Tammy,

The light is on. Boy, wouldn't we get into some trouble being in the same town. :)
How is Mr. Tim doing?

Susan

Hi Girls!
Thanks for the support and advice! Yes, she is duragned! (sp?) Yes Tina her daughter is in my sons class but there's no problem there. See, it's kind of a long story but we use to get along. We were monitores together this yr. at school. lunch monitors. Well, she and her friend decided they had a problem w/me for some unknown reason. The woman that is giving me a hard time was evidentally upset because she wanted to be on the PTA spirit day committee w/her friend. Well, the pta president put myself and my friend w/her instead. So one day she commented to me that she hated the pta president and that no one had the right to put anyone on her friends committee. Which by the way, it's noones committee. From then on the 2 of them would come in and stare and me and try to intimidate me. Her friend actually came in and accused me of not giving her kid milk money at lunch time. See, there a cabinet that we keep a lock box in that we can loan the kids lunch money. Well, there's also a box that has milk change in it too but I didn't know that. This is my first yr. monitoring. Besides the fact that I wouldn never deny a child milk money if I knew it was there. Anyway, from then on whenever I worked w/her we didn't talk. One day my friend Sandy who is another monitor told me to tell her she could take her position full time. This lady didn't want to work there, she actually quit last yr. and the principle asked her to reconsider. So she was splitting the shift w/this Sandy. They had it planned that Sandy would take over f/t in Novmber but she could start early. So I delivered the message for her to call Sandy and talk directly to her about it. Sandy showed up at lunch time and told her herself and the next thing I know this woman came up to me and said"you got your wish, I'm gone!" I told her her and her friend needed to stay away from me. She proceeded to follow me on the playground and yell at me infront of the kids. I went directly to the principles office and told him what was going on (I was so angry I was shaking and crying) she then came in and started telling him all sorts of lies. When I called her a liar to her face she left the room clocked out and quit. There....hhh...that's the story! Now she has it out for me still and I've not lost an ounce of sleep over it but she evidentally has. The funny thing is she said to the principle that she was 44 yrs old and didnt' have time for this petty stuff! Look what she's doing now.

Tammy, where do you live in Ohio? I'd love for you to bring the tp! ;) Would you still tell the principle what's going on? Where do you teach?

Sherry,
That is quite a story. You have had a real problem. I'm so sorry.
Dealing with other parents is not easy, especially HER.
Stay as calm as possible. When you don't stoop to their level, it helps.

Tina

good afternoon all

Just checking in for the day. Managed to stick to program on the weekend but it sure is hard sometimes. But one day at a time I'll do this. I've done it before so I know it's doable. Stick with it ladies

thanks for being here

maureen

Thanks Tina! yep, quite a story! That's exactly what I'm trying to do...not stoop to her level. My DH and I figure the more I don't say anything the more it'll bug her. :D So that's the plan!

Susan, I could just imagine us being in the same town. It wouldn't be safe for anyone!!!

Tim is doing great. He's working again tonight. Tomorrow night is the first Academic Team match for the year. He is psyched up for it.

Wow Sherry! I'm glad that lady isn't going to be there anymore, but you still need to watch out for her. You never know what kind of things people will do. I teach in Arcanum, we're northwest of Dayton.

Tammy, Tim amazes me. How many hours a week is he working?

Sherry, What a nut case!!! Stay away from her.

Maureen, good job girl! It's good to see you posting.

Tina, How is Smokey?

Pat worked from home today. It was nice to have him home. It was very overcast and was depressing. I certainly didn't need any help with that.

Susan

It's Election Day!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll be sooooooo happy not to see all the ads on TV. I know y'all agree with me, don't you? :) :lol:

Tammy, how was your Emmaus Walk this year? Did you cry lots of tears? I hope you stayed warm and didn't get too fatigued.

Susan, I'm glad Pat worked from home. You needed the company. I so wish we were a little closer. You know, if we weren't in TX, we would be closer. Ours is such an enormous state! I'd like to be there to hug you.

