took off of work for a couple of days

Kids are on Easter break from school all week - I decided that I needed a couple of days off also, so I took off for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Today is Thursday and we are all headed to Bobby's baseball game. it is a double header today. It is kind of yucky outside - damp and cool - not a lovely day for sitting at two ball games. I will probably spend some time in the car knitting or reading. My back has been hurting so I am not sure how long I will be able to sit there. Either way I am not at work and I am trying to relax and de-stress myself.

mammo was clear

Posted this as a comment to original post but it doesn't just show up - so I figured the news did deserve its own post.

MAMMO was clear :) all clear for a year -----wooo hooo !!

When will this week end

I have felt all day that it was Friday - how I wish this week would end. For some unknown reason this week has been unbelievably long. I am so glad that Friday is finally upon us. I think I need to take a couple of days off. Employees at work have been taxing to say the least. Usually you get this false sense of security and then all of a sudden it explodes. I try to be a fair and reasonable boss but sometimes no matter what you do it is not good enough. Most people fail to realize that we all work for a company and there are rules. I cannot help but to enforce the rules, that is my job. Most of the people in the office that have an "attitude" are the "guilty" ones. I am weary of these people. Usually when I feel like this it is time to take some time off and regroup, strengthen my reserve. I feel that this will be in my near future for if it isn't I shall go mad. (Like the drama?""""")
I just watched "John Adams" the mini series on HBO - we watched episodes one and two. This Sunday will be episode three. The series is really good so far. It makes you feel so "patriotic" you know the whole "Give me Liberty or give me death" feeling. I so love the history of our country, which most people forget about. If anyone reads this and has HBO you should so watch this series. I think that it might even be good enough that school children should watch this. Our freedom should not be taken for granted. Men and women died for us. Men and women continue to die for this country. No one that has ever died for our freedom or our country should be forgotten.
Happy Easter to all who read. Remember Easter is for the honor of someone who also died for us. Died for us so our sins could be forgiven - the ultimate sacrifice. If only everyone realized the sacrifices made for each of us.

May the Lord continue to watch over each of us and protect us. Keep a watch on me Dad- I miss you but I know I will see you again one day. PS: Mom is doing ok.

Happy St Patty's day

Hope you have your green shirt on - Mine says "Luck of the Irish" with a big ole glass of Guiness.

Was alittle bored here at work today - I hate Mondays and I got the Monday midday tired eyes, so I went internet shopping. I bought a couple new pattern books, a row counter and a cute little "critter case". I so need the row counter for the blanket coat I am working on - it will be easier than a paper and pencil to do the count.

We had a weekend of sitting in the cold watching our high schooler play baseball. The season has begun. I love sitting and knitting but actually yesterday it was so cold I had trouble knitting - my fingerless gloves kept my hands warm but my fingers were too cold to knit - so I switched to my mittens and just watched the game. Game goes slower if you don't knit !!!!

Come on Spring !!!!!!

Have a Happy St Patricks Day - stay away from the green beer because green puke is not so cute!!!!!

today is Mammo day

Just alittle bit worried - I hate getting tests that are looking for something when I am not sick - I am always afraid that they will find something. Make sense?

So today I feel like the picture - just close my eyes and put my head down. Wish me luck!!

and finally like this !!

"Oh my God, Oh my God!!!!!!!"

or maybe you feel like this ---

like "Get away from me ----now!!"

don't you feel like this sometimes

Some has your shit and they won't give it back !!!!!

Just for Melissa

My ever faithful blog watcher!!!! Yes I am alive - but I have definitely had better days. In my fourth day of the flu - It has attacked my head, my nose, my chest, my arms, now my stomach and lower intestines! Sounds like fun doesn't it - I have hardly knit - I have watched Law & Order, and the TNT channel and today there was a Ghost Hunters marathon - woo hoo
I refuse to resort to Jerry Springer though - Please pray for my wellness - I don't want to associate with Jerry Springer or Maury and I am getting afraid that the channel is pulling me closer. !!!! Never forget to get your flu shot !!! I shall never forget again !!

Love ya Melissa and remember you should be working !!!!!

I'M SICK

I hate being sick- head hurts, chest hurts - I feel so bad I can't even knit - so I am just laying here like a big ole lump!! Bring on the pity party and don't forget the Nitetime-sniffling-sneezing-coughing-head-fever-so I can sleep medicine!!!

Time to knit

There is just never enough time to knit. Today I spent the day at Ewenique Yarns, I help out every Saturday. I love spending time there.
Now I am home, lounge clothes on and the time to knit is upon me. I am going to make Neal his "mohawk hat" in his high school colors. The mohawk hat was a hit at the yarn store today , everyone wants to make one in Baltimore Raven colors or Baltimore Orioles colors. I can't wait to see them
Feeling a cold coming on - I hate having a cold, but it seems like half of Baltimore is sick with either the flu or a cold. Hopefully resting tonight and tomorrow will help.
So on with the knitting!
