Not much excitement going on this week. Just a regular work week and I am not taking any time off for awhile. I am building up my personnel days off for several things that I am working on in the near future. I have at least two trips that I am planning if not three and I need to build up some time. More on the trips as the work out.

Two of the test that I had done last week has come back normal and I am still waiting on two more. I am going to go in the morning and get my flu shot. The hospital offers it free to their employers. It seems like t after going to a real doctor instead of the ones at the military base that I have more appointments that I really care to have. Most of them are just for precaution.

Tomorrow is our hospital wide appreciation day and we are allowed to wear jeans and our favorite team shirt. Of course I will wear my Alabama shirt. When we get the chance to wear something besides our uniform we jump at it. I hope the weather isn't to hot or we will be miserable. The hospital will serve us a meal. It is usually chicken, hot dogs, or hamburgers with a couple of side orders.

I am to meet Chad and Christy in the morning to help them load up a swimming pool. One of the girls that Christy works for has given her an above ground pool at no charge. It is to bad she has no wear to set it up, but by next year she may. She said they were going to try to get a loan to buy a house and even if they didn't they were going to move because she can't live two doors down from her dad because he drives her crazy. She told me that when she moved out from there that I needed to move in and I told her that there was NO way that I was going to live that close to her dad.

Christy only has about a month left and she will be so glad when it is over. I told her that I hope this will be her last one but I am not going to hold my breathe because I probably wouldn't live very long. Chad says no more but that is what he said after Jonathan and now her comes the third boy. Her birthday is next week and we are going to have pedicures done together for her birthday gift. It will be fun.

I am going to go for the evening. Have a wonderful evening and enjoy your tomorrow.

Got up this morning and decided to go for a bike ride instead of walking. I road two miles this morning. Tomorrow I will walk. Sometimes it is nice to change things up. I will probably do a workout also. I haven't been to the gym in awhile so maybe I will do that. It is just nicer to walk outside with the nice weather.

We had a staff meeting this evening and of course it was the same old thing as always. Sometimes they are informing but most of the time they are just a repeat from the month before and that is because we have workers that don't follow directions. Enough on that.

It looks like I may be going on a cruise with mom around the 11th of December. If the plans work out it will be fun to go with mom and some great memories along with pictures. I will keep you informed on the progress.

I have been looking at new monitors for my computer but so far I have not purchased on. I have found some good prices but I just haven't bit the bullet yet and ordered one. Maybe in the next few weeks.

Christy is redoing the boys room and she wants me to come over on Saturday and help her out. Her plans are to get the boys new spreads for their bed when she goes to the hospital to have the baby. Their room would be fixed up with transformers and when they returned home with a new baby then they would also have a new room to go. It will be something special just for them.

I forgot to tell everyone that Bama won again. Score was 41-30. They almost screwed up the second half. It probably wasn't a pleasant ride back to Alabama considering how they played the second quarter.

Well, I am going to call it a night so have a great evening and stay out of trouble.

Not a very productive weekend on my part. I spent most of the weekend doing as little as possible. Sometimes that is nice to do. I did manage to get some clothes washed but other than that nothing else.

I went to church tonight and the pastor had some really good news. We are in a building program and the man that donated 93 thousand dollars a few years ago gave the church a metal building that is worth around 250 thousand. This man does not even go to our church. He has watched our church grow over the past several years and wanted to be part of the ministry. He is a member of another local church. The church is raising funds for a larger building but the one that has been donated will seat about 350 more people than our building does now. Then in the near future if we continue growing them there is still the possibility for us to use the building for a gym for the school. Isn't God good!!! He gave us what we needed. Everyone at church tonight was excited that this time next year that we will be in our new building and also renovate the old building into classrooms.

There isn't a lot to tell since it was a lazy weekend but I wanted to share the good news with you. Have a great week. More Later.

Started my morning out by heading to the doctor for an ultrasound. I have no idea if they found anything. The nurse is suppose to call me with the results. I will probably call sometime Monday and see if they have the result yet. After leaving the doctors office I headed to McDonald's for a tea, an I read my book for awhile. I refilled my tea after a while and headed for work. The girl that I usually give a break to at one was not there so I took a longer lunch and I headed to Taco Bell. After eating I decided to read for awhile.

Work went well and I stayed until almost seven tonight. I worked in the office so that the girl in the office could go out with some of her friends. One thing I can say about my work place is that we all work together as a team. We had one girl come in today at 2:30 and she was having problems with her asthma, so several of us worked it out so she did not have to stay for long. We are always looking out for each other and there aren't many work places that would do that.

