Hi everyone. Thanks for hounding me. I need that.

Just got home from work. I did wear glasses today, but didn't tell the girls to hound me, since tomorrow is the last day they will see me with glasses. I didn't want to come back here and report that I asked you for help and then just did what I would have done anyway, so know that this is helping. Have been trying to get someone to trade me Sunday shifts (I work just morning on Sundays and wish I could go to church at least some of the time - I'd be fine with working swing shift), and have about three people who say they would trade me sometimes, but so far won't commit to any specific dates or schedule or anything. It's probably just as well that I don't get to go to church tomorrow, as I would probably wear contact lenses. But I'll be at work, and for just 8-3, so I can handle that.

My ankle is another story. I'm really not letting it heal. I keep doing yoga stretches and positions that hurt it, and jumping rope. But concentrating on that might be enough of a distraction, huh? And I guess it is healing. You should have seen me run down the stairs full speed behind the girls when there was a fire drill today. Up until that point I was limping down the stairs, even though I don't limp when I walk anymore. I even bought myself some new boots, since we are having wet slushy snow here every other day, and my other boots that I was wearing all the time because it feels better to have some ankle support have holes in the bottoms, and my socks were getting soaked as soon as I stepped out the door.

Cutting is up to three times for the week, and when I got home and saw that although the kids had cleaned up the laundry room like I told them to (it was bad!), they left garbage all over the living room and kitchen that we had looking good and I was trying to maintain, and also left the bread that I got up early this morning to help them make just sitting in the pans all day to dry out. I mentioned these things to hubby, and he said it isn't worth it to even try because I'll never be satisfied no matter how hard they work. So I clawed at my back some more.

How's that for a full report? TMI?

{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}} to all of you for caring.
