Nothing on my MP3 player.  He seemed to enjoy
that.  After he was asleep I got back up for a bit.   I looked through
my new Taste of Home’s Simple and Delicious Magazine.  I finally
thought of a good way to mark the recipes each month I want to try.  I made a
copy of the index in back and simply highlighted the recipes to try.  I
will then keep that highlighted copy in a binder for future meal
planning. 

WEDNESDAY

HAPPY VALENTINE”S DAY!!

Another busy day,  I dropped Tommy off at Preschool and helped him pass
out his valentines.  I had gone through some of the books we had at
home and took some to donate to the library at the New Christian School. 
They don’t have very many books yet and the kids are really enjoying
the Magic Treehouse Books so I gave some of those and Junie B Jones
books.  I think I will continue to keep my eyes out to find some more books
for them.  This is the school that Tommy will be starting in September. 
I might just see if I can find a lot of those type of books on Ebay to
give to the school.  I want to keep the set of Magic Treehouse books we
have for when I have grandkids.  Tommy and I enjoy reading them now! 
Of course I will keep my eyes out for good books for their library at
garage sales this summer as well.   We frequently donate to the school by
getting books and other learning items they need.  

Then I had to take the cats to the vet.  Robbie needed to have another
glucose curve competed today . He currently is getting 3 units of
insulin twice a day, but his sugar level is too high and he is vomiting
again.  Oh Joy!  Molly also went along to have a complete exam for the day.  
I stopped off at Wal-Mart and grabbed a movie my hubby wanted for
Family Movie night as his Valentine’s gift.  He wants a notebook computer
and I think we will end up getting that for him in the very near future. 
He can never go on his computer now that it is in the basement as we
have to be upstairs to supervise Erik and everything.   So if I am not
home he has to be upstairs and even my laptop is in a place that doesn’t
give you the best view of what is going on either. 

Well I am done eating my lunch so it is back to work for me.  I will
have to post this when I get home as I can’t assess my blog from work any
longer.  Bummer!  Don’t they realize that the 30 minutes while I eat my
lunch is the only free time I have all day!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day with your loved ones!!!

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova  – 3/4 – Everyone loved this book, but I really didn’t get that excited over it.  I had a hard time staying with it.  It probably would have been better to read this one rather than to listen to it.   I am not that big on vampire lore either…..
