Happy Sunday Ya'All! :wave:

Aaaaahhh yes another fun filled week at work! At least this is my short week!! :celebrate:

Only thing I got accomplished on my days off was stripping the bed, we flipped the mattress, washed all the sheets, comforter, bedskirt, etc. Nothing like a nice fresh bed...........;)

That was about it. Didn't have energy really to do anything else. :yawn: So I figure this week on my nights off I will try to get more accomplished. I am trying to think on how to rearrange our bedroom. Its small and we have a queen sized bed, so not too many options but its driving me crazy. :crazy: I am one of those that is not happy unless I can rearrange every few months. lol. Which our living room is the same way, no way to rearrange it due to where the tv has to be......ARGH! lol.

Hope you had a Great Bday, Marbar24! and just wait until you hit the 30's, then you'll be wishing your back at your 20's again! HA! lol. I just would like the body I had at 18, no desire to really go back to that time, but the body, yes it would be great! But know what ya mean about bills! lol.

Pure -- I like 3rd, but sometimes, just like any shift or job, it gets old! lol. I like it mostly because there are little or no management here on 3rd. Makes it a lot more relaxing! I cannot sleep anywhere but in my own bed. If we go on vacation somewhere, I can't sleep unless I bring something to knock me out! lol.

Angel Congrats on the Great-Grand Girl! :bb:

Buddly -- I hear ya on the cooler. I used to "volunteer" to do that too! hee hee hee. Glad to hear the in-laws are doing well!

Leenie -- hope you had fun at the bday party!

Hi momof4............Bye momof4! lol.

I hope you all are doing well!!!

:hug:

Hello Everyone.

Hope everyone's weekend was good.

Mine was ok for the most part. I went to the beach on Saturday and just sat on the rocks and read a book and stared out over the ocean. It was nice and relaxing. Today I spent the day out and had fun. Took a 2 hour drive that became really funny. We got lost in an interesting area and as we went it turned in a dirt road with trees all around us. It was fun to do at night. It ended up being over 20 miles long and we had to go very slow for most of it.

So I seriously need to vent....

The bad part of my day happened when I called my step-mother to see how my son was going. The conversation didn't turn out to well. My step-mother was going somewhere and my son didn't want to go so he ended up giving her an attitude. Then my step-mother went into my son's room and found him playing with knives. He's 10 years old. He keeps saying he wants to kill himself. Then he'll say he's joking and it will drop for awhile. Now I am really worried. Especially where he is playing with knives. I am done with him saying it. I decided that tomorrow I am taking him for a ride. We are going to go to the crisis center. I don't know what else to do.

Hi everybody,

I'm having a little anxiety tonight. I've got some things on my mind I guess. Nothing too exciting to share.

See you tomorrow.

Hey chickas -

Hope - I hope you feel better today! Anxiety is no good...

Angel - Congrats on the Baby girl ( I'm a little tardy on that one - sorry!). Does the mom-to-be have any idea on names yet?

Purefire - I'm sorry about the troubles your having with your son. I agree with what Angel said above and your decision to take him to a crisis center. We're here if you need to vent :hug: On a happier note – I’m jealous of your kittens! We have two cats, and that’s quite enough for us so no cute little fuzballs for us. Just big fuzzballs who think they’re still small and fall off things . Do you have names for the kittens?

Sassy - Thanks!

Leenie - Hope you have fun at your birthday party.

Ifyernasty – I don’t jump around when I do the 30 day shred because I live in an old house full of apt’s and I don’t want the person below me to think the sky is falling. I normally do squats or something in place of jumping.

Buddly – hope you have fun in the freezer! 


Thanks for the bday wishes. My weekend was fun, but boy am I feeling it today. I may only be 26 in calendar years, but I’m 95 in people years. Haha – 9:30 is past my bedtime . I was up until after 1am 3 nights in a row!!! One of my best friends from high school came up Thursday night, and drama updates were shared over wine. Too much wine – not enough food = MAJOR headache Friday morning. Friday night we went out to eat and the hung out around the apt playing moronic drinking games. Saturday was GORGEOUS outside, and we had a picnic at one of the state parks Downeast. It’s my favorite place in Maine – I was happy the weather held out so she could experience it in its glory. Saturday night we met my other friend from Maine out for dinner, and went to a bar for a bit. Sunday my parents arrived for their week long visit. My friend left later afternoon after we did lunch with my parents. I feel bad because my husband and I are totally worn out and my parent’s visit just started. We’re such party poopers! Getting up extra early to exercise doesn’t help either – but I wasn’t good this weekend and promised I’d be super good this week to make up for it… oye.

Hope you ladies have a lovely day!

Hi all - no real time to catch up. Hope - you and I are the same person - anxious here too. :(

Have a good day all!

:wave:

Hi Ladies, sorry I can't play.. boss is here.

