meanmom-- it takes someone special to deal with the difficult children. pat yourself on the back! sounds like your 'teacher' needs to understand and respect what you do. give her a quarter to buy a clue. you may have an actionable 'hostile environment case'. have you documented any of her abuses? she sounds horrendous. i had to work with an idiot once, for 5 years. seemed like 500! i finally couldn't take anymore and left at the end of the year. ironically, so did she! no problem, i was meant to be in a different place! i'm sending you hugs!
on the dq swap i was surprised by a comment one of my friends made. i had forgotten to sign up for june's swap, and she said " you were doped up all month, no wonder you forgot". i was at first shocked, and then realized, she was right! i was ! no wonder i probably haven't lost! lol.! i need to put new batteries in the scale, but until i can bend over, that will have to wait!! i had my second epidural on wednesday and thought i would be fine today, but evidently i was a trifle optimistic. i see improvement but i'm not moving with any ease, and i'm still relying on the pain meds. tomorrow, surely!! it has been such a week!!! i am so tired of the drama! i had to check with my dh to be sure today is friday! june will be a better month!! i'm hoping to persuade my husband to help me dye some fabric tomorrow. see....i'm expecting to feel great!
on the plus side-- no bad snacks, just apples and a few corn chips. i'm drinking my water, which provides me with exercise as i get out of bed and waddle to the b.r. how many calories is that? not enough i'm sure! tomorrow, tomorrow, i love ya, tomorrow, you're only a day away!

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. Only 3 more days.I am looking for a different job but it doesn't look promising. There are huge cuts being made. I have worked for the schools for 11 years and hate to loose the retirement. I have finally been there long enough that it actually will amount to something.
Nancia I hope you do feel better tomorrow. It sound like you have had a really rough month. Prayers going out to you.

Our May winner is Everose with 7.2 lbs lost. congrats on your continued weight loss journey.

Ok, congratulations Everose!!!!. I did not report my weight loss yes but I stayed even. No gain, no loss. I can't complain considering that I was in a wheel chair for the month.
The last two days I went on the Central Coast Quilt Run. We hit 4 shops in two days. There were 12 on the run and we threw in two more that we knew of and even hit one of them twice. I am exhausted. I used a cane most of the time. Needed my walker for the last couple yesterday. I am complete exhausted!! My foot hurts, my back hurts, my knee hurts and I am shaking. I don't think I could go into another shop. I am now home and I am not cooking dinner. I have nothing left to give.

Bought lots of pretty fabrics and stuff though. I surely helped the economy this weekend. In a few I will pull out my today's purchases and pet them and show them to my wonderful husband. He just brought me a glass of water and is asking what he can put together for dinner. I sure love that man!!!!
Ok, I need to just veg.....
I am in again for next month. You already have my Fat Quarter~

congratulations Everose. I will try to follow what's happening with you all. Forgot to sign in for June, but wish everyone well.

elm, it's not too late. Pop over to the June thread and join us.

Gayle, you did a great job being on your feet for two days so soon sfter surgery. You have a right to rest.

I think Cindy will close this thread soon so come on over to June.

I didn't get to go along with the group this month. I've been in such a tizzy moving and everything I had no time for nothing but that. I will say I lost 5 in 2 weeks from running and forgetting to eat! I'd love to say I'm that going to keep it up and keep going but I'm not so sure I can after it slows down. But I'm proud of everyone that tried to lose. We all know it's not an easy task. Congratulations to the winner!! If I can find out when to have my "skinny q" in I may try to keep up this June! Good day to all!!

elm and Momma_K, here is the new thread to sign up and start posting. Excellent weight loss, Momma_K.
