Hi everyone smile Today, is the second day back to school and Dh just left for work ~ all is quiet... I had planned on getting tons done yesterday but I had a man underfoot wink Hopefully, I will find yesterday's energy and get that ton of stuff done today!

JDI:
*5 min ETE in every room
*3 loads laundry
*5 cards sent
*make pudding
*do ironing
*put away books
*go for run
*work on hotspots/dust every room

Diana: thank you. the funeral was on Sat, and then we had a balloon release on Mon after the open house. The other teachers have had a week to cope with the emptiness, and now it will be more of a reality for the kids... She was a hugger and a laugher, so lots of hugs being given and the laughter will come... One of the 5th grade teachers took her position ~ a really sweet, lovely woman and another woman from the community is filling the 5th grade postion ~ another lovely, lovely woman ~ so our hearts are warmed...

Good morning, all.

I am afraid I didn't get much done after I got home, yesterday. First of all, there was an accident on the freeway, which meant we didn't get home till almost 8:00 p.m. Then, my feet were really swollen, so, I spent a good hour or so on the sofa with my feet elevated. Did only the minimum - cooked rice for dinner (to go with leftovers from the night before), packed lunches, washed dishes, etc. No housework/cleaning.

This morning, woke up with a red and swollen right eye! Bathed the eye with cool water and the swelling is going down. This is the 2nd time this has happened this month! I think it maybe due to blocked sinuses; must remember to mention it to the dr. the next time I see him (in 2 weeks' time).

There was yet another accident on the freeway, this morning! So, my commute took almost 3 hrs! Fortunately, I was able to call the office to let them know I was going to be late.

JDIs for today:

- Tidy family room/laundry closet
- Sweep back steps area

Bless:
Be careful with the swollen feet. I would suggest calling the doctor regarding that.

Goodness 3 hours on the expressway! ((((((HUGS)))))). Wished we could helicopter it, wouldn't that be great!

Maureen:
Sounds like a couple of lovely teachers stepping up to help fill the void left by the teacher who passed. It will take time, but the children are so traumatized when that happens.

Tinytina:
Have fun at the airshow. There was one in Chicago last weekend!

Good Morning!
Have to leave the nest today, no more relaxing days for a few.

Routines and ETEing
Pick up friend for knitting
Bring in trash cans when empty
Pick up meds

The next few days are busy, but fun days. Knitting, UFP at another gal's house, card making class, and lunch out with new friends. Looking forward to it.

Have a great day all, put some fun into your day! YOU deserve it!
