Marbleflys, I live at least 40 miles from St. Catharines and they lived in Toronto as well, probably the same distance from there as well, can't even say she went to school with her and something rubbed off, she is older, by the way the murdering woman just had a baby, don't think I will be throwing her a shower and I pity the baby.
Actually at this point I have lost track of the amount of snow we have gotten already, my hubby just said we are supposed to get up to 28 inches in blowing snow, started this morning and is to go till tomorrow around noon. Can you beat that, have you gotten any snow? I know some states have already had alot.
Darling daughter who I just got off the phone with, was as sweet as pie tonight, probably cause I have been being extra nice, don't need anymore hastles from her. I still am convinced not telling her about the operation so she doesn't feel she has to come to the hospital on her birthday, (which I would never here the end of ) is my best bet. I told my son about it tonight and asked him if he could take a half day off work to keep his dad company and he said sure so that is covered. What they are doing is replacing a prothesis (sp) that is already in there and not working and therefore I have a bone that is moving around too much and I can't put any pressure on, they will put a smaller one in, then (and this kills me) cut the other bone to match the length of the one they just fixed, so in the end I will have one arm shorter than the other. Next I will appear in the circus.
If my daughter brought dinner, it would be pizza or chinese. She doesn't cook, her fiance does. Although they sometimes cook together.
The way you described that fall its a wonder your tail bone isn't broken as well as a few other bones and you were really lucky those glass doors didn't break on top of you, thank goodness. You must be really sore.
Hubby and I just got a bunch of candles out, the way it is blowing now I would not be surprised if we lost power. We would have to make our way over in waste high drifts (I am not joking, that is what its like out) to my Dad's he has a wood stove. Hopefully we won't have too, I'm praying not to! It's suppose to be worse with the wind tomorrow, there have already been a bunch of closures announced on the tv. Looks like my kids still have to go to work, Sherry's place is a Crisis centre which has to stay open 24hrs a day. My son works for the City, don't think of have heard of them closing, he works in the office so I don't see why not. Anyhow!!!
Stopeating, thanks for the vote of confindence, we all need it now and again and I can use it right now. Sorry you got sick, it must of been awful at work for you, glad your feeling a little better. Jasmine sounded pretty good considering all she is dealing with, poor thing. Kids!!! My daughter wanted me to say this little saying to her tonight,that we had when she was little and I tucked them in, it made me howl when she asked. What a changing personality she can have.
Food was good, till this evening, then I blue it with 3 ice cream cones and I didn't exercise today either. Was busy, but could of got it in tonight, just did not bother. Some days are better than others. Well it is getting late, so goodnight, have a good day tomorrow.

The things I like about goats vs. cows is: 1. If a goat steps on my foot I say "ouch", if a cow steps on my foot I would say "take me to the hospital!". 2. Goats feces are tiny pellets that don't stink (think big rabbit poop) and cow poop is horrid. Again they are smaller so they also do not produce as much AND you do not need to compost goat poop, it can go right into the garden as is just like rabbit poop with no worries of bacteria! Cow poop MUST be composted!
Those are great points! How does the cheese taste? Do you like it? And the yogurt? I know when my bro and I were little my mom said we were "lactose intolerant" and that she gave us goats milk! (I know now that alot of people are intolerant cause of the pasteurization and homogenization etc) Anyhow to this day I have never been much of a milk rinker at all but I ADORE cheese! lol Yogurt is a favorite too and now kefir but never straight, always with fruit etc. My mom had a goat when we were little but idk if she milked it or not. Hmmnnn...

I am SOOOO JEALOUS!! When ever I make large quantities of whole wheat they come out like bricks. There is only one recipe that works for me and it only makes one loaf. This one looks pretty similar as far as the ingredients so I am going to have to try it, the one I use is a vegan recipe that stuck with me since it worked LOL change the butter to oil and its nearly the same! I will have to blame you if I end up eating a half a loaf myself though. Homemade bread is like DRUGS! I am drooling just thinking of the smell!
Yes, try the bread! My family LOVES it! I did use real butter. We nevr use any other kind no more. Thank gosh we found some at smnart n final for $2.15 a pound and just yesterday I found danish creamery for 1.00 for 8 oz at the .99 cent store!!
