Could use a fork lift to pick up the bags under my eyes.  I'm working evenings/midnights and the fur child is still on days!  Proud of her for letting me sleep till 9:00 this morning.  Laundry and work is what is on agenda. 

Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

Good morning!

I am so thankful it is Friday!  This has been a very stressful week at work and then at home I'm working on making wedding invitations for my best friends sister.  I told her I do graphic design and that I would make them back in August but hadn't heard from her so figured she ordered them from some place and didn't worry about it.  Well she called me last Friday and asked if I could still make them but the catch is she needs them by the end of February.  It is going to be interesting getting them printed and put together in time...  I love making things like this but don't enjoy doing it on such short notice unless a little extra money is involved for having to get everything rushed...

Anyway I hope everyone is doing well, I just wanted to swing by and say hi since I had a short minute this morning.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Hey You Guys! 

Quick drive by! I have a crazy day ahead. If Gina is the self proclaimed procrastination queen I guess I get to be the princess. I THOUGHT I only had a few things to tend to today but then realized that I hadn't done my medicaid billing for the month that's due today. Then some of my life skills kids went to their inclusion classrooms and I missed time with them yesterday, And on top of it all I have a teacher who wants me to come listen to a kiddo in her room. I have a meeting/beating at administration at 11:30 and have to review ARD paperwork from the week. I am still making corrections on two. I also have paperwork to send home with a few kids so that I can get them tested. As Gina said- job security. ugh

Well I better get to it. Medicaid doesn't bill itself and they won't hire me a personal secretary (even though I've asked). 

Love you guys!
Tracey

 Good Morning Gina, Alissa, and TMB Family,

I got a big surprise today when I went to the Realize band board to post my daily posts.....I saw Nina's smiling face on the before and afters.   I miss her !!!! I would LOVE to attend her group next weekend since I will be in ( somewhat ) that area but I will be farther south than she is by a hour or so.   I went to the doctor yesterday and I have felt really bad.   I HAVE to get better....my group is on sunday.    I have nothing contagious...sinus infection.    I am taking a ton of meds for it.    I told my doc I had to be well by next thurs.    SO we have a plan and I am carrying it out.   LOL   I do feel somewhat better today though.     Haven't gone to FB yet this AM so I haven't heard any updates on Norma's Daddy so everyone keep them in your prayers.    Praying for everyone else in need.   Have a great weekend and be safe.    Heard we could have wintery mix on sunday evening.    

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

 Hope everyone has had a great week and ready for the weekend.    It's almost here whether you are ready for it or not.    Today I am so grateful for life.    Before my WLS I wasn't really living life even though I was a Mom of 3 sons....I was a very active Mom ( well as active as a 5'1" 273 lb. woman could be ).   LOL   I was at the wrestling meets, gymnastic meets, school plays, musicals...etc but if anything involved exercise I just couldn't hold up to it.    I am SO grateful for the changes in my life since WLS.    Not only am I active but I went on a senior field trip when my youngest son was a senior several years back.    LIfe is SO much better as a smaller person and so much easier to do things for that I am truly grateful.    PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today.   Have a blessed weekend.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Good morning! I don't want to jinx it but my computer and OH are working together. Finally. I've had such trouble with it lagging and not working and its only on OH-no other website.

I worked out in the Keller/Sagniaw yesterday and it was nice that I was so close to home at the end of the day. Today is my work from home day. And the best part of today is that I'm getting a 90 minute massage at 3pm. It was a groupon type deal that was over 1/2 off. I am excited about that. Since leaving Massage Envy I've missed getting them regularly. I also have to see my doctor for a quick check up. Thankfully he's around the corner from here so I can see him during my lunch period. I've already started my work day so that I can account for being gone.

Things seem to be getting better with Chris, so that's good. He started on an ADHD medication that instantly he's been able to focus on his school work "90 time better" in his words!

This weekend- Sat morning labs for Chris and then nothing the rest of the day. Sunday Bryan leaves for New York. He'll be gone till the following Sat. SOOO- anyone wanting to do something, I'm pretty open!

Have a great day!

TGIF, my peeps!! After I warmed up yesterday's train I couldn't get "reconnected"-not even on the caboose..hate when that happens!

Whew..what a busy week this has been...and still have today to work thru...been taking work "to bed, in my head" with me, so dreaming about work/tossing/turning/not sleeping..I don't how LIZ does this, night after night...you could pack for 7 day cruise in the bags under my eyes...

The weekend plans include painting a bedroom, and carpet shampooing-and I'm actually lookiing forward to it-the physical activity-and the smell of CLEAN!

Work continues to be a bear..and will continue to be for at least the next several weeks, as nurses have medical leave, etc, and the rest of are stretched and pulled and stretched...etc..etc...job security...

So..what's up with y'all ????

 Morning Gina and Alissa,

I don't know how to get on OH from my IPhone.   Guess I'm just challenged !!!  LOL   Please share how to do that if you can Alissa.   It would be nice to access it at times or answer messages when I'm out running around.    Well.....I have been feeling bad since tuesday ( I think I have a sinus infection )  I have a doctor appointment at 11 today.    The OTC meds are NOT WORKING !!!!  Other than that all is good.    Prayers for Norma's Daddy.   Hope he improves !!!  Prayers still going out for our Meggie.   Have a blessed day everyone.

 Good Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a good week.   I have been fighting something I think it is sinus and I am about ready to raise the white flag and surrender and go to the doctor.   LOL   Today I am SO grateful for good health.    I am rarely ever sick.    I am a very heathy person.    I am grateful for doctors who get us WLS patients.   I know when I get sick usually OTC meds do not get me over what is making me sick.   I am about to call my doctor and see if he can see me today.   PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day !!!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I hope you're feeling better today. I'm sure you're an incredible blessing to those guys at TC. You are showing them kindness and love which some may not have been given. God bless you for the work that you do.

Good morning! How is everyone? I've been having a heck of a time getting on the board from a computer. I type and it has a huge lag time but from my phone I can do it with no problem. So I'm on my phone while sitting in front of my computer. Lol.
All is going just ok. We've got a few challenges with Chris but we are working with him and the school and his docs.

Work has been pretty easy this week. Didn't work Monday. Today I'm headed to see consumers all day and the first two are in Keller. All 3 are seniors in HS going on to college so I need to see what their needs are since the school district is responsible for everything up until graduation. It will be interesting to see how KISD accommodates. Some schools go towards the iPads and Macs. Some stay old school and do more Braille based stuff. The best news is I get to work from home from 7-8 before I head to the first school.
Hope everyone has a great day today!!

  Good Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a great week.    Mine is going OK except I've been a little under the weather but I am feeling much better this morning.     Today I am SO grateful for the people in my life and the ones that I can encourage.     Last night I went to the teen challenge that my son went to until he was transfered to one 300 miles away last week.    They were surprised to see me at Chapel and me bringing those guys my homemade cookies like I did every week when my son was there.    I had told those guys when my son left that I would not abandon them.     I didn't make it to chapel last week because I pulled in my driveway about the time that their chapel started and I live 45 minutes away from there.   My son is now 300 miles from my home and I can't see him every week but I can see these guys.    Those guys encourage me as much as I encourge them.     I am also graterful for everyone here on OH.   You never know how you affect another person's life.    SO today I am grateful for all the people that cross my path.   PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful today.  Have a blessed day !!

Hugs and blessings ~~~~ Vivian

Schedule at work has changed so for the duration I'm doing 12's, 2p-2a, and my body is telling me it has been a LONG time since I've done 12's.  Now that dog is fed and garbage is at the end of the driveway - nap time!

Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
