Tuesday Roll Call

We are planning on doing it from 2pm on.

Paul, we are going to be there but will probably be a little late.  Tyler's very first high school football game is on Saturday morning and it starts at 11:30am, as soon as that's over we'll run home so he can shower!  LOL  than we'll be on our way

No problem.  I'm anticipating this shindig going into the evening!

Good morning Illinoisans!

What a beautiful day! Like Nancy I could have stayed asleep for a while, but work beckons. Yesterday was a hectic day! I had to confront one of my faculty who was rude to my support staff. This is the kind of situation where I feel like I am still 20 instead of a grown-up. But he took the confrontation well, and he actually apologized to me and to the three others which indicates more quality than I gave him credit for. By the way he is a doc and was arrogant and that's what I confronted him on. The most interesting part was as I was telling Kay about the whole day at dinner I could feel my band getting tighter with the stress and then I PB'd my last couple of bites. This was a first hand example of stress and tightening--a good lesson.

Have a good day everyone. We are looking forward to Saturday!

Good morning Paul and my Illinois friends.

Another wonderful morning and actually the cool weather is nice for a change! Good for sleeping. Something that I do very well. I didn't want to get up this morning.

A work day for me. I'm looking forward to the weekend. I have to get more activity in my daily routine and start journaling my thoughts. One day at a time.

I am so looking forward to cruising with Pam, my fellow naughty friend. She's been very busy at work; that's why she is not here. I'm planning on a lot of R&R, not much sightseeing this trip.

Wishing everyone a wonderful and cool day.

Hugs,
Lucy

Good morning all,
The last 3 days have been very stressful in my family.  My daughter and SIL decided to separate Friday night. It was my daughters wishes. Their marriage has been deteriorating for quite a long time. To make a very long story short, they will attempt marital counseling and he is going to individual conuseling. My daughter is a strong woman and she will be fine, it's like a huge weight has been lifted from her shoulders. But I am mostly concerned for my sweet little granddaughters. Thye are so young and dont; understand.  We plan to just stay neutral and love them all while they work through this.  I may not post much unti; things settle down some.

I lost 2 pounds since Saturday due to too little sleep and too little food, definately not the way to do it.  Before I would stuff my feeings and overeat now I am finding I can;t eat when i am upset.  go figure!  I need to find the happy medium.

Please keep us all in your prayers, hugs, Paulette

ps Earl &  I are still coming to the meet & greet. Need some time away and distraction from the stress

Paulette,

I will keep you and your family in my prayers. 

I look forward to meeting you and your husband on Saturday.

Good Morning Paul and my IL family,

Paul, I haven't played ping pong since I was a youngun!  lol  We are looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday and we will most likely have all 3 boys with us.  oh well.  lol

Today I decided to go for a walk with the dogs when Tyler left for school at 6:45am, so I did it and now I feel good!  I have to run some errands today and get my desk straightened out. Then I need to start more aggresivley looking for a job...I really need a better income than just my child support. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day and enjoys this great weather we are having!

 Monica,

Boys are good, I have a 9 1/2 yr old that would love to play with your boys young or old.  Do they like baseball?  My son always has a mitt and ball in the car for an impromtu game of catch. 

It will be nice to meet you on Sat.

Eileen

Eileen, Mine are 10, 12 and 14 and the oldest loves baseball and would play with your son.  the 10 yr old is the one we are having major problems with as far as attitude but sometimes he surprises us and I am praying that Saturday is one of those days!  lol
Can't wait to meet you guys on Saturday!
