Weekly Chat - June 16th - 22nd
 

Good Morning,

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Boy do they go fast, feels like I never left work friday LOL.

Nothing much is happening in Leenie world, just work, home, school, regular stuff ;) which is good.

Whats shakin with you guys?


.

I woke up too early!!! I fell asleep around 2, and woke up at 5:40. Why does that always happen to me? I was paranoid all night too. I thought I heard footsteps on the roof earlier last night. So I was freaked out for awhile.

Anyways..since I'm awake, I thought I'd start cleaning. Then I'm gonna walk to the store. I hope its chilly enough to wear a sweatshirt, cuz all my nice tops are in the hamper, lol.

Just wondering..does anyone else get paranoid, or is it just me?

Morning! :wave:

Thunderstorms kept waking me up all through the night Francie, so I'm tired today too :yawn:

I ate like a fiend all weekend... apparently, despite wanting to lose more weight, my BRAIN thinks this is a good place to maintain! :lol:

Nothing else of news, to be honest... how's everyone else?

Heather :D

its monday morning such an awful day sometimes. Cleaning and getting everyone back into a routine of the week. I need to put more into counting the calories and excercising. I need to plan my days and just put it in the plan. If it means getting up before the kids then I am going to have to lose sleep. It will be worth it in the end. I have half heartedly been doing this so I guess I am ready now to step it up....I dont know I am just rambling but that was what was on my mind. I will only get out of it what I put into it.
Ok well that is about all for right now I gotta go clean some stuff, make phone calls, put thousands of baskets of clothes away, and the list goes on. I love my kids but I HATE LAUNDRY. Like it NEVER NEVER ends in this house. Now that its summer I try to encourage them to wear less...hehe...just so I dont have to wash as much. My husband helps but I always feel bad cause he works so much and then when hes not working he has to help with kids and laundry and cleaning. I know as a stay at home mom that is "MY JOB" but seriously I have 4 toddlers/babies that you cant just let them run and do your thing. They need bottles, food, diapers changed, bandaids, breaking up fights, paper and crayons to draw, made to clean up toys, so much stuff that its very hard to do things some days cause every 2 minutes one of them need something. Some people dont understand me though they think I should do it all myself but I do try it just doesnt always work. With the depression there are just some days I care for the kids and dont care what else gets done. Oh well back to my life.....I gotta go take my medicine so maybe I can stay sane. I am feeling a little out of it cause I missed a dose over the weekend and I can feel it catching up in my system. Have a good day everyone!!! lata
Oh yeah those foot steps would freak me out. My cat is sooo noisy that the one night she woke me up and I thought someone was trying to get into my door on the porch and when I found out it was her I was SOOOOO mad she had scared me something awful!!!

Hola Chickareenos. :wave:

Just stopping by to say that work for me was extremely quiet.........

TTYL!!!

:hug:

Happy Monday ladies,

Momof4: If you ask me I don't think that there is any way that you could do it all. I marvle that you stay sane. :dizzy: I wouldn't feel bad at all to ask for some help. The kids are just too young right now to babysit themselves very long for you to do anything. Big kuddos for all you do.

I took the cat to the vet for the first time today to get some shots. Since he was a stray we don't know anything about his history. Let me tell you, it was like trapping the Tazmanian Devil in a cage. :lol: I wasn't sure if I'd live to tell. Turns out that he is healthy, has been neutered (shockingly), and is about 4 yrs old. He is off somewhere outside pouting right now :mad:. I'm sure he'll come back though b/c he knows where his bread is buttered. ;)

Now at 2pm I have to take one of the dogs to the vet b/c they are both coughing and congested and need some medicine. They said just to bring one and they'd give meds for two.

I need to mow the grass but it is still crunchy. We need some rain badly. Other than that, I need desperately to work out, I still haven't. The eating is shameful as usual. I also need to get ready for my interview tomorrow.

