Lazy Day

I spent my day off in my pj's, yes I did, all day!! It was very enjoyable! I watched tv and played on the computer and a bunch of other stuff. One of the things I did was write a letter to the Ellen Show. She has a place to ask for a car for someone that needs one.  Brittany is in desperate need of a car. I hate that I am not able to get one for her. So I filled out the form and told them her story. The story of Lilly and how Brittany has to take her to doctors appointments and therapy visits by borrowing a car. She even needed to call the ambulance once because she has no car. I hate that I can't help her more than I do.

I spent the weekend with my parents. We had a very nice visit. We went shopping, out to eat, and just enjoyed spending time together. Mom helped me decorate the first floor bathroom. We did a beach theme. I love it. It looks so nice.

It's back to work tomorrow and I have a hundred things to do. I am getting to the point that I hate work. There is always something that has to be done, right away. I just can't teach. There is paperwork and other projects that need to be completed. I only have seven more years of this. Hopefully, I'll still love it as time passes.

I just realized that Lilly will be a year old in a month and a half. A year old!! It seems like yesterday she was just born. She has been the biggest blessing to our family. It seems like we have all gotten closer because of her. She is so happy, and she makes us all very happy. I smile every time I think of her precious face. I miss her so much. Sometimes I'm jealous that Jim gets to be with her everyday and I don't. She cried when she came to see me and I held her. It took her a few minutes to warm up to me. I don't think that would have happened if she were always with me. She reacted her little hands up to my face, took off my glasses, and felt all over my face, then laid her sweet head on my chest as if to say I remember you Mimi. I can't wait to hear what her voice will sound like. She has been signing a lot lately, even putting two words together. She is so smart.

It seems like since I have more time for myself I tend to do nothing. I need to be up exercising and doing more things that I like. So I plan on going to play poker one night this week. I miss playing cards and I miss my friends. As for the exercising, I guess I need to make time for that too (and actually do it). Why is it so hard to exercise? I just need to stand up and MOVE. But it is soooo hard. I wish I could run and get the same feeling my friends do. All I feel is pain everywhere and then exhaustion! So maybe I'll start with a walk. Ok, I promise one day this week I will walk, I promise! I promise! I will, really. I will also get my exercise ball blown back up. Bill that's on you! I need to borrow your air thingy, please.

Ok, to sum it all up...poker one day this week and walking one day. Sounds like a good plan!! Would it be too much to ask for a two hour delay or a snow day this week? I would like one really, really good snow, you know like 6 to 36 inches would be fine with me!! Off to lala land.

Good night all,
