Good morning, Christmas friends. I have LOTS of catching up to do and prizes to award!!! I have had so many appointments getting ready for my surgery on Thursday (Oct. 20), plus re-doing lesson plans, plus our anniversary (Oct. 17). And, my computer has slowed down to a crawl. It takes forever to go from one page to another. I will try to catch up ASAP. I just cannot skip any of the messages, so it may take me a while. In addition, I have had SEVERAL SSTs (Student Study Team meetings). I told our school nurse that I suspected one of my kidlets had a hearing problem, and sure enough, she found that to be true; so we have to meet again after she has seen a doctor. I love it when I am right!!! Gotta go. I have another SST in 20 minutes (yes, at 7:45 a.m.). I also had the nurse check her hearing, too. Have a great day, everyone, and I will get caught up soon.
Great to see you around again, hope all goes well with the surgery and congrats on the anniversary! Hope you can get your computer issues fixed too.
One more image, dear Christmas family I thought was adorable !! xo
LOL! that made me laugh!
I finally got my haircut I have been putting off for weeks, my head feels about 3lbs lighter with all that excess hair gone.
LOL that reminds me I need to go for my monthly haircut today, amazing how different ya feel after a haircut
I think I caught a bug going around. Bummer. Stayed home from work today to catch up on some rest. Har is here cuddling with me.
Do any of you guys get the flu shot? I never have, and was wondering if it seems to truly help?
Hope you feel better soon and are not coming down with a cold or flu.
I have only got a flu shot once, and ironically that was the last time I got a bad cold lol, I have not got one for the last 4 years and no flu, I seen Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS are pushing them but I don't think I'm going to get one.
Good evening, Christmas family!
I am so glad it is evening - rather tired. It was a long day, but I got a lot accomplished. The job I had a lead on will not be mine as I do not have the qualifications for it
Might be a blessing though, you never know what even better job could be around the corner!
Good evening, Christmas family
Tail is dragging a bit tonight. Today at about 1 p.m. I started developing a monster migraine. I tried being where it is dark and being quiet thinking it would subside. By 2:20 it was not any better so I decided to call work and tell them I didn't think I could work my shift like that. Now, I have to say I NEVER call off. In fact this is the first time I called them with an illness. Instead of telling me anything, the person I had spoken to asked if I could hold, which of course I said yes. They turned me over to the owner. He was very nice but explained that they are really far behind and are asking everyone to try to work their shifts. I know they are behind because I just had to put in 8 hours mandatory this past Friday.
Now, I understand the obligation they have and If I had a habit of calling off I would have expected this. But I dont call off. Of course, even though I was miserable, I told him I would take extra medication and get through my shift. (After all this was the OWNER). The whole thing has just upset me to no end. People aren't allowed to get sick ?? I came away feeling like I did something wrong and I feel as though I look like an idiot. Why did I need to be turned over to the CEO ?
I wish all a very Christmassy evenig. Maybe I won't be so sad tomorrow.......(((HUGS)))) xo
Does anyone here understand why I am upset ??
Ugh migraines are terrible, I have suffered with them since I was a teen, sometimes sitting in a dark quiet room can help and sometimes it seems as if nothing can make them go away until they run their course
hope you feel better and I understand your situation at work, its very unfortunate that your boss is being like that, it is probably because you are a dedicated worker and your boss knew that if he pushed, you would work despite being sick, I think your boss needs to be visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future
hope the rain doesn't postpone game tonight too!!
Hope the weather works out for the game!
On the note, my mother is having a benefit Halloween dance for two people here in my town. I am very excuted, however it is also accompanied by sadness...Both are under 30, and both have terminal cancer. Unfortunately, the young man did not make it, he passed away last week thus being said, the girl is still alive, and doing as well as she possibly can! It just hits home when you went to school with them, and to see people suffer... Blah I can't handle it
That is really sad, but its awesome that your mom is doing the benefit dance, and I can imagine that it would be hard it would be to think about, I have lost a lot of family and friends to cancer, but benefits like that do a lot of good.
Hi you guys. I have a hard time keeping up with this thread so I'm sorry I don't get to talk about everyone's posts. This moves faster than the entire rest of the forum.
I'm a little down today...money troubles have me a bit glum. I'm just tired of living paycheck to paycheck but I'm building savings so I should be happy. It's just the rate of it that has me bummed. It's SO SLOW.
It's a really rainy day and I usually love them but I'm a bit bummed out.
I know that things can always be worse. Hearing about some of your stories, I feel very lucky. I am sorry for your troubles and I am reminded that I should keep my chin up. So thanks.
I have a hard time keeping up with this thread too, but I'm trying lol
This year has been very rough financially on a lot of people, the economy is a disaster and will be for years to come sadly, but as I was reminded this year....
there is a lot more important things in life than money and though money issues can be very stressful at the end of the day, having an excess of money and material things are empty and meaningless, it is family, friends and love that really matter.

Well back to work I go. Have a good day everyone!