Francie: Yeah, I get paranoid from time to time. I used to be really bad about it. That's the main reason I used to stay away from scary movies. :eek: The cat woke me up the other night breaking into a new bag of cat food. Freaked me out till I figured out what is was.

hope-thanks sometimes I dont do well staying sane. Today I got to a point I just wanted to sit and cry and it was still early in the day.

I folded some clothes but i still have some more to fold and some winter stranglers that need put in there totes. Like when the kids lay down from their nap i really want to just lay and relax and read a book if i am a little tired dose off for a lil bit but then I feel bad because i have house things to do. When i have quiet time I really dont want to be working I would like to relax and get a break in the middle of the day. Usually the laying and reading wins out unless the house is really bad and i cant. My meds. help soooo much in this because I remember mornings of I would get up with them get their brkfst change diaper then lay on the couch till i had to help one of them or something and then get lunch and then all take naps...I dont feel that way anymore thank goodness. but I still have the middle of the day i wanna rest. My husband said last night bout he didnt wanna hear comments about me sleeping till 9am and still being tired because he gets up at like 5. we get about the same amount of sleep because i go to bed later than him. but oh well....i am gonna go read...ttyl..
hope you guys have a better monday than I am having!!!

Morning :)

I feel like poo today. I think I came down with something this weekend - my throat hurts, I feel too warm, and my muscles are weakie. Ugh. I better get well soon - every day of sick leave I take is one less day of comp time I get paid for when I leave this job. And given that I'll have about a month and a half with no income, eek.

Francie - I used to think I got paranoid, but in the end it turned out people really were out to get me (work stuff - nasty political crap), so I don't know if that means I was really paranoid or not. :lol: I know, thats not really the type of thing you meant, but it came to mind :hug: I do often get freaked out by noises at night - but what woman who lives alone wouldn't from time to time! Good for you cleaning this morning - puttin that extra time to good use!

Hope - :hug: Sounds like you had fun at the martial arts match! Except the sliced eyebrow part. :barf: Good luck with your interview! Don't get down about the change in job forecast - it sounded like your last job sucked so bad that any job would be better. I've had friends that really enjoyed working at HD - the pay isn't over the moon or anything, but they seemed to really enjoy their work life and coworkers. For me, thats worth a lot. Oh, and just think of the cals you can burn walking the store!

Heather - Hi, I think I joined you at the stupid-food eating party this weekend. I had such good plans, and yet made such stupid choices.

Momof4 - :hug: you have such a full plate! Its lovely that you want to give your hubby down-time when he's not at work, but remember - you need and deserve it too! I figure, you both work all day, so sharing tasks when he gets home seems fair. Its not like you spend the day on the sofa eating bon bons and watching soap operas! Maybe you and hubby can work out a schedule where you can establish certain evenings when one of you gets "down-time" while the other manages the house and kids. The other days you can share the house managing after work. I've found in my battle with depression I have to sometimes treat it like an injury so that I can explain my limitations and establish what "physical therapy" I need to keep it from getting worse. :hug: Keep your chin up sweetie! For what its worth I think you're doin great.

Leenie - :yes: This site is therapy for me, too! Now don't y'all go sending me a bill. :p It keeps me grounded to connect with all you incredible ladies who struggle with similar and different issues as me. And it reminds me that we're all part of a bigger whole, and can give a hand when one is needed, and get one in our own turn.

Sassy - glad to hear you are feeling better! See you again soon!

Well, I gotta go find something to eat. I haven't felt much like eating today (for a change), but I'm starting to feel a bit woozy, so I better buck up and find something healthy.:carrot:

:grouphug: everyone!

Ok, that is too wierd - one of my pups is sick, too! Her breathing sounds aweful, like she's snoring all the time! And her wittle nose is warm :( Poor baby.

Anywho, hope your pups get well soon!

