which means I worked my ass off and I am tired as hell. It was really warm today and very nice. I had to go to the Post Office on my lunch hour because they were holding my mail hostage because I was delinquent in emptying my box. It gets full super fast because of all the college catalogs and crap for Michael. Every college in America is recruiting him. One of the things in there was notification that he has been nominated for the "Leaders of Tomorrow" scholarship program. It is kind of a fun one because you get your picture taken and then they are displayed in the schools in the mall and at the county fair over the summer. Only three of the area nominees actually get scholarships, but it's nice to have everyone in town see how wonderful your child is! Emily was nominated for that one too, but didn't win the scholarship. After I got the mail I sat in my car with the windows open and enjoyed my lunch and it was SO WONDERFUL.
It was so nice we cooked out for dinner. Katie and I had hotdogs and Michael had a veggie burger. I made a nice broccoli salad and it was so yummy and summery and felt good. Of course the temperature is supposed to drop thirty degrees overnight so tomorrow I will probably be miserable and have a sinus headache.
Dad is still in hospital.
I still don't know the new baby's name.
Katie is back here and seems more stable tonight.
Lu took a shower and it made her blood pressure drop too much so it was a rough day and they had to correct some of her electrolyte levels and all that, but did manage some walking later.
I made kick-ass cookies last night and sent some to Kerri because she had to apologize to customer for my screw up. She sent me an email I decided to add to my flyer, "You should open a bakery and bake more damn good chocolate chip cookies!" So I told her my secret mission and about my classes right now. She and Gillian and Mercedes, the reporter who is writing an article about it, are the only ones at work who know. Oh, one more, April, who also bakes and printed up the flyers on the color printer.
So anyway positive thoughts toward the weather. Maybe it won't be as bad as predicted and the pressure won't be too hard on my head.

We had a couple summery days like that last week. Yesterday it snowed 6 inches and today was bitterly cold. I'm more than a little pissed about that.
I don't know the babies name yet either. I'm not sure that Sarah and Jake do either.
