Good morning ladies

Just popping in to say hi and to thank you all for the encouragement.

Good luck today Sassy

Heather you sound so positive Congrats on the running!! And the temp job. Like I told my daughter, this may not be your dream job, but being out there gets you contacts and can lead to bigger and better!

Momof4 wow that tooth sounds awful and painful. I hope you got some antibiotics for it.

Raven that is wonderful news about your hubby, I'm so happy for you. Make sure you rest that ankle and ice it often. They take forever to heal, if ever. DdC sprained hers a few years ago at a tournament and it still isn't right.

Hope everyone else is doing great

Anyway I'm feeling so out of sorts for some reason. Figure if I kept busy today and get something done then maybe I can start to feel better as I sure hate feeling the way I do. I did go for a 30 min walk with the dog and then another 30 on the treadmill last night, so I'm pleased with that. I better get going and do something.

Take care everyone and have a wonderful day,
K

Just stopping in to see how everyones doing....ok day...my son has got in trouble ALL stinking day.

I woke up great....all the kids seemed to be in my bed well they were awake and kicking each other. I was a awake just laying there waiting to get energy to get up all the sudden i hear a thump and a scream here ethan and kira started wrestling and she went off the edge of the bed. I had my back to them so i flipped. She has a big knot on her forhead.

Ethan asked to go outside I said yes just dont touch the pool...i look out and he has his sword in it and playing with the water...
Then ethan was throwing the ball in the house i told him to stop and like not more than a minute later he throws it and almost hits a picture on the wall..
Then we go to the store and he is whinning crying the WHOLE flipping way thru it cause he wants a toy...like not a screaming...my sis was with us and she couldnt hear him..thats usually how she finds me in the store just listens for the kids...lol...j/k....So i didnt buy him a toy and he didnt get a candy bar when the other two did and yeah he got in big trouble when we got home!!!

I am telling you..it makes a long day on me. My 2 year old is sooo strong headed and you can tell her to do something and she just stands there and talks back and wont move...UGGGHHH....

Then its maddies 1st bday today...her party is saturday...I lay her down for a nap and hear her up there I went up to get something outta the bathroom and here she had pooped and took her diaper off and it was ALLLL over and pee ALL OVER....ughh...

My day isnt even thru!! I still have church and hyper teens to deal with and then have to have a meeting with this lady that is causing issues...me and the other pastors wife!! I just want to drop everyone off at church and just drive until I find a place I want to stop...maybe amish country!!

well thanks for listening wasnt really going to post but i decided to anyways!!

Hi ladies!

Thanks for the birthday wishes - it was a nice day - very full and a little hectic at times, but fun. It was a little sad that it is the last b-day I'll celebrate here - next year I'll be in Oregon. Hmmm.... maybe I'll go to the beach that day.

Sounds like several of us are a bit out of sorts. I just seem to go day by day - yesterday was lovely, but when I woke up this am I was just off, you know? And I've been on edge ever since. Sigh. Oh well, 50-50 chance tomorrow will be better, I guess.

I have to get back to painting tonight, although I want to make sure I fit my walk/run in. I'm to the cutting-in and trim stage of the painting, and it is not that much fun and soooo easy to mess up. And then tomorrow night I'm going to go shopping with a friend, for stuff I don't need and can't afford - but really its more about the hanging with friends part.

Anyway all!

Hi everybody,

It feels like it has been a long day. I got off at 7 tonight and I'm kinda tired and kinda wide awake. I had a strange conversation with the girl/department head that has been training me. I left not really knowing what the heck it was really about. She asked me if I was having any problem with anybody and saying that she didn't want me to get caught up in the negativity that exists within our group.

I know that she is not well liked, I've already picked up on that, but I don't have a problem with her, nor do I want one. I can respect the fact that others may not like her and may have good reasons, but I choose to form my own opinion. I thought at first she was saying that some people had negative things to say about me, but I left thinking that she was just afraid I'd join the 'hate the department head' bandwagon.