Okay..I'm sensing a trend with the cats, lol. The other night..my cats ran into the room and started jumping on this bag that was on the floor. And I swear to God, I thought it was some man in the room. It scared the crap out of me!!!!! Freakin cats need to calm down!!! Oh ya..I'm even paranoid when dh is home too. I get used to being alone so much, I sometimes forget that he's there too. LOL!!! Omg..this one time though. He came home from a workup, and since he came home early in the morning, I was still asleep. So he just crawled into bed and went to sleep too. Well..when I tried to roll over onto his side, I ended up rolling into a body, and that scared the crap out of me. I screamed and fell out of bed..and he jumped up and was like..wtf is going on? And I yelled at him to wake me up the next time he comes home early in the morning. LOL!!

shop-that is way too funny!!!!My dh has done stuff like that to me but purposly scares me...LOL

Just finished making dinner and thought I would take a quick break I really want to go for a walk cause its nice and cool after the rain. I gotta finish cleaning up the table....I had a lot of calories left but I didnt count what I had for dinner so I am hoping I didnt go over...Cause I have done great on them today...I am gonna go fold some more clothes her too...You guys have a good time
I hope everyones animals get better!!

sassy-hope your having a good night....I hope work is going better for you and you dont have to listen to those little girls running their mouth!!! I was just thinking about you so I thought I would leave you a little note.
To the rest you all have a good night hope things go well..

Hi everyone!

Busy weekend here. The grad was so nice, long tho. We came back to our place for a ham dinner. Then DdB went to her dry grad at the school from 11pm - 7am. I asked if they had enough volunteers and ended up walking around as "security" till we left at 5:30am. She had a ball, so that was the main thing and I got to know a couple of bored security guards who were hired to watch the one area. Then around noon, hubby, DdA and I met my father and step mother in town and we went to the antique car show and shine. It was pouring rain at first, but cleared up. Then Dad took us out for an early dinner. The other two girls opted to stay home as they were tired and had homework and studying to do. So all in all a very nice weekend and visit. Today on the other hand.....well. I stopped taking my paxil two, three weeks ago and have started "feeling" again. Even had real dreams not the few weird wacked out ones I would get on occasion. Unfortunately the anxiety has returned. I had a dentist appt made for next week, well they called as they had a cancellation. So that really threw me off as it was a new dentist, but it went really well and I really like them. But after I left my moms house I could hear some rubbing in the one tire. And oh, did it sound awful. Then I picked up DdA from work and it quit. Then when leaving the school after getting the other girls it started again and I went off the deep end. Hubby left town yesterday and won't be home until late Wed and DdA has her driving test Wed. Anyway I took it to a garage and he said it could be I rock like I suspected, but it looks like maybe my routers need changing. So I'm hoping thats all it is. Actually writing this all down like this sure does help. DdC has one test tomorrow morning, but at least the school bus is still running. We didn't go to judo tonight as I was beside myself. DdA was very helpful as she helped explain things better than I could to the mechanic. I guess I should make an appt with my doc to see about some other anti anxiety meds as I really need something and since I've done so well getting off of the paxil I don't really want to start up again.

Momof4, :hug:just take things one day at a time. You are out numbered and at that age all of you children need so much care. Honestly it should get easier, unless you have them in all sorts of clubs and sports and then you'll go crazy trying to keep up with the schedules. You are doing great. One thing my mil told me to do that really helped her was to put a blanket down on the living room floor and some pillows and then you can all "nap" together. She did that as she had four kids under six and she had to do that. I would put a blanket down and lots of pillows and we would put a movie in and just have quiet time and it sure saved my sanity. I was an only child until I was 15 with a divorced mother so I had no idea how to do this "family" thing. Thank goodness my hubby just says our place is very lived in lol!

France I was the same way with being jumpy and paranoid. if it got to late I couldn't shower, I hated putting my face under the water. Getting the dog sure helped plus now I have something to blame weird noises on!

