124 & 35

Hey friends. 

How do you like my princess? 

Too freaking cute! 

And looking way too big, lol! And btw, those are clip on ear rings, lol.

So, I'm up late putting a brisket in the oven & starting some pinto beans in the slow cooker! Mom worked on the deviled eggs & potato salad this afternoon while my head sent me outside away from the kids & tv. 

Sometimes I love the country! I can go outside & be greeted with quiet! (If you don't count the occasional animal sounds)

Add to the list bbq'd chicken & ribs and some sweets, We are going to eat like country royalty tomorrow at the 4J! Anyone jealous yet? 

I'm tired of complaining about my head so I'm just not doing it today. I am just gonna keep on keeping on.

Thanks to all my loved ones (friends & family alike) that keep following me day by day. You are all very special to me. 

I hope everyone has a great night & an even better Labor Day tomorrow. 

123 & 34

Ok guys, long day is over. 

I started a headache this afternoon & the pill didn't quite kick it. I tried to push thru a birthday party but by the time we left my head was throbbing. 

So I took another one, used about a third of my peppermint oil & am laying down. 

Here's a quick recap of today...

#1 - Maddie & I joined her cousins & grandma in the Oatmeal festival parade in Bertram today... 

#2 - we picked up PayPay & Vanna!

#3 - went to a bday party! 

#4 - started the night swimming early, & mommy is calling it a night... 

Goodnight friends

Day 122 & 33

Ok, let's get back to yesterday! :) 

Here was the first pic from me sitting in our seat without zoom

It was lots of fun! Would have been tons better if he had actually played, but oh well! I'm glad I realized that the day before...that would have been so disappointing to only realize last night, lol. 

It was fun to watch... You know that he put his helment on every single time the offensive line was up, and then he would switch to the visor when it was time for defense. Very curious....hmmm

In any event, I swear I didn't stare at him the entire time, I did watch the game. 

The stadium was awesome... So big! 

No Bud Light though Nicole! Had to do Miller or Coors... So basically Miller lite or water, lol! 

We had a good time with friends, even if it was very short! 

Of course at some point yesterday I screwed up my phone... No texts coming in... Fun times. So I messed with it for hours... No bueno. Went to Verizon, nope... Need to Go to Apple store, sure. I think I finally fixed it, but as I'm not getting any texts I don't really know for sure. Oh well. 

So, here is a pic of tonight's activities....any guesses? 

I'm sure you guessed it. 

We are the bomb diggity here at 4J! 

And for the inquiring minds... No Meningitis! :) 

He thinks they are Rifampin-induced Migraines made worse by the sensitive nerves in my head (ha ha! No laughing! I mean from the shingles!).

So he gave me some Relpax to take...so far it's working :)

So I don't remember if I wrote that yesterday or not, & right now I'm too tired to check, lol! 

I am going to assume I didn't, and if I did at least you are being reassured of my results. ;)

Allright friends, hope everyone has a great night! Sleep tight my friends! 

Day 121 & 32

Ah...I was less than 30 yards from Peyton Freaking Manning! 

And he was posing for me... Taunting me, if I may say so myself. ;) 

I should fine him. 

Lol, anyways, even though he didn't play tonight I got plenty of looks in. The Broncos played well once they warmed up & Osweiler did a good job too. 

It is way past my bedtime, so the rest of the photos & story will have to wait til tomorrow my friends. 

Hope everyone has sweet dreams!

Day 120 & 31

Another day another dollar.... 

Maddie enjoyed her 3rd day of kinder! 

Yay! :) 

Mommy had a good day being on-call for work, & got around to a couple good conversations that I've been needing to have. It's amazing how much better & lighter you feel when you can get things off your chest. :) 

I also got my appt moved to 8:30 tomorrow so that it wouldn't interfere with our travel time! Score! 

That's about all I have, small nagging headache the latter part of the day, but otherwise I'm doing great. 

