good morning girls - just a quick check in before I attempt to get the kids up and moving. I feel like I am coming down with a cold so hope to have a quiet day and just relax today. I had wanted to get out to a big crafts shop around here but maybe tomorrow.

Once I get home I'm going to do some serious packing for vacation. That should help me feel better.

Have a great day - be back later

Hi- on my way out the door. Took advil last pm for a h/a and woke up around 11:30 with the worst heartburn I ever had. Burning so bad I was bent over. Took a pepcid and had to sit up for 2 hrs. before I got relief. Soooooooooo tired today. I have an all day flu clinic so won't be back until dinner time.

MaryLou- I hope you feel better. Please get some rest; for both of us!

Will talk to you tonight.

Have a great day

Hi Marylou & Martha

Marylou - I hope your not sick - I think your just tired taking care of the kids and not feeling that great to begin with- you really need a cruise - and need to sit outside in the sun and RELAX -

Hope they were good for you this morning.

Martha - ooooo heartburn - bad word I have a slight hiatial (sp) hernia so I kind of live on Tums - but some nights I wake up with terrible heartburn. Hope the clinic is not too busy today.

The earplugs don't help but the bed by the pool sounds like a great idea

Today I am home alone all day - yippee - but I guess I will clean the house - tonight I am going to work with Rich so we don't have to go in the morning and we will bring Nick with us - he says he has to get paid though LOL.

Tomorrow is a my friend Linda's Bday so we are going out somewhere I think to a Holiday Inn - OMG I have not been out - out in years - don't know what I will do probably hide in a corner.

Peggy- I am so excited for you!! We haven't been out in quite a while, either. I hope you have a wonderful time. Dance for me!!

good morning travel friends. Feeling a little better this morning. Not quite as stuffy but am so tired. I can't wait to sleep in my own bed tomorrow night.

Peggy - hope you had fun last night.

Martha - how are you holding up? You should be about 1/2 way thru by now, right?

Time to start the morning battle, so I'll be back later on.

Hi MaryLou- Glad you are feeling better! I bet you are exhausted. It's always nice to sleep in your own bed. I know you enjoyed visiting with the grandkids, though.

I have completed the first 9 day stretch and am off all day tomorrow. Have to get up early and take the car to have the brakes done. After that, nothing all day. Work Fri, then off Sat/Sun and Mon. Having Ashley and Aubrey for a sleepover Sat pm.

Next week, I did it to myself again! I work T/W/Th/F/S/Sun and then I am off Mon. Not so bad that week!!

Have to go; dinner is ready!

Hi Martha & Marylou

Marylou - Glad you are feeling a little better & I know what you mean about sleeping your own bed aaaaahhhhhhhhhh feels so good

Martha - Everyone cancelled - so we did not go anywhere - which was fine with me - I didn't want to go anyway -

I went out to Dinner tonight with Bob and just got home about 1/2 hr. ago.

I am ready for bed, so I will talk to you tomorrow

Peggy

Good morning friends - laptop is acting up (probably from over-use) so I'll just say a quick Hi and see if I can find out what is wrong with it.

Peggy - sorry your night out got cancelled but at least you got to eat out with Bob.

Martha - hope you have a restful day.

Time to get the kids up and moving

[waf125]

Hi MaryLou and Peggy!

Peggy- I'm so sorry your night got cancelled, but I hope you had a good time at dinner.

MaryLou- sorry your laptop is acting up. I have been really wanting a laptop, but I guess I will have to ask Santa- that's about the only way I could get one!!

Yeah- the car is in the shop so I am not doing anything today. I survived.

Got some bad news yesterday; my uncle had 2 brain tumors which were removed and they were cancerous. He will be discharged to an acute care rehab center and will need to undergo chemo. I hate cancer!!

Will check in periodically today. Have a lot to catch up on!

Martha

Hi Marylou & Martha

Oh Martha I am so sorry to hear about your uncle - I hope the chemo will work for him and he will be okay. Cancer is a nasty thing. My friend has a couple of tumors in her breast and is having a needle biopsy on the 10th of Nov. she is so upset.

Glad to hear you are relaxing today.

I am going food shopping - wow that will be fun LOL

Marylou - Did you find out what the problem was with your lap top?

Your coming home today, right???

The traffic is still backed up around Newburgh but only about 15 mins to get thru the mess.