When I got home this afternoon I checked my e-mail and I had one from my mom and she asked me if I wanted to make to go on a cruise with her and I said that I would love to. It would only cost me what spending money I wanted to take. If she can talk Johnny into it then we will either go in November or December. When we went last time it was great. I really love just sitting outside and letting the wind blow my hair. This one would be better than the last one because I don't have to worry about a man to bug me. Cause I don't have one to answer to. YEA!!!! I will find out more information in a few days. If it works out it will be great. It will be something that I would be great memories that I would cherish for a long time, just being with my mom.

Tomorrow Chad and I are going to take the boys to Lowe's. They are suppose to build something out of wood. I have no idea what. I am going for moral support for Chad because Christy has to work. Jonathan went a couple of weeks ago and he made a pirate ship. He was so proud of it. I will probably go tomorrow afternoon and clean my car really well. I have got to get those love bugs off my car. They are some nasty bugs.

Alan went to the doctor today and got his stitches out today. He has a tendon under his arm that is pulling all the way down his arm but the doctor says that it will get better. He also told him that he needed to really work his arm by stretching it toward him or he would have no forward movement within a year. He said the doctor pushed forward and he almost came off the seat. He said that it really hurt, which I am sure it did. Sometimes he is just a wimp and yes I tell him that too.

Well I am going to go for now. I may or may not get a chance to write tomorrow, so I will catch you when I can. Have a great weekend.

As the day has come to an end I will look forward to tomorrow. Yea! It's Friday. Not much going on to exciting in my life. Just working and seeing doctors. What fun. Work today was alright. My kids were a handful so I decided the best thing to do was take them outside and let them enjoy the nice weather.

I will probably work until seven tomorrow. I will find out for sure sometime tomorrow afternoon. The lady in the office is going to babysit tomorrow night and she wants me to work for her. Extra hours.

No big plans for the weekend. I may have the boys on Saturday and if I do we are going to go to Lowe's for a kids workshop. They will build something but I have no idea at this time what it will be. Then I will be babysitting a little girl that is in the second grade for awhile. I lead such as exciting life.

Since there isn't much to talk about then I am going to go for now. Maybe there will be more exciting news tomorrow but don't hold your breath, you may not live long. See ya!!!!

What a beautiful morning to be outside. I got up around 6:30 and made sure that Riley got up for school and I had to wake him up again at seven. He was out the door in five minutes and I headed out for my morning walk. I walked just over two miles and it was great. The weather was in the low sixties with a little breeze.

When I got back from my walk I headed to Wal-mart to pick up a few groceries. Money sure doesn't go very far when you are grocery shopping. It doesn't take long to spend a lot and then you don't have anything when you get home. It is depressing.

Christy went to the doctor today and she gained three pounds and the doctor was pleased. She has only gained two pounds this whole pregnancy. She asked the doctor if he could tell her about what size the baby would be and he told her that an estimated guess would be around eight pounds.

I am off tomorrow. I have to head to the doctor for a check-up and then I am going to go clean my car. Then who knows from there.

Dennis, what did the doctor say about your foot? I hope your foot will feel better soon. I know how much pain your heel can cause.

Well, I am going to go for now. I will write more later. Have a good evening.

I made it through the day even though I wasn't really up to my old self. I am feeling some better today but my stomach is still a little blah. Maybe by tomorrow I will be back to my self. I decided not to go to the gym this afternoon due to not feeling great. Tomorrow will be a better day.

I am trying to get tomorrow afternoon off so that I can help Christy move an entertainment center. There is a place that buys used furniture and they said that they would buy it from her and she is going to use the money to buy the boys a set of bunk beds. I am not sure that I can help her out because nobody wants to work my afternoon shift. I will try in the morning and if it doesn't work out then I will just work. These girls complain about not having any work then when you want them to work they don't want to work the shift that is until six and that is my shift.

Christy is having trouble with her feet and ankles swelling and if she isn't careful they doctor is going to put her on bed rest. They may even cut her hours back. She only has six weeks to go. The doctor said that she may not go until November. Time will tell.

We are going to have some wonderful weather the next week. The highs are going to be in the eighties with low humidity and the nights are going to be in the high fifties and the low sixties. It will be great walking weather in the mornings. I didn't make it this morning because I wasn't feeling well but I'll be out there tomorrow.