Hope and Amarie I hope you pups are alright. Sometimes it would help if they could tell us whats wrong. Our Maxie has been snoring a lot lately as well and he has a runny nose off and on. I just figure he caught a spring cold. I was concerned as I found a lump behind his front leg, but it didn't bother him. My sister who has an older dog and use to work at a vet's office figures it just a ....um, I forgot, but it comes with old age and isn't harmful. Her dog has quite a few of them.

Hey Heather, Sassy and Leenie good to see you. And leenie as you can tell this place is my therapy as well! Amazing how writing things out and admitting things to people who understand helps so much. Even if no one really reads the rambling it helps to get it out there.

Well I should go, I had to be up at 5 this morning to take DdA to work and because of going to town and going nuts I have dishes and laundry to finish up!

Take care everyone!:grouphug:
K

Buddly, writing everything out really helps me too. I just want to thank you ladies for listening and caring. I don't know what I would have done this past year without you all. This has been great therapy. :hug:

:grouphug:

I just realized as I was about to go to sleep that this thread and y'all are just about the first thing I think of when I turn on my 'puter in the am, and often the last thing I want to check in on before I go to sleep. So thank you everyone! There is such comfort in belonging among such beautiful souls! Best therapy ever. :grouphug:

Buddly~Omg..I do the exact same way. I will only shower at night if dh is home. And I have to call out for him when I'm done to make sure he's still here, lol. When I'm alone, I dont shower at night. Like today, I was so caught up in my book that I forgot to shower. So I put the book down at 6, and took a quick shower before it got too late, lol. The light was still out, so it was safe, LOL!!! During deployment last year, I wouldnt go to bed until the sun came up, lol. Now I just sleep to pass the time, lol.

Anyways..dh is in SD, and I miss him so much. He'll be home in 2 weeks. 2 freakin long a$$ weeks!!! Its just dragging right now. Anyways..gonna go read. Nighty nite

Awww, I am SO feeling the love in this forum! :lol3: Okay, I'm laughing, but it's true, isn't it? Even when people like me skulk away and hide, the strength of this forum as a whole pulls us back.

Love you girls!

Heather :D

Good morning Girlies!!
Yep a regular love fest going on here! But it sure is great to have a safe place to come to. I've been "flamed" before in another forum and its rather upsetting.

Francie its nice to know I'm not the only one. I use to have to stay up all night as well. Actually I would turn out the light at 4am as I knew my neighbour would be getting up around 4:30. His wife use to laugh that I would just get my light turned off and Garfield would turn his on. As I said the dog has been a huge help. He lies at the bathroom door when I'm in there and once when my bil was visiting he came around the corner to go to the bathroom and Max raised such a ruckus and scared the heck out of him. So I feel a lot safer.(even if the dog is a wimp at other times and looks at me to check out odd noises;))

Anyway I'm not sure how today is going to play out. I got DdC off to school for her test and I'm suppose to be getting my van down to the shop. I called my gf and she said she would pick me up. Thankfully she took the day off of work to hound her son into studying. He bought new things for his drum kit so she knows he won't study if left to his own.

Well I should go and do those dishes I ignored yesterday, it just never quits!

Take care everyone and have a great day,
K

Hola
 

Today has been ok. I did not feel snappy or stressed I think due to extra sleep last night. Everyone had went to bed at 9:30 well normally I stay up until lik 12, 1 or 2. Well my nate wanted to sleep with me so I cuddled with him at like 10 and I read toll like 11. Everyone seemed to sleep till like 9:30 so I got tons more sleep than normally. Actually it was nap time and I was reading my book and not even tired at all. So I think getting sleep is an important key to keeping the stress lowered. I went grocery shopping which my two year old threw her shoe out of the little car part she was riding in. Some older gentleman was asking around if any of the kids lost their shoe..Yeah it was her..lol...
I also check this when I get on the puter in the morning and before I go to bed and throughout the day....LOL I enjoy the interaction between others. Being a sahm I dont get much contact...lol...so you guys are it for me!!! HAHA...ok well need to get started on supper dh will be home soon and we have prayer meeting at church tonight so not much time for lolly-gaggin (if thats even a word..HAHA)
Ttyl ladies!!!

