Wednesday Roll Call
Hey Jo,
As everyone else has said, hang in there. I can only imagine it is tough to juggle all that you are and the one thing, as I look back at my life, that I have any regrets about is not having furthered my education, which is not to say it is too late now, but at this particular moment in time I am not able to commit to one more thing, however, sometime in the near future, I will do something. Also, you will be better equipped to give more to your children, as well as teaching them that education is something very essential to having a successful life. So you hang in there and one day you and your family will reap the rewards of all the "successing" you are claiming!
Hugs, Laureen

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

Good morning PA and Laureen-good boy Dillinger hang in there, Boy can I share a funny pregnancy story with everyone here. When I was pregnant with Heather I had to go to the bathroom alot. Felt like a gallon turned out to be a trickle. When I would try to sleep at night I used to beat a bath from the bedroom to the bathroom and when I got really tired I used to beat up on George just kidding. Finally one morning I heard a voice say to me....hon, you're sleeping on the toilet and I nastily replied no I'm not and then I looked around me and said oh yeah I am and started to laugh. Not to be TMI but here I realized I was in fact sitting on the toilet in the semi-dark and George got up and was getting ready to go to work and here he said to me how long have you been sitting here? I said to him now that was a stupid question I didn't even realize I was here. When you're pregnant you discover every bathroom in the malls and restuarants and such and while you are at that bathroom you try to take note of which ones have the diaper changing stations. Anyway today has me looking for new thrift shops the ones in Bensalem and Warminster look picked over and later on I have Physical Theraphy. I did my MRI last night why do they take so darn long! And after I run around like a crazy woman I am going to tune in to watching Witches of Eastwick. Everyone have a great day.
Thanks Linda, he is definitely a fighter and I am definitely lucky to have him.

Good morning Laureen and everyone - Laureen - I am soooo thrilled to hear good news about Dillinger! He is not only a fighter, but I strongly believe that our pets know what we need from them and it seems to me that Dillinger knows that you have needed his love and healing comfort this last year so he wasn't going to give up on that!
So - I wasn't on my computer AT ALL last night - and.....the world did NOT come to an end...go figure! I had a wonderful evening with hubby at a STUPID movie, Couples Retreat, so not worth it!, but we were together and then we had a nice and funny dinner in which we talked and reconnected and completely supported each other. It was a wonderful night, complete with my falling asleep on the sofa when we got home and then going straight to sleep when I got upstairs....oh well....not every night can be perfect! :) He'll be home again in a few days I hope! :)
Today is work with until 3:15, to Molly's school for a field hockey game, then to pick up Josh from his school because of the Septa strike, then to the counselor for family therapy with the big kids and Larry and then home to eat, get homework done, watch the Phillies and go to sleep too late again! Have I mentioned recently that I should have been born rich?!?! This working thing is so getting in the way of everything else I want to do! :)
I hope you all have a great day! Go PHILLIES! :)

Stephi,
You are so funny, thanks for your sentiments about my sweet boy Dillinger and I laughed at your comments on Couples Retreat, because while I would not want to pay to see it, my b/f did (lol) and we both thought is was cute, perhaps it is the backwards glance of two almost senior citizens (lol). . .
Have a great day!

Good morning everyone - great news on Dillinger and his overall health, Laureen - sorry to hear he has to go thru another surgery but he's got the best mom in the world and he's going to do just tine. Will be keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.
Mom had her port consult yesterday, liked the doctor and the procedure is being done Friday morning, so I will be off that day to take her and take care of her afterward. Then she can schedule her chemo treatments to begin again. To say I'm stressed over that is definitely an understatement, but we'll hope for the best.
Brother-in-law is still in the hospital fighting the GERD and reflux - they are working to get it under control and want to do an endoscope (?) today. He doesn't want it but the doctor is insisting so they can see what's going on in his stomach and all. Otherwise he's feeling pretty good.
I had a very restless night last night - best friend and I are having 'issues' right now and I do fear our long-standing friendship may be in jeopardy, but I honestly don't have the energy or patience to deal with what is going on right now. Hopefully we mended some fences by the end of the day yesterday but where I tend to let things go and move on she tends to hold onto things forever and will continue to bring them up over time. That doesn't sit well with me so we'll see how it all goes.
So hopefully I won't fall asleep at my desk today!!

Happy Wedns. everyone!
It sure is a chilly one this morning! Thank goodness for space heaters!
Laureen- Dillinger is a tough cookie eh? he certainly is a fighter <3
I'm dragging this morning... had one of those "put on 50 different outfits before making a decision" mornings. Those are never good.
I hope everyone has a great day otherwise!

Mary,
I think Dillinger is a chip off the old block. . .
Hope you warmed up and I don't have 50 outfits, but some mornings I just grab and go because nothing I look at in my closet feels like it works. . . today was one of them days for me too!
Have a great one!
