I feel like I should feel guilty about looking forward to a weekend. I have only worked3 days this week but I am mtrying to get a cold or sinus invection so I am looking forward to the weekend to rest and hopefully get rid of the darn thing!
we don't have anything major planned this weekend. Itis payday so a trip to the grocery will be included sometime this weekend. That is always a treat. Otherwise, we will go to Special Olympics tomorrow and to the gym but I plan on taking it easy and hopefully getting well!

Signs of Spring in South Carolina

It was good to see some signs of Spring while we were in SC. I have hope now that maybe it will spread north. Of course, as I write I am watching it snow outside my window. Oh well, you can't win them all :-P

Pictures to follow...
We had a great weekend away in South Carolina... nearly my favorite place on earth! It was 70-75... perfect weather on Saturday and Sunday. We just relaxed and enjoyed some time together mostly driving but stopping and walking around places like The Citadel and Beaufort. I was able to visit a couple of times with Myrtle and she looks great. It is almost a full year since Thomas died and she is doing wonderfully... of course misses him but is living life as fully as possible on her own now.
Of course, we had the customary hissy fit from Don's car on the way home. But it is now his problem. He is on his way back to Chicago today and will be letting it sit there until he can get it fixed. At least it didn't have to sit in my driveway until he could fix it. I have a driveway back finally. Next snowstorm I won't have to park on the hill!!

Pics from the weekend with the boys.

I pretty much think they speak for themselves. They are growing up FAST!!!

I've been a bad blogger the last couple of days. No particular reason for not writing but just a bit lazy and with a bit of an attitude because the snow keeps coming! Today, it looks like we may see the sun a bit but not for any melting or thawing. What a crazy winter!!
Had a nice long weekend because we spent Sunday with the guys. The little guys that is. Drew and Aidan and Andy, Adam and I swam for a couple of hours. Aidan is a little fish. He loved being in the water. Drew mostly just likes to play on the side of the pool and throw balls into the water for the rest of us to chase. He had fun though!I think Aidan may be a swimmer though. He seemed to love the water and kicking his feet. Then, after swimming we went to the hotel room and played and ate pizza. It was a good day! Of course, we came home on Monday to more snow!! I must have shoveled the driveway 4 times on Monday and when I went to work yesterday, it was debatable whether or not I was going to be able to get my car out! Spring, please come quickly!

In case you are wondering, the old girl was not hurt during the Aricept adventure last night!!! I'm talking about Billie here... the dog with about 10 lives and counting!

I managed to get nothing done again last night. For some stupid reason, I was dizzy all day yesterday and ended up pretty much just eating dinner and going to bed. I feel better today though. Maybe it was just the weather or something.
OH the Aricept adventure continues. Last night, I awoke in the middle of the night to my mother wrestling with Billie and then heard Billie fall on the floor and my mother was on her feet and saying, "I'm not sure where to go". Well, after the back porch incident a couple of weeks ago, I have learned to answer those questions... even in the middle of the night. So, I said "You don't need to go anywhere, just sit down. It is not time to get up." She sat down, pulled Billie back up on her lap and they went back to sleep. I guess people who told me that Aricept causes vivid dreams were right. At least they don't seem to be scary dreams for her. It is almost kind of sad because she seems so clear in her dreams. It is like she is more clear in the middle of the night than any other time during the day. Maybe that means it is helping though! If it is clearing her subconscious, hopefully, it will eventually do the same for her conscious memory?!?

Recieved this pic yesterday from Andy and Holliday. I love it. They are growing up so fast!!!

Did not get anything done last night that I thought I may do. Oh well, maybe I will get it done tonight since today is another snow day for the dance studio and I don't have to pick Judy up. I am supposed to go to a meeting tonight but if they don't cancel it they are crazy. I think I am going to say I don't feel good and not go anyway. It is not really a lie since I got up and almost fell over because I am dizzy this morning. I guess it is probably my sinuses. It is better than it was... I am not walking into walls anymore... If it isn't significantly better or gone tomorrow, I guess I will call the doctor. I have heard a lot of people talking about vertigo going with some virus going around at the moment. That is probably what it is.

And... Let there be snow...

Good thing I can laugh about the snow... it is coming down again. I think the last I heard was 4-8 more inches. It should make for a sloppy commute home tonight and back to work in the morning. Fortunately, I am blessed with a job that allows me to take my time about getting moving in the morning.
I may even be able to get the rest of the cabinet painting underway tonight. I doubt that I will be going anywhere. I mean I am not planning on going anywhere. I hope Adam's cab has the same plans for me. Last time I was going to be home all evening, they didn't pick him up at work and I had to trek out in the snow anyway.
There of course, is also the bathroom sink project but I think that will have to come another day... one when I am feeling more adventurous. At least we now have cold water. I can live with only cold water there until I get around to fixing the hot.
Well, I guess work is calling so I better answer the call...

I think I will let pictures speak for my weekend...

Uh... SNOW!!

Beautiful but not to drive in!!

No snow yet but they still say it is coming and that we are going to get 4-9 inches but the real bummer is that it will start with freezing rain... YUCK!! I guess a weekend inside and completing some home projects may be in order. Poor Adam has to work tomorrow from 3-7. That should be a sloppy mess getting to and from Kroger. At least this job doesn't send him out in the weather much to pick up carts.

I'm going to be ticked if it snows on our plans this weekend to go to BG and spend time with the family! Oh well, I guess if we have to stay home, we were supposed to!

We will celebrate Don's 54th birthday this weekend. He will be here tomorrow morning on the bus and will be taking his car and dog home once again on Sunday. The plan right now is to celebrate with Andy and Holliday and the boys but of course, if we can't go up there on Saturday because of our 6+ inches of snow, I guess I will have to think of something different. Maybe the weather people will be wrong and we won't get snow, just a little rain... right! Of course, they are never wrong when you want them to be.

Aimee is in Hawaii and sent me this picture of Max this weekend. I cannot believe how much he has grown into a little boy instead of a toddler in the last two months!!!

Well, I did it. We now have cold water in the sink. The hot is going to be a bit more of a challenge but hopefully, it will go smoother than I expect... yeah right.
Yesterday evening I enjoyed a little veg out time instead of going to the gym. I am planning on dancing tonight though so that should get me back into the routine! I need to keep motivated. I am attempting not to burn out in the workout routine or the diet but need to continue to be faithful to the workout routine as much as possible!!

Today is another day... another chance to attempt the plumbing in the bathroom after I get off work. Maybe today I will have "Master Plumber" qualities that developed over night?!? Yeah, probably not. But hopefully, I can get the darn thing functional! Who knows, Adam is off work today so maybe he will have it all fixed when I get home. OK I know that is a dream.
It never hurts to dream...
Today will be a full day. I am beginning work for yet another planner this week. We will see how this goes. I am working for three of them now and hopefully, it will work out alright. Then it is off to Bible study after work and then home to tackle whatever I didn't get done on the plumbing before dinner. Wish me luck :)
