Yay Sherry! We missed you! So, with both kids in school, will that give you more free time? My middle kiddo is finally in school all day and my youngest qualified for free preschool. So 4 days a week I have no kids in the morning and then only 1 kid during the afternoons and on Friday. It's making getting stuff done a lot easier! Can't wait to hear all about how you're doing!

Marla - Well, he's been working this shift for about 7 years so who knows how long. The problem is the department has been on a hiring freeze for so long that he never gained seniority in all the years he's worked for the department. Makes getting the day shifts very difficult. They finally just started hiring again so hopefully this will give him a chance to move to a better squad. Well, hoping your rash continues to heal and that the smoke goes down!

Did my Pilates class yesterday. Also got all the church stuff finished...easily. My kids folded their laundry nicely for the first time in weeks and weeks. I made a new chicken recipe with plenty of veggies and my kids actually ate it! We went to the library as their fun time and got scores of new books. All in all, it was a great day yesterday! I do not feel rested this morning, but I'll have time this afternoon to take a nap. I think I'll seize that to get some more rest. Our church has a big potluck after church. Hoping my kids are old enough now where they'll be able to entertain themselves a bit while I get food for them and such (hubby might be able to stay briefly before heading off to work).

I'm off for my endurance bike ride. Not feeling it, but spotted this thread starter I used and thought it would be a good motivator for me this morning! Happy Sunday everyone!
