NM, I am so very sorry you are going through this. I concur with the other ladies here in saying that I know you care so much about your students and knowing they have betrayed you must hurt. I am wrapping my arms around you and giving you a big hug. Tell Sadie that she is very sweet for licking the tears away. I hope and pray that everything works out for you.
Kathy, sorry I never said that I hope your HD headache is gone, shame on me.
Have fun gals and dwink up!! Tittys up, tittys down, let's go tit friends, another round...CHEERZS!
ps....likker is now much cheaper than gasoline, so drink, don't drive

Ugly public school story...
DD (who has, admittedly, been truant in the past) missed a class this week due to spacing out (gets it from her mom)... the class schedule changes every day so I was impressed the kids make it to class as often as they do... anyway, she was assigned Saturday school for today. She was on the schedule at work so I suggested that since the "class" she missed was "work experience" she talk to the teacher and/or counselor and see if she could do detention on a different Saturday. NO! So, fearing that she would lose her job, or at least lose hours by not working on a busy Saturday, she found someone to take her place. She had to drive 25 miles RT to get this co-worker to sign a commitment notice that she would work the shift... ok so now she is forgiven by me at least and I'm proud she is dealing with it on her own... so she goes to detention at 8AM this morning... they are allowed one 15 minutes bathroom break at 10AM or so and then must stay in the classroom for the following 2 hours. She started her period and was bleeding through her clothes so she asked the vice principal who was on duty this weekend if she could go to the bathroom. He said, no there is never an exception. Of course a teenage girl who is embarrassed about bleeding through is not going to tell a man the situation but she begged him to let her go and said she just couldn't hold it. He told her that if she left she couldn't come back in and would have to do the full Saturday again next weekend. She tried to wait but she started shaking and crying and then left. She frantically searched the campus for an unlocked bathroom couldn't find one and had to drive home (fortunately it is close)... where she told me and I called the VP and left a scathing voicemail letting him know that this is unacceptable and I will be calling the district office Monday morning... also suggested that if he wants to explain why he abused my daughter he should call us before we speak to an attorney. DH is also fuming, which is out of character.

Hi all.....
It's been years since I slept as much as I did this morning. Nothing during chemo came close. Hopefully, have rounded the corner. Some sort of flu, so am getting next year's immunization in advance. Anyway, in case I ever complain about getting a flu shot, remind me of this one. It's going around the world. My former business partner told me that one lady who works in Switzerland in one of the major banks there (a client of hers) just went home to her mother's in Germany. She has been that ill for weeks.
NM.....this one sucks, but my take is that it will spur you on to something more lucrative, enjoyable, and a better fit. That would all be good news. So could be a major blessing. You have options. Not everyone does. I do know that a lot of what looks like one of life's blows turns out to be a wonderful thing. It all depends on how you approach things.
The news story that takes my breath away is the tour bus crash in NYC. Some jackass tractor trailor driver caused the bus to swerve. It hit a pole, split in 2, and at least a dozen people died. This should never have happened.
I can't feel too sorry for the person in CA. I mean you can't have missed the warnings, and if you go down to the beach to watch. Well...... (I don't go skiing the backcountry trails when the avalanche warnings are up either.) I am sorry about the damage, but again this pales compared to what happened in Japan.
Gail......boring jazz at winery???? What sort of place is that? Another reason to visit Tasting Room here in Seattle. Great wine, and often free music. $4 pours of good stuff Thursday evenings. Board games if you are bored. Seriously. Just the most fun place. Dogs wandering around.
I need to get dressed and head out for milk, cough syrup, Kleenex, soup, eggs, and a few other items. Maybe the cough syrup will scare these nasties away.
Talk to you later. Lavender drink sounds delish. Will need to look for them around June as this is a major lavender-producing area. Right now, think I will buy some spring flowers on my trip out. - Claire

