I guess ya'll can tell I'm back in the full swing of things again.  Fewer blog entries equal more working time.  Sad, I know, but it's a necessary evil.  Thought I'd jot down a quickie before I headed in this morning to start my loooong ass day. (And I'm going on exactly ZERO hours of sleep---one of those nights).  Gotta get to work before my boss does and get some reports finished by 8 a.m.  YIPES!  Guess that's what I get for lolly-gagging around the house this weekend and not going to work until Sunday at 3pm.  Hey, we gotta long weekend, I took advantage of it.  I LIKE paid Holidays.  Especailly two of them in a row.  I'm trying to prolong having to wake up the sleepin' teenager an hour early though.  He catches the bus at his friend's house so he unfortunately has to leave when I do.  He can go back to sleep for a bit once he gets there though so it's not too tough on the little brat.  okay quick update...diet is going well (even managed to stay on it over the Holiday...ate one little bitty plate of food).

Not biting my nails or drinking soft drinks either.  YAY me   Today's challenge (or "change") is......drumroll please......reduce cigarettes smoked per day.  That's gonna be a toughie for me.  Since my boss smokes, she comes and gets me for smoke breaks (every hour on the hour...no kidding).  So my plan is to tell her I can't go until I finish whatever task I'm working on at the time.  I did a test run on this one yesterday when I was at the office by myself.  I was there for 3 hours and didn't take a puff break one. So I know it's do-able.  Besides,  we have decided to go for the baby thing so I gotta quit sooner or later.  We're looking at a target pregnancy date of July.  I really don't wanta be all big and round the hottest part of the year in the Ohio Valley...icky and sticky!  So, if I get pregnant in July I'll escape the misery of a summer pregnancy.  Could do it in June but we already have 2 birthdays in March so I figure April would be nice.  Get to be off work on maternity leave during the spring.  Aaahh...how groovy is that?  Of course, this all based on the success of the tubal ligation reversal.  Cross fingers...uncross pipes..tee hee.  I'm actually kinda getting excited about it now.  The more we talk about it, the more I wanta go for it. 

YIPES....look at the time!  I gotta run for now. More later if I'm not totally exhausted by the time I get home tonight around 10 or so...Gotta pick a kid up from basketball practice at 9 and it's right out by work so with gas prices these days, it's kinda silly to drive 20 miles home, 20 miles back and 20 miles home again so I'll just stay at work until he's done.  Picked a really bad day to forget to do something that's due by 8 a.m., huh?  Told ya I had a loooong ass day in store for me.  So I guess I should shut up and get to it!  mh
