Good Tuesday Morning Cali!!!
Happy Tuesday Cali!!! Yeah only 3 more days until the weekend!!! Pout...and I have NO days off until....well the end of the month...I am going to Laughlin even though I should be working.
So how did your Monday go and teachers...were your students squirrley yesterday or what? Everyone I talked with at my school said the kids were definitely different than they were the 1 st week of school, but the nevertheless...still good!
Teachers....I also made this game for the kids....and it is going to be called Ms. Johnson's jar of questions. The premise is that all my students wrote on a piece of paper a question...an opened question like...what would be the ideal classroom, if you were a color what would you be and why....things like that. After I get them all typed up....I will laminate them...no knows who wrote the question and without notice, I will drag out the jar and pass it to each student in the room. I got the idea from my friend where I played it at her house only her jar was called Mom's jar of questions....it was great and surely gives insight to people!
Enough about this and that....how and the heck are all of you?
Lola I surely understand that it is the worst to be underappreciated at your job. Makes you kind of wonder how mean and unhappy your boss is...oh wait a minute...do you work for the government? Hang in there gf!
Kim sounds like you had a busy weekend with your knitting club which I love the name and Greg...and you still managed to get that exercise in regardless of the time!
Jean glad your weekend is over I bet....estate sells are demanding...anything like that because people tug at you all the time and you have to keep your eye on things. I hope you had a wonderful pampered day....I need a pamper day...lucky!
Carol I...wow that is really a bummer about the contractor...bad case of luck, but yes it will be all worth it. I know last year when my house was all ripped up...I thought why did I do this...oh yeah I know why...looks better now! LOL
Yeah to Katt who got rid of her ride!!!! I am so happy for you Katt but for sure you need to take it easy still. YOu do not want to have a screw put in your ankle....those are damn painful!
Michele sounds awesome getting a closet organizer! I wish I had someone to that for me....I open my closet and just shake my head and close it again I have so much stuff in there. It is a real scary mary if you ask me. Although I can find things most of the time. Hope you have fun going to the fair this week. Our county fair is in Feb I think....it is pretty cool, but I hate going because all the students go!
Terri that is too cute about your grandson!!!! I love that you can go swimming and felt good about it...and for sure the big boy underoo's are super important!!! You can let him in on a secret....we love big
Gene how are you doing on the grazing and making not so good choices. I know you can get yourself back on track in spite of all that is going on in your life. It is hard trust me, but the pay off is tremendous. You have a lot going on and really remodeling is super stressful...a lot of people here are doing it right now....but don't give into the demons...you have done so well!!!!
Jess I am glad you are hanging out here on the boards and trying to get people together. It is all about the support and the friendships that we form here. You probably do not know this but when Liz R was running the marathon in Hawaii a few years ago, she on the spur of the moment asked Luana to go. Luana did and those two have been thick as thieves since...talk to each other everyday...it is awesome! I also have some really great friendships from the people here on the boards, and I love them to pieces for sure!
Catt that pic of your dad is awesome! Not to mention you in the sexy secretary look!!! You are doing fantastic even though you do not always think that you are!
Monica I hope that you and Jordyn will settle into a routine quickly....she will really because I watched my grandbabies settle. It is good. How was your 1st day with the kids?
Shella I do not know how you work doubles although I must admit I do put those kind of hours in a day, but to be at one place for a double....YIKES my hat is off to you gf!
Hey LULU how is your back doing? I could so tell you were hurting...not your normal bubbly self...and springing all over the place. How was the meeting up with old friends too?
Steve....how you doing friend....still can't get over you...I still vividly have that image of you lumbering towards me in Vegas! WOW is all I can say and you tell Darrel...he looks friggin awesome too!
Jeni...so happy you had fun with your grandson's this weekend! I know you were in hog heaven girl! Hang in there with the pre surgery jitters and eating too....I went through the same thing but I am telling you the light switch flips once your surgery is done!
WooHOO Sue you got a new car!! That is awesome!!! I think those Saturns look cool! I hope that you are feeling much better. Summer colds really suck! Are you feeling okay otherwise?
Jaime I do not know how you did 28 boys at a party...you are a star and a saint in my eyes gf!!! That is a lot on any given day, but pool party....OMG!!!!! You look fantastic btw!

Yesterday was a busy day with me. I spent something like 6 hours at a doctor appointment, about my back. They wanted to check out that knott on my back. They don't want to do anything about it right now, because its just a fatty lump and not doing anything. At this time.
My back is better in the evening then it is in morning. I get stiff from sleeping most of the night. I tend to not move around much once I fall asleep. So my back starts hurting about 3 or 4 in morning awaking me up. Oh joy!
I don't get to meet up with the old friends until the 4th. They are going to have a pot luck party. It should be lots of fun, and I can not wait. I have missed then and talk often of them, I intend on taking my address book and make sure that EVERYONE fills it out.
Back to work today. Dang it! OH well, got to pay the bills right?
Well its time to get moving and get myself all fu fu'd up for work. I am trying hard to look on the bright side of things. Only 14 more hours and I am can get home. LOL
OK one and all take care and remember:You are loved by someone in Riverside.

I think we are in a routine already just the wrong one. lol I have to agree with you the kids were definitely different yesterday (last wed was our first day). As I always say they are back in school mode and awake now. But I can still say I have a great group. 2 are attitudinal but it because they are not ninth graders and since they didn't pass the course the first time have to do it now. The only other one I will have broken down soon.
I can't wait for friday I couldn't keep track that yesterday was only monday. We have meetings a lot this week so it will make for long work days. I have to present a program I put together for my class and Was asked to be the facilitator of a learning team. As I could use the extra money I may do it.
Janine your game sounds great. Would love a list of the questions they came up with whenever you have the time no rush I know you are a very busy lady yourself these days.
Everyone enjoy the day
Monica

Yep, only three more days until the weekend and that's a good thing. The weather cooled off nicely here yesterday from the weekends heat. Hope it stays just like this for a while.
I am in a funky mood this morning. Our canine kid Josie continues to become more ill and I don't know how much longer for her. Then yesterday afternoon D and I were having ****tails in the family room (AKA the garage) with our blond dog Joe when he took off like a shot to the street in front of our house where some guy and his young son were walking two rotts. The dogs attacked Joe and the guy could hardly control them. I didn't see it as it happened fast, as these things do, but D had run after Joe and did see it all. Joe has a nasty wound on his lower back and I guess one of the dogs (they were on leashes by the way) had Joe by the throat at one point. We got them separated and Joe back in the house. The guy had all this macho attitude toward us yelling about our dog not being on a leash. Some of the neighbors were out and came over to check on us and Joe. Scared them too and they were all wondering what if that had been a little kid chasing a ball instead of Joe? I had not ever seen this guy or these dogs before but D had and the neighbors have too and don't like him. Guess when they walk by the chain link fences with dogs in the yard his aggressive dogs pull him and try to get to the dogs in their yards. So anyway, Joey is OK I think. His wounds is tender and he doesn't want it touched. I am putting neosporum on them. D already has an appointment with our vet for Joe and Josie tomorrow so we'll see what she says.
Sigh.... it's been a long summer for Steve-o and D I tell ya.
Anyway, I need to get the day underway so will end by wishing you all a terrific Tuesday gang!
