Brrr, it's cold here this morning but at least it's dry. I going with DH downtown for an eye appointment this morning.
The new avatar is a picture of DH and me in front of the Duomo (cathedral) in Milan. Such a beautiful church.
I'm IN. Have a good day, y'all!

linda72,- lovely picture. Good luck to DH for his appointment. It's HUMP DAY!!! Friday is our last day. Then we are off until 1/2/19. I'm ready. The kids are ready! Mine are actually some of the best behaved in the school even though they are a little crazy right now. The lunch with the gen ed kids is a MESS! I pulled my kids out early yesterday because a fight started. I think we might eat in the room for the rest of the week. My kids don't need exposed to that behavior. I Know I was a bratty mouthy little thing in school. But I don't ever remember acting like this. I was in a math class yesterday and watched a kid actually argue with a teacher about filling out a self grading sheet saying "It's not my job, your the teacher you do the grading"! The sheet was to teach responsibility for their actions such as being prepared, using manners and staying on topic. It was three columns they checked yes or no, so it wasn't very difficult. I could not believe the attitudes and disrespect I'm seeing. I know- I sound like a grumpy old woman "back in my day..." Stay safe and warm everyone

Just finished placing a last minute Amazon order for 4 gifts...well, 1 gift and 3 gift cards. I'm heading to the High School to pack and put shipping labels on the end of course tests... hpeterson1951, I feel your pain. There is a definite difference in students (and teachers) since I started 27 years ago. The biggest thing we are seeing is the toxic stress that kids are experiencing and how they just don't seem to be able to cope. On the positive front...I weighed in this morning and I'm down another 3.2 pounds! I have never lost like this before...it has to be the addition of cardio and strength training to WW purple plan. I keep waiting for the losses to slow down, but with the exception of last week, they haven't. I'll take it while it lasts... Have a good day, everyone.

Morning all! I'm in. linda72 , fantastic pic of you and DH! After four days of rain and dark skies, we finally have some sun. My better half won the Christmas Trivia contest at work and came home with an enormous basket of holiday themed goodies including a throw blanket, cookie plate, kitchen towels, mugs, a dozen various Kuerig pods, chocolates and ornaments. I just love the basket everything came in - so fun! I'm planned and tracked and off to get my haircut. Hope everyone has a great day!
jette, congrats on your great WI

Good morning. I’m in. I was up, showered and shaved, and out very early to have fasting blood work done. Now back home sipping coffee. When I was getting dressed the cat sat in the doorway looking confused, as if to say: “WAIT. You look like you’re getting ready to leave and I haven’t had my pill…my breakfast. What gives?!” She was relieved once she got her due. The latest storm arrived this morning with dark skies and rain. No plans for the day, but I think the fireplace will play a role for sure. "It's not my job, your the teacher you do the grading"! Teacher: “Okaaaay: F”I weighed in this morning and I'm down another 3.2 pounds! Great weight loss. I hope it keeps going that way. I just love the basket everything came in - so fun! So is that like the cat loving the box the toy came in??? LOL.
Have a great day.

zazzles,- That's funny. Actually she just walked away. The disrespect, back talk, kids coming in late and just blatantly not doing their work drove me crazy. It's scary when the Autism Support Class is the best behaved class overall- and my kids bite

DebDoesWW,- I agree. I told Rick that if I had said that it would have gone straight to the office, then straight to my Dad and straight to my bum! No doubt about it.

DebDoesWW ,- I agree. I told Rick that if I had said that it would have gone straight to the office, then straight to my Dad and straight to my bum! No doubt about it. I’ve wondered for years what has happened to our society in general. No only don’t kids have any respect for elders (and others), but so many adults don’t either. We have gone from a society of “You first, then me” to “You and me together” to “Me first and the hell with everybody else.” When I was in K-12, MOST of us did everything we could to avoid going to the principal’s or dean’s offices. It had nothing to do with corporal punishment, but rather not wanting our images to be tarnished by having the authority figures think poorly of us.

Exactly Mike! I especially can't believe it when it happens here. One freaking rule. Be nice. Not real hard to understand.
I'm not talking when things get heated in a discussion, I'm talking about a person making fun of someone's grammar and then getting all pissy when it gets pulled. Really?!? There are 85 million snarky nasty boards where stuff like that is not only ignored but encouraged, we obviously are not one of them. 🙄
