Thanks Taps! Yeah, I'm a wee bit petrified, too.

thanks bel. I'm being careful to structure my time, disciplined about
going to bed, etc.
It's going to work! Of course, if my current company doesn't cooperate with things, I might stroke out, but otherwise this temporary slave labor should work!

passionflower, no wonder we poor 9-5+++ working sods look forward to the
weekend, eh?
(Rather, make that 8A-7P or later!!)

JanesOpinion, Sounds like you had a wonderful day off. Congradulations on the new job. Boy, after so many years of adults and geriatrics for me, I would be afraid to do anything at all to a baby besides change their diaper. LOL

Make sure you do manage to get SOME rest in there. You can't do anyone else any good if you are wore out.

A 9 to 5 job does make you appreciate the weekends...
Sounds like you had a great one.

Blanche, you have gone above and beyond, and made a whole NEW
creation! It sounds really, really good. And I shall try THAT recipe next time I buy orange juice. Hmmmm, I think I may actually have some in the freezer.
At the very least it's refreshing, eh?

JanesOpinion, I tried a variation of your wine cooler, since I was in the
kitchen cleaning and experimenting, I put in ice and a pitcher of orange juice and made an orange slushy, then added a touch of wine to make something like an orange/wine slushy, or sangria. It tastes pretty good, actually.

Whacky, I cannot tell you how TICKLED I am
to not be commuting so far. (Not to mention a variety of other reasons that I'm tickled!)
Thanks for stopping in.
PS -- I just finished another of my wine coolers. So very, well, cooling!

Offbeats, my dear, lack of time is the mother of good time management.
Ha! Don't be fooled. I've certainly NOT gotten a whole lot accomplished today!!
Enjoy your new wine cooler.

That sounds wonderful...a new job and time to enjoy wine coolers!
Now how did you get so much done on Sat and all I got finished was my laundry? You must have a lot of energy woman~

JanesOpinion, I have an Australian Shiraz that I'll have to try the wine
cooler idea with . Anyting with ice appeals to me right now. Congrats on the new job, it must be heavenly not to have to commute. I'd hate having to do that daily, it's so stressful and exhausting. Good luck with the courework. I'm working on mine, a few more seminars to go, and I'll have a certificate as a peer counselor and can facilitate the Wellness course. I feel it's like a calling, to use my experience.
I hope you'll still have time to blog soon.

Thanks Justi!
You know, a twist of lemon or lime is a great idea! I shall give that a try, too!

Congratulations, I am happy for you. It won't take long to refresh and of course catch up on the newest and latest. You will love being with children. Be blessed. I'll try the wine cooler may with a twist of lemon or lime.
