I thought this little guy and saying was particularly cute. It certainly applies to me. Hope I don't offend anyone out there, it's just to make you smile a bit.
Not much news today. Except for the last 3 nights I have had horrible sleeps. I wake up with the stranges dreams and then can't get back to sleep and it's only 2 in the am.. so I've been naughty and have taken a few extra meds. this helps but I feel groggy in the morning but it passes in a bout an hour.
I see my pdoc today. I always hate this. I have to tell this man that even with all the concotions I've taken I'm no better. Let me clarify that a little. I've been offf work since Feb 2006. I am a teacher of grade three, kids are 8 or 9. Usually have about 29 or 30 kiddies. We have a totally intergrated school. this means all students are in the school and the same classes as their same aged peers. this includes children that are blind, deaf,MS spina bifea, Students that have extremely low IQ's, major behaviour problems,ADHD and the list goes on. Usually we have very... limited support personel to assist us in managing these special needs students. When we do have an aide, we have to devise the plan to follow and the goals to be met and then train the aide. This on top off regular teaching and preparation. I arrived at school everyday by 7:00 and then only broke for a pee break at recess and noon ( ate an apple at my desk) I stayed until 5:00. Arrive home make supper, clean up then do 2 hours or so of homework. and some where in there took my daughter to various activities. By the end of the night I was so exhausted that I was lucky to get a shower. On top of all of that, I was a member of many groups. Eventually it all caught up with me and I had a total melt down just like I did 15 years ago. Okay, i lost track of my point. Oh, yeah, telling my pdoc I'm no better. I am certainly better than 2006 but not well by any stretch of the imagination. Put me back in the classroom and I wouldn't last an hour!!!! Sorry, I'm venting!!!!
On a happy note, I always have baskets of different sizes staggered up my stairs. This year I put a lot of effor into making them look christmasy. After Xmas I did not want to takee them apart so I bagged each one and labelled them. now I have no baskets. I fixed that in a hurry. Went to the Wicker Emporium and got 2 med and 1 small basket ( rectangle shape) I biught oodles of flowers like calla lilies, magnolias, babies breathe, German ivy and A plant I can pronounce. I did all three baskets and I was really... thrilled with the results. I then made one for my girlfriend, the one that's having a hard time. She just painted 3 rooms and the colors in the basket complimented the colors. she loved it. i'm so glad I could bring her a little happiness on a dreary day.
Well, gotta go and get in the hottub and ready for the pdoc. Be well, all my friends, Debbie

I remember working with you, we had a few laughs at the stupid things I did, like the copier!!! I know I couldn\'t do that today, there\'s just no way with my pain. I had pain when I was doing it then but I could hide it much bettter than I do now. I hope somehow you can get the combo of meds worked out and return to what you loved doing and were so good at.
Your flowers sound so pretty, I bet your friend was so happy with hers. I wish you all the best at your appt today, hugs Cathy
PS. I loved the cartoon picture and what he is saying!!!LOL
I sure wish they could help your through this Debbe. Keep your faith in God that it will come in His time. I am praying your pdoc appt goes well. Luv and hugs
i loved that picture ..it is me for sure...you are a wonderful friend..hugs .love marie
Debbie, you always have such vibrant pictures on here and today\'s is really cute. I\'m sorry you are still feeling less than your best and I will start to pray harder for some progress in your inner peace. Your comical insert has given me something to write about in my own journal too. See if you can\'t find it helpful too. Take care of yourself and sleep well tonight. Sylvia
Love the saying. I always thought I was a little cracked myself.I don\'t know how you managed to teach til 2006. I was exhausted just reading all you had to do. I can relate with the dreams. xoxox