Hmmmm... a little quiet in here today.

Today was a long day for me. I had my interview at HD and to my surprise it was kinda grueling. I had an easier time getting the job when I was trying to plan people's financial futures. What the...??? I mean, it is retail, not national security. I had already taken a personality test when I applied. What happened to the good ol days when you just strolled into a place such as that and if you were walking upright and weren't foaming at the mouth you got the job. :dunno:

I also took my resume downtown to an advertising agency to see if they had any use for me. ;) We'll see.

I am so used to being in jeans and no makeup that dressing up today about killed me. I may have a blister from my high heels (which weren't very high at all) and I hate wearing dress clothes at this weight. It's too hard to hide the rolls, especially in the summer.

I did more running around in between and after. I began to wonder if maybe I wasn't getting hired b/c I was fat? I'm not putting myself down, I'm just wondering if it is a factor. I'll never know for sure b/c obviously nobody would admit that for fear of being sued.

I guess I've rambled long enough.
Talk to y'all tomorrow.

Buddly~I think I would feel safer with a dog. But we just cant have one in the apartment we live in. Maybe after we move. We could get a small dog, like a corgi. Then when we get a house with a yard, I'd like to get a great dane. You know though..I actually feel better at night with noise. Like right now, the tv is on and I'm not even watching it. But its nice to have noise in the background. When I go to bed, I have to sleep with the tv on for the noise. Its weird, lol.


My day was pretty good. I walked to the NEX, but they didnt have anything that I needed to buy. So I just made up for it by buying a bunch of stuff I didnt need. LoL!! I'm gonna go to the NEX again tomorrow, cuz I need cat food. The cat's food is almost gone and I didnt realize it until today, lol.

Anyways..I just got off the phone with Fonzo. And I just have the best hubby ever. I'm such a freak, I have no idea why he puts up with me. I have some of the weirdest moments ever and he just goes with it, lol. Why oh why would someone like him wanna be with someone like me? I still cannot figure it out. He's beautiful and I'm crazy. Ha, we're crazy/beautiful, lol. I just cant wait until he's home for good. I need to be held so badly!!!

Well..I'm gonna go read my book now. Nighty nite all!!

Good Morning :wave:

Just popping in to say HELLO HELLO HELLLLLLLOOOOOO!!!

Good to see everyone so chatty *giggle* and Heather, I'm glad we can pull you back ;)

later taters ;)

Hey Girls

Well I am just totally zoned out I need to go for an assessment because they have a program were u can get an evaluation and meds for free. I just can't bring myself to do it.

Shopaholic I was paranoid like u to don't know how I broke out it, it was to the point when I came home at night and rooomy was gone I would check every closet with knife in hand.

I guess working from home has made me better

Momo4 got to commend you I can't do your job.

Morning chicks!

I've STILL been eating crap and not really exercising... but at least I'm posting, so baby steps right?... RIGHT?! :lol3:

Francie - I spend a lot of time wondering why ANYONE would want to know me... sad that we are so quick to put ourselves down instead of seeing ourselves as wonderful, valuable beings. I HATE depression - it is an evil and self-defeating disease! :nono:

Hope - I hear ya, chick; I interviewed at Chapters (with a manager less than half my age!) and felt like wtf? It's a BOOKSTORE, not the CIA! Crazy, some of these retail places - good luck with the advertising agency!!

Sugarmama - drag yourself out, girl... you know you'll feel better, so just force yourself. I know it's hard, and we're here for you. :hug:

Leenie - love you too, hon! :hug: :hug:

Mom, Sassy-girl, Buddly - how you chicks doing today??

Chat soon -
Heather :D

Hello All,

Well this morning was not a quiet morning at work and that is all I will say......