Quote:
So what do you use the meatballs for? Plain, Sandwiches, Spaghetti, thats all I can think of? I made some killer pot stickers but only like 20 made it to the freezer, I had to do a test run of course and the family LOVED them and they were super easy, all be it time consuming and frustrating to seal and assemble. I want to do more like that, not unnecessarily OAMC but just keep healthy homemade convenience foods around. That way if I am running behind or having a low energy day I can just pull it out and cook it up super easy I so need a deep freeze!!!
Get a deep freeze! I don't know what I would do with out them. As soon as the site I got them off is up and running I will give a link. We made tiny ones and put them on our h.m. pizza one nite(still need to tweak the crust for that one) and we usually make either omellettes for sat brunch or the last few weekends we have been having scrambled eggs in my home made wheat tortillas!
Mix egg with bell pepper, onion, some cheese, and some of the meatballs thawed and warmed up and sliced up. They are VERY tasty! One nite I grabbed some cooked ground turkey out of the freezer (plain)and a few meatballs and added it all together and it really tasted good, plus a few more seasonings.
You could cook the mixture and add some to lasagna, make meatball sandwiches, calzones, etc the possibilities are endless and it gives LOTS of flavor to the turkey!
Good luck with the doc!!
marbleflys:
*mails you some lasagna* Well the "gravy" turned out awesome! I don't know why she wanted such a HUGE pot. It was only like 1/3 the way full! Oh well. Next time I will double the recipe BUT I was able to make 4 pans of lasagna! We froze 3 pans and boy was it great!!! My dh had 3 pieces!!!!!
Maybe when I am not so busy balancing 4 trays at once I can take pics! That will be so nice to have extra on hand. *sigh*
Food porn....hehehehhee I need to remember to take pics of all the cookies I am baking today! I am doing choc. chip and sugar cookies with cut out heart shapes. Oh and dh wanted choc. chip muffins so i snuck in some walnuts too!
I must of missed hearing about the fall! So sorry! Hope you get better quick!!!

Thanks Jasmine for the words of encouragement. I did go a little wild on Sat. But it made no difference. Still weighed the same today, got my aquafit exercise in this morning. I met with a dietican one on one today, she is from my doctor's office, but only there two days a week. Anyhow she thinks I need to eat more calories, which there have been days that I have been 973 or something like that, too low. She also recommended I follow the Canada's Food Guide for my age level.
Your welcome and that is WAY too low! I can lose about 2 pounds a week by eating healthy cals and at about 1700 a day and walking 60 minutes 5 days a week. The way my cals break up are 30-35% fat, 40-50% carbs(healthy carbs!) and 20% protein.
If you don't get enough to eat your body will try to keep what it has. If your body thinks it is getting plenty of nutritious food then it won't!
Even when I am losing I am eating normally with treats here and there. There are just certain things I try to never have one of them is white sugar, I use mostly honey now even in baking and no white bread.A GREAT bread to get is the ezekiel one. I have two slices of that at lunch and with 1 tbs peanut butter and a bit of honey is VERY filling!
I always have a smoothie for breakfast. Kefir plus fruits blended. Anyhow some days I will have ezekiel bread as a grilled cheese, just one though! Sometimes I will have 1 oz of cheese with low fat turkey breast and mustard etc.
A snack later is always 1/4 cup of cashews or walnuts. If I get hungry around 4:00 or joe has to work late a light salad.
Another thing that is VERY filling is chili beans! I make those once a week and have a huge crock pot full with maybe 1 1/2 or so of gr. turkey and about 32 oz tom sauce and onion, bell pepper, cumin, some pother seasonings, chili flakes, 32 oz water, lots of beans. Anyhow the math is roughly 235 cals or so and very high protein and fiber and VERY filling!!! Top with some home made salsa. Brown spanish rice is also very good for you! We eat alot of turkey(ground as well) chicken, 1-2 a week red meat. Lots of vegis, lots of onion and garlic etc. And I do eat cheese almost daily.

Sounds like you have been a busy woman Jasmine, doing all this cooking, it all sounds so good, the bread I would die for, but don't have the patience to make. Like the sound of the meat balls and lasagna as well. B12 is a really important vitamin and hard to get enough out of food, I have taken shots for it before, my dad and mom did as well. You can also buy Vitamins that have no beta caratene, usually here they are under a store name or a brand the drug store sells, also cheaper than the others.
