tests

Life is full of them! The poor students at school have been tested a lot. Today they took their write test. I wasn't fortunate to be in the testing room but I heard that they all did pretty well. I hope so, they have been writing for weeks now. Plan, focus, write...over and over and over. Now they have a month before they take the math, reading and science test. Wheee!?

I forget that I have tests in my life as well. Tonights Weight Watchers meeting was one. I wasn't looking forward to weigh in as I hadn't really made the best food choices this week. Sure, I was in my points but I should have had more fruits and veggies. Also I needed to drink a lot more fluids that I have. I sometimes forget to drink things..weird I know. Turns out that I still had a loss which makes my fretting seem silly. Wasn't much but I'll take it!

Another test I'm (we're) facing is patience. Jerry's mom is still in the nursing home and lately it seems like she isn't doing so well. It seems to me that she isn't as independent as she was a month ago and that she just seems sickly. I hope it's just cabin fever. Jerry and I are taking her out this upcoming Saturday for some shopping and lunch. She's been craving shrimp so we are taking her to our favorite seafood spot. I hope that cheers her up.

I've always been a good tester. I hardly ever panic during the tests. I'm the kind of person that panics after waiting for the results. Waiting is not one of my strong points. Maybe that's just another test...

BSG Comes to an end?!

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
