Long time

didn't realize it had been that long since I've posted..things have really been busy here...running my Mom and Sister to lots of doctors appointments and my own. Taking the Auntie to the dentist and baby sitting. Last Wednesday I went and picked up my Mom and brought her to the house. Thursday morning she had to be at the lab early for blood tests. Then we did breakfast, went and picked up my aunt and took them out to see their brother, stopped and got lunch on the way home,played alittle bit of cards then came home and had supper and watched Survivor. Friday was Mom's surgery. We were at Unity at 6:30 and out of there around 10. Mom is staying the whole week end with us. Sammie dropped the grandkids off Friday afternoon so I had Mom AND the grandkids. We had a blast. Taught Kayla how to play Skip-Bo. She's got the game down but she still needs to figure out the strategy. They're all growing like weeds. Today is Church, take the kids home, go pick up my sister as her and my Mom both have doctors appointments tomorrow,church and then come home and collapse. Its been a very busy week. I have this next week of (so far) not much going on and then the 4th of March we fly to Colorado for the a long week end to see Shaun..we'll be back on the 8th...late. It probably will be our last trip to Colorado as Shaun goes to MP school in May and he's not sure where he'll be stationed after that. He's thinking either Fort Drum in Watertown or Fort Lee in Virginia. Either way it puts him closer to home. So I guess that's it for now..I need to start breakfast..I have a crew to feed here.

Friday Morning Ramblings

Well...I've been up since 4:00 AM. Just couldn't sleep anymore. Yesterday I worked out as usual and then got home to remember that I had to handle the unpleasant task of going to town hall and telling them I couldn't renew Amee's license because she died last September. I don't know why its still so hard to think about but I cried all the way home. I miss her. So I just got home again and got a phone call from a lady at church that she didn't know how to get the DVD to work at the house of the lady I baby sit for sometimes. I wasn't sure either because they got a new TV but I know how our's works so I went over and figured it out for her. Then I sat and talked with her for a while. Sometimes we just need somebody to sit and listen while we pour our hearts out...I was the listener. Made supper which consisted of boneless skinless chicken breast in Garlic and Herb marinade, a broccoli,cauliflower,carrot veggie mix and white cheddar shells. Also tossed salads for the Hubbs and I as I had a partial bag of salad mix that needed to be used up. They had a Survivor preview show on and you know I had to watch that. Survivor starts next Thursday !!!!!!!! I can't wait. Sat in bed with the heating pad on my bruised leg ( still is tender ) and finished up my Ben and Jerry's. Ah...the life of luxury. Today's plans are work out and then heading over to my cousin's house to spend the day with her and my Auntie. Tomorrow's plans I believe involve grocery shopping and a basketball game at Nazareth College. Hubbs works there and live basketball is about the only basketball I can handle. Football is my game...which reminds me....SUPERBOWL !!!!!!!!!!! Come on Indy. I really only like them because the QB is Peyton Manning who was the QB for the University of Tennessee..which is where my Mother in law works. She's a recovery room nurse at UT Hospital. So it looks like an action packed week end for me.

Catching up

Well lets see...I ended up on Thursday last week...Friday I went and worked out,had an appointment early afternoon and then went and picked my Auntie up and we went to Buffalo Wild Wings. First time she'd been there and 2nd time in a week I'd been there. It was good.Saturday the Hubbs and I went grocery shopping and then I went to the gym with the lady I baby sit for occasionally. So that was 4 times I worked out last week. Worked out Monday and then went over to my cousin's and hung out for a couple of hours and played Skip-Bo with her and my Aunt. Monday night I had to do bills..Don't know why but this month was really hard mentally to pay bills. Part of it had to do with the switching insurance over thing. Tuesday I worked out and then....hmmmm...what did I do the rest of the day? Not sure...till my Mom called and needed me to come over to Clinton Crossings and have me jump her car. Then the Hubbs called and said I didn't have to make supper..he'd take us out. I love when that happens. So we went to Camille's in Pittsford. I had "The Michaelango" hot wrap and that came with a mixed green salad with Raspberry Vinagrette dressing and a bowl of Red Potato Cheddar soup. On the way home we stopped at Mona Lisa to get dessert but they didn't have my Festa cake so we went to Wegmans' and picked up Ben and Jerry's. Light Phish Food for me..Yum. Today I had an 8 AM Doctor's appointment. Glad that's done for a year..LOL. Then went to the gym and did my work out. That makes 3 days this week. Someone (Nicole) said I should take a day off but I really feel the need to go as often as I can and get myself in shape. I walk on the treadmill for an hour and work out on 9 strength training machines but I'm not killing myself. I'm going to stay on the same weight for 2 weeks and then the week after next I'll go alittle heavier. I'm so fat and out of shape I can't move sometimes..now I'm still fat and can't move sometimes but its because I'm working out my muscles. Oh and at 2:30 I have an appointment for the dog to get her shots so we can board her while we're in Colorado.
I'm getting kinda of jealous of the delivery trucks stopping at the neighbor's house all the time again. It just doesn't seem right that 3 or 4 trucks stop over there everyday..Maybe I'll have to order something so I can get a delivery too...Though at Christmas time when I did I was never home when they delivered..LOL.
I've got to figure out what to do this year to keep the deer out of my gardens. Last year was the first year they found them. Must be the neighbor didn't keep his bird feeder filled for them. I really need to get busy and figure out what I'm going to plant. And as I talk about planting veggies I look outside and see its snowing. I don't care..I love snow. I think I'm rambling so I better go now..toodles