The jazz was organ-driven and had too much of a synchronized sound and a rythmic beat for me. I like traditional jazz. The winery was dark and the music was so loud you couldn't talk to the person sitting next to you. It's not my favorite winery cuz their pinot is awful so I had to make do with syrah... and it wasn't even good syrah. There was no tasting, just pours for $8- $10/glass. Tasting here is usually much more fun and the wineries are more generous. I'd like to travel back up to coast again... we're going to Portland next month but probably won't get up to Seattle
maybe I'll have to have one of those solo vacations...0 -
Astorm - that is totally inhuman!!! What on earth were they thinking?? I always thought it was so shameful to make students ask if they can go to the bathroom? That is one thing I so love about the school two of my kids go to. It is a private school so lots of money, but they are so respectful of the kids and therefore the teachers are well respected. They would NEVER have to ask to go to the bathroom even the first graders may go when needed. That is just so wrong on so many levels! Your poor daughter how humilating and abusive. And then to have locked bathrooms - I know it is public school but come on --- on a Saturday and so few people there??? Then to top if off to have lost a day at work and all she went through.... Wow, they have a lot of apologizing to do. I mean especially a teenager.... Oh that is really ugly and awful - I'm so sorry. What a horrid day!

Gail, Sheesh your poor DD...what a horrid experience. SO glad you are supporting her and confronting that jacka$$ who wouldn't even let her go to the bathroom. Dang that makes me SO mad.....and your DD had gone out of her way to try to do the right thing with work and all.....poor dear. Glad she has a good mommy to come home to! (((HUGS)))
Dorothy, No you don't need to mention DH's headache, but that was sweet of you anyway. He gets them every day, but the fact that he had a beer at lunch KNOWING he would have a headache sorta pissed me off. He really does have horrid ones daily but when he does something to bring it on....aarrggghhhhh! I like your rhyme at the end.... "tittys up, tittys down, etc."! And you are so right...think we can pour cheap likker in the gas tank?
Stanzie, i had forgotten about the rebates, but it was in the newspaper that there was still money left. You could just check online to see if you still have any money left in GA. Timely that the article came out THE DAY we bought the d/w! Hope your BIL can tolerate all the tx....wishing him the best.
Claire, I didn't hear about that tour bus....so sad.
Such a gawgeous day here today...blue sunny skies and WARM....yay! Cheers girlz!

Dorthy - wut up Dotty? Sorry I missed the dwinks last night I had my neighbor over for happy hour(s) - he he he! So how old is Pants this year? We really shud find out and give him a partee. So nice to get your pool uncovered and ready for a party, can I come and wear one of those pink leopard bikinis that Kymn posted? With my leopard lips and nails? So glad you are getting happy again, I'm so glad you sound good today chickee baby.
Wahine - I have also been upset about the earthquake and tsunami, feeling so badly for the people and their families and friends. That would be fun to know Japanese and hear how badly people in US say the words...here in WA we have so many Native American names for things. When I moved here I was really struggling with how to pronounce all these words...I still proly say them wrong.
Stanzie - what a jerk at that craft fair...prices too high, grumpy seller not making any $$ and blaming you when you were just being polite. Glad to hear there is a treatment plan for your BIL, I will be wishing all the best!!!
Claire - we saw news reports of Seattle, looked pretty stormy - glad you are okay. Yes, I'm feeling so awful for the people in Japan, what a horror! Hope that creeping crud creeps away soon, so sorry you are still feeling bad. Hey BTW I'll be in Seattle again mid May to get my boobies smashed and get poked. Don't know if you'll be around, but it would be fun to meet sometime. Nice words to NM, too, yes sometimes it's best to move on and so glad she has options.
AStorm - wow, sounds like it hit hard where you are, but glad to hear you are okay and got some wine tasting in. We also heard about one lost who was swept to sea, so sad. Love your new avatar - stayin alive!!! Perfect! LOL tamoxifatty! I liked Throw Mamma from the Train as I recall, but haven't seen it for ages. Just read about your DD with horror! I can't believe what idiot would not let her use the rest room, that is just awful and I'm glad you put him on notice, that is horribly abusive. I'm so sorry for your DD that she had to be treated that way.
Chrissy - couldn't wake Dotty up...we'll have to keep her up late tonight to make up for it!
Goldie - That is so awfully expensive! I wish I knew how to help, can you negotiate with the provider to get the cost down at least. Those tests are important. Also I'm sorry the allergies are hitting so hard, yucko! I love the lavender cocktail, that sounds so nice and springy! The sun is out today melting the snow/ice so I'm really enjoying a lavender cocktail!! So pretty.
NM - SH*T!! sorry to hear you got bad news at work...so many like the dumbed down version and will put up a fight when someone good tries to uphold standards and actually do a good job. I will be thinking of you and hope you don't let this bum you out. You are a fantastic person and WTF??? scared of you??? That is so unbelievably weird. Big hugs to you from me too! Please don't stay away, I would love for you to rant here about such idiocy!!! That sucks to think you will be nervous at every word, so hard to work where you feel like you are walking on eggshells. I really hear you about being tired of all those worries, since 08 we have surely felt the bite of the re(de)pression. You are so wonderful to care so much and to have deep feelings about things. I'm so glad you have Sadie there, so sweet to lick the tears and cheer you up. I agree with Stanzie, looking back some of the toughest teachers were the ones I learned the most from and years later have such respect for! They weren't pushing FLUFF! AStorm is right on too, that this just means you are doing a good job!
Adey - Wanted to say "HI" and love your avatar, that is so fun and colorful!! Hope you will stick around and enjoy some dwinks wif us!
Well I've def moved on from the fam BS. I called the builder again about our cabin and hope he gets back to me. I'm nervous, but also excited. Things are okay for me right now which always makes me really nervous. Better head for a drink, going to the pool to look for junie and HD, will anyone else join me? La la la Lavendar, yummy!!
cHairs and dog beers!!!

