****Thrilling Thursday Roll Call****
Good Morning PA,
I am up late because I started working on a pattern for my granddaughter. She got the dress I made her, and she loves it. My daughter asked that I make the dresses longer. My granddaughter has really long legs and is tall, so I have to adjust patterns for dresses now. The pattern I am making is a top and shorts. It is red bandana fabric, so I am making a little head kerchief for her as well.
Thursday has me doing much of the same, as well as making some phone calls to doctors, and getting involved in more of this project I started. I also need to haul butt to an AA meeting.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Morning Trish & Pa,
Soooo....I was pretty busy yesterday and then couldn't fall asleep to take a nap and expected to be exhausted by 11pm, especially being out here in triage.
Surprisingly enough though, I've been pretty much awake. I'm sure the last portion of the shift will be quite different however.
Depending on how I feel once I get home I might do a quick baking thing and then get to bed....nothing terribly exciting.
Back to work tonight, 7p-7a Last night of the week and then I have 3 off! yay!
Enjoy!

Hi Trish and PA. At work today expecting it to be uneventful I hope LOL.
I have my womens appt LOL today after work then if I can get there. to the gym to meet up with Rochelle, It could be a real time squeeze. Then I am home to pack. and get the house ready for the cleaner. We are heading to our friends cabin in MD on friday after work for the weekend. I am looking forward to it, but I always have BIG anxiety about staying with people like that. Even friends. Family not so much, but it will definately be an excercise in anxiety management.
I hope you all have a great day

Good Morning Trish & PA;
I'll be working today from 7:30 to 4:00. Will probably arrive late to work since it is already late.
Hopefully today will be a more normal day at work. This past week has been so crazy. I have not worked on one thing that I had planned all week, other things keep taking me off track that have to be addressed immediately.
After work not sure if I'll make it to the gym today or not. All week in addition to work being crazy I also have not left work on time once this week. Too many crisis happening that have prevented my on time departure.
When it rains it pours. I found out that another friend and pastor collegue of Gene's, father passed on Monday. The memorial service is tomorrow. Not sure if I'll be able to get off for that with this short notice. We'll see I submitted my request last evening when I found out.
Hope everyone has a great day. Sounds like it's going to be a beautiful one. Hoping I will be able to get away from my desk at lunch to take a walk. Again that has been impossible this past week with the craziness at work. It is not just me, our entire department is is a bit of upheavel.

Hello all,
I ended up spending the day with my hubby yesterday. I guess my discipline needs tweeking. Anyway, we will see today if my schedule got changed to I can spend Tuesdays working the practice tests.
Today is a day of work. I'm looking forward to Friday and Saturday with the Maple Festival.

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.
Good morning Trish and everyone - I am still at home - thinking that now that testing is done....THANKFULLY!!!!...I wonthave the time to sit and play with you all - those kids will want me to teach them something...go figure.... So I am getting an early start.
School until 3:15 - I am sure there will be some drama as there has been every day this week - and sadly NOT with the kids! OY! After school I am headed to get my hair cut and colored - not necessarily in that order! And then come home and enjoy my last day as a 40 year old! :) (Yet another birthday without my mom....sigh...) She always made me feel like a queen...yes - the "All About Me" attitude is ALL her fault! :)
That is my exciting day....Hope you all have a nice one! :)

Thrilling Thursday? Well, I'll be thrilled if I get a fraction of my "to do" list accomplished!
I have a pile of work to tackle, and some important calls and follow ups to do - this is a challenge because I am working at home today and have several interruptions with service people coming to the house (trying to get things clustered and DONE for spring around here!).
At lunch I am getting my hair cut short. I had some taken off a couple of weeks ago, leaving it at an odd in between length that never looks right. I have NO talent with hair styling so I need to go short for summer....something that can be washed, dried, and done!
Then...more work....a church meeting tonight which means I have to drive up to Harrisburg. Not too bad a drive, but there is one stretch of 283 that spooks me because we have had 2 car/deer accidents there. I now call it "The Deer Highway."
Enjoy your day everyone. It looks to be a beautiful one outside!

Morning Trish et. al
Yesterday's teacher conferences went as expected. Siehara is a bright, fun, caring, spirited student who would do so much better if she would be more responsible with her homework and if she would focus more in class. No surprises. I did get to talk to the head of Hebrew and Judaic studies about her issues with her Hebrew teacher. He was wonderfully supportive and spoke to Siehara about some options for making that class better for her. I also mentioned to him that between the Hebrew teacher and now the principal leaving that I was pretty sure Siehara would not be returning there in the fall. He led me to believe that it was not the principal's choice to leave. He did not tell me in so many words, but that is definitely the picture I got. He told me to respond to the email I received letting them know that I was considering pulling my child because of this decision. hmmm.. now I really want to know what's going on.
Thursday morning.. I'm up working and will be here til 3:30 per usual.
After work, I have an appointment with my therapist. I think today will be spent talking to her about my dilemma with Siehara's schooling for next year. I also want to see if she can help me with more effective ways of getting her to do things she doesn't want to do and demanding her respect. For instance, this morning.. she got in the shower as instructed. I went in to be sure she was washing because she has the tendency to just stand under the water forever without actually using soap. She said she washed, but I wasn't convinced so I made her do it again "for me" while I stood there. I then asked her about washing her face. She didn't want to wa**** I told her she had to and it would help her acne problem if she did it on a regular basis. She refused. So, I told her if she didn't do it, that she couldn'****ch TV today. Then, she proceeded to cry instead of just washing it.. So, I told her no TV... yeah, that worked.. NOT. I don't know what the big deal is. I know it's not about washing her face, it's about a power struggle. But, how do I win. This is not one of those battles that I want to just not fight. I don't argue with her about many things because they are not worth it, but cleanliness is one I HAVE to fight.
Anyway, enough about my lovely child. After therapy, I will pick up said child and her friend from dance. After I drop her friend off at home, I will take Siehara home to get some dinner and then head back over to the gym.
Hope everyone has a great day!
