Morning all. I feel half-dead. We were up most of the night with my littlest one. She went to bed with a runny nose and woke up in the middle of the night coughing and wheezing. Not a very restful night for anyone. I gave her a breathing treatment around 8 this morning and the medicine kind of makes her sick so of course..we having vomiting now. She's not old enough to be tested for asthma but I'm almost 100% sure that's the problem. She's done this quite a few times in the last year.
So I don't want to disappoint everyone but I doubt I'll get much done today. My eating should be great though, since she wants to be held constantly. Keeps me out of the fridge... I might get a walk in tonight when I take Kayla to her swimming lessons. I walk around the track while her lesson is going. DH can stay home and hold the little sick one then. She keeps asking where daddy is. Poor honey is used to him being home and he went to work today...FINALLY! He's been down with strep and mono. That was actually scary. He was at work on Friday and he got confused and disoriented and couldn't remember how to get home or how to run his computer. He was scared and so was I. I took him to the ER and he was dehydrated. The doctor said that when you get dehydrated, you're body tries to maintain vital functions and memory isn't one of those functions. So it's nice to see him back working and doing things, even if he is still really tired.
Edith-I will have to check out the goal thread too. Thanks for letting me know about it.
Okay back to holding my little sickie babe. I'll check back when she's resting.
Chris, I am at a private college, getting a duel BS (boy ain't that the truth) in Business Management and Marketing. I should be done and graduated by May 20th 2006.
Lisa, I went to a private college for an Associates degree in Business Management and only had 1 credit to graduate. I had to take some time off while I was pregnant with Nicole because I was morning sick..morning, noon, and night. The school closed while I was out for a semester. I never got to finish mine. Glad you're getting yours. I'd love to do something in healthcare management like my sister but I just don't think I can handle that and family at the same time. She is so busy all the time with her 3 kids, school, and working nights. I barely have enough time to breathe as it is...
OMG, somebody tell me that cleaning counts as exercise! Has anyone ever looked at the top of your cabinets? (If anyone tells me they clean theirs on a regular basis, I will cry!) I never thought to clean there. Guess what. It's GROSS. It was so dirty, it was fuzzy. Ugh, Ugh Ugh. Not anymore tho. I got all but one cabinet. I couldn't reach it. I will have DH get it for me.
Lauren: Yeah, the Pooh cake came with blue icing. Whatcha gonna do? Besides, it makes your tongue such a pretty color. And I'm still finding bits of it all over the place.
Chris: I'm sorry your little one is sick. It sucks so bad when they are sick. Mine wanted to be held for a WEEK after he was sick. He's just now beginning to leave me to play. I'm glad your hubby is feeling better, too!
Karen, can't I take just a few minutes break here and there. If not, I would either cry or do some damage to something. I am trying not to eat, and I have no money to shop.
I'd be happy with solid B's or B-'s. lol. I have now got two of my finals done and out of the way. The only thing left is that blasted paper (project).
~~BTW Rhonda I live not in the UK but in Australia, land of chips, wedges, mars bars and Turkish delight as well as much good wine Seriously we are v. lucky here as produce is so good and relatively inexpensive it's easy to eat well. My problem is stopping!
take care~~
You have a lot of the same foods (chips and turkish delights) as the UK then? I really miss some of the food from England. We ate Indian often and here in the US (and I live in the middle of nowhere) it isn't as widespread. I miss the fish and chips from the fish and chips truck and the chip shop. My husband loves Turkish delights, I didn't really care for them much. Of course I miss more than just the food. LOL.
Rhonda, nice to see you...I thought we lost you! Here in NJ we have a Scottish Festival at the PNC Arts Center every Fall and there's a couple of shops from Kearny that set up stands that sell fish and chips. My grandparents (Gran is off the boat from Scotland) love it. I don't care for it, I stick with the meat pies, but that's just because I don't like seafood. Depending on where in PA you are, you should make the trip, usually it's in the end of Sept, beginning of Oct.

Sorry I haven't been here much. We actually make our own fish and chips from time to time. McCormick makes a batter that is very similar to the batter they used that the fish and chip shops, and well chips are chips. One of the things I miss most from the fish and chips shops are the mushy peas. I have no idea how they made them...I guess I shoudl just look it up for the next time we make the fish and chips. We are in western Pa but that sounds like a nice trip.
I also miss the yorkshire puddings...They had frozen ones that I could just pop in the oven with my sunday dinner. I have a recipe for those and I have tried to make them a few times...note the word tried...it didn't go well. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Hmmm all this talk about the food I miss from England makes me understand how I gained weight while we lived there. LOL

Rhonda, here's the website for the place we like: Stewarts of Kearny They ship! (Now I'm gonna have to get some meat pies!!) Are you British, or did you just live there for awhile?
Rhonda, I live in Ohio and some of the local grocery stores sell ethnic foods, and believe it or not, they have food from England (and mushy peas). Maybe you could ask your grocery store.
Hi guys! I had fun checking out that Kearny's site. They do sell mushy peas....I have to say, I can't stand peas anyway and to consider them mushy does not make them more appetizing.
We have had the stomach flu whip through our house. I should NOT have weighed myself, but I did, and I am down 4 lbs. Unfortunately, it is because I have not kept anything down for 2 days. Ugh. I am going to try some sprite in a bit. Full calorie, no less. My main worry about myself is...I hope my body does not go into starvation mode and cling to calories now. Oh well! one thing at a time.

I like mushy peas but I think I will pass on the canned ones...I never liked any of the canned ones I tried there.
I almost got a beef and kidney pie when we first got there...we went to a pub and I saw it on the menu...I thought it was beef and kidney beans...oh my...it was actually just kidney. YUK. I did try a few of the other meat pies though. I can't remember which one was my favorite...I know which pub I got it at but can't remember what was in it even. I would normally get either the fish and chips or the sunday dinner. (roast pork, turkey, beef or lamb, roasted potatoes, brocolli, parsnips and one other veggie, sometimes a sausage or stuffing ball on the side depending on which meat) I loved it.

We don't have any british "foods" we do have a few types of biscuts (cookies) but that's it. What store do you shop at? I am not sure about trying the canned peas, I didn't really care for the canned stuff I tried while I was there. I have to do a search for a recipe and just try to make them.
Homemade is always best. LOL. (also a pain in the butt most of the time)
