Well, I think Ds only slept for 3-4 hrs last night. He fell asleep on the couch before we left for church, slept walked to the car, slept all the way to church and couldn't even drink a cup of hot chocolate. Since we go to SS and late service and my parents go to early service I sent him home with them in hopes that he rest. He didn't really nap but he would have been miserable in church.
My mommy got me a new table top griddle!!! I was so excited. I had one that I used for french toast, pancakes, that kind of thing. A couple months ago the plug melted the area where it plugged into the griddle. Then a few uses later I noticed that it was sparking some and pulled it out and a bunch more sparks came. It was totally fried. I've been disappointed because I usually make french toast or pancakes aat least 3 times a month. I was so happy to have a new one.
MY ss at church gave me some perfume. i don't usually wear it because a lot of scents bother me. This one didn't smell too bad so I put a little on. When I first sprayed it, it ws real strong but I think I like it. It's called Odyssey by Avon.

My dad says my van is fixed. It looks like it was the clamps that attach the resoivour to the car that were bad. They were loose and letting things drip. He replaced the clamps and said it is looking good. He ran it in the driveway for a while and no drips. When I go get my dinner we will take back mom's car and get my van back. He wants to check it every day we see him though: which is at least 4 days a week.

Great about the van, Zoebob.
We had dinner with my dad and his family. It is always a mixed blessing. I love them all, really, I do. But I am somewhat depressed these days and was in a pretty bad mood today, plus I am still really tired and not feeling great. And I have to go back to work in the morning.
My baby sister gave me two lovely roses that I can put on my desk, though 
I also got to talk to my dad about the canoe--now I know what to do first, and how to repair some of the damage that it has. He said it needs pressure washing, though...do I have to rent a machine for that, or maybe just use my hose and scrub? I have to scrub some and do some sanding anyway...
The canoe has always been yellow. I have to repaint it in the end, and am hesitant to paint it anything BUT yellow, lol, because this thing is a family heirloom. But perhaps a red stripe or something. (don't worry, Cindy--no pink on this canoe!   )

I tried to post yesterday but this site wouldn't let me. Son and I did our annual bike tour--Columbus to Portsmouth and back. Full report is posted on my running site-- http://www.kickrunners.com/forum//showthread.php?t=28508 . We had a blast!
Once in Portsmouth I called dh. Since we met in '87 he's asked me to call when I get in. Plus, son was really excited about our time. But... "Hi! We're in. We had a great ride and finished in 6:41" "So why are you calling?" "To let you know we're in" "Oh" Luckily, the band started up (party in the park for the tour) and we couldn't hear each other so we hung up. Ouch.
Today I'm busy cleaning up the crisis situations dh created over the weekend. That's fine. I'm feeling pretty good today. Quads are a bit sore, but the more I move the better I'll feel. I'll get out for an easy walk/jog later today.

That is a really good idea. Unfortunately, we have no way to get it there. Which also, of course, means we have no way of getting it to the water, lol. Now, I can almost see the water from here, so I think we will build something on wheels that we can pull along the sidewalk, but we have to fix the boat before we worry about that, lol. My van does actually have a hitch, but we have no trailer.
I really don't want to go to work today. But I am a big girl...I can do this.

LOL, I think you underestimate my canoe. It is about sixteen-eighteen feet long, and 3 feet wide, made of wood and fiberglass.

Yah, cool and gloomy here, too. Four loads of laundry washed, dried and folded. Also put away two or three others. Cleaned our bathroom. The kids and I did a 3mile walk/run/roller blade. Felt good to get the legs moving again.
I can't hear out of my right ear again. It doesn't hurt. I just can't hear and my cheek feels funny. Doctor suggested I try allergy medication. If it doesn't improve, he wants to see me.

Hi, everyone!
I am totally worn out. Plus, AF showed up--8 days late, but late is better than never, I guess. I worked in the lab today with no ill effects--thank you for your prayers!
I am making Brandon cook and Nate make tea for me. I should never have sat down when I got home.

Hi All! Well, dh went back to work today. I'll miss having him around so much, but it will be nice to start getting back to a schedule. My parents are leaving tomorrow morning, so that will help us get back into a routine too. It was Hard to get up this morning. We haven't had to use an alarm very often in the last 5 weeks! We have MOPS this morning, so I need to go get a shower & get the kids up in a little bit.
Ds broke a board at Karate last night - he was pretty proud of himself! He also got 1st place in his sparring match at the tournament this weekend - that's his 1st first place since he started! Funny though - they always had blue trophies for 1st place & red for 2nd, but they got new ones & the 1st place ones are now red & 2nd place ones are now blue. He thought it was funny that all his trophies are still red.
Dd was pretty upset yesterday, because we were supposed to go get her military ID, but we realized that we needed to get ds's passport because both dh & I had to be there to sign for it & it was his last day off work. We didn't have time to do both, because we wanted to go to the OKC memorial museum too. She felt like everything is about ds & really, he does have a lot going on right now & since her horse riding teacher quit, she doesn't have even that anymore. I need to make sure that I spend some time with her & find some special activities for her to do this summer. Dh has a men's get together Friday night & ds has Karate, so we may make it a girl's shopping night & go look for some sandals & shorts for her. We switched out her clothes yesterday & she really needs some shorts - she has several "play around the house" shorts, but needs some more presentable ones!
Can you tell I'm tired? I'm rambling on & on. Well, I'd better get moving! Praying everyone had a good night's sleep & has a good day today!

Amy, I know you'll miss having your dh around, but I'm so glad that he's recovered and able to go back to work. Congratulations to your son for breaking a board! I think you're right, it would be good for your daughter for you two to have a girls night out.

Hello everyone. It doesn't look very chatty in here lately. In some ways, that is nice! I can keep up better with the reading!
Today is a very busy day!! School, WIC appt., a trip to get grociers and other errands, and a trip to Iowa City. I really, really, HATE that this hospital doesn't give me the time of the surgery until the day before. I don't know if I am really leaving today, or if I can get by with getting up early and leaving tomorrow. I will also hear from the Ronald McDonald house today to see if I have a room for tonight, if it's a big room the whole family will come. I love family togetherness, but I am not very good at a "spur of the moment" family trip with last minute packing, calling coaches for missing games..etc. Either way... stay home tonight, or leave sometime today. It will be a sleepless night (I fear) with Noah fasting. Last night Noah was up constantly to nurse! I'm hoping it was because we were outside in the wind and cold for a few hours before bed time. I had trouble sleeping, too, because of that. My body felt "shot", including my head, and it wouldn't feel normal enough to let me sleep. There is something about wind and cold that does that to me.
My inlaws are planning on coming this week, too. They will either be here the same day I return... of, if we all go, they will come the next day. She is such a clean freak, it will be hard. But, I will enjoy their company, too, since we don't see them that often. She is a sweet mother-n-law and I have learned to love her over the years. She is kind of funny to me now... she always tries to "fix" my husband. She sits around and tries to figure out how he can have more money, health insurance, and everything else. It use to annoy me. now, I know better.

I used Sudafed and ear wax removal drops from Walmart. Not sure which was the cure since I did both at the same time and after 2 1/2 weeks of not hearing I was desperate... but I can hear now. The stinkin ear wax drops is oily though and made the inside of my ear break out. That hurt!
