Weekly Chat - July 21st - 27th
 

Good Morning :hug:

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Boy is it every hot outside...but really thats not a complaint. I'd rather it be hot then cold, snowy or rainy :D

Keep cool everyone and have a fantastic week.

Leenie

HI everyone! Happy Monday!

Remember how last week I said I was going to restart my running? Well... I did it today. Better late than never I guess. With this heat its really hard to figure out a good time to run - I either have to run first thing in the am, or after 9:00 at night. So I went with am this am. No idea how far I went, but I outran my dog - she is at home plastered on the tile right now :lol:

Had a super busy weekend - more painting, caulking, and light construction :p Golly I wish I could get done with all these projects!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! :grouphug:

Hey Everyone,

I'm new here, added my profile yesterday night and last week's post, so I thought I'd add a post here too. Starting therapy (hopefully) soon and just looking for support from people who are there or have been there.

I hope everyone's week is starting out great! Mine has because I have the day off and I've already gotten my workout in and it's not even 11am. Now to find a therapist...

Keep cool!

B.

:welcome: Bella!

Just wanted to say a quick hi and :hug:. I am in therapy - started about 3 months or so ago, and it has really helped me. I hope you find a fabulous therapist!

I think whenever I get to the week before TOM comes I always forget my pills because it seems like that is always when it happens!! I am completely depressed, annoyed, aggitated...whatever words you want to use. I missed like pills sat and i am thinking it is affecting me because i am all over the board. I went upstairs to change earlier and saw my book and was like i will just lay here and read a book for a little bit. I probably was there a half hour maybe less maybe more..but i came down and dh jumped all over me and was like where were you...thinking he was kidding i just turned around and smiled...but hes like we were downstairs blah blah blah i just went to the boys room and started cleaning as i cried.... like i have NO time to just sit and read..hes like yeah you do at night...Like a half hour outa the day would be nice...to block everything out..it has just been bickering back and forth over STUPID things...So I cleaned the boys room and cleaned our room. I got all the boxes of clothes packed up and all the box stuff up in our room put away got all the laundry downstairs sorted and boxed up. Like maybe you understand but i would rather go work just so i can have time out..I know work would throw a lot into my schedule but I am TIRED of being locked up in the house and only out to grocery shop...which is WORK...or church which is work being youth pastors...EWWWW i have that trapped feeling. Please dont get me wrong I am happy that I can stay home and raise my children but it sucks being trapped in and so much expected of me. Honestly when I was workin I didnt feel this bad because then he seen it as 50/50 because i was working to and just automatically didn stuff...AHHHHHHHHH ok i am gonna go before i start crying again....I am in such a FOUL MOOD!!! then i have my moms foster girl so i cant even enjoy going out to do one of my mystery shops by myself cause i have to take her with me!

Amarie2pt0 -- Thank you!

momof4under5 -- I know I'm new, but *hug*. I think it is very important to have "me" time, on your own terms. Even if it's locking yourself in the bathroom to collect your thoughts. Ok, other than that I'm not sure what to say so... *'nuther hug*

Good morning everyone!:wave:

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

:welcome2: Bella! Look forward to getting to know you. This is a great little corner with lots of support.

momof4:hug: staying home is wonderful, but a job with coffee breaks sometimes sounds great as well! (I hide in the bathroom and do crossword puzzles:o) I hope your day gets better and your hubby stops and thinks and brings you a cup of tea tonight.:hug:

amarie I got tired seeing your list! Want to come to my house and carry on? I have caulking in the bathroom I'm still waiting for hubby to get to! Not to mention the clover in the front yard still needs mowing. At least the bumble bees should be happy! And congrats:cheer2: on running! Poor pooch tho!! I know our pup is so out of shape that when we go for a walk I'm sure he is almost tripping over his tongue when we get back!

Didn't do to much this weekend. Cleaned fish tanks and clipped the dog and gave him a good tubby. The scale said I was up five pounds this am. I'm hoping its water weight as I had salty meats yesterday and the for supper the night before. I'm getting my water in today and maybe get some lemon water in and hope things go back down for tomorrow. Got hubby to pick up a big bag of premade salad so I have no excuse for not choosing that for my lunch.

