WELCOME!

Ok I'm be the first to post here unless someone beats me to it while I am typing!

Good news is that we put the house on the market monday and had 4 offers on wednesday. 2 were for above asking price. Of course we took one of those!! AND...John got the word that his transfer went through to the Lowe's in Wake Forest NC. Thats the town we originally wanted to live in! Sooo...lets keep our fingers crossed that everything goes through with the sale of the house. We have to make another trip down there so we can look at a few more houses and make an offer on one!! I'll be quite busy! Next weekend is Andrew's birthday party so we will probably go down the weekend after that.

I'm headed for bed. I'll catch up with you all later!

TTFN Michelle

Hi all! :wave: 2:00 AM and I'm off to bed. :yawn:

Michelle: Sounds like you've had some exciting goings on lately. Congrats of the fast sale of your home and on honey's confirmed transfer. Good for you guys.

Calling all my Survivor Junkie Friends......
Preview of the next Survivor this Sunday, be there or be square! LOL

I almost missed Thankful Thursday. Glad I peeked in.

I am thankful for this group of ladies
I am thankful for my husband
I am thankful for my health..even though it has lots of room for improvement.
I am thankful I don't have cancer to my knowledge. (Dear friend and sister does)
I am thankful I finally lost more than my one pound ...now to KEEP IT OFF :drill:
I am thankful for the mini vacation we are taking this weekend.

That brings me to why I am posting.
I am going out of town in the morning. I won't be back until Tuesday.
They do not have internet there.. and I don't have a laptop.
We are headed for Roaring River State Park near Cassiville MO.
We get to take our granddaughters with us early. The rest of the family is coming Sat afternoon.
Those of you home this weekend... keep our thread going.
Want to be sure we don't miss any newcomers.
Speaking of newcomers.... I am REALLY happy to have you in our group. We all share so many same thoughts and experiences. Yet.. we are each so individual too.
I will return Tuesday. Have a great weekend whether you are out of town or staying home. It is up to US to make our lives enjoyable. That can be as simple as taking a walk.... to fancy as going on vacation. Just enjoy whatever it is you do this weekend.
Remember ... ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING !!!!!!

Survivor 12 Step Program
 

Hi, I'm Skittles and I am a Survivor Junkie. :D It is so easy to be one because it comes on right before my favorite show, CSI. Two hours of drama, backstabbing, humor, and all out yummyness. I love William Peterson. :p Those are two of the three shows I will not miss on tv. The other is Gilmore Girls. I really don't have to watch anything else, ok, "Extreme Home Makeover" Ty, I like Ty. :o But really that is it. We don't have cable, so we are limited to channels. Which I enjoy cause then I don't watch too much tv. But there are times I miss it. There are channels I would love to have. But alas, if I really want to see it I just have a friend tape it.

So anyway, back to Survivor. I am looking forward to this season cause there is a girl on from around here. She was in a band and had to quit so she could do this, but she couldn't tell them where she was going. Kinda Cool. Also I want to check out the guy with the amputation. That will be cool.

Well it is Friday YeaY :D and I made it through another week. :dizzy: And it is payday, YeaY, :D I need the money. And it is a three day weekend Yeay, :D I'll have a shorter week next week. :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I am not sure what we are doing yet but if I am around I will post random ramblings.

Everyone who is in the path of Frances, take care and be safe. I have family there and I am not sure if they've had to evacuate or not. So I am waiting to hear from them.

Prayers, happy thoughts, healing energy, and love to all.
Skittles

Even though my DH does not read this thread, and I don't talk about it much, but somehow me must have gotten the message that Friday's are FUN FRIDAY'S, He gotten into this habit of playing golf every Friday. At least that means he's not around the office fussing at me :lol:

Good morning ladies!

I'm thrilled to have a day off today!

