Terrific Tuesday roll call
Enjoy your day with people today!
I have what appears to be the never ending laundry to finish. I swear I just did it last week....and thought I was good....but after unpacking from jersey and all that stuff - realized all the bins were full again yesterday! There's one load in the dryer and one in the washer and I'm done.
Chilling with hubby today and packing up food for work tonight.
Tonight is my only night of work this week. I was supposed to work Fri/Sat as well (our weeks start Sunday and end Saturday) but I get two paid "funeral days" so I am taking Fri/Sat off for my grandmother's memorial service.
Other than that, not much else!

Good morning Lisa - How nice it is to say good morning to you specifically! And of course to all of my other PA peeps!
I am currently at work, dreading the day ahead of me - it was all I could do to get myself out of the house today. I am 95% sure that I am NOT going to teach this afternoon and this evening. I just CAN'T do it - and I know my boss, and good friend, will totally understand - however, I have NO lesson plans laid out so I will have that hanging over my head to send. Oh well. Also, I am pretty sure I will take the next couple of days off - This is the first time that I really am in need of a mental health day - I really don't feel mentally well. It is VERY not like me. I came to a strange realization this morning, I was headed in and wanted to stop off at Wawa to pick up a salad for lunch and thought to myself - I am soooooo getting a breakfat bagel - I don't care what I feel like, I already feel emotionally like **** - so why not my body too!....on my drive in, my brain woke up and I realized that is how I dealt with things in the past - I would eat my way through my frustrations and feelings of inadequacy and beig overwhelmed. So - I DID NOT get the bagel sandwich - I only got the salad, a few bananas, a few cheese sticks (They are the BEST from Wawa) and Skim milk to make the protein shake that I did plan for.
It is very hard NOT to turn back to old addictions. I feel like crap - but am looking at the positive in that I handled the food addiction well. The day is still young and I have my sugar free snacks with me to help ward off any other brain lapses, but I feel pretty confidant that I can handle this too.
As for my day - The things that I need to do because I am taking the night off: Work out the cookie money situation, make some phone calls for appointments for Molly, make a list of the things I want to get done. and maybe, just maybe, sit down and watch a little TV!
I hope you all have a nice Tuessay!

Hope you have a great day and things look up for you. It is nice to hear that I'm not the only person who struggles at times with turning back to my ways of old when I am stressed. It is so easy to want to get sucked back into that old way of thinking. It is always nice to know you're not alone on this journey....
Hey there Steffi,
I think we have all totally been where you are now. And just because it's "not like you" doesn't mean that it's not normal or not ok. Everyone hits a point where they need time to take a step back, breathe a little, and reset.
Congrats on the wawa situation! BIG BIG BIG kudos to you on that one!
