    Hope everyone had a great day! I need to eat supper and then attack a pile of paperwork! Tomorrow is an unexpected conference which means I need sup plans for all 6 classes. It is so much easier to be there myself than to try to explain to someone who probably doesn't "do" math how to teach what needs to be done tomorrow. Grades are also due Wednesday by noon and I need to leave on time tomorrow for a doctor's appointment. Oh well, I work best under pressure!!

    I will try to get back tomorrow to comment on posts.

    :flowerforyou: Happy Monday. I have a day off today. It is raining, but I am keeping busy with laundry and bookkeeping. Isn't that what I do very well? :noway: :noway:

    :flowerforyou: Love the pictures, Sheryl!

    :happy: Question: anyone on here have a tummy tuck done (or liposuction, or combi)? You can message me, if you don't want to put it on the forum. I've been thinking about it for a long time.

    BJ – I too count my 4-legged kids as I never had any of the “other” kind. I really appreciate the unconditional love and unfettered joy they display when you come home, whether you’ve been gone 10 minutes or 10 days! :happy:

    Cheryl – Soooo glad for you that you found your FitBit and it is still working. Your horse is a beauty (the daughter too LOL), a lovely way to spend “your” day, doing what you love most :flowerforyou:

    JaneH – I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better today. What a sweet thing for your DS to do for you! Also happy to hear you’re not having to put up with any sulking behaviors either (now THAT’S a gift) :wink:

    Katla – Hoping that DH is feeling much better and that you both had a lovely day.:smile:

    drkatiebug- It is a small world! I think we all are happy to receive professional development with all of the changes in the standards. It is an exciting, but stressful time. Next year I will be changing from middle school math to geometry, advanced algebra/trig, and precalc. Big jump, but a welcome change.

    cityjane my sister thrives on struggling. She loves telling anyone she can how many surgeries she has had, how many medicines she takes and how much pain she is in. It is what gets her up in the morning. Both her children dread being around her, I have tried to intervene and it does no good.

    Renny.......I had a friend in my exercise class who had a tummy tuck; it seemed to take her a long time (like 6mo.) to get back to full speed. She was in her early 50's and not overly heavy and, by the time she got back in the swing of things, she had eaten and gained most, if not all of it back ,so there was no apparent visable change in her appearance. Don't know how "normal" her experience was. I'm thinking of having one of those cold laser procedures which kills off the fat cells when I get to goal to try to get rid of the "pouch" and tighten the abdominal area......another reason I like this idea better is because it's totally non-invasive with no "down" time.

    BJ.......congrats on TWO new babies!!! Hang in there on the degree pursuit; these kids who have zero to deal with but college don't know how lucky they have it

    Katla.........hope your dh is feeling better and b.s. is down; my dh is diabetic too, so I know how these swings can affect them........how about a book or a movie for a gift?

    Lucy........one year I had squirrels taking just one bite from EVERY tomato....to this day I hate them

    Joyce.........hope your day got better

    wessecg............your ride looked fun; beautiful daughter and horses.....glad you found the fit bit

    Time for a little of my book----Mistress of Justice/Jeffery Deaver
    then bed
    G'nite,

    DH will be sixty-six for those who asked. He has been an avid sailor most of his life, but the last couple of years have been very difficult due to MS. His problems are strength and balance. We'll see how this season goes. His birthday is day after tomorrow and I still don't have a plan.

    We looked at patio furniture today but the size was not right for either DH or me, so we're still looking. We have an upper deck and a lower deck. This would be for the upper deck and it is not very big. The furniture we saw would have fit the deck okay, but not either of us. I'm thinking of a small table and two chairs. We aren't small people, but DH is about 5'6" and I"m a couple of inches taller.

    Here is something to think about. When I wrote the paragraph abve, advertising appeared for a wood table and two chairs. That gives me the willies.

    Hi All,

    My DD continued our Mother's Day tradition of taking me out to buy a huge hanging plant for the porch. It's a purple and white Supertunia this year with lots of buds. She also got my favorite Jimmy John's veggie sandwich. Yum!:happy: My DS did call in the evening; didn't say much but it's the thought that counts! Woke up this morning very unmotivated to exercise but did end up going to the pool for 2 hrs and had a good time doing Water Zumba. :smile:

    Cheryl - Very nice pics of you and your daughter!

    drkatiebug - thanks for telling me to keep away from Zaxby's. So many times I've passed by the one near me and thought "I should give it a try". Now I'll think "I shouldn't give it a try"

    dovergopp - rant all you need to. It's so hard when our parents need so much.

    Barbara - yea for you pulling things out like you did

    The guys started building the pergola today. I took a Jari Love Slim & Lean DVD to the Y, thinking I could use their weighted bar. Well, I completely forgot that there was a yoga class in the aerobics room at 7:15, so I had to do it in the fitness area. Didn't work out well at all. Oh well....live and learn. Guess if I have to do something on my own, I'll try to do it earlier in the day when there aren't any classes.

    Planning to do the rebounder DVD that I have tomorrow. The guys should be here around 8:30.

    Tried to go to Aldi, and I was shocked -- they closed at 7!

    beachlover - welcome! Tell us more about yourself

    cityjane - congrats on the great news. So sorry you lost your daughter....but this one helps. A breast cancer survivor to boot, I'm proud of you. Horray that your bp is down. Your birdfeeder sounds neat

    patsy - i love when people have open diaries. Sometimes (many times in fact) I get great ideas of things to have that I jwould never have thought of otherwise.

    bj - may all of your daughters have great pregnancies. You're on your way...!!! I hear ya about the social events. I'm trying to bow out of the ones that I can. Which degree are you working on?

    After coming home from the Y, don't ask me why but I put my car in the garage. jOf course, when the guys got here with the wood for the pergola, they had a trailer and totally blocked me in. By the time they left, we had dinner, Aldi was closed. Vince and I did more work on the river rock today. Tomorrow if there's time, we may do some more. See, we're signed up for the Unifour bowling Senior Games at 12:30. I think there is a lunch before hand catered by Olive Garden, not sure, tho

    Lucy in DE - your mother's day dinner sounds fab

    bipsqueen - welcome! You can do it, and we'll be there every inch of the way

    Cheryl - your mother's day sounds fantastic. Great that you got to do what you wanted. As usual, fantastic pics, thank for sharing

    jmkmomm- so sorry you're having such a bad day. Things'll get better

    Need to get ready for tomorrow. Look at the time! Where does it go to?

    Hope everyone has a great evening.

    Bump as it's late and I need to get up early for golf. Had a great weekend with hiking, hauling fire wood, cutting grass and lots of "ranch" work. Had to rest today.