I wasn't sure whether I'd get off or not clear up to 5 pm last night. The boss continues to improve her b**** skills. She was mad at me for not doing something as she had asked on Thursday. Except that I did do it and spent several hours doing it, and left the result in her office on her work table. She would not acknowledge that she was wrong. I will say that there is something very big going on and has been for several months, and she is beyond sleep deprived. No excuse to treat us bad. She made a point of telling me that since I'm off today, I need to plan on a long week next week to get done what needs to be done. I wanted to say, well you've known what I need to do for over a week now and haven't let me know so I lost a week of time. But I didn't. Enough of that.

The dog and I slept in after DH left for his morning route. The dog enjoys having me at home. I need to work on bill stuff this morning.

I think for fun I'll run up to Hobby Lobby to look at scrapbooking stuff. One of my goals for the weekend is to get started.

I also have some stuff that I may try my hand at selling on ebay. I need to get pictures and figure out how to do the shipping part. That confuses me. But I think, our good friend and ebay pro Thin, said to package it first. So I need boxes. More to research.

I took Bear with me to go to the horses last night since DH was off on a trip. Bear was pretty good except he'd go crazy when I was next to the horses. He'd bark and bark. I think its his protective personality. But I hated coming home, changing clothes, and rushing off leaving him behind yet again. Now that its cooling off, he won't get overheated out there with us.

I think tonight we're riding horses. That's fun!

Tomorrow is cleaning the garage and then spending the afternoon and evening on the boat. I am determined to grill on the boat. I'll make it light and we'll have turkey italian sausages. Maybe I'll even make the potato salad so I can use light mayo.

Since I slept in this morning, I didn't get up and exercise as planned. So I still have that to do. I think I'll do that when DH leaves again to go to the cardiologist.

The big goal for this weekend is to lose 1 pound. That means activity, lots of water, planning healthy foods, and portion control. I do admit to a tad bit of stress eating the last two days at work but they were the mini snicker bars and it was only 2 or 3 and not the whole bag. And I have eaten salads at lunch all week. Enough rationalization!

Did I tell you I bought a pair of Eddie Bauer jeans on ebay? Size 18? I got them on Wednesday. I think they are regular size 18 and not women's size 18. Don't everybody get excited that I can wear size 18. Yet. I bought them because I wanted to see how far off I am from my goal of being able to shop for size 18s. That is my ultimate goal for weight loss anyway. I got them on and no way to zip them up but I GOT THEM ON! My challenge to myself then is to be able to wear those jeans to the Spring Fling II. That is not unrealistic at all. Especially if we keep doing the 1 or 2 pound challenges.

Survivor! I'll be there! The last one about burned me out though. I also like Amazing Race, The Apprentice, CSI, looking forward to CSI-NY because I am obsessed with NY, and HBO shows on Sunday night.

Enough rambling for now. Hope I didn't bore ya!

Christine - Welcome to the group!

Debra - I was wondering about your vacation to FL. How disappointing. But how devastating for the state to have this again!

Andria - Take care of that knee. How frustrating and painful! :grouphug:

I better get productive. :wave:

One pound gone by next Tuesday:

Terri
Kat
Judy
Lucky
2Cute
Susie
Skittles
BarbPA
CD
Angela
Thin
Debra
anyone else?

As a group, we lost almost 16 pounds on our last challenge. How much can we add to that with this challenge? Ooooh, I may have to make a spreadsheet to track our accomplishments!

Hey Gals!
Just a quick hello! :wave: I am off to another Dr. appt. --- 3rd in 3 days. I'll update you when I get back. Should have time this afternoon!!!
Have a wonderful Friday! Talk to you in a bit!
Hugs!
Barb
;)

:wave:

Quick "Hi!" I'm off to the pool with the boys. (son and nephew)

Back later!

Getting ready to leave work for a quiet 3-day weekend!!!!

I'll be around and will try to get here for some personal responses. Keep reminding that just because I'm home alone doesn't mean I can eat everything in sight!

Tgif!!
 

Good Afternoon Ladies!

