Good Morning all!!

Another day of no sleep. You'd think I'd be able to sleep now that my finals are over...but, hey, I didn't sleep much before I went back to school, what makes me think it will change now!

Today will be busy. I have the last of the Junior Girl Scout Events today. It's from 10-4 but only 4 girls signed up and their parents are all planning on staying so I only have to be there as the Girl Scout Leader but will only be responsible for K-Bug. She will be missing a softball game and mother/daughter dance classes so she can attend this last event--this was scheduled first and a registered CORI checked person needs to be there to lead the team so I'm obligated (it's raining so I'm pretty sure the softball game won't go on anyway). I was planning on leaving the Girl Scout event early as we have tickets for a minor league baseball game but with the rain...I don't know if we'll even bother heading over there.

They aren't having lunch during that whole time period so I need to pack a snack/light lunch to hold us over until we get out... I'm hoping to be out of there by 2 pm! Maybe I'll just go get sandwiches at Subway... would make the most sense...

Didn't know what to give my mom for Mother's Day tomorrow so I made her some business cards as she's been complaining that she needs some. I wrapped it up all pretty like... she's the "practical type" so I know she'll appreciate something like that better than more flowers.

Not sure what we're doing tomorrow... I had planned on spending the day with the family (DH and K-Bug) and have them all do what I asked but DH wants to go to his mother's so I may just do lunch at my mom's as is the usual. Maybe I'll have them take me out for breakfast. Maybe a bike ride.

For today though, my plan is to try not to eat too much junk at the ball game (if it does go on) and get my workout in today. I got on the elliptical yesterday and got winded so fast... I have to work up my stamina again... that's what I get for being so lazy... I did 11 minutes yesterday and I was out of breath.... I used to be able to go up to 40 minutes at one time without even breaking a sweat... yup... out of shape!

Anyway... I hope everyone has a great day today!!! I'm so happy that Spring is finally here!!!!!!!!

Carnival is keeping me busy! Wasnt too busy last night due to the rain, but we still brought in $550.. and thats selling fries at $1.75 and funnel cakes at $2. Im sure the other windows made quite a bit too! Ive had a headache from this stupid rain. We went out last night and due to my headache I only drank half a bottle.

We have carnival again today, last day, then we will be going out again. We will see how I feel tonight. I dont plan on drinking much at all though.

Oh.. I called Lowes on Friday. Talked to the lady that does the hiring. She said she wants to hire me, but she can only hire part times for weekends right now. So I said I will work weekends with the intention of going to days. She goes..okay, come in Monday at 2 for an interview!!! Im going to talk and see if she will hire full time days though. That would work way better after the summer. But weekends will work great for summer. So Im going to talk to her about it. Working weekends is going to mess with our events though Since we we are supposed to be gone 3 weekends in June, I dont see that happening. I have one Friday I have to be at an event, so Ill just say I need that Friday off, but we will come back Friday night. Then I do have 2 weekends we are in Gettysburg.. I am NOT giving those weekends up. Then we have 2 weekends we are supposed to be in Missouri, Ill just ask for the first weekend off, then we have to come back a bit early Works for me, I didnt want to be there that long anyways!! So we shall see what happens. Ill be happy to be full time days too (I rather full time actually..will get our debts paid off faster!). Ill let you know what happens Monday!

I have about five more pages left and hope to be finished with this last paper in the next 3 or 4 hours. I have let it drag on way too long.
