Thursday Roll Call

Good morning boys and girls of IL. Rise and shine and face the wonderful new day.  Sorry to be so cheerie all the time; that is just my nature. It is a rare day that I am cranky and in a foul mood. I am a morning person.  I know that is a stretch for some they would rather than be cheerie before they are up for at least 2-3 hours. What ya got cookn' today  Not much for me other than finishing off some work I started at the PD before I went to a meeting yesterday. Dave and I have one errand to do after I get off at 3. Hopefully the snow will not be too bad. My area is only supposed to get one to two inches. Well, come on in after you are not  and say (I love those smileys!) Take care one and all. I will try to stop back in later today and catch up on everyone else.  & Christine

Good Morning, I am up. dressed. ready for the day. I still haven't had breakfast yet, can't decide between a protein shake or hot cereal.  Then, its off for wor****il 3, Hope everyone stays warm and dry on thier  ad ventures today. Hugs   

Good morning everyone!! Went and worked out this morning and now Im eating toast with peanut butter! Getting ready to go to work. I got my authors copies of my book yesterday so now I need to do some marketing!!

Good morning, I am up that is all about I can say for today. Staying in pj's and taking pain medicine, I just had surgery on Monday so still very sore. Which makes me just sleep and chill out on the couch (more comfortable to sleep on than the bed) Other than that nothing else going on.  Thanks Erin

Erin! Hello congratulations on your surgery! Welcome to the board come check in with us when you have a chance! I hope you have a speedy recovery! Blessings Jenn

Good morning Christine and the rest of my Illinois friends! Working today, as usual.  I have to go to Kohl's at lunch to return one thing and get another thing that I didn't get the other day.  After work, I may have to visit the DMV to get the Boy Scout's trailer sticker. Our meeting with the school concerning David went about the way I expected.......he has a high IQ, so they see no need for special ed.  That is OK though.....I have brought it to their attention that he learns in a different way and that he IS trying, not just "lazy" as they like to call him. We got great news last night for Olivia!!!  She entered a poem in a contest through school and was selected to be published in a real book!!!!  She is very excited and we are very proud of her.  At first, I thought it was just some gimmick to sell books, but it looks like it is for real and a bit of an honor.  Her grandmother wants to buy a ton of them, which is how her grandma shows affection and pride. My boys are going camping this weekend with the Scouts.  NOT ME!!!!  They will be in a cabin with heat, so I am glad about that, but Olivia and I are planning warm, indoor activities. That's about it for me for now, everyone have a lovely day!

Hey Dawn, when I was a child I was also called lazy.  It turned out I had a high IQ as well.  I have later in life read a few studies that say children with high IQ's have a hard time paying attention in school because they aren't being challenged to what they really need.  You might want to talk to his teachers and see if there is a more challenging way to teach your son so that he is more engaged.

HEY  - didn't your picture this morning say - Mokenna???  Now it says Oakbrook. Quit screwing with an old lady Chris

Chris, I am not screwing with ya, temp change.  That is all I can say at the moment.

 IL, I am up drinking my protein and watching the news, that all so far, today I a watching my youngest grandson this afternoon He just turned 1 in Dec. so he will be a hand full, Christine you are always up and ready early everyday, hope you dont get too much snow, so far here we have none,   Amanda   on you new    good luck with you sales with it, Lisa have a good day at work today, Erin have a good day and get some rest and sip sip tha****er and walk as much as you can, Hope everyone has a great day and stay warm,
