****TGIF Roll Call*****
Greetings Everyone,
What an exhausting week this has been. I have been so blessed with colleagues driving me to and from work, family that has pitched in to help schlep me places, and students that are sweeter than one could imagine. Not to mention my upper body work with the crutches.
Friday has me heading to work, and hoping to get all the papers and tests graded by the time I leave there. Then, I hope to meet with my group therapist if he has any openings in his schedule and then to an AA meeting. All that is conditional on my exhaustion level.
I hope everyone has a terrific day. Oh, and it is payday for me.
Huggles,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

I always seem to be up in the middle of the night posting in the roll call, way before my day even starts lol.
This week has been crazy for me. It's been quite the waiting game thanks to waiting for insurance approval. I'm told I could hear something today or early next week. I've become obsessed with it! Yesterday was a good day though.
My Friday will consist of a plumber visit finally. I cancelled the last one because I was sick. Something's wrong with the toilet, who knows what, so I'm hoping I have a toilet later on today.
Hopefully my Friday will also consist of a nap. I am more tired and awake when I don't want to be more than without this stinkin' cpap machine. I'll get used to it though...that's what I keep telling myself.
We'll see where the rest of the day takes me...depending on how long the plumber is here, if I still have a toilet later on in the day, etc. lol. I'm hoping it will be nice out again today. It was a bit gloomy at first yesterday, but cleared up and was just a bit windy.
Here's to a great Friday for everyone!

Morning Trish!
Well I must say I felt FANTASTIC all night at work, especially considering it was my first night back. But I have officially hit a wall of fatigue
Luckily only 2 hours left!
Anyway...I think today will be home and bed. The only other thing I will do is pack food to eat - but that's pretty easy as most of it is pre packaged. I'll only have to throw some lunch meat together and things like that.
Then it will be a nice hot shower and my nice bed.
I heard more rain today....which is fine by me when I'm sleeping :)
Have a GREAT day!

Hi all,
I have survived another week and am thankful. We never know what we have been spared from or protected from. I don't want to know.
Today is another volunteer day and our last dance class. This makes me sad but people have busy summers.
I need to prepare for support group tomorrow. I hope someone shows up. If not, well, there is always next time.

Good Morning Trish & PA!
I am in the dark as to what happened to you, since I have not been on the boards much lately, I guess I will have to go back some to read all about it and I hope whatever it is you mend up pretty quickly!
So here I am, all happy in the knowledge that I can get back to the life I had, only better and now I can hopefully get back in touch with what is happening in all your lives, I have missed the interaction of my WLS buddies and for those I have not had the pleasure of meeting yet, hi, I look forward to getting to know you better and for those I know and have missed major events in your lives, I am back and hope to stick around and catch up.
Today I need to do a few different things, some of which involves running around, I also need to begin the task of shopping for clothing for my new job, as they want business attire, though they said business casual from post-Memorial Day through Labor Day, but I don't own much in size 12 that fits the criteria, so over the next week, now that I can, I will be shopping for my new wardrobe, that should be fun, as I've felt deprived the last couple of months, not being able to shop when I had the urge to, not that I am a shopaholic, but I do like the ability to buy something once in awhile and have not done so in almost 3 months.
Oh and I believe I am babysitting for my two grandchildren tonight.
Have a great day!

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

TGIF!! For real!!
It is 6:30 am and I am TIRED! Wish I could crawl back into bed, but nope.. gotta get the kid out the door and work from 7-3:30. Went to bingo last night and actually one $50 so that was cool!
Over lunch, I'll hit the gym and do cardio.
After work and school, Siehara has dance. Then, possibly the mall... not sure. We have Sisterhood Sabbath at synagogue tomorrow and I am reading from the Torah and doing part of the service so I need to practice the Torah reading and rest up. This will also be the day I get installed as the new president of sisterhood, so I should probably write a small speech. UGH. I'm NOT good at that part. But, I'll just write something short about how I have big shoes to fill since I am taking the place of my best friend who has been president for 4 years and has completely turned the Sisterhood around.
That's it for today.. hope everyone has a fantastic Friday!

Hi Everyone,
TGIF!! Although I have to work all weekend....but at least the mornings won't be crazy running around.
I am heading to the gym in a few minutes and then to BJ's afterward. I have to come home and clean up this house a little bit. I hope the weather holds out and it does not rain today.
I am going to Lake Galena with a friend tonight to go walking.
I have had a tough week with food this week. All of the sudden, nothing is appealing to me. I can barely eat two bites of anything. I know I am not getting in my protein. As soon as I eat, it goes right through me. I am sure this is temporary but it is truly annoying.
I hope you all have a great weekend. Liz, have fun tomorrow at your cooking day. I wish I could make it.

Good morning all! It seems that my 8th graders will live to see another day as I woke up with my period! YAY! This was a bad month for PMS! :( Aren't you all glad I shared that! :)
After doing some algebra with my students, I will go home tonight - and unfortunately, I think I may need to take the kids to the neighborhood carnival - why is it that we loved them as a kid and then hate them as adults? Then my hubby has night work tonight, so I will be home alone with the kids! Looks like another TV night for us! :)
Hope you all have a great day!

Good Morning everyone -
Just looking to get thru the day so that I can get home to start packing for vacation !!!
We leave early Wednesday morning to travel down to Charlotte for a week of NASCAR fun. I still have a lot to do to get ready to go. I have to work Monday and Tuesday, so I really need to have everything ready to roll on Sunday.
Have a great weekend all ! For those that are heading to Liz's for cooking fun, have a great time. Hopefully I can make it to one some time.