I hope everyone is having a great start to Labor Day week-end. I have had a long week starting back at school and am grateful to be able to be home with my family the next 3 days. My son's school flooded last week, so his school year start was delayed from this past Weds. to next Tues. Damn, why couldn't it have been my school!??? :lol:

At any rate, back on the South Beach bandwagon starting tomorrow. Looking forward to hommus mixed with a little peanut butter and fat free cottage cheese as a dip for celery. ( I know it sounds icky, but it satisfies every craving for sweets or bread type snacking, and actually tastes really good!).

DH is at work at Hannaford 'til 7 pm and so I am off to play with my little one. I'll be around this weekend for those stopping by. Keep up the good work everyone!

TTFN

:cool:

Ugh! What a week! I am so glad it's Friday. :)

DH's work is just crazy right now, which makes everything else even more difficult. He was in Boston one day and worked until about 10pm the rest of the days. He is going to have to do some work over what should be a nice long weekend. The are on crazy deadlines for some projects they have going on. So, that's just made all the rest of the craziness even crazier! :dizzy:

Where to begin.....let's see, on Wednesday I had my yearly appt. with my OB/GYN. I haven't talked to her since she gave us the "zero sperm" diagnosis for DH last December and then left me hanging out there trying to figure out what to do, which left a bad taste in my mouth. So, I really had no desire to get into a lot of it with her because she is not involved in what is going on right now. When I do get pregnant (notice the positive thinking) I will have to return to my OB/GYN, but I am not sure I am going to keep her. I just felt like I had to get my yearly appt. out of the way. Of course she asked, "are you trying to lose weight" --- I wanted to punch her! I have discussed my weight with her in the past and she has been somewhat encouraging, but just doesn't seem genuine. I explained how much I had lost and discussed the emotions and hormones and the gain back and that I am working on it. Next question, "do you exercise, it might make you feel better". UGH!! Has she not listened to anything I've said?? I just wanted to get out of there. So, when she was done I didn't create any more conversation. I just wanted to get dressed and run. Ugh - over with!!!

Then on Thursday I had to hijack DH from work to go to the new IVF lab for an appt. We both had to get blood work - I ended up in the stirrups for a 2nd day in a row! :o DH had to stick a q-tip you know where for a test. That was all fun. Ugh! The staff was fabulous! We got a tour of the facility and went over everything, which we are pretty well versed in by now. As it turns out the nurse just had twins after her own infertility struggles. She completely understood when I burst into tears while we were talking. She gave us so much encouragement and support. We left there feeling on top of the world for a change. Then DH went back to work and returned around 10pm. Poor guy!

That brings us to today - Friday. Again, stealing DH from work we had to go visit the new urologist. Since we are seeing a new reproductive specialist we had to change urologists - even though we loved the old one. We are not crazy about the new one. He seems ok, but didn't make us feel warm and fuzzy. Poor DH had to have another exam (ouch) and more blood drawn - the nurse really hurt him today digging for a vein. We are back to square one with all his testing. Once we get the results next week we'll know what's next. Sounds like DH may be put on some meds to hopefully increase sperm production before the next biopsy. One thing that really rubbed me the wrong way with this new Dr. was that while we were talking about our treatments and switch to the new Dr. he had the nerver to ask me about my weight, suggesting that it could be a problem with my ovary stimulation. Listen here buddy - I am not your patient, my husband is and I have discussed my weight with my own Dr. who knows how hard I am working on it and doesn't not think it is causing any of my problems! I was furious. Of course I didn't say any of that. I said, "Yes, we have discussed my weight, I have lost some in the past and am still working on it". I just didn't think it was really appropriate.

