SIL might come home today.Toilet deposit will determine it. Ronan got to go visit his dad yesterday. We watched Collin while they were gone. He slept for an hour and 20 mins on me...Boy, howdy, that kid is getting heavy!!! I'll be going over this morning to help Sara out then to the library to drop off book donations then walking to the post office to drop off mail then nothing!!!

Chris - Oppse! Glad your SIL is doing well!
My eating has been so off.....working on eating clean today
I worked from home today and did a Barre class...wow that was hard (and different!) Not easy with my ankle and shoulder (I'm a mess!) But it was good to try something different. I will do it again.
What are everyone's plans for the long weekend? I'm having a BBQ for 25 on sunday....plan on trying to do food shopping this afternoon to beat the crowds...
HAPPY FRIDAY!

Ronan was off school today...holiday for their District...I had my trainer at noon for 60 mins. We went over to help Sara and Pete with Collin and Ronan late afternoon. Sara made mac & cheese for us. Tomorrow will be different. They'll need our help in the early evening instead of the morning. I'll walk to the post office and back in the morning then see what's what.
Have a great weekend everyone!!

Morning ladies. Yesterday was my birthday. Ron took me to a wonderful restaurant in Atlanta “Rays on the River”. It’s on the Chattahoochee River and has beautiful views. We had a wonderful time, great food and walked around after dinner and took a few pictures. I’m sharing a few with my friends.

Beautiful, Kathy!! Happy Birthday!
We have Evening Collin Duty today, so I'll be walking to the post office after another gallon of coffee and some food this morning...
It is beautiful outside!

Don't know if I'm walking today or not. I slept REALLY late and am kinda lazy...might just read all day since SIL's mother has Collin Duty today and we don't!! Might just do nothing!!

Chris so glad he is doing better. And that you got a rest day.
Kathy Happy Birthday. You look wonderful. As always. I dress so grumpy. I need a makeover.
Hi Karen. Hope all is well.
We put 3 of the largest windows in the shack. I am calling the cabin the shack.
The one photo is Lester our friend and Rocky after opening up the window space for the last large window. 3 more smaller ones to go

The next two weeks are going to be crazy hard because SIL can't lift Collin. UGH!!! And Sara goes back to work tomorrow.
Pat and I will be back and forth the entire week. SIL's mom can to tomorrow and Wed after 11 which allows me to go to my trainer Wed. Thurs and Fri are going to be very long days!! Next week is still to be discussed.

Shelley, I love your pictures. Cool shack!!
Chris1 -
Thanks Chris. He is so lucky to have family to help. We all are not so fortunate. I can't lift my shovel. Sure wish you could drive out and help me.
We put in another window today. Hardened some and just goofed. It was beautiful. Another window tomorrow. The last one will have to wait for scaffolding.

Shelley, got my keys, purse and swamp water ready to go just give me your address and I'm outta here!! bwahahahah!
Sara called last night, so stressed because her MIL changed her plans and will not show up until 1:00 today instead of 11:00. So I have Collin Duty 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.. My brain is sobbing, my back is breaking, my knees are throbbing!!!
Pat and Ronan will do Ronan's school here today because our housekeeper is coming and someone needs to be here for her.
I'll be alright!!

Went to the gym for the first time since Mom’s surgery. With my trainer for 30 minutes and 30 minutes on the treadmill with 20 minutes at incline 12.
Love the cabin Shelley. It’s coming along really fast.
Hang in Chris!

Kathy - Hope you had a wonderful birthday! I've been to Ray's....wonderful restaurant!! Love your pics!
Did a 50min walk tonight...tiring work day for sure. Hoping tomorrow is better!

Sara has no idea how good she has it. A super mom to jump in at the drop of a hat. You are wonderful. And Pat is there to help also. And silly, you have my address! Pom Poms up. When should I expect you? Or are you waiting for the plumbing in my new little shack.
Kathy so glad you are moving again. My workouts were on hold for the long weekend. Someone goofed and framed up a window wrong. Fixed now.
Karen I walked a little tonight. Not as much as you. So inspiring.

Kathy - congrats for getting back on track...well done!
Shell - I agree...Chris' family is super lucky to have such great support! It really does make a world of difference.
We are at the home stretch of school. Final exams. Next Friday (June 9th is the end of the school year.) Bella has been interviewing for summer jobs. She's looking at grocery stores and retail. Steering away from food related jobs because she has a lot of issues around food and is quite overweight. Keep your fingers crossed!
I'm back on track also...working to move more and stop the darned snacking at night. I don't think I am eating enough at dinner to be honest and am then hungry....so trying to flip that.
This weekend has a LOT of eating ahead. My mother-in-law is in town so taking her to dinner tomorrow, Saturday is a graduation party and Sunday is a minor league baseball game (with awesome food)...I'll have to pace myself lol!
Have a great Thursday!

Thank you, Karen.
We get to spend the entire day over at the kids house. Pat will set up Ronan in the computer room for his school work then he and I will help out with Collin. Pat will put Collin in Pete's car so Pete can take Collin to Sara for his afternoon milk snack then Pat will help Pete unload Collin when they get home. We will stay until Sara gets home. Fun!!

Took a 20 min walk today and did a 60 minute yoga class tonight.

30 minute workout with trainer this morning and 1 hour in yard pulling weeds and cleaning up this evening, Makes such a difference to be busy. Mom set in her chair and supervised. Nice evening.
