6b. No contract. She is private - at home daycare but has worked in a public daycare before. She know's the rules the private have in place and is going to go over them and use what suits her needs. I agree that there should be some point when she says "no" but think that it's over the top to say no to a runny nose. She really hates to send the kids away. I know that should not be the case but it is. I really...really like her and so does Sam. I guess for me I am more pissed with the other mom's who don't consider their childrens sickness as well as the other kids they are making sick. For some reason I'm more mad with them then her, and I chalk it up to the fact that I like her so much. 5a. OK, so Sam is with his Grandma today and I just called to check on him. Apparently he just ate breakfast? Pardon? Yes he had another hot oatmeal, yogourt, and toast. What a porker!!

5b. Spitfire, anytime Kota's been sick and taking meds, especially when we have to up her asthma meds she gets like that with eating. I try to stock up on more fruits and veggies during that time so at least we can make sure she's eating healthy, cuz I know she'll be eating constantly for a few days.

1. I scheduled a conference call for next week. 2. Got a reply from 1 person asking me to reschedule. 3. Hello!! You are not the only person scheduled for the call and I'm not changing it just for you. 4. So you can either attend or not. 5. At our next quarterly mtg we'll be dressing in aubergine. 6. No I didn't suggest the color lol. 7. I love the team I'm on right now cause we really are a 'team'. 8. Of course we're also referred to as a mob, lol.

1. This morning I got up at 6am and I'm just realizing that I've been up over 18 hours now. 2. I don't feel sleepy...yet. 3. This morning, I spent 2 hours, once again, weeding out dd's stuff from her bedroom. I tell you, this is a much bigger project that I ever realized, but I know she'll appreciate her "memories" someday. Just like Spitfire said up there. 4. Did I mention that about half of her room is now emptied? I'm really getting excited about having the whole room emptied so I can begin to make is MINE!!...muahahahahahahaaaa!! 5. I did get into work around 10:30am and put in 8 hours straight with just a 20 minute lunch break and about 4 potty breaks...heh. 6. My MIL, who is still recovering from her recent hospitalization, gave me her/their tickets to see a musical called "The Rat Pack Live From Las Vegas" at a nearby Performing Arts Center. The show was tonight at 8pm, so I left from work to meet up with my sister whom I invited to use the other ticket. 7. CocoMan couldn't join me due to a night soccer game supervision at his high school. Guess what?...my sister did not show up to the theater....she actually stood me up, the brat! 8. Not knowing what happened to my sister was a bit daunting. I had my cell on but she hadn't called by the time I heard the chimes and I knew that I had to go in and find my seat and turn my cell phone off. OMG! I was 2 rows from the center stage!! 9. Some comic guy came on to warm up the audience and spotted me right away. Why? you ask. Well, there were 3 empty seats to the right of me and 4 empty seats to the left of me and I was sitting there in the middle of these empty seats like a princess. All the other seats in the front row and the rows behind me, plus the occupied seats beyond the empty seats were filled with tons of people. So I played along with this guy's antics and I was good for a few big laughs from the audience. 10. The musical was fantastic! Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin from 1963 at The Sands in Las Vegas. I got home about 2 hours ago and I guess I'm still wound up from all the great numbers they sang with a live band. And oh!, during intermission while I was getting a drink, people came up to me and asked if I was part of the show...LOL!

1. Welcome to both Alwayzmovin and Mayajnn. The factoids are a fun bunch. Watch out for the schticklers. 2. I really wish spring would get her to. I really don't like winter much. 3. I am sooooo bored here at work. Most people know it but I don't say much of course. They basically pay me 7.5 hours a day for about 45 min worth of work. It's pathetic really. 4. I am now officially (by the calender) half way through this pregnancy. 20 weeks and counting. So far it has gone by fairly quickly. 5. I'm hoping to get my hair trimmed tonight.

