I've missed you all...

I sure have missed you all!    It's amazing how much happens in just a week or so! It will probably take me 2 weeks just to catch up on the news! Almost like make-up work at school, when you miss (huh, Tawnya and Beth?!) Well, in a nut-shell: I started the job at the "Y" back at the beginning of Feb. That's going well and I love it! Then, last Sunday, I was asked to come and work for a company (at least temporarily) starting the following morning. So my crazy schedule has been something like: take the kids to school, come home and get ready, take John to work,       go to work,  pick up the kids,    do homework,    fix dinner,   feed the kids,   take them to swim lessons,    go pick up John, come home and   CRASH!!!!! How do "working" mothers do it?  Just when do you do your menu planning, grocery shop, clean the house, do the laundry, EXERCISE, in addition to the above and church? ( vs. )    Plus keeping up with my mom - who has pneumonia and my friend w/ the preemie and all those issues.  Then there are my beautiful, but neglected  friends, here on the board. Please know that you are each very special. You are valuable and  precious to me --- even when I can't find time to tell you!  God bless you EVERY ONE!!    ~ Tara

We sure have missed you!   Glad to hear you are all right.  Was getting worried.   Are you ready for the mini challenge stuff yet?  I don't remeber what my starting weight was or my goal, but I did loose a few pounds.   All is well here, just missing you and Freddie.  I posted a thread to you the other day, but you were busy and didn't respond.  Life as a working mother is not a lot of fun sometimes.  I live for snow days (They're all gone now!) and spring break to get stuff done!  laundrey etc.  You'll get in the groove, it just takes time.   Hope to see you and John at the dinner club.

Oh my..... I gotta go take a nap...  This makes me tired just reading this......  LOL Okay, here hun I will fix it for you.....  Do this:  take the kids to school, then, come home and crash!!!!    Leave all that other stuff out!!!   See, I fixed it for you...  Aren't you glad you have me!!!!!!!!  LOL

Go****hat worked so well, i think I'll hand over my budget next... ~ Tara
