Shelley.....I'm so happy to hear that the celebration went well! Looking forward to you posting some pics!! Get some much needed rest now!

Well I hobbled over to the computer to say hello. First goal is to post everyday, so here I am. LOL

I can't wait to be able to start on a walking program once this cast comes off my leg. I am sooooo tired of just sitting around with my leg propped up.

Jennelle -- Great for you... down 9 pounds. You keep it up girl.

Between parties, football games and vacations, it sounds like everyone has been very busy.

I will check back with you ladies tomorrow. Thanks for welcoming me back with open arms.

Hugs
Carol

Way to go Titans &&&& Tampa Bay..

Question maybe someone can answer or try to:

Why when there is a incident that effects so many peoples lives, you see the worst in someone that you never thought you would see come out of them???

That's it for today--short & sweet

Oh, Vicki, I know EXACTLY what you mean! My DH's parents died back in 1988, within a month of each other. There was so much awful stuff going on between the sibs....hubby hasn't spoken to one of his brothers since then! :cry:

Shelley - I'm beginning Week 3.

Vicki-Me too!! Ever since my BIL died over a year ago, my MIL has gotten worse and worse. She has become the biggest B**** in history!!!

Vicki.....
I wish I had the answer to your question.It sure makes you wonder though, doesn't it?! Remember, I haven't spoken to my Sister in about 8 years! I don't even know where she lives!!

To My Floozie Friends: Now I have a question! Here goes:

I hate to keep saying how tired I am because I KNOW that ya'll get sick of hearing it. But honestly, I am. Today something happened that really scared me. I was driving downtown to pay my electric bill and I dozed off for a second! When I opened my eyes I was starting to go over the white line into the other lane!! Like I said, It was ONLY for a sec. or two..but enough to scare the s*** out of me! Then when I was at the store, it felt like my whole body was shaking & like I was going to pass out!! I have never felt like this before! It didn't last long.

As I was growing up, I had the world's best Parents.But Mom was a perfectionst (but so sweet!).We never played in our room
because we were afraid that we would mess them up and she would get mad.Now I feel like I have become MY MOM! While my boys were growing up, I never had them to help me around the house.I was like this super-mom that had to work,cook,clean & wash without anyone helping me.I was always afraid that it wouldn't be done correctly if they helped.So therefore I never taught them or made them to help.

Now 20 years later, I'm STILL doing it all! Working Mon-Fri.....Also working ballgames ......Cooking.....Cleaning.......Washing....And doing all the running around.My body is tired! Some days I honestly don't know how much more I can keep going. My hubby is great but after 17 years of marriage how can I all of a sudden get mad at him for not helping when Ive always done it all?!

My question is: Is there partnership in your household? How can I stop trying to do so much and learn to relax? How do ya'll do it? I need answers fast before I really lose it. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day and I won't feel as "down on myself" as I do tonight.

I've got to go and bake Drew's B/Day cake, pat out burgers and make baked beans for tomorrow night. (See...it NEVER stops!)

Love ya'll....

Evening girls:cb:

I started to vote...None....I'd rather do it myself...yeah right!! LOL :lol: I like to do housework but when I don't have enough time or energy, that is always what I let go.

Sherry...The Jets lost, so yesterday was our last home game.:( I think it's so sad at the end of the season. Sher....Let's go to Oakland next weekend, and then to San Deigo the next weekend. It would be nice to be rich!!!

Shelley...I'm so glad everything went well yesterday. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Jennelle....WTG on the 9 pounds, and in just 3 weeks. You go girl!!! :cp:

Carol.....I agree with you , posting everyday is a start. Hope you are up and running around soon. But until you are, we can all help each other to stay OP. :D

Vicki....I have seen that happen in several families and it's so sad. Death and sickness sometimes brings out the worse in people. Your family is still in our prayers.

Dee.....I know you are having a blast and I'm so jealous...LOL. 80 degrees...WOW...don't get to much sun!!!

Gayle......How many bottles of beer did you help hubby bottle up? Have you started on the White Zin yet? Now that things will slow down for me, I'm thinking of buying a wine kit too. Which kind should I start with?