1. Glad you joined us Alwayzmovin and Mayajnn!! 2. Coco, what ever happened with your sister? 3. We haven't even looked at our taxes yet. 4. My nephew found out yesterday that he was accepted into the flight program that he applied to in New Mexico. He is ecstatic. I am so happy for him, this is a dream come true for him. 5. He had to wait a week to find out if he made it and some of the other people found out on Monday so he was really beginning to think that he didn't make it. Man, I am so excited for him. Now it is rush rush rush because he has to be down there by the middle of April. 6. Well, I'm off to get on my treadmill!

1. Welcome Mayajnn! And welcome back Alwayzmovin!! You two are doing the numbering system correctly. I just know that you made the Factoid schtickler smile. 2. Jewels, my sister did leave me a voice message on my cell phone but I didn't get it until I came out at intermission and turned my cell phone back on. She was needed by her family and they do come before me and the theater...lol. But gosh, she missed a great show! I love live theater and musicals!! 3. It's a bit after 9am and I really should be getting dressed for the office/work. 4. It's funny how we all have our dressing routine down to the minute and sense when we are into the "yikes!, I'm going to be late" time zone...hee-hee! 5. My other sister (I've got 4 of 'em), emailed me last night and she's participating in the American Cancer Walk For Life Relay at her local high school sometime in April. She was soliciting for donations and so I'll send her a Valentines' card with my check. 6. She told me she decided to do this in honor of our only brother who is a cancer survivor. Man, she got me with the memories of that time in his life and my life as well. 7. Our brother is physically and mentally disabled and about 11-12 years ago, the doctors discovered he had testicular cancer which travelled up into his chest area and the cancer infilitrated his thorascic lymph system. I was his primary caretaker for that sentinel event in his life and I'm happy to report that he's living a normal, happy life today! Wow, I'm wording again this morning, aren't I??? LOL!

1. Had a cold for the last few days however, I think I licked it yesterday! Yay! 2. Started teaching the Child Development portion of the course I teach this week. 3. Went and did my first weekly visit for one of my students for her placement today. 4. Yesterday I felt better so I went and worked out in the pool at my weekly Aquafit class. 5. I am working on a Suduko puzzle as I am doing this which is now one of my favourite newspaper puzzles to do other than crossword puzzles. I am always multi-tasking. 6. Am about to watch ER. 7. Wrote an update earlier for my blog. 8. Will go to bed soon as I am tired. The Olympics start tomorrow so I do not want to be exhausted then and I think I have Saturday off so I can lounge all day and watch them then too!!!!!!!!

1. Dakota hurt herself today. 2. She was sitting down at the table with her plate (spaghetti) and somehow it slipped off the plate and onto her hand and arm. I scooped her up and took her to the sink to run her arm under cold water while Darren got the burn spray. She's got a red mark and blister on the inside of her wrist and a small blister on her thumb, but never uttered a single complaint. 3. She was a little preoccupied with her crush though. Caleb has a neighborhood friend his age that Dakota thinks is just the greatest thing ever. He's the youngest out of four kids and all three of his sibs are sisters. He's never treated Dakota like a nuisance (he taught her how to play basketball) and he always has some time for her. I think that's one of the things she likes, unlike most the older neighbor kids, he has no problem playing with her. 4. She even made him a Valentine's Day card. Caleb on the other hand thinks that Valentine's day is silly and wanted to know if he can just skip the class party and passing out cards, lol. 5. My oldest niece is participating in a fund raiser for school, jump rope for heart (or something like that.) She's raised a ton of money so far and is really excited about it. Mine and sis' step dad died of heart disease and while niece isn't sure what research really means, she knows the money goes to help someone study it and try to find ways to better prevent it. 6. Darren has his first day of working 8 hours tomorrow after 2 weeks. He's working Saturday and thinks it might be a double shift, and then all next week at 12 hour days, but says he'll take the following Saturday off. 7. He had his yearly review today. Not only was it very positive and he'll be getting a decent yearly raise, but his boss is putting in for him to get a good employee (or whatever they call it) raise. Boss said that he was one of the employees who worked his butt off for the company with no complaints. 8. He'd (boss) told me the same thing last week when we went out to dinner...if they asked for people to work OT they'd have ones who'd flat out say no, some who'd do it but gripe about it, and guys who would work it without complaint and throwing themselves into the task at hand. He said Darren was in the last group. Seeing how hard he works, I definitely think he deserves it! 9. Jewels, congratulations to your nephew! How very exciting for him and I know you must be very proud of him!