Well I better get back to those dishes and the washer should start beeping at me soon!

Take care all and have a great day!

Welcome Bella, and hello all!

My temp job is mind-numbingly dull. In fact, it's SO dull I swear I have lost a few IQ points today. Seriously, a monkey would do this job just fine. No, I am NOT kidding. Ah well - I need the money! :D

Nothing else of news - talk soon -
Heather :D

Hi there,

I wanted to pop in and say hello -- I'm new to the site also. I'm recovering from a recent relapse, and a weekly chitchat might be just what I need. I made a big leap forward today and cleaned my desk -- I've been wanting to do it for so long, but it seemed like too big a task, KWIM? The way I just described it doesn't look seem like any big deal, but it was a huge accomplishment for me. Any step forward I'll take!

Look forward to chatting!

Marianne

yeah a bathroom break would be wonderful...but it usually is mom where are you...mom MOM where are you...Mom can we get this...can we go outside...they are doing this...blah blah blah...dont matter if dh is home or not its still me they run to

My boss has the same issue, she has 3 kids who only know the word "mom". She once jumped behind a couch when they were looking for her because once they see her, they zero in (they eventually went back to dad). She mostly takes the only time for herself after the kids have gone to bed, and lives off a few hours of sleep a night. I wouldn't recommend this...

Would headphones and music work while hiding in the bathroom? Or preplanned "mom alone time"? I don't have kids, but my cat definitely doesn't listen when I say I need alone time, so...

yeah I can threaten them about mom time but they only remember about as many years old they are thats how many minutes they remember 5yr old=5 minutes..LOL....no j/k but with so many someone is fighting someone wants something...USUALLY its papa (they call there father that) is being mean. Papa wont let me do this..HAHA...they are used to our schedule and what i let them do and not do...so yeah....
Well Just my dh and I are going to Dorney Amusement Park tomorrow for my birthday... WITH OUT KIDS....lol...So i hope it is nice and we have a good time. My dh tends to get worn out quick and gets grumpy...hes getting old what can i say..ok i gotta get to bed...lata chickies

ps thanks girls for the advice too!!

Just popping in to say hi to everyone :hug: Hope you're all ok!

Feeling a bit low at the mo, got myself into a mess with bills and taxes and all that hoo hah... you know how it is when you just can't deal with something and it gets bigger and bigger like some horrible monster you know is lurking in the cupboard, then when you finally summon the will to sort it out it's even worse than you thought... :shrug: Ah well. Tomorrow is another day, whatever that means... :D

:welcome2: Bella and Marianne! I'm new myself but everyone's so kind I feel right at home!

Hello all, hope you're all off to a wonderful week and huge hugs to those who need them :hug:

Bella - Welcome to the thread I'm in therapy too, it's very helpful and insightful to say the least! Welcome Fiesty too!

Amarie- I find it a total pain to workout when it's warm, but I've heard the best time to run is as early in the morning as possible, something to do with the air in the morning?

Buddly - It's probably just fluctuation, I'm sure it will drop soon enough :)

Me I havent managed to stay on plan for weeks now and overall have gone from losing 20 lb to 4 - ACK :yikes: Somedays I manage to stick to plan but right now it just seems so difficult to stick to plan that I'm feeling in a total rut. Today I had about 700 calories worth of chocolate, in a spur of the moment binge and I havent done that in a long time. Anyway I'm just going to be healthy for the remaining part of the dya, dance my butt off later and try again tomorrow.

:wave: @ Marianne and Bella

Glad your here :hug:

.

Hi everyone!

Marianne - I totally think cleaning off your desk is a HUGE deal, but then I'm not even sure I have a desk under all this stuff anymore. Maybe the stuff ate it... For me, messiness is both a symptom and an aggravator of my depression. It just makes me so twitchy!

Mof4 - Ah, just think in a few years they will all be in school! You can make it - I know you can! In the meantime, maybe institute a "game" with prizes for the child who can be silent the longest?

Spoz - yah, I can totally walk and run in the snow, but the heat - yech.

