***French Toast Brigade Friday****

I think you have mentioned using a community center in your complex before haven't you? Could you do the shower there so it isn't in your house? Good luck! THat's a sticky situation!

We do have the clubhouse - its $200 to rent, tho, and I don't know if Lynda has that on top of the money she'll be putting out for the shower. We may offer to pay for that as their 'gift' just so I don't have to deal with everything at my house. Plus parking is an issue at the house, along with all the trash that goes with a big party like that...Lynda is the one step-daughter that doesn't ask for anything and is always very generous to us, so I really hate to say no.

today.. I leave work early, go get my superbowl food, wait for snow and have a couple conference calls later in the day.  I expect shoveling to start tonight and play in the snow with the little one.

 

woohoo snow

Working today and waiting for the snow. It's kind of amazing how certain the weather forecasters are that this will be a bad one.

I see my trainer on my lunch break today. She worked me SO hard last Friday...I'm almost afraid to see what's in store for today!

The weekend just got a lot quieter. I had a number of obligations on Sat., and was not going to be able to go to Barix. Now, Barix is cancelled, the other obligations are cancelled, and it looks like a great chance to "****oon" a little bit. Days like that are just a treasure!

Drive safely everyone!

Good morning everyone - so - I am back at work - was feeling pretty good about it, got in was talking with a few people about what I have been going through the last few days and then my co-teacher - who I have always adored - started in with the stress.  She was just told that one of the big-shots was coming in to observe us doing inclusion - (Which we do VERY well and have had MANY people come in to observe us) - however as this was one of the biggies, she started to panic - which I rarely do - however, based on my last few days of anxiety - I started to get really upset - which is crazy - because I absolutely know what I am doing and really enjoy people coming in and asking how we do things.  So I started getting nervous as I walked in - and it sucks!  I finally just looked at her and said - we are NOT doing anything different than we normally do - we are not putting on a show.

So having said that - myday started with a bang - the kids came in and of course they wanted to know a million things - they had notes to give me, money to give me for trips, questions to ask and generally wanted toknow how I was doing, then of course, there were papers to give out, breakfast to serve - yes - I have a bachelors and a Masters Degree and I am a stinking waitress in my school.  There are some days where I don't know how I get through!  So - that is the beginning of my day back - then the kids came in and were super annoying - even the other teachers who are normally calm have been losing their temper with these kids.  UGH!  We are close to cancelling things for them - which were always empty threats and are now getting serious.  I am really thinking about calling my old therapist and starting back with her to help me through this.   She was always willing to write me out of work for mental health issues - and I NEVER wanted to do it but Ireally don't know how much more I can handle without really going nuts.  I am not so sure that this is related to not eating, but I am sure it has something to do with it.

Ok - now I am just rambling and really frustrated with my co-workers who want me to work through this - they have worked with me for a while and have never dealt with me like this and they are driving me crazy!

oops - more rambling - signing off - looking forward to snow days forced to be home and do NOTHING!

it's the day for pissy co-workers. I am surrounded!

I think the kids are probably rammy because of the impending snowflake of doom (thanks Brian - love that one!)

Hang in there sweetie!

Afternoon all of PA today I could not sleep didn't get till sleep till 3almost 4 am UGH so that ment I slept till noon got shower went across the street had lunch come on here now. On the plus side nana got me new scrub outfit that fits me YAY not I can get rid of another set that is too big for me now. Yestday was bad day at work let hope today goes better for me.

I'm working 3-11 I'm hoping that their is not that much snow when I leave to come home tonight cuase I'm taking my car since my dad didn't leave the truck keys for me to take the 4x4. Oh well I will have to make do I guess.

Hope everyone has great safe TGIF that is for sure

ouch Pam I so miss that french toast I am too scared to try bread last time I did sliced bread OMG up it came and I so miss the banana pancakes too.  Oh well if that is the worst thing I miss its worth it. I get comments from people when I express my dislike for snow they say well you have that big expedition with 4 wheel drive and I tell them hey that doesn't guarantee me anything how about if someone hits me?  I can remember when as children we loved snow it meant no school and to our parents it meant cleaning off cars and shoveling! Oh keep in mind that the supermarkets sell postal stamps