I've got to get back to painting my nails orange & blue! :) 

Goodnight friends! 

Day 119 & 30

Another day is ending... 

I felt productive today. :) Took Maddie to school, went grocery shopping, did a load of laundry and took the well-deserved nap. Then Maddie & I worked in the garden (when she took breaks from swimming) & planted some new plants & seeds, & fertilized. We made dinner & after bath Maddie & I made mini-muffins! 

After she was tucked in Mommy took a well deserved Lavender bubble bath! 

It looks like I will have to wait til Thursday for my dr appt... He better make it speedy, it's cutting into my travel time to see Mr. Manning & the Broncos Thursday evening! Watch out! 

Well it's about past time for me to hit the hay. Goodnight friends!

Day 118 & 29! Yikes!

So, Maddie had her first day of Kinder... And she loved it! She came home singing & telling me all about it! Yay for school! The yucky part is I found out today that homework starts next week.. 

So, the next topic, my appt with the dept of health. On one hand I was super excited to see my sweet grandma nurse...on the other hand I didn't really like what she said. I'm down another 3lbs (yay in my book!) , but she was concerned with that & my headaches. We discussed frequency & severity of them & how they related to the ones from before on the INH... Which I realize I was being a baby, those little headaches were nothing compared to these, lol. Silly me! 

Well that coupled with me having a low grade fever (I completely blame on the fact that it's August in TX & 93 degrees at 1030am).. And that my occipital lymph nodes have been enlarged & hard for the last 6-8 weeks didn't help. Long story short... She wants me to see my PCP to rule out TB Meningitis! For reals...I'm not shitting you. 

You guys know what this is, right? The medical professional curse...anything that is rare & could go wrong will go wrong... Lol... I have to laugh. Or I will cry... Let's all laugh!! Ha ha!!

Anyway guys...I'm all good. Just waiting on hearing back from the dr. 

Hope everyone has a great night! Sleep tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite! 

Day 117 & 28

Tomorrow is Kindergarten!! :) yikes! Thank The Lord I have the day off. It's a big day for C also...it's his last-first day of high school! Wow! He's such a great young man... Can't believe how old he is getting to be. The time is gone so fast. 

So let's take a minute to send well wishes to all the kids going back to school this week. :)

Not too much else to talk about... Some headaches off & on. Last nights one was bad, couldn't fall asleep, but today they haven't been too terrible. 

Tomorrow is also my appt with my nurse :) the sweet grandma one is back! 

I'm gonna to head to bed now, wishing everyone sweet dreams!

Day 116 & 27

Oh my... Well Maddie & I & John all did our ice bucket challenges. Grandma did hers too! So we all did our part! :) 

You'll have to check out my fb page for the video. 

I have been good today, headache off & on, despite two boys & Maddie around. 

But I'm about to try that a Excedrin Migraine again. 

Here's a pic of my girl picking tomatoes today. Planning on re-sowing the garden next week for a fall crop. Wish me luck! 

I love how big my two tomato plants are :) 

Allright guys... Goodnight! Sleep tight!

Day 115 &26

Fun day at the a Blue Bell Creamery in Brenham today with friends.. :) 

Good times :) Maddie had a blast... And we all had ice cream...twice! :) 

And I must say that I know I've been nominated for the ALS ice bucket challenge, and I've missed the 24 hr mark. Yesterday I had a serious migraine... And I need someone to video & no one else is home. So grandma will have up come over tomorrow. It will be done :) I love that so many people are doing it & spreading the word about ALS. My very first project in Nursing school was on ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's disease)

Which I knew absolutely nothing about back then. It is a terrible disease. 

I saw this today on fb & thought it was cute... 

I hope everyone has a great night. Thanks for all the well wishes from yesterday, I appreciated them all! 

Good night!

Day 114 & 25...

Sorry guys, this is a short one. 

Super duper terrible headache. Ugh. It's all I can do to look at my phone to type this. 