Have a Great Day!

morning/afternoon girlies!! Yeah this day is just going on its own with out me..LOL..I am exhausted because for some reason my 2 year old would wake up crying every few minutes after I put her to bed then my baby kept fussin too. Well my two year old ended up getting up so I left her lay and watch a movie with me well I am falling asleep and shes playing with her babies feeding them. I am like ok your going to bed. So she takes the baby up and puts the baby in the bed on the pillow and walks toward the door and goes night baby loves you...I am like OHHH NOOO ur going to bed so then she cried and cried and so i was like i will lay with her so she dont wake up my dh. I lay there this is like 1am and she lays there playing like not even a bit tired...UGGHHH so finally she fell asleep but then it seemed like I got to sleep and the baby woke up then i got her settled and my husband woke up...then back to sleep and here comes my 3 yr old I lay with you mommy...UGGGHHH AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL night of sleep which makes me snappy and on edge and all I wanna do is just lay around and do NOTHING. I havent even ate yet this morning....Like I feel like i did before i was on meds...hate it. Then I had a girl from our youth staying and she has been in trouble but as a foster parent i can handle it well i gave her the benefit of the doubt. Here i went to put on my makeup last night and yeah a bunch was missing so i was like i am going thru her bag....it was all in there then there was a sparkle spray in the bottom of her bag she had take from my room ON THE THIRD FLOOR. I was sick to my stomach. She helps a lot around here and is super helper but you cant trust her. So i told her mom she needed to go home until i get the alarms set up in the new house. I will have all my stuff in my room with an alarm on the steps. I need it to make sure my munchkins dont go in my room anyways. Then I just got off the phone with this annoying guy flippin out he wants a meeting with my pastor and my husband or hes taking our church to the media...all because some lady thats not even a memeber in our church told him he was gonna break someones heart so he broke up with his girlfriend...Why is their cray people?? He was yelling at me then called back and was like sorry i shouldnt have yelled at you...his son is 19 and hes still being the protective parent and the sons got issues he needs to work out so it all clashes and as the youth pastor they asked my husband for help and he was just honest with them....oh well...i am gonna have lunch and NAPPPPP TIME MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE DAYYYY...my 11month old is standing here making flubbers on my knees between crying cause she wants to go outside with her siblings...LOL...yes the one in my picture...shes beautiful and such a character..i tell her say momma and she says papa(dh) and smiles i am like you lil snot....
hope i hope people arent shallow enough to not hire u for that...
ok kids are coming in...ttyl....yep i am smiling!!! because nap time is soon!!! hehehe

wow that was long i am sorry!!!!!

Hiya girls!

Well, I ended up being late for a meeting off-site today because I could have sworn it was Tuesday when I drove to work. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be Wednesday. ;)

I'm in a bit of a conundrum - I need to eat something, I only have tuna and protein shakes in my desk (neither one sounds good), and I don't have any $$ to go out to lunch. What to do? What to do? Fooey. If I out off making a decision much longer my bloodsugar is gonna tank and I'll be done for the day. :(

Yesterday, I made really stupid food choices. I ate ice cream (a fair amount of it too) and I don't even like ice cream. Add that to my grilled cheddar smoked sausages, the HUGE pita sandwich I had for lunch, and I may not need to eat today after all. Only, it doesn't work that way...

On the plus side - I went to my new yoga class last night, and it whipped my butt!! Lots of standing poses, and some rather fast pose progressions. If left to my druthers I'd just do a lot of long-holds and seated or inverted poses, so the emphasis on the balancing poses and progressions was nice and challenging!

Francie - I guess I'm still a little paranoid. My replacement windows were just installed and I'm having the dangdest time sleeping because they make my bedroom SOOOO much quieter. Haha, last night I opened them a bit just so I could sleep.

Momof4 - :hug: don't be sorry - I enjoy reading your posts. I think the alarms on your steps are a great idea - especially with all you curious little kiddos! Sorry about the confrontational dude on the phone. That kind of thing really gets to me.

