Moody Monday roll call
well Monday has arrived and things are joyous in the Hunt/Estes household. Last night, I woke up around 11:30 to find a note on my end table and a tween on my floor. Apparently, my room is cooler than hers and she planted herself on my floor with a note to leave her be and that she would get up this morning. Yes, her windows open. No, she doesn't like to open them. I woke up again around 3:30 or so and fell back to sleep until the alarm went off.
Siehara woke up and told me that she was nauseous and had thrown up. Apparently, she is suffering from some sort of premenstrual nausea crap because this happened last month, too. But, I just looked at the calendar and the last time was 4/27, so the math doesn't add up per se. Who freakin' knows. I'll call the dr today to see if we can get her in because she doesn't have enough issues already.
So, today I'll be calling the dr and getting her in there whenever they can see her. I'll work around that. She has PT scheduled, so hopefully she'll be feeling well enough for that. Tonight, I'll head to the gym. If she is still not feeling well by then, she can stay home and rest while I'm there. She'll be fine alone for 2 hours.
Other than that, I'm sure it will be an early night for both of us. For me, it will be b/****ep waking up in the middle of the night (maybe I need to add melatonin to my nightly ritual); and for her since she isn't feeling well.
Hope everyone has a better Monday and that the sun peeks through the clouds at some point.

Was just wondering where everyone was this morning!
Lisa, I hope thngs are "no big deal" with Siehara's nausea. I saw some natural remedies suggested on FB and would add ginger tea to that list - great for nausea issues.
We had steady rain all night - great night for sleeping.
I am working at home today after a busy week last week with 3 days in Philly. Have to get the oil changed in the car at lunchtime and have to get to the gym. My workouts don't seem to be paying off in terms of weight loss, but at least I am doing what I need to do to keep the muscles firmed up and the metabolism ticking along.
We were disappointed this weekend - Mike wanted to take a Sunday afternoon drive up to see his daughter and her kids, but as usual it didn't work out at her end. The truth is that we seldom see the kids, and are about #5 or #6 on the list unless there is a situation requiring money, at which time we move up the list quickly. Mike feels like he has lost touch with the kids and it is hard to see him go through that kind of feeling. Daughter has a real manipulative streak, and I can never quite trust where she is coming from....but I refuse to engage in the drama of all that. Her life is "nicey nice" on the surface but has elements of a bad Jerry Springer show underneath and I just refuse to engage in all of that.
Well, didn't mean to go down THAT road necessarily!
Have a good one, PA!

Lisa, good morning. Might your sleeping issues have something to do with the concerta? Dunno, just guessing. I hope you can get things figured out with Siehara. Do you believe her that she threw up? Not to be all negative but kids can be manipulating. Sending much strength and love your way.
Lynn, it sounds like you have a good perspective on you step-daughter, I would trust your instincts with her and keep supporting your man. Good luck hun.
Im hoping today will be drama free for me and I can make it through work unscathed, lol. I have to call the collision center today and schedule my motorcycle for repairs for sometime this week. The hardest part is getting it there in the midst of all this crappy rainy weather. I have a busy night scheduled as my son has a baseball game and I have a p90 workout and volleyball to do, and at some point I need to have dinner and help the kids out with their science projects. Im thinking that something will be skipped tonight, lets hope it is the science projects. Ugh. Not enough time in the day sometimes
!!! Peace out yall!!!

Swede, my sleep problems were before the Concerta. I'm actually hoping they stop now that I am taking it. I take it in the morning so hopefully that's not it.
I know that kids can be manipulating in regards to that. I checked the school schedule and there are no tests or projects due, so I want to assume that she is telling the truth about it. Plus, she knows that she will not be able to do anything "fun" like go on the laptop while she's home sick. I've already told her that when she gets out of bed she has to put her laundry away and do some light cleaning. If it wasn't at least somewhat real, she would have opted to go to school.

Morning all - I had the opposite last night Lisa - our little furball usually sleeps at the foot of the bed but when the storm**** he must have gotten down and hid under the vanity in the bathroom - took us a while to find him!
I was doing real good until I hit the highways this morning to head to work - then it turned into a 'Moody Monday' for me real fast - 322 was shut down due to an overturned tanker truck, so we were sent off into the countryside to wind our way around - that added about 15 minutes to the already long commute. Got to the next road we normally take (Brinton Lake) and that was shut down for construction. Finally made it out here to King of Prussia and got to the office complex and the entrance I normally come in was blocked by landscapers! I'm thinking I should have have just stayed home today??
My body is still recuperating from all the climbing and bending I did this weekend, but all of the curtains are washed and rehung, the windows are cleaned, the baseboards are sparkling, and I'm am one whipped puppy. Feels good to have it done - thank god spring cleaning only comes once a year!!

