Hi ladies,
TGIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!! wooohooo!!
Welcome Marleah to the funny farm.
Most of us here are either currently dealing with clinical depression or have dealt with it in the past. This time of year can be especially hard.. and you are right. Gaining doesn't make me jolly either
Tip, now I never bit off anyone's fingertip going for a cookie.. but there was the one time I got part of a fingernail.
Yes Leens, 3 carrots for every cookie.. make sure they are BIG carrots too. One the 3FC main page, they have a large list of Holiday Eating tips.. good place to gather ammunition BEFORE those blasted meals come around.
Lizzy, I wanna know how you avoid fighting with your mother. I don't fight with mine, but boy oh boy.. can she push my buttons!! I suppose parents are best at pushing them, since they had a hand in the installation of a lot of them.. so they know where they are
Kem, hope you don't have to sleep on the floor! My idea of camping is staying at Best Western instead of the Marriott.
Hi April
Amber, glad you posted. I am very familiar with having to stay with a job I don't like just because of the money. As the only breadwinner in my house ( Kittycat won't work), if I don't work.. there is NO money coming in. My current situation has been far less than desirable for nearly 18 months now, but with the ecomony as it is you have to grin and bear it. I try and look at the positive aspects of the job... some co-workers I like, learning new things that will benefit me in my next job, the fact that I HAVE income where a lot of people don't. I don't dwell on the fact that I have no health benefits, no vacation or sick time and can be let go at a moments notice. Those things do crop up and bug me from time to time, but my life is a lot less miserable if I stay away from thinking about them very often. Try changing your perspective a bit.. worked for me... and I keep a bottle of Maalox at my desk!
Weekend will be chores, church, cooking, cuddling and playing with kitty, napping, watching movies, maybe a bit of shopping. I want to leave now.
