Good Morning

Sheila just had to laugh at your story of you shooting off your mouth and me doing that here, especially w/no one to yell at lol.

Nothing much is going on today, I'm running out in a few to do errands (while the weather isn't sweltering yet). I need new jamies, summer ones, the flannels I wear are just to hot and w/me getting older and well that change is sneaking up on me, I just can't wear heavy clothes to bed anymore. Getting old is a trip for sure.

Watcha all doing today?

Hi Gals
It is my day off and after 6 meetings in two days......I won't talk "diet"! Ha!
I have one more on Thursday.I sub a lot in the summer.

I am meeting a friend for lunch.........and doing a little shopping today.Looks like rain but I wont let it stop me!

I walked this morning and the "muggy air" makes you thankful for air conditioning! I feel so sorry for people who dont have it..we sorta take it for granted sometimes!

Have a good day you all!

DD 6 didn't want to get up today so she is still sleeping and I guess she gets a mental health break.......I have got to get the rest of my house tidied up....have someone coming for a visit this afternoon and tomorrow morning.....I blabbed too much about my paintjob and now friends want to check it out!

DD12 is wrapping up at school....finals next week....she is doing not too bad but I do worry about her. She is enjoying babysitting and looking forward to sleeping in on the weekends.

Hubby is still away golfing...they have had some rain but overall the weather has been fairly decent...they are staying at Panorama...have you been there April?

Leens I was thinking about what you were saying about ADD......did you mention if anyone else in your family has it? When are you being tested? Lack of concentration is also a huge component in depression....are you on meds now.

April I was thinking about you coming off your Celexa.......I have never heard of people taking meds seasonally. The constant yo-yoing of going on and off meds must be brutal.

I have been feeling better the past few weeks......this was a rough winter to be sure....but I am pushing ahead....forcing myself to reconnect with family and friends and do some things around the house that I enjoy. I have been watching these decorating shows day and night while I am cleaning house, bed time etc......I am so inspired to do the things I want to do in my house and yard.....even little things like putting up curtains, or putting in annuals makes me feel so much better. There are huge emotional issues I am finding around cleaning, clutter and disorganization.

Lonliness and boredom have been two themes in my life as of late and I find that it is up to me to fill the void.....no one else is going to.....I set up lunch or coffee dates with people as my "reward" and then force myself to get certain things done each day.

Leens the pj thing is easily solved.......take it all off! I would do that except I usually have one child or the other in my bed by morning.

Hey Never hang in there at work! You make me laugh!

Everyone else have a great day!

Good Morning Gang!

Leenie - you mean you sleep with clothes on? LOL it's hot and humid in Louisiana!

Hey it is raining cats and dogs over here today! Took me an hour to get on the internet. Guess the lines were all messed up.

Sheila - I hope all goes well today! Funny how our diet and exercise and weight affects our feelings about so many things in our lives! I hope you have a great day!

Lynnie - when do ya'll have to be out of the old place and in the new. I think going to work would be great for you - it's a great exercise for your social anxiety and it will give you some extra money too. What ya thinkin bout doin?

Cin - I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling good! Have a good lunch and dodge those rain drops! Good for you walking this morning! Don't ya feel great when you finish exercising!

I exercised again this morning. I am now up to 28 miles for June. This morning I did another 30 minute 2 mile WATP but I used 3 lb hand weights from start to finish to bump up my heart rate.

Well gang I need to work, I'll be back later to check in.

be good!
hugs,
cathy

Cathy we are not suposed to be getting the rain that you guys are ahving and I am thankful for that. The holes form the pines trees still havn't drained. It is pretty weird not seeing those trees in the yard. Now I have to go buy other trees to replace them.

Liz do you ever watch that show Clean Sweep? I I love that show. Talk about make you want to get organized.

Cin you mean poeple up there don't have AC? I don't think I would be able to live down here with out it. I don't even like going to CA in the summer b/c most people don't have it.

I have a conferance call this morning. This is the start of our DU meetings for the year. Do you remeber last year? I love it but sometimes I need to get other things done instead of Duck's Unlimited. My chapter is getting an award at the State convention though. That is a pretty good accomplishment. They saiod that the gov. is invited but they don't know if she will actually be there. That would be pretty cool to se her.

Hey Kemp - man we are flooded over here! I have errands to run at noon, but our street is totally under water right now. If it doesn't stop I won't be able to get out - so I'll just have to stay here and play on the puter. lol

Of course we remember Ducks Unlimited last year! Besides ducks are a big deal at my house!

Liz - you and I must have been posting at the same time this morning. I didn't see your post until just now. You sure sound busy girlie! hugs!

Hello everyone..

Cathyxxx – Yeah, that’s a good idea. I don’t have those WATP tapes yet but I have been walking somewhat. It definitely sounds like a good idea tho… this way I can set a goal for miles now or even minutes per month for a work out hehehehe.

Sheila – Hey there… that sounds like me last week… course I was stressed out from finals WHEW! I also need to get my rear end back on program, well at the least the exercising part of it. Sometimes tho a person can only take so much crap. I was dealing with a teacher who thought my job was to get her coffee and snacks. Thank goodness I work for the school system because we are on summer break now. Had we gone on any longer I think I may have opened my mouth as well. HMPH! Hehehehe and it takes a lot to get me going to… I think the stress from finals lowered my blow up level hehehe

CIN – great attitude about the rain. It looks like it’s going to rain here to. We haven’t had much rain here in So Cali. But I think it would be really nice to walk in the rain, as long as it’s not like pouring

Liz – I’m doing organization also… being off from work and school I don’t know what to do with myself! I still think I have homework to do I just got done organizing the garage. I have kept so much junk cause I wanted to do a yard sale, but each year I never sold much and I kept saying next year I will sell more. Well this week I had it with saying that hehehe, I cleaned out my garage and donated everything to the salvation army. I cannot believe how clean and ROOMY my garage looks now Next stop… rest of the house!

Kempy – hi there, what exactly is DU?

Well everyone, I’m doing good…I think the weight that I lost was definitely stress weight, cause it started crawling back today LOL but I am bound and determined not to let it crawl back with a few friends like last time. I did a 20 minute weight workout today… then I’m gonna take my happy self walking. Course if I don’t come back… someone call 911! This would probably be the day where I’ve done the most exercise… apart from my everyday house cleaning and what not.

Hope everyone is doing well…

Sue way to go getting rid of things......not an easy thing to do......I have gotten so much accomplished this week....it feels great! I agree with you!
Don't forget to relax Sue it is a learned skill.......

Hi everyone!

I can't find the faces anymore......where are they!

Hi everyone.....it's late to be posting....almost 7 P.M......still having trouble going to sleep....ever since last Friday.....every other night....have been awake until 2 to 3 A.M....was so tired today....had a 3 hour nap this afternoon. I am feeing somewhat better the last few days.....just feeling a bit sad.......today I am not sad at all......so hopefully I am on the upswing.

I had told a friend I would meet her for coffee this morning....had no way to get hold of her....she was out....so I went....was tired though.

It's a beautiful day here....warm & sunny.....DH & I ate dinner on the deck.

Liz.....it sure isn't easy going off the Celexa......have had almost a month where I felt terrible.....I am supposed to feel good in June....lol.
