Hello ladies! Everyone's been asking about work - I go back full time on Monday and students start on Thursday. I'm ready. My classroom looks FABULOUS!
I also have been exercising. I know you ladies think I'm an odd duck when it comes to this stuff, but I have to be really careful about how much I share about things like weight lost or gained or exercise or what I've eaten. For so long, I fed my eating disorder by living and dying by the scale and food lists and exercise bulimia. I need to be careful to not trigger it again. I know some of you don't understand, but I know that your are understanding. Does that make an ounce of sense?
Jennelle-Like Gayle says, do whatever works for you.
Did I say that I missed the principal when she was gone? Should I mention that I would like for her to go away again??? Can you tell that she was back to her normal self yesterday?
It has been raining quite a bit here, so I haven't run in 3 days. I am going to go out this morning, then I'm going for a trim on my hair. I think I'm going to let it stay longer. It has grown out quite a bit, and I normally take off 3 or 4 inches, but I think I will just have her take off 1 or 2. Since I have been using the straightening iron, it is not as curly as it used to be. 1 side stays straighter than the other when I just wash and let it go. I need her to cut it so that it curls correctly again. I wished for straight hair for all my life, and now I want it curly again! I never thought I would be saying such a thing. I actually want it both ways.
Haven't been on lately b/c computer problems and having Phlebitis around my knee which has been so painful.
Glad to see everyone is really working to stay healthy and giving each other the support they need.
Shelley...That is great starting up a Red Hat club it can be quiet fun, next weekend we are going to a Tea Parlor which sounds like so much fun.
Everyone have a good week and i promise to be good a post more often ....
I'm here & alive. I've been bad for "lurking" and not posting. I didn't want to bring everyone down just because I was.I'm having a very hard time getting back OP 100% and been kind of depressed. I think it's because of all the painting, moving, etc. and no vacation this year. And now it's almost time to go back to school.I think all of it together has taken it's toll on me. But I was in better spirits today..so that's a good sign. I promise to post more and not leave my friends out when I'm feeling blue & sorry for myself. Thanks to everyone who has asked about me. Carol..thanks for the sweet email.
Guess who I have with me? I have Katelyn (Debbie's GrandDaughter). She's spending the night with me and I'm taking her to the wave pool tomorrow. Should be fun! I forgot how little ones are. She's so funny and talks our ears off!
Better get off here and put her to bed. I'll post again tomorrow.
Sherry-I know how you feel. It must be so hard for you to have to not lurk because you are the moderator and depended on so much. Enjoy your time with Katelyn and your last few days of vacation. I am so sorry that you are going through a rough time with depression.
Vicki-Your knee sounds painful. Please get well soon and do what you have to do as far as staying off your leg.
Doni-Good to hear from you. This thing is very scary. My brother and his family live in NY.
Sherry, so glad you dropped in to say hello...I hope you and Katelyn have a wonderful time. There's nothing like having a child around to lift the spirits!!!!
I just wanted to share with you all that Dan called this morning from Iraq. He wanted to let me know that when he gets back next spring, he and his girlfriend are getting married. I'm going to be a mother-in-law!!!! I hope I can be as good a MIL as mine was!
Gotta get back to work now, but I'll try to get back on tonight. I desperately need some help getting OP!!!!!!
Ramona: Congratulations... wonderful news. I am sure you will be a wonderful mother in law!!!
Shelley: You had such high hopes of things being better between you and your supervisor. I am sorry to hear things are not going as you hoped. Maybe she is stressing too, with the new year beginning... and maybe it will get better again. We can hope!!
Tina: Glad you stopped by to say hello. Hello back at ya girl.
Doni: I love survivor.. Can't wait for the next show to start. Anybody watching the Big Brother 5 show??
Vicki: I am glad your computer is up and running again. Hope your knee feels better soon.
Sherry: So glad you came back to post. You were missed so very much. I am sure your will be back OP in no time... you just need a little time to catch your breath and get some kind of normalcy back in your life... Missed you.. hugs...
Debbie: I know you are very busy, but try to drop us a note to say your alive and well. I miss you. How is your mom and dad doing???
Gayle: You have been gone a couple of days... how are you doing..
Gotta go do some bookwork for the farm, so I better get busy. Take care everyone.. Hope to see everyone back and posting soon.
My brother is having knee surgery tomorrow. Say a little prayer for him please.
Glad to see you post Sherry. I have missed you.
I love survivor and big brother. I am a reality show junkie.
Oh yeah another prayer request please. My dog of 15 years is not doing well. If he makes it thru the night we may have to put him to sleep. I knew the time would come but I still am having a hard time. He was my first baby. I just pray that he does not suffer.
My hubbie and I will be celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary Thursday. My dad is gonna keep the kids so we can go out to dinner. Looking forward to a meal by ourselves.
Gotta get ready for bed. Hope everyone has a great day.
Tina