Everyone else - :grouphug: hope you all are doing well!

As to me, I had a very bad night last night. I ended up eating fast food and sitting on my butt instead of getting anything done. And this was to be my start of a new and rededicated diet, right? Ha... I think I've decided that I need to chuck the beer in my fridge leftover from a party I had a couple weeks ago. I've never been a beer drinker, but since I bought it, I've gotten in the habit of having a bottle after dinner, etc. But you know what? I think it makes me lazy. And it doesn't even taste good, ptewy. I'd rather have cake for the cals... :D Seems like a waste, but oh well.

Have a great day all!

Good morning everyone!

Well I must have done something right yesterday as the scale is going back in the right direction. So I'll try to repeat it again today work on the next five pounds and get some new digits! Nothing really happening here. DdA has her road test today. I sure hope she passes this time. Her dad took her out on Sunday and they drove downtown and even in a subdivision she went to on a previous road test so here's hoping third times a charm!!

Welcome Marianne!! Glad you joined us. And cleaning your desk is a huge deal! I feel way better after I find the kitchen table, actually maybe I should focus on that today!

amarie I agree about the cals! I always figure if I'm going to have 300 empty cals I'd rather have that in a chocolate bar form instead of a drink!

spoz congrats on picking yourself up!:hug: You have the rest of the day to make better choices!

Heather :hug:

momof4 :hug:enjoy your night out! And like amarie said, they will be in school soon enough.

mimzy :hug: I hope you get everything sorted out soon. You will feel so much lighter when you get that weight off of your shoulders.:hug:

leenie, hope, cathy, raven, francie and everyone else hope things are going alright for you!

Well I should go and get working on that table before I have to pick up DdA from work.

Take care everyone and have a great day!

Quick hi,

I've managed to sleep half of my day off away. We are going to lunch or whatever you'd call it at this point now and then going to see the new Bat Man movie. Let you know how it is.

Miss chatting with you all more. I am reading and trying to keep up. I've just been so tired.

:hug: TTYL :hug:

I'm back. The movie was good and worth seeing. It was nice to get out and do something fun.

The dogs are doing well after having been spayed on Monday. I've been crushing their pain meds up and spreading it on a piece of ham then rolling them up. They like their ham rollups unless they get too big of a piece of a pill and then they start shaking their heads and making faces. :p

I bought a couple of new pairs of jeans tonight. Not fun. I had to get a bigger size and the store was out of that size so I had to go to Lane Bryant and pay double the price. GRRrrrr. I guess that's what I get for over-eating.

:welcome2: to all the newbies!

First Wobble
 

Hey Chickies!

I have started posts a couple of different times to you guys! Either I lost it in cyberspace or I had to go take care of something! It seems like there have been quite a few of us missing these days...I hope we all get back here soon!

So, okay, I have been doing the RR food plan for over a month now and was getting pretty sure of myself...then yesterday happened...it was very sneaky... The day before I had a piece of natural juice apple pie...no problem...then for dinner I had this thing I bought at the store that is sort of like a french bread pizza...I had some protein milk to make sure I got my protein in thinking I would be all good...nope...I ended up having a piece of chocolate mint brownie and about an hour later I was yelling at DH & DD about a CONTAINER!!! Can you say sugar mood!!!!! So...not quite so full of myself today...I went back to basics and did the food and today has been just fine.. I am loving my new crockpot and rice cooker!!! I steamed corn on the cob in the rice cooker and it turned out great!!! I am not hating cooking like I used to! I love using the crockpot! Cleanup is so easy and you don't have to stand over it all day! Awesome! I also went to pilates today and my ankle is doing really well...I got the word from the hospital today on the mole I had removed...it is just one of those moles you get "after 30" great... :( Ah well I am just glad it is benign... I am going with DH to Drs appts tomorrow so I better get off of here and go take DD for a walk so I can get to bed at a decent time!!

Luv luv Everybody!!!

Hi all :wave:

Just slogging along at this silly job, and trying to not think in the evenings. :rolleyes:

Ran 9 miles last night - a new record for me :D Nothing else of news - love you all :grouphug:
Heather :D

:wave: @ You Beauties !!!!


