Mom - that's a great idea... Or if I go to DQ they have those calorie wise treats but that's more pricey. Hhhmmmm... Now the only problem is time, this week is pretty much shot but I'll see what I can work out.

Marie - Ug.. can you afford to quit? I dispise my job also but I can't quit.

Pugmom - Thanks :) I thought they were gone until I got up this morning and had 2 on my left hand. Ow! It's a really random thing... very strange. When I did talk to my dr she agreed steroids probably weren't the right choice this time around. I'm going to try wait it out.

I think I just agreed to run a half marathon. Um.... I just had a chat with a co-worker who's a runner... and he mentioned that he's been toying with the idea of doing a half marathon and this has been my goal since I got really into running. Anyway, it seems I really need a filter between my brain and my mouth.. before I could stop myself I blurted out "YES! Let's do that!".

hey everyone hope your all well i got loads on uni work to do and its stressing me out :(


marie i hope you sort your job out soon sound slike a right nightmare x

aww ems, it will be worth it in the end honey, i will be doing my masters next year as well as working, i think i just like the punishment :)

Aunty Jam, i am leaving the job im just waiting a few more weeks to tell them im off, i have an even better one lined up, just got to suffer about 6 weeks longer where i am :(
Well done you in agreeing to the half marathon. hows your step daughter doing is she any more happier?

Iv had a good day today I just took work in my stride and didnt let anyone get me down.
I have tomorrow of work to see my daughter perform in an african dumming session, so i am going to kick back and relax tonight and let nothing get me down :)

Hope everyone has a good day xxx

Just wanted to stop in and say hi. I had a wisdom tooth pulled today so I was off. It's sad but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I didn't have to work either job and it was just great. It's sad when oral surgery gives you a welcome break from life.

Hi Aunty Jam, marie, ems, buddly, and momof4. I know you all are going through some serious problems. Thinking about you all. I think things will slow down a little for m in May. Pool league will be over and I told my part time job that I couldn't do Monday nights. Maybe at that point I will only work Tuesday and Thursday night and sundays at that job. I will actually have 3 nights off and Saturday. That should give me some more time to myself to rest. I just have to survive till then.

Well I managed to plan to go to the retreat I have been going to for a few years now...Its this weekend. First I wasn't going to go but on Saturday I was like you know what I have been working hard I need this time more than any other time! It is up on a mountain and so peaceful and just a relaxing time....no rushed schedule. Time to just think and ponder and get refreshed...so ya

BUT that don't start till Friday and tomorrow is proving to be a heck of a day..Baseball practice, trainer, kids visits....I wanted the laundry to be all caught up and things organized before I leave so my husband dont have to do anything and I dont feel guilty for leaving when stuff needs done. I cleaned the kitchen today it looks beautiful again. I only have 1 load of dirty clothes and bout 4 clean to fold..so really its not bad...but the kids rooms need cleaned before they get outta control...sigh..SOO I got a list tomorrow and cant afford to miss any of it!!! LOL
I can push myself in the gym but I dont push myself here like that! errrr.....Im defective haha!!

Let me tell you a funny story bout my kids..I sent my boys upstairs to clean their rooms and gave them 15 minutes to complete the task (wasnt bad) I kept yelling off time updates. Right after my 5 minute update my 8 year old comes down stairs and says mom Nathan wrote on my face....I didnt look at him and was just like "really" then I turned and YEAHHH..I had to turn away so he didnt see me laugh...I had to do it about 3 or 4 more times..then I call for nathan who is 6 and when he walks into the rooms he immediately says "it was an accident" I WAS LIKE NO NO NO...There was no accident about this...Ethan tried telling me his little brother held him down...sigh..Here's what he looked like...haha

Then my 3 year old brought me her purse and told me it was time to give her more money...ahaha
I love my kids!

:rofl: Oh I'm sorry to laugh at that but how true :D Drugs, laying down on a padded chair with your feet up...oh yeah :cool:

momof4, thanks for that cute pic!! lol, 'accident'. And about your 3 yr old saying she needed money :D cute!! I hope you get everything done so you go to the retreat with an easy mind but HEY...if your husband has to do laundry or fold, that's not the end of his world, either.

Hi Aunty Jam, ems, marie, buddly, and iris :hug:

we're supposed to get a foot of snow tomorrow :tantrum: <---that little guys shows how I feel about that.

Hey to everyone.

Mom - Looking at that picture I don't think I would have been able to hold it together! The retreat sounds wonderful... wish I could come with you.

Hope - I hear ya, I've had wisdoms removed while thinking the same thing.

So today is offically the last day of my ultimatum..... I'm still not sure what I want/need to do. He has "negotiations" today with someone he's been doing contract work for a full time gig. I'm just not sure they'll pay him enough for us to live.

I've had dreams of fighting with people all week, usually I'm wrapped up or restrained in some way and fighting to get out of it. Last night I also dreamt I was going back to high school and having no end of problems. Couldn't get registered, couldn't find my schedule, my locker, my classroom. Actually the going back to school dream is a reoccuring one for me... the fighting is new.

hey girls on a happy note i lost 1.5lbs this week :D x

mom - lol kids are so much fun. have a great time on your retreat.

hope - i am not good with the dentist, hope your feeling ok and in not to much pain.

Vermont - ((hugs))

ems - hows the studying going? are you ok?

Aunty jam - are you on meds? i find my meds make me have some very strange dreams. something happened in my life about 2 weeks ago (i cant go into detail) but i thought i was feeling better about it then the last couple of nights its been dreams almost nightmares about the situation, I cut down on my sleeping pills this week to 1/2 the dose i think this could have something to do with it.

So no work today for me and i was at home having some time with my girls and the mailman came and he had my final contract for my new job. i am so excited, i just have the awful task of telling my boss i am off, i HAVE to do it tomorrow, will let you know how it goes.
I have been feeling like a panic attack has been coming on all evening but not quite getting there, my chest has been getting a horrible flutter feeling like my heart is going wrong, its not good and I have been in a bad mood since about 5pm it just hit me and wont lift, nothing started it of its just there :(

xxx

OMG iv done it I have resigned from my job, i feel like a massive pressure is off my shoulders, scary boss took it quite well i am just waiting now for HR to come and talk to me, fingers crossed i get garden leave :)

Hope everyone is haveing a good day XXXX

AWESOME marie...glad you could go through with it!!!!!

Yay Marie, I'm glad it's over for you and it went well. I hate doing things like that.

Mom, I hope you thoroughly enjoy yourself this. You deserve it.

Ems, good job on the weight loss. You are working it!

Aunty Jam, I have a reoccurring dream that I'm going back to school too. I also can't find my locker, keep up with my schedule and realize I didn't do my homework. It's really annoying and exhausting.

Vermont, did you get the snow? I hope it warms up for you soon and stays cool for me. :) How's the count down going till you are done with the yucky winter job?

What's going on Buddly, how's the counseling working out?

Iris, how are you feeling?

I'm so glad it's Friday, next week is a hard one for me, 4 thirteen hour days in a row.

Thanks everyone :) I was so nervous about telling them but its done now and I feel good about things.
I have just had a lovely surprise I weighed myself and iv gone down to 180lbs so iv lost 6lbs this week. I was stuck at 186 for 3 months!

Hope everyone is having a relaxed weekend xxx

Anyone want to kick of April chat?
