Hi All!!

We had a great time last night at dinner with the in-laws and everyone. Peter had soo much fun with his cousin Blake, who loves him. He ate lots of bread (thanks Blake ), some rice pilaf and some icecream (thanks Blake & Daddy, just what the kid needed...dairy. )

Today I am locking myself in my bedroom...and DH will entertain Peter...and I'm going through all the clothes. OK, I have to wash most of them first, but then I'm dumping most of them, because I don't wear them, they don't fit, or I don't like them. I came to this conclusion...when Peter wasn't eating well, I was still giving him a bottle of formula. The Dr. told me, well, why should he eat food, if he knows he's gonna get a bottle of formula? So I stopped the formula and he started eating better. It hit me last night (after a day of feeling extremely fat) that I need to get rid of all those clothes, because next season, then I won't have any...I'll have to lose weight so I can buy new smaller clothes!

That's the jist...Peter's crying...

Hi guys,

Not much going on here this morning. I think we are just going to hang out. The boy is too funny. He loves to turn his walker over and lay on the back trying to bite the axel rod. At least he's playing with his toys and letting me type!!

Lauren: The invitations are going out in the mail tomorrow. Yeah! I can hardly believe he is almost 1.

Hello to everyone!! I hope you are all having a great weekend.

Good Morning...
Yesterday, I lost my best friend of almost 18 years...My cat died yesterday..She was with me through everything and I am soo heartsick...Kaylee touched her little lifeless body and smiled and said "cat" as I told her how much I loved her..Only pet lovers know this heartache....

Hi All,

Vicki, I'm soo sorry. I know exactly how you feel. Hang in there.

I went to Trader Joe's yesterday and bought some protein powder. This AM I made a shake with it and added some frozen mixed berries and icecubes. I made it with milk, but it says you can make it with milk, water, or juice. I bought a bunch of different frozen fruits, so I may try it with OJ and frozen mango tomorrow. It wasn't bad. I brought a banana to eat too, if that doesn't keep me filled til lunch time.

I told DH yesterday I am done being fat!!

hello.

A quick busy weekend. And I'm getting ready to leave in the morning. Unfortunately, it's supposed to rain almost everyday when we are gone.
It is gorgeous weather here today, wish it would stay like that. DH actually mowed the lawn yesterday.

Karen - hooray your room is almost done!

Jackie - sorry to hear your mom is doing so poorly. I must have missed posts about her before.

Lauren - I know what you mean! Best wishes with the new attitude.

RR - sorry to hear about your cat.

Lauren--I am with u on the attitude!! This weekend, I started writing everything I ate and included the junk..I did all day yesterday with only 1 bite of pecan pie and a nibble on a brownie..TOday, I AM JUNK TASTING FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RR

Hi everyone.....................

Hope you all had a good weekend

RR: Sorry to hear about your cat.

Lauren: Good for you on cleaning out your closet. I just done that a couple of weeks ago and decided to get rid of all the things I could not wear at this time regardless. Believe it or not I could do it again. Sometimes I wonder where all the clothes come from.

Rabbit: My you are busy. This is the first time I have mentioned my mom to anyone on here. We are taking it one day at a time.

Hi Karen

Well FIL is here for dinner so need to run. See ya all later

We saw the Neurosurgeon yesterday with Ms Priss's head and it is still just 50.5 cm..Still off the chart but hasnt grown but 2 cm since 9 months soo he was pleased..Still thinks all is well, but wants to repeat the CT scan and get an Opthmalogy consult before he releases us..I am soo excited but not gonna celebrate yet!!

Diet wise--ate 5 bugles, and 2 cheese puffs...I have to say, much better now that I am writing every little bit down..It is amazing how much U "snack" and dont realize until U feel that tablet and pen in your pocket!!!

Jackie--Still keeping her in our prayers..

Rabbit-U make me tired!!!!

Well...this is my favorite time of the year with crawfish season and strawberry season!!! We had Etouffe and cut up berries last night!! It was delicious!!!
Everyone else....HELLO!!!
RR

RR, good for you writing everything down! That was one thing about WW that I liked, was that you had to journal it and write down the points...if it was too hard to figure out the points, why bother?! I have to start writing the stuff down. I didn't have time to make my smoothie this AM, but I did resist the DD donut holes in the office kitchen! That's a big accomplishment for me!

That's awesome news on Kaylee!! You can tell in her pics that things are evening out. When are they doing the next CT scan? Hope he gets to release her soon!

Hi Everyone!!

Hi guys,

Not much going on here. We went looking for nightstands for our room and an end table for downstairs last night. We came up with nada. I guess we will try Ikea next. We got our doors put back today so it looks more like a real room. Little guy has a hundred toys to play with down here but he's over there playing with two poles that DH bought last night. Kids!

RR: I'm so sorry about your kitty. I lost one last year. DH printed out a beautiful pic of her and we have it on the entertainment center right between a pic of us and one of my nephews. Good news about Kaylee!! I'm so happy that things are evening out. Does she like crawfish?

Lauren: Yeah for you on eating right. It's so hard sometimes.

Jack: Your mom is still in my prayers. Hope she is feeling some better.

Rabbit: You are one busy woman!!

Hello to everyone else. Hope everyone is having a great day.

Hi to all............... Where is everyone????????? You all must be busy today.

Not much going on here lately. Been busy as usual at work, and at home. Still waiting to get connected at home. Should be in a couple of weeks or so. Nothing more has changed with my mom, she is still the same. She goes to the dr tomorrow and they will check her kidneys again and maybe will know something different. I am still planning on leaving next Friday to go visit her for the weekend.

Hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Hi guys,

Hope everyone had a good day. We had a good day. Not much going on.

Jack: Hope your mom is feeling better.

Hi All,

Just popping in quick. Had my hair done last night. I like it, but it's not as drastic a change as I wanted, so I will probably go back next week and have him fix it a bit. Cut off a couple inches and had it highlighted.

Have a great day!

Hi everyone.................

Just a quick update on my mom. Her dr appt went okay. She has lost 12 lbs since last week. Blood still shows kidneys elevated, but dr thinks that might be because of being a little dehydrated, so he told her to start drinking more fluids, which has always been hard for her to do. I got to talk to her tonite on the phone and I have to say she sounded like her old self. I feel somewhat better after talking to her. I am still planning to go see her next weekend. I am looking forward to it, but dreading the long drive. I want to get me a new swim suit, mabye one of those tankini one's with the little shorts. That way I am not to exposed when were hanging out at the pool. LOL

I have lots to get done before I go. We hired another person at work this week that is going to help me in my dept. So maybe there is light at the end of my tunnel. I am very excited about the new person.

Lauren: It's always nice to get your hair done. I know what you mean about not being drastic because I have been there too. Although about a year or so ago I chopped all my hair off in a cute short style, and I love it. I will never go back to long hair. Actually the short hair is easier to do in the mornings.

Hope you all have a good Friday

Good Morning all!!! Jackie-great news about your mom!! I hope she continues to improve...U R right, dehydration will make all the kidney function tests go up...Hopefully, all will correct itself!!

We go for Kaylees CT of the brain at 10:30...No sedation!!! Wish me lots of luck that she will cooperate!!!!The worse is, that they will strap her down, and that is gonna hurt me...I go to work at 1pm and work until 9:30 soo DH will have the girls all evening..He will never make it!!! He cant multi-task soo multiple childcare is hard for him..We shall see!!!!
