All I have ben able to think about all weekend is wrapping up my last week at work without spending hours of unpaid time doing it. I expect to get in trouble tomorrow for all the things I didn't do last Thurs, while I was doing all the other essential things I had to do. I will try and stay back tomorrow to get it all done as I can't stay back Wed and Thur.

Parent-teacher interview for younger son tomorrow.

Hope you all have a good Sunday.

Hey Fizzio, sounds like you have had a busy weekend, sucks that you could not rest.. We had a half way decent weekend, besides me not feeling well.

Last night I was talking about a cat that took up with us, lol, I found out it was a boy, he was close enough to me and turned around where I could see, he also let me pet him.. I came in and told Glenn it was a done deal, we had to get cat food..lol..

Todays Sunday, do you get to rest today at least?

It's Sunday night, so I'ii be in bed soon. I would love to have a cat, even a stray. We had 3 cats before we had 2 children, 1 got killed, 1 rehoused and 1 went to my f-i-l because he was a very jealous cat and we were concerned. Then a few years later when the kids were toddlers I got 2 kittens, and to our surprise my hb is now allergic to cats and gets an extreme reaction. He can stay in his mother's house about half an hour, other places he can't stay at all. It is heartbreaking for me as I love cats, we have a dog for the kids but I can't bond with it at all. It is totally needy and follows me EVERYWHERE I find it depressing and suffocating.

Thats sad, can hubby take something for his allergies? I'm with you on dogs, just have a hard time relating to them, love them but just not relating, guess I might have to consider one though or get this cat declared a service animal.

It actually lightened my mood some getting to pet him yesterday. Cant remember where I saw or read that a guy had either a cat or a monkey that was a service animal for his mental illness. the main reason the landlord doesn't want pets is fleas, hell in this place you can have fleas just out in the yard, one of my brothers had to spray his entire yard to get rid of them. If the cat or another one was to come live here, they would get flea collars, dips and meds, if the landlord was thinking he could get a deposit of a couple of hundred dollars non refundable..for allowing pets.. I know I would have considered it and still would.

I keep forgetting the time difference between us..lol..figure if it is morning for me, it is morning for you.. that sucks it is almost your Monday.. Looking at the clock just reminded me, time for me to go take my meds..

Hello, Carmen and Fizzio.

I can't believe I just have one more week off . Why does summer fly by? Guess I can't complain too much since I really like my job. It's just trying to get everything done and working too that is hard. Also, there is a new principal at my school this year. Everyone says she is a b****. I'm hoping to just do my job and not get noticed, lol.

I also love cats. I volunteer with my daughters at a cat shelter. I also have one indoor cat and 3 outside that came with the house (they were here when I moved in). I had a lovely cat for 17 years that just passed away last summer. I still miss her.

Hi, Tee,

There is nothing to get rid of the allergy. My hb would not have pets but after the first year of my illness he said I could have a 'therapy cat' whch he then fell in love with (secretly). Then we got 2 brothers that were Tonkinese, orientals like siamese. They were very smart and could open doors and get into all sorts of trouble. Pets can decrease blood pressure and our cats certainly helped my depression.

Whether a glass if half full or half empty depends on the attitude of the person looking at it.

When you come to the end of your rope tie a knot and hang on.

Good morning tp you. Good mornig to you. Hope all is well today good morning to you. I am cleaning and getting things around for the kids to start school tomarrow. I am cleaning and listening to hubby cause he went two days without meds. He had forgotten them. He took the last night but he's in pain and whiny. I just hope that they work for him.

Well I am sorry to hear that you are having a tough weekend fizzo. carmen I know how you feel. I had a mom with two kittens adopt my house last week. She was boney and her eyes were bad. I gave her tuna with some kitten formula on the side. Her eyes are clearing up and she's gaining her weight back.

Good morning tee. We got a new vp at our school he's tuff. STrict and runs the school like a boot camp. Trishy, hello hello. Goog morning hope your day is excellent. Thanks for all the support the past couple of days. You're the best.

Life is the hardest test a person has. There's no retakes and there's no erasers. So you have to just do you best.

Morning Tee, sorry to hear that the vacation is coming to a end, that stinks, as for the new principle? I don't listen to others opinions, I always let the person in question prove it for themselves, maybe if you treat her with kindness, she might actually turn out to be a good person.. sometimes the persons rep is distorted because of one person getting corrected for something they actually did wrong, and then they go into victim mode, Oh, she's a bitch cause she did so and so to me, other people, my husband included will take someone elses opinions as their own, instead of making their own... you do what you always do, a good job, and let her prove for herself that she is a bitch..

When Glenn and I got laid off from a company we both worked for, everyone said that the HR manager was such a bitch, that she rejoiced in doing the lay off, it actually killed her to have to do it.. she did what she had to do because it was her job, and then she got the ax too.. I still see her from time to time.. told her the last time I saw her, I finally found out why I had a occasion of being less than pleasant..lol.. told her I finally found out I was bipolar and that I was now on meds, she said, well that explains it..rofl..

Morning Trishy..how are you today?
