Normalcy…Sort Of

***You will notice the houndstooth ribbon on the left side of my blog.  If you click it-you will go to a Google Documents page that I created.  This is a small list of places that I have found and people that I have talked to with ways to volunteer or donation items needed.  There are obviously many more places to volunteer and items needed. 

A full week at work.  It has been a while between the volunteering and clean-up since I have spent a full week at work.  It feels good and I hope today I can get a lot done. 
Before I get to the bulk of my post today I want to say that Tuscaloosa City Schools (TCS) has had a donation site open for schools supplies.  Early on this was a great need to get the school system back up and running with 2 schools that had been heavily damaged.  They are on the home stretch to having students out for the summer but are trying to get summer reading kits put together.  If you can volunteer for any shift between now and next Wednesday they will take the help! You can see the sign-up sheet here:

Ok! On to the Normalcy...
Starting Tuesday I will start weighing in again.  It's been tough to care about something as silly as a diet with everything going on but it is a good thing to get back into routines!  The tough part is that I no longer have a gym (it was in the shopping center next to Hobby Lobby) so I will have to get creative!  I remember after the flood that going back to school (even though we were in airport hangers) was nice -and I can't even imagine how our parents felt! HA!

Due to the tornadoes I didn't get to share with you pictures and a recap of our hiking/camping trip.  I will try to get that done this weekend-because I am about to start another round of getting some of my list knocked out!  As a State Employee we have Memorial Day as a holiday that is the last Monday of this month.  We also have June 6th as a holiday for Jefferson Davis' Birthday.  I am going to take 4 days off work and spend 7 whole days at the beach!  I can't wait!  I promised Mom that between the sunbathing sessions and my morning runs I would do some painting but it is TOTALLY worth it!