Beanius, great idea, we will have a pink leopard party. We have two bus trips this week and the htl party bus is getting filled with likker as we speak!! So glad you are feeling better. ♥ you!
AStorm, unbelievable story. I hope your DD does not have a repeat detention, so unfair of that man to put her through such anguish. Karma will get him. I hope he is subject to disciplinary action over this incident. Hugs to your DD. Not easy being a teen.
Stanize, so great to hear positive news for your BIL. I will pray for him to get through this with ease and to get well.
Hello to Addey, where are my manners, AGAIN? Darn booze, I blame it everytime.
Claire, glad you are on the upside of this. Will be sure to remind you to get that flu shot next year, sorry you are suffering.
Kathy, where are you? I am here and am diggin the smell of Lavender. Ahhhhhh.....so relaxing!!
NM, hope you are doing alright. Try to smile and rest assured that things do happen for a reason.
God Bless you all. Now letzzz dwink!!!

Good evening, loungettes! I have spent the day doing a lot of thinking and a lot of crying, but I've come to a conclusion. When my teaching contract is up in May I'm getting out of teaching. I can see the trend in university level education of students running the show more and more. I can't compromise my expectations and standards. The two don't go together, so it's time for me to go back to bedside nursing and get back into making a decent wage again. I've done some looking around and have half a dozen applications ready to go out in the mail Monday on the way to work. I'll bust my butt making the rest of this semester work out a best I can, but then I'm done. A really wise doctor I once worked with used to say that when the staff was working harder than the patient for the patient to get better, something was wrong with the situation. Well, I've been working harder than the students for them to learn and do well, so it's time to change the situation. Not to mention that I'm tired of scrimping and scrounging and depending on extra work to make ends meet.
I want to say thank you to all of you for your support. I want to thank Pants and Jocks for all the drinks, foot rubs and massages they've given me today. I'm definately going to have to pull up my big girl panties and make things look good from now until May 31st. Gonna be hard, but what in life isn't. huh?
So, how about a really good drink of the evening? One appropriate to my moderately miserable state of mind (I'll feel better tomorrow, don't worry)? How about The Gold, The Bad, and The Ugly?
1 1/2 oz Coffee Liqueur
1 1/2 oz Goldschlager
1 oz Irish Cream
(Fill to Top) Milk
Best served in a Pilsner Glass.Pour the kahlua and bailey's irish cream into a glass. Fill most of the glass with milk, leaving enough room for the goldschlager. Float the goldschlager using the back of a spoon.