Doni and Ramona...Hope you had a great weekend and are both well.

Love ya...debbie :dancer:

Sherry - The first thing you need to do is sit down with your hubby RIGHT NOW and tell him how exhausted you are! It doesn't have to be confrontational, just matter-of-fact. The reason he's not helping is because he doesn't realize you need the help, and he's never going to realize it if you don't tell him!

Another thing you need to look at is that need for perfection that we women tend to have. Is the world going to end if you don't mop the floor tonight? Are the Better Homes and Garderns cops going to arrest you if the beds don't have perfect corners? Is God going to strike you down if you have a "fend for yourself night" once a week instead of having to cook dinner all the time? Let go of some of the perfection (easier said than done, I know.) I'll bet you a million dollars if your hubby had the choice of having an immaculate house or a wife in good health who doesn't drift off to sleep at inopportune moments, he would choose *YOU* every time!

You also need to schedule some "vege time" to do what YOU like. Take a half-hour every day to read a book, watch something stupid on TV, croos-stitch a sampler, or just stare out the window and watch the world go by.

I will be thinking of you! {{{{{hugs}}}}} TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!

Sher: I second what Jennelle just said!!! Men have this weird way of being able to walk right on past the heap of clothes and the two inches of dust on the furniture. For a long time I would never ask Steve for help...then I would "fume" inside as I folded clothes, did dishes and so on. Finally one day he said "men are stupid" if you want us to do something, just tell us what it is. He now helps out around the house. He folds the towels other then how I would prefer, but guess what????? We live through it!!! Just tell Wayne you need a break, he will understand!!!! That is why I'm taking the one day painting workshop next month, Steve harped and harped at me to do something for myself. BTW: I too have spoiled my kids! My 18 year old can walk near an exploding sink of dishes, filthy floors and never notice!

Vickster: I have 1 brother and 2 sisters that I no longer have contact with. Personally, I believe that we see more of the "bad" come out in the person due to them trying to react to their own guilt for something in the past.

Deb: We bottled 48 bottles of brew on Saturday. I mixed up 6 gallons of white zin today. I use the Vintners reserve kits, if you want the site address of the place I order from, just holler!!

Carol: Glad to "hopped" to the puter to post!!!!!

Doni~~~~~STEP AWAY FROM THE BROWNIES!!!!!!! ;)
My goodness, the only thing stirring in my home at 3:00 in the morning is the restless children in bed. Sounds like you guys are late nighters, but I'm sure that has something to do with your hubby's schedule.

HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A SUPER DUPER DAY!!!!!!!!!! :smug:

Hi girls:cb:

Sherry.......I agree with everyone esle, if you do everything for them they will just expect it and never help with anything. Fix sandwiches for a week. On hard weeks let some of that dusting and extra cleaning go, do just the main things. I promise the dust will still be there next time. Start training Drew now, his future wife will thank you. The only one we can change is ourselves, so dwell alittle more on Sherry and see how much happier you are even if the dust is 2 inches thick. Love ya!!:love:

My legs are so sore from the game Saturday, it was rough getting through my workout at Curves this afternoon. But I made it!!!! :cp:

Love to all my floozie Freinds...:dancer: Deb :dancer:

Is anybody going to celebrate the 40th birthday with our cyberfriend?? I think we should have a cyber birthday party!! What do you think??

Sherry-You are scaring me!! You should go to the dr. just to make sure everything is okay!!

Quick one tonight--running late today.

Hello Friends :wave:

Thanks so much for all of your kinds words.You don't know what it meant to me.I'm really going to try hard not to worry so much about cleaning & try to spend more time relaxing. Thanks again...Ya'll are the greatest!

I'm going to bed now.Just wanted to tell you that Drews surprise Birthday dinner party went well.We all had a great time tonight.Man....I sure remember 15 years ago tonight!! In labor FOREVER!! :lol:

Also....thought I would share DEE'S weather forecast with ya'll. Gosh....she's soooooo lucky!! But I'm glad she's having a GREAT time!! WE MISS YOU DEE!!!

