Good Morning to Everyone.

Babysitting went well. Aurora was a little fussy but she was also fighting sleep. Once she fell a sleep she was an angel. LOL.

Good Morning to Everyone.

My daughter told us yesterday that she is going to talk to a Marine Officer Recruiter sometime this weekend. She still wants to fly. Hopefully, she will just drop it and not pursue it. She needs to stay home with her hubby and daughter. Oh well. I get to babysit my granddaughter tonight. At least I have one more month of Mondays to look forward too.

Go snoopy! Take care of your burn..I'm sure you documented it as Anna said. Anna...good to hear from you...Sounds like you are moving right along as is Blondie! Never enough hours in the day Blondie but somehow all comes together;)
Comment by Catsmom on September 27, 2014 at 11:45am
Love Snoopy! Have a good weekend everyone! Blondie, sounds like a very busy week! But something to look forward to at the end! :-). I know you can't wait to go see your girl! Mom is the best stress buster!

My burn is healing, most of it is on the inside of my finger, and the top of my hand. So it rubs, but it is looking good. Good thing I used to work in a burn unit! LOL

Anna, yep got it covered! Have a garage weekend!
Comment by Anna on September 26, 2014 at 3:21pm

Happy Friday everyone!!!!  Sorry I've been MIA for awhile - my internet access is somewhat limited here at our trailer.  I really miss have cable wireless internet, but that's one of the adjustments we have to make!!!  I try to keep up to date on everyone's posts but sometimes even that is sketchy!!!!  Glad to hear everyone is doing well. 

Catsmom,

Glad they got your air fixed!!!  And sorry to hear about your burns and especially if it was due to your manager's incompetence!!!  You should consider keeping a journal of things that happen there since she was hired.  In case things get crazy you will have a record of dates and incidents and may be able to get rid of her!!!  If nothing else - keep in mind what the military did a good job of teaching me - - - always cover your 6 (a$$)!!!!

GADawg,

Congrats on the kid in the box and the graduation info.  Now you have something to look forward to - let the countdown begin!!!!  How are you holding up???

Hope I haven't missed anything important!!!  If yes, I'm sorry I'll have to find a better way to keep on top of things!!!!!