So, now we wait.....again. :kickcan: :kickcan: :kickcan:

On the weight loss front, I am moving again, slow and steady. I had a pretty good exercise week and plan on exercising each day this weekend. Food could still improve a bit - it would help if I'd go grocery shopping and actually cook at home. I have eaten more at Panera lately than in my house. Thankfully I can get a nice healthy meal there --- they have salad, soups and sandwiches. They have yummy bread that they give you with your order, but I've been telling them not to put it in the bag - that way the temptation is not there! The weather has be gorgeous and the dogs have been getting lots of walks and loving it!

Gosh, I have rambled on and not even replied to anyone! Sorry!!! I will try to make more time for you all this weekend!!! I have to do a few things for work before I call it quits for the day! :)

I do have to say - Michelle, congrats on the quick sale of the house! Sounds like things are kicking in to gear! I haven't had a chance to ask Jeff about the 11th, but I'd love to see you and Andrew again and meet John. I'll let you know. Will you be down this way anytime soon?

Talk to you all later!
Love,
Barb
:D

Back quickly to say.....WELCOME CHRISTINE!!! Sorry I didn't get that in sooner!

Barb...Sunday Andrew and I will be hanging around the house. If the weather is nice maybe we can meet at the park again! Bring a picnic lunch or something and Charlie of course!! I hope you can make the 11th!!

I'm so tired today! I left work at 2:30 today to take Andrew to the doctors. He has had a fever for about 3 days now. He tested positive for strep throat so now he is on antibiotics and feeling better already! Poor little guy!

I gotta go grill the salmon...I am HUNGRY TOO! Talk at you all later!

Oi, I am sleepy so can't write much..

Today I recieved my pack of Walk Away the Pounds in the mail! After cleaning my room I put in the first video (1 mile, 15mins). It was a piece of cake! It got me worn out just a bit but it still felt great. Then, around 11pm I decided to do the 2miles, 30 mins tape! It was very hard! Okay, I don't think most people walk 4mph! And its a lot more aerobic/dance based than I thought it would be. I was dying half way through but did it completely! I'm definitely happy, and I'm going to try the 2mile twice a day if possible :) If not, I'll just stick to 1mile twice.

Anywho, just wanted to say how happy I am about that :) I've been up all night doing artwork, so I'm going to crash! Have a good weekend all of you!

Good Morning!
 

Hiya,

Well, I just got up at 9:30 am. I thought I had asked DH to make sure I was up so I could leave by 9 am to go to Curves and do my workout. He woke me up at 9:10 am, saying he thought I asked him to make sure I got up at 9 am. :dizzy:

Oh well, I'll have to find some other way to get physical today. DH works from 10:30 - 7 pm so I'm flying solo with the kidlets.

Hope everyone's having a great day, enjoy the beginning of the long week-end!

TTFN

:coffee:

Good morning!

My second day of the weekend and its only Saturday, YEAH!

I had a good day yesterday. It was nice to putz around and run errands. I did stop by Hobby Lobby and there is way too much in the scrapbooking section. Way overwhelming.

I did 25 minutes of the WW DVD. I should be able to do it all now that I've either done the moves or watched the moves.

This morning we're headed over to the horses for our ride. We didn't last night because DH was tired and his back hurt. I'll be making light potato salad and we'll head over to the boat for the afternoon. A little fishing then grilling! Turkey italian sausages not fish! :lol:

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.

Don't forget our goal of one pound gone!

Hi, :wave:

Yesterday was a slip and slide day. :( But If I watch my pts. for the rest of the week I can still be OK. ;)

Picked up a bag of frozen chicken breasts lots of fruits and veggies and no cookies or other crunchies. If I want one I'll get a small pkg of 4 rather than buying (and eating) a whole box. :o

I'm going to try to start walking this weekend but my knees haven't been good so that may be a bust. We'll see.

Almost forgot to ask. Does anyone have any suggestions for leg cramps? My calves have been cramping for the last few days. It hurts!!!!! I'm eating bananas cause they have potassium . That's supposed to help.