Yeah busy but happy!
I may need to find another supplement and who knows if they really work or not? *sigh*

Well they will operate on my arm March 5th (right on my daughter's birthday, but I figure since were haveing the surprise birthday party for her Feb. 24th, she should be okay with it, plus she has another birthday party for her friend on the 3, my dad's on the 4th, she should be tired of celebrating. I am not telling her till the operation is over though, she has the day off and I don't want her to spend it at the hospital, as that will be an never ending story, if you know what I mean.
Good luck hun! I will pray! Just keep reminding us!!
I really thought when so many people did not post on the weekend that everyone was posting at a different sites and this one was just going to go by the wayside, it made me sad, I would miss you guys.
Well have a wonderful day tomorrow. We are to get about a good 12 inches of blowing snow, maybe more, I can hardly wait! NOT!!![/QUOTE]
I usually don't post at all on weekends cause dh and kids are home and we are always busy. I do try to make it by a few times a week and we are all here for each other!! *hugz*

Hi everyone! Just a quick reply. I got the stomach flu on Sunday. I was so sick. I'm eating toast and weak items, I'm afraid to eat, but I'm definitely feeling better than I was on Monday.
Because I started a new job last Monday, I could not call in sick so I toughed it out but it was the sickest I've been in years! I think I spent more time in the bathroom than the office but everyone was understanding.
Thanks for all the comments about college costs. I've got to get it finished.
I've got to try the bread recipe, it sounds great!
Sharon and Jasmine - With everything going on in your life you are doing great!
I hope ya get better!!! The recipe is awesome! Let me know if you try it!!!
Good luck with the college thing I never went so don't know much about it.
Thanx for the props I am actually doing better this a.m. than I thought. (more later)
Canuk4:
Thanx for the props hun. Well on that front things have started settling down and she is even running around and laughing again! *THUD* Scary thing is it makes me think what does she have planned??? lol
On the scale front. Well I have been pretty good the past few days and walked monday but tuesday was waylaid(more in a minute) but still did good even though we had lasagna that nite I was great and only had one! Last nite I did the same with the enchiladas. I made two pans and did home made sauce for that and it was really good. So one pan went in the freezer. Dh loved it and had 3 pieces!!!! He said he will be fat by 40 and I told him NO!!!! hahahaha
Anyways I did brave the scale this a.m. and it said *drum roll please* 204!!!! Remember I had gotten down to 203 last month? Well I am almost back there. I wonder if alot of those "extra pounds" were just water and salt etc? My tummy is feeling great! Now on to lose some actual weight for this month!!!
Anyways: I am going to copy/paste what I emailed my ex sis in law so you all know what happened yesterday, I sent this this a.m. to her:
Quote:
Hey hun, I am sending you this email cause I am really frustrated.
I will try to keep this as short as possible.
You already know what happened with the last visit we adressed that already.
Well Charlie is up to his old tricks again. I am really sick of the harassment. This guy doesn't care enough to be a dad to his kids except once a year and then when he does see them (cause someone else picks them up and does it for him) all he can do is knock me and Joe who are doing our best to take good care of them! And on top of this, call CPS with a bunch of crap that isn't true and stretching the truth at best.
Guess who stopped at my house yesterday? CPS. I wonder WHO called? *rolls eyes*
Allegedly "badmouthing their dad, the kids have to pick up cigarette butts and the kids have no food to eat and are called derogatory names and are faking illnesses"
The cps guy says this "call" seemed petty and did not care if the kids had to clean up cig butts as long as it wasn't Katy.
We already went over the "badmouthing dad" in our last call. Like I told ya Julie, I do my best to NOT badmouth him and when they ask why he NEVER comes to visit or call instead of saying its cause he is a BAD dad, etc, I say, maybe it is cause he is sick. (Basically making excuses so they won't have their feelings hurt) I used the example of the harms of drinking by using Charlie, myself, my mom AND Joe as an example to warn them. I did not single him out, I did not say he is a drunk etc. I have told the kids that all of us rarely drink at all but one of the times I had (11 years ago) I got so sick I threw up all over myself. Anyways I think you know what I mean.
