Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Hi Friends
Nora, Savannah is adorable. Such a sweet little peanut with an oh-so kissable face. :heartbeat: Glad you and hubs were able to get out today and leave your mom with a caregiver. Sorry you are feeling down.:hug: Maybe you have postpartum depression for grandmas? Only half kidding, sweetheart. I have been kind of down, too...all the excitement gearing up to the wedding and then between and my foot and losing a tooth, aye yi yaye...you know what I am trying to say. Hahaha! Sorry my message box was full. I cleaned it out somewhat. Yes, I am going to a suburb of Salt Lake. Thanks for asking.

I'm off to bed. I just took a dip in the pool and I am so sleepy.

Sweet dreams, everyone. Glassie...I know it's Sunday for you so please take a break today and try not to work too hard.

Hi all,
Nora, hope you get to feeling better. I have some days where I get a bit down. I see my 40 year h.s. reunion on f.b. yest. Am I really that old? Only recognized one person...the pool is above ground with a deck around it. I don't know how to take care of it. There is a vacuum but I dont know how to do it. And some chemicals. Will post pic when I get time....little Savannah is so cute!! Have to unload truck today. DD1 bf still here but they sleep in so I will do it myself. I feel kinda bad I worked him so hard while he has been here, but I needed help. I gave them some money to go out to eat and the other kids that helped. They are always starving it seems hahaha.....later...b

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

I thought that I had decided to turn the stage over to someone else and yet here it is all about me again! Enough of that.

Nope - never enough my darling. We all LOVE chatty Nora.

Glassie - How are things going with work? Has it eased of at all? How about your thesis? You, my dear, need a vacation to Africa.

Work is way too busy, and my "holiday" is just making it worse. But I have the best team in the world and I'm so proud of them all. One of them is a young woman who I engaged as a grad about 7 years ago and now she's come so far that i'll be putting her in my management position while I'm away. I just love millennials and it really P****es me off when people criticise them.

EDIT: Sorry - that was my rant because I hear it all the time at work.

Morning friends,Bird maybe you can find a cheap pool guy once you get settled,usually there's someone around who does small odd jobs looking for work Gladys,you sound really proud of your young help that's great! Rusty,safe travels to UT,Liz,pool time today maybe? I haven't been in a pool all summer am going to Newport beach in September tho but I never get into the water just my feet,Nora,keep up with your yoga I've read that after time it helps mood,I exercise but mostly I'm a walking/jogging machine! I need to get into more weights again and yoga,I'm just either busy with the boys or busy parking my arse on the couch in the evening I forgot to tell you guys that Romeo can stand!

I've been enjoying some old music.......

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Techie - great to see you as always. Such a ray of sunshine. :hug:

Gladys :happy2: - I am with you about the millenials. I also believe that the young adults are our future if the world is going to be saved. I march with them.
Will your work always be this hectic or will it ease up once you finish your thesis? I hope that you can get away and just forget about it all.

Pauly - how was breakfast? I thought about sneaking out to breakfast with hubby while Mom was asleep but then I fell back asleep. LOL I didn't wake up until after 9:00!!!!

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Bird - the pool sounds wonderful. I think Pauly has a good idea. Have somebody come out & show you what you need to do.

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Rusty - I hope that you have a wonderful time on your trip. I know it's business but I hope you can enjoy some sites.

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Waves to everyone!
Bird, I'm sure you can google taking care of the pool. You seem so handy. We have an above ground as well and hubby enjoys taking care of it. I'm sure he was a fish in his former life.
NOra, I get depressed like that too, who knows why. Just ride it out and be kind to yourself. The baby is so cute.
I went in the pool today too and swam around. TS and family were here. Erin Dan and baby stayed briefly. It's moms birthday tomorrow so we took her out for lunch. She is very lonely she said. She misses daddy so much. I'm thinking of planning a few days away just so she can have Lucy.
Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. Have a great AF night.
I guess my swim wore me out, I'm off to bed. Working all week.

Glassy,I'm still sorry my dumb phone always changes your name! I looked at it and it said Glassy yet after I posted you're Gladys haha

That's kind of funny because I know you all think of me as being Australian, but I'm actually Welsh. And Gladys is a Welsh name that historically has been bestowed upon royalty. So I shall now be referred to as Queen Glassie (or Queen Gladys) from all you lesser folk. :rotlf:

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Good Morning and Greetings From Utah!

So I woke up to this:

And Gladys is a Welsh name that historically has been bestowed upon royalty. So I shall now be referred to as Queen Glassie (or Queen Gladys) from all you lesser folk

. Your Highness, when shall we hold your coronation?:applouse: Let me ask Meghan Markle if we could borrow her tiara for a few minutes. LOL. Lovely Queen Gladys....please tell us what your career goal is that you are pursuing your doctoral degree? We would all like to know, as your royal subjects.

Aww, Liz:hug: I understand how lonely your mom must be...my mom was lonely too after my dad passed away. Fortunately, like my mom, your mom has her strong faith and a fantastic family to support her. Letting her have Lucy for a few days is a splendid idea, and so unselfish of you.

Nora, I happen to like when you are chatty. :-) I am SO sorry you have family in Redding.:sad: Did they escape the wildfires? Salt Lake has a thick gray haze that hides the mountain ranges and it's because of the wildfires. No, I won't be able to see any sights when I am here this week but that is totally ok. I am in a nice hotel suite and I am very comfortable. You know exactly what I do for a living so you know that sightseeing after working in a manufacturing environment is no Bueno when it's this hot. LOL.
[MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]-I agree with everyone...hire a handyman to show you how to care for the pool. You will love it once you know how to care for it....especially on those blistering hot days. ;-)
[MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION], sweetheart! So good to see you! How are you doing?

Pauly-that is so cool that Romeo can stand up! I love watching babies at that age. So fun. Why are you going to Newport? Are you excited?

Ok, Kids, and Queen Gladys, I am off to do some work before work, so happy AF Monday to all!

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Morning friends,well Queen Gladys my phone must have known you're Welsh haha Rusty,glad you got to UT safe,when I was back home I was watching the SLC news cuz thats the channels they get and seen the mention of a fire that's been burning for awhile now,shoot so dry everywhere! Going to CA just to go,no particular reason Liz,glad you got some pool time in and hope your mom can get some grandpup time in if you go away,Bird,enjoy getting settled in your new house,Nora,waves to you,much love to all and wishes for a wonderful AF Monday!

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Hello - just called out today.
I really don't know what's up with me. Just couldn't do it. I went to bed at 5:00 pm yesterday. Slept until 8 and then got up and got settled and really went to bed. Slept until 9:00 when Mom woke up with some confusion trying to get dressed. I got her settled and went back to sleep for the rest of the night. :egad:
I should be full of energy right now. LOL