Sherry, keep your chin up.
Mimi, our weather should be getting lots cooler by tonight.

Maureen, you have such great will-power. You will do sooooo good OP this time. When it gets really cold, do you continue to walk to work?

Does anyone have any good recipes for anything ? I'm so tired of the same old things I fix. :D
Tina

hi all

daily check in. Yes Tina I walk every morning(just 15-20 min) but if we get a deep freeze like we did last year I'll take a cab. I've managed to get quite a bit of walking in already today. So I feel good. take care all & I'll be here tomorrow

maureen

Happy Tuesday girls! Did you all get out to vote? I did! Thank you for all the support! I know she's someone I need to look out for. My girlfriends think she's bipolar or something?! LOL! But I am on the watch thank you!

What a crummy rainy day! Gloomy and rain all day! They had some of the city voting polls at our school and the rain didnt' stop anyone from coming out! I went in early this mng to help mydaughters grade (2nd) vote. It was so cute, the teachers had 2 booths set up and they had to fill out voter registration forms to hand to me and another mom before they could vote. Bush won....53 to 33. Good way to see how the parents are voting you know! ;)

Did my spinning class after work. I just love that class! And I'm right on pts today. But I'm thinking of going Core! LOL! Do any of you do that one? Do you like it?

Have a good night!

Howdy Folks ( as my 3 year old nephew says "Howdy Bolks"

We voted first thing this morning. I love voting!!!! There was just a few people where we vote at ( it's out in the country and I love it because there are never any lines)

It was a yucky day here too. Wet and gloomy. Today is All Soul's day so I went by the church and light a candle for Seamus. Told God to hold him until I get there and then I was never going to let him down. I have my Angel candle burning here at home. It's the one that was lite for him at his funeral.

I'm just barely hanging on food wise. I seem to eat most of my points early in the day and then have to just about strave in the evening. Need to get better at that. Haven't done the CORE program but my sister has and loved it. She did say it was very hard. Not sure about that.

I went and had lunch with a girlfriend today. I'm glad I did that. She is a one of my dearest friends.

Tina, I'm looking for new recipes too. Maybe we should do a swap. Everyone should post something yummy that they like to make. I'll have to think of something.

Maureen, how far do you have to walk?

Sherry, kids are so funny. You definitely know how their parents vote and think by comments they make.

Tammy, what's going on there?

susan

Hi everyone

Another day. Still sticking it to it. I'm just having my lunch now. Susan, I walk about 14 blocks to work every morning and usually I have to do the banking and that's about 8 blocks each way. Sometimes I get to go 2 or 3 times so I do manage a lot of walking.

Nothing very exiciting happening around here. Hope all of you are doing okay

talk to you tomorrow

maureen

Happy Thursday!
 

Mornin,

Well, today is one month that Seamus past away. It's hard to believe that it's already been that long but it seems like it's been an eternity already.

Maureen, you do get your exercise in walking. That's great. What's the weather like there?

Sherry, no loss is better than a gain. Which program are you doing? Where do you do your spin class at? People that I know that do them love them.

Tammy, how are you feeling? There was an add in the newspaper for fibromayalgia patients...... they are doing a study somewhere down here.

Tina, anything exciting going on in your next of the woods? It finally is going to be clear today. I'm so glad!

I'm going to exercise this morning and then really try hard to stick to program today.

Have a good one.
Susan

good morning all

Well another day in paradise!!! Sherry what are spinning classes(is this an exercise or it just hit me it could be some kind of weaving class)?

Tina, how are you doing?

Susan, the weather here is only 37 farenheit. I don't find it too bad(as long as it's not windy) but I know you southern belles would find it freezing.

So far I've almost finished my second week and I've been good. I've been weighing in friday on my lunch( I take the bus to the meeting and walk back). I don't stay for the meeting I just weigh in.

Well good luck on program and I'll be back tomorrow after I weigh in
