Tuesday

Boy, what a day! We had snow again - thankfully just a little bit, but still! I understand we are supposed to get more overnight. I watched part of the president's broadcast, but then needed to go into the other room with Caleb to make sure he got his homework done. I enjoy listening to Obama speak. Even though I don't always agree 100% with the things he says (like the Special Olympics jab :)!), I am so happy that we have a president that the general public can actually relate to. Plus, I think we will see that his snafoo about people with disabilities will help in the long run - I can guarantee there will be some nice funding coming down for special olympics. For those of you who haven't seen it yet, you should check out the press release by special olympics - they call for the hiring of a special olympian to be employed at the White House. How neat would that be!?!

Work was pretty good today. Even though I didn't get through my list, I feel that I made some progress on things. After some discussion, we decided to drop the one grant I was developing. Make sense, but it happened to be the one that was more interesting to me. However, like I said, it was a good decision. So, it will free up some time for me to focus my efforts on some autism funding coming down. Oh, and we received some great news that a grant that wasn't funded last year should be receiving some funding after all thanks to the stimulus funds. Yeah, that should help my average a bit from last year. My ratio of funded proposals vs. proposals developed was pretty sad for '08 :(.

Caleb and I are getting ready to wash his hair. His arm will be bandaged until Monday when he is supposed to get the stitches out. Since it is his right hand, he has a hard time washing his hair in the shower. Ok, those of you who know Caleb know he always has a problem washing his hair :). Then we get to change the bandages. yuck!

Positives for today:

1. cloudy day - I was in the mood for it
2. girl scout cookies - thanks Kelly!
3. Caleb's friend, Jordan, calling me mom. Usually annoys me, but today it was kinda sweet.

Healthy Living Update - nothing good to report at all. Sorry, but even the guilt of having to report that on my blog didn't make me get my tushy out of bed this morning. Tonight, there was too easy of an excuse for not taking a walk - rain. Have to start getting more motivated!
