OK--Good Morning!!!! I have sooo much OT this week I can go in for 5AM--WOO HOOO Got to sleep until 3:30!!!!

Ok--didn't even read yesterdays thread but promise to catch up over the weekend...Hope all is doing good!!

The baby went home yesterday but has some serious heart issues--the Cardiologist saw her and they are making a treatment plan and doing more studies--It seems like her little valves didnt develop completely and the vessel from the heart to the lungs is too small..She isnt bothered by anything at present but they have to watch her close...
RR

Good morning, too! But, does it count as morning if you haven't gone to bed yet from the night before? It's 3:15 am here, and I can't sleep. Arrgh!!

Hope everyone's day is peachy keen. Baked, with a dollop of non-fat yogurt and a sprinkle of granola on top.

Gah, must. get. some. sleep...

Kim

Mornin' All!

Kim, You're starting to sound like MO now with the food references!! Stop making me hungry!!!

RR, Oh man, I'm soo sorry. How serious is the problem...prognosis? I will be praying for her.

Big John, Dude, you're doing awesome! And I'm glad you're taking the abuse in good stride and letting it motivate you! You're strong!

Roo, Sorry you're having such a rough time. Hey, I know you said DW is thin, is she also disciplined? Maybe she can prepare some healthy meals to make sure that you've got something healthy in front of you when you get home, so you're not tempted to slide? Are you behaved during the day? Maybe make sure you bring a healthy snack for the ride home, if you're afraid you're going to cave? Like an apple or something? Any chance you can find a different job, one where you don't have as much stress? Is it the people you work with, or the job itself? Honestly, most IT people I know are pretty laid back!

Lisa, I didn't hear back from the interview I had the other day, which is kind of bumming me out, since I got such positive feedback from her. Hopefully today. I do have an interview Monday from 10-12 at a pharma that is temp through the end of the year. Don't really want it, but I'll take it if they want me and the RE position doesn't work out.

Have a great day all! I'll try and get back later!

mronging all...well i got up and went for a walk this morning. It felt great! It was only 30 min, but its better than nothing. The last two days i kept hitting the snooze. I think my mutt appreciated it. I'm also excited since DH is coming home for the weekend. We only have a few more weeks of him working in savannah...but i miss him.
Rr - i hope the baby does well
hey to everyone else...time to get moving for work...bye all

Morning all, I want to go back to bed. I got up at 5:48 and it took everything I had. I hope I'm busy today cause otherwise my head is going to him my desk.

Here is my burning question

I have not posted much this week but have you ever sat back and just read the posts? Including mine.............

What the heck is wrong with us all we all are the strongest of women and men and yet we all act depressed? It is amazing how others affect our lives in good and bad, and how we choose to deal with it. I don't want to be 70 and have only memories of being mad as ****.

Actually today I have no clue what the deal is but I just got caught up on everyone so I thought I would add in my 2 cents. Sorry if I offended any of you that was not my intentions, we just live in a depressed world i think.

Have a great weekend

good morning i think this is going to be a day for coffee. i was up all night with stuff on my mind. so now i have a question. like me my hubby could lose a few pounds but he is not into it at all. he really does not eat a lot during the day but when he comes home he does make up for it. so i was thinking i could talk to him about it but do not wont too make him feel bad i love him with everything he is a great man. or just step up and pack him his breakfast and lunch and then for dinner he can just eat what i am. see up till now i just cook for me and the kids around 5 he don't get home till 8pm and the kids will not wait till then. now he don't like some of the food i eat but i am sure i could find things to make. he does work hard during the day about 60 -70 hours a week. he is a construction plumber. so talk to him or just plan out his meals for him and not say anything.

Morning Everyone,
TGIF!! Hope everyone has a great day op!
RR hope you are able to enjoy your weekend with all the OT you got this week. I will keep your niece in my prayers. Hope everything works out for the best! What a cute little baby she is!
Kim, hope you were finally able to go to sleep. I know I had a hard time going to sleep last night too. But I did stick to getting up when my alarm went off this morning. Have too much to do today not to get up then.
Lauren, sorry to hear that you didn't hear from the realtor's office. I will keep my fingers crossed that you do soon or that the interview on Monday goes well for you. Hope you are able to find some time to relax over the weekend. You have had a busy week that is for sure! How is your mom doing since she has been home from the hospital?
GG glad you have one week finished at your new job and seem to enjoy it alot! Way to go on getting up early and getting your walks in the mornings. Hope you enjoy your weekend with your dh!
Big John, boy did you put a workout in yesterday. Keep up that work! Glad that the catcalls are motivating you. I for one would have to make some nasty comment back to them. Hope you are kept busy at work today so your head doesn't bang off your desk!
Shelia, you are so true about us living in a depressed world. I am going to try to look at the postive things more in live and not always focus on the negative things. Hope things are going better for you today.
Hi to everyone else. I need to go and get my workout in for the day. Then get showered and dressed so I can go pick up my paycheck before noon. If not, they will mail it to me and I won't get it until Monday or Tuesday. Need the money too bad to wait that long!
Have a great Friday!
Kerry

Adah, I would just starting packing healthy stuff for him. Do you normally pack his breakfast/lunch? If he says anything, you could blame it on the fresh fruit and veggies of the season! He may just appreciate it! If he doesn't normally take food with him, maybe he just can't be bothered to stop working and eat.

