AUNTY- WOW...thats awesome she is 98 and still on her own..I know from dealing with my gram its hard to get them out of their house. My gram kinda started enjoying being around family once she moved in with my mom. Hope everything works out for your faimly!

Look its me posting again!!! Glad 1 other person posted...i must scare everyone away!! Guess I need to find another bored...lol see if i can scare them away..hahahaha

mof4 - enough of that! you don't scare us! We love you Please keep posting, and I'll respond when I can. I noticed that this board isnt as busy as it used to be. Maybe you can supplement with a second board?

I have been traveling a bit this week and have had spotty internet. Sorry about not showing much.

y'all would be so proud of me! Yesterday I went for a real honest to goodness hike (the kind thats up a mountain!) It hurt like the dickens, but sure was beautiful.

My weight is a bit down, but I kinda want to wait until I get back to Oregon before changing my stats - you know, foreign scales and all that.

Well, short post from me this morning. Talk at you all later!

It happens every time I come back...Like its REALLY busy so I am like Ill get back into it..and then everyone RUNS and hides....LOL

Amarie-Im sure it hurt...I did a hike last summer up the mountain its called a thousand steps (but its more than that). Its the whole way to the top of a mountain. I trailed at the end because I had a youth that was injured trying to do the hike....it hurt but it was good

I just ordered on of those heart monitor watches. My friend has been using hers to track the burnt calories so I cant wait to use it!! OK lata!!

Hi all!

mof4 - ooh! I've always thought about getting one of those watches, but never have. Let me know how you like it?

Today I went to the store and got a couple new workout shirts - the moisture wicking kind. They are nice and lightweight, but boy it was hard to find some that had real short sleeves, instead of those cap sleeves that they seem to want to put on everything.

How's everyone doing?

OH LOOK ITS ME AGAIN venting to myself...LOL

So I tried to make it a good day for my dh...Was up till 5 am making him a video then slept two hours and got up and got kids ready for church then went to the store and got stuff for dinner came back and dropped the stuff off and put the ham in the oven. Went to church taught kids church. Came home cooked dinner did dishes why I cooked mixed the cake up, put it in after the ham came out, took a lil nap then went to parents swimming...It was nice but dh son that lives with his mom had to be a jerk. Its been a strained relationship because his mom has a low mentality level (tested) and is not nice to jeff. Lately I planned for the boy to go on a youth trip with us. I planned for him to come visit, i made the transportation arrangements, I took him home, he was to come this weekend but dh had to work late cause one of his managers got injured. so I asked boys mom to drive 15 mins from house to meet dh and she said she had to work so I said what about thurs she said IM sick...I said well so am I...so I said y dont I plan to get him monday...wouldnt work she said wed. to sun. so I try to get times...well I posted the video I made for my dh and his son left a comment about how can he be a good father when he dont want to see his own son. I deleted it and messaged him that it has nothing to do with him not wanting to see him it is the 4 hour drive (trip to get him, go home, take him back, then back home) he then told me I was a wack head and stupid. He is 16. His mom later messged me and said it is brandon who writes his messages i check them going out and coming in like a mom should...Then he sent his dad a message and said his step dad was a better dad. So he had to try and ruin the day. But I have been the one trying to make it work and he has to be rude and disrespectful to me?? I told her its ok for kids to say their feelings but being disrespectful is wrong. NOW my dh is done and I am not going to keep being treated that way..so now what??
Oh well...I guess everyone must be busy..I know some of you are outta town...but its like EMPTY in here or maybe everyone is walking past the glass door and sees its just me in here alone and they keep walking...LOL No im not a creative person...LOL

Good Morning me...lol...ok well I guess theres no point writing on here...hope everyone has a good week!!

Hello All and MOMOF4! I've been lurking in here for a while and decided to post here.
Just wanted to say that last week was really hard for me motivation wise and be-grudgingly did my exercises. I think I just need some one to talk to. I'm too inward, which isn't good.
So can I post here too? I feel bad that momof4 has to talk to herself!

Hi Mom - that was a horrible thing that kid did, sounds like he's confused and angry. Typical kid stuff it's just too bad he has to involve you in it... his mom should get him a professional to talk to.

It's finally summer and that means Canadians are outside taking advantage of the weather before returning to winters nasty freeze. It's a short season for us so we cram as much into it as we can. Hubby and I spent most of the weekend working outside, on the house, garden and yard. He called me at work a little while ago to tell me he was working in the garage and seems to have broken his nose... I don't have the whole story yet but I'm sure it's interesting. Other then being outside I've been busy with family and trying to stay active... Grandma seems to think the home isn't a bad place actually so we're planning a trip down there to see her. There is almost no internet out there so I likely won't be around when we go. I've been to see my parents a few times (both disabled, I help to care for them). And once in a while I try to take my poor neglected puppies for a walk. It kills me to see how bored my BC cross is but there's not much I can do about that right now.

Hello and welcome to Sarah, of course you can post here!

momof4, sorry that there were a couple days when none of us were around...my situation is exactly as Aunty Jam's is, we have such short summers we have to cram alot in a short time That was really crummy that the kid said such rude and disrespectful things, especially on a day that you really excelled on doing things for others!

hello to everyone else I'll try to say hi again soon, but we are going on a 3 day bike rally this Fri/Sat/Sun. and I'm trying like heck at work to bake 3 days worth of desserts ahead of time. Plus all the packing and such for 3 days of riding to a primitive camp ground

OH a special recognition that we had summer solstice today, holy cow like 15 hours of sun-up!! OH JOY I would not sink into horrible months of depression if I could have that much sun every day!!