Sugar - :hug: Make the appointment for the eval. I had a similar thing a while ago - I just kept putting off going to the doc (it was paid for) because some part of me didn't want to admit I'd let things get to the state they were in. Its like I wanted to fix it before going in. Funny thing is, though... I was in the condition I was in whether I heard it officially or not, and going to the doc really helped me realize that it wasn't that big a deal - I could change it, but only if I accepted it for what it was. :lol: on the checking the closets with a knife!!! One night I was so scared I checked under the sink, too!!

Hope - places like HD that get a lot of turnover are becoming more and more careful in their hiring. It just costs so much to get someone trained, they want to make sure that they have a shot at keeping the new employee long enough to make it worth it. I think you're biggest challenge is going to be seeming over-qualified ('cause you are). You can only hope to nip that in the bud, and somehow make them think that you realized that retail was the career that was going to challenge and fulfill you. Strong acting skills can be a plus! :hug: Let us know when you hear back!

Sassy, Leenie, Heather, Raven, Buddly, et al :grouphug:

Had an ok night....getting better since everyone is sleeping. was so mad a my dh that i coulda threw something at him....but we wont go there!!!! I am doing ok now everyone is in bed except my 2 yr old night owl..she keeps getting on and off my lap. She is playing with the sit and spin..anyone remember those?? I was so sheltered and remember living on that thing when I was little I played for hours on mine when I was little!!!

MeA-awwwww u poor thing that sucks about your lunch..I would throw you a some money but Im afraid all i could throw you is some quarters to make a wish...atleast till friday...lol I hate money!! lol which is good right Well anyways hopefully you had a good rest of the day!!

Sassy- Come on tell me it was not a good morning at work cause you punched someone right in the face...LOL...Or you coulda just mooned them...that woulda really got them talking!!! HAHA no I am j/k I am sorry you had a rough nite at work hopefully thats the rough night for the week

Heather- I sure sure hope your not eating crap...How many calories does crap have in it...does it help you lose weight more....NO NO i am soo messing..lol...i have not been doing good eating and couldnt figure out why but i just got my period so I am assuming that would be the reason for the night munchies!! SO hopefully you stop eating crap and eat some real food!!!!

sugamomma-yeah you seemed a little zoned out like you were just having and off day or something...hopefully you can get some help or do what you need to so you can get meds!!!

Ok well I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL HUMP DAY!!!!!
ttyl

:lol: @ mom!! You made me laugh - thanks, I needed that! :lol3:

I ate pretty well today - a bit too much frozen yogurt after dinner - like a cup extra! :o - but that's SOOOO much better than I have been eating, that I'm not going to beat myself up about it.

I just read a 'signature' on here that has really motivated me - thanks! "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." That is SO ME right now!!

Okay... night all - chat tomorrow :)
Heather :D

Oh - and confession - my ticker's totally wrong. I'm gearing up the guts to change it. :o

Good evening folks,

Heather, my ticker is wrong too. I'm not exactly sure about how much, but yesterday I stopped by a WW meeting for the first time in about 2 months and I was only up 8 lbs there. I expected around 16 lbs. :fr: I've meant to weigh myself at home but it has been such a low priority that I've been forgetting to get on the scale when I wake up.

I got a call back from HD already for a second interview on Friday with the store manager. Since the first one was so rigorous, I'm expecting the Spanish Inquisition at this one. :lol: I also got a reply today from a job I posted for from Anthem! WTH! Nothing, nothing, nothing for months and I'm maybe finally getting a retail type job and then jobs I may actually want or that may be in my field start calling.

I just knew if I did like Amarie said and used my acting skills convincing some poor sap that HD was my dream job come true that somebody else would actually want me. Whatever.

Well, I've got to go to bed before I fall asleep.

Oh, by the way, sit and spins ROCK! :spin:

Hola
 

Hi ladies.

