Good morning all!  Recent WOW moments? Lemme see what comes to mind..

...Yesterday I lived thru Day 1 of 3 of training that will lead to me federally certified to what I do for my job-my brain and butt both hurt, but it will be worth it...after the training I have to take-and PASS--10 online tests--but I have 90 days to do that..it's a GREAT opportunity and I'm lucky to get it

...I took ALL my vitamins all week

...They served hamburgers and hot dogs at the training yesterday (no kidding-cheap old Raddison..lol)..and I didn't eat any buns, or the fabulous smellings cookies at the afternoon break-am taking protein bar for the break today-will eat half in AM and other half in PM..bet lunch will be chicken, since we didn't have it yesterday

Got to spend time with Princess TRACEY Monday night, while the monsoon was blowing thru Joshua. We were sitting at The Huddle House-big plate glass window--like a couple of idiots--watching things blow and float by. A family we know, named Kim and Bubba and their 3 kids came in for dinner. They had been on their way to a "nice" place to celebrate Buba's bday, but the storm stopped them. TRACEY just HAD to say "If you ever took Bubba to Huddle House for his Birthday..You MIGHT be a REDNECK".....the waitress was not amused....I laughed so hard I spit coffee all over the table..the waitress was WAY not amused then...we left a big tip...

Oay..better get moving here..after long training day I'll need to go to work and get stuff done there too, if I expect to go to the conf Friday..and I DO expect to do THAT!!!!

((((HUGS)))) and prayers all around--Have a day full of WOW moments!!!

I LOVE Y'ALL AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!!

Good morning.  My wow's are:  down 10 lbs. on the monthly challenge and I have been able to schedule the near to impossible ARD meetings on teachers conference periods at the high school level.  Now all I have to do is wait for them to moan and groan...oh well...the higher ups will get to hear that 'cause I'm not the one that made that decision!

Ready for the conference this weekend...whoohoo to that!

ARD meetings early this morning then work, work, work on paperwork!

Prayers for all who need them.

have a great Wednesday!

Good Morning All,
It's down right cool this a.m.!!    Don't think I even have one woo hoo this week, especially with my weight.  I was up this week.  Am sucumbing to sweets too much. Got to get back on track. 
Took Tootsie (aka, Little S_it) to doggie training last night.  I guess there's still hope, I just need to be more diligent.  After dropping Caroline off at MDO this a.m. Tori and I are headed to Target and WalMart.  Fun, Fun!!  Got to get clothing ready for the clothing exchange too.  Got to get busy, ya'll have a great day.

Blessings,
Carol

2)Found a box in mom's garage of old camp paper, pictures and school stuff--I weigh less now than I did in middle school!!!
3) Sis and mom cleaned out a closet a found sis wonderful full length blue wool coat she had in high school (I always liked it) and it fits me beautifully and is hanging in MY closet!!

Family Woo Hoos--SIL has a job! and GS made the Boswell Football team!!

Make it a great day

Good morning and WOOHOO to you!!  Let's see...I've had several woohoo's this week.  1) an old co-worker came back to work after being gone for 2 years and had no idea who I was until I spoke to her.  2)  One of my anesthesiologist's who moved away and came back to visit grabbed me, hugged me and said "OMG, look at you!!"  He was spinning me around to get a better look...too funny!!  3) my scale likes me today.  I'm back at my LOWEST weight ever again today.  4) the contractor is FINALLY finished with all the repairs to our house after that minor flood in July.  Now if I could just get my hubby to re-seat the upstairs toilet, I'd be happy.

Plan for today is to make a Walmart run, pack my vitamins for the conference, figure out what clothes I'm taking and to organize my clothing exchange clothes.  Guess I better get going...lot's to do.
