Tired Feet

My tootsies are tired! (no, these are not my actual tooties - didn't figure you'd want to see my bunion)...It was a very busy day...let's see...here's a run-down.

*Got up at 7 with the twins. They had to be at Heights by 8am for the ACT test. (They said it was easy. I hope that's reflected in their scores when they arrive!)
*Left home at 8:30 after my shower, reading the paper and working the puzzles
*Arrived at Walmart at approx. 8:55 am to pick up Rhonda's prescriptions. The pharmacy doesn't open until 9, so I picked up a few necessities while waiting.
*Stopped at Quik Trip for hot chocolate (it was COLD out!) and breath mints.
*Stopped by Rhonda's to drop off her prescriptions and the KU t-shirts for Marilyn & Mark (who will pick them up there tomorrow) and to visit for a while.
*Went to visit mom. Had a good visit. She had several phone calls from friends, a "happy week" card from me, dinner with Mike & Diana last night, a visit from Terry, a quick visit when Marilyn took her over to Rhonda's on Thursday afternoon, and a visit from me, so she was happy.
*Stopped by Mike & Diana's to drop off their KU T-shirts and posters. Visited with them a while. Diana is feeling a bit better - she's suffering from a kidney infection, bladder infection, and walking pneumonia.
*Got home in time to eat a quick lunch and head out again, this time with Corby (who worked this morning) and Kaitlin. Kaleb opted to stay home since he had to work at 5. Kaitlin is off work today.
*Went to Target and picked up a few more necessities. Wandered the store to check out all their cool stuff. Got out of there only spending $35. Of course, Kaitlin had to get a frappucino (sp?) at Starbuck's.
*Stopped at Walgreen's to pick up a prescription for Corby.
*Went to Dillons and picked up their bargains.
*Came home and put up those grocries.
*Went to Leeker's and did the rest of our shopping.
*Came home and put up those groceries.
CRASHED & BURNED!

One bonus of shopping today? I get a 10% discount at Dillons on Kroger items and a 10% discount on everything at Leeker's since I have kids working at both stores!

Tomorrow will be filled with laundry and household chores. YUCK!

I sold my first Longaberger basket on E-bay - the May Series Geranium basket. I didn't get as much as it's probably worth, but it's better than sitting around taking up space. I love my baskets, but I have WAY TOO MANY of them, so I'm trying to sell them one at a time. I actually sold 2 baskets, but one was to a consultant I used to sell with. And Lenore - I have a basket for you to take back to Germany with you when you come this summer. You mentioned needing something for magazines, so I'm going to give you my magazine basket. Don't let me forget. You know I'm old!

Oh yeah, SUMO was great last night! The food was wonderful. We sat with a family of 7 who were celebrating the mom's birthday. Their almost-8-month-old granddaughter was the highlight of the evening. You should have seen her face when they lit up the grill! PRICELESS!

Well, it's almost time to watch the replay of the KU game. Not sure I'll make it through the whole thing, as I'm pretty darn exhausted, but I'll try. Maybe I should take a nap for the first hour, and watch the last hour! I hear they're showing it without commercials!

Finished my Stephen White book last night. Will start "Quicksand" by another one of my favorite authors - Iris Johansen.

Happy weekend to all!

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!