:hug:

I thought I would come back and have birthday wishes from my chics....depressingly NOTHING...Oh well such is life
As to kids being in school I am homeschooling so that will not happen. We are doing the charter/cyber school that they give them their own puter and printer and have online virtual classes and then I help them get everything else done....Its all good I will make it.

Yesterday i realized that me and dh are getting too old to do amusement parks and they are no fun with out the kids...I enjoyed the water park more than the reg. Plus i never used to get sick on rides but i did yesterday!!
Ok gotta go pack stuff for camping...lata

Good morning everyone!

momof4: :bday2you: Sorry its a day late!:o (I looked on the birthday list and I didn't see your name, sorry) Sorry you didn't really enjoy the amusement park, but I'm sure just the time alone with your hubby must have been nice.

Heather WOW!9 miles!! thats amazing! I can't quite imagine running that far!

Raven good to hear that your mole was benign. Thats great news. I really love my crockpot as well. I don't use it as much as I probably should but I do enjoy letting it do its thing when I do. And I would never have thought of using a rice cooker to cook corn. We have a rice cooker here that I've never used maybe I'll have to see about steaming veggies in it.

Hope its good to see you. Glad your pups are doing fine after their surgery. We use to use cheese to hide pills for my mom's dog when she got old and needed meds. Sorry about the pants tho. I'm sure you will see a turn around soon with all the walking you have to do at your new job. DdC really enjoyed the new Batman movie as well, but then again she is a bit of a batman freak. That was her birthday theme this year as I ended up making her cake look like buildings with batman and robin on them and orange bat shapes around the edges. (First time I ever worked with fondant, interesting!)

Hi:wave: Everyone else! Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday!

Well yesterday was a good day as DdA passed her road test and can now drive herself!! I'm sure it was the practice with her dad on Sunday that helped Plus this being her third try! Thankfully she doesn't have any work today so we are hoping to get some things done around here. I never got to my table yesterday so thats still on the agenda and our front yard is a clover field that should get cut. Oh and I have a load of laundry outside that should be super fresh as its spent two nights out there :o I really do need to organize myself better. Oh well.

I should go and get some breakfast.

Take care everyone and have a wonderful day!

Hi all!

:bday2you: Mof4 - sorry I missed the day yesterday too. :( I tend to do that a lot - :hug: and once more for kicks :bday2you:

Everyone else - I'd love to stay and chat, but I'm tired and need to get some work done. Ta!

Belated Happy Birthday Mom!!! :balloons: I never see whose birthday it is... :rolleyes: Hope it was great :)

Hey ya'll!

Happy Birthday Mof4! I hope it was a wonderful day. Amusement parks and camping, it sounds like you have a busy week!

Buddly -- congrats to your dd on the license! I'm so glad a person only has to take that test once, not sure I would pass now! And I just cut grass today, it was amazonian and fills with lots of things besides grass (bugs, weeds, garden gnomes...)

HeatherAngel -- 9 miles?? That is so amazing! You are my inspiration for today!!!

Leenie -- thank you!

Ravengirl -- Aren't new cooking tools awesome! I loved new cool gadgets in the kitchen, and I hoping one of these days it will excite me enough to love cooking as well.

Hope4me -- I want to see that movie, it's been getting great reviews. And I hear you about buying clothes, I'm on strike until I need to buy new ones because my current ones are too small (ha!).

Amarie -- Why is it we have that ingrained in us, to not waste no matter if we want it or not? Maybe there is someone to pawn it off on? Otherwise I say chuck it and save your cals for something yummy!

Spoz -- That is a good plan, to just pick up from where you are. You can't change what happened, but you can make a better decision now, and now... and now. ~=) somedays I wish chocolate was a veggie, but then I probably woudn't want it!

And to everyone else, than you for the kind words and welcome!!!!


As for me... Today was an off day, I've contacted a few places for therapy, and but I was feeling ok yesterday so I'm like "oh, it's not that bad", but I know that isn't true. I just need to take a deep breath and do it. It's starting to affect my work and the few people I have left in my life. I did cut the grass today, and I caught up with an old friend yesterday, I haven't seen her in almost 5 years (my issues, of course). I guess that's why I'm here and looking for someone to talk to here as well. Life. Well, time for dinner!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!
 