I like to think I can comprehend plain english, but everything was so vague I came away not really knowing what we were talking about. That doesn't make any sense I know so I won't bore you with it anymore. Has that ever happened to any of you before?

I'm off tomorrow I'll spend most all of the day cleaning for dh's parents who are spending the night as they pass through on Saturday. The yard looks like a jungle but df said he would mow it. Yah. I told him I'd be happy to quit my job and take care of it for him but he didn't go for it.

Well this has been long and boring so I'll just stop.

Hugs to everybody

TTYT

Was feeling pretty good but after I got downstairs I was gonna get a jump start and do everything that needed done first thing and then relax but i am really dizzy...i thought i would sit here and let it go away but its not...thats really weird...so ill write more lata!!

Good morning everyone!

Sassy so glad that your day went well. It sounds like you got some nice visits in.

momof4 hope you feel better. Sounds like your son was having one of those days!! Thank goodness you both survived! Hope today is better.

Hope I understand the not getting the plain english thing, so annoying. And I agree that its best to stay out of the "office politics" my mom always takes the "I don't have a side" route! Sure helps let you do your job and not get caught up in all the broohaha's. Enjoy your day off.

to everyone else!

Well I'm feeling a little better today. I managed to get the kitchen floor washed and the backyard's clover cut yesterday. Hopefully the rain holds off and I can get the front yard cut today. I won't be home much tomorrow as DdC is going to meet a friend at the movies and DdA is working. So I can do some errands in town. Didn't go on the treadmill last night, but I counted my time walking back and forth in the back yard. DdC was checking up on me and asked me why I didn't go and "run" Its good to know I have someone close at hand to be accountable to. (she did her weights and push ups)

Well I'm off.
Have a great day ladies!
Take care

I am agggravated....for our church the youth was in charge of the games and a dunking booth for a block party we are doing. Well last friday they asked me how it was going and I asked the one lady if we could rent a dunk booth instead of building one and she said yeah...so I spent and hour today looking for one when I found one and called one of the ladies she is like oh so n so already put money down on one...THEY DIDNT EVEN TELL ME...like dont ask me to do something then go ahead and do it..I spent time wasted that i didnt really have...ERRRR....from now on I just say no we are not able to do it.....that irks me..she felt bad but it still makes me want to scream...AAHHHHHHH ok well I am going to lay down since i put them to bed earlier cause i wasnt feeling great!! ok lata

.

Hi all!

Mof4 - whoa, that would be aggravating! pthththt! Love your avatar btw - your eyes look VERY mysterious!

Hope - oh yay! Even retail has employee politics! What fun! Sorry - sarcasm here... I wish people would just grow up some times. Good on you just wanting to make your own impressions.

Sassy -

Buddly -

Spoz - good to see you!

OK, not much doin here. Had a really bad night last night - minor panic attack, ate WAY too much, didn't get anything accomplished, etc. Well, so I had my pity party, now I'm over it (I hope) today I get to clean up the pity-party mess.

I hate pity party messes! Fortunately, I'm just trying to clean up our regular 'ol mess here. I've washed 2 sets of sheets so far and have got to get them back on the beds as I finish the other loads of clothes. I've taken out a london broil to marinate for dinner tonight and I just finished mowing the yard. Yeah, I know dh was supposed to do it but he is still at work and I rather just sit down with him when he gets home and have dinner than have him outside mowing for 2 hrs. He better appreciate it though.

The only problem now is my lower back is hurting a little after mowing, probably because TOM showed up today as well and I still need to vacuum. That usually hurts my back more than mowing for some reason. The dogs still need a bath and I still have to dust and do the bathrooms......OK, now I'm stressing myself out. Gonna stop...

Sassy, glad it all is over and went well. Sounds like you and dh need some sleep now.


Gonna go and do a little more before df gets home.

hope-your list is stressing me out just reading it....hope you got everything accomplished...more power to you!! I did that too my dh was to be doing the mowing but I would rather just spend time with him than have him out mowing and stuff...know what your saying there!!


