Daphne you won't see Idol tonight either. They are showing it tomorrow instead due to the "speach" tonight. I think it's just more unuseful political moves by bush against kerry if you ask me. It's not time for state of the union and even if it were, it would be more bashing. Glad I didn't become a politician.

It was my SIL who's losing weight and I haven't seen her but she lost by eating 20 grams of fat or less a day and no red meats. If you're following a low carb plan daphne, you eat all the cheese you want cause most of it is carb free. There's an excuse for every plan.

Is your Pilates the Windsor pilates? I did it for about 7 weeks and didn't lose or change my body at all. I didn't quit for those reasons but because I got off track with our trips we took. I haven't gotten back on it. Camping was real well and no rain but it's rained the whole time since we've been home. It's dark out there now. No outside plans though so I'm ok with that.

I have the Denise AUastin Pilates for everybody Disc. I bought it at a garage sale for a dollar. I am going to go watch it and see how it is. I also have a TaeBo tape that I have to watch. I got them for a dollar each as well. One tape is the instructional video and the other is the work out tape. It is the one with Billy Blanks.
I had that low carb pizza and it didn't agree with my tummy. I keep having to go to the bathroom.
Chat laters!

Oh Dana I went to Dollar Tree today and got some more card stuff. They had some cute cut outs there and they have like 30 thinks in a package.

Gayle I want to say first and foremost that I am so SORRY for overlooking your birthday. I know we were gone last saturday but I could have brought it up sometime before or even after. I hope you enjoyed it but again, I sincerely apologize. I know you never let ours slip by without noticing.

Things have been so crazy around here this week. First there's an issue with Kevin's legs. They hurt him so bad nearly all the time. He's practically addicted to aspirin and tylenol. He called a Dr. yesterday who is in-network with our new insurance and they are suppose to mail him some "new patient" papers and then he has to make an app't. I've been reading about a lot of serious things it can be and it all resorts to either medication and bedrest (being off of them) or even surgery if it's actually his back and not his legs. I don't know what we will do if he can't work.

As for the issues with logan and school, we haven't had anymore problems with it but the school board was notified and I was told that they were investigating it and would give me a call. The principal was out of school all day yesterday so I don't know if maybe they met then or what but thank goodness I haven't had to exchange "eyes" with that man this week.

I will be gone most of wednesday to our state capital (Columbia) with laken, a blind friend of hers and her mom and our vision teacher. It's a conference/evaluation for visually impared students. I hope to learn a lot about things that are available for these kids educations.

Our church is having it's huge yearly drama production and have put it on 4 times already. They were suppose to do it lastnight and tonight as well. We all got ready and went lastnight and after then working for 30 minutes, they announced it was cancelled. They had no lights. They have a milllion dollar sound and light system and something happened. They are suppose to work on it today and try again tonight but I don't plan on going. I wanted kevin to see it with me this year cause he's never seen it.

Last night as I was walking in the church, one of the tiny straps on my sandals had broken. Both of my grandmothers in the last 3 weeks have given me about 30 pairs of shoes. Most of them never worn but the thing with most of them are they are so old that they fall apart.

Brett's sugars have been in the 50's at school prior to lunch and rather than treating him and allowing him to go to recess and then lunch like the others, they send him to the nurse. First of all, they aren't following our diabetic school care plan that was developed over the summer which is a reason why we should have met this new nurse. He checks his sugar at 11:30 and then they go to recess and straight to lunch at 12:10. He's not suppose to walk to the nurse (that eats up more sugar). He's really suppose to go on and get his lunch. I may have to talk to someone there about that. He's only having these lows on days that he has PE which is first thing in the mornings 2 days a week. If he would just remind me of that, we can cut back on insulin by only a unit and be fine.

These next 2 are pretty biggies. UPS delivered a box yesterday that contained $100 worth of NASCAR stuff. Like 10 hats, and 12 pairs of earrings or something like that. It evidently was sent to the wrong person but it has kevin's name and address on the box. I don't know how that happened but we've never ordered anything like that so I don't know how our address was on it. We're not sure what to do with it but DH says if it stays here a week, then it's his to do with what he wants to.

Brett ordered $27.99 worth of stuff through a catalog of Yugioh mess. That's just a childs collecting thing that comes on tv if you're not familiar with it. Anyway, the check was cashed back on march 2. I ordered this for him in feb. I've contacted the company via email that it was mailed to and they never got it. After faxing them the check, it was cashed at Bank of America and they only have a Bank One account. It wasn't even endorsed. They told me to take it to my bank which I did and they couldn't help really but said to take it to Bank Of America here in town and they could tell us who's account it was on. They said that the B.O.A. bank was in deep trouble taking a check with no endorsing on it. Well I will try to take care of that monday but it looks like someone cashed it for personal reasons and we never got anything.