Momof4, I'm back, I'm back, don't leave again now! I've spent a few days on here talking to myself too. Vermont and I had a week alone here once I think. I was at my mom's without internet service. Sorry that kid was being such a jerk. It comes with the age unfortunately, not that that is an excuse. He will realize what all you did for him when he's a little older.

Sarah, Great job on working out when you really didn't feel like it. That's the hardest time to follow through. Good job. Look foward to getting to know you.

Vermont, hope you have a great time this weekend. Can you fit all those desserts on the bike? I can picture you going down the road carrying all of them on a tray like a waitress.

Aunty Jam, How is hubby's nose? Sounds like you have a really full plate right now. When are you going to see your Grandma?

Amarie, new close are always nice. Sounds like you did well while you were away. I think I did ok as well. Great job on the hike. I have a friend who hikes now and then and kinda wanted to go myself. I still have a fear that I can't do it.

I have to say it's nice to be home. I had a great time but I'm worn out. We spent a lot of time in the garden picking beans, stringing, and freezing them. I also mowed the yard, I think it's an acre at least with a push mower. We did a lot of cooking and cleaning. I'll be sleeping it off tomorrow I'm sure.

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't been around much.
Things have been rather busy. I seem to spend a lot of time in my van as a taxi driver.
On the 11th was my daughter's high school graduation ceremony. It was really nice. I never thought I would see the day they were all done.
Work has been yucky as we are short staffed and half the staff we do have are all trainees. So its been challenging.
Today after work I took my youngest to the school so she could go into the woodworking room to finish her table. Thankfully I was helping her as she ended up fainting and having little convulsions of some sort. She ended up with terrible stomach pains and vomiting. She feels a lot better after a nap. I'll be keeping a close eye on her. It sure was scary. I'm sure her teacher was glad I was there as there were just the three of us in the room, so I was able to stay with her while he ran around opening doors, getting cold cloths and her jacket for her head.
Anyway the rest of this week is just as busy.
We did get to spend time out in the garden on Saturday. I ended up with a good burn on my back. Typical Canadian weather, one extreme or the other.

Momof4 keep posting!! Sorry about the troubles with your dh's son. The situation does sound like a challenge. It sounds like he's a little insecure as well. How are you doing without the welbutrin? You sure got a lot done on Sunday.

Hope, enjoy your trip and visit with your mom. I'm thankful my mom and sister moved to our town and I can finally see them again, we went a lot of years with just phone calls. My mom and sister just joined curves and my mom is actually going. Her health had really deteriorated since she quit working two yrs ago. So we are hoping this will help build her back up.

Vermont sounds like you have a really good weekend planned. Got to love the long days especially when they come with sunshine.

aunty jam I'm curious as to how your hubby broke his nose, sounds like quite the feat. Hope you aren't getting caught in all the rain and flooding.

Sarah, welcome and I look forward to getting to know you better.

amarie congrats on the hike! And the weight loss.

purefire I hope your friend is doing alright.

Tkglenn congrats on your loss as well.

I better get going here.
A big Hello to everyone else!!!

Take care all,
K

Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya YA YA YA YA YA YA YA

EVERYONE CAME BACK!!!!!

Welcome to sarah!!! You shoulda posted earlier!!

I knew alot of people were away and was hoping everyone would come back soon but sometimes that doesnt happen!

So it was a good day today started off with a massive headache...but it better now. Went swimming at my moms...gonna try and crash early...have a meeting tomorrow not sure what time...LOL

OK chat with everyone lata!!

LoL - There's a lot of activity here now! I don't really have much to add to my earlier post... just that hubby was building a counter top and had one sheet of stuff secure in place then left the garage for something, returned and wasn't watching where he was going and BAM! Walked right into it. We don't think it's broken, just cracked and possibly a mildly concussed brain. He won't go to the doctor... typical boy.

Buddly - Thanks for thinking of us but we're a fair distance north of the flooding. We had some interesting thunder storms today and a few funnel clouds reported at the airport just south of the city but nothing here.

Vermont - I too LOVE the longest day of the year. I wish I was a druid so I could celebrate at Stonehenge. I meant to add to the story you posted earlier about the friend and her arm exercises... it's obvious to me she noticed how buff you're getting and felt insecure. So of course she had to compensate for this and start talking about her wonderful arms. You were stealing her thunder without even trying. You rock!

Hope - we don't know exactly when yet... My sister, Mom and I will be going to see her so it depends on when we can all get free time. Either mid-late july or 2nd-3rd week of August. My Dad unfortunately isn't well enough to go, it sucks too because it's his Mom and it's the area he grew up

Good Morning All! And thanks for the warm welcome!

Momof4, you really made me lol when I saw your post! Looks like a peanuts cartoon party!

I'm a little overwhelmed by you all, and don't really know what to say but hello and thanks. I'll gladly answer questions about myself if you have any.

Today's goal- clean my bathroom!

Have a great day everyone!