I'm with you Shelley!!! Since we can't be there, we can still help our "little Senorita" celebrate that GIGANTIC 40!!!!! (I can do this, I'm not there yet)

I'm bringing the balloons and the strippers.....let me know what type of guys you want....sexy?? smart? handsome?? intelligent and average???? or stupid and hot???

I will load up one for each of us!!!!!!

Hi all.......lurking and reading.......just too "blue" to chat right now.
Talk to you in a few days......

Ramona

Gayle-I'd say 1 or 2 of each!!:devil:

I'll bring the booze. What would you like to order?? Some vodka, gin, tequilla??

Well I'm new here. I've been scanning the posts. And I decided to take the opening post about joining seriously.

First things first, Sherry I hope you take the advice that you talk to your hubby. Also, does your family have a history of Low Blood Sugar? The symptoms you describe do sound like low blood sugar, how about talking to your MD?

O.K. off my EMT soapbox:soap: and a little about me so you know what a nosey chick I am. I'm 34, married for almsot 16 years (yep if you did your math correctly I married at 18) I've got 2 girls 12 going on 25 (if she lives to see 13) and 5 1/2. I coach the cheerleader squad at school and am an Emergency Medical Technician on an Indian Reservation in North Eastern Wisconsin. I enjoy reading and am reading as much as possible as I go back to school to become an IV-Tech. I just restarted WW AGAIN :rolleyes: I've lost and gained back the same 50 lbs. I am determined to do this and be successful because being overweight and out of shape is not a good thing in my profession.

I guess I'm just looking for that added support that I've seen here.

Lisa

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME LISA!!!!!!! Okay...if your joining in, we are planning a cyber party for one the the missing chicks 40th birthday!!!! You gotta pick the type of guy you want me to load up for you and Shelley is taking drink orders!!! :lol:

Seriousy, we are a GREAT group of middle aged Moms who love to get together and offer encouragement. I am 39, soon to be 40. I have an 18 year old and a 4 year old, which just in itself can make an interesting home!!! My oldest daughter will love it when I tell her an EMT joined our group!!!! She is a Senior in high school, rides out in her spare time with the EMT's and is attending collage classes two nights a week to certify as an EMT.

Ramona: I knew that you must be down....try to perk up sweetie...I really do not know what to say other then we care about you & miss you!!!!!!!11

BTW Lisa: If you need anything at all, just check in with me....I'm the only sane one on this forum!!!!!!!!!! Pssst.....watch out for that girl names Sherry.................:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Welcome Lisa!!! NO, NO!! I am the only sane one in the group!! But then again, I am much older and wiser than most of them>:dizzy:

Now wait one minute girls....You know who the one that is sane and that is me....heheehehehe

Sherry get the leg checked.
Gayle I want a big pitcher of Bloody Mary's just for me...

For real on the serious side....You know how devastated i have been since my brother's death two weeks ago. Guess what this lovely man did for his sister's ...Come on guess. I cried when i heard and shocked that he thought that highly of us.

Any takers>>>>>waitinggggggggggggg

well maybe i will let you in on the next post.

Prayers do get answered in mysterious ways.

Later gals

WELCOME LISA!!!!!!! :wave:

It's so nice to have you!! I think that you'll find this wild group of crazy woman a lot of fun! :lol: Seriously....We are all here for the same reasons: To lose weight, have motivation & support.. BUT to also live, love & laugh along the way.We are so happy to have a new friend! :) Please jump right in!!

I DID have a long talk with hubby about my moods, my cleaning freakness and about HELP! He said that he would help me more only if I didn't cut him down for not doing "my way!" He's right, If I B**** about not getting help, then how can I B**** if it isn't done correct!! Right?! We'll see how it goes! Thanks!

Also, About 8 years ago, my "old" Dr. did say that I had low blood sugar.Since I have been going to the Dr. that I am now (for 8 years) she has never mentioned it ....or neither have I. I will make an appointment to be tested and etc.

I think you have a very interesting & BUSY occupation. My applause goes out to you & all the EMT's for all your hard work!

Looking forward to your motivation and support! May we ALL reach our goals! :grouphug:

Again.............

