I can't wait for summer vacation

We are on the last day of a four day weekend thanks to President's Day. It seems like the kids have had quite a few days off lately for one district meeting or another. All I know is it is going to be a very long day with the Schmidt kids.

They woke up antagonizing one another and JG screaming, screaming and screaming. Little man seriously screams like a girl, it is this high pitched shrill and he just doesn't let up. AE doesn't seem to mind the assault on her eardrums because she just keeps dishing out whatever JG is screaming about. We are time out #2 and it isn't even 9:30.

We are going over to Shel's house at 11:00 for lunch and to share our joy with others, hopefully it isn't contagious.

Ahhh, Susan, you assumed it would be so much different here? haha. As I told Susan, we also had a lovely morning. Sawyer threw a raging fit at Walmart when I wouldn't give him a donut so I had to march through the store to the checkout with him screaming. People looked at me with mixtures of pitty and concern (for me). Thankfully, since it was WM I didn't get any "can't you shut that kid up" looks. They'd all been there! Ahhhh yes, now I remember, this is why I work outside the home. hehe.

Six weeks

I am sidelined for at least six weeks. No tennis - no good. My bad wheel turned into immobile wheel today thanks to an air cast. Not the most attractive accessory. I had been trying to continue playing with the plantar fasciitis guess I figured it was going to be around for awhile so might as well deal with it. This plan actually worked out for the best because when I was playing on Thursday there was this loud pop in the bottom of my foot. Suddenly my heel felt better, so I thought, "Maybe it released all of the bad heel juju into the rest of my foot." Well, it was something like that. Evidently I tore a ligament in my foot which the doctor told me is really the best thing that could have happened. The reason why is it cured the plantar fasciitis. Plus the recovery time for the ligament thing is about six weeks versus potentially months or years with the other. So all in all I guess it was a good thing to tear a ligament. I am bummed because I can't do any exercise for t...

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma...

Tightrope walking on a string

This has been one of "those" weeks where I often find myself scared to slow down and assess the situation because when I do I start to get this really tight feeling in my chest and I feel nauseous. Does anyone else get that? When life is going mach 10 with your hair on fire...and if you stop you just might fall right over from that string you are balancing everything on... I am going to bed.