Back from the supermarket run for cough syrup, milk and such. Decided to try the Nutella brioche cure as hadn't had anything other than tea all day. Tastes delish.
Gail.... I am hoping that the assistant principal gets caught with an inappropriate erection. How about being up in front of a group of people with a ginormous bulge.....and he can't go anywhere!! That would be an appropriate fate considering what he did to your daughter. I can certainly remember the time I bled through to my chair in 6th Grade. I was the first in my class, and really hadn't been given enough info from my mother. Think I was caught in a class too, so would have been difficult to leave in the middle. Later on, I learned to plan, and then excuse myself from meetings if that in need.
Did I mention I don't miss having my period one bit. And for anyone who got shoved into menopause early, PMS in your 40s and 50s is the pits too. For example, I can safely wear white jeans, and it is wonderful to have consistent energy. The only downside is that I no longer get cleaning frenzies.
Beans.....will be here in May, except a couple of days the first week. Would love to do wine.
NM.....My counsel to you was based on my own personal experience as 9 years ago got in a game of sucker's choice. I got the better option which was being downsized, as opposed to failing the task I was set up to fail. Life has been different, and it did impact me financially, but on the whole a lot more rewarding. Plus, I got to use different skills and talents that I never would have used otherwise. I am also doing work that is a better fit for my skills and talents than some of the other options would have been.
At the end of the day, the upshot will be more satisfying work, more worry, a different life than otherwise, and needing to work a bit longer.
Will rejoin the party later. Think I am ready for another lie-down. - Claire

YAY NM, good to see you back! By that, I mean back to your wonderful self! You found some good funnies, sums up the situation...LOL! So glad you have a game plan and ALREADY have applications ready for the mail...wow you work fast, girlfriend! Sounds like a good plan and that this is what was meant to be. I am dwinking asti champagne with peach schnapps cause this sounds like a celebration to me! Hmmmmm.....that dwink you posted looks good too. I have never (well I don't think I have!) had the Goldschlager.....is that some sort of lager? Interesting! Oops....gotta run and show DH which side of the camellia to place towards us. Back in a jiff. K
Ok, back, that was quick. Dorothy, I am right here dwinking with you! You're right, lets dwink!!!
Beans, Very cute byline...didn't notice it till the others mentioned it! If you decide to have the cabin built, we need a girls weekend there so we can all dwink and not have to drive! OF course this needs to be AFTER it is finished, or it will be a work weekend... and thats not fun
I am wishing you the very best on that decision!!!!Okay, chug-a-lug time......one, two three......

Thanks for the support re: DD and that bad man. I was thinking he needs to be forced to eat Exlax and then lock him in a classroom full of parents and peers until he sh!ts himself but I like your idea too, Claire.
0 -
Gail, you made me laugh hard, "until he shits himself"..still laughing! FYI, I hope he shits himself too.
Say, do ya girls wanna take a road trip on the bus to... ^edited - (thanks Kathy) GAIL's DD's school? Heck, we will be traveling to Kathy and Kymn this week, why not take a detour to CA? We can spike the sob's coffee with ex lax?? I am sooooo in. As I said, karma will get this wicked bad man. I hope that his dick stops working too. Take that, jerk!
Sorry but potty humor is amusing to this simple mind. CHeerz!!!!!!
0 -
Oh Dotty, Youse been in da booze! I was first wondering what happened to Stanzie's DD, but then realized you meant Gail's DD. Road trip would be good, but Kymn and I will prolly have to stay put. Don't you have some "people" you can send over to take care of that SOB VP? I am so glad you all are coming over to be with me on Monday!!! Just be really teeny tiny so the PS won't see you and kick you all out, okay? And bring in the teeny bottles of likker too! I think I got some of the creepy crud going around, or Lori's allergies. Used prob a whole box of kleenex the past hour or two, and my nose is so bloody it is gettinng all over everything. Sorry....TMI, I know that, but I feel like $hit....now I realize what you have been going through Lori...I forgot how miserable it is to be all sinusy, congested, runny nosy, etc. Yucko! And the headache that goes with it.
Hope youse galz are having a good Saturday night! Hope SNL will be good tonight.....ciao! sniffle...

i need potty humor!!!! ha ha ha!!!!

