Default Toe Tapping Thursday~ October 6th Chat

Ok so I needed a theme this morning.... along with some coffee..

Good Morning Ladies ~ Thank you everyone for your thoughts and hugs

Well... Last Night we had KFC... It's what my son wanted for dinner.. I think I gained 3-5lbs back. I had to much..and didn't think about what I was eating...
and I didn't exercise at all yesterday... which isnt good but I plan on getting back into it to...

Yesterday was a bad day on the emotions front.. all I did was cry and cry and cry... and I felt so low... so it's finally hit that this is happening again.. Just trying to deal with it is going to be my issue and will take alot more time than I thought but I did learn of few things..

It's my son's Birthday today.. He will be spoiled rotten... I know i said that yesterday but I still can't believe his is 7 already. His Birthday Party however isn't until next Saturday... There were to many kids with Birthdays in October in his class.

Then the good/ok thing that happened yesterday.. I've been trying to get S. into the Metal Factory I work in... Well on Monday (and we ended things on Monday) my boss comes over and asks if he was still was interested in a job there. I said yes and he had an interview on Tues.. it would be doing set up work... Before I left my other boss came to me and asked me to have S. come in they had other ideas for him. So he went in yesterday and they offered his Dept. Supervisor in the back of the plant (which i won't see him much at all) So in 10 days we will be working together.. I am happy for him. It's a better job than what he had, more money, better hours. I work 6-4:30 Monday to Thurdsday and have Fri, Sat, Sun off.. so he will have about the same but work 4+ more hours..

HI Cathy.. I've missed seeing you.. I hope everything is ok and you stay safe /hugs


I hope everyone has a good day...
/hugs

I am having a really rough time right now. I came here about 3 or 4 weeks ago and have been on a roller coaster and cannot find myself to get back on a normal track.

I feel like part of myself is missing, that I am doing my kids wrong in our life. Being a single parent sucks. I know millions of people do it, but I hate it. I never imagined growing up and being a single parent, especially being a single parent from day 1. I am rapidly gaining weight, all I want to do is sleep or eat. I get on my gazelle about once a week and feel good, but then the next day it is a struggle to get on it. Fall has officially hit around here and I don't have a single pair of pants other than pajama pants that fit me. My doctor just says this is a phase and it shall pass... but I am miserable. My house is a mess, I am mean to the ones who love me. I have no clue what to do or who to turn to for support. My boyfriend, bless his heart, is trying so hard to make me happy. He offered me money to go buy some new clothes that fit, I have nothing to do with it because I don't want to buy all 22/24, I want my 18/20s to fit!

DRAT I keep posting on the day before.....I'll get the hang of this sooner or later!

I'm weepy today& depressed, I posted in ystdy's today (didja catch that? ) that I have my dr appt. I'm sure part of it is PMS. whatever it is, I cried on the way in to work this morning for NAR. (no apparent reason)

I hope everyone has a good day today. I'm looking forward to a rainy, cooler than usual weekend. Great for staying inside & watching old & scary movies!

hiya........I'm around, but I'm NOT depressed, so I've been posting in other areas. It feels so good to feel positive! I had a yucky reaction to the steroids for poison ivy and about 36 hours where I looked like the Elephant Man meets Cyclops and a nasty bout of the really attractive "Pink Eye", but I just dealt with it...and it passed.

I'm busy, I'm losing weight (but still fear the scale after the puff elephant man episode) and I know I'm reacting to life normally....

SO it's about time???? I'm just sick of wasting my time and I feel happy about what & who I am, it's a relief not to constantly WORRY.

(and I'm busier than a one-legged man in an ***-kicking contest at work too) BBL, CATHY!!! I'm glad you are back to posting.

Hi all,
Sounds like everyone is keeping busy.
Liz I hope you feel better tomorrow.
Feeling yucky myself tonight. Not sure why other than hormones. I've upped the paxil to the full 20mg for the last couple of days, but tonight I'm just not sure about anything.
Anyway just wanted to pop in and say Hi and hope everyone is doing fine. I have been keeping up with my walks in the morning, I just have to out walk this little black cloud.
Our teachers have gone out on strike so all my girls are home tomorrow, nice long weekend for us.
Take care all,
K
