How about that roll call?

Let's see how everyone is doing today. If you want to tell us good stuff tell us good stuff. If you want to tell us your struggling, get it off your chest...

I'll go first. I didn't see anyone had put up a roll call post so I did it this evening. I had a long day. Went grocery shopping with my 3 yr old and that usually takes 3 hrs alone. I also took her for her wellcheck and she's doing wonderfully. Dr. said she wasn't missing any meals When I got home and got my 5th grader home I had a really hard time. She's not a great student. BUT she has alot of people working with her. Me, my mom, dh and the teachers. She just doesn't take initiative and she simply wants to just play. Well, in the 5th grade things get a whole lot tougher than kindergarden. It is driving me crazy. I have a REALLY hard time dealing with this because I was always at least an average student. Dh was an accelerated student. Maybe we expect too much? anyway. I am ignoring my cravings right now and just trudging through this.

Happy birthday, Wolflet. And thanks for starting this thread, 4health. Great idea for getting to know each other better and getting some stuff off our chests, too.

Work has been a little easier this week. Less hours, which for me is really good. I am a consultant and my job tends to consume my life. I am struggling with life/work balance issues and this week I had a huge break through. I am willing to walk away from this contract for the sake of my recovery and health. I don't know yet if it will come to that, but just having the willingness is a really healthy step forward.

Other than work, what I love most in life are my two boys ( ) and my girl ( ). They put joy in my heart every day.

Hope you are well, ladies. Have a good evening.

hugs,

phinny

ummmm Italian.

Today had so many boo-boos that it became a comedy of errors. After awhile you just have to laugh!
Tomorrow I blitz out my resume, something I procrastinated so long that I was feeling like a failure, so I am pretty up about that.

And Happy Birthday Wolflet!!!!

See y'all tomorrow.

I had a great day. I went out of town on business with my H. The city we went to was having a Greek Festival. After we conducted the business we went to the festival we ate and danced it was fun. We have been to 3 different Greek Festivals this year!! H is Greek. Then after festival we bought a persian rug in an interesting little shop.

I am so glad H is still clean I am begining to stop holding my breath...

Oh ((((wolflet))) Happy Birthday