I am hitting the hay. Goodnight y'all! Hope your night is better than mine. 

Oh yea, it was Maddie's last day of pre-k today. :( 

Day 113 & 24

Another day done...on to tomorrow :) 

I am a little nervous cuz my dept of health nurse called twice today & left messages for me to call back. Of course she couldn't call at a time when I could actually talk...one of the times I was taking a well deserved nap. Now there's no way I'm going to let a phone call interrupt my nap ;) 

I guess I'll have to wait til tomorrow to see what she needs. God only knows, she probably needs to reschedule my appt... Hope not, but only tomorrow will tell. 

So Maddie had three of her four cousins here today & had a blast playing with them. She was so happy... It almost made me forget that she only has one day of pre-k left! And then it's on to kinder!!! Yikes!! 

I had a good talk with my BFF...and found this awesome pic on my phone... 

Is that not the cutest smile? She has the most squeezable cheeks! 

Thanks for being my sounding board today bestie! Love you more than words! 

And after I picked up Maddie we went for ice cream (prob more for mommy than her) :) and them drove home singing songs... 

We talked to our "boys" once we got in the gate...I missed the cutest pic, but got this one

I was trying to get a pic, Frack was laying his head on Fricks back like he was saying "I love my brother"

But I missed it! This one looks like he's smelling his brothers butt, lol!

But seriously they look so cute & happy together! 

So here it is friends... Countdown begins! 8 days until the game!! Woo Hoo Mr. Manning!! 

Say Goodnight to the MAN in the moon :)

Day 112 & 23

Trying to squeeze in tonight's blog. :) 

I had a great dinner with 3 awesome gals. Thanks Shan, Becca & Donnalee! Love you girls so much! :) ready to do it again when everything is not so crazy! 

Another long workday, why does it seem to go slow when you make plans? Lol. :) Maybe cuz it's a 12 hr shift...hmmm

Anyways it was a good day. Tomorrow  I'm supposed to be off but I have an early work related class & a couple other things pending...one of which might be lunch with my BFF? Maybe? :) 

Its a good feeling to have friends who care & listen when you need to vent/cry/rage...lol, all of those things. I'm blessed with some good friends who are there for me. And I have a pretty great family...just saying. 

Headache again today, just a minor one that's been hovering below the surface all afternoon. Overall I'm feeling good. Still taking those red pills every single day. Which reminds me that it's about that time. 

I'm gonna sign off & say goodnight to all! Hope tomorrow is filled with great things for all my peeps! :) 

A pic of Maddie's rocket ship that she's been working on for a while now. :)

Day 111 & 22

Today was a very emotionally draining day. I'm so glad it's over. Just want to crash & get ready to do it all over again tomorrow. 

 

I come home to my super excited little girl....why? American Ninja Warrior is coming on! Yay! Again she is so excited & cheering for all the contestants. When one doesn't make it she's all "aw man! Try again...you can do it! " lol...she is so motivational. :) 

She got so excited when the first guy made it all the way through. Yep, these are the fun times here. :) 

Well I'm gonna call it a day. :) needing some peppermint oil tonight.. 

Goodnight friends!

Day 110 & 21

Another fantastic laid back day. I finished my refried beans & they are great! :) so I made some breakfast tacos to freeze & heat later 

And we have a new friend here at the 4J! Frack has been re-united with his twin, Frick!!! They are so freaking cute together! 

So that's our fun times here! :) 

My Broncos won! Woo Hoo! 

And my next fave Manning boy is 3-0 so far! Way to go boys! (Oh yea..the rest of the team Broncos & Giants) 

That's about all my stuff today, Maddie is insisting that she "needs to invent something" tonight, so I'd better go. 

Goodnight all! 

Day 109 & 20

I love Saturdays off! :) low key, not too much happening. 

Just in case you haven't smiled yet today.... 

How about my cute little Grey Beard? :) She had just finished rolling around in the grass after her bath. Silly girl.

