********Freezing Cold Tuesday Roll Call*******

Steff,

Glad you were warm!  Hang in there with the food choices. I know easier said than done, but I find the more I beat myself up, the worse my choices get oddly enough.  Start with one meal, one snack, and realize YOU have the ability to be in control!

And the Seasonal Affective Disorder...hubby goes through something similar - only more in the fall when it just begins to get darker earlier.  LOTS of lights on in the house, and if you are home during the day (I know....not gonna happen) open up as many shades and what not as possible - the natural light definately helps more so than artificial light.  Finding times to do the things you want to do is also a great idea!

Steffi it gets to me too - I leave for work it's pitch black, I get home from work - pitch black out again... I LOVE spring and am counting down the days - not only until I can start working in my gardens this year but of course baby comes this spring. I try and find a lot of house projects to keep me busy in the winter. Painting is usually the one I lean towards. The bright colors seem to keep my mood up a bit.

Good luck *hugs*

 Yes, we just had a meeting with my grade group this morning and were reminded about PSSA time.  Being Social Studies, I do writing type stuff to prepare my kids for it.  Open ended crap like that.

I also need to give some kids time on the puter to do Study Island and all that jazz.

I hate the PSSA in the worst way.  It is so unrealistic.  

Anywho, thanks for reminding me.

Huggls,
Trish

Rough day for me. Just emotionally exhausted. Alot going on right now so I apparently look sick, as my co-workers quickly pointed out as I arrived today. But I am not sick, just not sleeping well and have alot on my mind.

I wor****il 1 today. Then I will head over to campus and get my books for next semester. Then home to put wash away, get groceries that I wasn't able to do last night.....exercise, the chill and go to bed.

I am sure there will be lots of drama thrown in the midst of the day. But like with any drama, it's never planned, so who knows when.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Hi all. I work all day today and then see clients this pm so I will have no time to myself, long days are hard on me. Gotta get better at taking care of myself through them. A little sore today from the gym but I am ok. Not a whole lot going on. I hear you all about the dark weather it just puts me down for the count I need light

Hi folks,

Glad to hear I'm not the only one suffering from "low energy syndrome" in these low-light days.  Between being tired and freezing all the time, i would just dearly love to curl up in my flannel sheets and STAY there for about a week.  Or until the weather turns.  Whichever comes later.

Anyway, today's my first day back at work after the holidays - trying to catch up but not stress out.  I'm then back out for most of the rest of the week - we're joking that this is my "guest appearance" for the week.  Gotta keep my folks on their toes somehow, after all.  Haha.

Saw Sherlock Holmes yesterday (a matinee!  How decadent!) with my friend Mary.  It was sooo yummy - haha.  

Tonight I'll be back in my studio (i hope!!!) working on some new pieces and some commission work.

Hi all!

Easy day today.  I'm going to Roots Market with my step-father, then will return some too-big clothes with my mom.  In between, I'm trying to find some affordable health insurance.  (My plan is changing to a $5000 deductible.  Ouch!  Especially now that I'm on unemployment.)  I'm not sure if we'll head home from Mom's today or tomorrow. 

Have a great day, everyone!
