I thought it would be neat.......
If we all posted our highs and lows for the week! I guess I will start..lol 
HIGHS: We are going up North to visit family and it just so happens my aunt will be in town from Chicago the same days we are there...YEAH
LOWS: I sprained my knee about 3 weeks ago and it isn't getting better! I am scheduled for physical therapy. And to top it off my husband threw his back out and until yesterday was unable to move much either...poor kids haven't had the most active parents lately...LOL
Highs: I am down 9 pounds since I began my walking program (4 weeks ago)
Lows: I am only down 9 pounds--just kidding, though it is frustrating that the number isn't going down quicker when I am walking 3 miles a day.
OK--lows. Usually around now I am planning for our annual cruise in October. I spend months planning every excursion, buying the entire family new clothes, etc. This year we are skipping the vacation so we can pay off all our debt. I really miss all that planning that leads up to the excitement of a vacation. I told hubby today he needed to give me something to plan for because I am feeling strange not having it.
I am going to homeschool my children next year so I guess I can start planning/preparing for that.

High...my daugher won her division of her grade in the science fair today (4th grade). What a huge huge high, this is a child who is really struggling with self esteem, now she is instantly smart and her classmates are beign nice!
Low...i got beat really really badly in tennis last night...hmmm we had margartias after, so maybe not so low..LOL Actually it has just been a good week for me!
What a fun idea, Stori!
Highs: Ds #2 is being allowed to play baseball instead of t-ball even though he misses the cut-off for age (by two lousy days-LOL). That may not sound like much, but ds #1 is playing on the same team, so for me that means one set of practices and one weekly game to travel to-hooray!!!!!!!!!
Lows-As of right now, my niece, due two days ago, hasn't arrived yet. Okay, so that is more of a low for her mother, but this auntie (who has no nieces and no nephews) really wants to meet her!!
Highs- bought a treadmill and have used it daily-
came into some money, not a lot a few thousand.
Lows - was up 1 lb at WW tonight after all my walking this week-- very bummed- but several people told me when you first build new muscle this happens.
Melissa, don't be discouraged. Whenever I don't work out for a while and then I do, I can guarantee the scale will show a 2 lb increase the very next day. Every time. Drives me nuts, but I now know to expect it. Keep going on that walking...good for you!!!!
Highs: Eating better; not dieting and cranky. Exercising everyday, and feeling all around healthier.
Lows: One year anniversary of my step father's death. Also, DD not feeling well this week.
Highs: My little girl got her first Valentine from a boy and was soooo excited.
Lows: Found out my insurance will not pay for any more very expensive treatments (IVIG transfusions) that are the only thing that help this autoimmune disease I have. Very bummed about that, because these treatments totally give me an almost reprieve from a lot of my symptoms....
High -- That my dog has gotten much better. We weren't sure she would for a few days.
And that my 11 yo DD was nominated for PACE(Program for Academic and Creative Extension - gifted and talented program) in language arts. She started the testing today and has to bring in three examples of her writing.
Low -- that we thought we might have to put Honey down and I'm getting sick of cold weather and wish it would be spring soon!
High - hmmmmm... struggling to find one this week....OK, I got to keep Madison overnight this past weekend.....
Low(s) - Just found out yesterday my mom's cancer is growing again.....
and work is really draining right now, we're busier than usual, just got a new phone system installed, got a new server installed and we've been having computer problems for days, at the worst possible time......
Low. Nichole has walking Pneumonia. I've been sick as a dog since last week...coughing so much my chest and throat are aching. My sinuses have been either running like a faucet or completely clogged and I've been running a fever.
High. She's on antibiotics and starting to improve. I think I'm on the mend too.
High : dh just might have this job he has been after, going for a test drive, tommorrow a.m so the guy can see how he drives. Pretty sure he will get it!! yippee
Low's stressed out over money, and the fact we have none, so my high is really really high.
Mrse, hope DH gets the job!
ok i guess i could try
high--my dd has been put in advanced spelling and my husband does NOT have to leave me for the desert!!
Low-- doctor still cant figure out whats wrong with me, since august i haven't had my period i gained excessive weight and i have terrible headaches and mood swings- not pregnant(even though we have been trying)
High: youngest dd is finally getting over pneumonia and I saw a bald eagle up close.
low: I got a rotten cold and so did oldest dd.
High: I get to go to my Moms Group today and get some mommy time!!!!
Low: I went to the doctor yesterday and she is sending me to yet another doctor for my sciatic pain. Will they ever find the cause of this and fix me????
High: hmmm, I lost 3 pounds. And the kids go to school today so i have 2 hours to myself this morning!
Low: my grandma's funeral was on Monday.
High(s): I was asked to be a guest speaker on Americanism and the Flag at dd's school next week.
The cookies I made for a function at ds's school got rave reviews by everyone who ate them and his teacher said that they were the best cookies she has ever eaten.
The lollipops I made for my ds's Valentines turned out perfect.
I am having a great week, in general, and I am not stressed out because I quit my job and my new job doesn't start until the first of March so I have a few weeks to do whatever I want to do.
Low: Ds fell down the stairs this morning and bit his tongue in two places and bruised his chin.
High: My dad got engaged last night.
Low: My dad (who has only been widowed for 14 months) got engaged last night.
Highs - Brendan had a great birthday party on Saturday and had a good birthday on Monday. I made a 92 for my A&P class final so my final grade was a 94 for the class. Started my mod 2 last night and it should be interesting, hard but interesting. DH have been getting along better here lately. Moving to another apartment soon.
Lows - my sister has been down about staying home all the time with her kids and is depressed. Potty training Brendan isn't going all that great

High: My house is clean, youngest DS has had good conduct marks this week, no Cub Scout meeting Thursday
Low: Oldest DS needs glasses
Texannie, I know how you feel!
Sue3, could you post some of your dds snowglobes, I have a very tiny collection.
You'll laugh at this, back in 90, dh and I went to Florida, he bought me the cutest angel minnie snowglobe. He had UPS ship and pack it home so we wouldn't break it on the flight home. It was broken when it got there Yes, it was insured but the thought.
High: Don't have one yet

High....My business is taking off, we have been so busy. DD is talking up a storm. Going skiing this weekend!!!!YIPPY

High: Seth just started eating solids last night!
Wow, that was a lot of highs....
Low: My MIL has been visiting us from Korea (she's been here 3 months and 3 more to go). She is an absolute nightmare and the most selfish person I have ever known.. doesn't care about her husband, her kids or even her grandbabies. Very demanding and constantly asking us to buy her things ... like a $1000 St. John suit....It's been a 3 month low and no near end in sight.
On top of it, my dh, has been on travel the last month and 2 more to go. Comes home only on the weekend.
High: Looking at my beautiful adoreable two boys every day. (gets me through this tough time). My one year started walking and climbing up and down the stairs and babbling... sooo sooo adoreable!
High: Found out I will be having a healthy baby girl.

High: I have a beautiful son and a wonderful husband.
Low: My husband is out of town for 2 1/2 weeks and I'm at home alone with my son with not enough time in the day to get anything done.
lows: Son leaving old school
highs: Son starting new school.
Fingers crossed.
Low: Stepsister's house burned down
High: My mother is recovering well from her surgery last week.
I also made a couple of meals for them while she was recovering and they loved both of them.
Meredith, please give your stepsister my sympathy. Our house just burned down in 2 months ago, and I know how devastating it is. Was anyone hurt?
High: Dh should be receiving another bonus check soon that should go a long way on paying for our sons adoption.
Low: we are still waiting for INS approval before we can go any farther in processing our dossier for adoption.
