I have actually gotten some things accompished today?! I cleaned off the dryer-YUCK!- so the neighbor can figure out why the washer is leaking!! i vaccuumed! I cleaned off the computer desk!!! (but now i have random piles sitting on the floor of papers/magazines and odds n ends stuff i don't know where to go with!)

i am going to pay some bills, go to the post office, shower, eat lunch and head to work!

Tired!

I am not sure what got into me last night to work a double?! (scheduled from 0700-1900, but worked till 11:30 pm) got home at about 0100! then was chatting on the phone with a friend until almost 0200! By 0730 the dogs were barking- let then out and went back to bed until 1100! still not enough sleep! My head is a littl foggy! It's a BEAUTIFUL day out a little warm.... I really should do some yardwork... but i think i am just going to take the "kids" to the dog park for awhile... they were locked up for a long time (THANK my lucky stars that we have an awesome neighbor who came over and let them out and fed them !)

The two cats are lounge on the computer desk.... oh the life they lead... damn it that reminds me i have to CLEAN out there boxes- damn it-- the one bad thing about cats... we should have taught them how to go on the toliet!! The other 2 beasts have stopped pestering me... that means either a. they are up to no good and i can hear them... or b. they actually are laying down?!

oh NOPE there back in the puter room-bugging me!
I hope everyone has a fantastic SATURDAY!!!

Off to the movies tonight-- yeahhhh chick flicks :)

Monday's

At least I am off! Granted I did work all weekend!!! I got home last night and Nick was exhauseted so we ended up going to bed by 9:30!! well I was up at 12 having to go to the bathroom REAL bad- I swore it was closer to morning!!! Then up at 0500 for temperature check then at 0600 with Nick when he left for work.. then at 0700 when the dog started barking! Shessh!

I broke my phone yesterday... well the ground did- I dropped it when I got out of the car and it landed on its antenna which intern doesn't work anymore.. I have 2 weeks of my contract left... I planned on switching services (Nick has US Cell- and there family plan is cheap.) So as soon as the Charter guy comes to pick up the cable box(sometime between now and never) I can head out... but for now its LAUNDRY time! woohooo party time!

Now to the less pleasant part of my posting this am...
My "imaginary" friends need your prayers! The Fox family in Washington- especially little miss Hadley. She is dieing of brain tumors. She had her Make-A-Wish on Saturday- she was the best princess I have ever seen! Can you PLEASE send up some prayers for comfort, peace, and patience for momma Fox PLEASE! They need all the prayers they can get!
You can read or get more info at her caring bridge page http://www.HadleyFox.com
THANKS!!

Today. 9/12

Happy Birthday to my other brother ~ JOAL!!!!

and belated to my step-mom- Candy on 9/6!

Hope you have a wonderful day today!!!

well... we met some friends out last night.. I told Nick before we left I have to pee on a stick... he did the dishes too - gotta love that-- and it was - still... sooo we shall see!!
Off to my moms for a little bit- she bought a puppy off craig's list- a weimer/wire haired mix of a thing! she is 6 weeks old!! can't wait to see her!!! Then off to the bank and the dentist!! fun fun fun!!

Thoughts...

Working yesterday was a little different... I knew what the day was and what had happend 7 years ago... I remember what I was doing and where I was heading... I can still hear the radio announcers playing in my head. I remember what songs other radio stations used later that day as a tribute with frantic voices of callers trying to figure it all out. Everytime I write the numbers 9/11 on a piece of paper I remember that it isn't just a date/day anymore- it has significance. I personally did not know anyone that died that day- but my heart breaks for them and for there family and friends that are reminded every year nationwide why and where they died. I can't imagine the guilt or the utter horror of the people that were supposed to be at work or on there where across country in a plane- and for whatever reason they weren't that day and have to remember that gut wretching feeling- it could have been me!
7 years ago there weren't moments of silence during your morning coffee or commute, but now there is and forever will be. 7 years ago there weren't questions of what is happening or what do we do now....
My father and I went out east and saw family out in New York about a year later i think- we made a trip down to Ground Zero- I will never forget that feeling- in the middle of a bustling city- there was an erie quiet, there was a smell and a fine layer of dust that went on for blocks. It was different. There were still large portions of the towers just sitting there- our flag was still hanging on the adjacent building- larger than ever. I will never forget the silence that was so deafing that I could feel it deep in my skin. That day we were there (my father, and 2 cousins and I) had a picture taken- I HATE that picture- its a great picture- but there are smiles on our faces - we weren't happy to be there- but we were smiling in such a place where soooo many now have come over the last 7 years and wept. Where trapped people screamed and cried to be set free. Those people are now free and 7 years later we remember them.

