Good Afternoon Everyone!!
I hope all are doing well. Sorry i've been kind of MIA for a while, Work has kept me hoppin and part of the time out of the office and i'm still waiting for my home computer to get fixed.

I'm doing fairly well mood wise now if i could just get the food things straightened out. Oh Well one day at a time. So far today i'm doing very well and am armed with lots of healty snacks. I know that when i eat better i feel better. I know we've been in a rut here lately with what we eat so i guess i'll have to spend some time scouring the net for a few new recipes that will satisfy my meat and potatoes family.

We have started packing the camper again for this weekend. I have to get it done early, DH is hoping to take friday off and he will leave a day ahead of dd and I. I will have to have it done by wednesday so that he can leave thursday evening and i can spend thursday planting some plants in my garden (if it's dry enough)

Well i better get busy. Everyone have a GREAT DAY
MrsM

HI!!!

Mrs. M-Glad to see you back!! You are so lucky to be taking off again. I wish I could go too!! My kids have half a day tomorrow, and then they are off for the summer. I HOPE we can have a peaceful summer, "cause this year has just been too rough.

Ellis-YES!!! I AM crude! Thanks for noticing! I am trying to get in touch with my "inner brat", 'cause i think i eat too much partly because I didn't express some of this stuff enough when I was younger. (SOUNDS good anyway!!!)

Leens-I MISS YOU!!! WHERE ARE YOU?

Meg and Liz-PLEASE COME BACK!!!

hey darlings, what's new?

I have absolutely nothing interesting to tell you.

MrsM, you lucky girl going away again. Have fun!! You deserve it!
I just LOVE browsing the Internet for recipes. It's so distracting looking at food pictures.

Hey Den, your boys are on holiday! I hope your summer is serene.
And financially rewarding.
I have a headache. You?
If I haven't lost a pound by TOMORROW, I'm going to cut something off.

Leens, Meg, Liz... hope you're all well.

ellis

Thanks for all the hello's..not much new...busy week but a good good one! Hope everyone is well! Liz

Check out the daily's too!

HI!!!!!

Ellis-Don't weigh yourself so much!!! I think it takes a while for this to kick in anyway. If I weigh myself every day I get too bummed out. Actually, I am SURE I gained some weight recently, but I don't know how much because I stopped weighing myself. It would only bum me out MORE, and then I'd eat more!!! Usually I weigh once a week, but sometimes I'll weigh half way through the week to see if I am on track.

Liz-HI!!! Sounds like we have been having the same kind of week!! I have been busy, but I couldn't tell you what I have been doing!! Grocery shopping multiple times etc. I had JUST gone, and DS #1 told me UPON MY ARRIVAL HOME that we needed cat food. AARRGGHH!!!!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I haven't been posting much, I've been so busy at work its incrediable and when I get home at night, after putting Grace to bed I'm falling asleep in the chair and its only 8:30 pm . . . Sad huh.

Nothing much new here SOSDD. Boss is out today but before she left she made sure she dumped a pile of @(*$%_ on my desk. You know it really makes me wonder why I'm getting paid SO much more less than her and I do all her work ??? go figure ???

Anybody doing anything FUN this weekend (Fathers Day). I'm taking hubby out for dinner on Saturday because Sunday would be just to crazy, everybody goes out then. Since this is his first Fathers Day I gave him a Digital Camera and said its F-Day and B-Day present. He was very happy. I'm so bad when it comes to gifts, the minute I get one for somebody I HAVE to give it to them right away.

Well kiddo's, have a WONDERFUL day, hope all is well and I'm sorry I haven't read any posts lately.

TTYL, Love, Leens <--- no lie this is me.

good morning all

Leens, you NEVER read posts!! That's okay sweetie... life is busy busy. Wouldn't it be great if you won the lottery and you could drop that load of @(*$% onto HER desk!?

Father's Day. Curses. What a nuisance. And I did nothing for my mom on mother's day because I was busy sanding their floors. Maybe I'd better do breakfast for BOTH of them!

Liz, I'm glad you're having a good week!

Hi Meg! How are you?

MrsM, have you got that trailer packed? It gets easier every time. (especially when you've got a whopping great camper with a BATHROOM in it!! You lucky girl!)

Den, I know, I know... don't weigh so much. What can I say... I'm addicted to my scale!!!
Hey, but I've lost 2 pounds!! I'm so excited!! The only problem is, I've got that stupid song going through my head... "Zippity do-da".

la di da... going to get a coffee...
have a loving day girls...

What a silly bunch we are! Have a great day!

I have no idea what I am doing this weekend....I am working nights on Sunday but other than that....hubby is coming home late tonight so Leens he might be getting his fathers day present early too

We don't buy huge gifts for each other because as you can see it is just one big party any day of the week, especially for him! Five sleeps away with me doing everything from garbage, to grass to day to day is a huge gift if I do say so myself.....

Talk at ya later!

