Nicole- I am really starting to worry about you!

Joni- Are you around?

JM- Are you buried in a pile of diapers?

Cassie- Are you buried in a pile of homework?

Good question about the ornament exchange, Cassie! We still have a couple of months. Are you volunteering for the job? I am still hoping that things will settle down enough for me that I can check in more than once a week. Just keeping up with all the new faces is a full-time job! ;)

Hey everyone I pop in and try to catch up every now and then but now that life has slowed down a little bit I hope to get back to my daily check in I miss it! I plan on going to the center tomorrow and WI. I need to get back on plan. It is so easy to fall off and I have a few times now. Oh I will do it tomorrow ect you know the drill.

I graduated May 4th and will be teaching Kindergarten this fall so I have been working on all of that so far this summer. I have noticed today however that my right knee has been bothering me a little bit. It could be nothing but just in case (and it probably is) it is the weight then I can fix that by changing my habits. Not to mention that I need to set a good example for my students. So I got out my cookbooks tonight and plan on sitting down tomorrow to PLAN!

I also can not find my red plan book i know i just saw it last week. I will find it in the morning or get a new one!

Britt

Congrats Britt! You will be a great Kindergarten teacher!

Thanks!!!!

Hi Britt! Good to see you back. :wave:

Congratulations on the new job...Kindergarten...how exciting!!!

Ok, so I now am going to attempt to play catch up. I realize most of what I am going to address is old news, but I just missed you guys so much.

First of all, Tina…..I love your new avatar. You are adorable.

Lori…….just checked out your before and after pics…….all I can say is,, ‘WOW.” It is great to see you.

Kristi……..how exciting to wear a size 9 in levi’s. congratulations. That is a huge accomplishment, and I, too, would be dancing around the house all afternoon. You ought to go OUT dancing in them to celebrate.

Holy crap, Lea Ann……two child free weeks. What on earth are you going to do for two weeks without your kids? I hope you can find a way to enjoy it some. If you can continue remembering how much fun they are having, then you ought to be ok.

Kristen……..my family takes over a hotel everywhere we go. How fun to go somewhere fun with out of town company. That is a fab idea, and maybe I should try that this week when company arrives.

Hey Britt, congrats on graduating, and your new job in the fall. Isn’t it so hard to concentrate on WL when there are super exciting things going on in your life? I am terrible at that kind of multi-tasking. You know, kind of like trying to talk on the cell phone while grocery shopping for LAWL friendly foods? LOL.

Katie…..I am ok. I have not been on plan, but I didn’t murder my mother in law(the overstayer) , so I consider everything all good. LOL.
Ok, I think I will leave it at that for this thread, and brave last weeks losers thread……….

XOXO

Hi Lori and Kristi!! Good to hear from you both! Glad you guys are doing well.

Britt - Congrats!!

Kristen - Well, you were on vacation, now you are back. Enjoy your grapefruit!

Nicole - overstayer!!! LOL LOL LOL! I truly feel your pain! CAMIL keeps dropping hints that she would "love" to be able to come to the Outer Banks with us and DH's sisters in July... she says she could babysit... yada yada... We all just look away or pretend we didn't hear her. I told DH that if she comes on vacation, I am so not going. I'd rather sleep on a lounge chair in my yard than spend 2 weeks (or 1/2 day!) at the beach with her!

Hey Katie - I'm around; just chatting away on the Losers Thread! These days I'm just a gainer and a whiner; not a loser; can't be everything, eh?

Lori - so good to see you. I still feel so badly that you never got your ornament. All your hard work.....pishaw!

Busy Kim (I won't call you GB Kim) - hope all goes well. What the heck is a CAMIL (something Mother in Law)??

See y'all back over on the Loser Thread........

Crazy-assed MIL.

she's a total loon.

I think instead of an exchange this year, we should just all mail an ornament to Lori!

LOL.......then I have an NJMIL (nut-job mother in law)

Or a different type of CAMIL -

Crazy-aSHed MIL!!!

Hi there.. I told Liz she needs to take a break from work today and chime in on some posts.. We'll see if she drops by...

Oooh good - we miss Liz!!!!