:celebrate: Hey Chickie...sorry I goofed it but I didn't even know there was a birthday list...I have to rely on other more organized people for that sort of thing...but trust me...you are loved and if we would have realized it there would have been all sorts of hoopla! :gift: Sorry to hear that your trip to the amusement park didn't go well...I love the rides! But I have to only go for limited amounts and space them out a little. DH has never enjoyed rides (and now they are out anyway for obvious reasons!) So DD and I usually go on our own and knock ourselves out!

Also, DH has been worrying about this blip that he saw on his last MRI scan that he didn't see in the one before...(it turns out it was there after all) and was worried about it...today it came to a head before we finally got the answer that it has been on the other scans and it is nothing to be concerned about. We spent half the day at the hospital and then I think we were both just so relieved that it was off our mind that we cuddled and snoozed for most of the afternoon. I didn't get to yoga class, my Mom called because I didn't make my usual morning call...and my eating schedule got disrupted so I ate some extra stuff and have been more hungry overall...sigh...

Hey Bella, good to see you around! I have been on prozac for about a year and now am getting ready to begin tapering off of it...I discovered that my feelings were mainly being caused by the way I was eating...namely sugar and white flour I am following Kathleen Desmaisons program now...been doing it for a little over a month and am having huge success with it! I thought maybe I would need therapy of some sort and have read some books on depression and cognitive therapy but now I think that this food program is going to make the most difference in my life.

Buddly!!! Yeay, I LOVE being able to wander off and do what I need to do instead of standing over the stove! My new rice cooker has a steamer basket and instructions on cooking fish and veggies and all sorts of stuff. It is so weird, I have always pretty much hated cooking!!! I can't believe I am getting into it now.

Awesome job on the running Heather!!! :carrot:

Hope...yeah...DD have been just waiting for the crowds to die out for the new Batman movie...we have wanted to see it since we first saw the previews!

Spoz...aww...every one of us has been there...me...I practically lived there until about a month ago...I have finally been shown the key...I still have to put it in the lock and continue to use it but at least I found it! You just have to keep at it and find what will work for you...you can do it...I know it...

Hey Mimzy! Hope you get it worked out really soon, we all know the stress involved with money issues...Here's hoping everything is better soon...

Welcome Marianne! Lots of new faces around here! Love love love that!! Keep it coming!

Amarie: :drill: Get moving now!!! :) :hug: No excuses! If I can get going again when I don't want to you can too!!! I am dragging you with me!!!

Hey Leenie!!! You feeling better hon? Hope so...

Sassy???? :listen: Where are you girlie? We miss you...come on...stop hiding!!! :hug:

Francie! You better be having lots of happy hubby fun cuz that is the only excuse I am taking for you not filling us in on how you are doing!!!

If I missed anyone...well...I plead stress amnesia...:devil: I better go get my dinner so I don't take anyones head off later!!!

OOH!!! MINDFREAK IS STARTING SEASON 4 tonight!!!! THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER!!!! Criss Angel... :faint:
I'll just be floating off now...see ya Chickies!!!

Momof4: So sorry. I said I've been reading, but obviously not processing very well.

:woo::balloons::woo: Happy Belated Birthday!!! :woo::balloons::woo:


I'm happy to say I'm off tomorrow. Can't wait to sleep in again. I don't have any plans really except a couple of errands and bills. :p

I'm going to see Mama Mia with a couple of girls I work with on Friday night. It looks like a fun movie.

Heather: You go girl. I can't imagine running that far. Gosh I need to get my butt in gear.

Bella: Yeah, sometimes I let good days fool me, but looking for a good therapist is important. I've let so many things slide b/c of depression and fat, it's sad. I'm already thinking of skipping my high school reunion next year. :(

Buddly: You can do so many things I can't do like sew and make Bat Man cakes. You make a great mommy. I'll need to mow again too after tonight's rain. I'm not complaining though b/c we need it badly.