Hi Lisa and Family,
I am so sorry you are dealing with a sick adolescent. I used to get deathly ill the first day of my periods, diarrhea and terrible cramps. It was the pits. Having my first kid at 18 years old helped, but I don't recommend that for your little girl. LOL Hope she feels better soon.
I took Utley for a really good walk today. Had trouble sleeping a little because my lower back pain is flaring again. Hard to roll over when it hurts. Walking helped loosen it up a bit.
My ex came over yesterday to pick up his jumper cables, and helped me fix my bed...thank God. One of the wooden slats that holds the box spring had slipped out of place. It requires taking the mattress off and lifting the boxspring and then realigning it. I can't do that by myself.
Today is my AA meeting, and the gym to get in the pool. My toes have been bothering me, and I am tired of being crippled. Tonight is my therapy session, which has not happened in a month.
Hugs,
Trish

Morning everyone -
Lisa, I hope Siehara feels better. Ugh, girlie problems. I'm so happy that as I've gotten older that has evened out for me. And since surgery, it's gotten even more regular and light. Didn't even know that could happen, but I'm happy for it.
Made it in to work not only on time for once but actually a little early. Of course, our systems is running like crap, so today should stink.
Had a really nice weekend. Had dinner and shopped Friday night with Cyd. Thor and lunch with my Mom and brother Saturday. Sunday had my nails done then dinner at Cyd's. It was nice to just hang out and chat with her and Bob.
Today is just work followed by home. Very boring day planned for me. This weather is not helping my outlook either.
Have a good rainy day everyone.

Good morning Lisa and all! I am up and at work. Still in my funk. Larry and I talked a bit this weekend. Some in person, mostly by phone, but we have plans to be together tonight. Hopefully my mood will be one of acceptance and calmness. One can hope right?
So - I have made some major decisions. I am going to stop teaching 3rd grade at the synagogue in September. I think that it has run its course, I didn't have any fun with them this year. I found myself yelling more and easily getting agitated. So, I have to tell my friend, the boss, that I am backing out of it. I will offer to sub if necessary and I am still going to teach th 7th and 10th grades. THAT was still fun for me. I am also struggling at work, I received a memo from my principal on Friday that we have to have ANOTHER meeting, this time for my attendance. The school district of Philadelphia gives you 10 sick days, however, if you actually use them, then there is disceplinary action. So, after three occurrences, I had a lovely informal meeting with the principal so he could tell me what I already knew - then I needed two more days - one for when Molly had her psychiatric episode and I needed to get her to the doctor, and then last week when I WENT TO HIM to ask what I should do about getting blood work. I am beyond upset. Found out yesterday that the father of a VERY good friend of mine died and the funeral is Wednesday. What am I supposed to do about that? This is so ******g annoying. Sorry for the cursing. I am so overwhlemed for a change and can't seem to snap out of this funk I am in.
Today, I am at school, hoping to get some much needed positive energy from my students, who I LOVE, and then either home to get Larry and head to the market and deal with his social anxieties, or go alone and deal with my lonliness...sounds sooooo exciting doesn't it?!?!
Talk about moody!

Good morning all!
Today I am working 6 am-2:30 pm so I can attend a support group meeting at 3 pm. I need help, so I am going to try to get it. I had my 3 mo checkup last week. The Dr want me to eat more veggies/fruits and "real food". After I get my protein in, I don't have much room for more. Due to work, a SlimFast Low Carb is the easiest protein rich alternative...I will have to figure something out. Like the ladies at Liz's told me, she wants me to eat more calories. EEEeekkk...I don't want to gain weight and that is what I am fearful of if I eat more. Also, I see myself as a size 16-18 lady...fyi, my new jeans are a 4. Yes I am thrilled to be in a "single hand size" but I still feel and look bigger to me. Not the 30-32 I was, but a more fit 16-18. But I am actually smaller than that...I just do not see it. I think my 2 best friends are ready to slap me silly. One of them measured our arms. Mine physically looked larger, but the numbers were smaller...I broke down & cried, because I just do not see it that way. It feel like I am going nuts. The Dr said it will get better, I just what to know when?
Have a great day & don't forget to exercise:)
