*****Shivering Thursday Roll Call*****
Good morning Trish and all - Trish - I am sooo proud of you for not drinking while dealing with all the crap you are going through! I hope you find some peace soon - think about coming to the support group meeting next Wednesday - we would love to see you and you will get some well deserved hugs and love!
So - my day is already starting out hectic. The staff here is sooooo miserable. my principal is retiring next fall and is putting soooo much added pressure on the staff that everyone is pissy. It is very hard to work under these conditions. I love my students, but all the other crap is sooooo tough to deal with! I know that with talking with other teachers in other schools, the pressure is not as great and our principal, who DOES run a good school, is losing his ever=loving mind! UGH! We used to be a very tight knit faculty and we have been at each other based on the pressure we are all feeling. VERY frustrating.
So today I am at wor****il 3:15 - am then getting my hair cut and colored. The girls have girl scouts tonight. But...LARRY IS HOME!!!! WAHOO!!!! it will not all be on me! :) YAYAYAYAYA!!!!!
I hope you all have a nice Thursday!

Trish,
I emailed my mom about fibro. She was diagnosed with it, she did some extensive research on it and thankfully has not had to go on any type of meds or anything for it because she modified her lifestyle and most of the time that seems to help. She's not real big on "being online" often so I don't know when she'll CHECK that email, but when I get some answers I will fwd them to you. I hope things get to feeling better soon!
Lisa, Happy birthday to your mom!
Steffi, work drama SUCKS. Thee was alot of political bull**** at my old job - and it was amazing how it could tear a place apart. Hang in there!
Anyway - today I'm not doing much of anything! I do have to clean up the kitchen...hubby wants to take down the tree today (his family's tradition when they used to have a tree due to Three Kings Day....) but we'll see. I also need to pack up food for work. It's been since last Monday since I've been at work...it's almost weird going back. Hopefully a nap later on before converting myself over to nights...and then work!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 

Good morning, all!
Trish---I hope you soon get some relief!
Lisa---Happy birthday to your mom! I'm sure she's watching over you!
I'm doing some laundry today. We did laundry while we were away, but it still managed to pile up. I need to go to the bank at some point, and also apply for Blue Cross's low income insurance coverage. And at some point, I have to get my butt on the treadmill. Just remembered too that I have to pick up some groceries like milk (and oatmeal so I can bake Liz's most awesome oatmeal cookies again!)
Enjoy your day, everyone!!

Good Morning everyone -
I'm off today. Getting my automatic car starter installed. Woo hoo ! I'll drop my car off around 10:00 this morning and hopefully it will be done 4:00.
Me and my kitty are watching the Today show with a cup of coffee. All is good this morning.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Yeah. I'm actually making roll call... I'm at work...working hard and could actually get into the OH website. I'm working until 4pm then hitting the gym, picking up the kids. After that, making dinner...kids will drive me crazy then after they go to bed I'm sure I'll have a glass of red wine...lol. That's pretty much my life in a nutshell.
Enjoy your day!!!!!!!!
Enjoy your day!!!!!!!!
Good Morning Trish, PA!
Sorry you are going through more physical stuff, you certainly don't seem to catch a break with all that. . . as for the tingly, not getting warm stuff, I wonder if some is related to vitamin/iron deficiency. . . just a thought. . . Glad you are not drinking under any and all conditions. . .
Pain can make one not think clearly. . . anyway, I wish you better health in the very near future!
Well Roxie put a monkey wrench into my plan for this morning, when I got up to go potty at 4 a.m., after being awake for over a half hour and not wanting to get up because I knew once I did she would get up and want to go out too. . . lol, anyway, sure enough she did and by the time all was said and done, it was 4:30 and I wanted to go back to sleep, which I did, but then I did not get up at 5:30 to go to the gym, but instead stayed in bed until 6:15, so I've packed my workout clothes and it will be to the gym after work, but I also have my AA homegroup meeting tonight, so it will be a late night, not home before 9:45 and I had wanted to dye my hair, as Tony is coming down tomorrow evening right from work. . . oh well, not like he has not seen my tinsel touched hair before. . .
Well I'm at work and time to get busy with some filing and the kind of stuff I tend to procrastinate on. . .
You all have a wonderful day and prayers and good thoughts to those of you facing challenges, may you all have the strength to get through another day of living!
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen
