It's the weekend

I'm so ready for the weekend!! I need a day off. Too bad I can't rest & relax all weekend.
I'll do a little cleaning & cooking. I plan to spend most of the weekend preparing for the
sb retreat in March. I also need to clean my closet. I wear 1/8 of the clothes in my closet.

Thank you

We received a large basket full of fruit. Thank you so much P. G was pretty excited that someone was thinking of him. He will eat most fruits. He's a little pickier w/ his veggies.

Colinisms

Kids say the darndest things. Our little guy is no exception. I don't document half of the things he says but I will document this morning.
He's out of school for presidents day. Last night I shut my door because I was going to bed & they were still up. Colin couldn't believe I had to work on President's Day because he is out of school.
G called me to tell me what Colin said. G was cooking breakfast & Colin came in the kitchen & said, "Daddy it's against the law for you to cook. Mommy is supposed to be cooking."
I want G to find out where this information came, who is teaching him this sexist stuff.

oops

I like to get to work no later than 6:30 a.m. This morning I woke up & felt very rested.
I didn't look at the clock; about 30 min later I looked at the clock & it was 6 a.m. I forgot to
set my alarm; it normally goes off at 4:45 a.m. so I can hit the snooze until 5. No wonder I felt
so rested. I rushed to get ready for work. I tried to let the garage door down after I pulled out & it went back up; twice. So I jump out the car, unlock the front door, go to the garage & see that the door would not go down because it's off track. I yell for Grover & he comes out groggy.
I go grab the ladder & was able to get it back off track.

When I got back to the car. I sd to myself this is not going to be an indication of the kind of day
I'm going to have. It's Friday & I'm going to have a good day. Some sick people that really should have stayed home drug themselves in to work so I'm spraying Lysol all day. No offense people but I can't afford to take that crude home. Next I get some not so good news from my new boss. That's OK. I'm still going to have a great day!

Happy Valentine's Day

I had a great lunch w/ my Valentine at Pei Wei. We had to find something not overly
crowded & fast service. Of couse I love Pei Wei so it was perfect.
He had a dozen roses in the car & my gift a CD I wanted for months.
I shared a few of my roses w/ other ladies that didn't have a Valentine or that didn't get
any yet. I've been there & knows how it feels. Most of the time my roses are given to
me at home or the evening. I was so thrilled w/ my Valentine that I felt compelled to
pay it forward.

The afternoon will be interesting when I pick up Colin because his class is having a
party & he will be sugared up. We tried to pack extra protein in his lunch & for breakfast.
If he has protein before sugar it seems to help.

I didn't take a photo of my roses but maybe I'll post an older photo of other roses.
I'm especially grateful hubby didn't give me chocolates this yr. I love
chocolates but I'm trying to get healthier. Besides we have tons of chocolate
at work & it's tough to resist. I'm especially grateful that he pushed through his
lack of energy just for me. I feel very special.

Brighter day

We've had our trials lately but the sun still comes up. We will survive.
Colin is doing much better w/ his behavior. We are rewarding good behavior
& it is working wonders.
G has been in the bed 4 straight days. I stayed home w/ him yesterday to cook
him some nutritious lunches & do some cleaning.
He started to perk up a little late afternoon. I'm back at work today, he sounded much better when I called this morning.