There is not much news to write about. Things are kind of boring around here so I will tell you guys to have a great evening and more tomorrow. Take care.....

My day started off pretty rotten. I got up this morning as usually to get ready for church and I felt a little sick to my stomach. No trip to McDonald's because I didn't think My stomach could handle it. I took me some crackers and headed to church because I was feeling a little better. Made it through church and headed home.

After getting home I started feeling bad again so again I didn't eat because the thought of food wasn't good, I headed up stairs and hit the bed and there is where I have been all day. I have slept most of the day now I am wide awake. It is going to be a long night. I ate a few more crackers and I still feel BLAH. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Tomorrow starts another week and I sure hope I feel better tomorrow. I am off Wednesday for a doctor appointment. What fun.

Today Christy and I started out at about nine o'clock, we stopped by McDonald's and grabbed us a biscuit then headed to Ozark to check out a place called Kid's Market. We found several good buys and was able to get several outfits and things for the new baby. We found a few things for the other two boys also, just not as much.

After getting home a friend of mine had a dresser she wanted to get rid of so she gave it to Christy. we went over and loaded it up and headed to her house with it. We took Alan's truck so he decided to go with us. On the way home Alan and I decide to head to Taco Bell for supper.

This weekend has not been a good weekend for a diet because I have blown it all the way around. We had cake at work for a co-workers birthday and then to Savannah's party where there was more cake and ice cream. Then of course taco's for supper. Oh well, I will start over come Monday morning. Sometimes you just have days like that but always get back on track, which is what I intend to do.

Alabama did it again. GO BAMA!!!! 49-17 They now have four wins. Maybe they will keep up the good job.

Have a great day and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

I wasn't going to write on my blog tonight until I read the response from Dennis. You are not going to believe this but it was my right heel also. How weird is that. Mine hurt the same place that yours does and it doesn't feel good at all. I am glad someone has my sympathy pains. THANKS!!! I don't wish that pain on anyone because I know how it feels and it HURTS.

The birthday party went really well. She had icing all over her face. You didn't have to encourage her to eat her cake, she went into it with both hands and ate the whole thing. She had blue frosting all over her face. We said that she looked like a smurf. She had a good time.

Of course when I got there and my ex was at the door and saw that I was getting ready to come up the steps he slammed the door just before I got there. He is such a butt hole. I didn't get to spend as much time with Savannah as I would have like to because Carol(my ex's wife) had to take over and acted like she was the only person that Savannah wanted . I told Michelle that since I wasn't working on Wednesday that I would probably come over and spend some time with the kids. Other than that it was a good night.

Michelle's sister was over there and complimented me on the way I looked. She has not seen me since I put a perm in my hair. She said that she liked it and she also said that it looked like I had lost some weight and I told her that I had. I wore a skort to the party and Michelle told her sister that I had good looking legs and that was good because your legs usually go last. Whatever that meant. I guess I still have some good years on these legs. It was good to hear that someone noticed that I lost some weight.

I am going to go for now and do some reading. I have to go get Christy in the morning around nine. We are going to a large yard sale and see if we can find some things for the boys and the new baby. Want to tag along?

Howdy, this evening. My heel is doing great and I am sore from the workout that I did this morning and I new I would be. Tomorrow will be a morning walk again and then more cardio and then get ready for another day at work.

I will have to get the things ready to take to Savannah in the morning, for her birthday since I am going to their house right from work. I also have to take another outfit to change into just because I don't want to show up in my uniform. Our uniforms are not very flattering, so I would like to at least look a little better.

Well. not much to write on tonight. I will fill everyone in on the birthday party tomorrow night. I am going to see if I can set up the Picasa photo omline. Thanks Dennis, I forgot what it was called.
GOOD MORNING!!!! I got up and decided to take a walk outside. I walked almost two miles and it was a beautiful morning to get out. After walking I did a twenty minute cardio workout and I can tell it already. I will probably end up sore but that is part of the whole workout. I hope that my heel will do alright. It is hurting some but maybe the Ibuprofen will help. More on that later.

We have a birthday party to go to tomorrow night. My Savannah turned one yesterday so her party will be tomorrow. Look for pictures later on. Maybe by the weekend. I am still trying to figure out how to do the picture thing. I'll get it sometime. I may end up finding someone to show me how.

Dennis, where have you been hiding. I haven't talked to you in awhile. Catch you whenever.

It is that time again, time to head to work. More later on this evening. Have a wonderful day.