Sheila, Not offended. I think that no matter how strong we are, or weak we're feeling, we come here to vent or talk to each other about what's bothering us because it's not real life. I think we feel less like people are going to snap back at us, because they can't...except in writing. I dunno, maybe I'm just spouting... I think that's how I feel sometimes. But honestly, I have always made sure that everyone that comes on this forum knows that they can vent, complain, spout off about any problems they're having, because we are here to support each other. I understand that not everyone is always feeling soo supportive, but we try. I don't always feel like being supportive, or have time to think about someone's issue long enough for a long response. But I always have a for whoever needs it, even if I don't have the right words. I think we all go through different phases of depression, or times where we're feeling down. I think this has just been a particulary bad week for some of us.

Kerry, thanks for asking, she's doing better since she has the Percocet. She hasn't asked me for help getting up from anywhere since. She's still really nauseous though, everytime she moves she feels like throwing up. I think she said she has a drs. appt. Monday, so hopefully she's feeling better by then, of they can give her something to help. She did take a Prilosec last night, hoping that it helps.

Lauren i agree totally 110%

Good Morning. I am so glad it's Friday. Weigh in tomorrow, I am hoping for a biggie HA! We will see. Hope everyone has a great Friday!

Morning Gals (and Rooster, Ken & Big John;-),

RR ~ that baby looks the picture of health and then to hear that she has heart issues... I'll keep the little one in my prayers. Love all of the beautiful dark hair. Was this their first child? Sure is one heck of a big baby if so.

Kim ~ yep, you definitely have a bit of "MO" in you. Why couldn't you sleep? I hate it when that happens... seems like right when I finally fall into a deep sleep, it's time to get up and moving.

Lauren ~ you'll be in that house SOON!! You've had so much going on in your life lately, do you even have time to get excited?

GG ~ it's good having you back with us again. We missed you! So glad that you got up and got a walk in. I know what you mean about it feeling so good to get up and get moving. Good for you!! Bet that you're hubby is missing you a ton too ~ enjoy each other this weekend.

Big John ~ you really are AMAZING!!! It's great that you're exercising ~ especially in this heat ~ just think how much more enjoyable your workout will be in the fall. And, you'll be in better shape by then and can enjoy it even more.

Sheila ~ LOL at your post. I'm thinking, "man, she's pissed... sure do hope that she's not "packing heat" at the moment or we're all in trouble." Lauren wrote exactly what I was thinking... I write things here that I don't share with other people. It's comforting to know that I can express myself without being judged. My friends and family are wonderful but if I tell one of my sisters something, it's just a matter of time before she carries it off to another sisters. Don't have to worry about that here. How are things with DH?

Adah ~ I think that I'd have more healthy food available for DH's lunch and dinner before having a talk with him. I do that with my family and everyone seems more open to trying things if they're sitting out in the open and that is all that is available. Words go in one ear and out the other but if a person is hungry, they'll eat practically anything:-). Good luck! By the way, I love your name!

Kerry ~ happy billing paying ~ NOT! Oh well, all part of life. Good to hear that you're so committed to working out these days. Keep up the good work.

Michelle ~ just wanted to let you know that I loved the pictures. That one of Jess and the baby is too cute! What a little sweetheart... I loved that age as they start to develop a personality and smile a lot. Makes me want to go play with a baby. Note: I said "play" with a baby and not "have" one. Hah! My niece is pregnant right now and my whole family is so excited about having another baby in the family.

I gotta get moving. I have so much to do today and already have a very late start ... going to go to the grocery store and buy a bunch of stuff to take up to my folks and fix dinner for them. My mom loves it when I do that and unfortunately, it's not often enough. Another bonus to our recent move is that I'm a little closer to my folks house. The drive is exactly one hour so this fall I plan on going up and spending the day with them at least once a month. I feel guilty that I put them on the back burner now that I have a family of my own. So, enough of my ramblings ... Happy Friday all ~ Joan

Kerri ~ forgot to mention you earlier... how long have you and DH been together? Do you think that DH will ever be able to sell the house in AZ? Is that his home state and does he not want to leave? I'm sorry that you're feeling so sad and alone. Big Hug ~ Joan

Ya I was having a moment and I am pissed. Just for the record anytime I go out of town I pack heat!!

I don't know it was just a moment I was having, I do the same here but I guess I was meaning we all have problems it is just funny how life is. I am so glad I have all of you I totally agree with you Joan.

DH well he was offered a job with his company that will take him all over the world. We have 5 months to think about it. I flat told him I will support you and so will the kids I don't mind using this house for daycare but we need to move to another home, I just can't stand living two doors away from his mom anymore. She is playing kiss *** right now and I am not giving her the satisfaction I keep the conversation simple and don't get into anything heavy. I already decided if she starts I will tell her it is something I am not interested in talking about.
