ok, so my best friend fixed my blog all up fancy for me...... but, it has been so long since I was on here, where do I start?  Now,  she says to start with today, but today was a baaaaaad day.   How can I start with a bad day?

STRESS, we all know that word.  Stress of work, stress of home, stress of getting ready for vacation.  Constantly worried about getting things done at work before I go, so I dont have to face a big mess when I get back.  Constantly worried about getting things done at home, so I dont have to face a big mess when I get back.  Constantly worried about the things I'm going to forget to pack, sigh, I must be getting old or something.

Long and the short of it tho, I cant wait to have a few days off work.  To load up the car, drive the 6 hours to the campground, unload the bikes and lawnchairs, and do nothing at all.  Why cant we do that at home?  Why is it so much easier to take time to relax when we are away from home?  I guess all I know is that from now until Wednesday morning, im going to have this pounding headache and the million thoughts of what needs to be done/packed before I go.   But, when i get in that truck Wed morning, not another "rushed" thought until NEXT Tuesday.  Yipeeeeeeee.

ok, lets see.  It is 12:44 and these silly puppies are keeping me awake.  For some reason they think it is play time.  So, I decide to log on and check in with Xanga, and it was October that I last wrote in my blog? How can that be?  Ok, work, kids, husband and so on...but still.  Hubby and I are taking a much needed weekend, but Im afraid 2 days wont be enough to clear out my cluttered brain.  How do we do it every day of life?  Get up, get kids ready for school, off to work, 10 hours later, home to make supper, the endless mountain of laundry, it never ends.  Its like I'm stuck on a carnival ride that is going entirely to fast and I need it to either slow down or let me off (ok, im over it now, really, I am).  I always say I'm going to start taking time for myself, but then I never do.  I need to find some way to MAKE me take time for me and not wait until I have reached that point of burn out.  OK, well, spring is just around the corner.  Maybe I can start walking again, or go back to the gym...naaaaaa, who am I kidding, I dont have TIME for either one.  OK, mumma dog is settled down......puppies have wore themselves out.  Perhaps I can get some sleep now?  Dare to dream.........

Wow, has it really been a month since I have been on here? Where did the time go??

Yesterday we got SNOW and lots of it.  Roads were a mess in the morning to drive to work in.  This is October still, right?  Of course, the snow changed to rain and most of it is gone now, thank goodness.  I like the looks of it on the fields and trees, but truly hate it on the road and since you cant have one without the other, I guess I just dont like it at all.  

After my endless waiting, I finally have my appointment to consult with the surgeon.  Goodness only knows how long it will take to get me in for surgery.  I have been feeling ok, good days and bad days.  I will be so glad to get this over and done with and feel good for a change.

Well, I guess its that time of day to get off and ready for work.

Finally Friday.  Its been a long week.  One of the girls at work was out two days this week sick and of course I have been there sick.  Boss man says his blood pressure is up (cant imagine why, no stress in his life ) So I guess basically we are just a healthy crew.  Still havent heard from the doc on my appointment with the specialist.  I wish they would just tell me, even if it is another month from now, just so I have a goal.  Well, guess I better get ready for work.  The kids and I have a busy weekend planned so I will be glad to see the end of today.  I havent done much with the kids lately cause I have felt so crapy, so hopefully I can spend some time with them this weekend to make up for it.

Kids are gone to school and I dont have to be to work for an hour and 15 mins.  Ok, lets see.  A few mins for me, then off to start my day.  Tomorrow is picture day for the kids.  I had ordered them some new clothes so I guess I better stop and get my parcel.  Have to stop at the bank to get coffee money.  Then stop for coffee.  Then drive to work.  Ok, the drive is almost half an hour....humm...what happened to the few mins for me?  Do you ever get tired of planning every minute of everyday?  I sure do.
