Thanks for the welcome, Sassy. I hope you can work out everything with your job. I don't know why (it just seems to me) that people intentionally make things hard. When they really don't have to be. Things can be plenty hard all by their selves - without people making them hard(er).
I hope everyone's weekend will go well and that we all have a nice and easy on plan week.

Today is a birthday party for my niece then its home for some cleaning...joy

Jax its wonderful to see you here. I'm so happy you get to visit a therapist (and at a good price). Self medicating hmmmmmm that sounds all to familiar and it really hits a nerve with me too. I think after a few visits with this person you will start to get a peaceful feeling because you will start to understand why you do what you do and you won't be so hard on yourself. Once I was diagnosed with ADHD I did not hate myself so much for the things I couldn't do or understand, it was like the weight of the world was off my shoulders (for that particular problem). How are you doing with the band?

Sassy, I hope some good comes out of the work meetings, I'll be saying a little prayer for you. I was thinking.... I know your alone when your DH is working and if your to nervous to get out and do something, how about a hobby? is there anything you like to do? do you like to dance? how about a dance video ? I hate hearing how sad you are.

Hope, Prayers for you and your G'ma see you when you get back. Have a safe trip.

Cathy I LOVE YOU GIRLIE

Brandnewme I'm glad you didn't stay in bed and some times pressure is good. Its makes us do things we normally wouldn't do. This sounds sick but I work so much better under pressure...with out it, I tend to fall apart. What sort of work would you be looking for once you start job hunting? My sister is a nanny and loves it, she refuses to go into the "work field" for lack of a better word. She is registered with an agency and had an FBI background check. She gets more $$$ just because of that. So if you enjoy it...you might think about registering with an agency.

Buddy, tell your neighbor to mind his/her own business. If you want to walk your DD's to the bus then do so. Boy...people have nerve don't they LOL.

Heather girl, I see you hope your feeling okay.

My fingers are going numb.... oy.

Well girls, I gotta run....dd wants to take us out for breakfast

Leenie, sometimes the band and I are just not friends.
But I'm doing better, except.
Except that I seem to be sabotaging myself. So, I'm stopping again. And am going to work at it double hard. -Again. It seems as soon as I let me focus change onto something else (like looking for a relationship), I start to sabotage myself. I guess I really need to just push aside any thing besides the weight loss (and school) and focus, focus, focus.
Also, I'd like to say to Hope that my thoughts are with you and your grandmother - I hope everything will be ok.
Jax

Good Morning Ladies,

Jax, I know exactly what you mean about sabotage..... even with the band, you still need to have a plan, work hard and stick to it. People think just b/c you have surgery your off the hook...not so. You still have to watch everything you put in your mouth. Hang in there !!! and remember SLOW IS GOOD !!!!!!

Its a beautiful cool crisp day out, you'd think fall definitely set in. Today we'll be going to church and then in the afternoon its prepping the house for my 3 day work trip. I gotta get DH all set up with DD's school clothes, schedules, snacks, etc. Meals are planned out for the two of them so thats one thing down. And I have to pack my clothes with out DD seeing me. We're not telling her until tomorrow night b/c she will be a wreck in school and IMHO there's no need to make her miserable.

So.... You probably won't hear from me until Thursday or Friday...Possibly next Saturday.

Have a wonderful week everyone and feel free to start up the weekly chat at any time
