Friday's Question of the Day: What old and new shows are you looking forward to this season?
We dvr a lot of shows and I watch most. My returning favorites are The Middle, Modern Family, How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, Up all Night, The Big Bang Theory, Glee, and Cougar Town. As you can see, I love 30 min comedies. I don't feel like I have time for hour long dramas lol. I am most looking forward to Go On. So far, I am loving it. I am also watching The Voice and X Factor when I have nothing else to watch. They are fun shows.
Working in a traditional school setting is stressful enough. I cannot IMAGINE working in your situation. Plus not getting enough support!!?? It must be insane! I'm sure that your stress level is insane!
Pixie dust that your work days start improving!!
Thanks for the supporting words. Unfortuately, the stress helped my car drive to Panera Friday morning and I got a pumpkin muffin. Found out later that it's 16 points+ (I knew it wasn't healthy, but I didn't think it would be 16)!! At least I enjoyed every bite lol.
Saturday QOTD: Are there any foods that you would never eat or try before you set out on this journey to healthier eating? What have you found that you really love now?
I actually enjoy trying new foods and there really isn't much I do not like. Although, for the life of me, I cannot stand beets. Yuck. Anyhow, I have discovered that I like zucchini and squash a lot. My mom never used those growing up, so I'm trying to get my family to try them. Oh, and butternut squash ravioli is to die for. Not healthy, but delicious!

Hey Jill, I am so sorry. I used to work in a building where I would get dumped on too. (It gets old really fast!) I am now very lucky to work in a building with some great co-workers and an awesome principal. However, at the beginning of this school year, some of my co-workers that I used to work with starting causing some issues that were about to affect us. Our principal stepped in and stopped it. My only concern is that I am pretty sure my principal is going to retire next year and I am very worried about who will fill her shoes. I have had 8 principals over my working career and I have had some REALLY bad ones. I really hope your job turns around. (Insert a hug smilie here!)
My husband's birthday is this Thursday. My mom today called and said, "Don't make a cake. I have one for my DS's birthday." .... now some back history on this is that my mom sees a cake reduced at our local grocery store's bakery and buys it then freezes it for some later date. Now, the cakes aren't that great when the are fresh ... let alone when they have been frozen! I told my mom that my DS does not want this kind of cake for his birthday ... but my mom has insisted that he will love it.
Now ... I get home and tell my DS this story and he just shakes his head (because he doesn't want this cake). I told him that she won't listen to me and that he has to man-up and tell her tomorrow that he doesn't want it. And the wimp says, " We will just have her cake." I kept telling him he is a chicken to tell her and he kept laughing saying I won't be her favorite if I tell her! I told him, I don't want any complaining and he better eat his piece of this cake!
(I think I will be pouring water over the rest of the cake once my Mom leaves.)
Thank you for your kind words and hug. I'm just going to do my job and try to not worry or stress about stuff I cannot control. I just wish my boss would man up and take care of things that the teachers have been complaining about for a couple years now!
This cake story cracks me up. It sounds like something my grandma would do. I love that DS wants to be her favorite, so he'll just smile and eat the cake. Too funny! Let us know how it was

Okay, confession time. I did not eat good yesterday or today. And, I didn't exercise. I did, however, go to 2 grocery stores, the meat market, the pet store, a local store that sells everything and opened it's Christmas Lane to walk thorugh (I'll explain later), 2 Halloween stores, and Target. Whew. And, I am happy to report that DS6 got his Halloween costume~a ninja. DS9 is still undecided after looking at thousands of costumes (as if a new idea will magically appear that we haven't seen yet lo)l.
So, this local store we have (it's called Kraynak's) has a huge greenhouse and I went to get mums. They also have an awesome Christmas Lane (and Easter) where they decorate tons of trees and put up themed rooms. It's hard to explain, but people come from all over to see this and closer to Christmas there will be long waits just to get in. They also have tons of toys that are hard to find (I swear they have every version of Monopoly ever made), Thomas stuff galore, all kinds of trains, candy that is also hard to find, and rooms full of decorations. So, I say to the kids, hey, let's look at the Christmas villages. Well, don't you know they had 3 Dept 56 Disney village houses 1/2 off!! Score! I bought all three and now have more Disney decorations
I got Pluto's Pet Shop, Mickey's Treehouse, and Donald's Toy Store. I am so giddy that I want to put them up now lol. When DH woke up, he just shook his head and laughed. He knows just to let me have this obsession
I also managed to clean the bathroom and sweep the dining room. I still need to mop it. I am going to get ready to start a load or 2 of laundry so I can relax a bit tonight. Oh, and DSs want to make Christmas lists. Little do they know that I hit up the Target clearance at the end of July and all I have left to get them is a couple
Lego sets.
DSs are watching Mulan 2 right now. I didn't even know there was a Mulan 2. We watched Disney's Robin Hood last night. They loved it. I can't believe it's from 1973.
Is everyone enjoying fall so far? It was a perfect fall day here in western PA. The leaves are changing and it was sunny and cool. I hope tomorrow is the same so I can get a nice long run in. I haven't run in awhile and I am missing it. What? Did I just say I miss running? Boy, I never would have thought that would come out of my mouth!
I hope anyone doing the ToT Ten Miler has a blast. It was a goal of mine to do this race, but finances just didn't allow. We are planning a WDW vacation next year and hoping I can make it over this weekend. I would love, love love to do a Disney race.
Ok, enough rambling, bring on the laundry. Be back tomorrow.
Jill
And on that trip I must have been in a shopping mood (very rare for me!) because everything in the Christmas store looked adorable and I wanted it all! 
My 3 wishes are just the usual--nothing major. Being the only person without testerone in my house, I don't get the remote very often! The tv seems to be stuck on ESPN! However, for years Saturday nights we watched Globe Trekker. Now the family doesn't care about it because it's a repeat or pieces of older shows to make a new one, so we don't watch it too often. We just started watching Big Bang Theory and Doc Martin and I try to watch Mystery! on PBS. That's pretty much it for my tv. I haven't tried any new food, mainly because we're pretty diverse already. Just trying to fit more fruits and veggies in.
