Ideas

I need something to do to help keep my mind off of my whole rise in hcg. I go Monday for my blood draw but won't get the results til Tuesday. I need something that will keep me busy til Tuesday. I do need to clean my house but just don't feel like it. Plus I can't do a whole lot of cleaning b/c of my back.

I even went as far as sending my stepsis. a msg about meeting this weekend. Her LO was born March 4. I was there the night saw her the night she had her and about a week later I took DH over to her house so he could meet her. It was all so hard on me so I haven't even really talked to her since. I think I may have talked to her once on the internet b/c I replied to a msg she sent me to see how I was doing and possibly once on the phone. I don't know what to say to her b/c I really don't want to talk about the baby.

I think I am going to get my eyebrows waxed this weekend. I really need it done. That will be one thing for sure that I am going to do.

Any suggestion ladies???

What's the weather going to be like where you are this weekend? I usually like to be outside to get fresh air and perhaps get to a park or forest and walk around to get some exercise plus enjoy the outdoors. My husband like to be spontaneous so he just takes me to local places and such like 2 weeks ago he took me to the icecream shop in the evening. Even a small thing like that warms my heart. You may not like icecream but you probably get my point. As I am not sure what you like to do I am not sure what to suggest. Pamper yourself some with things that you might have at home so that it does not cost too much. I sometimes do my own pedicures and even handwaxing to rejuvinate the skin and make sure they are moisturized. I hope you find something to do and do something that you really enjoy doing. GL!! {{Hugs}}

I would so try to go for a walk but not sure that is such a good idea with my back. Plus I am still trying to get that settled b/c it happened at work. My luck they would see me on a walk or something and say I am fine. I wouldn't get very far if I did go for a walk. DH always yells at me or makes fun of me when we go grocery shopping and stuff b/c I walk so slow.

I think the weather is supposed to be pretty nice though. I was outside at a track meet from 10:30 til about 3:30 and my arms are scorched.

I may have to drag my pedegg out.

At least the bottom of my feet aren't burnt! LOL The top of them are though.

You don't have to walk (due to the settlement issue for the work related injury) but just be outside and perhaps read a good and inspiring book. Make sure that you put on sunscreen to not scorch your arms so bad. I hope you can find something fun and enjoyable to do this weekend Lisa.

if your allowed to have a glass of wine sit outside and read a book or have a glass and soak in the bath tub bubbles make it all go away.take care.

I don't know your story so firgive me if some of these aren't possible for you. Go see a movie. Out to dinner. The Gym. Have drinks with friends. If u have a dog go for a long walk or hey, why not get a dog? They keep you busy. If u have a yard plant flowers.

We should all post some extra posts till Tuesday to help you pass the time.

HUGS.

Well, I decided to do my laundry today so I am working on getting all of that done. Decided I am not going to get my eyebrows waxed this weekend b/c my face is burnt so I don't that would feel that good. Unless I wake up tomorrow and it isn't burnt.

My stepsister hasn't called me back so no plans made with her yet. I am kind of glad though b/c I didn't really want to be around the baby. I guess I am a mean aunt since I don't want to be around my niece.

I am going to place a book order this weekend. Going to order a bunch of $1 books for my classroom (that I don't have yet) LOL

Also think I am going to make a spreadsheet of all my books that I do have. I started one but never finished it. I have WAY too many books. I think I got halfway done and stopped. Now I can't remember what tubs I have gone through and what tubs I haven't.

Got my laundry done!!! YAY!!! No more til next weekend. LOL

Had to pay some work comp bills since they aren't paying. So far I have paid 10,000 out of pocket and I still owe about 30,000. Nice huh! Might be able to get 8,000 of it paid for through the hospital b/c I filled out this financial hardship form over the summer and they paid 100% of my eye surgery. I was waiting to see if they would cover work comp. They said they might. I am hoping they do b/c I am not going to get enough out of my settlement to pay for even half of my bills.

Think I am going to clean the bathroom today, start my spreadsheet for my books, and place my book order!!! Wonder how much of it I will get done.

Oh yeah, stepsister sent me a text at like 8:15 saying she was at my dad and stepmom's house. I didn't go b/c it was too late. It would have been 9 by the time I got there b/c he live 30 min. away. Wonder if she will send me a text today?

1 MORE DAY TIL MY BLOOD WORK & 2 MORE DAYS TIL I GET THE RESULT. SUCH TORTURE.
