100 Days of Ghoulie power, Part II (Page 43)

Wow!  You ARE brave! 

Good luck on the race!  Enjoy it

Good Morning!

Just make sure that all the electronic gadgets are fully charged before you start your race.  That should keep them occupied while you are racing.  Have a great time.

Hello ghoulies.  This will be a busy weekend for me. 

Saturday morning I will be working (and walking since I can't run) the first annual Rotary/Citizens Police Academy race.  This will be a fundraiser for both groups.  Rotary is putting their funds towards building a pavilion for the new community garden.

Saturday afternoon we have a wedding to go to.

Sunday morning, we have to get up at the crack of stupid and ride the motorcycles to the other side of Atlanta and work a bicycle race.  We will be the motocrew helping along the route.  I'm thinking that since we will be riding through Atlanta at about 5:00 in the morning on Sunday that we can take the highway without too much problem.  Coming home will be another story as I won't go on the highway with traffic. 

Luckily I have Friday off to prepare and Monday off to recuperate. 

Hey there Ghoulies. I woke up to no power so I decided to get my inspection done early. I had to spend a few minutes chatting with "neighbors" at the end of the road until the tree was lifted from across the power lines. Tomorrow is another day teaching so I won't be able to check in until late.

Kendra, sounds like a great weekend, especially with the recovery day at the end! You will have fun in your race! (I really did put the check for two tickets in the mail today).

Amy, Glad to see you pop in. Remember to take care of you with all of that taking care of everyone else. Your race sounds fun. Take care with that trailer. We want to see pictures.

Ann, how is the boy today?

Well hello there.

What a day. Both kiddos were home sick today. My son has what the pediatrician thinks is Strep throat. She said it could be a virus that is going around, but they haven't seen a lot of the virus, they have been seeing a lot of the strep, and he has classic symptoms. The quick strep test came back negative, but she said almost all they have seen lately it doesn't show positive until 24 hour later, so she said don't be surprised if we get a call from their office tomorrow. He has been off of school for the last 2 days, and they want him to stay home tomorrow, too. He had perfect attendance until the last 17 days of school.

AND

I turned down a job offer today making A LOT of money. It would have been $12,000 more a year than I'm making now, but I would have had to give up a few of my paid personal days off, 2 holidays, and the flexibility I have with my schedule, which means no more working from home. I couldn't do it. I also would have been working where I worked a few years ago, just with a different company on a different project. I found out the names of a few of the people I'd be working with, and I didn't want to work with them. We have food on the table, clothes on our backs, and the bills are all paid. This wasn't something I HAD to take.

Be careful on the motorcycles. Is your back ok when you ride?

Sorry to hear that both kiddos are sick today.  And bummer on your son missing out on perfect attendance in the last couple of weeks of the year.

On the lighter side of things...

We own an incubator, for hatching eggs. Years ago when we had guineas we hatched out several batches. My daughter's class is hatching eggs now, they should hatch this week. My SIL lost 15 chickens to foxes just this week, so I spoke with her, and we are going to hatch her some baby chicks. I've got the incubator setup, checking the temp, and I ordered eggs today. In 21+ days we should have some fuzzy little chicks in our house. I'll take pictures. Actually, when they start hatching I'm going to try and get some video.

Good morning Ghoulies.

Ann, you were out here bright and early this morning, but then again, I guess you usually are.

The third graders in our school district have hatched out butterflies from cocoons, frogs from tadpoles, and now the chicks from eggs. My daughter has seen the butterflies, and chicks before. She's also seen a baby horse being born. We have 2 baby horses on the road right now, we go visit them frequently. That's spring time on a farm.

If you don't get to go out, I have some yogurt in the fridge. Help yourself.

Um... I just read an article that a man with 30 children, all 14 and under, to 11 different women, can't afford child support. He makes minimum wage. I think someone should tell him how babies are made.

You just can't fix STUPID!

Good morning Ghoulies!

I couldn't sleep, so I came to work. It could be a long day though, because I have to stay until the other guy leaves, it's his last day. He usually works until 5, I'm hoping he doesn't today. Keri has track and field day at school this afternoon, I'd like to get there for part of it.

Morning Ghoulies. It was a long day yesterday. Drove to Salisbury, taught a class, drove back in time to get to the benefit auction a little late, 7:00pm. Today is supposedly my day off but I have to go to the State Park and to re-do inspection from the other day. I couldn't get to the whole thing because of the massive rains and mud. Then some chores, then some yard work. Hopefully a swim will be in there.

He and all of the women need "fixed".

This applies to lots of things as well as running. I may have to etch these on my forehead!

Good morning, Robin.

I have a piece of advice for you and your husband. Run. Run a lot. Run if you're tired. Run if your sore. Run if you don't feel like running. 26.2 miles is a very long way. So run.

Morning Ann

I may walk a bit, too!