Hi Wahine.....
Sure sounds like what I have. I didn't mention the headache part. Plus I have had a lot more fever in the past day or so. Talk about being able to sleep!!!
Feel better. I would say I am on the mend, but every time I say that, I get something new. Really think this is some sort of flu. Anyway, worse than anything I have had in the past 10 years or so.
The only things I want are bread and tea. And some good cough syrup and aspirin. BLECH!!!! - Claire
0 -
yes, Kathy, I've definately been w/ bottle! I did correct my post
Sorry you don't feel well, I hope you feel better. Have a few strong ones, sleep and be well. I am expecting you to be well for Monday. And I promise to be teeny tiny and invisible and will not use your docs as a step-stool.
Good night to all!

The assistant proncipal, whom I shall forever call Mr. Shitty-pants called 3 times while I was at the grocery store. Each call sounds a bit more humble. Hmm. I think I'll let him sweat a little... sweat, shit, whatever. This isn't even about her not having to go to Saturday school again. I don't want any student at the school to ever be denied access to a bathroom ever again and I want to call the district's attention to the total lack of regard and dignity these students are forced to endure. We have had problems (with her schedule and being punished for having her clothes stolen) since the beginning. They treat kids with zero respect when they try to handle issues like maturing adults who will be graduating and moving into adulthood in mere weeks. I don't think my daughter has learned anything positive from her experience with this school.

Just a quickie drop in today girls. To all those feeling off with a capital 'O' hope you begin to feel a whole lot better soon. To all the others, hope you are having a nice relaxing weekend. Not really in the mood for a drink this morning so I'll head to the coffe lounge and grab a cup char!
Hugs to all. Here's cheers!

Astorm - beautifully said - you tell that assistant principal what you will tell the district mgr. A long time ago when Sean was but 3 years old. He was to go to the public school in our neighborhood. We went to take a tour and well things didn't seem right so then I was asked to come back - it was worse don't even want to get into it as it was a truely abusive situation with disabled kids. They called and said for me to please come back one more time. I did and I could see the fear in these children with this one teacher. I called the district and very shortly that program was totally shut down and from then on we had a our choice of public school for sean. So going to the district can help and can make things happen.
NM- glad you are feeling better.
Just got home - went to hear the Symphony and The Chieftons ! what a great show complete with irish dancing and bag pipes and everything! Just heard the more awful news on Japan. I just can't begin to comprehend what they are all going through. How very scary and fragile out world is. It makes me so angry we waste so much time, money and reasources on wars - Why on earth hasn't our civilization gotten to the point of working together and sharing... just so terribly sad - Life was so much simpler and it just wasn't that long ago..... what happended. Sorry just sometimes it is just so overwhelming.....

Storm....that is absolutely appalling (sp)....your DD should not have had to beg to use the bathroom.....and yes, there are always exceptions....I would definitely put the complaint in writing...to the prinicipal, the school board, the districts attorney.....I've worked in the schools for a long time....and my youngest DD attends public schools and thankfully she has great teachers....but the few horrid ones really do more harm.....sorry this happened to your DD...she sounds llike a responsible young lady....
hard to believe the devastation in Japan....
Claire...feel better....if I ever felt worse than during the day of chemo, I would need to be shot and put out of my misery like they do horses!!
Going to be gorgeous...though almost too warm in Denver all week.....Sure hope it will be nice the last week of the month for spring break.....
Tomorrow is our last girl scout cookie booth sale at the grocery store...DD was sick and stayed in bed all day today....hope she feels better in the morning......
Need to go back and read all the posts....Hugs, karen