Amarie: Don't you leave soon? How's the packing and remodeling going?

Raven: Glad the mole was benign. I hope your dh got equally good news. :hug: to both of you.

Cathy and Leenie: You must still be busy busy busy.

Sassy and Francie??

Still looking forward to getting to know all you newbies!

Hi All, Sassy here! Be prepared Y'all its a Long One!!!! LOL!!!
 

Wow, where is everybody today?

I was off and I've been out all day. We went to breakfast, shopped, had a drink at Chili's, and then saw a free sneak preview of 'Step Brothers'. It was silly but a little better than what I thought it would be.

Sassy, what a great attitude! Can I borrow it?

Well, I'm off to bed so I can get up in the morning for work.
:hug: to everybody.

Morning chicks!

Sassy, way to go - giving up any one food item that we liked is hard, but this is a good step... let us know how you get on - I bet you'll be really surprised how much you don't even miss that Mountain Dew after a couple of days!!

Hi to everyone else, and thanks for all the ego-boosting (:lol3:) about my running - I'm feeling really good about it. I took Wednesday as a rest day, and ran another 5 miles last night. I am neglecting my weights, but I'll add them in again ... um... sometime... :o The scale is still moving, slowly, so I am content with that. :yes:

I had to leave my awful temp job - it was making me want to cry. I have never walked out on a job before - and to be fair, I did tell them I was going, and why. It was a relief. I shall find somethign else - something it takes more than a monkey to do! :lol:

Have a great Friday all - I'll be in and out of here on the weekend!

Heather :D

hey gang :wave: happy friday :)

Hiya everyone! Just poppin in to say hello before I dissapear for the weekend (back into a can of paint and spackle and whatever else...)

I move in 3 weeks - eek! Of which I will be gone 2. Packing and remodeling have not been going so well - I've been having panic attacks thinking about the move. Ugh. But, I have help this weekend, so maybe just maybe I'll make some progress.

:grouphug: everyone!

Hi ladies,

I saw 'Mama Mia' tonight with a couple of girls from work. At first I had a hard time getting into it but by the end I liked it. I realize now there are a lot of Abba songs that I don't know.

I ended up going to the dentist this morning and having my gum sliced open again. I can't seem to get rid of this infection. I'm now on round 3 of antibiotics. If this doesn't work I have to go to an oral surgeon. :p I was 2 hours late to work today so I just worked through lunch. I may go in an hour early tomorrow unless the snooze alarm keeps me in bed. ;)

Exciting life, isn't it?

Momof4: Are you out of town? Did I miss something? Doing ok?

Heather: I've only walked out of one job as well. The guy I was working with was a COMPLETE jerk. I left in the middle of a shift. I still can't believe I did it. Hope you get something else soon.

Amarie: :hug: Transitions are so hard and freak me out too. It will all be over soon.

Cathy: Good to see you stranger!

Hi All, Got some news.........
 

Hey Everyone!

It's Saturday and absolutely BEAUTIFUL outside today!

Ravengirl -- How did you get on Prozac without therapy? Was it prescribed by your regular doc? I'm definitely lost in the procedure of medicine, so please bare with me. Also, isn't it funny how sometimes life twists things up like that, positive news from the doc creates relief but throws everything else off for the day. On super intense days like that, I just decide to start fresh the next day.

Sassy Chick -- I'm so sorry about your DH *hugs*. Your attitude it astounding and it is wonderful that you two have each other for support. It sounds like he has jumped right back into the game with searching, which shows so much about his character. I read a quote (possibly on here, even), that say something to the effect of "if you never give up, you can never fail" and I think about that every time I slip up on something. One set back isn't gonna break us!!

Hope4me -- I've never been big into musical movies, but that movie looks really good to me. Maybe I'll rent it when it comes out on video. And that sucks about your gums, what is going on there? I hope everything is ok and you don't need surgery, but it is good to know there is another options, just in case! I've been avoiding the dentists for far too long... need to make an appointment.

Amarie -- It sounds like you are a woman on a mission! Sometimes the home fixing up can be fun, until you don't want to do it anymore but can't leave it half done. I'm throwing some energy in your direction!! And the thing about moving is it is always a daunting task, but the actual move is usually pretty quick. If worse comes to worse, trash bags work great for hauling things!

Cathy -- Happy Saturday!

Heather -- Oh girl, I feel for you with the job. I once worked in a canning factory cleaning for 1 day, and I spent most of my shift crying because it was sooo horrible. Jobs like those are not worth it!! Plus, there are other temp jobs that can be really great (I've met some of the most amazing people while working at temp jobs). You'll find something great without any monkeys involved! Oh, and so awesome with the running, keep it up!!!!


As for me, yesterday and so far today have been really good. I saw "The Ultimate Gift" per a recommendation from my boss. It was pretty good, inspiring... and a lot cheesy and a little over the top. Worked out last night and this morning (yay!) and bought some new work out clothes for summer. I also bought some tofu, hoping third time is a charm for figuring out how to cook the damn stuff! My friend had her baby (9lb 7oz boy -- sheesh!) and they are doing great! Will be using tomorrow to program a website and read 2 scripts my friend wrote. Since I work such crazy hours, I'll be using Monday to call possible therapists in the area to get more info, because I know this "up" streak will not last forever and I need a net for when it ends...

Now I'm off to the family campout. Have a super weekend everyone!!!

That sucks!
 

Aww Sassy... :hug: that sucks MAJORLY bad about your DH... I mean...WTF!!!! They say they are moving him to your shift and then "Oh WHOOPS...did I say that? I meant to say you're fired!!!!" I cannot believe that!! I know that with his attitude he will find something better really soon. And try not to beat yourself up to much about the Dew...you're trying...and that is all that counts!!! I think you are probably just a little shell shocked and numb from all the blows that are coming at you right now...I don't think anyone would ever accuse you of being an uncaring person... I am very sorry to hear about your FIL I don't know if you are close with him or not...I was very very close to mine and it wrecked me when we lost him... :(

Bella: Yeah, my general dr. prescribed it for me after a pretty bad scene with one of the dr visits...I really needed it at the time...he basically diagnosed me with Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety at the time and said that he believed that I could get through it on my own but at the time my DH was facing radiation and Chemo and I really needed to get myself together quickly so that I could be his support...we are so connected that my moods, attitude, and behavior affect his so much and vice versa...we are even closer now if that is possible... And we will be celebrating our 18th anniversary in October...

Hey Hey Amarie! Sounds like work...ewww...I try to avoid that whenever possible :D I HATE moving!!!

Hey Cathy...nice to see ya!!! :hug:

Okay...what am I doing today...I got up and had breakfast on schedule..then promptly went back to bed cuz I was up late last night and needed the extra shut eye! We are going down town today...going to take a submarine ride and do a celebratory dinner after at one of our favorite places...he is celebrating his mid term test that he took this week! Let's see...I think that is about it...I have been toying with the idea of a movie but I may wait until later in the week... Mama Mia looks really fun and I love ABBA but I think it will be a "wait til dvd movie" because I just have SOOOO many others I want to see...I will go broke if I go to them all!

Hey Heather, good for you on taking control and getting yourself out of a miserable situation...life is too short...do what you can to make it great! And really incredible inspiration to us all on the running girl...my knee wouldn't handle it or I would be doing it to...I always loved to run but I wasn't very fast and I end up with knee problems and plantar fasciitis

luv luv Everybody!!! Have some fun!!! :grouphug:

Hi.... just popping in to say a quick hello :wave:

Hope you're all well. It's been sooo hot here the last few days, I don't how it's been for everyone else! I can't seem to think straight when it's hot :dizzy:

Momof4, :gift: so sorry I missed your birthday, (I haven't signed in for a few days) but hope you had a good day!

Buddly and Raven, thanks! I should be able to sort this out, I really don't know what's wrong with me, all I have to do is fill in forms and send them off, for some reason I just can't! They're not complicated, it's just a weird thing I have. And then when I'm in a horrible mess and it really has become complicated I have tens times the job sorting it all out. Maybe I should just pay someone else to do it for me, it would be cheaper in the long run, what with all the fines for late payments :lol:

Oh well, I'm going to forget all that headachey stuff until Monday. I've decided I'm going to enjoy the sun for a change, so no housework this weekend, the kids are away and I'm just going to sit in the garden and do nothing.

Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend everybody!

Thank you for the bday wishes...Camping went pretty well. I had to break downs trying to pack wed. for it....Like put myself on time out and just cried because if I hadnt I was gonna scream and flip...trying to make smart choices to keep me from flipping. I remember standing outside in the pouring ran trying to re pack the van cause it wouldnt fit thinking I WILL NEVER GO CAMPING AGAIN...but it turned out to be awesome...I love it cause all you have to do is spend time with your family, relax, and "excercise" since you have to walk to where ever you want to go...lol. We liked it so much we stayed an extra night. Next year we are going for a week. We were just not prepared very well this year not ever going camping before and with 4 little kids. They made friends to play with.. The first night was rough because of quiet time but it all worked out.

Things are goin ok...Put it this was my meds I took on Sun. Mon and half on friday...NOT GOOD!!!!!! yeah so I am just bouncy around here not knowing what is next....

OK LADIES..I gotta tell someone and I cant tell anyone here I MEAN LIKE NO ONE because I dont want people to draw their own conclusions...
Has to do with TOM...since after the baby over a year ago when my periods started they have ALWAYS been on time...actually my WHOLE life I have never never had messed up periods...ALWAYS ON TIME..Well they were coming like the 23rd of every month...maybe a day off if like the month was longer or shorter...Well last month came on the 19...REALLY thru me off...Well it is going onto the 27th and NO SIGN of TOM....WHAT THE HECk..I am only 28 can I be going thru the change of life already??? I had my tubes tied after the csection. But ever since I got it done I have had this awful feeling that I would be the one to still have a baby after that. I even told the nurses while I was prego with the baby...that tying t/tubes wont work.. totally kidding...AFTER i had it done...i just was researching the chances of having after that...and found the ones who are in their 20s and get it done while still open from a csection have the highest rates of still having a baby because of a number of reasons...I asked my dr later one time when i stopped by to see him how many tubes has he tied and they still had a baby..but he didnt give me an answer just harrassed me...(hes an old man and I always tell him everything is his fault so...when he sees me hes like ok i know whatever it is its my fault) BUT LADIES....WHAT DO I THINK....I am really trying to not panic (being prego panic) No matter how much i have stressed in my life it has never affected my period...meds never affect it...is there a disease that can affect it?? I have no pains so its not like an ovary messed up?? Like every time I went to the bathroom I would look for any signs of TOM...but nothing...when I would flush the toilet i was like no im not preggo..
BOTH SIDES...It was weird for me to get so sick on rides the other day..but i put that to age....could it be i am prego...When i sneezed the other day it pulled a groin...like when your preggo and things are strectching down there. While we were camping i was starting to get sick waiting for breakfast to cook....could be just because i was hungry...but i usually dont eat breakfast...ON THE OTHER SIDE...no real signs...With all four of my kids I was BEAT...Tired ALL DAY LONG...like ready for bed at night couldnt keep my eyes open...I am not tired... No real signs of being preggo..I always gag on my tooth brush so I cant tell if its preggo gag or real gag...HAHA...Ok I just really needed to get it out. If I told my friends here they wouldnt tell but they would be like how you feeling do you know anything yet?? and everyone that heard would catch on...YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.....OK PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ANY ideas why it could be late let me know...its not stress and not meds....I am going to wait i keep thinking i feel cramps...LOL...so HOPEFULLY for some reason it might be late....ok let me know... if I go by the 19 (last month) then its like around 6 or 7 days late if I go by the 23 then its only 4 days late...OK

Well thats it I will catch back up with personals on monday cause tomorrow I have to do the BLESSED WONDERFUL 6 hour drive to take my foster daughter back to her group home!!! I should only have like 3 or 4 more weeks left of it!!

GLAD TO BE BACK CHICKIES...gotta work on a power point from the church picinic pictures...for tomorrow morning!! YEAH...I actually had it half done but yeah it got lost....ERR....lata
