****Monday Roll Call****
Monday Monday.. something about that day makes me want to stay in bed. I DID NOT want to get out of bed today either. But, I did. Siehara washed her hair last night after being in the pool at the birthday party, so she wanted me to straighten it this morning so she could show it off to her friends at school. Spent 1/2 hour doing that. It looks cute, not as good as at the salon, but still pretty cute.
Today has me working 7-3:30. Then, off to Siehara's Girls on the Run coach's house for an end of the season party. Depending on what time we get out of there, I may go to spin class. If it's too late, then I'll just go to the gym to do some other cardio and strength training.
Trish--glad you had a great time with the munchkin.
Jo--it's always such a let down to have to go back to work after being out on maternity. Try not to feel guilty. Jantzen will be ok. Deep down, I know you know that since you have done the same thing with your other kids. It'll get easier.

Good Morning PA!!! I still have yet to experience what it is like to leave a child of mine behind..I am honestly dreading that day also Liz...and of course babies are in the future for me. I am going to be 30 years old in September and one of my goals was to have at least one child before I hit that age...well as it turns out that is not going to happen for me..
Sorry I Love it when people talk about their progress of pregnancy and their children..however at times it makes me depressed...because having a family of my own has always been a dream of mine. I have a great hubby who is 35 years old and has no children either..and we have been waiting for that moment that I become pregnant and have one of our own..until then..my sister just had a baby in Jan. and I have been spoiling my niece..she is such a cutie. One day my dream will come true..right now my other dream is coming true first...the moment I have been waiting for that I can feel better about my body and my life and be able to be out in public and maybe get a job and keep it for once!!
Monday...morning already! Wow....9 more days til my surgery...3 pounds to lose...drinking lots of water today..and I have been...my hubby says babe your going to the bathroom alot...LOL..I am like well hunni...I have been drinking lots of water..I guess thats what happens...LOL. I as for what I am doing today...uumm I really do not plan my days out at all..it comes and goes...I do whatever I choose to do that day...I think me and hubby are going to go to the DMV to find out where the title to my car is...since December of 2008 when I transfered the title over to my name and all of that...well I still have received my title in the mail yet..ODD..and here it is 6 months later...I did do a search for it online and NYS said it was issued in february..and it would take ten weeks to be mailed...well I think it has been long enough...and I still have not received it. So I am going to go to the DMV and find out where the heck it is. I took my morning meds..ooh and I found out while at my PATs appt that my thyroid is inactive..so I am taking a med for that and my others. After I drink 20 oz of water I will have my protein shake this morning and then off to do my errand. Then me and hubby on our way home will prolly stop at the park and walk around the track a bit.

Yea...it's Monday :(
We had a great day yesterday...we DID end up going to Seaside and as always, it was a lot of fun. For whatever reason I am retaining water or something and the scale is up for the first time in a long time...so water and watching the intake it will be!
I have a bunch of stuff to do today before heading to work. First I need to clean out the fridge of older food and stuff like that. Then it will be off to the food store and to replace said food, LOL I also have a package of chicken breasts that need to be cooked up for meals this week.
Once home and all that stuff is done I need to double check my "uniform status" and make sure I have a clean uniform for tonight. If not...I need to get a load of laundry in for that.
I'm also hoping to get a quick nap in - although I did sleep in today till about 8:20 so that might not happen.
I haven't been on my rollerblades in a few days so maybe I'll try to squeeze that in as well. It's QUITE humid here today....

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
I go all the time....I keep meats and stuff like that in the freezer but then end up going for yogurts (10 for 10 at giant this week, btw) and other pershible stuff like that. And I'm not real organized when it comes to planning meals...for example...I have the chicken breasts and I have a huge head of romaine lettuce cut up...so I want to do chicken caesar salads this week. Do I have caesar dressing? of course not! So that's on the list.
Brian thinks I was born in the "wrong era" because "back in the day" they used to go shopping each day due to the lack of refrigeration and what not and he says that's what I do anyway, LOL
Normally it's just for a few items...but this trip is also one of my bigger ones...cases of water/kitty litter/dishwasher detergent....etc etc etc Oh - I also never went over the weekend like I kept saying I was going to :)

Hi everyone! Another huge moment for me today! I got on the scale today as I do every Monday and Thursday - and guess what.....I HIT 50 POUNDS as of this morning!!!! I am beyond excited! I ran around the office at school telling EVERYONE!!!! This has been an amazing transformation so far! I can't believe that I was so depressed last week with the sugar withdrawal and today I am floating above the skies!
Anyway....Today has me going to the Spirit of Philadelphia with my 8th graders on their graduation trip -they all look so beautiful! (yup - I am sitting with them as we speak!) After school I am finally going to the market - seems as though those other people who live in my house want to be fed...not only everyday...but three times a day....They are just soooo annoying! LOL!!!! :)
After I drop all the groceries off, I will then get back to the pool for at least one water aerobics class - gotta do something with all this new found energy!
I hope you can all read the loud and obnoxious way that I have written this! :)
Have a great Monday all! :)

Good Monday everyone. Today is already gone and it just started. I'm going to be heading out soon to spend some time with my mom. She recently got released from the hospital after we almost lost her a couple of weeks ago. She's elderly and in very poor health. My sister couldn't get a hold of her on the phone on her way to work and called 911. When they got there they found her almost unconscious and the medic told us that if they would've arrived two minutes later she wouldn't have survived. Scary stuff, but we also know it's just a matter of time. She has emphyzema and still smokes two packs a day. She's old and stubborn, you can't change her. Apparently her CO2 level was 7.89 and normal is 3.0 or below (?). Something to do with carbon monoxide and oxygen, still not sure.
Anyway, tonight is our opening game of our little league playoffs. I coach my 9 year old son's team and at the end of the regular season we have a tournament to determine the league champ. The outcome is not important, though. I was lucky enough to coach a great group of young men - not one troubled child in the bunch. They give me 100% every game and deserve to win this thing. I'll miss them when the season is over.

Good Morning All!
I'm at work today, then hoping to go shopping for drapes for the livingroom later (the old ones have reached the end of their usable lives, we just painted, and it's time.) It's a chore I really HATE doing. Ah well.
Realized I need to call an exterminator - oh joy. About 11 pm last night 2 of my cats (who never get on the kitchen counters) were sitting on the counter "pointing" up at the cornice above the cabinets. I could hear something scurrying around up there. Just great. Also found "signs of mouse" in the top area of the pantry closet, up where the cats can't patrol. This should be fun.
We've gotten just about all the planting and re-seeding done. Feels late for it, but the weather just hasn't been on track this year. Spent almost all of yesterday outside digging, lugging, etc. Am wonderfully sore today, but the flowers are looking awesome!
AND... we saw "UP!" last night in 3D. What a wonderful movie! It's really more of a message movie for adults than a kids' movie. Beautiful animation and graphics, great story and voice work, truly funny in many places and really sad in others. I give this one 2 thumbs up! And the 3D is nicely done - not cheesy!
Otherwise, food shopping after work (PAM - I'm in your boat - disorganized enough to do it almost every day and almost always forget the thing that I went for... haha), then looking for those darned drapes. Sigh.

Hi everyone.....
Busy day at work today after being out sick almost all of last week. I'm feeling pretty good though and I'm getting a lot done today.
A little shopping for me this afternoon. Need to hit the grocery store for some essentials and non-essentials....namely ANT TRAPS. Every year about this time, the little buggers get into my apartment....ughhh
I've also vowed to take a least a short walk this evening. I need to get moving so that it isn't such a shock to my system after surgery.
Have a great day everyone !
