Guy's Gossip

Tomorrow is my birthday. I usually look forward to a huge celebration because I was born on my mother's 23rd birthday and my youngest daughter was born on my 33rd birthday. To still be able to have a 3 generation birthday is awesome and we always have fun. I'm not as excited as I should be though.... Sign in to see full entry.

Today was supposed to be my first day of part-time work. I walked into the IR teacher's room and asked her what I should do for the 15 minutes between MTSS and the time I pick up the kids for lunch since we are supposed to always "look busy". Imagine my surprise when she said she didn't know and by... Sign in to see full entry.

I start part-time on Monday. I don't know how we will make it financially, but my body certainly says thankyou. Standing all day has just wreaked havoc on me. I am just putting it in God's hands and know that he will get us through. He's brought us this far and that in itself is a miracle. Back out... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh boy! Today we got a new survey. This one is entitled "health and wellness." We paras were all in the IR room together when we got the email and we all just looked at each other and deleted it.

The problem is we paras do not know who has decided this, why they decided it, or what to do about it. If you remember, last year I fell over a kid and ended up with a bulging disk and...

I think I am still in shock, but it's a wonderful kind of shock. My youngest daughter who has all the health problems called at 10:30 the other night. I always get scared when I get those late night phone calls. They are seldom good news. HOWEVER, this phone call was a huge shock! She said, "Mom,... Sign in to see full entry.

We went to Manhattan for my granddaughter's 7th birthday. She is Wild Child's daughter so of course, she had to have a rock'n'roll dance party. So fun! My daughter went on Amazon and found these toy microphones that fit on your head like the pop stars wear, bright colored clip-in fake hair pieces,... Sign in to see full entry.

Daughter #3's doctor called with the results of her latest ct scan. Should be no surprise to us by now, but somehow they can't find the tumor. Either it has dissolved by itself for some strange reason after three years or it has shifted and is behind an organ. At any rate, they have decided to do an... Sign in to see full entry.

For me, the first three steps were the most difficult. Especially admitting that I was powerless and had no control over alcohol. What?! I was definitely not powerless over some liquid in a bottle. After all, there was certainly no genie in the bottle. And I kept strict control over everything in my... Sign in to see full entry.