I'm just poppin in before bed to say hey.

I did a little more work in my second room tonight, but after it was all said and done it just looked like I'd moved the piles from one side of the room to the other. Sigh.

Feeling a bit sad and lonely tonight. Might be tom, or might be something more. Not sure yet. Guess I'll see how long it lasts.

:grouphug: everyone. Pleasant dreams.

Good morning, chickadees! :wave:

I am feeling totally back on track and NOT being run over! Things are starting to feel a bit more like 'real life' again, and a bit less like I am living in some bad B-movie, so this can only be good! Going to stock up on healthy foods today, having eaten all the crap - and it WON'T be being replaced! - make time for some friends I've been ignoring and generally start making an effort to look after myself. :yes:

Sassy - damn straight! Don't even give work a thought! Uh-oh... did you just think about it 'cause I said that?! STOP THAT! :lol3:

Hope - good luck with The Inquisition... but I'll admit to keeping my fingers crossed that something more suited to making you happy comes along. ;) Love you! :hug: Oh - I am up 8lbs too... bizarre. How are the pets?

Amarie - I love your avatar at the moment - great fun! Arrrrr... I love's me pirates!

Leenie, Raven, Buddly, Mom... who'd I miss? Where ya at this morning? Not like ME to be the first poster of the day!!

Cathy - haven't seen you in a while - you doing good? Hopefully just too busy to post! :hug:

I couldn't manage the struggle every day without my chicks... and every day that I post here is a little less of a struggle. :D

Hope everyone is making good choices... and remember, every day above ground is a GOOD DAY!!! :yes:

Hi all!

Thanks Sassy! I absolutely love the tigger hug!

Heather - yah, I'm feelin' the pirate vibe right now...Arrr. :D Congrats on your awesome state of mind today - no more B movie!!!

momof4 - :hug: sorry, no takies. I'm sure your kids are absolutely adorable, but I've got enough chaos ;)

Have a super day everyone! I woke up a little more centered, still kinda sad, but the peaceful kinda sad. I need to get some stuff under control. Heather, I'll be right there with you today stocking up my kitchen with healthy staples, and clearing out any remaining crap-food.

:hug: See ya laters!

I just took and online test for the Anthem job. I know I messed up at least 3 times. My typing isn't quite fast enough and I know I answered a couple of other things wrong but I couldn't go back and change it. Oh well, we'll see if it was good enough. Being that TOM is here I sometimes have trouble focusing. It's bad enough he gives me cramps, why does he have to make me scatter-brained too? :dizzy:

I think I'm going to go and mow the back yard so the pups won't feel like they are in the jungle back there. They are doing fine by the way. I'm giving them meds morning and night for their coughs. At first, Miko didn't want anything to do with the pink liquid until Nori started licking the dropper like it was candy and then she figured she must be missing out on a treat and joined in. They must be blood relatives of mine somewhere down the line. ;)

Check in later!

Hi everyone!

Hope you are having a great Thursday. It feels like Friday tho. Could be because neither of the girls has a test tomorrow. Actually DdC has one left on Monday and then we are done for this year. DdA has to be at work tomorrow for 6am, but she got her two week paycheque and was very happy so is thinking the sore feet might be worth it.
It was below freezing when we got up at 4:30 this am, when hubby went to drive DdA to work he had to scrape the windshield!?! Can you believe that?? I was feeling bad that I hadn't gotten the garden it, but its probably a good thing as the sprouts would have been shivering! And then to top it off this afternoon I'm having to turn the A/C on in the van because its to darn hot. Its just crazy or just Canada, who knows one in the same if you ask me.
DdC and I went to town today as she needed her glasses adjusted, then we met up with my mom and sister and ended up at a Japanese restaurant. It was very tasty.
Hubby is gone for a couple of days for work, well that was the plan when he left this morning. So just the girls and I again.

Whoops better get going.
Take care everyone,
K