I'm Baaack :)
 

Hey Pals
I hope all is well with ya? I've been under so much stress due to family tragedies, work and school. But now that I have my life back, I am ready to start losing again. My starting weight for September is 288.6 and I want to challenge myself to to be 10lbs less by Halloween.
As for my WOE, I've decided to go lowcarb due to my diabetes being out of control and to exercise at least 3 times per week. By that I mean more than the 30 minutes I've been doing daily. This for sure will be a challenge since I work and go to school so my days are filled from 7:30am to 6:30pm Monday thru Friday.
Oh Yes, THINTHINKER,
THANK YOU:love: for my card, I really needed that.

Hi all...

Not much doing here in central Illinois. I seem to have come down with my annual as-soon-as-the-students-come-back-to-campus-they-bring-new-germs-and-I-get-a-cold headcold.

Actually, I needed this weekend badly. My life is very disorganized. My phone's been disconnected because I didn't pay the bill--not because I didn't have the money, just because I'm so disorganized. Last week I got two parking tickets because I hadn't gotten my parking sticker renewed. Today I realized I hadn't had my maintenance prescriptions refilled, so I haven't yet had my meds. So I'm hoping in the next couple of days to get caught up/organized a little so that I'll stop creating dumb crises.

Meanwhile--I don't think I shared this with y'all--my ex (well, soon-to-be-ex) moved to Illinois from PA (we'd been in separate states for the last 4 years). So he's close by and keeps wanting me to come help him with assorted things. The guilt gets to me. I hate that.

Judy: You asked for a reminder, so hey, don't eat everything just cause you're home all weekend ;) Re: leg cramps, I used to find that calcium helped (I just took a couple tums every day). Since I've not been taking the calcium (more disorganization), I'm doing the leg cramp middle-of-the-night dance a lot myself.

Happy weekend to all--hope that pound's one its way off!

Angela, I hope you feel better soon.

Darlin', from one procrastinator :nono: to another: Take a cold pill. Collect those pieces of paper that run our lives from where ever you've stashed them, get the check book, sit down :coffee: and write the checks! I'm awful about waiting til the last minute too. Then when I do sit and take care of everything I'm always amazed how little time it took. 15 min - 1/2 hr a couple times a month avoids all of the "I've gotta pay bills, order pills" worries that bug us all month.

I'm off to find the Tums. :D

Hey hey hey...

Nice goofing off day here...son's football game was cancelled, (other team forfeited) so we went home and I promptly took a nap. ahhhh. Since then, I'be been doing little things like filling up the bird feeder, dead heading flowers, watering, I called my mom, and cleaned out the frig while we chatted. That's it, I'm done. Dh and I are going to see Toby Keith tonight. I'm not big on country music, so I have no idea what I'm in for. I'm glad the weather has been so nice anyway, we'll be sitting outside!

Hi, Joe Anne! Welcome back! You are one busy lady, you are!

Angela, that's some good advice there from miss j-ann. Sometimes, just the idea of all that needs to be done is so daunting, that nothing gets done. I hear that!! But. like anything else...start with those baby steps and soon you're on your way. Really.

j-ann...I'll second that on the Tums, I've heard that too. Bananas and OJ too! Hope that helps!

Terri, Hope you're having fun with the horseys and with your boat. You've got some good toys there!

CD...Wow, that's a lot of working out in one day! Good for you!

Barb...Back in the saddle again, huh? Still keeping you in my prayers! :bb:

Michelle...As always...the whirlwind girl! Nothing laid back about you! So have you signed up for classes in NC yet?

Thin...Got the card, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I loved looking at the map, thinking..."Hmmm...Detroit's not that far away!" Then I plugged it into Mapquest...Only 633 miles for a total driving time of 9 hours and 27 minutes! Next, I'll be looking at Travelocity for airfare...I ain't crazy! Hey! BTW...what's the scoop about hubby's job? He's on the prayer list too!

2cute...hope you're having fun!

UH OH...I hear the boss man stirring...that means he'll be stomping in here shortly, wondering why I'm not getting ready! Allow me to slip off quietly to the shower....

