    Nice job Kate!!

    I am stressing at the amount of stuff I have to get done today...

    Register for my BA classes & work on my CEU's as well
    Transfer kids to new schools or try to keep them in the old
    We move in 45 days - have 2 storage sheds for all our ****

    Kim, that definitely sounds like a lot, but remember it will all get done....try and breathe and just get through it!!
    Good Luck!!!!!

    Everyone seems to be plugging along. Kate's kickin *kitten* with all those zeros. I am...well..not.

    Had wine last night.

    It will be a 0 or maybe 1 glass of wine tonight. The son and his buddies are partying..this is the last night they will all be together for the summer...one is heading on vacay tomorrow..and several go back to college next week. They've decided to dress up and are throwing a party...I told them I'd provide the house and the booze...but everyone turns over their keys as they walk in the door. So I'll be the DD. Could be a long night. :huh:

    I love these kids :heart: I can't believe the summer is over for the group..luckily Preston still has another month and a couple of the guys will be around for a few more weeks.

    What handsome men, Syd!!!

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-0...the two sips I had from Len's beer don't count :wink:
    Thursday-0...I know Len will come home and crack open a beer after our walk, but I am going to be strong. Only one more day then I can have something. Len has been getting into meads and cysers lately, so we have about 3 bottle at home...we will most likely destroy one or two tomorrow :bigsmile: We have a cyser in secondary at the moment, I'm excited to see what that's all about!!!! :drinker:

    Sydney- great looking bunch of young men!
    Kate- am envious of your zeros. Makes me think about, possibly, maybe some day, if the time is right, and I am not thirsty, and have the strength, and pigs fly- doing the same! :drinker:

    Hey all! I'm still here chugging (or actually not) along. Thanks for checking on me. My desire to drink comes and goes. The weather has been amazing for August in KY. Temps in the 80's and low humidity. I was off yesterday and Eric came home and cracked an IPA (which I don't like so no biggie) but as we were sitting on the porch, an extra dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives sounded pretty good. Then I had dinner with 2 girlfriends and had an overly sweet virgin daquiri. Still....I think not drinking has been easier this time.

    I'm still working out, shooting for 4 days a week. Still running, although rather slowly and for shorter periods of time. I'm enjoying the extra food calories.

    We're in the process of hiring a contractor to tear off 2/3 of our back roof and create a third bedroom and play room upstairs, so that's been fun. Hope your summers are all going well! I can't beleive we're halfway to September!

    Beers last night....

    I went to TRX/Kettlebell class yesterday and it is the most killer thing I have ever done. It made me thirsty, for sure. :wink:

    LOL...what Gary said.

    I had 2 glasses of wine over several hours while the boys partied. They had a great time....and I even got a dozen white roses from them. I cannot believe summer is over for the group...I've known most of these kids since middle school....it makes me so happy that they consider me their 2nd mom and they are all still so close despite all going their separate ways. :love:

    Off th LA for a weekend of partying and good food. I'm going to have to rack up some 0's at some point..but it's still a few weeks away.:drinker:

    Those boys are so sweet!!!!

    Well, Kids....3 out of 4 ain't bad :wink: We decided to walk to happy hour last night. It was a 5 mile round trip walk so at least I burned a decent amount of calories. But happy hour = no morning workout, so we are walking to the gym to do a little strength training tonight. The scale did not punish me though so YAY!!!

    So after the gym, I will probably have some mead or something.

    We ended up with a free weekend....our plans for Ocean City, MD fell through. So we are going to walk over to the movie tavern to FINALLY see Guardians of the Galaxy...super excited! Then we will walk around and have some drinks and some food. The weather should be fabulous, so we are really looking forward to it!!!!

    Happy Friday :drinker:
