Can't work outside and don't want to paint, so I'm going to bed!

Going to bed is GOOD Sandy, you are still recovering, even though you might think you are fine. I'm glad things are going better at work, seems like you and your boss and worked things out a bit.

Judy, I read where J.C. Penny's is going to change their operations and lower their prices by 40%, which means, I'm sure, they are going to sell cheaper merchandise. The article I read said they will have a weekly special, but will not have the massive sales like they have been doing. I hope so since I have thought their prices were too high, except when they had at least 40% off sales.

In also heard no more prices at $3.99, 18.99 Etc. It will be $4.00 or $19.00 did I hear that right?

Yep. That's what I heard too

Karlie came home from school today. She was pale when she got home and complained about a stomach ache but she seems to be fine now. We did have a bug here with Glen being sick so I'm not sure if she's sick or not.

Tonight we're going skating for Kera's birthday and I'm planning on going to Wal-mart as well. Tomorrow is my birthday (Kera's too) and I invited Jaci to go to some flea markets with me!! I'm not sure where but we'll find something good........if she can go!!! She's been busy helping Nate with field work........so I played my "but it's my birthday" card!!! So hopefully she'll get to go!!! I'm so ready to get out and away from the house.......and the kids!!!

Diana, happy early birthday in case I'm not on tomorrow!!! I hope you have a wonderful day and I hope you get to go to flea markets! Sounds like fun!

Janet, I'm glad you're waiting to paint! I hope you get your MRI soon.

I have not slept well in days! Layla is having issues lately with getting water at night. I am not sure if she just doesn't want to get up and bother Kash or what (he is really alpha especially at bedtime and if he even sits and stares at her, she will leave her bed and go sleep in the corner on Scott's clothes). Anyways, at least once or twice a night she will cry and cry and cry. Scott sleeps through it, so I get up and try to push her along to the water dish. Sometimes she will go, sometimes she will refuse. Then I have to bring the dish right in front of her and she will have a huge drink of water. Then everything's fine and she'll go back to sleep. Last night she did it twice, so I got out of bed twice. I have tried to sleep through it but after a half hour I can't take the crying!

On top of Layla, we also had Scott's neice at our house last night and the night before. She turns one next week. She cries between 2:30 and 3:30 in the morning. Last night it was for the whole hour. Her parents picked her up and put her in their bed both nights, but she kept crying. It's a strange place so I understand, but it's tough when we have to get up and work the next day. One of these days our basement will be finished and we can put babies and their parents in the bedroom down there! I am just not ready for crying babies yet.

This weekend we are so busy! We have a free consultation on Saturday at the place where we are renting wedding decor. We are going to figure out linens for the tables and probably chair covers and things like that. Scott's cousin and his wife might come out that night to bring his grandmother's glider rocking chair (Scott's mom wants us to have it for babies someday!).

On Sunday we are having our snowy engagement pictures! I was worried when it was so warm this week that the snow would all melt, but there is still some left. I am worried if we leave it too long, we'll miss our chance. This just hasn't been a good winter for snow! It's so weird because we ALWAYS have snow. I'm sure this year will be going down in history for how warm it's been and how many records we've broken already!

I went to the doctor with Gary this morning, his lung doc. He has been having so much trouble with his asthma this winter. The doc started him on a medicine that he hates to take. It's an inhaled steroid, it doesn't have any systematic effects like prednisone or anything like that. But, you have to rinse your mouth after you inhale it and he doesn't like that :roll eyes: - yes, that is ME rolling my eyes. I'll have to keep after him (read NAG) to get him to take it on a regular basis.

Over lunch we had a meet and greet with our graduate students and that is always fun. Then I got away about 3:00, which is always nice on Friday to get away early.

When I got home Gary wasn't here, and I knew he was going to go to a movie, but he said he was going to the 1:00 showing, so when he wasn't home by 6:30 I was getting worried. He finally made it home and he had gone to TWO movies! LOL! He's such a geek.

[Blueyes]

Mike and I do that sometimes. We walk out of the theater, buy more tickets and go right back in, lol! It's fun I sure hope Gary feels better soon. I know this crazy weather doesn't help.

Betsi, unfortunately it's the cedar at the deer lease that seems to be causing the problem. He had problems breathing every single time we went out there. He is not going to renew this lease and try to find something a little south where there are fewer cedar trees.

[DianaB]

Well, Jaci and I are heading to Wichita to go to flea markets!! She chose Wichita because she broke her wedding ring and it's guaranteed so we're taking it in to get repaired.

It will be a fun day!! No kids!!!! And Jaci's a hoot!!! Looking forward to laughing with her!!!

[Blueyes]

I hope you are having a fun day with Jaci! Happy Birthday Diana!!!

[Lindsey]

Happy birthday Diana!!!!

[DianaB]

Thanks Betsi and Lindsey!! We had a lot of fun!!!

Hi all! I have been in so much pain that I haven't been able to do much. I can't wait for the MRI on Tuesday, not sure how much more I can take. The Lortabs or anything else is not taking care of the pain or the tingling. Sometimes it makes me feel like I'm losing my mind. Yesterday I spent most of the day in bed sleeping so I wouldn't notice the pain. It will get better.....it better get better!

Whenever I wasn't asleep, I was working on getting my All-in-One printer to work. When my computer crashed I forgot all about making sure my printer worked. The attorney in Florida called and wanted me to send a copy of the title down via email and I thought 'no problem'. Except....my scanner part wasn't working. I finally have everything working now and sent the information off to Florida. Not fun when I'm not feeling good anyway. Sure wish I had more of the Prednisone to take...after the first few doses I thought it was a wonder drug until the doses kept going lower and lower. Just another hurdle and it too shall pass.

Today, I'm not planning on doing anything except getting some laundry done and soaking in a nice hot bath.

Since I wasn't on yesterday I have a lot of reading to catch up on.

[Lindsey]

Oh Janet I hope it starts feeling better soon! Hopefully they will find something out quickly with the MRI.

Today we did our engagement photoshoot! We met our photographer down by the river in the city. We did a few locations down there and he made us feel really comfortable so that was nice. It was soooooooooo cold though! I thought my fingers would fall off because of course I couldn't wear mittens and show off my ring I really enjoyed it though! It was lots of fun to do happy looks and serious looks lol. Scott and I both had lots of fun with it. He doesn't smile on cue very well so I had to dance around behind the photographer to make him laugh lol!