Well today was a ribs-slowcookingallday-creamed corn & potato salad making day. :) And I am experimenting making homemade refried beans today. They have been slow cooking today also, should have a verdict in the morning after I "re-fry" them. Wish me luck! 

And once again my loves are taking turns diving for the glow stick (well Maddie says it's a majic one tonight) 

And Karen, she doesn't dive from the side of the pool, just from where she is swimming. She swims fantastic though. She jumps & does cannon balls though from the side of the pool. 

I am so thankful for my great friends & family! You guys all know who you are. Thanks for keeping up with me & being here for me when I need support. You guys rock.  

(And if I could once again say this...mean people suck. They know who they are too. ) 

I have been watching friends do the whole "I'm thankful for" thing on fb. Honestly I don't know where I would start... I am extremely blessed in this fantastic life. Every trial I have been through has helped me become a better person. I can & have learned something from every obstacle / hard time  in my life. At the time that things happen I can't always see that it will help me become a better person, but it always does. At least  it helps me honestly look at myself & see what needs to change. 

Allright, enough warm & comfy happy thoughts for tonight. I'm going to get back to enjoying my family. I pray that everyone else is half as happy as I am tonight. :) 

Goodnight y'all! Get some beauty sleep so you can be ready for some Peyton Manning vs 49ers tomorrow! 

(For anyone who doesn't know, that will be the day I'm at odds with my BFF...her team vs mine. Let the trash-talking begin as soon as I say... Love you Nicole!) let's go Bronco's!! Woo Hoo

Day 108 & 19

Whew...it's finally Friday night! :) 

Sitting on a swing watching my loves swim in the dark...you guessed it...diving for glow sticks. :) 

It was a rewarding day at work.. Emotionally tiring for me but I feel like I helped out someone...which makes it all worthwhile. So it was another good day. Yay! And I have the next two days off! Holla! 

I did promise to do Maddie's nails with the Jamberry I got her...I'll see how that goes, lol. 

And I didn't make it through today without headaches... Minor one still in progress. Peppermint oil here I come. ;) 

Otherwise it seems all is well here at the 4J. 

I hope everyone has a great night! Sleep tight!

Day 107 & 18

Damnit! My post disappeared! How does that happen? Lol

Well, just so you know, it was very insightful & deep. ;) Too bad none of y'all will ever see it. 

It started out something like this... I had a great day at work. I love my job, esp on days where I have great bonding moments.  I am lucky on days like this. I hope tomorrow is half as good. 

And then it was Kindergarten Open House....and Maddie loved it! I have been worrying about where we are planning to send her...but it looks like it will all work out. 

Man, the time just flies by! 1 more week if Pre-K & then BAM! She's in Kinder! Wow. 

And I'm sure I am jinxing myself here, but no headache tonight! :) yay! 

And with that I am bidding you all a Good Night! 

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10152681952916318&id=129494626317

Day 106 & 17

Another day is almost over.  Ready to get back to the grind for two days starting tomorrow. Gotta gear up, lol! :) 

So I don't have much to report today. Same story, different day. 

Hope everyone has a great night, I can finally take my meds & go to bed. :) 

Goodnight friends!

Day 105 & 16.

Man, it feels like the Rifampin countdown is taking forever...crazy, huh? It's probably just cuz I'm keeping track of both numbers. Oh well. 

Of course it's another headache day... Seems like I keep hearing that it's a big side effect from Rifampin. So that explains it. They really suck but still, it's better than liver failure & permanent peripheral neuropathy, right? :) I'm starting to cope with them better. 

And onto a fun day. A day off...and lunch with my bestie :) Love me some creamy jalapeño dip!  Then came home to nap... & then swam with the fam before making dinner with mom. That's a pretty awesome day. There are still days where I look around & can say I'm a lucky girl. 

I am seriously neglecting my older sister though, we need girl time soon. Sorry sis! I love you!