I wanted to give you all a big ol :hug: and some prayers.

Love you all.
Leenie

Hello, I know it's been a little while since I've posted but I was thinking of everyone. I've been super busy working 10/12 hours but luckily things are starting to slow down a bit. I'm getting close to my goal weight but I still feel big somedays. I thought losing weight would help me with my confidence and I'd feel better about myself, but I've been feeling really down lately. I hope everyone else is okay

Hey Chickas. Nothing going on here.

Hope & Heather - you ladies doing better today? :hug:

Hello :wave:

Purefire how did you make out with your son. I'm so glad you are taking him for help :hug: good luck sweetie, we are praying for you.

Leenie

Finally back from camping...loads and loads of laundry. Tons of stuff to put away...a trash stinky van, house to clean....stresss..

I think I figured out my lack of motivation most of the time. I only had a little bit of lexapro left so I took it every other day so I wasnt a long time without it. Well on the day that I took it I couldnt make myself get up and do anything I drug my self around. When it was nap time all I wanted to do was sleep. The other days at nap time I wasnt even tired and couldnt really sleep during nap. So I am going to get it filled and then take it every other day and see if it does the same thing is it does I am going to break it down and get off of it. Its what made me lay on the couch all day a few years ago. I got to the point I didnt even want to get up and get the kids food...I was in a good mood but no energy just lethargic really really bad.

Ok well gotta get going on stuff!!!

Hi girls,

Well, I have some news. Nothing is carved in stone yet but...I'm going back to school (I hope). I want to try to be a dental hygienist. I can't apply till February but I need several prerequisites that my psych degree didn't require me to take. I'm going to a community college tomorrow to try to sign up for classes like biology and anatomy etc. I will be going to part-time at work so I can try to make A's in my classes.

I'm excited and afraid. I fear going back to school after 17 yrs. :eek: Can I do well? Can I pass chemistry with a good grade? What if I do all of these classes then not get accepted into the dental hygiene program? Am I wasting my time? There only two programs in the area and they are competitive. Believe me, I have been losing much sleep over this. But if I don't try, I don't have many options...:o

Anywho, say some BIG prayers for me. I would really appreciate it.

Butterfly, good to see you again. Sounds like you have been working too much. How cool to be close to your goal weight!

Heather, what's going on? You doing ok?

Purefire, been thinking about you and your son. Did you go to the counselor?

Momof4, glad you are back. It sounds like you need a different med. They are supposed to get you OFF the couch, not put you on it.

Marbear, have you recovered from the weekend?

Angel, Sassy, and Buddly, how are your week's going?

Leenie, busy at work? Bet you could use another Sunday to yourself. :D

:hug: to those who need it and to anybody I missed.

Hi everyone!!

Hope congrats on the school thing! That is great! I've been thinking about it, but I can't pin down what I'd like to do, but I do know I'd like to get educated enough to find something that would support myself. I'm also worried that I won't be able to learn and retain anything. My mom and I were talking about taking a program and what my bil suggested was take a single course first before laying out all the money for the whole program and that would show us where we are at and hopefully raise the confidence level. Congrats again for taking the first steps!!

Purefire how are things going with your son?

Butterfly good to see you again.

How are you feeling Heather?


Hi Leenie, Angel, Marbear, Sassy, Cathy, Raven, Amarie and everyone else! Hope you are doing well.

Summer is still here, loving it even tho it is a little to hot, but I'm not going to complain it finally feels like summer. Our fridge has been acting up and I guess with this heat it just couldn't take it anymore and yesterday morning it sounded off, so I checked the freezer and sure enough things were melting. Long story short the new fridge arrived today. We have ice again. Saw my counselor yesterday and finally let her know that I'm just so unhappy with life. We've been concentrating on the anxiety and panic and I guess I felt the need to try and deal with the general unhappiness. At first she suggested I talk to my dr about a med review, but I'm trying to cut down on all of them so we are working on a few things. Hopefully I can figure some things out.
Haven't been exercising and have been making poor choices. I wish I was one of those people that would exercise when feeling stressed instead of turning to the deep fried goodies.
I should go here, its after midnight and I have a sink full of dirty dishes. One good thing about the fridge dying when its hot, you sure can clear out a lot of stuff.
Take care all,
K

Hi Chickies,

Happy Hump Day !! its dreary and foggy and just blah out today. We are expecting flash flooding this afternoon.. I hate that. One year I lost my car due to flash flooding, thats when the water drains in the street can't keep up with the amount of rain and well, the streets pretty much flood. My car was completely covered with water. I don't work in that same area but nonetheless, its scary.

:hug: to everyone, bless you all.

Leenie

Hi girls - thanks for thinking of me... just struggling a bit here. Healing is taking it's time, and emotional crap is getting me down. :-/

Hang in there, all, and I will too ;)

Hope - that's awesome! I went back to University later and never looked back!!
