Afternoon All........
 

Hi all,

My workout last night was kind of pitiful. I was so drained from the housework I did earlier that day that I could barely do anything. Couple that with not having done anything in a long time and whew! :whoo: My friend didn't feel that great either so we both just did as little as possible. Still, I guess it was better than nothing. I meant to do something today, but it may not happen.

Amarie: I did sort and shred some crap in my computer desk here today. If I were to pick a goal for the weekend it would be to finish the spare room/new gym this weekend. Thank you for making me write that out loud! :D I'll try to be done by the time you get back from your trip.

Gotta run for now: :hug: to those who need it, :bravo: to those who deserve it. I'll try to do personals later, but I have been reading.

Trying to unpack some more boxes still....They are stacked sooo high...that is where we put all the boxes when we moved....ughh...it has to get done sometime so I guess I am the one who has to do it....ohhh yeah I hurt my ankle like almost a year and half ago right before i got prego with my last baby and today it is all swollen like it was then I dont know if its because i was on it sooo much this last two days but that really sucks...not really painful but I know that its there... Well ttyl...have a bday party tonight ..

where is everyone at??? I feel like I am just posting blogs to myself...HAHAHA... was an alright night felt pretty crappy because I ate two hot dogs because I had got my husband one and he didnt know it and went and got himself two so I had one already there and most everyone else had already ate...I only ate like a few bites of desert cause my daughter didnt wanna finish it. I probably came close to my calories I ate stuff that didnt have boxes to tell me and I am soo new at this i didnt have the time to look it up before i ate it...oh well life goes on but i am still doing good on hold those 5 pounds lost now I just need to get more...5 at a time add up!!! Ok well gotta be up at the buttcrack of dawn to go see my foster daughter hours away!!! yippee...hopefully someone gets on and updates before I get home tomorrow then again its the weekend everyones busy!!! have a good day...
Sassy I hope your doing ok...i hope your keeping your strength up with those highschoolers you work with!!!

OK Momof4, I'll post again. Enjoy your trip! Maybe the time in the car will rest your ankle some. As for the unpacking, you can join me and Amarie in our quest to put things in their place.

Tomorrow I'm meeting a friend for breakfast and then we are going to see her husband spar in a martial arts fight. Should be interesting! I'm not sure what else I'll do.

I could mow the yard but it's very dry and I don't want to kill it. The 100 degree days got to it. We're also smelling the smoke here in VA from fires in North Carolina hundreds of miles away. :flame: Very strange. I can only imagine how bad the air quality is there.

Buddly: Did the in-laws get there ok? I'll bet your house looks great. I'm the same, I could have finished my projects much quicker too but at least they are getting there.

Sassy and Shop: How are both feeling? Any better?

Raven: Still on a yoga high? :yoga: I was beginning to do some yoga when I was working out more a few weeks ago. The workout yesterday included a little yoga, but I'm in such a bad state physically, it just hurt and suffocated me. I know I can build back up, but it's hard to get going again.

Heather: I thought I might be sore after my first workout in a while, but it was such a half-hearted 40 minutes that I don't feel a bit sore today! :lol: You must have actually put some effort into yours! What are you going to do this weekend?

Well, I better hit the hay so I don't oversleep tomorrow.

Omfg..is June like the longest month ever? Or does it just feel that way because I want it to end asap, lol.

Hi Ladies,

Its a pretty day in NJ, sun is shining and sky is a light light blue. Funny how some times its such a robins egg blue.

Busy day today, got a fathers day karate (dh and dd) this aught to be interesting lol. Then its off to see my FIL and then to the honda dealer to look :eek: Then its food shopping and maybe some time in the pool.

Hope your all having a great weekend, stay cool...but mostly stay happy :hug:

Love yah !

Leenie

Morning chicks! :wave:

I'm very tired today - I can't seem to do late nights the way I used to - ! :lol3:

I have friends coming for dinner, so a nice healthy chicken cacciatore is one the menu! Still can't run with my injury - managed .75 of a mile on the treadmill yesterday - DE-press-ING! - but I walked the rest of an hour, which has to be better than sitting on my butt! ;)

Have a great day all -
Heather :D

Good morning ladies!!

Wet and cold here, but at least its very green! Yesterday it was at the freezing point when we got up! This made me very thankful I hadn't gotten the garden planted yet (I'm very late, but I was waiting for the ground to dry out and then got busy) My Dad and Step mother got here around 8 last night and we had a nice visit. We'll meet up with them again around noon at the venue and then back out here for a ham dinner. Thankfully things started to come together yesterday re the cleaning. I can't let them in the mud room or our bedroom, but at least the main part is clean enough and they can sit down in the bathroom! So all in all things are going fine. DdB is terribly nervous, so didn't get much sleep last night and then there is her dry grad tonight starting at 11pm. I baked a cake with the idea of decorating it for a cake walk, so we'll have to see how that goes as I'm making a neo classical butter cream icing that should be refrigerated so I figured I'd do it after dinner as my fridge is full.

