ANOTHER MANIC MONDAY

After having time off for the past 2 weeks and all the celebrations that went on...it is time to go back to work and let me say how hard it was. Today we had 3 knew babies start in my room and can we say alot of crying was going on....yes, it was all of us (me included) let us hope and pray this ends soon....(LOL).

It is also serious time to get back on my weigh*t watch*ers track and get it together...but it was a week end of eating and not doing enough to change that....lets hope that gets better to....

In honor of Monday here are the lyrics for Manic Monday by the bangles to try to get you thru this day...


Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun

Have a great Monday...I forgot to mention I received a pin from one of my parents and it says Believe. She told me it was to remind me that I can believe that I can do this weight loss journey. I will try to post a picture on Wednesday. Hopefully my power cord will be delivered for my laptop.

I'M SO PROUD

My brother and niece were honored today. They are very involved in Indian Princess. Here is alittle bit about the award that they received today......




Joe Friday was an Ojibway Indian, He was the main inspiration of Harold S. Keltner who founded this organization back in 1926.
So we give out an award once a year in his honor. This award goes out to an Officer who has gone above and beyond his regular elected duties. This Officer has been there to help out all year. Whether it was to collect pallets for the Council Fires or help out at all the recruiting rallies. We never had to ask him to help he would come to us and ask what time do we need to be there. I personally asked him for help “probably weekly” to send out extra reminders to everyone. Other times he took it upon himself to get the word out to everyone whenever it was necessary. Even though his position was Asst. Running Waters Editor He took on the role of Editor a few months into the year always making sure the news letter was correct and on time. While always keeping in mind what was right for the organization.

WHAT I DID TODAY

Well I was going to go to weightwat*chers but because of my mouth situation, I didn't. I need to get back to my meetins and start getting back on track.

I did go to the dentist today(yeah me) and they could do a bridge for 1100.00 or they could do a root canal and a crown for 625. Of course, I went for the root canal.

They were an hour behind schedule and once I was in the chair, it began a long 4 hours of intense mouth work. After all the work I had done, they wanted to clean my teeth. I decided to have that done in 2 weeks when they put in the crown permanetly.

Let me say I will be going to work smilin this week all the way.....

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, youll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
Youll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile



Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

WHEN YOUR SMILIN

In my family, during the holidays we always play a game of how many days off do you. Usually my brother is the winner. Since Wednesday evening, I have a grand total of 4 (yeah me). Which means no work until Monday.

On New Year Eve's while drinking and having fun with my brother and sisters and their families, I broke off one of my front teeth on top with a pretzel(hate those from now on).

So, today I got to go to a dentist and hear the bad news that they can't fix it immediately, I'm not sure what is going to happen and I am very upset over this. I did make another appointment for tomorrow with another dentist for a second opinion.


When youre smilin....keep on smilin
The whole world smiles with you
And when youre laughin....keep on laughin
The sun comes shinin through

But when youre cryin.... you bring on the rain
So stop your frownin....be happy again
Cause when youre smilin....keep on smilin
The whole world smiles with you

(instrumental break)
Oh when youre smilin....keep on smilin
The whole world smiles with you
Ah when youre laughin....keep on laughin
The sun comes shinin through

Now when youre cryin.... you bring on the rain
So stop that sighin....be happy again
Cause when youre smilin....just keep on smilin
And the whole world gonna smile with

The great big world will smile with

The whole wide world will smile with you



Let me just say I will not be smiling or laughing for awhile......I want to take the next week off but probably won't.
