Rainy Sunday

Well, at least we had a beautiful, but windy Saturday! We even slept with the upstairs windows open last night. Now it's rainy, windy, cold and they're talking snow after midnight. What's up with our weather this winter? I can't remember a winter in recent history that's been so snow/sleet/ice-filled. I know we haven't had a blizzard, and we haven't really had a ton of snow, it's just that it's been so often, I'm sick of it. I don't mind cold weather, it's the rest of it I could do without. Brandon left about 30 minutes ago. I hope he doesn't encounter any slick roads on the way back to Manhattan.

Looks like we're going to have to take Cinnamon to the vet.
I think she has an ear infection. She had one about 6 months ago, and her symptoms are the same. We are going to try to get her in tomorrow if we can get an appointment after the twins get home from school. They are both off work and could take her.

I visited Rhonda in the hospital this morning before going to work (more on that later). Her blood pressure is a bit high, and now her blood sugar is high - so they are trying her on some new medication. They also did a chest x-ray - they are trying to find out if she has sleep apnea. They are pretty sure she does, but they want to do the overnight sleep test on her to find out for sure. She'll be sleeping with one of those C-PAC (sp?) machines tonight. After I left the hospital, I went to work for a couple of hours. We are cutting down the width of our newspaper. It has been a major undertaking for our department, mainly the pressroom. It's taken the coordination of news, advertising and operations to make it happen. I had to go in today to change the templates on our layout system, and then test sending the pages to news. Our first several tries were unsuccessful, but after one of our Tech folks made some changes on the news side, we were successful! Look for a smaller-width paper on Tuesday!

Corby fixed a nice dinner today. We ate around 3 so we could all eat as a family. We had turkey breast, stuffing, green beans and homemade biscuits. Yummy! In between hospital visits and work, I'm trying to get laundry and some cleaning done. There's always something needing to be done, isn't there?

Today was just a great day to kick back on the couch and relax with this weather!

Mmmm dinner sounds yummy! We have to take Kate to the ENT tomorrow - maybe her and Cinnamon can get a 2-4-1!

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
