hey everyone

how's your night going so far? Well mine is is going I've been up since 6am. It's after 10:30pm and I'm falling asleep in front of my computer as I type! I spent the weekend helping this couple watch thier kids so that they can catch up on some rest from thier stressful lives. They have4 kids ranging in age from 16 month to 10 years old Two boys and tw girls and they have energy .... Thier parents have had a really stressful couple of years when her husband had to go in for major brain surgery. He's getting better slowly but the irony if you can call it that was he started his new job as a doctor Uroligist a couple of month before when he started to feel funny ... Long story short the operation was a sucess but know they owe a lot of money so I have decided to help them by watching thier kids when I can they live about 2 hours away from me. From the points I earn here and money I earn elsewhere at a job that I may have to quit soon becuase my shcedule at college just changed again ... I try to help them.

Last night I took all 6 of them out for ice cream as a treat. The mother was shocked I was willing to pay for all of them!? I happen to have a job now in between college classes so I told her choose whatever you want it's my treat. One of the boys decided he wanted two flavors and two cones the mother put her foot down on that! I had a great time with them and she got a chance to sleep and relax even spend some time with her husband ..

anyway I have to go now I'm to tired ...

how was your weekend? did you get any sleep? Friday I went to sleep at 1 and the kids woke us at 630am Saturday night 230 sleep today they woke us at 625

By the way my goal for the month was 3100 points I know have 658! Please help me! I'm not going for the cash option since I need the gift cards for various things ...

It's nice of you to help your friends!

I sleep, but I sleep during the day because I deliver papers at night. I never really feel refreshed - I always feel tired. And when you wake up at 2 pm, the whole world is already doing stuff, so I feel like I've missed out on things.

It was a fairly quiet weekend around here. I banged up my knee doing who in the heck knows what, so I tried to stay off of it.

That is so nice that you helped that family out. I am sure they appreciated it so much. I don't think I could handle 4 kids!

I had a good weekend. Got a lot done. Saturday was boring as we were waiting for Tropical Storm Ike to come through & didn't want to leave the house really.

Hi Gold's...well last night I accidently erased all of my inbox and said "the heck with it" maybe it was a sign to move on !

That's really nice of you to help them out like that. I'm sure they thoroughly appreciate your help. Four kids I'm sure is hard to manager especially with her hubby so sick!! Kudos to you!!

What a busy weekend.I actually did get some sleep.My husband lets me sleep in a little on the weekend.I get insomnia and drag pretty much all week.Our neighbors kept waking us up too this weekend.I'm tired of 3am wake up calls.So, the weekends mean I get to sleep in a litle bit and errands mostly.It was busy and hectic.My grandpa from Colorado just left this morning.We only get to see him about once a year.
