Thursday for the mindless

I'm so excited that the DOW reached 10,000 again.  If I could re-coup half the money I lost over the last year and a half I will be a very happy camper.  I have a meeting in mid-town NYC this afternoon and it's supposed to be raining cats and dogs later.  I hate taking the subway in the rain  . . . . everyone smells like a wet dog.

It's supposed to be in the mid 90's here today.  Yesterday was about the same.  My arm is sore from bowling with the Wii.  DH is at pro level and is now becoming annoying with his advice.  lol

I'm having Cramps today too. Ugh.

Sar training is tonight. I'm so looking forward to it. It is so interesting and a lot of fun. The dogs love it too. Its very cool to watch. Lily is a total natural. I'm really surprised at her work ethic with this. We found her calling - no doubt about it. Anyway, tonight I will hopefully get my final sign offs for my field support training. I have to be able to map, navigate out of the woods and pace off distances. Then sunday I will take my test and hopefully be field certified. That way I can go out on jobs. Lily has to pass 3 levels of certifications before she can be deployed. I think that she is almost ready for level 1 but I know that my mentor thinks we are going too fast so even if lily is ready I don't think they will allow her to test yet.

Isn't that what you usually smell like, Deb? 

I attmepted to make breakfast this morning.  It didn't go well, so the kids & I swung by McDonald's on the way to school.  The food kinda sucked, but the coffee was good.  The kids didn't complain, so I suppose that they had no issues with the food.

Only on the weekends.  During the week I smell like Coty's Vanilla Musk.

Nope.  The toast was ok, but the eggs were still gooshy.

MeOW ladies!!  Ouch, poor Amanda!

I think it's time for me to pull out all the rain gear.  We've had two full days of on and off HEAVY rain and more coming today.  That in itself wouldn't be so bad, BUT this being the deep south, rain just makes the air more sauna like.  Cooler temps coming this weekend, so they say........

Today is going to be a mess....tons of errands to run rain or no rain.  Gotta be done and gotta be done today.

Oh, Amanda knows we're just messing with her.  Thought we'd give Jackie a break this morning.  LOL

Today is the tax deadline and then I am a FREE woman until January!!!!  Not really, but no more taxes for a few months.  :)

On a not so positive note, my dad called me last night to tell me that my mother has rectal cancer.  She is having an MRI tomorrow to find out more about it.  I am scared and keep wanting to cry.  I am trying to be brave and not worry, b/c it won't do me any good, but I just don't want this to be happening.  Any prayers or positive vibes you guys can spare would be appreciated.  She had a colonoscopy last year and nothing was mentioned so I am hopeful that it has been caught early. 

Oh no Sarah . . . . . sending good vibes for you and your family.

Sarah, so sorry to hear about your Mom.  I'll be praying for her.  {{Hugs}}  

Amanda, breakfast is easy.  Cereal + milk + banana.   I get scared when I hear you have been in the kitchen using fire and possibly sharp knives.  That can easily end up in the ER with your history. lol  

Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom.  She will be in my thoughts.

Jackie, I actually am a capable cook, but I don't particularly enjoy it so DH usually handles it.  This morning, I had a few distractions that sent everything down the crapper.  DS#1, conveniently 'remembered' that he had more homework to finish that he had 'forgotten' about last night.  I forgot to give DS#2 his Vynase this morning when I got up, so instead of him waking up nice & focused, he was bouncing off the walls while we were trying to get ready because it hadn't kicked in yet.  He, Bevo, & Brinxx were running zoomies through the house.  (He doesn't take meds when he doesn't have school, so I'm used to this but when you're working with a fixed amount of time, it gets frustrating.)  Then, to top it off, Shooter climbed up on the dining table & was eating on the centerpiece that I just finished making yesterday!  After all of that, still raw eggs were the least of my worries.

ETA:  Paige, I hope that surgery is going well for your dad!
