I did real good last weekend - all of my goals were weekend oriented because that is when struggle. I got in all my water, meds, and vits on both days and only pigged out one day instead of both days.

I'm off today, but I brought a ton of work home with me. Ever since I got that promotion, my in box has become the office dumping ground. Oh well, I guess I asked for it. I'm about three weeks behind in my homework. I just haven't had time to do it because I've been working late at the office and bringing work home with me on weekends. My house is beyond dirty, beyond grimy. It's just plain disgusting. I guess I could be running the vacuum cleaner right now instead of being on here, but anyway, that's my weekend - work, school work, and house cleaning. Fuuuuunnn!

Hey Chick-ita! Sounds like an interesting weekend. A divorce party, huh? Strange yet intriguing. Rich and I had a party a month after my divorce from Bill was final. It was sort of a house-warming since he moved in with me. But Bill wasn't invited. LOL! Have fun with all your doings especially the one-on-one time with Holden today and the concert on Sunday. As for me... I'm working today. I'm not sure if I'll work the full day or not. I'm going to wear a jogging suit. Don't get dressed up on holidays. Well, I don't get dressed up on most days but I do not wear jogging suits on non-holidays. LOL! Tomorrow, Rich and I will hit the gym. Then drive out to Leesburg. We'll have lunch. Then we are off to the tattoo parlour to get my birthday present. Pictures will eventually be posted. Then we'll come home. Rich will head to work - he is working 8 ot midnight. Then I'm heading out to a nice Russian restaurant with my friend Ingrid. Her birthday is today and mine is next week so every year (since we met in 1974 - first day of high school) we do a birthday celebration of some sort. Sunday - no set plans so far. Have a good one! Hugs, K

Well, Becky Sue - you've sure got a great attitude through this. That is wonderful and that is what will get the kids through this. Geeee, you've got more of a social calendar then I do - that's for SURE!!! Today I've got a list of phone calls to make, apts. to set up, and I've got to take my dd to the eye doctor (she failed her school exam and DOESNT want glasses). Tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday: We're pulling up every inch of carpet from our house. My allergies are bad and all the carpet is ancient and causing me lots of problems. After we get it all pulled then we're going to fix any weak spots in the subfloor and put a sealant down on the floor. I have no clue what we'll put down on the floor, but it won't be carpet. Yup - that's it!!! No social anything for me this weekend, just workin' around the house. You enjoy yourself this weekend (especially at the concert). Im' sure it will make the 'reality' of Aaron's househunting a little easier. >>>>>>>
