It is going to be a good day today I can just feel it.

The world always looks brighter from behind a smile. ~Author Unknown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I started watching what I eat and riding my bicycle one day last week. I always feel so much better when I do plus I need to lose weight. I'm in my best friend from high school wedding in December so I don't have long. I've kept it up so far. Down only 2 pounds but I'm not complaining.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have had a super busy week already and it seems it isn't going to tapper off till Sunday. Nick has a yard to mow every night this week which leaves him usually getting home after dark. He knows business is about to slow down though so he doesn't mind the work. I need to do some major cleaning out in my house so I've been doing a little bit every night. I need to work on hairbows so I can get them on the internet to sell. It's just crazy around our house. Macie has been super sweet and just goes with the flow....THANK GOD for an awesome sweet beautiful daughter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will have to share a little story about Macie. She was so sweet yesterday...she was running around the house being silly as usual and every so often would just come grab me and just squeeze me as tight as her little arms would let her. I just love it!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maybe I'll get the hang of blogging soon and will post more. Please let me know if you are reading and if you are and have your own blog I'll return the favor.

A friend of mine just emailed this to me and I just have to share it.
Why females should avoid a girls night out after they are married....
If this does not make you laugh out loud, you have lost your sense of humor.
The other night I was invited out for a night with the 'girls.' I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, 'I promise!'Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily.
Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him. Even when totally smashed... 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals 12 cuckoos = MIDNIGHT!
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him 'MIDNIGHT'... he didn't seem pissed off in the least.
Whew, I got away with that one!
Then he said 'We need a new cuckoo clock.' When I asked him why, he said, 'Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said 'oh f**k.' Cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.

I have to vent again.
It is only 9:15 and someone has already called up here and cussed at me along with telling me they are never coming back here ever again. Why? Because they don't want to pay their bill and would rather jump from doctor to doctor then to take responsibility for it.
So much for staying calm today. I really woke up this morning in a wonderful mood, cleaned my house, stopped by the store, it was great! Amazing how one person can just ruin it for you.

STRESS! STRESS! STRESS!
That's me today!
The patient statements for the office went out last week so I've been overwhelmed with phone calls. That usually doesn't bother me but it seems like everyone is wanting to be so mean. I'm not a mean person and I'm more than willing to help so I just don't understand how someone that doesn't even know me can just start in with the harsh tone in their voice and continue even after I've apologized or said I'd correct the mistake.
When I've stressed I get a headache and my back hurts...not good!
Thanks for letting me rant!

What a day it has been....
Last night my dad called about 9:30 and told us we'd better get gas b/c prices would be shooting up by about a dollar this morning. Of course, we took off and filled all the vehicles up as well as the gas cans. Gas was up from $3.67 to about $3.99 in most places this morning. At lunch they were up a little above $4.00 and in a near by town, which has only one gas station, it was $5.99. I haven't heard of price changes in the last few hours but have heard a lot of the stations are out of gas and will not have any until the end of the weekend.
I think we'll be staying at home for the most part this weekend...can't take any chances.
I had to leave the house about 5 to pick Macie up from school and this is how all of the gas stations look. This station is normally empty!!
Well, on a lighter note...I cooked yummy sloppy joes for supper tonight and just wanted to share the recipe. I do cut this recipe in half otherwise you could feed a ton of folks.

Sloppy Joe Di Maggios
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds lean ground sirloin or ground turkey
1 packages beef or pork hot dogs, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon steak seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (14.5-ounce) can tomato sauce
9 soft burger rolls - like at the ballpark
Heat the extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan, in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add meat and crumble as it browns. Add chopped hot dogs after 3 to 4 minutes then cook 3 to 4 minutes more. Add the onions to the pan and cook to soften, 5 to 6 minutes more. In a bowl mix the spices, sugar, Worcestershire and tomato sauce. Pour sauce over the meat and simmer a few minutes to combine flavors. Slop onto buns and serve.
I'll leave you this evening with a few more pictures I've taken with my camera.