Hi everyone I am here. Sorry for not posting sooner had a long rough weekend. I was honestly ready to walk out on Jason and the kids. I just get sick of life here at times. I was stressed way to far and had some nice ole stress eatting going on. I am up 3 pounds as of yesterday. I am however back on track today. I wanted to join Curves but I don't have a babysitter for the kids in the Summer and refuse to pay for time i can't go. I still have to look into the Y and look into LiteWeights 4 Women. It is a small gym for women only.
Gayle I am so happy that you are having a blast being so social! Happy Belated Birthday and i am so horrified that I didn't realize it and get you your card out! Please forgive from the bottom of my heart.
Deborah I am so sorry for all of your woes that you have been having. I am thankful that BJ did get a house finally. I forget what is the reason that he Dad lives with them? I would not want a parent mine or Jasons living with me! How does she handle that? How is work going today? Are you still going to OE?
Dana how have you been? I am shocked that the school is not following the medical plan. Well I guess that I really am not all that shocked after all that I ahve gone thru with the school system. I can't belive the camping fees that you have!I am going to have to see what ours are now.
I will post more later today. Hope y'all have a super de duper day!
Daphne

(((((((((Where are you all))))))))))))))

Hey ladies!
I really Blew it today! I had 2 slices of and 4 for lunch. Not to mention grapes, salad, and strawberries. They decide to have Admin Appreication day at work and had lunch for us...of course I was left cleaning up the mess. The pizza was so good, it was pesto pizza with almonds (sounds weird...but taste devine). It was probably a million calories though.

On another note...I have a major headache from Darcie, she calls me from her friends cell phone and want to go with her to Jack-n-box and they would take Joseph. But, she doesn't have any money and I didn't want her to go and mooch off of other people. Plus take her Brother along to mooch too. It just pissed me off that I am suppose to let her run off after school. She was whining and crying because she has to go home after school and do housework and watch Joseph. But the truth of the matter is that she doesn't go home and watch him. Every day after school she goes to track while Joseph stays at home by himself, then I come and pick him up for his fencing or karate before she even gets home. Then she is doing homework (or suppose to be) until I get home at 6:20. Last night she wasn't even done with home work and I actually was the one up till 11:30 last night printing out and editing her work.

I am just so mad that she feels so abused, but if you all saw our house, you would definately know that no one (Especially not her) is staying home cleaning it all day!

And here she has a book report due tomorrow and church tonight and yet she wants to goof off all afternoon with her friends.

Okay enough ranting...I have to get back to work.
Everyone POST SOON!!!

Red-up??? say what???? Gayle you are a crack up! I am here just been really sick. I have a bad chest cold and no energy this week. I will post more tomorrow just wanted to say hi and buh bye for now! I will post tomorrow and comment to all of you,
Daphne

I've never heard of "red up" either. I can tell you the inside of my "lower" lip is red-up though cause I bit it just a minute ago while eating and it hurts. It sure was chilly here this morning and they are threatening for frost in the mountains tonight and we don't live that far from there. I don't like it frosty or real hot either.

I had to take my dog in for her booster shot this morning and went to my bank. I have been in a run around about that check that someone intercepted in the mail and basically was told this morning that it had been too long to do anything about it. None of that was my fault. Besides the time that they have been chasing me in circles, I didn't get the check until late march with my bank statement and then the order form I mailed it to said to give 6 to 8 weeks for delivery. I gave it 4 and then contacted them only to find out that they never received or cashed the check. My bank tells me that I need to take it up with the company. How do you do that if they didn't get the check? Maybe because it was written to them then they can claim fraud? I'm confused about it all. I emailed our states check fraud agency earlier. I'll see if they can make sense of it for me.

We went bowling lastnight with all of the school aged kids who have disabilities. It was kinda fun to get out like that. I didn't want to get up this morning though so it would have been more fun on a friday night. My cousin who lives nearly behind me had her baby yesterday. It's an almost 7 pound girl. I think maybe she will come home tomorrow cause they were wanting to tie her tubes. She said it was too much of a "bad" pregnancy to want a 3rd one.

Gayle don't feel bad about your money. I am and have been in that same boat for a long time now. Kevin has no clue that I didn't send in his car payment for march and april's is due tomorrow. I will try to send in one this week though. He only had like 4 to 5 payments left on it. Have you thought of doing decorations for parties or interior decoration for an income? You are so talented with taste for that.

Kevin goes to the dr. on thursday to see if they can help with his painful legs. It doesn't bother him everyday. In fact these last 2 have been fine but he has to work today and tomorrow and I bet he will hurt when he comes in this evening.

Deb my kids are the same way with feeling like they never get to do anything. They think they are adults. Sad to say but since brett has had diabetes, he doesn't ask to go places anymore. Not unless it's something I can do with him. He doesn't trust his care with anyone else just yet and that's good enough for me. Now logan wanted money for the book fair today. They don't understand that they had a book fair in the fall and bought stuff and then they had spring pictures made that cost $25 each child last week and this is the first time for spring pict. I wasn't prepared for that. Is there a pill you can swollow to eat stress? That's why we're big cause we are eat up with this and that. I was a solo vacation.

Daphne I hope you're feeling better by now. Have you talked to ann lately? She's been on my mind recently and hope that she's ok. Let us know if you talk to her. Are you still into your cards? I need to make some more. My stock is really low now. I had about 10 auctions going last week and this one lady won 8 of them. I'm waiting on payment so I can mail them to her.

Well hate to type and run but I have house work to do and supper to plan and I leave in about 2 hours for that all too exciting school pickup. NOT!
