I am so very glad it is Friday ! We have decided to go camping this weekend. I was not too excited about it, as a cold front is supposed to come thru, and on Sunday and Monday it should rain. I dont want rain ! ! ! I want to be in the sun and warmth, and wear shorts and t-shirts ! However, I am outvoted on the camping issue. Every one wants to go irregardless of the weather. Sure…they have a pop up camper w/a heater where as we have a canvas tent ! But I do love camping. and I do love where we are going; the Desert. No hook-ups, no people, no nothing but dirt, rocks and fresh air. This will be the first time in a couple years we have been back there, and my son sooo misses it. The best part for him is going w/my Sis, her hubby and six dogs. He says its just not the same with out the doggies ! ! I agree, we do have a great time.

So. Before we go I have to catch up on my blogging as I wont be around till next Tuesday. Wee Hee ! ! !

Nothing like taking the day off work so that I can stay home with a sick child. I had to use Vacastion time instead of a sick day as I am running low on sick time. He seems to be doing better; so much better that his playing his Wii. Not a rush rush game, just a very mellow one; Pikmin. Its actually a cute game. No idea tho, whats for dinner. He ate only juice and string cheese all day.

I am still wondering about camping this weekend tho. The weather guy says it is supposed to rain all weekend, and be in the 40’s. I just dont know if it is worth it to go. Especially when the kiddo is still under the weather - sorta speak -

I sure could use a nice relaxing weekend instead of a hustle-bustle camping trip . . . hmmm, maybe even relax in some walk in tubs, with lots of bubbles of course. *sigh*

Good Gosh. The kiddo called me from school today and said he threw up in class. So….there I went to pick him up and check him out of school. Can you believe this !? This is now three weeks in a row that he has been sick one or two days during the week. Well, tomorrow he is not going back to school. I just dont get it either. The only thing I can figure, is that he needs to eat healthier food and cut out the soda pop. But he has been doing much better and not drinking much pop, but we need eat more veggies, well…he does at least, thats all I ever eat. He will not eat anything that I fix for myself, I have to fix seperate meals w/meat for him. I did stop that last weekend, and have not cooked for him since. He used his own money for a fast food item a few days ago. I told him last weekend, when I got so dang upset about the Tyson Chicken incident, that I was no longer cooking for him. I have kept my word too ! Today was easy as he is puking and cannot eat one thing anyways. so HA !

I know, I am a mean Mom some days, but I mean really ! he needs to get w/the program here at home and eat healthy foods. errrrr. Maybe now as he lies miserable on the couch, I can convince him to eat better. sheesh.

Anyways, I do feel terrible that he is sick again. Mostly cuz we might have to cancel our planned camping trip this weekend….just kidding

I hope he feels better soon. The poor guy….

I have noticed that since I have been a little stressed out these days because of work, and yes, my terrible eating habits of late, that I have started to break out with Acne a little more than usual. Which totally sucks by the way! I am too old to worry about Acne and Acne Treatment. My son is about that age now and I have noticed him starting to break out a little too. I chalk it up to eating to much chocolate and burgers, but I was reading on line that foods don’t effect it THAT much. Of course we have to eat a balanced diet with lots of fruits, veggies and whatnot to get all our daily vitamins, but I guess recent studies cannot prove an occational greasy burger will cause you to break out the next day. Which is good, cuz I do love Fries with that Burger !

I do know my triggers though and stress is a big one. Even when I am unconsciously stressed, my body tells me. Plus, I have been slackin’ on drinking water every day. I used to be real good too ! I guess I just need to push myself into getting back in shape again so that I can have clear beautful skin again.

Well I am back at my own desk here at work. My Gosh ! ! I never realized just how miserable it was to be a ‘floater’. I think the last three days have been thee most unproductive days ever here at work. It is true, some days I just dont do work stuff, but on those days I am still productive and do other non-work related things, heeheehee. Tomorrow I will start back on track.

Plus, I think I am over my ‘munching’ phase. I only ate 7 small cookies today, I counted them in my daily calorie (aka Weight Watchers points) and as long as I only eat my soup and bread today, I will be with in my limits. We have places to go tonight so no sitting on the couch for me.

I seem to be in an immensly better mood now that I have my desk back. I never realized……..

I have decided that I need a Hobby. Last night I ate all the Vanilla Ice Cream we had in the house. Plus, I also got into the Peanut Butter, and since there was no Chocolate I ate Chocolate Chips! Today I am not a happy camper. So, I need a hobby to get my butt off the couch, out in the world, doing something ! Since I totally love all kinds of shoes, including Dance Shoes, I thought I would look into Dance. My Dad and I used to Square Dance when we lived in Chicago and I really loved it. However, I don’t think my son will agree to coming with me, so I need to find some other Dance class that I could take alone. Perhaps, Tap Dancing, Modern Dance or even Ballroom Dancing. Ohhhh, maybe I will find me a hot male dance partner, heeheehee.

Well I am now sitting at my third different desk today at work. I still dont have my desktop as the tech guy took the entire thing to install a new hard drive. That was yesterday and I am still waiting. I am not very good at waiting. No patience for it.

Plus, this is so frustrating to sit at some body else’s desk. I like MY colors, MY calanders, MY favorites. But now I have nothing. Plus, I have been sneezing so much I had to take an allergy pill and now I am just about falling out of my chair cuz I am so darn drowzy.

I want to go home, waa waa waa.

We are experiencing a big drop in tempurature today. Yesterday we hit an all time high of 80 degrees; today the wind is blowing and it is supposed to drop to around 40 degrees. Of course it is still freezing here at work. To make things worse, I am sitting as some other person desk across the room (since my hard drive died yesterday), right by a cold window and the cold air is seeping in from small crack because I can feel the draft. Unfortunatly I have still not purchased a space heater. Yet. But I feel the need even more today. Perhaps Desa heating products will be my ultimate choice in heaters. I just need a nice small one to warm up my toes and legs here at work. Or, even better, I can get a heater for our house as well! I am so tired of being cold all the time.