So, back to the swimming part...for the last week or so we have been seeing a lot of the members of our local 4J bee colony. They really like the left scupper. I couldn't get a good clear pic (cuz the suckers move so dang fast) but here are a couple... 

Yea, not very good pics, but there are acting like they want to move in. And only on that one side. Hmmm. I noticed that they really like the wild Texas-sized sunflowers in the backyard. John thinks they may be getting their drink on & getting some food & going back to their hive. I don't know...just don't want them relocating to the scuppers, lol. Obviously they don't bother anyone, Maddie still jumps off from the top of the wall & they just hang out. I just like them better when I can only hear the hive from the backyard. I prefer a distance of at least a few hundred feet. Know anyone who speaks bee? ;) 

There is a local beekeeper in Liberty Hill that will come out & set up a hive that they can harvest from...I'm thinking of calling them. More on that later. 

Everyone else is already in bed, it's my turn. Hope everyone has a good night & sweet fantasy football fantasy dreams. ;)

Day 15 & 104 - just another headache day

Good day overall...until this afternoon when the storm rolled in. I think it woke up that headache that had been sleeping peacefully.  Oh well, can't win them all, can we?

Currently I am rocking my peppermint oil & chillin in a dark room. Well, dark except for my phone. :) 

There is a possible big event tomorrow. Wish me luck! 

Has everyone gotten a chance to see the new Manning brothers a Direct TV ad? Fantasy Football Fantasy

It's awesome...love that they have such a fun side. 

Allright guys...going to call it a night & try to rest & recover. Hope everyone has sweet dreams! :)

Day 14 & 103

Some days are just fantastic work days. Especially when you work with really good nurses. :) It was a super busy day, but not overwhelming. I think staying busy helped me not dwell on my head. 

Before bed I used the peppermint oil again. I really like the scent & feeling. My head has been more of a dull ache & not so terrible. Yay for small victories! 

Well is better hit the hay, we all have busy days tomorrow..and it starts early. :) 

Goodnight friends! 

Day 13 & 102

What a day. This headache pretty much never went away , started from waking up. I've taken every NSAID I have & went out & got peppermint oil. Which I really like...it helped me relax & not feel so bad...for about 15 minutes. I also took a bath with it & the lavender oil that my girl Stef gave me a few months ago. That was nice...but still didn't kill it. 

Nothing has made it go away totally today... I have had some minor relief, but I think it's a little too tough to tackle at this point. 

So I just rubbed more on my temples & the spot on the back of my head where it really hurts. And took a Xanax. And I'm going to bed. That's what I'm hoping for anyway, lol. 

I've got to try to get some rest so I can gear up for my babies at work tomorrow! I am making myself go. What better place to be with a headache that won't go away than a hospital? I can always go down to the ED if it gets too bad. 

Thanks for the helpful suggestions guys. I really do like the way the peppermint oil makes me feel...thanks Joyce!

Praying that I just need some good rest. So goodnight friends! 

Sweet dreams

Day 12 & 101

Oh my... Where does the time go? It's been a crazy fun busy day today, emotions not as bad as they have been. I'm having faith that good will prevail. :) Or trying to anyway. 

Can you believe that my baby is starting kindergarten in two weeks? For reals! 

How does it happen so fast? I am excited & sad about it... Which totally makes no sense. 

I am going shopping tomorrow to try to find some peppermint oil for Joyce's suggestion for my headaches. Cross your fingers for me. I hope it works! :) if so it's way better than taking another pill.

And who watched the Broncos last night? Heck yes! :) who cares if it's preseason? It's a win! Yay! 

Nice! I can almost hear the "Hurry Hurry!"

And I'll leave you with that tonight. 

Goodnight friends.

Day 11 & 100 - blah

Allright guys, I'm still in the dumps but I promise to not dwell on it. I'm making this one short. 

