**Wonderful Wednesday Roll Call**
Good morning, PA!!
Debbie---I'm so sorry about your sister-in-law.
We're on our way home from the beach this morning as we both have appointments this week. (I made at least 4 trips up and down 2 flights of steps packing the car and was still able to breathe!!) I have my 9-month followup with Dr Pupkova tomorrow, even though I'm 10 months out.
Signed up for school finally yesterday. Been forever, so I hope I
can remember how to study!!! Anatomy and physiology is the pre-req, so that's all I'm taking for now.
Need to figure out my grocery list. I'm making SF cupcakes and maybe cinnamon rolls to take to my mom's this weekend. We're celebrating her 75th birthday and will be staying overnight.
Have a great day, my friends!!!

Good morning everyone and isn't it a lovely morning, kinda chilly though I guess. In the park behind our office the flowers and cherry blossom trees are blooming. It looks really pretty and makes you forget, just for a second, what a ****hole Allentown can be.
Today I am working till 5 and then off to one of my part-time medic jobs. Someone called off and they needed someone to work the IronPigs game (minor league AAA affiliate of the Phillies). It's the home opener, so it should be a fun couple hours.
Work is busy today and I'm heading to King of Prussia for a case because of someone else's error. Gotta love it. Have a great day everyone!

Good morning, Friends!
I'm truly amazed at how the minds of some of my daughters' friends' parents work. These are all 18 and over, great kids (never been in trouble, polite, good in school, involved in outside activities), but their parents act like they're completely untrustworthy slackers. Just steams me. And the one mom is ridiculously overprotective. I vent, because I'm the one pulling together their senior trip to disney world for this summer, and it's driving me NUTS. I finally figured out last night that the one mom is a passive-aggressive bully. Her take is "You do it MY way or ZZ doesn't go on the trip" (which means everyone else has to pay more $$). And unfortunately ZZ is a really wonderful girl and we all want her to come on the trip and she's not at all like her mom. The mom is paranoid - "they can't go off disney grounds, have to fly southwest out of philly, kissimmee is a bad neighborhood, the girls have to stay in one room and the guys in another, etc." Never mind that I've done this trip 10 - 12 times and know the area like the back of my hand (and will be there with them the whole time - again - 18 and 19 year olds). Sigh. Hopefully it will all come together today, because it's becoming a major stressor, primarily just because of this one mom.
Becky left today for her SkillsUSA competition in Hershey. She'll be gone until Friday - had to drop her off at school at 6:45 this morning. She asked me to take her car to get it inspected while she's gone, then got to school and realized she had locked her keys in it. Oh joy.
Had a nice workout at the gym this morning, then got to work on time (a miracle considering the morning schedule today!).
Having one of my former students come over today to look at making me a new railing and bannister for the kitchen. He's an amazing wood-worker and I'm betting he'll come up with something really cool and creative, if he's interested in the job. Won't know until he looks at it.
I have crock pot chicken cooking for dinner, so at least that's no stress!
I hope you all have a wonderful day.

In work today and there is tenstion between y boss and coworker. SO I am just minding my own business. I feel for Chris (co worker) he just is so frustrated then again we all are working here at this point.
Once I leave work I am having the girls over for a support group meeting since it seems some of us we need some extra support. Well I know I do and after last week I know I need to let it out to move ahead and not emotional eat. I am making dinner of spinach pizza and dessert will be left over cake from Karen's baby shower ;)
Counting down the days in work till next week since I took off a few days since Dennis is on vacation we made plans for a mini get away to Atlantic City. I made show reservaction at the Borgota and we are staying at Harrah's. I am looking forward to the get away.
