[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 359435, member: 3704"] Wow, it's hard to believe that it is already the middle of the week! Sharon (WO), a massage is a wonderful teacher appreciation gift! That's something I wish that I had thought of when my guys were in school. Enjoy. I hear what you hear about the "see food" diet. I'm there with you.... Sharon (LDM), moving is so stressful ... you are a wonderful Mom to help out so much. I know easy child really appreciates the assistance. Do get that soak in the hot tub afterwards. husband took difficult child and myself along to New Orleans for a business trip last week. The weather was great, the food was awesome (no shortage of seafood), and we had a wonderful time. difficult child really surprised us with his flexibility. Travel has always been somewhat of a chore with him, made even more difficult by his limited diet. He "stepped out" and tried lots of new foods. Maybe it has something to do with the charm of New Orleans? He even went shopping and bought himself a snazzy hat. It may not sound like a lot, but this is all a huge step forward for him. We came home to the nice news that difficult child maintained his "B" average for his second semester of college. This means he maintains his Hope Scholarship. All in all, good news all the way around. Our second good news is that sister in law and her husband are coming to visit this weekend. We've tried to step in and have holiday get-togethers since husband's Mom has passed away. His siblings and their children are scattered from one coast to the next - and this sister has not been able to come for several years. She was a real estate agent, and since the market has tanked, she has taken up jewelry making. Her business has taken off beyond expectations, and she's participating in a jewelry show in town here this weekend. We're looking forward to seeing her and her husband; they are such good folks. easy child called us yesterday. He is attempting a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. I still can't believe he is doing this, it's such a big goal. He's almost to Virginia and has made a lot of new trail buddies. The first week was very tough for him, as the weather turned unexpectedly cold - but he has hung in there. I'm just so glad that he sometimes encounters cell service and can call.

LOL It looks to be a beautiful day here today. My boss called me last night and offered me an extra telework day today, so I am enjoying my work day here at home. It's a good thing, because I'm still pretty tired after our trip. I hope everyone can find some quiet moments of peace for themselves today. Valerie [/QUOTE]
