Good Morning the day before Hump day and for Hump Day also. I am taking a vacay day Wednesday and going fishing with my man. Indian summer here also. Tomorrow hi is 80 and sunny!! Just to enjoy some down time together. It is so much fun. Might take Sass-a-roo with us. Have not decided on that one yet.

Last night was pretty low key. Made tacos for dinner, cleaned the kitchen and did a load of laundry. Nothing much else, held Sass in the lazyboy for a bit till she got too wild for just sitting. Likes to run and play. She chases me from the living room to the hallway, nose dives, rolls, then flips over on her back in front of you. Way too cute.

CEEG....welcome back safe and sound. Lets see 4lbs 24 oz is like 5lbs 8 oz, isn't it? Anyway, glad momma and babe are doing well. Indian Summer here too!

LAURA...howdy right back at cha. Have fun on vacay.

SHADDIE...sorry to hear of your sleep woes, but can relate more than I would like to admit...might try a half of a tylenol PM. Much more than that and I drag the next day.

MELLIE...we are having fantabulous weather this week. 80s all week long then come Sunday the high will be 40. Blah. Not much of a cocoa fan but will join you with a chai tea. You are going to love the chicken, omgoodness my mouth is watering just thinking about it. YUM.

Hellos to the rest of yas.

Have a marvelous Tues/Weds.
Loves and hugs

Hi all
Heard from my neice this morning. The babies glucose level is not where the doctor wants it to be so they have taken her premie care just in case they need to start and i.v. My neice is kinda upset cause she can't be with her. I haven't heard from her this afternoon. Got tickled at her this morning at a comment about the dad had to change her diaper.

[Shad]

Ceejay - sounds like what the DS1 went through with granddaughter. All will become good given time. At least she is in a place where help will be given when needed. Tell Mum to relax and vege out until she has the baby back. It might be the last rest she gets for a while. If she panics about it then she will end up like the DS1's partner - weird!

[annie175]

Girls....I am struggling with a couple of things and need your support and love. First...I have quit drinking...joined AA...even tho it is not that bad, just wanted the support. Secondly...I hate my job so badly I am willing to take a severe cut in pay just to get away from it. C supports me, but it is killing me. My job..is not my new management but the associates in my office making my life miserable. I am so sorry to dump on you all and know that there are more serious things in life to worry about...i.e...CHELLE...you need the support more than I...hugs

Hello Ladies,

Finally getting some time to post. I had a great trip to Chicago, my return flight was delayed, I didn't get home until 2:45AM and had to be at work at 8:30am to give a 9AM presentation. This weekend went on a first date, don't know if i'll have another one. On sunday laundry etc. Monday night went to the Dallas Arbortum and saw a Chihuly exhibit, he does glass installations. Very beautiful. Today and tomorrow work conference... I wonder when I am going to get any work done. Oh, well.

Annie - Always here to support you, If you feel AA is what you need than I am happy for your decision. I am so sorry to hear about the dram about your job. Is there anything you can do, maybe talk to HR? Makes a long day when you hate your job. Hang in there sweetie..

Ceejay - congrats on your grand niece..I will keep her in my prayers..

Mel - Your picture for dinner looks yummy...

Happy - glad your getting some time with your mom.

Laura - have you taken your trip yet? If no, safe travels. If yes, I hope you had a good visit.

Shad - I hope your having a better day.

Mitchellez - sending you hugs..

[Shad]

Annie - I am sure there is support and love here enough to go around. for both you and Michelle.
I didn't realise you were a heavy drinker. That can certainly add to depression and feelings of failure.
Just let it all hang and we will have to see what can be done about your job. I'm sure there must be other things you can do.

[Shad]

Mel - I wish I was there for dinner. Instead I will go home to pork chop, mash, peas and onions. Can you tell I am running out of food in preparation to going home this weekend. Can't wait. Although today has been more productive than others. I actually feel somewhat wanted today.

Patty - sounds like you and Laura had fun at the restaurant and had a good chat. Well done. Hope you get to meet some more chicks along the way.

Slept much better last night. Hope that carries on tonight. Better run along to the loo and get mentally prepared to get out of here in the 16:21 rush. That's the time everyone leaves around here.

[MELODY525]

Morning all. Quick hello. Back in the office after my long weekend visiting my mom. I'll have to catch up on the posts later. I couldn't get into my e-mail via my smart phone while I was gone so I have a bunch of catching up to do.

Having lunch with a friend who was in town just overnight, leaves today around 2-ish. She's strange so this will be interesting, to say the least.

