Okie dokie, this is my 3rd attempt to post today! Now that it is just Ds and me awake (both of us being the resident night owls.....)Maybe, just maybe I can get a post in!
Kerry- sounds as though your meeting went ok, despite the delays and difficulties. And I hope your weekend turns out as well as it seems as it will be- I am so impressed with your upbeat "looking foward to the weekend". My line would be more like "dragging my can into the weekend
" or something poetic like that... How nice that your lesson plan is done for next week- which means that this weekend is yours to enjoy!!!! Hope you can sneak in some "Kerry" time, and of course, time at Curves too.
Pam, how did the visit with the ENT go???? Any answers? (praying for you!)
Love your story about the future Idol contestant. Somehow you have to find a way to harness his "energy" to help cope with him!
Tammy- hope your body clock got reset.....I am wondering how your could sleep after a walk?! (my walk is usually like taking a cold shower and I can't sleep for hours) A wise man your Dh is letting you sleep.....very wise indeed. And how nice for you! Get all your work done?
Robyn- congrats on all the progress with your kids!!!! Bet that makes you feel good! BTW- you gotta come up with another lunch idea. How many points do you allow yourself for lunch usually????? "Ennui" will kill ya- perhaps I can help you avoid that. Now your end of the week approach is more like mine.......please, lets just get this crummy week over
!
Mouse- hope your trip tomorrow goes well. (hey, whaddya mean if the bus shows up.......I could drive down and take you!hehehe
) Good news for you about your endocrinologist and the billing, merciful doctors are so appreciated (and rare!). Hope you get your swim/gym time in this weekend.
As far as feeding our felines- well Fidget (who earns that name more each day) eats like a bird, and only till she is full. I could have the "bottomless" bowl of dry food out for her and it would be fine. Miss Piggy- aka RC eats, and eats and eats. She is fat- we have her excellency on reduced calorie cat food (Fidgie is on kitten food)- and as soon as she finishes her measured portion of diet stuff she sticks her fat face in Fidget's bowl- which I then must hide. (great run on sentence, Ginny). So I am afraid I am stuck with the 4 am alarm clock. Good thing that Dh likes Fidgie or she would be road kill outside my house. (just kidding).
Survived today. Monsters are beginning to act up- tomorrow the crabby bus driver will emerge. Had to pull over and shut down to gain some semblence of control- and still immediately after I started up again chaos broke out. This seating chart is only one week old (new world record for the shortest lasting seating chart). My biggest problem is that my route is largely 3rd graders- very few kindergarteners and5th graders. The kindergarteners are great because they are usually so intimidated the first year that they dare not misbehave (and the parents still have a high level of interest in behavior).
The 5th graders at least know the rules, and well, until spring show some self control. But I have way, way too many off the wall 3rd and 4th graders- they are seated in the back of the bus- too far back for my personal comfort- but I have no room elsewhere and someone has to sit in the back. So I am stuck....but somehow will prevail. I have 3 charming gentlemen who will find themselves sitting in "Row 1" tomorrow am- and it will not please them one bit. Oh well......
I sprained my ankle this am- oh, I usually do thisonce a year- I was doing a wee bit too much multitasking this am and fell. Banged my knee too- took 2 advil and kept on ticking. The ankle is a bit swollen- but I have functioned pretty well with it for today. (happened at 7:30 this am). It had better not keep me from my walk/tape tomorrow. You will hear me screaming if it does.
Lets see.....this weekend, Ds has a double header- and now that he drives that helps a ton. Dd has a soccer game, so I will be there. After that I was asked to drive the HS band to the homecoming parade......(2 1/2 hours pay for aboat 15 minutes total driving- a win- win in my book! we need the$$$).
I think I get to stay downtown and watch the parade....buy myself a coffee...there are some occasional advantages to this job. Dh????? Anyone want to guess where he will be????? Nah, not the dog house- but at Dd's double header. Actually it is the last game (s) he or any of us will be able to see, the next few weeks after this her team will be travelling too far to get to. So I should get to see Dh Sunday- which is better than last weekend, when I only saw him sleeping after he watched a gazillion baseball games.
SO- shut up Ginny- get some sleep, I am sure you are all sick of my mindless babblings.....Happy friday!
Ginny