Have a great night all...and a Happy Labor Day weekend!

judy try magnesium for the cramps.

kat i am jealous toby kieth!!!!!!

pat

Hi Kat- I have already signed up for classes for the fall semester. I have finals this week and then I have two weeks off. THey have a Strayer University right in Raleigh too! How convienent huh?

I have been as sick as a dog today! Andrew with his strep throat is on antibiotics and what do I wake up with this morning? A fever of 101.9, body aches and pains and a very sore throat that just won't go away. This fever stinks! First I'm hot then I'm cold! I am on antibiotics too but they don't seem to be doing anything just yet. Hopefully tomorrow I will be better. I spent most of the day in bed now my back hurts! John already started packing stuff. So hopefully tomorrow while he is working I will be able to do some packing too and shopping for Andrew's birthday parties! OMG KAT! You are welcome to come on saturday too! Please please don't be offended when I asked Barb...my brain has been so fried lately!

We are doing a cookout on saturday at 1 pm and the kid's party with daycare and his school is at the Sports Zone on sunday. I have to shop for food and order his cakes. So much to do...have to order my books for school and sell these other books back to the book store. Have to book a hotel for the 15-18th in NC cause we are going down to look at a couple more houses and put an offer in on one! Yippeee! Then I have to call the mortgage guy and get that rolling and reserve a truck for moving! We are going to move ourselves. Getting rid of most of the furniture except the bedroom sets, the new couch we bought last year and who knows what else. We are going to buy new stuff! Lucky me!! Geesh...then we have to go to RI one weekend after the 25th because thats our yard sale day and then the settlement on this house is the 15th of October...heellpp!! Calgon take me away!

Ok enough of that babbling I need to get some rest so I can recuperate by the morning!

TTFN Michelle

Hey everyone :)

I'm not supposed to be up, but I couldn't stand to be in bed either. Thanks for all the well wishes! They mean so much to me. :)

The doc is fairly sure I haven't done any permanent damage, but we won't know for 10 days. I have another appointment with him on the 14th, and he wants me to be doing physical therapy as well. The pain is down by a huge margin, but it still won't hold any weight. I did decide to drop school. I know accomodations could have been made, but there was still that long drive to factor in (about 48 miles each way), and the doc said no driving for a couple of weeks. So, with a heavy sigh and no lack of tears, I called and withdrew from everything.

Yes, there is always next semester. Yes, I believe everything happens for a reason. Yes, if one more person says that to me, I might just go postal on them...

I'd better get myself back to the bed and get this thing elevated before it starts to hurt again. Just wanted to catch up on reading and bring you all up to date. :)

Hey, any tips out there for wonderful, well-meaning neighbors who bring over dinners that are so high fat and high calorie that I shouldn't even dream of eating them? The dinner last night was hot dogs, chili loaded with cheese, Pringles, iced oatmeal raisin cookies and a jar of peaches. I didn't say no to it all and paid all night long with an upset stomach. I'm not used to eating like that anymore! I don't want to sound ungrateful, because I'm not. My eldest daughter thought it was the coolest dinner ever. My youngest couldn't eat anything besides the peaches. Right now I know just how she feels. Normally the neighbors/church get together with me and we work out a safe menu so that we don't have to prepare something separate for the munchkin. Guess I'm sounding kind of whiny there. Not meaning to, it is just frustrating not being able to do it all myself and to have to waste their efforts as well.

I'd better head back to bed and fast. I'm ending up retyping every other word and actually typing out words that I didn't mean to be there in the first place! The wonder of pain meds...

