I am sure that MC will want us to open the night shift so the doors are open. It is taco bar night. So help yourself to create a taco just the way you like it! The fountains are flowing--the margaritas are excellent!
Pull up a chair and share your day with a few friends, a kitteh or two, and remember whether your day is beginning or ending friends are waiting here for you!
Hey there Soxsmom, pulling up a nice comfy chair as we speak with a good book and a kitteh to relax me. Oh and can't forget the margarita, woo hoo.

Husband is trying to sedate me--I am about to go stark raving mad! They told me I will not be allowed to return to work until all my restrictions are lifted! That is crazy. It isn't like I have to lift little kids! I don't lift 50 pounds on a daily basis and I sure don't need to lift 50 pounds to do my job! I teach English for God's Sake! I am very upset! I can not believe they are doing this!
Thanks for opening night shift, Sm. Kicking back with a taco and a beer. Good news on Amy, all is well with the world. Pass me that little orangie tabby, please! Thanks, she is a purrer. Waiting for the rest of the crew.

Hang in there, SM, they are only making sure you recover well. Do what they say, even though you may not like it. You must get well and not ever have this happen again. The kids are not the problem, it's the turkey! Stay calm. Are you home or still in the hospital? Hope you go home soon if not there already.

I don't have that much time in sick leave. They will start charging me to pay for my sub. So staying home will end up costing me money--I really am concerned about that. My contract says I have to lift up to 50 pounds. This is very distressing. I know for a fact there are teachers in the building that can't lift that by themselves and they are not being released. I am truly distressed.
Evening everyone. ((SM)) I am sorry about everything SM, that does suck. I hope it works out for you.
How is everyone tonight? We just got both girls in bed...ahhhh blissful quiet....

Enjoy it while it lasts, CM!
I'm at the gym waiting for one more person to leave and then I'll get out of here early - yay!
Lost my tennis match today. Old Boss' wife used to play on the team we played against, and she came out to watch. I haven't seen her since she got sick and she looks terrible. She did 4 rounds of chemo and had two to go, but decided against it since they were making her so sick. She did at least seem to be in good spirits.
Out early is nice GD. Sorry to hear about your Old Bosses wife. Cancer sucks.

Thanks for opening the taco bar, SM! Sorry to hear of what's happening at school. Do you have any idea how long you could potentially be out? Hang in there. On the bright side, we get to see a lot more of you!! (was that a comma splice? I'm really bad with those...smile)

Gosh Beth what a scary thing to happen! I'm going to go put my floodlights on. It always bothers me cuz I think I'm helping them to see what they are doing if they want to break in, but all the experts say it deters criminals. I'm going to bed shortly and will put them on momentarily. Glad you are all safe!

hi all
that is great news about amy. sorry i've been away so long, all is well with me. i would love to join the christmas card list again. how do i do it. it was great fun for me last year, and lifted my spirits at a time of year, when you live by yourself, can be a bit depressing. not that i really live by myself, with all the crew that i have in my house, but i think you know what i mean.
and thanks for the welcome back from jcat and soxmom - i thought no one would remember me :)
yes keep your flood lights on , we always have our outside lights on at night and i keep a light on in the dining room which is near the back of the house.. i have adt stickers all over my windows and outside doors , someone stole my ADT sign so i just got more stickers .. lol... i was shocked that i was stupid enough to open the door to a starnger.. luckily i was strong enough to push the door closed..and lock ddown the house.. they were yelling " we know your in there" and banging on the door... the police said ' we can hear them yelling and banging on the door" .. it was scary.. but i kept everyone calm ..and then i started balling after the police left..lol.. we all had a group hug and i kept the kids in for the rest of the day to feel safe... i was shaking like a leaf afterword.. the only reason why i let the plumber come was because i had to get the toliet fixed ... lol...be very careful these days...
just poking my head into the nightshift cafe as GizzysUncle has just come home and we're about to slip over to our local Lebanese retaurant for something on skewers. So good to get great news about Amy. And what a story, Beth. So glad you have security in place. Sleep tight all.

amen poochi.. it was scary and i didn't sleep all night i was in shock.. yes the world is changing, and it is frightening... i will be more careful now more than ever i promise... i guess that was my wake up call to be on guard.. thank you God and st michael for protecting us ..
Beth what a scare--I am glad you were quick and got him out of your door! Your neighbors should be thrilled that you have these thugs out of your neighborhood.
Poochi7! I am glad you are back tonight, I missed you yesterday. Do you have last years Christmas List? I will be happy to forward the list if you would like.
As for my job--I want to work and there is no Earthly reason I need to lift 50 pounds to teach English.
beth, yes, thank God and St. Michael for helping to protect you and your family.
soxmom, you are amazing. surgery a few days ago and you are up and about. sorry to hear about your silly school regs, hope there is a solution for you, and english teachers are sooo in demand.
i don't have last years christmas card list. my computer died that had the list, and i need to get a new list. everything was lost when the computer went kaput. i would be very appreciative if i could get a copy from you. my email is: bowwowpoodle@yahoo.com thank you abundantly and continue your recovery to wellness. bobby
