***Manic Monday Roll Call***
Good morning all - thoughts and prayers going out to all of you who are suffering through the loss of a friend and/or loved one. Tough weekend for you guys.
I'm back at work - we had a great weekend at the beach with our friends - over 90 on Saturday so we all put our suits on - my crazy friends got in their pool - way too cold for me to do that, but I did sunbathe a bit and got some color. We really just relaxed and have a nice weekend. It is nice being able to just go away and not worry about things at home - and not feel that we 'have to get away' now.
Today has me back at work - tonight after dinner I will be getting on my bike. Every week I start out okay but then find myself letting everybody and everything else take priority over ME and that has got to stop. I am feeling sluggish - I've lost what little bit of tone I had achieved through working out - and neither are good. So tonight back on the bike and if it stops raining I'll take a quick walk at lunchtime.
Trish, I started watching the game but was dead tired from the weekend - sadly I missed my guy (Victorino) hit his grand slam home run!! But I was so glad to see the Phils beat up on the Mets like like - and it really wasn't against the Mets as much as I was so sick and tired of listening to those announcers go on and on and on about how great and wonderful the Mets and their pitcher are. Guess they weren't all that after all!!

I've had a bit of a crazy morning.
I was SUPPOSED to leave Brian's parents house last night. But I ended up with a terrible migraine due to what I believe to be a combination of emotions and allergies. So I took some benadryl and motrin (the only things they had in the house) and then crashed. I slept on the couch so of course I was up by 4:30am. so I packed my stuff and left before rush hour traffic started - I guess about 5:15. I'm sure I'll get hell for it as I did not wake brian up to tell him why I was leaving.
Got home...*thought* I had left my house keys in jersey. Had a mini nervous breakdown over it. Was just about to call a lock smith to pay out the nose to get into my house...when I realized I put them in my center console simply so that I WOULDN'T leave them in jersey. Duh.
Since I've been home...I put laundry on, emptied and then refilled the dishwasher, packed up food for work, unpacked my bags from jersey etc.
I'm chilling now....will hopefully go back to bed (in my OWN bed - I simply and utterly can't WAIT) no later than 11 or 12...will need as much of a nap as I can get before work tonight. First, I was obviously up early..secondly after work I am driving DIRECTLY back to jersey in the morning. Have to take my grandparents to a neurologist appointment and will probably talk to my parents about a few things as long as I can get my thoughts in order.
Enjoy!

I, too, am sorry to hear about everyone's friends and family over the past few days. You are in my thoughts and hope that when I am faced with similar tragedy I can be as strong. Stress eating is what got me to pre-WLS.
As for today. We have a whole bunch of nothing planned. Daycare today, after school the kids will come home. Homework. Dinner. I'll get in a walk tonight, the sun is promising to come out now. relax with the kids and get ready to do it all over again.
Wishing everyone a fabulous Monday!

Hi All...
All I can say is I'm upright and breathing...good day to stay in bed!!! Rainy here in NJ....
At work till 4:30, then taking my oldes to get her hair done, then home for dinner, homework and anything else that unfolds throughout the day!
Both my girls had meltdowns yesterday, youngest one joined a new softball team, not knowing anyone. Had an asthma attack, soo hot she was overheated, crying and embarrassed!! It was a long two hours!!! Oldest daughter started her first job ever....at a cafe, she's working in the ice cream store...was very overwhelmed...she said making ice cream cones, milkshakes and sundae's is harder than you think!! They were both exhausted last night, as was I.
Woke up to tons of water in my oldest daughters room, so she's home from school today helping my Dad "unflood' her room!
Can't wait to get in bed tonight!!!

Morning, everyone,
It was a rough weekend for us. Eddie's mom has been moved to the ICU and placed on a ventilator, due to acute respiratory failure. We were up there yesterday and she looks awful - shrunken in on herself and so weak. She's 82, but looks 102. Very heavily sedated, but she knew we were there, so that's good. Eddie's having a hard time seeing this decline and dealing with his sister's "wacked-ness" around it, so we're trying to support him as best we can.
Then, we got home last night from an exhausting day and realize that our garage fridge/freezer is dying... so we're frantically doing triage and moving things around to save the more expensive meat and prepared items and sacrificing the frozen fruits and veggies. Just lovely. And I really NEED to be spending the money replacing it right about now.
This morning, between having been awake until some absurd hour like 2:30-3 AM, the rain, my head pounding, and emotional exhaustion, the gym was just NOT happening. Nor was getting to work on time. Now I'm sitting here trying to get my brain engaged and my act together. Ha. Between work all day and class tonight, it's gonna be a loooooong day.