Andria

Hi ladies,

Just checking in before bed. We just got home from the boat. We've had a busy day. Went to the horses late morning. We got both horses out to ride. I got DH on Tanyah which was quite a trying event. With his neurapathy, I just don't think he's going to be able to ride with comfort and confidence. He rode around the arena a little bit but she wasn't minding too well and made him too scared. If he lost his balance, he'd probably go to the ground like a rock. But since she was being a bad girl, I got on her and rode her. We went out in the hay field and cantered. I'm loving that now that I have figured out that I can. Then I rode her in the arena again and made her canter and do turns like doing barrel racing. What fun that was!!! I even rode Ginger today. That was the first time in two months and it felt great. No limping at all with the foot. I enjoy riding so much and feel so bad that DH doesn't get to enjoy it as well. Unless we decide to sell one of the two and find a bomb-proof horse, I don't think he ever will enjoy it. And that all causes guilt for me. I love it and want to ride but feel bad that he's left out. So do I give it up? What a quandry.

No fish biting at the lake. But we enjoyed being out and grilling. Until the skeeters came out to bite. We heard a hoot-owl and saw a deer come down to drink.

I don't think we're doing much after church tomorrow. I think just enjoy the day at home and with the dog. He does so well in the house but he sure looks sad at being left behind all the time.

Andria - I'm sorry to see that you had to drop your classes. It is curious that people think that in time of need, full fat comfort food is what is appropriate. You weren't whining or seeming ungrateful. When my FIL died, people brought over the weirdest casserole food I've ever seen. Some of it was scary looking too! About the best I can offer is to eat a small portion, feed the kids, and put the rest down the disposal.

Michelle - Sorry to hear you've got the crud too. You certainly don't have time to be down now! What a whirlwind you're going to be!

Joe Anne - Good to see you popping back in!

Judy - How about water? I've always heard that not getting enough water will cause leg cramps.

Angela - Check out the Fly Lady! www.flylady.com She proposes attacking stuff just 15 minutes at a time.

Kat - Enjoy Toby! He's good but not one of my faves. I prefer George Strait.

I'm off to bed. :wave: to everyone else!

Hi All! :wave:

Vitamin E is great for leg cramps. 800 - 1000 IU's a day. I can really tell when I haven't been taking mine.

Thin thanks for the card. I wish I could come but I know I won't be able to.

DH and I both are sick with some kind of crud

Happy Sunday
 

Hi Ladies,

Well, my 2 1/2 year old never ceases to amaze me. She and I slept in until 9:45 am! She wouldn't take a nap yesterday and was up at midnight for a bit with DH due to a bad dream. I was shocked when I heard her babbling to herself and looked at the clock and saw the time. (We live in a 2 bedroom apt. so she sleeps in our room...yep, not the greatest situation especially for romantic interludes! :o )

At any rate, DH left for work at 6:45 am and I fully expected Jenniah to be up then. Guess no nap again today, but at least Daddy will home at 3:45 pm.

I love 3 day week-ends. Yesterday the laundry got done, the dishwasher unloaded and lots of other chores done as usual. That means not only today but tomorrow are play days!

Well, gotta run. Little one wants Mommy to watch Spongebob with her. Have a great day!

TTFN

:comp:

Good news! I went for weigh in at WW yesterday and was down 4.5 pounds! I am below 300 again.

Now for the bad news.... I had too much food yesterday. I ate out for breakfast and them at a big lunch/dinner at my Mom's house, as we were celebrating my sister-in-law's birthday. I ate a lot of spinach dip and meatballs.

I am trying to do better today, but honestly I am really getting depressed about not being pregnant yet. I really don't think that my husband is putting 100% into us trying. I am starting to really be pissed off at him (internally not actually to him). We have been 'trying' since November and I surely thought that it was have happened by now. I realize he has to take all the medications that he does and that is to blame for a lot of the problems in getting pregnant, but it still doesn't make it better for me. It also doesn't help that he promised that I would be pregnant by the end of this month, yet, he isn't doing what is necessary to get pregnant. I say do it as much as possible (or at least as much once the ovulator predictor says so), yet he is too tired or whatever.... URGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well, I feel tears getting ready to come, so I better let this go right now. :stress: :cry:

Later,

Susie