As far as cig butts, Joe only smokes outside and once I don't remember which kid was goofing off and knocked the can over and Joe did have them pick up the mess but on a normal basis he tells them NOT to cause that is HIS mess.
We don't call the kids derogatory names. Obviously. We do tease each other alot and say things like, you're being a dork! "Mommy's a brat", "No you're a brat! " etc just being silly. Sometimes the kids are mean and call each other stupid or ******ed and we always lecture them about that etc.
As far as food that REALLY insenses me. I always buy in bulk and shop the good deals and when there are specials I stock up, like buying 18 chickens when they are on sale for .59 cents a pound and storing them in our deep freezer. Buying 20 pounds of ground turkey, grabbing roast when they are on sale, etc. I bought 180 eggs at smart n final a few weeks ago cause they were on sale. We are generally a month ahead in our meat supply and I try to do once a month BIG shopping and then shop weekly for fresh fruit and milk etc. Sometimes stuff is falling out of the freezer cause I can't fit any more in it. Chicken went on sale again but Joe told me not to buy any more cause we still have 12 left from last time. The kids have plenty of food to eat and eat all the time. Breakfast , lunch, dinner, snacks. I do try to watch how much they eat and am trying to teach them to find their full button. Like c.J. last nite, he will try to keep eating and eating if you let him cause he wants to be like Joe and Chris AND HAVE TWO PORTIONS . But I try to determine if he is legitimately still hungry or not , one enchilada, beans and rice is plenty for a 7 year old. Bottom line is the deep freeze is full, the fridge and freeze in the kitchen and the pantry and the cupboards, etc. *sigh* I can't really fit anything else in there!!!
The lady looked and told the guy, they got plenty of food! And I didn't even show her the deep freeze.
The kitchen was spotless cause that is an area I am really picky about, thank goodness, I graciously invited them in to sit at the table. The front room looked normal, clean but a few things laying around, back pack, a toy, some shoes, not bad.
Thank goodness my kids set them straight. They were all clean and nicely dressed(just got home from school).
The cps had asked what we do for punishment for them and I told them we take their toys, ps2 's away, etc. If we have to we spank them with a hand or a belt once or twice. Kass is too old for spankings.
The kids verified that separately and we passed everything with flying colors etc but I am so mad!! I am tired of having to deal with all this garbage. Like I told my friend, he doesn't give a darn to call or see his kids except once a year and when he does all he can do is try to call their mom names and pull this stuff. I am sick of it. He just abandons his kids he should be glad they have a mom and a new stepdad who actually take very good care of them. (I know he wouldn't be happy about Joe etc, but ya know what I mean)
The cps guy said we were fine and he would put that all in the file that the allegations are not true, the kids are clean , are wearing nice clothes and are well fed and are not being verbally abused. I asked him if anything can be done about people filing phony complaints and he said something about him being an officer of the court and they would keep an eye on "who" it is the complaint comes from, etc.
I am really mad and tired of his harassment. I can't tell you how many times he has pulled these stunts and even bringing the cops to my door on the day we buried my mom with phony allegations. He even called in and reported my moms car stolen and the cops took it away til we could prove it was ours, we did get it back eventually but that took up $600.00 in cops fees and impound etc around x~mas time! We finally got rid of the car when it wouldn't pass smog. That was Money that was taken away from our kids one x~mas (2005), we were so broke cause of that all we could do was spend $20.00 on each child that year.
Charlie is hurting our kids by his selfish acts. Julie I am really sick of it. I know you were trying to help him see his kids out of love and care. But it seems he is full of hate and selfishness and trys to twist around your best intentions to try to cause harm for me and the kids.
I have never done anything to try to repay evil for evil and I lay this all In God's hands. But seriously, I am sick of it. Charlie is "eligible" to see his kids every other weekend. But I think you should let him figure it out and do it himself. You and Johnathon and your boys are always welcome to have them but I really question how good of an idea it is helping HIM to see them. It doesn't seem to me he wants to set a good example or be a positive influence in their life.
I didn't want to call you cause it helps me to put all my thoughts on paper. You are welcome to call or email me back though. I didn't want to send you this email but I wanted you to know what is going on. The legal aid was supposed to be up here a few days ago on Monday but it was a holiday so we have to wait two more weeks to do anything further. I hope you understand where I am coming from and I know this isn't your fault and I am just ....frustrated.
