******Thursday Roll Call********
Good morning all - I am sitting in my classroom - just contemplating the day ahead of me and TRYING very hard to hold onto the realtively decent mood that I am in. Last night I had such a fun time playing with so many of my friends on facebook and then I get a completely agravating phone call from Larry and he was in just such a pissy mood - it spilled over to this morning and I am doing EVERYTHING I can think of to try to help him through this nastiness.....It is so hard to be in love with someone who's moods change so often.......I understand being frustrated about something that you SHOULD be in control of - but to let it ruin a relatively good thing, doesn't make any sense to me - I guess that is what it means to be with someone with depression as opposed to having it yourself....ugh!!!!!
Working til 3:15 then heading home to pick up the girls for their hair appointments. From there will most likely pick up some quick food for them and take them to girl scouts. I will be running to and from girl scouts about 4 times tonight unless I can find someone to bring Molly home.....Always my goal for Thursday nights. I REALLY need to get some grading done....all those wonderful friends I mentioned earlier - kept me from doing it....YES - it IS all their fault.....not mine! Just saying!
I hope you all have a terrific Thursday......:)

Todays day is like so many others...diapers, play, diapers, try to figure out why that baby cries ALL day, diapers, put THAT baby down for a much needed nap, diapers, lunch, diapers, get her up to cry some more, diapers, play, etc.
Why is it there's always ONE to spoil a perfectly nice day? She's an only child, almost one year old, refuses to eat, drink, or play...I have to vent...she's screaming her head off and I've done everything to make her happy. Nothing works! I've been doing this for 11 years and there's always one! The fact that the others are happy and content insure me that it's not me. She eats NO table food and I swear she's hungry but is so stubborn she won't eat. I'm thinking...your hungry...you eat...simple... Not for her. She eats dog food and hair ties, but, if you put cheerios on her high chair tray, she has a tantrum, screams and throws them all over the place. Now, I don't ALLOW her to eat dog food and hair ties. But, she WILL put them in her mouth, so,I know she knows how. UGH! Thanks for letting me vent. I love kids dearly, and my daycare kids are awesome...don't get me wrong. But, the anxiety constant crying causes me is painful! Love your daycare providers! They keep alot from you to prevent your anxiety - if they're like me. No sense in upsetting mom & dad...there's nothing they can do while she's here but worry. We'll get through this. Soon I hope.
Rambling...
Tonight, likely a nice long walk as long as the weather holds out. Looks a lot nicer than I expected! I thought it was going to rain all day but it's beautiful and sunny. After the walk, probably some skillfully choreographed bill paying. (always fun)
Oh, I think it's naptime already.
Wish me luck for a peaceful day.
Time to go tend to the kids for a while.

Morning, all!
I've been up for a few hours. Got my workout in, and the laundry is going. (Started washing all the great clothes I picked up at the Goodwill outlet yesterday.) My dryer has been squealing a lot, so I'm hoping and praying that it's not about to die on me.
My goal for today is to go through a bunch of papers and get them organized. Shred, sort, recycle, file---whatever needs to be done. I'm hoping to find a certain paper in the process, so wish me luck!!
Have a great day, everyone!!

It is Thursday so soon it is Friday that is good thing for sure. In work paid a few bills was window shopping online. Looking forward to just being home tonight since we call Thursday our TV night.
Long weekend with Dj work so tonight will be couple time for sure thinking dinner will clean ups. We have a quite a few left overs then we can start over next week.
Made Mothers Day plans last night and totally happy the diner we go to all the time is going to cater breakfast for all of us doing the breast cancer walk on Sunday. How cool is that! Just need to make my Aunt's gift certificate up we are going to give her a future meal down teh shore at place she loves to eat on the bay in Sea Isle City.

Checking in late, but at least am checking in!
Eddie's mom was weaned off the ventilator yesterday and was doing well as of last night. (great news!) Hopefully they will move her out of ICU today or tomorrow, and then we'll have some path forward to nursing care.
Last night was catching up on some work around the house and my TIVO'ed programs (GLEE)... was VERY frustrated to find that because of some stupid show called "american idol" (really, what kind of a name is that?) my precious GLEE had started 5- 7 minutes late, which means the recording cut off the last few minutes of both episodes I had missed. Seriously, people - this is SERIOUS STUFF. Sheesh.
I'm at work today - meetings off and on all day. Can't wait for the end of the day, frankly.
My gym workout felt good this morning. I mixed cardio, kickboxing, weights and stretching. Made a new workout playlist and it felt "rejuvenated" in a weird way.
GEOFF - Give it a chance and I'll bet you find you no longer crash in the afternoon... It took me no more than a week of morning workouts to adjust to that, and then I realized that I had MORE energy throughout the entire day and into the evening on the days that I worked out in the mornings. Just a thought.
Have a great day, folks.