Liz

Hey again,

I hear you on the big gifts Lizzy, we normally don't do it either. I can't remember the last time I bought something for him, and we don't even go out to eat or go on vacation....sad huh. Well once in a while I'll go to lunch with the girls here at work...But this fathers day is his first and I wanted to make it a special one Sometimes you just gotta splurg a bit...life's to short

For mothers day he planted black eyed susans for me and thats about the extent we go.

I gotta play the lottery LOLOLOL.

Have a WONDERFUL day

ME

Helloooooooooooooooo

Sorry I've been neglecting you all. Like everyone else, I'm sooooo busy. Future dil's shower is a week from Saturday and I have been finishing the favors and making lists so I can start cooking this weekend. I will be so glad when it's over!!!

Weather here today was pretty good, after all the rain we've had. They finally lifted the water bans, so we can wash our cars now. It's going to rain again tomorrow and into the weekend, so it might put a damper on my Father's Day cookout Sunday. Oh well, we'll eat in, at least we'll all be together. Did I say EAT??? Here we go again with the food. Always food, cookouts, showers, birthday parties AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

I too am bad with the scale. I hop on it every morning expecting a miracle and almost always, I hop back on it before I go to bed, gee what a surprise, I'm usually up 3 pounds by the end of the day. What a bummer...I know Linda, I'm trying to get rid of it.

Have a great Friday everyone...and if I don't check in, have a wonderful weekend!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meg

Hi Ladies,

Just plopped in to say YELLO !!

I get to leave work today at 12:00 yahooooooooie, makes coming in early the rest of the week sooo worth it. Its raining and dark and gloomy but it really doesn't matter cause I'm going home early

Lets see the weekend is as usual, clean clean clean lol other than takinging hubby out for FDay and visiting his dad on Sunday.
I know this sounds aweful but I love doing and going no where on the weekends, its the peace I enjoy.

Well have a great weekend.
MEG !!! did you get your dress yet, details woman details

Love, Leens

Leens, you're leaving early! Have a GREAT weekend! I can relate to the "staying at home and doing nothing" on the weekends. It seems like we get about two of those per year. There's always some commitment... dinner guests, party to go to, sports event for the kids, family gathering... I WANT TO BE ALONE WITH MY FAMILY!!

Meg, I'm surprised you even have time to post! What a lot you've got on your plate! Yes, have you found a dress yet? What are you cooking? And what are the favors? We all want one.
I'm like you... I'm on the scale EVERY day!
Have a great time at the cookout!!

Gee, Liz... you're pretty good to your man. Garbage, grass, sex...
Have a wonderful weekend!

MrsM, are you camping? Listen, you need a computer in your trailer. You've got everything else!

Den, what are you doing? The kids are home... have you got a schedule for them? I'm going to be SO organized with the kids this summer. (yeah, right!)

I've got to go and bathe... I've got my first session with the psychologist this morning. I'm going to walk down... should be about a 45 minute walk, so I'll get some exercise in at the same time. Except I'll probably need another shower by the time I get there!

take care, darlings...

HI ALL!!!!

Things have been busy since the kids got out of school, and not in a good way!!! They had dental appointments this morning starting at 9, and I awakened to the phone ringing at 9:10!!! DH was playing games on the computer, and forgot what time the appointments were. ARRGH!!! We got up there in 10 minutes, and it worked out time-wise, but the rest of the day has felt frazzled. THEN DS #2, who went to a friends house on his bike yesterday when we told him not to ("I forgot."), went out on his bike again, went downtown, and nearly got hit by a car. I told him he couldn't go off on his own anymore. (He KNEW he shouldn't have gone that far!!) I think the near miss scared him though. I HOPE so, 'cause it sure scared me when I heard about it!

Ellis-I'm going to have to schedule them a bit, 'cause as you can see, trouble has already started!!! We bought 2 new music books for DS #2's viola lessons, so I am going to make sure he practices. He wants to be GREAT, but he usually has better things to do when it comes time to practice!!! DS #1 tells me his new band wants to practice twice a week, so I will be a driving maniac. (DH was accepted to a writing program, so he'll be pretty busy in July.) They will keep up their lessons (Wed. is viola and electric guitar, Sat DS #1 takes piano lessons with my MIL). They will do their chores, and if I have MY way, the number of chores they do will increase!! (They don't really do much around the house-my fault!!) Hope the Psychologist worked out okay!!

Leens-Lucky you getting off early today!! I agree with you about quiet weekends too. IF we see people, I want them to be people I can really be myself with!! Father's Day here will be a big breakfast, theoretically made by the boys, but I'll probably do most of it!!!

Meg-You sound BUSY!!! I want to know too, did you find a dress?

Liz-That's it here too. One big party, with all of us so tired that we sleep at various times during the day!!!

AARRGH!!!

Just wrote a post and it got wiped!!! BASICALLY, I hope all of you are doing well, and I'll write more later.

OOPS!! It DID show up!!! THAT is basically how my day has been. Not bad, not good, just WIERD!!!!!