WOW Jasmine you have really had your hands full, like I said before your X and mine could be twins, or better yet clones. I am so sorry you had to go through the cps people had to come and bother you again, but again you proved him wrong. Even if they move on, they never let you or the kids alone. Boy they really were thorough with you and the kids, thank goodness you have taught the kids to tell the truth, they must love you and Joe one heck of a lot. Not a bad word was said. I think your letter to your X sister-inlaw layed in on the line, you were honest and told her just how things are and the consequences of your X badmouthing you etc. I think you covered everthing really well and I think she should understand where you are coming from. If she doesn't then that is her problem.
Thanks for the help with telling me what your eating, to help me try and get on track. I know the calories some days were really low and too low, and now I realize 1200 is to low for me, don't really know what or where I should be at though, I guess if I just follow the guide eat 3 meals and snacks I should be okay. Thank-you for the prayers re-my operation, I am just glad they are going to get it done and I will be praying it works this time.
I can't believe all the cooking you do, you must really like it, personally I hate it, my favourite is the Barb-Q then hubby does the cooking of the meat at least and I don't have as much to do. I guess cause I am older and cooked for a long time and always had the big family dinners 23-27 at my place, that now I have no interest which can be a problem when you are trying to eat healthy and don't want to be eating salads all the time.
I have not done well with my eating today either, don't know what is bothering me and why I can't get down to doing it right, I seem to do well for part of the day, then blow it. I will try again tomorrow. At least I got my forty minutes of floor exercising done and I swept and washed the kitchen and bathroom floors, then cleaned the bathroom and dusted my bedroom, so I got a little more exercise from that, not enough to make up for the snacks I ate though.
Hope all is well with everyone else. What happened to the Valentine challenge? It just dawned on me. I don't even know how it works.
Glad Kass is laughing and back to her old self, I do know what you mean by waiting to see what happens next! You can tell from my posting re-my daughter.
Sumi hope your feeling okay. Marbleflys how is how is that tale bone? I am sure you are still sore. Stopeating are you feeling better? SD Gal where are you? Took off with that new haircut right! Hi to everyone else as well, Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!
Sharon S.
Hello girls, every bloody time I've tried to post this week I get timed out or something and it won't post my post.. so.. I just stopped trying. My stars that just infuriated me!!!
I'm up just a little this week, by something like .2... I'm angry with myself that I've not walked in over a week. Steve is sick and I'm not feeling so hot myself now. I've made an appt for my yearly PE for mid-March so I'm going to work my arse off this next 30 days. I know for a fact my weight hadn't changed these past two years, I sat at 168.. now I'm under by quite a lot and I'd like to see 150 (that's just 7 pounds) by March 15th. So, that's my new goal. Its also my TOM.. so.. I ate banana bread *homemade* (wish smart balance) and chocolate covered strawberries and *sigh* Pepperidge Farms coconut cake (just a slice) YESTERDAY. daaaang Michelle! LOL
I'll be walking four miles after work today because dangit, I feel like SUCH a schlepp!
I promise tonight when I get home & after dinner that I'll catch up on everyone's news..
Jasmine!!! WHEN did you marry my first X-husband???? that's strange, I never thought he left NJ..... Then Sharon married him after you divorced him???? or was it vice-versa.
(and people wonder WHY I never remarried)!
Sharon, That murdering woman HAD A CHILD???? geeze, there's a vote for mandatory sterilization...at one time courtTV did a documentary of her, she's a total socio-path....I bet her husband sleeps with one eye open and a knife under the pillow....(that's just an old sicilian saying)
I'm feeling much less sore today and even exercised for 20 mins....I hate losing momentum which causes loss of motivation.
Sharon, I hope your surgery goes well and you have less pain, better use of your arm, I'm sure you spoke at length with your orthopod, he/she knows best and is an arm/hand specialist? Maybe your son will tell DD and I'm sure she's compassionate. I hope you have a quick recovery and fast PT road to full use....you have MY permission to eat ice-cream (for medicinal purposes of course)
I won't complain about my snowfall here any more....I detest the cold weather, it makes me itchy, dry and chapped....I don't think I would last in the North.....I'm too *fragile*
Sorry Jasmine about the ex. I would be so frustrated. My dh goes to court again Monday about the ex and we don't even know what for! Just got a notice to appear. You get so immune to it most of the time and then furious.
