***Almost Friday Roll Call***
Well, for most of you, anyway! Today starts my first of 5 in a row...so really....it's more like Monday than anything for me, lol
1am and I'm in the middle of my "night shift at home" I've dechristmased the house, made a few dinners for the next couple of nights, watched some tv with the hubby. Next is the bathroom which needs a good cleaning and such. Then I have baked potatoes cooling which I am gonna hollow out and make into chilli and cheese stuffed potato boats.
I had mentioned to hubby that it will be weird to be up all night "alone" So guess who is still on the couch? Apparantly there's just no pleasing me...because although I LOVE the fact he is trying to keep me company, the other part of me is going "go to bed - this is MY time" LOL At the very least, I don't have to worry about how much noise I'm making.
Planning on being up till at least 5 am...normally I'd be up much later than that if I was working...but I figure if I can get some extra sleep, why not? I'm headed to jersey for a single 9p-7a shift Thursday night into Friday morning and then coming right home. Not my normal MO to only do one shift, but it's what they could give me on short notice, and well, one shift is better than no shifts this pay period. They've hired some extra staff - so I need to be a bit more dilligent in giving them my time early. It used to be name my own schedule at any time....not so much anymore.
Anyway - have a great day!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 

Good morning PA!
I'm in a time warp this morning. Got up at 4:15 planning to take the 5:30 train to Philly. But somehow had it in my head that I would leave at "quarter after" and had time to do a couple of things....then realized, "Oh no! I should have left by 5 a.m.!" So...not a huge deal but I now have some time till 6:15 when I'll leave for the station.
Working today, then going to the gym. My exercise time has been more limited this week because of working. Yesterday was a personal day for a funeral, and I did put my gym bag in the car but forgot my shoes. So I went to the mall and got a couple of things - this will be a separate post.
Work...working out...that's about the size of it for today. Is it true it's not going to be quite as cold today?

Good Morning Pam & PA:
Up on time this morning to get ready for work. I was in bed by 8pm last night, woke up for a minute when Gene got home from work, then right back to sleep.
I'm still tired but I might be on time today. So far this week I have not worked out at all. I've been so tired after work that I'm coming straight home, eating dinner then falling into bed. The cat is loving it, she lounges in bed with me and the electric blanket.
Today is pretty much the same drill. Work till 4, then hoping to not be so tired I drive past the gym. If I make the gym, I'd like to take a walk on the treadmill once I get home. Then some homework, I forgot to email the stuff home that I prepared during lunch yesterday so I have to do that today so I can work online on my class. This is my last on-line class I cannot wait till it is over. I think I'm too old for this on-line learning. I prefer in class, I'm not getting a thing out of this class other than wasting my money teaching myself the course. The prof is very hands off and has minimal involvement in the discussions as does the rest of the class.
Hope everyone has a great day, I hear the temp is supposed to go up a bit, I'm planning to wear a dress or skirt today.....

I'll say goodnight Pam because you are probably getting ready to go to bed right about now.
Last night, I had my second therapist appointment.. posting about that separately..
For me, I'm up working OT again.. good news is, today is my Friday. Bad news is I have to take the car to the dealer tomorrow to get it fixed. I have to hope that it is nothing expensive because I don't have a lot of money right now..
After work, I will go to the gym and do my 5K training on the treadmill. I went outside at lunch yesterday to do it, and while it was slightly invigorating, I had a hard time catching my breath in the cold.
Later, pick up the girls from dance and then home for dinner.
No bingo tonight. My babysitter has midterms this week and for some reason thinks they are more important than sitting here with my kid for a few hours.. SHEESH.. some people.. LOL!
I'll probably do family game night with Siehara since I am not usually home on a Thursday. That will be nice for both of us.
That's it for me. Have a great day.. and Pam, sleep well!

Hi all,
Did not get much sleep last night. Hubby had a major meltdown. His car is being repossessed today and he is not a happy camper. So I am very fuzzy headed. Today, after we drop off his car, it's off to Olean to drop something else off. He also has a little work to do at the hospital. Then, I need to clean, work on my song for Easter and just try to stay out of his way. I also want to burn some Cds today before we go so we can listen to that instead of fighting on the way to Olean. Yawwwn, so tired.

Good morning, PA!
I'm up a little earlier today because I'm going to a roundtable discussion for displaced workers in my field. It's only for the morning. When I get home, I want to get on the treadmill, but I may need a nap first. Not sure if I'm getting a sinus infection or a cold, but I'm not feeling 100%. Think I'll stop for some meds on the way home, probably some Tylenol Cold and Sinus.
Have a great day, everyone!!

Good Morning everyone !
When I got to work this morning at 6:30, there was a slight glimmer of light in the sky. Usually it's pitch dark. Just that tiny little sign that the days are changing, means that Spring is coming ! Woo hoo ! Can't wait for the warm weather.
Today has me at work til 3:30 and then home. That's about it for me. Boring day.
Hope everyone has a great day !

Good Morning all!
I just got my BIG boys off to the bus stop. I don't have to work today. I contemplated going back to bed but decided to throw a load of wash in and drink a cup of coffee. It will just be Jantzen & I during the day today. I am hoping he is his chipper self but he is teething so I am not sure what his mood will be.
I plan to mop the floors today, catch up on some wash and maybe download more of Johnny's CD's onto my iTunes. I am gettinghim an iPod for our anniversary and want to have it loaded and ready with his music when I give it to him.
tonight I have a baby shower for a girl I used to work with. I may take Princess Riley with me if she wants to go, although she'll probably opt to stay with her brothers who she loves to play with.
Hope everyone has a great day!