Today has been ok. I went shopping at Costco & darn it why do they have such cool stuff? I go for two things & end up with a cartful of food & a Halloween costume for Maddie. And that would be why I only go there about once every couple of months. Lol. But I did get their chicken Alfredo & had an easy yummy dinner...score. :)

I'm wondering if my headaches aren't allergy related. I'm gonna take some Allegra or something to see if it helps. Otherwise, physically I'm good. 

Oh, Rant #1! I can't watch my Broncos play tonight's preseason game! I'm catching up listening on the radio. 

Rant #2

Mean people suck - and damnit why doesn't karma kick in yet & slap deserving people in the face? And I absolute despise how some people hide behind God & pretend they are good people just because they quote scripture. Talk about fake assholes. 

One last part - if you don't want to know what crazy ass thoughts are in my head then just don't read my blog - and don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out. 

That's it, end of rant! Lol. 

Maddie is begging me to play sword fight with her before bedtime, I'd better get to that then. Goodnight friends!

Day 99 / 10 -ethics /morals

Ever play the game of telephone? Don't you love how words are completely changed around halfway through the circle?  I for one do not appreciate it. 

Communication is super important, & sadly it does not always come out right. 

I am completely guilty of sometimes not completely listening to people & mis-quoting others...but never maliciously. I try to be an upfront person who is willing to be completely honest with the people in my life. I have my faults & own them, I strive to be a person that my children can look up to & respect. Do I always hit that mark? No, not quite. But I am willing to admit my mistakes & move on. 

Part of being human is being flawed. Part of being a good person is being willing to admit when you have messed up. Another part of being a good person is not hurting others. 

These are lessons that so many people have forgotten. Sometimes I lose sight of doing the right thing...as all flawed people do. I try my best to be the best person I can...sometimes it feels like it's not good enough.  Sometimes I feel like I'm not allowed to make a mistake. I think our society judges others unfairly. I think it has become second nature to a lot of people. 

I am trying my best to teach Maddie to be a forgiving & nonjudgmental person. (As far as C. goes, he has two of the best people I have ever met raising him & teaching him right from wrong...I have no doubts there :) Thank The Lord)

I have made many mistakes in my life & I feel that I have always faced them head on. It is important to be able to admit when you are wrong, that is something I believe in 100% . And that sucks. It is never ever fun to face things head on & admit mistakes. I have done this on more than one occasion & have first hand knowledge. Lol...if only we could ever learn! 

I guess the whole point of this is that today was an enlightening day. No matter  how honest & good you try to be there is always someone out there waiting to judge you, or knock you down. That is a sad fact of life. 

Sorry for the sappy, down post tonight. Sometimes you can just feel when change is needed & right. I feel like I need a change right now. I have been thinking of how I can live my life for my children... And there are changes that could be made. Do I make them? How can you tell what is right? Why is being a good parent (and person for that matter, lol) so hard? Damn this is pretty deep stuff, huh? 

And no, I'm not boozing it up, although sometimes that option sounds very good. :) 

I am trying to be a good person...I am trying to be a responsible person & attempt up help stop a public health crisis for Gods sake! (.  ;) drama much?)but seriously, I take my responsibility in society seriously, whether others do or not. No one can change my view on that. I would hope anyone would want to help make the world a safer place for our children. 

Anyway, getting past my drama for today... I feel good physically. Emotionally I'm a mess because of how "friends" are treating each other lately. Hell, maybe a side effect of Rifampin is mood instability..,I wouldn't know as I'm trying to not google info on it :) 

Sorry for any who don't want to read my drama... I just couldn't help it today. :) 

Some days are just a pain... And my way of clearing my mind is to blog about what's on it. I thank God daily for the blessings in my life... My children, family, friends & stable employment. Those are the important things in life, family being #1, not selfishness. 

Now that I've cleared all that out of my head...I'd like to call out my BFF... I texted her earlier & told her I needed a pick-me-up. Here's what she sent me...

Now, I dare anyone to say there is a better BFF anywhere. She made me smile. Thank God for good friends, especially those who understand crazy.  And thank God for the mothers who raised them right...to not judge crazy. 

