Come one...Come all...Thursday roll call
I have been very bad at posting lately - have been missing, but hopefully not forgotten! Have been reading and catching up a bit tonight. Very, very busy lately - burning the candle at both ends and have been running the roads like crazy.
Life is good, no complaints - am happy to say that.
Have a great day PA!!
xoxo,
Maura
I am up later than usual tonight. I have been doing the job search for part time work using my social work training, because I could use the extra money, and it would keep me off the street and out of trouble, if you know what I mean.
I did not get to the gym on Wednesday, as I had a killer headache most of the day. So, Thursday has me hitting the pool for some cardio. I also will make my AA meeting in the morning, and then in the evening, I will get to my Bible study. Somewhere in between, I must make a casserole for a family at church.
Hope you are all well.
Hugs,
Trish

Good morning all - thanks to everyone who posted on my good news post - I am definitiely doing the happy dance about no surgery!! The PT will also re-teach me how to walk - like a 'normal' person - sounds strange, but its true. Anyway, no surgery on the horizon for me and that's a good thing.
So has anyone seen news about Aretha Franklin? She's dropping weight like crazy but refuses to tell how - come on, Aretha - fess up and be up front about your weight loss! We all know she's had some kind of WLS, same as Starr Jones - what is with the celebs that they won't admit it? I wish her all the best because I know her health was really failing and I hope this helps her, but it makes me sad that she won't say how she's losing the weight.
On another note I had a call from a friend of mine yesterday *****cently retired from teaching - she called to tell me she won $100,000 on a scratch off PA lottery ticket! Nobody I know personally has ever won that kind of money so I was very happy for her!
As for me it's another day at work (sorry for rambling this morning) - tonight dinner and work-out - have to call today and get my PT appts scheduled and started.
Hope everyone has a great day. Kathy
Once again, cramming as much work as possible in early in the day to free up part of the afternoon for the grandchildren. We may go to the beach again, and let the girls pick up some shells to take home. Ava (age 5) has had a bit of the sniffles so it kind of depends how she is. The pool is much easier than the beach (no lugging stuff required, no sand to clean up) but the girls LOVE the beach.
Tomorrow Sarah and the kids head home....we have had 2 wonderful weeks together. The best part has been giving Sarah some help and a bit of a break. Her big solo "outings" have been to Whole Foods and the nail salon, but it's the break from Michigan winter that has been great for her, and not having to do meals, etc. Packing up? Now THAT will be a challenge! There is kid stuff all over the house!
Wishing all of you a great Thursday. I think tomorrow's Friday!
Already have had a morning from hell whi*****luded crying to a friend on the phone this morning at my frustration with Larry - of course, as I said it, which I might tell you all later, made me sound completely ridiculous....but, hey....that is why I am so loved right?!?! :) I am in school, trying to pull myself together to get ready for the day - these kids deserve a functional teacher who is not all over the place, oh...did I mention that I am out of my meds - have been for a week - do you think THAT explains my crazy emotional crap?!?! (Calling the doctor today - going to have the script called in immediately!) I will be all fine after my first dose right?!?! :)
After school, I am headed to the pool, I went yesterday and the kids were pissed. They wanted me home and I told them in no way was I going to miss the pool. So today, Emily gave me a hard time when I told her I was going to the pool again. This is crazy - this is why it is so challenging for me to get the exercise in. I already don't want to exercise and then the guilt that the kids throw at me makes me want to give in.....I am struggling with this! I AM going to the pool today and will deal with the guilt, however, it is in my head.
This afernoon, after the pool, I am coming home to shower, hang out with the kids for a little and then Larry and I have a date. I know the kids are NOT pleased, but we have had these plans with two other couples for a while and I am really looking forward to it. I already told Emily that she and I could have a date tomorrow night. So it looks like dinner and some shopping are on the agenda for tomorrow. Guess I will have to find THAT energy somewhere.
I am actually looking forward to NOTHING planned after Hebrew School on Sunday. (Saturday is a Bat Mitzvah.....)
Happy Thursday Y'all!
HUGS!!!!!!!
It is crappy when you have to motivate yourself to get to exercise and then your kids guilt you about it!! Just remind them it is to keep you healthy so that you can be around for them for many years to come! Get those meds, ok?? Call or text me if you need to....
MWAH!
Love, Beth

Maura I would never ever forget you!
I think that I am starting to see some light in the dark soace I have been in the last oh say month+. There was some major headway last night in which the door opened or should I say my mouth opened. It felt good to talk things through with my best friend. Afterwards we went out to a nice Mexican dinner. Came home we curled up together onteh sofa to watch Survivior then American Idol.
Today had me overskeep for the gym cause the alram did not go off so I woke uo when I was suppose to be at the gym. I took it as a sign my body needed the rest but it was good cause I talked to a friend for awhile then got dressed came to work. Just hit me I forgot Dennis' pants to take to the cleaner whoops I will bring them tomorrow. After work tonight plan is to make dinner then veg out with Den.
Almost time for vacation!
Life is good!
