**PrairieRose** · 01-05-2007, 09:08 AM

Good morning everyone. I had big plans for the day but this cold is still dragging me down. I had another sleepless night last night so I'm tired and grouchy this morning.

I have to do today:
Bath, shave legs, wash and do hair & makeup
Go to a funeral at 10 (ok, enough funerals already--this is about 4 in the past 2 weeks!)

I wanted to do but don't know if I have the umph or not:
Go into the city to run errands and pick up stuff for a baby shower I'm helping with and maybe a little thrifting. I'm just so tired I don't know if I'm able or not. I'll know after the funeral.

I hope everyone has a great day. I'm off to hop in the tub and see if I can get the blood flowing.

Just a regular house day around here.I'm doing pretty well on my 2007 goals so far. I've been reading about 5 books a day to each of the kids(the 20 page type). Tomorrow I'll be hitting another goal of getting them outside more because we're going to the zoo. Supposed to reach 70* tomorrow! I'm on the right track with my goals I think. Have a great day everyone!

**Stormy** · 01-05-2007, 01:17 PM

I've accomplished my usual routine of:

Feeding the starving (cat)
Drinking a glass of OJ and taking my pills
Reading email
Cleaning out the email box
Cleaning the kitty box

And then I faced writing a difficult response to an email

The email took up time and now it's lunch time; and I realize I forgot to eat breakfast. Wasn't much hungry anyway. I'll go raid the fridge (left over meatloaf) and eat a good lunch and make up for the skipped meal, which I rarely do.

Goals: I've been drinking more water and have cut back my caffeine intake lots ... going cold turkey on caffeine makes me crazy so I'm doing it gradually.

**Telephus44** · 01-05-2007, 05:44 PM

Today was a good day.

*Took my aunt out for lunch (ok, she paid but I drove and brought a cute baby)
*Ran the dishwasher
*Cleaned the kitchen and dining room table
*Made dinner
*Packaged up an item I sold on eBay to mail tomorrow
*Went to my doctor's appointment

Not a whole lot, but I got in quality time with family. It was nice to see my aunt and my MIL babysat while I was at my dr's appt, so I got to visit with her, too. Now I'm just waiting for DH to get home so we can eat.
