Good morning! Just cranking us up.

I'll be back later. Doctor day today!

Good morning everyone! Ruth, I'll cross my boobs for you at the doc's today! It's school picture day finally. Tommie has 3 loose teeth and I've been begging her for 2 weeks not to pull them until after the pictures get taken. Can't I have one where she has all her teeth?????? I'm off to take one more bath before work, boy am I spoiled! Talk to ya'll later!

Today is my exciting day--my doctor is giving me a "trigger shot' to get that egg to pop out and on Friday I go in to be artificially inseminated. Poor dh, he has to do his business in a cup! Aaah, where's the romance?

Miree and I are off to drop in in about 20 mnutes so I just want to say have a great day everyone!

Morning all you gorgeous chickies! I've sure missed you guys! Things here have been "interesting" (anyone know the Irish curse about living in interesting times?????) -- I started the new job and it's GREAT! Interesting work (translate: EASY), the pay is good and I am picking it up quickly (it's a whole new field of ultrasound - musculo-skeletal scanning on spinal injury patients) and am enjoying it. My "old" boss has been begging me to stay (someone else also quit!!! but she left with NO notice) - no way... but I checked w/my new boss, and since I'm only working 2-3 days per week with him until December, I can work 2 days per week for her until Dec 1. Soooooo - that's the good part. The rest has been that I got some kind of a bug 2 weeks ago that I thought was gone.... boy was I WRONG! Last Thursday I took DH to the airport for his flight to Toronto and then went straight to the doctor. I asked him if he would give me a flu shot while I was there -- he said "No -- you've GOT the flu"!!! I laid on the couch for the entire 4 days that DH was gone until it was time to go to the airport to pick him up!!!!! I must have been really sick, 'cause I couldn't even EAT (and nothing makes me not eat!!! )
So...... I was occasionally able to get here to check up and see what was happening with you lovelies, but could never stay long enough to post........
Ruth..... how many times do we have to tell you NOT to overdo??? Are you going to force us to come up there and tie you down to a chair?????
Jif..... I sure hope that something comes thru soon. If your boss is gonna be such a wienie, why on earth did she pursue you so hard a couple of months ago to get you to work for her in the first place?????
Peachie..... as I was vegetating on the couch and watching Craft Day on HSN you were ALWAYS on my mind!! in fact, I don't usually watch it, but I dedicated it to you!!
Sue... glad your virus is gone, I was wondering how things were going with the student there -- how is the job going? still loving it, I hope
Barb.... how is your dad doing?
J .. hope things are ok with your dad, too!
Sil... I've been checking the BSS camp...... even tho I haven't posted, I'm still OP...... just haven't exercised, tho..... mostly do get enough water, too!
Pooky .... how are those eggs coming????? Think yellow chick cheerleader suits!!!
Everyone else I cannot think of at this exact moment, I hope all is well ......

Morning Everyone! Hey twice on the 'puter for me this week--new record since the summer. It is cold and gray and rainy here and our school's furnace is still not fixed--can you say....cold! I feel like I am Bob Crachet trying to keep my fingers warm. I still haven't gotten back into the exercise stuff, but I have been eating better the last two days. I NEED to. Yesterday I put on a pair of my baggy pants and they were not as baggy as I remember them! I have been listening to the Smart Technique tapes every night. I haven't been able to tell if they are helping me with the food choices, but I can say they totally relax me for sleeping. Last night I woke up at about 2:00 in the morning and still had the headphones on and didn't realize it I went right back to sleep! That is SOOOOO not like me. Hope that it is as successful in the hypnosis for eating part! DS is gearing up for an important game tomorrow night for varsity. One more win and they get into the playoffs--I of course have mixed feelings about this--it means extra football games! It WOULD be neat to have him be on the first team to ever make it to the playoffs from their school. Wish us luck. Here at school I am trying to help a little boy in my class get through some tough days--his grandpa passed away last Friday and the funeral was yesterday. In the meantime his other grandpa goes into the hospital and is diagnosed with leukemia--the little boy is just beside himself. Definitely not easy.

Ruth, good luck with your wrist.

Mama J, hope you have a good report about your dad.

Pooky, hope the doc hit you with his "best shot"

Hello to all--kids are coming back in from music--we are going to dry some mums in bunches for the novel unit Sarah Plain and Tall today. It always looks neat having them hang in bunches in the room and the kids enjoy it. Have a good day everybody!!!

Hi everyone! What a day, what a day. Isn't it legal to kill your boss? Are you sure??????? I would love to do that! But, so you all don't think I'm psycho, I will restrain myself. Suffice to say, he's a butt.

It's an early night for me, sleepy! Talk to ya'll in the morning, payday, redemption day!

Jiff i just was called for a wonderful job oportunity. as if i need more things to do!!!! to teach clinical to a bunch of LPN students!!! my dream job!!! it is only 2 nights a week i think i can do that but BS will have to give!! i can not do it all but may be able to change nights and work something out! for me not much else.

trying to get back OP but TOM is near so it is hard but the carbs are making me sick so it should not be too bad.

Somebody kick me...PLEASE! I have been getting into the Hallowe'en candy, BIG TIME! Those little Coffe Crisps and Kit Kats just call to me. I can do great all day but then I get this uncontrollable urge to eat those chocolate bars and there's just no stopping me. Why did I buy them anyhow? I could have waited until the last minute like I usually do.
Pooky, good luck with hatching your egg. I don't even want to think about your hubby's part in this.
Ruth, let us know what the doc has to say.
Congrats on new jobs to those who have new jobs. I'm terrible with names.
Today I was planting bulbs in the garden and putting mulch over all. I still have so much to do and I'm so darned tired. It will be nice to finally put the garden to bed for a few months.

Linda, here is a BIG Kick In The Butt!!!!!! Stay away from that candy, it will make you so sick later!

Hi guys, just a fly-by. Been REEEEEEEEAL busy with work and the low carb (online) cookbook. Is taking me ages, I want to burn my Mastercook CD and stomp on the ashes deep into the ground. My fingers hurt, and I want sleep! And TV and sex and all that other stuff!

My latest stress...if you are watching CNN and they discuss some mutilated bodies of married newlyweds, age 16 and 17, well they found most of their bodies in containers at a storage unit about 75 yards from where I work. I guess I don't have to explain the stress this adds to my life. Sigh. I need a vacation.

Doing good on the eating plan, hope to be able to tell you about it soon!!!!!

Miss you all!
