My day is going to be gone before I get anything done! We need some time assistance quick. I'm starting to have flashbacks of that man with the red lollypop.

[ginaMO]

Good morning Sherry! How's life in ME this morning?

[Sherry Lynn]

Good Morning Gina - everything is bright and sunny --- I just let the dogs out and there were turkeys on the back lawn and they didn't even see them PHEW they would have had them chased into the pines in no time!

How is everything going for you in Missouri?

[ginaMO]

Very quiet at the moment, as all are still asleep. The littles have a busy day today, appointments from 9 am to 3 pm and 300 miles worth of driving in between. The good news: DH got a day shift bid and will start on May 18th. That's going to be a big help.

[Sherry Lynn]

Yeah for the day shift! Wow that sounds like an awful lot of traveling with little ones --- I hope they don't mind riding! And a super busy day for you - safe travel wishes for you my friend!

[ginaMO]

Thanks for the safe wishes, we can use them, it is a lot of miles on two lane roads. The kids do pretty well, I put Dani in the middle row and Mike in the back row and give them lots of toys. Neither of them gets car sick, so I'm lucky there. Apparently this is how we will spend our Wednesdays until we go back to court in July.

[Sherry Lynn]

Oh my goodness --- that is an awful lot of travel to have to do every week and with the price of gas, there isn't an easier way to do this? Or doesn't anyone care what they are putting you through?

[ginaMO]

It's about what's good for the kids. They have to be in one county for a visit with their Bio Mom in the morning, another county for an appointment with counselor and a third county for an appointment with a doctor who is assessing their sibling bond. Then back home to our county. The state pays mileage, so gas is not an issure, but the day is hard on the kids. Their schedule is completely shot. But we will get through it.

[Sherry Lynn]

Oh I see - well at least it is what is good for them - and I know what you mean, we always say "you do what you have to do" and I believe that is true!

Hey I see you got a really nice prezzie - can't wait to see the layouts!

And, where is your I survived Mischief week blinkie? I had to take my siggy out so that I could add that blinkie for a while!

[ginaMO]

I just noticed it this morning. Hadn't really had time to add it. Also, with the bingo conversation, I was thinking of wearing the Queen Zaz blinkie too, for a while. I really need to learn to animate.

[ginaMO]

Hi Sherry. I'm still just trying to post this morning.

[ginaMO]

And I did! Whoo hoo. How are you this morning, and how is little blue eyes doing?

[Sherry Lynn]

I am fine and blue eyes is here with me again - she's going to the office with me, I think the antibiotics are working!

What do you have for an agenda today?

[ginaMO]

Signs to make and some house cleaning I hope. We are going throught the kids wardrobes and getting ready for summer. Glad to hear little blue eyes is doing well.

[ginaMO]

Good morning Sherry, Karen and Julie! And anyone else I missed. Just not many early morning girls here today (evening for Karen). What is everyone planning for their day (or evening)?

[Sherry Lynn]

I have my doctors appointment today! Hopefully I will find out something! I'm on the phone with my sister right at the moment!

[ginaMO]

Let me know what he says. Sure hope he doesn't ban you from the computer, but if he does, you know you have to do what he says! It's important to get that arm back to normal and get rid of the pain. I will be gone a lot of the day, as we have a visit today, a counseling session and a Parents As Teachers appointment.

[Sherry Lynn]

I will keep you updated - oh please please don't say banned from my computer!

[ginaMO]

I don't like the idea much either, I would miss you terribly, but you have to do what the doctor says and get that arm better!

[Bride]

Oh my goodness ... I am up that early but didn't think anyone else was ... I'll have to check the boards earlier!

Had to take the 3 yr old aussie girl to the vet first thing this morning for a battery of tests. She is showing some major allergy symptoms. A year and a half ago she lost all her hair on her backside - such a shame because she had the prettiest "fancy pants" (its what we call them). It took a full year for it to all grow back in! Anyway, she is on shots that I have to administer to her every 14 days and is having some sort of reaction to something else now. Hoping these new tests will nail it down so we can avoid whatever is giving her fits!

Back at work today ... and this afternoon we are re-certifying our AED/CPR training.

Tonight we are taking m-i-l out for Mother's Day dinner. And sometime today I need to start on my heritage LO for Thursday night.