My brother is in the Army National Guard and was sent to Iraq over 3 years ago now- he remembers why he was there everyday.
Thank you for fighting for all of us. Thank you to everyone that has come and gone in the last 7 years that have fought for US. I continue to pray for all who need them during this time.

We will never forget.

I love sunny sundays!

Sitting back in my computer chair- the sunny shining in my eyes through the window... hubby sitting in the living room watching a movie-- one cat sleeping soundly on the desk.. the other.. who knows- the dogs.. pacing non stop- one can settle and lay down the other not so much!
I am really hungry- I am sure that hubby is too.. but i have to check on the rest of the world first...see whatever one else is doing.. and what i should be doing...
yesterday i did manage to leave the confines of my house and pull a crap ton of weeds out of my "weed garden" but there are still a ton left to go... we went out to a comedy club last night with my brother and gf and her friends- it was fun! very funny dudes!
I think hubby and i are going to a movie today and who knows what... we shall see what the day brings!

as far as what is happening inside by body- i have no idea~ my computer chart decided to revamp it yesterday with my new temp- and now it says that it is unsure if i ovulated.... so i went to supposed to have AF yesterday to- the unknown- but then if i entered my temp from this am (took it again a few hours later when i really was getting up ;) it went back to telling me i ovulated but i wont get AF till the end of this week now... i am fighting the urge to POAS (pee on a stick) but i am sooo don't want to see a negative-- it is still early- but i feel NOTHING. not a pang, twing, ping or cramp. so.. i think i am back in limbo land- that is not a fun place to be.... I will be making a call to the doctor i am sure of within the next few weeks... Science is so facinating when its happening to other people.

Yeah!

WOOHOO-I just got my new passport today- I had to send my other one back because we got it -right- before we got married- and you have a year to change your name without having to pay again.. so i sent it in a few weeks ago-Not that i think we are ever going to need it again!! (We got them for our cruise last July- and of course we never got them in time!) oh well now i have it though-- just in case!

Well i had the day off today-- yeah! but i pretty much ended up spending darn near all my "extra" earned money at the vet! Frankie went in for his neutering-- poor thing is still "drunk"! but a few weeks ago he went in for his annual checkup and shots- we did preop blood work so it would cost so much the day of... well Briggs ended up hurting himself -somehow- 2 days ago and has been limping-- which hasn't slowed him down any either- but i brought him with when i picked up the cat- and we got a script for some anti-imflamation meds- and will try that for 2 weeks- its his shoulder apprently but it could be a number of things.. so hes been stuck in his crate to rest now..... so i spent about $500 in the last few weeks at the vets-- and i have to go to the petstore and get dog food tomorrow- which will be another $100! oh the joys of "parenthood"!

and on that note-- i am spotting so i am pretty sure we will be onto cycle #2 this week- and we will be very diligent now!
I went to a baby shower for a lady at work- she is due 10-22 i told her he has to come 1 day early (my b-day) and the rest of the group found about another coworker- shes about 7 weeks right now.. so i was the filling in a baby momma sandwich-- i need all the help i can get! i can't wait to see the picture! hahaha!

busy day of cleaning tomorrow- i am vowing rightnow that my house will be guest worthy at all times!! i was at 2 houses today that make me feel aweful about how my house looks! so i will have to devise a plan-- because i HATE house work!!!! and i hate doing it all on a day off!
best go find where the cat wandered off too!!
