Lordy Be!! Then it happened Again!!

Yep 11" of snow!

FurBaby Andi Girl not impressed!

But neither is the MR!

Ya know though, it could be a Lot Worse! We could have the freezing rain/cold, for now there's some wind but nothing we can't handle.  Admittedly I did something that I Never thought I would/could EVER do...I called in! 

Yep Me the it don't matter what the Governor says I-got-to-go-to-work was absent...and I Liked It!! I stayed home with the FurBabies and the MR, I played the Domestic Diva, making breakfast getting some laundry done, checked in with my kiddos making sure everyone was safe and sound, helped the MR with shoveling every couple hours (only a little bit) then relaxed with TV watching.

So knowing that my world doesn't come to a stand still if I don't go to work, I wonder what would it be like to finally Retire?? Thinking I may need to make another appointment with my financial group once all this weather business gets under control.

So how has it been with all you? Weather got you stuck at home?? How are you handling it??

TEN Thursday Thoughts!

• I thought doing a blog would be easy...

• I thought that I could fight the good fight taking care of the sickies around me with out catching something...

• I thought I would go balistic on the A-I's (a-holes&idiots) at work this week...

• I thought people had better sense than to ask me my opinion...

• I thought having it all included money...

• I thought I could get better organized in a week...

• I thought I would cry a river the first time I seen my Baby come across the finish line...

• I thought I would never find the perfect man to spend the rest of my life with...

• I thought being published in the Newspaper was as good as it could get...

• I thought Wow! Now I've really done something by being published in a local hospital's yearly publication...

Daunting Days! But I'm still a winner!

Life is stressful, well mine seems to be at times. I'm trying to fit it all in with little luck thus far, but, I'm making it through another day and will adjust to my time struggles. I know that I need to be willing to make decisions on what is the most important thing for me.

One important thing for me has been being able to attend my "grandsons" basketball games. My 'one and Only' male grand child and he's AWESOME! It makes me well up in tears every time he comes running to get hugs and kisses from me. I Just Love this kid!! He says he doesn't want to do basketball next year, but does want to play soccer and do Cross Country we'll see, you know how kids can be, either way if at all possible the Mommaw will be there.

My work life has become hectic to say the least, some weeks are 50+ hours some are only 37.5 hours. When I do get the OT it's several days in a row and can sometimes last consecutive weeks in a row. It's great to have a job in this economy and my extra hours are my fault, (I ask for them) so whats the answer? Broke or some extra moolah?

I have arranged my breaks in order to try and get my steps in during the day which has work to some degree but there's the whole sit down and take a break thing that's not happening and with my job being sorta physical it gets tiring. Missed several home work-outs this week (as in walking on the treadmill), my fault, wanted to spend the time with H2B while he was off.

My runner kids are in training mode and haven't done many races this year, 1 in January that I still need to post about which will be this week and another coming up next weekend.

In closing I want to share this quote I found in Success Magazine,
          "winners habitually face the work of the day with the purpose of discovering what can be done instead of worrying about what cannot be done"--Paul Meyer

Time~~Where Does It Go?

     The working full+ time and we're talking sometimes 60 hour weeks people, trying to walk 10,000 + steps a day (I have a quest to have walked enough steps to equal 2013 miles) and have a relationship is interfering with the Blogging thing, reading or doing my own.  It continues to be a struggle! How do others manage? What gets short changed?  Any and All suggestions are welcome!
