Cschmitz110515 - I admire your perseverance for doing a winter 5K
Faebert - I really hope you have a TA this week. I remember when I was a TA having to help with two classes if another one was out. The teachers all felt stressed those days.
13ecca4 - my MIL always has food out like that too. She’ll even throw more on your plate at a meal if she thinks she’s going to have leftovers. I wouldn’t dream of doing that.
Bookmeister86- any loss is better than a gain!
Maryrobinson40- 330 am???? Why? My husband sleeps poorly and does this too. I feel for you.
Roundbutsound - love you screen name! Keep coming back I credit this group for helping me lose 25lbs so far.
Nlmackey98- how old are your children? I remember those teen years when it seemed everyone was going in s different direction. I finally put my foot down and made them take one Sunday a month for a family dinner. It made them have to speak up and not commit to something.
Aubyshortcake - is strong curves a You Tube series?
Bex953172 - oh Bex that is a lot of pressure to put on you, is it at Tribunal that you can discuss his outbursts and reactions? If you go to work who would watch the girls? I assume he couldn’t for long hours at a time. I’m so sorry you are in this situation, I wish Mental Health was more understood and acknowledged.
Clicketykeys- you need a big old house with 10 foot ceilings filled with shelves from floor to ceiling.
Update - hubby got furnace going once more. We think it’s a switch that will cost around 40 to replace and he thinks he can do it himself. We just need to order it tomorrow on Amazon. Hopefully he can keep it going until the part arrives. For a repairman to even come look it is 90.00!
Why did I ever think being a grown up would be fun!

Kiddos are 13 & 16. The one drives and often carts her sister about. The older only has one comittment, but it's 4:00-6:00 M-F & 10:00-12:00 Saturday. The younger is into theater and takes tennis once a week. Very manageable most weeks, but hubby is working late, the dogs have a vet appointment and my daughter's car is in the shop. It will be fine. Tennis was canceled today so everyone should be home by 6:30ish. Family dinner night is the plan. Not sure what I'll cook... We almost always do a family lunch Sunday after church and get a few meals together during the week. It's one of my favorite things that we do.
I hope your "adulting" starts running a little smoother.

Oh @snowflake1968 what stressful times! Glad the furnace is working again and hoping the dream was prophetic!
@Bex953172 - how annoying re disability! And also that Ash is putting it all on you. Hugs love, hope you can successfully appeal.
@clicketykeys - nice library! I have slacked on reading for pleasure in the last year or so but I need to get back into it as I love the feeling of a ‘real’ book rather than an electronic device.
No TA again today - am exhausted and seriously stressed about how bad our class assembly will be on Wednesday. Didn’t even get a break as had a speech and language therapist in to meet me about a child and was also observed by a student teacher. Have come home to make the kids dinner and haven’t even taken my coat off yet! Need a break 😔3 -
@snowflake1968. Glad to hear you have heat and phones. Finger crossed that they call you for interview and that you get the job you are dreaming about.
@Bex953172 Sorry to hear of your ongoing struggles. I worked with someone who dismissed a lot of personal challenges with the phrase "sh1t happens". It sounds as if you know that experience rather too well. Sending you hugs.
@maryrobinson40 that's a very early start! If I got up at that time I'd struggle with the rest of the day.
@Faebert I hope the week gets easier for you, try not to stress about the assembly. I suspect you have very high standards that are not shared by everyone else! I know the value of high expectations but don't let them take over!

Yup, we definitely have a lot of books. I went to the American Library Association's national convention back in 2009 and 2011, and I got lots and LOTS of "free" books (included with the cost of registration). I focused on getting mostly young adult titles and some middle grade titles, since I teach high school. I use these for a classroom library.1

There are lots of struggles going on here right now. And of course, we all understand that life is truly made with stretches of time when life's waters are wrapping us in gentle waves, and then moments when we are caught in a tumultuous raging storm. Some days it seems it's never ending, not enough time to take a breath before the next big wave comes to pound and drench us.
But we are a group of women in whom I have found a fountain of fortitude and an insurmountable source of strength. We lift each other, we walk beside one another. We hurt and cry and laugh with one another. And we allow one another to be where we are, yet have the uncanny knack to spur each one to be better. We are blessed.6 -
Yay, I managed today's small goals 8340 steps done and 15 mins of bodyweight exercises - squats, lunges, plank, wall sit, hip lifts and another one I don't know the name of but it's a type of crunch that doesn't hurt my neck I'll add more goals as I get into this. Thinking about tomorrow now4

Yay thats awesome!
I usually do all those too, well, sometimes in the kitchen when im cooking LOL. Better than watching it cook!
I also do tricep dips too.
Im not very good at lunges though, i always wobble!4 -
Bex953172 thanks, I forgot about tricep dips I'll add them next time. I wobble when I do most exercises, unless I'm sitting or lying down as I have a medical condition that seriously affects my balance. Just got to keep trying and do my best

Late getting on here again today. I hopped on earlier and got caught up reading, but then had meetings all day. We supposedly have 5" of snow falling tonight and 6-12" more falling throughout the day tomorrow. I'm really praying that it stops before Thursday so our flight to AZ isn't cancelled! I will be so upset if something messes up our trip...
Yesterday, my hubby drove me around to the stores so I could clothes shop. He must've wanted to get out of the house so he pretended I needed someone to drive me through the snow! LOL! He's such a sweetie pie! Love him! Anyway, I bought a pair of jeans that are comfortable, two pairs of capri jeans and two pairs of shorts. The things I bought in pairs, I bought a size larger than I've been wearing since the size I've been wearing have been feeling tight and uncomfortable. I also bought a shirt I liked. It's nothing fancy. It's actually a plaid flannel shirt but I've always been a flannel shirt type of girl. Never been a real dressy person.
@cschmitz110515 I am so proud of you and impressed that you ran the Seroogy's! OMG! It was sooo freaking cold out, I never left the house! Of course, I'm a wuss, but still...GO YOU!

It's really bad for me since different stressors came the past three months.
I will be fine. Only now, black outs happen unexpectedly, it's like
I'm sitting up and without dozing, I fall asleep, but it doesn't last.
LMBO... I just had a thought. Maybe not having a man isn't so bad.
I would have to explain why I'm snoring during intimacy😂😂
Poor fella might take it personally. Haaaaa!