For those of you with sore throats, here's a recipe a doctor gave my mother once: mix 1 ounce of brandy with 1 ounce of honey and 1 ounce warm water. Take by teaspoonfuls until your throat doesn't hurt or you don't care about it anymore. It really works! Especially for us dwinkie lovers!
AStorm-Sounds like you are getting action! Good for you! And do take it up the line and make sure it doesn't happen to another student. Like you say, it's not about Saturday school, there isn't anything inherently wrong with that, it's the dignity and treating the students like the young adults they are becoming. How else will they learn to behave with respect for others if they don't see it demonstrated in the school and home?
I've got a line on a good paying job in my field, in my area, for an agency I already work with per diem. Nothing definite, of course, but promising. I'm not crazy about working a weekend position (3 days, either Fri, Sat, Sun or Sat, Sun, Mon) but I'd get first dibs on any other position that opened up. At least I've got a pretty sure fall back position, now I jut need to get through the rest of this semester. . . .
Anyway, time to go hit the Sunday Buffett, and see what the tenders and wenches have set up for us-I see they're attending to the loungettes who are slightly under the weather-lots of chicken soup!

Hi Karen, Hope your cookie booth sales are still doing well! My DD is the Daisy and Brownie Girl Scout Leader as well as Cub Scout Leader, and she also had to do the cookie sales (her cookie sale gal didn't do much!). However they did not get their choice of location....it is more of a "lottery" system here, controlled by the GS office...they had a bad location along with bad weather and sold only 14 boxes there! I told her how much your one sale did. Back "in the day" when I was GS leader, we had good booth sales, but also were able to call the stores we wanted to be at. Remembering when my mom was my GS leader and I went around the neighborhood selling....my god what was it....maybe 50 cents a box then????? Hope your DD feels better today and you can have another great cookie sale!!
Stanzie, Sounded like a nice evening with the Symphony as well as the Irish Dancing! I still want to go to Ireland some day..... Some civic group here got permission to put green coloring in our downtown fountain....somehow it is not supposed to go into the spring or pond area, which it comes off of....not sure how they can contain it. Would it even be bad for all the ducks and fish in the spring/pond? SO glad you were able to get that program stopped where the teacher was so abusive to those kids! Makes you wonder how many parents never even checked it out b4 sending their kids there.
Feeling better...glad the bloody nose/allergies seems better...didn't want to have to cancel surgery tomorrow. I was doing a lot of cleaning of books, etc yesterday and the dust may have gotten to me. Will see how the day goes. Hope Claire and Lori are doing better...you two have been hit for days!
Hmmmmm let me see....what to pick from this humongous buffet the Wenches put out for us. And oh Pants and Jocks have the mimosa fountain flowing along with the percotini fountain. Looks like Sunday is starting out really well. Think I will start with an Irish Coffee in honor of St. Pat's day coming up, then on to the mimosa.... Junie, Dee, HunkyD, Jaybird, haven't heard from you gals for awhile, hope all is well. Jaybird, are you back from Russia? So glad you don't do the asia route....imagine landing right at the time of the earthquake, as so many planes did. Hope all your coworkers are ok that might have been there at the time.
Kick up your heels (Irish dancing style)!
OOPS....was typing and missed your post NM. How sweet to include chicken soup! Very glad you have a possible posititon lined up....you move FAST!!! Nice to know you won't have to worry about finding something after the semester is over. You go girl!!!! I am amazed at how quickly you went from being down-in-the-dumps to taking charge of the situation. Any of the places you are considering (esp the one you have done stuff for), will be very lucky to have you working for them!!!

