Good Morning all of you lovely Ladies!

I am gonna post early, get a bunch of things done today, then have a game day with the girls! Probably "sorry!"! They love sending me back! Listen I'm not trying to tell you a tale or anything but I just had to share this with you. I am keeping my measurements so I have a good record of my losses to compare with on a monthly basis. Now I didn't really lose a whole lot in waist and hips. I measures my thigh and lost 1 1/2 in. in one thigh! Well, the other one too! Since last month! I am so excited! I wanted to cry, really, I couldn't believe it! Maybe this is like starting off on a diet very heavy and losing alot fast, but for me, who just was growing bigger, the decrease was so motivating! The burning and pain was worth it! I have to do my cardio today but that's it and take a walk. So I'm off easy today yesterday I punished my self with the Chico!


Jen- I don't know what to say , I can't believe how horrible of a time it is for you. Don't wait, hon, go to get some temp. help! Please, don't let them take your stuff. Oh I'm praying for you!!!! You forgot to tell the girls that you also have another bad tooth! On the otherside this time. Not thinking of yourself now are you?

I'll be back later, inbetween stuff....

I'm having a great day with my daughter today. We spent last night unpacking boxes and getting things together to donate to charity. Sadly enough, over a year and a half after moving into this house, we still have boxes that aren't unpacked. I'm really motivated to get rid of as much stuff as possible right now because we are trying to make room in our finished basement for a furnace. When we chose this house, we promised Sage she could use it as a play room, but unfortunately, it's too cold in the winter. We've also moved our computers down here so it's pretty miserable to spend any length of time down here actually using them.

Jen- I'm so sorry you are going through all of that. While I was going through a divorce, I had a really similar situation (in danger of losing my house and a soon to be ex who stopped paying any portion of the bills so I was left with everything). Don't be afraid to ask the people who love you for help when you need it. It was very hard for me to accept money from anyone, but I had to put what was best for my daughter ahead of my pride. There are a lot of consumer credit agencies, but most places are more than willing to work with you if you call to make payment arrangements directly. Anyway, if you need some advice from someone who has been there, you are more than welcome to send me an email or a pm.

Hi all...
I've been up since 6, but finally am getting around to posting. Tiana had her game this morning so had to get all of them out of bed early and drag them with me.

Jeniqua-I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time too. I've been there and its not a great place to be. I wish I had tons of money to send you. I'm just sorry its going so rough for you. We took out a home equity loan to pay off all our medical and credit cards...now we get to pay the loan off. I'm happy that you're getting some money back from the good ol IRS. That'll help some. Keep your chin up, the bad times only last for a while. There is a bit of sunshine coming.

Roxy-Are your girls driving you nuts today? Mine our still on their continual path to fighting. I'm mastering the art of tuning it all out but I just wish I knew what to do about it. I could discipline til the cows come home and they just don't care.

MichelleJ-Hey lady? Unpacking? We've been in our house for 2 yrs now and I still have stuff to unpack too. I'm scared to take and open any boxes...too much cluttery stuff.

Slow day on here huh? I suppose to be NICE to the hubby, I'll get out the screwdriver and assemble the cabinets for my sewing room. It's so nice out that later I just may take the little people to the park or go for a walk or something to run off this energy they've had stored up for so long...

I have a wonder question for everyone.

How tall are you?

I myself am 5 ft. 8 inches.

Just bored I guess and looking at everybody's tickers wondering if my goal weight is acceptable for my height.

I'm in PA too, and I skipped driving to Ohio to see my family this weekend since the weather was supposed to be so bad. Now it's sunny and the snow is melting, and I'm at home another weekend.

By the way, I'm about 5'5" (or maybe it's 5'6", I always forget since I used to mistakenly believe I was 5'7" )

Am I the Jolly Green Giant or what? Hope ya all are having a good day. Me and my 3 dd's went to some thrift stores and messed around all afternoon, but I got 5 pairs of jeans for Tiana and only had to spend $7.00. Can't beat that. Of course, I can never find anything for myself. No one carries things my size, esp. for these long legs of mine.

Well off to have dinner at my MIL's. Should be fun with the overtired cranky children. All of them were up since 6:30 this a.m. Early morning. Hopefully they sleep in tomorrow morning.

I've tried two different space heaters down here. My basement is huge and has glass doors leading to the outside as well as another door that the people before us put a dog door in. The last space heater we used started smoking

On my happy note, I lost another .5 today. Yippee! Now I'm just trying to nag my hubby into spending some time with us this weekend instead of working all weekend again