MeA-hey thanks...My eyes were blue but they are looking green lately...what color do you think they are??


Well I did it I chopped my hair off....a little ok a LOT of frustration with they lady. First I said I wanted it cut cut and she says ok and then was like if i take 5 inches off it will be to the middle of the back ....i was like no i want it so I can just barely get it in a pony tail..short....she said something else I was like do i have enough to donate it and she was like it will be to your shoulders i was like yeah that is what i want. The ONLY thing I requested was that my bangs be like angled..she called them sloped...well when she did them she even said sloped they did not get sloped when you pull them all over to the front they are almost exactly the same length...so that made me mad. Then when she cut it I said shouldnt I have layers in it so its not so poofy and she was like no that will make it look big...well if I leave it down curly I look like a FREAKING POODLE...I was so irritated. Like when I walked outta there my hair looked like CRAP...she sprayed something on it and blow dried it and like it was frizzy and UGLY...If i was a confrontational person i woulda went back in but I am not....So i am debating on getting someone to fix it..I should call their store up here and ask if i can come in for them to fix it...err...I am glad I got it cut but irritated because she didnt do what i asked and didnt care if it looked good or not!!

Ok well anyways thats about it so I am gonna go dh will be home soon and he doesnt know i cut it so yeah...hopefully he doesnt freak too bad cause he really didnt want me to cut it...but hey I am the one that has to deal with it, brush it wash it, break hair ties everyday....NOT HIM...ok lata

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is OK. I'm feeling quite relaxed and happy, school breaks up today for the summer so I'll have my son at home for the next 6 weeks, I'm really looking forward to it, I love the summer holidays! The battle with the MIL has already started though, she's booked a holiday to take him away without asking me first, as usual... and it's the same week I had plans for. I know she's only being a loving grandma but it would be nice if she would kinda acknowledge me as the mother a little bit more!

buddly, glad you're feeling better!

Sassy, I'm happy for you that you got through the day OK in the end

momof4, I HATE it when they don't bother to listen and just cut your hair however they feel like... it makes me so mad. I always pay up and then go home and rant and rage Last time though I was so angry I made the hairdresser redo it, then in revenge for me making her redo it she burned me several times with the straighteners Ah well, at least it grows back.

Hugs to Hope, Amarie, Leenie, Spoz, Cathy, Heather, Raven and all of you

momof4, just wanted to add, I think you should go back in and let them know you're not happy, after all, it's good for their business that you should be satisfied with your hair cut, any professional would want to redo it so it looks as you requested... you can be polite and just let them know you're upset about it. You don't have to get all confrontational and rant and sulk like I did, then they won't burn you (Actually, the best redo I ever got was when I told my hairdresser I was unhappy with the way she had done my hair and that I had wanted it cut especially for a wedding I was going to, I got the impression she wanted to do a good job because she realised loads of people would all see my hair and might ask where I had it done!)

Hi all - just a quick hello - I am emotionally all over the map again... just when I think I am doing okay - well, it's a kind of three leaps forward, two steps back...

Of course, my Auntie Flo is due to arrive Sunday or Monday, so I bet I feel better next week!

Take care all -
Heather

Hi all -

Well, I'm another who's all over the emotional map. Just talked to my doc yesterday about the stresses and stuff I'm dealing with and she wants me to try upping my prozac dose for a while to see if it helps. I think I'm gonna give it a go - I need all the help I can get right now. I ended up crying in the middle of the day and had to go home early because someone was giving me advice on my move, and it just sortof made me snap - I could hardly breathe. Yah, that's not exactly my idea of a normal reaction... So anyway, will see what the upped pzac dosage can do.

Also, I REALLY need to put myself back on a shoestring budget. Shopping is one of my old-time coping mechanisms, so unfortunately my cc has been getting more wormouts than I have Ah well... back in the freezer goes my cc!

I better run - sorry I'm not up for personals today. Great big to everyone!!