I can't complain about life, I have been blessed thus far, & I have faith I will continue to be blessed. All of this drama crap is small, and not important. 

I have gotten off of the demon-meds & onto something more tolerable...small victories! :) I have an amazing family & friends. I have amazing extended family & friends who read my crazy rantings to help me vent. Life is pretty good... And in my heart I know I'm a good person :)

Day 98 & 9

Busy day #2 of 3 at work...let's see if I can make it through #3! :) I'm sure it's gonna take some Starbucks, lol! I am hoping that tomorrow is as good as today was. Love working with great peeps!

Well I'm sad to report that it's another headache day...ugh, but it's bearable. Just wonder what that's all about. I am making myself stay away from reading any Rifampin side effects so I don't put things in my head, lol. Not that there's room for much more of anything in there. :) nevertheless, I'll take the headaches over the neuropathy & liver failure any day. 

Other than that life is great around here. I'm ready for a day off on Thursday, really looking forward to sleeping in a little. Maybe then I can read a little bit & catch up on some things so that I will have something fun to write about. 

Allrighty then, I'm gonna hit the hay now that Miss Maddie is all tucked in. Goodnight friends!

Day 97 & 8.

Just another manic Monday.....one of three down! Two more to go! :) 

I have to say that I have felt so good lately. I guess the upside of the INH trying to kill me was that it helped me lose weight. ;) I hope I can keep it off...it's amazing to think that I'm over 20 lbs lighter than when I started this. And the fact that people are noticing is pretty cool... Makes me feel good. (As if I did anything to make it happen, lol)

I am super lucky to be the mom of an awesome, sweet, encouraging little girl. We are sitting here watching American Ninja Warrior & she is so excited...she's cheering all of the competitors on & is honestly bummed when they don't complete the course.  Such a sweetie!

Well that's about all I have tonight...gotta put my baby girl to bed! Goodnight! Don't let the bed bugs bite!

Day 96 & 7 - football is back!!!

Pre-season or not...but I'm a happy girl!! And it's one of my top 3 QB's... Eli!

Yay for football! :) 

It's been another lazy weekend out here... I did finish with the garden & cut back the 3 in 1 tomato beast, lol. The sweet hubs let me sleep in on both days, today especially. :) which was super helpful & needed, seeing as I went to bed around 730-8ish last night cuz of a headache & didn't get up til 9 this am. That was nice! 

Tomorrow starts 3 in a row...please pray for me! :) 

Here is a pic that Linette sent to me from yesterday's visit... 

Fun times! :) 

All right! I am gonna focus on the last quarter of this game now that the kiddo is in bed! :) goodnight friends! 

Day 6 & 95

Fun times at the 4J today. We had a great visit from Aunt Netter today! :) 

Madfie thoroughly enjoyed herself & played hard today. 

And yes, for any curious minds, I did work in the garden today. I have a bit more to go, & I think I may have to cut some of the tomato plants, as they are trying to take over the deck! Lol. 

More work to come tomorrow!

Now it's bubble time with Maddie & Daddy....I'm also foreseeing another round of hide & seek glow sticks in the pool once it gets dark. Fun! :) 

Who says there's nothing fun to do in the country? 

That's all I have.... I have a monster of a headache so I'm gonna try to hang out with the fam while I can. 

Goodnight friends!

Day 94 & also 5!!

Day five kinda dragged along...until close to shift change when.... Bam!! Let's make you actually work for your $. Lol.

Fun fun times! I am so very thankful to have two days off before my 3 in a row starting Monday.... I am ready to chill out. John tells me that I need to work on the garden tomorrow...crap! When he tells me that, I have seriously been neglecting my garden! I know it's so very true...damn. Don't you hate when you let things pile up & ignore them til you can't anymore? Darn it! Let's hope I can get some things done tomorrow...

So, I ended up working late to help out... So I'm hitting the hay now. Good night friends! :)