Sharon - People were posting on another thread for the valentines challenge. I had a goal to lose 8 pounds from Jan 1 to Feb 14 and I lost 3. I just lose sooooo slowly, but you know it's still a loss. I think I will try to lose the other 5 by St. Paddy's day. Do you have a goal you would like to join me by that day? Just let me know.
Tomorrow evening a group of my new colleagues and I are going out for dinner and dessert at one of the homes. It's a group that's been meeting for awhile and they invited me. I was very honored. Still have the bug though and not 100% but nothing compares to how bad I felt earlier this week so I won't complain!
My youngest was home for the second time this week. I took him to the dr. today and he has an ear infection along with a monster cold! He looks so miserable. He is actually 12 but he is so tiny and looks like he's 8 and I just have this urge to protect him from everything. We have meds now so it should get better.
Well over a month ago my dr. made me an appointment to see an oncologist sp? because by thyrogloublin is 117 when it is suppose to be under 10. I have way too much protein but the general dr doesn't know what it means. Well my appointment is next Thursday and I get a message today saying that they need to cancel because the dr. will be gone and to call my regular dr to see what to do!!!??? What! I understand schedules and all, but what I don't understand is that they didn't try to reschedule, they told me to call my own dr. I'm so frustrated, I have been really waiting for this appointment and now I don't know when or who I will see.
Anyway it's after 10 p.m. here and my bed time is 9 p.m. I'm still at work, but wanted to check on everyone before I left. Have a good night.
Hi everyone, don't you love those X's they never seem to get out of your life, (till they die, like mine did) then they screw there kids with the insurance money and give it to one, when there is three of them. Hate is a good word to describe them, although I could still think of other unprintable one's.
Stopeating Like you said, a loss is a loss, I didn't know about the other thread, anyhow I don't even know what I weighed Jan. 1st or so, so I would be cheating if I put down a weight loss, I am back up to 230, not surprised, can't seem to stop the nibbling, I know I have to lose, for my knee surgery and I want to be much thinner for my daughter's wedding, just can't seem to get my head in the game again. I didn't go to water aerobics today as I feel like I am getting a cold dh has one and even though were sleeping seperately he tends to breath on me, helping me with the computer, whatever. I can't afford to get one as I have to visit my Dad and he can't afford to be coughing with his sore back. (As if I am the Almighty and can prevent it, anyhow).
Stopeating, you should not still be at work, if you continue working overtime the will come to expect it and unless you are drawing a huge salary or get time off or paid for this, don't do it, you will catch up eventually. I am talking from experience here and in the place I worked they did not realize I was doing it and did not even appreciate it when they found out. I am sorry your son is sick, as for protecting him, I understand completely. Last year when my son was bringing his friends to the cottage and I was already there, he warned them to be aware I was over-protective of him (he is only 28), what can I say, he is my baby.
That is not right about your dr. appt. they should of asked you to call them and rescheduled the appt. I would call them and see what they say.
Marbleflys, you are funny! The husband is also in jail and protective custody at that, because of his crimes. They figure when he lived in Toronto he had been raping women for years. Nice Aye! Why would they do a documentary on a person as evel as her? They did a movie too, I think it flopped as it sure did not go over here and I heard very little about it since it came out last summer. One of the girls that was killed, her father came in to my dh's work quite often, he was a salesman, poor guy was so broken, I would not know how to go on after something like that.
Thanks for your thoughts on the arm, the guy I am seeing is one of the top men in here and since he concurred with the other top notch fellows, I have to trust what he is going to do will be the correct procedure for me, this is an unusual case for them so I am told. I have to have faith and I do, just a little self concious in regards to the results, but will wait and see. I really do just want use of my arm again, it is getting worse and harder to pick up even a pillow. My son and daughter are having dinner next week, just the two of them, so he might tell her about the surgery if he thinks of it. He plays everything pretty cool, but sometimes finds it hard to keep a secret.
SD Gal good you got on again, slip ups are the norm, your human.
Where is Jasmine and Sumi I wonder, I miss when they don't post.
