So tonight I'm in a hotel across the freeway from Alliance Airport, attdning Natural Helpers training with 29 teens and a smattering of adults from school. At this moment we're having "activity time"; the kids are in a large room across the hall playing noisy games. I'm checking in online, fighting sleep, waiting for bedtime.
So far today we've done trust exercises and practiced active listening skills. I've also eaten entirely too much - donut, pizza, barbeque. If I outgrow these jeans, I'm sunk. I'm already in my "fat jeans". The Program begins in earnest Monday. Really. Remind me of that when I cheat, please.
I'm enjoying these kids - mostly freshmen and sophs with a few juniors. They're smart and cute and friendly. And I've had a chance to talk with a few teachers whom I haven't known very well, so that's cool too. One has a truly hideous Boston terrier. Our SRO led a session tonight - he was pretty crazy and a really good singer. At the beginning he sang the entire song from Willy Wonka (I dunno the name, the one about imagination) and at the end he sang a Mr Rogers song. But it worked.
I've been thinking about hubby and how miserable he is at work. I hope we can find something else for him soon, or else figure out how to live on MUCH less income. I don't know what to do, but something has to change. I feel really bad for him.
Night.

Glad you are having a nice time.
And what a perfect time for some changes, as the New Year is just around the corner! Keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out for the best. I'm sure it will.
Sounds like a fun time. And yummy food too. Perhaps we can help each other get back on the straight and narrow food-wise as I'm being really bad these days too.
Fingers crossed for Tex. Hope some kind of solution comes up.
Oh, and I used to check blogs daily too (not that I was stalking anyone as Hez clearly is - haha), but then people stopped posting frequently and I switched to weekly, but if you keep this up I'll need to be "not stalking" you every day again.