Vicki^^^^^^
We were posting at the same time! I think prayers DO get answered in the most mysterious ways too.My guess would be that your Bother left an insurance policy in ya'lls name??!! Whatever it is.....I'm so glad that you're happy & it does sound like a blessing.Please tell us soon!!!!!!!!

Gayle & Shelley^^^^^^ How about if I bring "Hot Damn" to the b/day cyber party!! Maybe that's what I need!! LOL!! Thanks you TWO for always making me smile or laugh when I'm feeling down!! :grouphug:

Debbie^^^^^Are your legs feeling better today? Mine are still hurting!! I did go ahead and worked out though.They will hurt wheather I went or not!! Hey....What are you bringing to the CYBER PARTY?? Hmmm.....Let me guess.....CAPTAIN!! Right???!!!

Jennelle^^^^^^Thanks again for taking the time to post a long letter to me.It meant so much to me. I will get over this and hopefully Wayne WILL start helping me.I will not worry anymore if things don't get done when I want them done.It won't happen over night and I will take one day at a time.Thanks again sweetie.

Ramona^^^^^ Are you ok? I'm so worried about you.Why are you blue? I'm sorry hon. Come on down to Nashville and we'll have a good "cry-out" together! Do you ever feel like if you starting crying...you won't ever stop? Please take care & post again soon.I care. :angel:

Doni^^^^^Did you have an OP day? I'm like Gayle....STAY AWAY from those brownies!! :nono: Come post here instead and keep your mind off them!! I'm like you....I could stay up all night! I'm such a night owl! LOL!!

Dee^^^^^^ I sure miss you!! Hope to see a post from you soon!! I wish I was rich so I could come to Canada for your Beach Birthday Party!! Sounds fun!!

Carol^^^^^ You didn't "hop" over to the puter and post today!!! Hope you are feeling better! Are you still OP???? Remember.....we CAN & WILL do this!!! :D

Lisa^^^^^Again....Welcome!! I bet you think that NO ONE is sane here!! LOL!!!

I wanted to share some good, exciting news with ya'll: Drew's School bowling team won this afternoon and are going to FINALS Thursday!! If they win....They will go to STATE next week!! :cp:

I will end this LONG post on a funny joke!!

What did one saggy boob say to the other?

Hugs,
Sherry (Sher-Bear)

Evening girls:cb:

Welcome Lisa!! To tell the truth...done of us is sane!! Not even me! What fun would that be?? But we are a bunch of wild and crazy gals just trying to find our ways to a healthier way of life. And there is never a boring moment, with these girls!

Sherry.....I know you are so proud of Drew!! Tell him WTG for me and a Belated Happy Birthday. :gift: WTG on your workout today. Hey...don't you hope it comes a BIG snow this week??

Vicki.....Whatever it is I'm sure you will be blessed because your brother loved you. :love:

Gayle......Let's see what can I bring to the party, already sounds great with the strippers and all...LOL. Guess I could rent us a Hot Tub!!! Man that sounds good!!!

Carol....Hope you are alright. It is less than 4 weeks now and you will have that darn cast off. I know you are ready for things to get back normal.

Love to all my Floozie Friends....and again WELCOME LISA!!!

:dancer: Deb :dancer:

Ok just a quickie and then I have to go and fold laundry (BLECH) My boss called today and asked if I'd work half of his shift for him tomorrow........ and of course I said yes but we do have a computer there and we're online so I can check in if I get a chance.

Thanks all for the great welcome!!!! You all seem like you're great! I need more insane people in my life or else it gets boring. Bet you can tell my life isn't at all boring. LOL

As for the cyber "party" I'll take Dr. Milgilacuddy's Peppermint Schnapp's!! not only is it good but it leaves your breat MINTY FRESH! That way when you're drunk and breathing all over people while you say "I love you MAN!" you don't offend with bad breath! (I know, really bad joke!)P.S. who's birthday is it going to be?

Ok off to fold laundry............ why do they expect clean clothes and meals at my house? Who taught them such things?!

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Go To #81...............A New Thread Has Been Started!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dancer:
