** Tuesday Roll Call **

So here I am - awake and miserable!  I had a great and busy day with the kids.  Started out tutoring a 20 year old who is taking a general math class at community college and worked with him for two hours - made a good amount of money, then took the big kids to their well-check-ups, from there went into my classroom for about an hour - Josh and Molly helped out, from there went to the market.  Haden't eaten anything from about 11AM til we got home at about 4:25 ish.  So - I had soem peanut butter pretzels knowing that dinner was not that far off and I need SOME protein.  I was feeling sore, probably over did it - but things needed to get done and I had the big kids do all the heavy stuff.  I sat down on the reclinder to relax, Larry came down from sleeping, he worked last night and asked if we could have an early dinner.  I said that I had just had a snack and wasn't hungry yet.  About ten minutes later he came down again - totally pissed because he HAD to eat and why did I have a snack so close to dinner.  Now - we normally don't have dinner until about 6:30 ish - so a snack at 4:30 was pretty good!  That set the mood for the rest of the evening.  He was a miserable person.  Put on a movie without asking anyone what they wanted to watch.  Made himself dinner (at 6:45 BTW) and sat down to eat and watch the movie and basically didn't talk to anyone!  I HATE his passive aggressive bull ****!  I tried to talk with him - NOTHING.  We went up to bed and I laid there waitng for something, NOTHING!  I tried to talk with him, NOTHING.  I can't stand it - so here I am - after midnight, SNACKING because he refuses to talk!  UGH!  Needless to say I am NOT looking forward to my Tuesday.  He will be home all day - probably mope all day and refusing to talk about things.

I HAD wanted to get into my classroom because Joshua is around and can help me - and I want to get to the jeweler to finally get my rings sized because Larry can use his fire department discount.  But to be totally honest - I have no idea what the day is going ot hold becuase of his damned mood swings.  I had mentioned to him one day last week, when things were great and calm that I think he needed to rethink going back on medication.  Not sure how well that went over, but I had to say it.  I don't understand how one person can just go to sleep pissed and let it fester inside them.

Sorry to be such a downer on this Tuesday - I hope your day is WAY better than mine!

Sorry you are struggling so.  You are not alone.  I have been going through one continual trial for 20 years.  It gets old.

Today, is a catch up day.  Since no one has offered to help me with quicken. I'm going to have to figure out a way to start over with my checking account.  So, that won't be fun.  Do some cleaning and such.

Steffi I am sorry it is never easy. It is hard enough to communicate and negotiate a partnership in a marriage especially one as long as yours it. Much less when you add the MH part to it. I am hoping he will take heed and go back on any meds that may help him and you all at the same time. 

Today is work for me, then Rochelle is coming over to teach me and Jason how to box and use mits with together that should be fun yay. He is pretty excited with himself because he wrote a Night Stand App for the droid and released it to the marketplace yesterday and it has already been downloaded 100 times. It is a free app for now, but if it goes well, he can release a even better version for a small charge. If you charge 1.00 per download and 1,000 people download it.....you get the jist. I am happy for him. 

That is about it for me today. Hope you all have a good one.

Hooray for Jason!!!      How cool to write an app!!!  If it's Night Stand BOLD, then it's been downloaded 101 times!!  (I picked Yvonne's handbag for my color and am wondering who Yvonne is.  lol)

Julia it is Night Stand BOLD HOW COOL.  Yvonne is my mom and she loves purple it is her fav.
Lets us know what you think. He is seeing how it works out and what kind of changes he needs to make.

Downloaded!

Good Morning PA & Steffi,

Being married is such a chore sometimes.  Men say woman can be fickle, huh! Have they looked in the mirror lately!!  Hope things get better for you Steffi.

Today is the same as yesterday for me.  Work till 5 then home.  I've been so tired lately.  Not sure why.  Skipped going to the gym this morning.  Decided to sleep till 6 instead.  Yesterday I was so tired I took a nap in my car during my lunch hour.  Felt much better afterwards. 

Hope everyone has a good day.

You're tired because you are still recovering from your surgery.  I remember getting great surges of energy and then crashing.  Don't overdo it.  You don't want to hurt yourself.  I wasn't allowed to do anything more than walk for the first 6 weeks, to be sure I was completely healed.  Please keep that in mind so you don't hurt yourself.

You are rocking your tool, girl!! Keep it up!

Steffi, sorry you are having issues.  I would really try to sit him down and talk to him today, now that he's had a chance to stew for a bit.  I hope things work out for you.

Today has me working until 3:30
after work, I'm going to make some spinach chicken bake for tonight's dinner and leftovers.  Last night I made stuffed zucchini.. they were sooooo good.  I used a basic recipe that someone here posted, but added canned crab meat to the spinach,cheese mixture... OMG.. soooo good.

Tonight, I will head to the gym for Body Pump and pilates!  I am so glad I decided to try classes at the gym.  It has definitely motivated me to keep going.

Morning Steffi & PA

Am off to work - am going in later this morning since I didn't get home until midnight last night (8am til 11pm, that's not a long day is it??)   - we go live with the new system on Monday, so this is hell week and I have to work through the weekend too.. UGH!!

Stef - am hoping that Larry mellows today :(

well, not much time, the drive from Yardley to West Chester is a long one :(

xoxo,
