Yep, I 'm with both (Boo and Jods) of you about the full moon.

Jods,

Mummy volcano that is pretty funny. We are well finally, after all of those colds (etc). I officially started leave on Monday, although I still have some work outstanding tidy ups..........I'm on leave and won't be going back to that job full time. Its good to have a rest as the little baby on board (whom we also call affectionately Boo) and the toddler are very exhausting. Baby is not due until November but I just had too much going on. Now all we have left to do is this damn house move and finally I can nest! Take care of you.

Hope everyone else is well.

Enjoy the time off Kerrie-Ann!!

I think I need to get out of Los Angeles for a while, any one have any suggestions? Its too noisy/busy

Today I feel (med withdrawals and associated symptoms)
a low energy level
irritable
physically unhealthy
can't be still
impatient
preoccuped with myself
(yep, I'm back to using my "feeling" list, on my own all I could come up with is 'I feel like crap' )

Kind of down this morning.
I just watched the cnn rebroad cast of this horrable day. You know I could not watch any of the docs about this day before but I made myself watch this. Unlike most news events in the world this day seemed to real and unreal at the same time.
There is a whole country to the south of me that needs a big hug today.

I'm all intense today. School just started!! I have to get organized so that I don't pull my hair out!! The first week is always the worst week! I'm feeling overwhelmed with the amount I need to do but that will pass as soon as I get organized and get cracking!

I have bronchitis, so I feel like crap. The emergency doc refused to put me on antiboitics cause I'm not sick enough yet. Good greif, how sick do I have to get?? Dumb doc. So now I have to wait for Thursday to get anything and just have to suffer through it. Plus, I have to call into work because it's viral and I can spread it on top of how ill I feel. Looking forward to that! NOT.

Anyways, it is a good day despite all the griping!

Bec

Not even watching TV (on purpose)
But still remembering not only all those who lost their lives, but those who lost family and friends.
And thinking of the world and how we've all lost a bit.

I'm avoiding TV too. Also been thinking of a few people on this forum who were directly affected by 9/11. Hope you are looking after yourselves today more than ever.

what a day! i felt a little down, but not too bad, just another rainy monday. i was mumbling under my breath about indoor recess, and how much i hate it. one of my little boys(almost 5) came in with a cold, runny nose, etc. about half-way through our first hour, his nose was making me nauseous, so i asked him to go get a tissue. what a surprise when he pulled a red bandana out of his pocket. i was immediately in that room again. i had to just sit down in the floor, skirt and all, and try to calm down. after i got ahold of myself, i asked him to put it away, and he did. but i could not concentrate and i was shaking so hard. i went to the office and asked our administrator to please see if he could get him to give it up, and keep it for him. he knows about the ptsd, and seemed to understand, and removed it for me. i still have no idea what we covered today. i think they mostly played while i sat, shaking with my head down. i know that things like that won't happen every day, but how do you deal with it? now i can't get things off my mind again. i feel like a total failure as a teacher.help????????

:biggrin: I was discharged from the hospital yesterday....they wanted to dis me on Sat. ....however I had a very bad day and wanted to see the Dr.before I left....so he didn't come to Sat. eve....then I drove about 15 minutes farther east and stayed with friends overnight....I felt that it would be a winddown from the structured hospital life....It was!!!! I enjoyed cable TV [can't afford it at home] while my friend went to her AA meeting....I had a good time chatting with my friends!!! They had come to the hospital last Monday eve. ....I really liked having visitors as I have never gotton any there!!!! ....They brought me a plush lilac dark purple dinosaur....In our conversation my one friend told me about an e-mail address of one of her profs....so I named my dinosaur--Wanckers.....I sure have gotton many laughs with that one!!!! I had a local priest visit as I had a spiritual question for him....and I had Wanckers with me....I sure sweated it out!!!....if he asked its name...I couldn't lie!!...he didn't....[in case you all don't know--the name stands for the male body part that females don't have] ....There were 5 of us women who really bonded....It was a very sad farewell when I left....we all are going to stay in touch!!! GOOD NEWS!!!! When I got home my building manager was by the mail room....she said that there was an opening in Oberlin!!!!! Where I have been trying to move!!!! One catch--I have to pass an inspection before I can have the keys....that leaves me 2 days to get this place in shape!!! I have some feelers out to get some people to help me...hope I can get this done by Friday am!!!...so I'll not be posting til Friday pm....wish me luck!!!!! :crazy-eye ....wildfirewildone
P.S. I am feeling so much better!!!! I rode home with both front windows down and with Irish music playing!!!! Soooooooo coooooool!!!! I just felt so in love with being alive!!!! ....KEEPING the PEACE
