Oh my word, I wasn't sure I was going to survive this week! But it's Friday, my husband is home, and I have a big fat brownie waiting on me for dessert tonight. All is right with the world!

My job is absolutely, positively, downright AWFUL. I just really can't handle it anymore. I need to work overtime (and they have agreed to pay us for doing so), but I just can't find the time - I am busy at home too! All day long at my office, I am literally on the phone for 80% of the day when I am not with clients, which doesn't leave much time to get things done. Uggghhh, so frustrating! I sure hope today is better!
So Chris is home - he got back into town and came to my office 5 minutes before closing time, and ran up behind me and threw his arms around me. It was so sweet! Then we went to get Collin from daycare and he screamed and squealed when he saw his Bishy! I cooked steaks and baked potato for dinner last night (timing was perfect Kate, by the way).
I have a full day with no clients to get paperwork done and hopefully the phones will cooperate. My mom is coming tonight - her birthday was on Monday. She asked for the Barefoot Contessa brownies instead of cake, so I baked the brownies in 10, 8, and 6" cake pans and stacked them for a tiered brownie cake!
Kate, you asked recently about my mom's surprise party - the surprise got busted It's a long and painful story, but a 'good friend' went behind my back and told her and blew the whole thing up. So no party
Not sure on a workout today, we will see how the day goes...

Nina, Nice days for you! Julia and I were out on the big trampoline yday and she kept saying "bounce bounce bounce" - it was so cute! Glad the yoga is going good for you! That's how I feel about CS - hate to miss a day! Sorry your run was blah. The zoo sounds fun.
Party prep is in full swing! No, it shouldn't take this long to pull everything together but with my little Junie.....everything takes longer! Gina is so excited. I hope the slumber party part goes well. Isabel is being a champ helping me get the house in order. Love her!

Good morning everyone!
I am so glad it is Friday too. I am leaving work early today and heading to the beach. Too bad the weather will be crappy but we meeting some friends to celebrate St. Patty's Day. I hope to get to the outlets too but it is supposed to be rainy and windy so I don't know if I will go. I spoke with a friend last night about a job at her company. I really hope something works out soon. I am so tired of being bored at work.
Katie, sorry your mom's surprise got ruined but I am glad you can do something nice for her.
Becky, where do you get the free workout?
Nina, yeah to no cravings. Splashing in the puddles sounds like so much fun!
Kate, I hope J lets you get ready for G's party. Maybe she will take a nice long nap for you.
Wendy, you slipped in on me. Enjoy step class!

Only ONE page ??? SERIOUSLY ????
Wow, everyone must be having busy days ! I'm actually having kind of a nice , slow day .
I just did some yoga from yogajournal.com . They have 20 min. podcasts you can do or download. I did two of them today........shoulder openers and core strengtheners. Was a good series. I really like the guy on there, Jason Somebody....he's really good except he always says something and then adds, uh huh !!!!! ALL the time ! Drives me nuts !!!
Anyway........whats everybody doing this weekend ???
Possibilities for me : spin class with DD, pancake breakfast at the maple syrup festival, trip to Trader Joe's , possibly shopping at the outlet malls.
No plans are firmed up yet, so I'm in wait and see mode !
Where are the storms we were told we were getting ? We haven't even had any rain yet ! It's in the 60's and cloudy.

Kate- good luck and have fun at the party ! I loved sleepovers the girls had when they were little. It's a lot of work though !!! Def. nap if you can before the circus !
I still remember when my DS (oldest of my kids) was just little, not even 2 yet and my sister and I took him to the circus in my sisters brand new car . Well , we got there and he started being very fussy and then he was afraid of the loud noises, and just got worse and worse until we decided to leave. We got all the way back to her car after walking forever and I got him all strapped into his car seat and he threw up all over the place !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew my sister wanted to die ! She didn't have kids and this was her first brand new car !
We had to drive all the way home with the windows open because it smelled so bad and I scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed to get it clean !
Poor little guy ended up with a stomach virus. And my sister- I have to give her credit, she was cool about the whole thing .
Anyway, I hope you have a better time !!!!
LOL @ Anne's *love weekend*
