***Tuesday Roll Call***
Good Morning!
I am here in jersey at work and had a very very nice night! I'm sure we'll "pay" for it tonight, though :P
I actually have a lot to do. On the way to my parents house I need to stop at CVS and pick up some photos and also some stuff to wrap my dads father's day gift, which I never did at home yesterday.
Then I'll go to their house...wrap the present...take a shower and head back out. I need to go to a store my uncle/aunt/cousins own and pick up a few special gifts for a friend who is leaving work and what not. While I am in THAT area I need to stop at a specialty grocery store that is in that area (it's about 30 mins from my parents house) and pick up some burgers for my grandmother that she had pre ordered and some pies for my mom.
After all that nonsense....I may be meeting a friend here from work for lunch. She now works day shift so I don't get to see her to much when I work. We're hoping she'll be able to take a "real" lunch break today and spend some time w/ me :)
Then it'll be home where hopefully dad will be up (he's working a weird shift so has been sleeping in) so I can give him said father's day gift.
I hope to be in "my" bed (at moms) by one ish.
Sheesh normally my trips to jersey are my get out of jail free cards when it comes to responsibility. I guess not today! But it's all fun stuff, so that's ok!

Good Morning Pam and All,
Pam, I am not sure how you do it...two jobs in two states, and little sleep. I have trouble with my two jobs, and some sleep.
Well, today has me heading to work to give a final to two of my classes and hang out with two of my classes. Then, I might be getting a doggy tonight. Not sure yet. Will keep you posted.
Other than that, nothing exciting.
Hugs,
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.

This is an unusual schedule for me, normally being at my parents house means I get LOTS of sleep cause I have no responsibilities there and can lounge in the spare room all day if I choose. Plus, this job I work "only" 8 hours (as opposed to the 12 hours I work at LVH) And really - even if I'm in bed as late as 2pm I still get at least 7 hours of sleep as I don't have to wake up until 9 or 9:30 tonight. Mom's house is a quick 10 min commute to work, again, as opposed to my 30+ min commute from my home in pa to LVH. When this was my full time job, I routinely stayed up till 1 or 2 and slept till 8 or 9. I get my best sleep during those hours!
Good luck with the doggy! Will it affect your allergies like the cat did?

Hi all!
Well back to reality. I had a great weekend in VA. Got lost in DC on the way there due to 495 being a parking loy. I don't miss sprawl and crawl. Anyway, got some great music and pics at the Celtic festival.
Today I start my new "job" at the library. Then it's picking up the bills, writing our letter to the creditors again. No fun.

Morning Pam and Pa..
I need a 2nd job..forgot what's it like to be a single mom and pay for everything. How do I find a 2nd job that provides babysitting??? I would actually like to take classes to do medical billing and find some way to do that from home. That would be ideal, but I definitely can't afford the classes right now and don't know if working from home doing that would be possible. I tried to do the transcription thing a few years ago, but literally got lost in translation. The medical terminology got the best of me. I think I was just not focused on it at the time. I have been wondering if I could find a PT job at a retail store as a cashier during the day while Siehara is not home and see if Aetna would work with me on my hours so I could work from home for them while Siehara is home. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try.
Anyway, today has me working 7-3:30 as usual. At lunch, I would like to take a walk outside, but that depends on the weather. If it is raining, I will probably do my walk away the pounds DVD inside or go over to the gym and get on the treadmill.
After work, I meet with Rocco for an intense leg workout. Then, I need to come home, feed the child and me, and head off to my first "official" synagogue board meeting as Sisterhood president. I've been to other meetings representing Sisterhood, but never as the president. Kinda makes me feel important..... kinda. LOL!
busy busy busy!

Good Morning All...........
I am pooped this morning. Last night was the first time I REALLY busted my butt exercising in a really long time. I was kinda "weaning" back into it. So I was sweating like a pig, and it felt good. But I am soooo tired today. LOL
Other than work, I must make dinner and try to pack/organize some things for this weekend. Johnny's brother is turning 50 and so the whole family is camping all weekend and there's a big party saturday at the campground. Taking an infant camping requires ALOT of crap to take! LOL. Luckily, this time we are staying in one of those cabins campgrounds have. Woo Hoo!
I am hoping to get a good exercise in tonight also. But we will see. I have ALOT to do!
have a great day!

Wow - everyone has exciting days today!!
I am at wor****il 4 - then I should stop at Lowe's to pick up part of my Dad's father's day gift and Borders - oh and the bank - then home to make dinner and relax. I didn't sleep well again last night and am paying for it this morning.

Good morning!!!
Today has me sitting at hubby's work waiting to head over to Chestnut Hill for an inservice--we share one car so it is easier to just wait here then drive back and then drive all the way back down when Chestnut Hill is literally 15 minutes away from hubby work,....so here I sit having my yogurt and breakfast before heading over!!
I am at the inservice till 1 pm and then will wait for hubby to get done and then head home to grab dinner, go over to community college to see about taking a course for Act 48 credit over the summer, get a parking permit for the hubby who is taking classes through Albright over there and then relax at home and read one of the books I checked out of the library yesterday.
Hope everyone has alovely day!!!!!
P.S. It is raining here again but I did check and it seems we DID NOT move to Seattle!!!! LOL
Much luv!!!

Morning!
Wow, it's a low energy and disorganized day so far for me. Just trying to get my butt in gear this morning was like pulling teeth... overslept and didn't exercise, was out of milk for my morning protein shake, had to stop at the store on the way to work for stuff for lunch, etc.
At work today, then heading to Lowes to try and pick up 2 pantry cabinets for the garage so I can move a bunch of stuff out of the overcrowded kitchen pantry. Chaos still reigns supreme in my house and will until Katie finishes the darned painting, the new drapery rod arrives in the mail, and I can get some time to get things re-organized.
Meanwhile, sis-in-law's having another nervous breakdown / addiction crisis, mother-in-law's sick, and hubby's freaking over whether he made the right decision in taking the layoff package. Between the three of them, I think I'M the one that needs to self-medicate, and I'm the only one who's not. Haha. Just trying to maintain my sense of humor and calmness.
I would dearly LOVE to crawl back into bed for a large part of today, but that's not going to happen. Sigh.
