Thursday WLS express

ALL ABOARD!

GOOD MORNING! The Feds are coming! The Feds are coming! Yep, the program I work for is mostly funded by the federal government since we put people back to work and off their social security disabiiity in some cases. I've been with the agency 12 years and the feds have never come to visit us. So this is indeed a special occasion. OF COURSE I had to get a new dress, lol. I found a $70 dress for $29 at JCPenny's. They're having some great sales. So hopefully it will go well today and I"ll be able to speak intelligently.
Had a bad dizzy spell last night-for 3 hours. Didn't care for that just too much. Zonked out on the couch due to taking the Meclazine. And my hands are freakishly cold- esp the right more than the left. I don't know why.

One thing- if you have larger sized clothing and can't get rid of them, consider donating them to a clothing closet or charity like Goodwill. I found out years ago that they are always scrambling to find larger sized clothes- esp smaller charities. Also, I know of a men's clothing closet that provides interviewing and work clothes to low income men plus training on finding a job and building self-confidence. They just started so if anyone has any gently used men's clothes I'd be glad to pick them up. Or even women's too- I've got a charity for that. AND, I have one in Dallas that I visit that they're collecting purses. They give out donated new clothing but don't get any donations for jewlery or purses- so if you've got any of those I'll take them too!

Hope everyone has a great day today!

Funny you should say that about one hand colder than the other Alissa.    I have experienced the very same thing.   Don't know if it has anything to do with circulation or what.    Unusual to say the least.    I am cleaning out BIG TIME after my son graduates and getting rid of everything that I don't use.    LOL   Strange how a flooded house makes you think about what you value in your life.

Ugh!  I know I've said it before, but I'm going to say it again!  5AM comes awfully early in the morning!  Dang, I've got to get more sleep!!

Well, Kris won American Idol last night!  How about that, huh!!!  I had a feeling that he'd win! But that Adam, what a cutie pie, and can he sing, or what??  Man, does that boy have a career ahead of him or what?  I'm definately getting his album when it comes out!!  The stars that were on the show last night, phenominal!  Wow!  They outdid themselves!!

Ok, this is sad.  I don't have anything to talk about but Amerian Idol.  I need to go out there and get a life!  Ya'll have a great day, ya hear!!  Love ya!!

Good Morning My TMB Family,

Uggg....got up with such a headache this morning.  I have no doubt it is my allergies cause my eyes are barely open cause they hurt.  Had lunch with Rebecca yesterday, and then doctors appt (Gyn) in the afternoon.  The appt could have gone better, had some tests done and will have results in a couple of weeks.  Just keep me in prayer that these next two weeks dont drive me crazy!  Have a busy weekend, ahead.  I am going to my friends house at 10 tomorrow morning and staying the night and all day Saturday with her kids.  Their anniversary is on Saturday and I try and do this every year so they can go away and have some time to themselves.  She has a 2 year old boy and two girls, 2nd and 4th grade.  Eric loves going with me cause he does not get to see the girls very often.  Anyway, I pack myself some good food, some clothes for me and Eric and away we go.  Also gives Mark to the opportunity to work late and not feel bad that Eric and I are sitting at home.  Then of course Sunday is church.  Nothing going on today except a walk and I am so looking forward to that.  Prayers this morning for those that are in need.  Have a blessed day.  LOve you guys.  Michelle

P.S.  Has anyone heard from Jerri, she posts on Facebook but I have not seen her here in a while.

Good Morning, TMB!

Quick fly by with my hair on fire.....still no bathrooms.....day # 6....no functioning shower until Saturday 'cuz they had to put so many coats of the glazing to make 'em look good.  Got home and had no potty available to me last nite; thank goodness for clean bathrooms at restaurants!!!  In honor of the potty habit we acquire in our lives, I found the lyrics to an old Chicago song  
Hugs and prayers to all who need 'em - don't forget to take your VITAMINS - eat PROTEIN first - drink all of your WATER and EXERCISE every day!!!!

Hard Habit To Break - CHICAGO

I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what you've got
Until it's gone
And I found out a little too late
I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doing you a favor
I hardly knew you at all
Then you were gone
And it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared
Now being without you takes a lot of getting used to
I should learn to leave with it
But I don't want to be without you
It was all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier, it's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you, baby
You're a hard habit to break

You found someone else
You had every reason
No one can blame you for running to him
Two people together, but living alone
I was spreading my life too thin
After all of these years
I'm still trying to shake
Doing much better
They say that it just takes time
But deep in the night, it's an endless fight
I can't get you out of my mind
Now being without you takes a lot of getting used to
I should learn to leave with it
But I don't want to be without you
It was all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier, it's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you, baby
You're a hard habit to break

I can't go on, just can't go on
I can't go on, just can't go on
Being without you takes a lot of getting used to
I should learn to leave with it
But I don't want to be without you
It was all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier, it's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you!
You're a hard habit to break
Such a hard habit to break
I'm addicted to you!
You're a hard habit to break
Such a hard habit to break
I'm addicted to you, baby!

HAAAA!! I will NEVER hear this song again the same way!
Love ya girl!

I knew you would "get it" !!! 

Good morning.   Better get ready for work...I had a few chores to take care of this morning to be ready for the rest of the day.

Have to finish testing a kid today...he was absent again yesterday.  He better be there today.  I have to test an adult after school that someone asked me to help them w/ to get a reading level on them.  I have my last (thank heavens) athletic booster club meeting tonight and am ready to hand over all my stuff.  Right now I'm not happy w/ the athletic director because he supported the baseball coach he hired who has been mentally and verbally abusive to most of the varsity baseball players.  My nephew got booked and fingerprinted over his baseball field episode a couple of weeks ago and will forever have a record, but the school board, supt., and athletic director are allowing the coach to cuss constantly, belittle the boys, and throw bats, break things at the field, throw balls at the boys heads, etc. and keep on working.  What a message to send the kids in the district!  I'm so glad Ben is getting out of here in 2 weeks.

Prayers for all who need them.

Have a great Thursday.

Good Morning All,
Well, the week is almost done.  I have all three girls today.  This weekend we are headed to the Georgetown area.  DD and family are visiting friends in Cedar Park and they will drop me off in Georgetown to visit with my aunt.  She's 88 now and I'm afraid not to go see her.  She has early stages of Alzheimers and I lost my Mom to that awful illness, so I want to go see her before she gets too bad to remember me or all the fun we had as I was growing up.  Nothing else going on.  Hope y'all have a great day.

Blessings,
Carol
