****Wild Wednesday Roll Call***

Good morning Trish and all of PA = Trish - I am sooo sad that you are going through this - I hope that you found your way into work this morning.  Not that I am an expert in any way - and I am fortunate enough to not have fought depression, however, I do know that as teachers, we have an interesting approach to our teens.  I often find that when I am in a funk, the kids give me the energy to get through.  While they can be aggravating, they are fortunately still young enough to not understand the adult world and therefore have a fresh view on things.  I LOVE talking with them about things.  They make me smile and see things differently than I have previously viewed.  It is just my thought on the subject.

Anyway - Hi everyone!  I survived my crazy Tuesday - I then came home and sat with Larry and the big kids and watched a little TV.  It was nice.  However, we then got sucked into watching the Good Wife and didn't go to be until after 11.  I am good and tired this morning and have a slight headache.  I am working til 3:15 today, then I have my 9 month check-up with Dr. P.  I am really looking forward to it.

As Larry was home last night, I pulled out my clothes for today, last night so not to bother him this morning.  I went to put on my pants that I chose to wear and they were REALLY big, so I thought to myself, I wonder how I still have a size 16 in my closet, I thought I cleaned them out, I took them off, checked the tag and they were my 14's.  I was shocked.  I pulled out another pair of pants, put them on, also too big, but I had no choice...Looks like my body went and changed on me in the last few days.  The scale has stayed the same, however, the clothes are too big.  VERY COOL!  As I was walking to pickup my students this morning, one of my colleagues was behind me and stated that my back was sooo little.  It is neat.  Iam starting to understand as I look in the mirror and am less and less surprised at who I see.  Still am surprised when I put on smaller clothes, but it is starting to make some sense to me.

Well, I have babbled long enough again....THis is like my morning ritual to read about everyone's day and think I am going to just write the few things that I am doing, and then I go into this monologue of my life.  I don't know if anyone really cares what I am doing, but I enjoy just writing it down!

Have a great Wednesday all! :)

Thanks Steffi,
I got little sleep last night, had back spasms and leg cramps when I did get to bed, between coughing fits, and bagged the day.  I did take the dog to camp, so he would have fun while I rest.

The kids do give me energy, and I do enjoy them immensely, it is the rest of the world, and the stinking system in which we work that I struggle with most days.

I won't babble any longer.

Hugs,
Trish
 

Oh - how I understand the rest of the world and our stinking system - I have started to put my stuff on PAREAP and am really thinking of getting out this year. I feel so bad for the kids this year - their educators are being put under so much pressure and we are all sooo unhappy!  If we could only do ONE of the things that work instead of ALL of them....think how great our kids would do!  I am in DESPERATE need of a mental health day and am hopeful that Monday will do it for me - if not, I will be getting back in bed rather soon.   I hope you make it through the day ok.  I miss you!

Trish hope you start feeling better. 

I got up way early to let the vampires draw blood for my appt with dr Brader on monday, Was still late to work it took forever.  Working all day then seeing clients this pm. Preparing for my group, which looks like may not go off.

Thoughts going out to those in Haiti. what an awful situation.

Thanks, Nicole,
I have former students from Haiti, and they are waiting for word from their family members there.

It is an awful situation. 

My prayers for them as well.

Trish