I have this "something" going on in my throat that is making me cough like crazy. It's like I was fighting a cold and taking cold-eze and then it just settled in my throat. Didn't hurt, just a bit of congestion in there for a couple days, but now I'm coughing. Nothing much comes up, but what does is not clear, so I'm going to the walgreens clinic at some point today to get it checked out. I feel fine otherwise, but I've been coughing for a week now and gone through a jillion cough drops and drank water up to my eyeballs. So done with this.

Okay, done whining. Meeting at 10. Off to the restroom first. TTFN!

[ceejay52]

Laura
Hope you feel better. The tree pollen in the Springfield area is extremely high.

Annie
Good for you in taking time to take care of yourself. We are diffinately here for you.

Shad
I know you will be glad to get back home. However, your dinner of pork chops sounds good.

Mel
Good idea to stay out of the office drama. I'm going to check in to the meditation.

Michelle
we miss you but know that you are busy.

Patty
My sis usually takes me to the Arboredum (sp) while I'm visiting. It's a beautiful place. Glad you are back home.

Baby and mother are doing better. My neice was able to walk on her own this morning and she's happy to have got to nurse the baby as well. She said she held her almost two hours. After Annie's ordeal with her gs I realized this would probably happen.

[1day@atime]

Hello Ladies,

posting 2 days in a row...

Mel - Thanks for letting us know about the meditation. I did the last one and I loved it. Nov. 5th.. I will have to make note on my calendar.

Laura - glad you had a good visit with your mother. I hope you have a good visit with your friend... maybe she will surprise you..

Ceejay - So happy that your niece was able to hold her baby girl. Keeping her in prayers.

Shad - your dinner sounds good too. Yes, it was a good visit with Laura, she has a beautiful home and wonderful man... and cute puppy dog...

Another day of training. The weather is beautiful here, we are expecting a cold front this weekend.

[MELODY525]

GOOD MORNING LADIES OF THE WORLD

THE MEETINGS WENT ON FOREVER.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE WEEK WAS GOING TO NICELY FOR IT TO LAST.

THE DRAMA HAS COME TO A HEAD AND DEALT WITH LAST NIGHT.
I WENT DOWN 2 HRS EARLY TO COACH A FRIEND.
PROPER WORDING AND ALL THAT.
THANK GOD IT WORKED AND SHE DID FINE...MORE THAN FINE.
I AM VERY PROUD OF HER THAT SHE STOOD HER GROUND.

EVERYTHING WAS OFF THE RECORD AND IN A PRIVATE OFFICE.
NOW THERE IS ONE THING LEFT TO DO AND "HE" BETTER DO IT.
THEN ALL SHOULD BE BACK TO OUR VERSION OF NORMAL DISFUNCTIONALITY.

I FEEL RELIEVED AND I IMAGINE SHE WILL TOO.
BIG WEIGHT LIFTED OFF HER SHOULDERS AND OUT OF HER FILE TOO.
ALLS WELL THAT ENDS WELL.

IT'S RAINING FOR A CHANGE AND JEN IS GOING TO THE STORE.
WE JUST NEED A FEW WEEKEND GOODIES.
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY




CEEJAY.....I HOPE YOU DO LOOK INTO IT.
MEDITATION IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL & ALL THAT AILS US.
I ONCE THOUGHT IT WAS STUPID AND "FOREIGN"....
BUT NOW LOVE HOW I FEEL AS THE DAYS GO ON.
I AM SO GLAD TO HEAR MOM & BABE ARE DOING SO WELL.
I LOVE NEW BABIES!!





LAURA.....MAKE SURE YOU DO GET THAT THROAT LOOKED AT.
DON'T MAKE ME COME THERE AND HURT YOU
HOME TOO!!! WE MISS OUR CHICKS WHEN THEY ARE MISSING
HOPE THE LUNCH WITH A "STRANGE" FRIEND WAS OK
YOU MADE ME LAUGH WITH THAT ONE.
I DON'T THINK I KNOW ANY NORMAL PEOPLE NOW I THINK OF IT!
HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON




PATTY....I LOVED THE LAST ONE....WHICH WAS MY FIRST TIME
MEDITATING ON A REGULAR BASIS.
HOPE YOU GET TIME TO DO THIS ONE TOO. WE ARE WORTH IT
SEND ME SOME OF THAT GOOD WEATHER......OURS IS TOO SOGGY



SENDING LOVE OUT TO OUR MISSING FRIENDS.
STAY STRONG AND TAKE TIME OUT TO BE GENTLE TO YOURSELVES