1. i'm starting to feel like jewels, always ending up with 10 facts and all. jewels, where are you? 2. me and my 2 friends fly out one month from today for florida, for our cruise to the bahamas! 3. i can't believe the time has gone so quickly...we booked in august! 4. i think i have pretty much everything planned. i called the vet this week to board lola. i am hoping my mom will change her mind and watch her for the week, but i can't really blame her since she just put in new carpeting and flooring...and lola has a mind of her own on where she wants to potty. sigh. 5. but last week when she had her overnight, she did well and didn't potty on her new flooring, so i'm hoping she takes that in consideration. 6. there is a big difference in overnight and 7 overnights, though. 7. i hate mushrooms. i've been eating these lean gourmet meals, and one of my favorite kinds has mushrooms in them, so i have to pick them out. to me they taste like what i think dirty socks would taste like...the smell of them cooking always reminded me of that! 8. i had to order 3 more dvd selecitons from columbia house in order to finish my commitment with them...i got a package in the mail on thursday...with 3 dvds...all 3 were wrong! unbelievable....so i had to call them and send them back and they have to be re-shipped. what a pain in the ass. 9. i ordered a bathing suit online from overstock.com...boy what mistake. i'll never ever buy a bathing suit without being able to try it on again...needless to say, i had to send it back! ack! 10. tonight i'm going out with my friends that i'm going on the cruise with...there is a local band that does 80's covers that we like a lot. they are playing tonight...should be fun! happy saturday factoiders...and welcome to all the new factoiders!

1. Can you beat that it snowed on the beach the other day? Did not stick on the ground, but it kept coming down for quite awhile. 2. Our trip to Las Vegas was very busy. Took me forever to get rested up when we came home. We placed at least 35 orders and some of them have already started coming in. WHile waiting for the shuttle bus, we were talking to 2 ladies. One of them was from Myrtle Beach and she had been in our store before. Small world!

1. Dakota gave several school friends (judging by how often the phones been ringing off the hook all weekend, I'm thinking half the class) our phone number. I don't mind her getting calls but dang, she's been on the phone non stop, lol. 2. She's waiting on a boy to call her now. He told her yesterday he'd call at 1, he's 20 minutes late. 3. Darren went out fishing this morning. They caught 15 fish and gave them to some guys in the parking lot who didn't do well. 4. It's 70 degrees outside today. It's been a beautiful weekend! Kids have spent most of it outside playing and I've had the windows and doors open since Thursday or so. I love it!

1. I had a great weekend! 2. DH worked overtime both days and Sam and I just hung out. 3. Sometimes I get antsy and have to do things but this weekend was nice and relaxing! 4. Yesterday we took Sam for a sleigh ride and then DH played outside with him while I prepared dinner. 5. When I'm at work all I can think about is what type of food I wish I could be eating. It sucks! At home food is the furthest from my mind. Anyone up for a steak and baked potato?

1. WHOO HOO! I just found that I was cited in someone else's dissertation. 2. This is amazing because I don't have that many publications in press. I think two. 3. It is cold in my office and I am stuck here because I have a late rehearsal. 4. My watch stopped. I am hoping that is it just the battery. 5. I thought that I would have had my application to "big music school" ready to mail today, but I am stuck in writing the application letter. The vita is done, and the references are checked. SIGH. These things always take longer than you think! 6. I am getting excited about going to Chicago on Wednesday! I'm going to see "Wicked"! WHOO HOO again!
