Lazy Weekend

I have not had one of these in a long time - a lazy weekend. My son had a basketball game at 3:15 pm today, they won. In fact they out-scored the other team so much they had to shut off the scoreboard. Towards the end we were rooting for the other team to just make a basket.

I did find the awesome water that Ms. Molli shared with me - expensive but worth it. Metromint. Peppermint is my favorite. Good news my hubby said that it reminds him of mouthwash, so I get it all to myself. Well not totally to myself - Matt likes it too. Also bought that really yummy tea that we had at CKU, called Zen.

Tomorrow I may do a layout or two, I am definately going to hang by the pool.

X-Mas in July

Too funny - the crop I went to yesterday was Christmas in July and the Slot Tournament at work was X-Mas in July. I got to sit on Santa's lap - you are never too old. Kudos to Sheila - Mrs. Claus and Perry - Santa to dress up when it was 112 degrees.

We had a great time at the crop even if it was a boring crop - the Barbara CD has got to be destroyed. Someone take it and burn it - PLEASE! I completed 14 pages - I give credit all to the page planning that I did last weekend.

The conversation is never good on a Sunday when it starts out - Hi Deborah (no one calls me this - it must be important) It's Dr. Groom - I'm in the office today since I will be going out of town next week - I was wondering if you had a few minutes (okay, this does not sound good). You test results came back with a few abnormalities - one in particular that I need you to see a specialist. You do have a blood-clotting condition and since you identified it early we can start a treatment/prevention program. Now more than ever I have lots of questions.

Four down and one to go

It is almost Friday!

What a blessing. There are a couple of high maintenance people at work - entertainers - so they think. Yesterday they were exhausting, this morning my tolerance level started to slip and by this afternoon it was calm again. I do not understand why?!? They were hired (or contracted) to do a job - Just Do It (gotta love Nike). I totally hate to micro-manage people and I am not a nice person if this happens. Please, I beg these grown men to just do your job. This is just a job - Molli, love your posting.

I am so looking forward to Friday - Saturday - Sunday, even though on Sunday I have to make an appearance at work. Saturday I get to scrap all day with a great group of friends.

An update on my mom's blood work - she re-scheduled her appointment. Love her but she drives me crazy. Procrastination must be her middle name. Mom listen - take care of yourself. As for mine - waiting for the doctor to return my call.

So my major dilema at work - I have to budget next years rooms. Doesn't sound like a big deal but I have only been in this position for 3 1/2 months. I do not know what they did a year ago or 9 months ago. Oh by the way, this was suppose to be done in May - I was just told recently. So now I am scrambling to get historic numbers. So I am told to increase, ok, but what! This is one crazy ride that I jumped onto.

Too Fast and one down...

The weekend went by way too fast. Didn't do too much. Allergy shots on Saturday went well, then off to Nolan's basketball game - he won - HEY! Sunday tried to organize my scrapbook supplies for this weekend...I think I got everything...we'll see on Saturday at the crop.

The previous weekend I did a few layouts and here they are:


Okay, one down (Monday) and four to go. Mondays are always busy and Tuesdays are terrible - the day of meetings. 11 am forecast, noon meet with Cindy F. to go over the Black Hawk Casino, 3 p.m. Defcon and 4 pm Marketing. I can just hope before the meetings everything runs smooth.

Last week Nolan's talent show was so fun and every entertaining. All the kids that performed did an outstanding job. Kudos to the drama and music teachers. Singing, dancing, tumbling, karate and so much more all packed into 45 minutes. I am glad that Nolan participated in something other than sports.

I had to change the date of my surgery - I forgot we had plans on the 3rd of August then the next weekend we are going to Utah - we rented a cabin for the weekend of the 11th. So, the current plans are set for August 31st.

I cannot believe how the fast time goes by. July is more than half over and before you know it my son will be entering his last year of elementary school. Just to think he will be ten in August and Matt is 18 - wow. Crazy - Wow!

I was venting...

Well, after reading back the last posting, I was venting to the WORLD. I was so upset I did not even spell check - how stupid do I feel now.

Thursday I had a OBGYN apt. Crazy, cannot believe we talked about permanent birth-control. I made the appointment - August 3rd, is the big day for Tubal Ligation. The husband has not taken care of his side so I am taking the step. 30-minutes is all it takes and three days off. It is a Thursday, so by Monday I will return to work.

My mom's blood clot condition is hereditary. My grandmother has the same condition since her mid 50's. The same age as my mother. So I told the doctor on Thursday and he ordered a huge order of blood work. I hope it skips a generation (keep your fingers crossed). The lab tech. Was great, no bruising and she took 8 blue vials, 5 purple and one big one. Sounds like a lot, but it wasn't. With any luck I will find out next week if it is anything to worry about. Since I do not smoke and seldom drink we should prevent what just happened to my mother.

Do you know restless legs are caused from your nerves? Okay you are wondering how much time did you spend at your DR. APT. Well my doctor is great and yes we had a lot to discuss. The medication for restless legs is like a tranquilizer and you have to take it three times a day and increase the dosage over time every day. I choose not to go this route.

So did not get to see the movie I wanted to last weekend - I'll try again this weekend. I did get a few layouts done. I might post those tomorrow. Nolan has a basketball practice at 8 p.m. and a game at 2:15 p.m. tomorrow and he has a friend spending the night.

So glad its Friday.

Are you SERIOUS?

Getting put in the hospital was not enough? Seriously! So my mom is in town on business, she will be doing some training at the Metro training station on Cheyenne. I booked her in non-smoking (her doctor did tell her to quit - she must not have) she changed to a smoking room. So she is just here one night and she is getting a few thing out of her suitcase for her wonderful grandchildren and she pulls out a water bottle half filled with "BOOZE". Unbieveable! She said she will set up her own little bar. ONE NIGHT! This is crazy - Does she want to end up in the hospital again? Seriously - STOP! Like the first waring was not enough.

Today is the day of meetings! I usually get out of here late. UGH! Today and tomorrow my son is performing in a talent show at school - I cannot wait to see him - he is going to dance with a group of kids. I did not know he had rythym.

Last night I did get a nice box of goodies from Ginger - thanks.

TGIF

What a long week at work. I just got out of a two-hour meeting and I thought it was going to be 10 - 15 minutes. What a fool I am! Nolan has basketball practice tonight at 8 pm - Who picks 8 pm on a FRIDAY? So I need to quickly figure something to eat for dinner... hmm.... sounds to me left-overs are the way to go. Yesterday Carol, our house cleaner made her bi-weekly appearance. At first I felt guilty about having a "maid" until Barbara at work said "I was not put on this earth to clean - it is just not in me!" I agree - why should I feel guilty... I work hard for my money, I can spend it which ever way I want. The point is - It was really nice coming home yesterday to a very clean home. I am looking forward to this weekend. Maybe a movie - I am thinking the Devil Wears Prada - anyone up for an afternoon movie?

3 layouts and time with the family

I spent the 4th with the family. My husband hates buying fireworks, feels it is a waste of money, but the boys always ask...He must have been in a really good mood. After BBQ-ing steak, shrimp and roasting corn on the cob we went out front with the neighbors and the entire street had it going on.... Nolan had a blast running around with sparklers.




Earlier I was able to complete three layout and here they are....

Stars and Stripes

Last night we went to the 7th annual North Las Vegas Independence Party - It is getting so HUGE! So many people, lots of food, just a great family event. The fireworks were great. Embark (formally Sprint) gave out beach balls, frisbees and kites. That was a big hit with the thousands of kids. On the bad side, the band sounded horrible. Happy 4th!