Congratulations Hope and Heather for actually getting some movement in, Good for you!!

Momof4, when you do the drive to your foster daughters is it just you or are you packing all of your kidlets with you? Enjoy your visit.

Sugar I'm so sorry about your accident and the lack of hope from the doctors. Healing takes time.:hug:

Leenie does your hubby do Karate? I could just imagine mine at DdC's judo buddy night:lol3: Enjoy your day!

Shop I thought June was flying by :shrug: Mind you it we just finished with the snow not long ago.

Sassy I hope you feel better.

Well I'm getting yelled at as we have to get ready!

Take care everyone and have a wonderful weekend,
K

Good Morning Everybody!!! :hug:

Whew! I had a very busy day yesterday...went to my yoga class...ummm...okay...I will give you all a laugh about my very "un-Zen" thought in yoga class! Now, keep in mind that most likely I was also in the grips of some pretty bad pms as well...AND I had already complained about this occurrence ALOT! Friday classes are always a little more challenging than usual...Julie likes her sun salutations...alot... Well, we are getting towards the end of class and were working on some balance moves...I was all into it...on one leg with my other leg behind me...very om...:D when this *cough* gentleman cuts right in front of my mat and spot of focus to get the mats from the front of the room...he is from the Total Body Conditioning class next door and seemed intent on making everyone in our class focus on him as he left!!! Grrr!!! I fell out of my pose...and my mindset...oh...for most of the day! I have been working very hard on trying to keep the yoga principals...it's pretty hard during PMS...in case I haven't mentioned it...I get it pretty bad sometimes.. :bomb: Anyway...sigh...I wanted to cool down some but I am going to have to complain about this occurrence again...yes...they have the rights to their mats...but I have the right to feel safe that my concentration isn't going to be broken in such a blatant, intentional, manner..it is a safety issue at this point. I never did get back into the correct headspace, not even my cardio workout made me floaty again...
Then I had to do the grocery shopping and it was a zoo...and we got caught in rush hour on the way home...so by the time I actually did get home I was pretty much like the girl from the Exorcist...(minus the pea soup) :spin:
So, it was my mala to the rescue..(lovely strand of sandalwood meditation beads) Now, it actually isn't so much the beads (well that is a part of it) but more of the fact that using them allows me to focus better and actually get into the deeper relaxation of meditation. At any rate I felt better after I got some quiet time to use them.. And I feel much better this morning...not quite sure why I am up so early but I figure I will go take a nap soon...
lol so how are you all doin???!!!

Ahhh...okay, its time to get back on track. I have so much to do starting on monday. I have to clean up the house and throw out all the trash (the trash bags have just been sitting by the door for weeks now). I need to stop ordering pizza, lol. I gotta go to the store and buy a poster board, some stickers and stencils, and other stuff..because I'm making a homecoming sign for dh (even though he hasnt really been gone that, lol. But it will be his last welcome home sign in WA state). I have to take all the bags of clothes to Goodwill. Oh man..theres just so much to do. And even more to do when dh gets home. We have to schedule a time for the movers to come and pack up all our stuff for us (thank God for that..we dont have to pack anything!!! They do it all!!). We have to clean out this place and get rid of a ton of junk. We have to get a freakin apartment in MD!!! Take the baby kitty to the vet to get fixed. Clean out the car..get an oil change and tires checked out. Oh man..the list goes on and on and on and on, etc. LoL!! I feel so tired just thinking of all of that.

But for the moment. I'm gonna chill out and go back to reading Twilight for the 20 millionth time, lol.

ahhhhhhhh I have to catch up on your posts I am just frustrated annoyed aggrivated ticked off angry irritated..ok im sure you get the point. For the trip I took the two older boys because 3 hour drive is too long for the babies. boys are 5 and 3. It was an 8 hour visit and My nerves are soo freakin gone I like and wondering if I really took my meds this morning. Long trip then I was trying to make the kids some pizza and my sweet loving dh put the pans in the broiler of the gas stove RIGHT BY THE Pilot light...yeah so house is filled with smoke and my pans are ruinned...yes he did clean the house for me today while I was gone but all that goes out the door..MY BRAND NEW PANSSSSSSSS..... My kids are pushing me and pushing me....Like I figured out what the problem is its that I tell them and tell them and they ignore me and ignore me and push me to my limit till I actually flip and scream at them. Then they know I am serious. Instead of I tell them once and they listen or maybe on the second time but no the flipping push and push and push....Ok well I have kids fighting screaming crying...ITS like a daycare that NEVER ENDS.....UGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....sorry its sooo negative I am thankful for my kids but when my nerves are gone they are gone....ttyl
