Jen's Journal.....Baby Steps to a new me

[kimwim8]

i had no plans all weekend so i sat home in pjs...stupid move, i know

Stupid???? Nope. Makes me jealous.


Your family continues to be in my thoughts and prayers. How did dad make out at the doctor today?

Jen,

Staying at home in your pjs sounds like just what you needed to do. You needed time to process everything that has happened in a short period of time. Sometimes the very best thing to do is recoup. Added to that, work started today. Yes, you will be in a routine, but that is still another commitment. A weekend of vegging out with the tv is what you needed.

Take care and keep us posted.

Thanks everyone and sorry I havent been posting as much..Ive been so down and havent wanted to drag that onto the boards.

Other than the grandpa situation----im gettng ready to start the prek class im coteachng this year! we spent over 11 hours gettinig the classroom ready yesterday and i am EXHAUSTED!! We went to the shore to see my grandparents today and we have a picnic tomorrow.. Im enjoyng the long weekend before the kids start!

we have 23 kids n our class..everything is set and ready--i think the room looks great!

I am a bit bummed about not going to Disneyworld for my birthday which i know is 100% selfish..I know iim lucky to have this cruise in january, but ive always wanted some diisney magic on my bday!!

Things have been very stressed at home and ive been having meltdowns--Everyone s stressed and taking things out on each other...Ive been hiding n my room, at friend's houses, or just driving around because im so frustrated with everythng and everyone. Well, this too shall pass right?

Have a great weekend and thanks so much for checking in on me

Jen,

I wanted to let you know that you will not be a downer to us, if you post at this time. It sounds like you need a safe place to vent, so feel free. Besides, most of us are moms. Worrying/caring about others is our thing. Also, we'll worry when we don't hear from you. Just my thoughts.

I am so sorry that things are so bad at home. It will just take some time to adjust. Your family has been through a lot lately.

I am sure that the classroom looks awesome. THose are some really lucky kids to have you as their teacher.

Hi Jen,

I hope things are better at school. Is it just the nervous kids, or is it paranoid mothers? The weekend is here. Hopefully, you can do something for yourself with the time.

Take care,

I meant to ask you guys if anyone had an imagestation account? (www.imagestation.com)
If so , imagestation is closing and they are recommending that you try shutterfly..if you have an account wth imagestation , go on it and it gives you the option to try shutterfly---for transferrinig your pictures to them, you get a free photobook (20 pages)--i made a photo book of the colorado wedding which was a 30.00 value and just had to pay 7.00 for shipping!
