Diane hasn't written a snapshot yet.

Currently on my Life Wish List:

Learn to play violin
Get nice furniture
Buy a trampoline!
Live in the country
Create a wonderful garden
Lots of beach vacations
Goals I am working on:

Start daily walking and stretching again
Worry less
Be calm
Plan some travel/getaway time into our lives
Get out in the garden every day, even if I only get a tiny bit of yard work done it will all add up. Right...?
Projects I am working on:

Never-ending list of house repairs
Animal rescue volunteer work. I usually foster just one dog at a time now that I have a toddler. I also maintain the rescue group's master list of foster animals. It's my job to try and keep track of all our critters. It gets very confusing!
Backyard birding. I've become interested in learning about birds and learning to identify the bird species in my backyard. I've id'd about 25 species so far. My husband calls me The Bird Nerd. Right now I am focusing on building a nesting box for Carolina Wrens. See? Nerdy, huh?
Never seem to make progress on this goal--time! time! Never enough!

Hi Daine- My grandma was a great gardener, but I never really got the hang of it until I moved from Florida to North Carolina. I always thought I had a black thumb- until now ;) Have a great weeked!!

Thank you so much for the tips and the nice welcome. I fixed the link problem. Oh, and thank you for telling about the frugal mom group. I am on my way there now.

Hello Diane! I wanted to thank you for our very first welcome to Work It, Mom! And a very nice warm welcome it was. Thanks for your kinds words about our site, VickyandJen.com. I see that you do animal rescue work - awesome! We need more people like you :-) We just rescued a beagle/retriever mix from the shelter two days ago. My son (6 yrs) old has been saving $ for a year to buy a friend for our 12 year old beagle. He said it was the greatest day ever and that our new pup makes his heart cry! How expressive (and sweet) is that? It makes the puddles in the house worth it! Very nice to meet you and thanks again for checking out our site and saying hello! Vicky

Hey there! This is such a cool site!!! I've been looking for a place lke this for a LONG time! So I see you foster and have a toddler - you go girl! I used to foster but somethings had to "give" and unfortunatley that was one of them. I planned to foster again, however, there are some ridiculous legal issues here in my state that prevent that!

Nice to meet you!

Hi Diane. Thanks for getting in touch. I am fairly new at Tai Chi and I do take it at a studio with a teacher. I would probably recommend doing it this way because if you are not doing the stretches and poses correctly, you could hurt yourself. Keep up the good work with the dog rescue. It is a very admirable accomplishment.
Regards, LeMarais

Thanks for the welcome, Diane. I'm having a good time so far on the site. Please stop by and take a look at Savvy Source. Hopefully you'll find something there to help you with your preschool search.

Best,
Ashley

Thanks for the welcome and the kind words. It's been a tough week. On top of everything my husband is gone this week so it's just me and them - or me against them as it seems most of the time. It'll get better, it always does. Thanks for the suggestions of some groups to join. I will check them out!
