Wow, I have been SO busy. Im sorry I have not come on to even say hi! Things have been going well, I've been staying on track with my eating and exercising. Im just stressed a bit because of finances.

Im trying to find a part time job, 15 hours a week would be perfect.

Anyway, good morning to all and I hope you have a great day.

Oh, if you want to see some SCARY stretch marks click on the link to my blog. I posted a picture of my old summer clothes from last season that are too big.

Well I'm up and moving, I slept in til 8, let the big kids get themselves off to school and the little tornado spent the night at Gmas so she took him to school. I didn't get in bed til L-A-T-E then got woke up about 5 or 6 times during the night. I feel like it should be Thursday, I absolutely hate feeling tired all the time. My plans for today are to ride my bike, get some weights in, laundry, and watching a movie with Lil Sis. I should go outside and do some work but I'm exhausted just thinking about it. So, unless my DH puts me on a guilt trip when he gets up, I'm staying in.

GG, glad the chiro is being thorough, a good one is hard to find, thanks for the well wishes.

mom, have you thought about substituting at school? I don't know how they do it where you live, but its a thought, you can be at school when your kids are, makes things a little easier.

Well I'm off to watch "The Prince of Egypt", see ya later. Trish

Good morning chickies. When it rains it pours at my house! Friday night we had a huge storm. When we went to bed I stepped in a huge puddle of water. Our window was leaking. Ugh. So, not only do we have to get the window fixed, but we have to figure out how to fix the walls. There's about 85 coats of paint over wallpaper. The wallpaper is peeling off the wall around the window. So not pretty. We had the handyman out yesterday to look at the window and I notice, hmmm, that window sure is dirty. This AM I go in and start cleaning. One window goes fine. I broke the mini blinds on the other one. Great. Then I can't get the window all the way out to clean, so I clean what I can reach. It looks awful half clean. It looks like I may have a new room soon! Well, at least newly painted walls and new mini blinds! (And one half dirty window!)

Have a great day chicas!

Trish ~ how'd the doctor appointment go?

Mom ~ Good for you for staying OP. Hope you find a job shortly.

Karen ~ cleaning windows... yep, mine are looking grubby too so that is on my list of things to do this month.

Time to go run some errands. Hope that all of you with sick little ones are doing better this week (the kids and the mamas.
Later Chicksters ~ Joan

Haven't done much today, workout wise, I did take a 25 min walk (or drag, however you want to phrase it) with the dogs. I'm preparing to do my weights in about 30 min, and tonight I'll ride my bike while I watch TBL. Thats my plan, but who knows what the kids have planned.

Karen, I know how you feel, if ain't one thing its another and the money always seems to be going out more than its coming in. I need to do windows too, maybe I'll have another surprise housecleaning party this weekend and we'll do windows and gutters. Of course, if its not raining.

Joan, they're doing a blood workup and I have to go have a thyroid ultrasound done. She thinks it might be my thyroid, she said its definitely enlarged but we'll do the tests to be sure. I should have results in a week or so after I have the ultrasound done later this week.

Hope everyone else has more energy than I do right now, I feel like going to bed. Have a great evening, I'll check in tomorrow. Trish

Good afternoon everyone! Looks like everyone has been as busy as I have been lately! We really enjoyed our camping trip this past weekend. I spent the entire day yesterday doing laundry and putting everything up and cleaning. Some how I hurt my ankle camping so I haven't been able to get any time in on the treadmill. I am going to try tomorrow tho.
Mom, what a big difference since last summer!!! Keep up the good work! Having the twins took a toll on my body too, so you aren't alone!!
Gotta get dinner started. Hope everyone is well!
Take care,
Stephanie

evening all..work was busy today. Nothing really exciting. but i've been good on eating. That soup i made has lasted me a few meals so its helped me during this cold weather.

karen- make sure you check out your walls that the rain hasn't seeped thr the dry wall..ie check for mold. hopefully it will get better.

hope everyone else is well. Im exhausted. I was suppose to go to the gym tonight but don't have the energy. I will plan to go to bed early and go to the gym before work.

night all.!

The weather was gorgeous here today. High 60's and tomorrow will be in the 70's. I just got back from a good long walk. Man, I needed to get out in the fresh air. I love doing my bike but weather like this is too good to pass up. DH brought home some of the new BudLite with Lime tonight. Anheuser Busch is releasing it next week and I didn't think that I'd like it. Wrong! He didn't like it but I sure did. Had to stop at one since I knew that if I had a second one, there'd be no exercise this evening LOL. Talk to everyone tomorrow ~ Joan

Hi guys! Well, cleaning my windows lead to a cleaning spree. My nose is about to itch off from all of the dust. I'm allergic to dust which is why I put it off for so long. I guess I'm going to have to quit doing that! I made a promise to myself to stay on top of it. We'll see how it goes.

GG: We are going to pull the rest of the wall paper down from that section so we can check for mold and see how much damage is under there. The handyman came back today and found a hole at the top of the window. He caulked it and said if that doesn't fix it he's not sure what it is 'cause everything else looked fine.

I got my hair all cut off and highlighted tonight! It feels so light and swingy right now. I will have to get DH to take a pic so I can post it.

OK, off to make DS's bed. He's sleeping in mine 'cause his sheets weren't dry. Have a great evening!