I have just had some bad news, my mother's sister passed away tonight. Again I will have to tell my Dad, He just talked with her on Sunday, it is going to be a shock. She was a real sweetheart too! We will miss her dearly. I last saw her in June, the day before a wedding, she knew I was self-consious about my weight and when I was leaving the hospital, she called me back and shook a finger at me and said "Remember", we had talked about my weight often and she said it doesn't matter, you matter.
Wow, everyone must be having a really busy weekend! Well I'm included in that category also, but I did want to drop in and say hi. I put in 8 1/2 hours yesterday and I'm going in today. Last night and today I'm working on financial aide forms. My husband is cleaning the house, doing laundry, and taking the kids to get a haircut. Bless him!
Sharon - I am salary at my new job so I don't get paid for working over, but at my old job they are paying me hourly to train the new person, so I am making extra money for the last two weeks. I like that! But I'm also glad it will end in two more weeks! The really great thing is they hired a great friend of mine to take my place and I don't mind helping her at all. She will officially begin tomorrow, but I worked with her yesterday and it's going to be great! We think so much a like.
Well my dh is going to court again tomorrow! Our attorneys are actually arguing what the first official day of school is. Her attorney says it's the last day of August no matter when it starts, ours says no it's the day school starts. Our attorney was so ticked that he is going to court and not even charging us! Have you ever heard of that??? It has gotten that bad.
Anyway, I need to do my taxes today so I can fill out the fed financial aid form. But I did get two scholarships done and need my son to sign them so they can be off in the mail. There is light.
I haven't lost any weight, but I haven't gained either. I ate horribly for a week, but then I got the stomach flu and it balanced out.
I will do better when I add exercise to my diet again. I will March 1st. Somebody offered me an elliptical for free but I have to haul it out. They only used it a few times and it wasn't for them. I will try to get a couple of guys to help me.
Here I am folks. Sorry for disappearing again. It's been a hectic last couple of weeks. I GOT A APARTMENT!!! They are repainting and repairing right now and we (me and my friend Felicia) can move in this weekend! I'm so excited. I still have to come over to my mama's house at least weekly to get on the computer and do laudry for now but Mama doesn't mind. I definitely know my eating will get MUCH better when I'm in my own place. I got into a car wreck this morning. This heifer ran a light and smashed into my mama's car on the passenger side. I was the only one in the car, thank god. Stupid woman.
JasonsLeaa, fabulous to hear about the new apartment, it will be great and you and your friends will love it. Sorry about the accident this morning, hope you are okay. Sorry it was your mom's car, I am sure you feel bad. But it wasn't your fault, so I am sure she will understand.
Stopeating, I was too upset before I left for Detroit to answer your comment, my concern was the fact you had the flu and went to work due to the fact it was a new job and you were feeling better, but it seemed to me from what you said, not 100 %. I was concerned you were working late at this time and you mentioned it was past your bedtime. I was answering to that and thinking it was the new job, not still they old one, which I did know you had made a commitment to training a new person for your old job. I am not rich, I do understand how making more money can help you out in a number of ways, especially with college and graduation coming up. So please now I hope you will be able to understand my comments! I have always been a compassionate person and care about others.
I am home from my aunts funeral, which even for her age and disease (Parkinson's, which my Mom and her brother also died of complications from) it was difficult, each diocease does it differently, this was the hardest I had ever been through. At least my aunt, unlike my mother, only lost her voice a week before, my Mom had been at least a year, if not longer, as well as she choked on everything she ate. Not good memories, when there mind is there, but they can only look with there eyes. This is just to difficult tonight and I am sure not something others want to read!
I did so so with my food, it is hard on the road and being in a motel. No exercise since last week sometime. Water way too low.
Maybe tomorrow will be better.
My daughter's surprise party is this weekend, her finance` and I are doing our best to have what she would like for a party. She is still saying she wants to come here on her birthday, for dinner, that one would be hard to do considering I will be in the hospital and hopefully re-covering from my arm operation. I am planning on my son or husband delivering dinner to her at her place, later in the afternoon. I keep listening to her and what she would like for dinner and just saying, yes dear! Usually a husband statement! I want her to enjoy her birthday and her day without worrying about me, she was there for the first one of these operations to support her dad and me, this time I think her brother can do it.
Oh and dh wanted choc. chip muffins so i snuck in some walnuts too! 
or was it vice-versa.