NM, I am so sorry about your news. That is just terrible. What Stanzie has said is sooooo true. Stanzie those were such sweet words to NM, and I echo what everyone has said. Perhaps this just isn't your calling. Just read your post about moving on. Atta girl, pull up those panties and move on. Maybe you will be more suited for working with patients, especially with your kind and caring ways. You are NOT a Dunbass Teacher nor a punching bag!
Kathy, I think I would have to kill myself if I had to go through this year round! Yesterday was a terrible day and feels as though today will be the same. It makes it hard to sleep when you can't breathe! But I know it will come to an end and I will be good until next year. I'm sorry you have to deal with allergies all year, I shouldn't complain. And your DH to have headaches DAILY...that's horrible!
Stanzie, I have our thread in my favorites on BCO. When I log in and go to my Home Page, the link is there. I click on it, and it takes me back to the last page I was on, on our thread. Therefore, never missing pages. (Just passing that on, not sure how you get to our thread). Yes, that is wonderful news on your BIL. How can sending flowers be wrong?
Good one DorK, drink and don't drive!
Gail, what a horrible ordeal for your daughter. I am so sorry for her. How embarrassing. Starting with Aunt Flo is NOT something you can hold. Love your scenario for the A$$ and Exlax! Years ago I used to work at an Adult Day Care Center and we wore white............need I say more! What was the embarrassing part was it was a male client that let me know.
Beans, good to hear you are DONE with the family BS. Concentrate on that cabin girl. I wish we could have built one. You changed your signature, so now I'm sure if the others saw the one I thought funny.
Will grab a bite to eat and a few drinks on my way out.........and another box of tissues. My eyes are so sore from itching and watering, my nose is sore from dabbing it from the dripping, and the soft pallet in the back of my mouth, on top, is sore from sneezing so much.......LOL! But on a better note, suppose to be sunny and 70!
See y'all on the bus in the morning. HD, Junie, Dee and all you other gals MIA, hope you can make it!0 -

Good Sunday morning breast friends,
My DD has made it safely to London, the flight arrived just after 6am this morning. Thank God for online tracking info.
NM, your comic is cute! I am so glad to hear that you are already working on plan B. Good luck getting through this semester. I am like you and take my job to heart and often bring the issues home with me and allow them to consume MY time. I have been working on leaving work behind but it is not always easy.
Kathy, happy to hear you are feeling better. Try to take it easy today and eat alot, you need to store up those caleries. I have always enjoyed what I call my last meal prior to any surgery. I always fill myself up real good knowing I will be starving in 24 hours. I wish you were able to have the lipo instead of cutting out the fat but know you will do great. I will be thinking of you tomorrow. Cheers!
Gosh, I am again craving those peanut butter/choco girl scout cookies. That would be the most yummy breakfast and they go with coffee oh so well.
Where has the time gone? I have to get in the shower and get ready for a date with a newly diagnosed breast friend whom I went to high school with. We are meeting at Starbucks to talk. I am happy to be able to play it forward. I was thinking about picking her up a little "feel good" gift. Maybe some bath oil beads or something? Any ideas?
I have to roll. I hope you ladies have a fabulous Sunday. Cheerz, I toast my coffee to each of you (not yet drinking, what a shock)!!!!

Eeecccccckkkkkkk Lori, OMG what a picture! Funny too though, although that prolly is what you feel like!!! Yes I have allergies year round, but take daily meds for it, so all it usually does is keep my using a LOT of tissues year round, but not debilitating. Last night was another story! Thought I would be anemic with all the blood leaving my nose! But I also used a presc nasal spray, and I was able to sleep. Wish you could find some meds that could help, esp since yours is so seasonal. I also find a hot shower, or putting my face over simmering water on the stove (with a towel draped over my head, to get all the steam) seems to help. Hope you can get some relief!
Oops was again typing and missed Dotty's post. Glad your DD's flight made it there! I didn't get the pnut butter ones this time, but the Samoas were my downfall! Have a GR8 day....when will it be warm enuf to use your pool???

Good Morning all!
Whoops forgot to set all the clocks this morning...
Lori- I actually do get to this thread this way..... just somehow miss things, large things like the huge fingernail picture??? I'm blaming it on distractions from my kids! Or cat or fish or plants???
Sorry about the allergies for you all....knock on wood - hasn't hit me yet and not being able to breathe normally , hope I miss this year. Some years it totally knocks me out - other years no problem , weird huh!
Can't figure the weather - night before last it went down to freezing, last night it went down to 68???? Now I'm freezing this morning??? this doesn 't make sense at all??? Off to hope my paper wasn't stolen .... again!
