Morning Ladies!

I am not sure if I am gonna make it to the gym or not
Andrew started yesterday with a runny clear nose but he is barking coughing so bad
I was really looking forward to the class today so I guess I'll see if mil can watch him.

Anyhow, How is everyone doing today?
Are we all on plan???

I see that Spryng snuck in a post on the Momsboard! HEY SPRYNG I miss ya!!!
Glad to hear you are maintaining your weight! That is awesome and an inspiration to us!

Well gotta go get dressed and out the door to bring Hunter to school!

TTYL!

Good Thursday Morning ladies. Roxy, I didn't forget to add you but Penny beat me to it this morning. I'm gonna post your sentence here so that whoever starts the new thread tomorrow can add it.

1hot_tomato-Roxy, married (21yrs) 4 boys, and 6 girls, have to get serious after
that last baby. Doing the low-carb thing, drinking lots of water and more exercise.

Okay, whoever starts the thread tomorrow, Roxy wants to be added in the top so there is her line for addition. Thanks

Penny, Spryng emailed me yesterday to check in on my pregnancy and said she hopes to make it over here soon. She said she doesn't really feel like she fits since she's not trying to lose weight anymore. So lets all drop a note in case she comes by, that WE need her to post because she is an inspiration to all of us. Sorry about the cough and runny nose, hope it's nothing.

Well, today I have to run to the bank but otherwise plan on being home all day. Gotta school and finish up a couple loads of laundry. I'm trying to get it caught up and keep it caught up in case I were to go into labor, it wouldn't be too bad when I get home from the hospital.
Well, Allison's bag is packed and sitting in the carrier. My bag is the only not. But I don't have nursing pj's or bras or clothes to wear home. I've gotten some from ebay and am hoping to get it them soon.

Hello to all you other desperate housewives; Mel, Michelle, Roxy, Deana, Chris, Stephanie, Angel, Jeniqua, Sherry, Geri, Ricci, Julie, Amy...I hope I'm not missing anyone. TTYL

Morning Penny! You are up early this am to have started the thread...ttyl

[1hot_tomato]

Yeah Mel!




I'm sooo proud! I almost started crying when I saw that! WTG!!! You must have been so happy! Oh you deserve it girl!

Crystal-thanks for the thread starter post! I'm not worried I'll get in there, sooner or later Too bad that Spryng doesn't feel like she fits! I thought she was such an inspiration to everyone too. She's also posted in the maintainers forum, so we can cheer her on there. I'm glad that you are getting all your ducks in a row for the hospital...won't be long now!

Penny- I hope that Andrew feels better! The flu is rearing it's ugly head around our school, I hope that it passes on by. We've been very lucky this year so far. I hope you make it to the gym!

Morning to all you other moms, I'm having a cup of chai (that stuff is addicitive!) and getting rready for my day.

WAY TO GO MEL!!!! Good morning everyone. Woke up this morning and it was in the 30's here. I know, alot of you are going big deal, but after 3 days in the 60's, it is. My car doors were frozen shut again, but I didn't hurt myself this time.
Jill, I am so glad to see Bayley is doing better. I am sure it just breaks your heart to see them in the hospital. I haven't had that happen yet. (knock on wood). Deana, come on down here and I will do your hair. quick school update. I have absoulutely hated wrapping perms. It sucks, it takes too long,and the old women complain. The other night, I wrapped a whole perm by myself in under an hour. Now, I don't mind doing them. It just took me awhile to catch on. Some of the girls still complain about everything, like we're too busy, they didn't want to do that color on that woman, etc etc. But oh well. It's still going good for me. Now I just have to learn how to do foils, and I will be doing good. I have learned how to do a couple of new haircuts lately, so I am getting there.
Geri, You will lose your weight again. I know you will. Michelle, you seem to be doing good. Chris you are doing awesome. Crystal, I know you are wanting Allison out soon, and it sounds like she will be. Spryng, you better keep posting here. You are the one that keeps alot of us motivated. It would be great to see you posting again. Hi to everyon I missed. Have a great day.

[mompen]

Be back in a sec to post but I wanted to tell Jeniqua that you used the wrong code...

You have to use the second one not the first one.... If you need help let me know

[stephi1396]

Hi everyone!
Congrats Mel!! I know you must feel amazing!
I woke up to a thunderstorm this morning and kept Tim home from school, now I am rethinking that! He and Jack are fighting like cats and dogs and it's raining and they can't get outside. Oh well. Made it to the gym for a little bit. Not as long as I might have liked, but the little bit of the class I took kicked my butt!!
Jeniqua-Penny can help you do all kinds of stuff with your sig. She is a genious when it comes to this stuff! She had to help me b/c I didn't have a clue either!
I hope everyone else has a great and productive day!!
TTYL

Hi ladies!

Michelle- yes, it's cold today actual temp. -21 degrees. With winds making it -37 through -40 below. Yup! We're in weather alert. Tomorrow night it's supposed to be -63 below. Of course they will close school then and the winter pageant will be called off. If they don't, I think all my kids will call in sick! No way I'm taking a baby out in this! I do have to this afternoon to pick them up, but I have extra food and topped off the gas tank for the weekend yesterday. Hope you get a nap in!

Steph- Don't worry about not having a clue about the computer, Michelle and my son have to help me too. I didn't grow up with one so, that officially puts me in the "older" catagory! Sad but true! Have a great time at the gym!

Ricci- people always find something to complain about! I think it's not the easiest thing to wrap a perm, it seems to take forever! I've only ever had two in my whole life and that's enough for me. Unless I get really old...maybe I'll have to get the poodle perm when I'm in my 70's. Hope not!

Hi Jeniqua- I loved your post the other day, about the names your parents gave you! They must have a great sense of humor! Do you have nicknames? It must have been confusing for you when you were growing up. BTW from the msn site... beautiful babies! I just want to squeeze their cheeks! Adorable! Hope you get your ticker fixed.

Where is everyone else today? Kinda quiet. That's okay, that means you're all busy doing something that burns calories! I'm folding a poopload of whites now,my my do those girls have sock and undies. I like darks a whole lot more. I wonder sometimes if LAUNDRY will be the death of me. Well, at least if I'm folding I can't eat. Especially chocolate and whites, they don't go good together. TTYL
