Hi Chicks!
Sorry I've been away for so long. I check on you every day. Right now, I'm a little stressed out. We're experiencing TS Fay The good news is: We still have power . Our house is still standing This thing is FINALLY beginning to move! The bad news is that even though we're experiencing a lull right now, the weatherman says were not out of the woods yet and we already have some water damage . The bedroom where this computer is in the front of the house, and the wind is blowing in this direction. The rug is damp about a foot out from the baseboard (wet in some places). I don't know what happened . The ground is saturated, but we're not flooded. I don't think that our insurance will cover this.
Leenie: What cute pups! Are you keeping any?
Sassy: I'm glad to hear that your DH is eligable for unemployment. I hope he'll find a job soon.
Spoz: I'm glad your birthday was happy.
Mom of 4: I know you have a lot on your plate. I've been praying for you, even though I'm just lurking. Being a pastor's wife is a hard job.
Hope: Getting up at 4:30 is the pits. I got up with my DH every day when he was working the 6-3 shift; at least I could go back to bed !
Good luck with classes and changing careers!
Amarie: Congrats on your new home! The setting up part is challenging, but it's so worth it!
Buddly: Have a good time!
Judo Mom: Good to see you here..and praise God for your good news!
Hiya - just a quick stop to say hi and then I'm gonna bike to campus.
Hope - I'm in Oregon now, and will be getting my PhD. I'll be studying all kinds of fun stuff like econ, political sci, math, and management.
Spoz - it was about 700 miles from where I last lived - not too far, but it sure seemed like it when I was driving.
Mof4 - Ah hun, that does sound like a terrible day! I am always amazed how you can have so much left to give your foster daughter when you're already up to your eyeballs with your biological family. You are such a dear. Seriously though, the bus engine blew up? That really stinks.
Welcome back Joanne - nice to see you!
Well, gotta run or I'll end up turning into a hermit and not leaving this house --- ever!
Toodles!
Amarie

argghhh.... yeah bus blew up?? thats what i say. I just found out that i am probably not going to get help with food now so i really am going to have to babysit cause i dont want to really be bound to a job with as much that i have to do so yeah...well a good thing is i found another mother at the park my kids were playing with her kids then we started talking right before she left. She also has four and wanted to home school but her husband said wait cause he was not sure she had enough time...she is also a christian so hopefully we can keep in contact. Ok well i gotta go...lata
Laundry is going to drive me to insanity...my dh was digging for socks in the laundry room and knocked my clean clothes on the floor and mixed them with the dirty...then the kids will take a shirt off they only wore for a little bit and thru stuff in the laundry they haven't worn...the lil girls are so mess they have to be changed usually twice a day...teenagers feel the need to wear three to four shirts a day....arghhh...then i have pull teeth to get people to help me clean the clothes that THEY DIRTIED.....Laundry is something stupid but i want to go crazy over it....UGGGHHHh gotta go crack the whip on these kids...lata
Hi Girls. Happy Saturday, my last day and night of freedom.............Back to work tomorrow night. At least it will be my "Short Week".........
I have been so damn hormonal, it isn't funny. One minute I am happy and giggly like a freaking school girl, the next I am bawling my eyes out for no reason , then I snap and am angry........WTF?
My TOM just passed and it could come back at any given moment, with my PCOS that is a lovely side effect but here lately I dunno I feel like I am a crazy woman!!!
Anyways.........
I just got done watching a movie, "Just Friends" with Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart. Its about a guy who was overweight and was best friends with a girl who he was in love with who did not feel the same way about him, then he comes back later in life.......
OMG it took me back to my HS days. I had a friend a lot like that guy in the movie. Only instead of him being gaga over me, it was the reverse and he didn't see me in the same light, but we sure had a lot of good times together.........It reminded me of the girl I once was......I think I have forgotten about her. Actually I think I have buried her in all this fat. She was spunky, and not afraid to try new things. What happened to that girl? I mean I know we all get older and we change some, but what am I so afraid of???
I dunno. Figure this is the place to put all of this stuff...................Thanks for listening.
wow Sassy....that is soooo me...i used to be so stinking full of energy always doing crazy new things with my hair, confident in myself and now yeah it is completely all hidden under this fat....That is sad....but yeah i feel the same way.....back to my tons and tons of laundry..got some cleaning done today though!!! YAHH!!!
lol mof4 - laundry sucks! I really need to do some here at the new place, but I don't want to. I'm so sick of putting stuff away and trying to organize and trying to get everything updated! Ack!!!!!
well, anywho - gotta go. I am so sleep - I think I need to adapt to my new allergies.

YAHH!!!
Yup me too. I wasn't afraid to try anything when I was in HS. I just was FULL of life, now I feel like I am "Out of Life", ya know??? I used to always be out and doing things, even if I was just at home, I'd always be outside doing something or even inside doing something...........Now I only see the outside when walking outside to go to work and then vice versa, walking outside of work to go home. lol. I am truly a "Vampire" not only in the sense of my working hours, but I am so white it isn't funny. At least when I was in HS I had a little color...........Amazing what this fat does. It totally consumes you, it swallows you whole and it takes forever to climb out of it..............But ya gotta keep climbing, right????
I'm having the worst day. First I had no sleep last night, I'm staying at my fathers place and all last night all kinds of chaos kicked off when his sister phoned to tell him my grandfather was dying in hospital. He used to beat my dad when he was little so him and my step mum started arguing about that. Therefore, NO sleep.
Then this morning my grandpa died. I didnt get to say goodbye to him because my father wouldnt take us. I'm upset about that.
We're going to this stupid 5 hour gig tonight in a muddy field to see three bands I dont like. (My wonderful b day present, thanks dad). and I'm having a mega fat day. To beat that my step mom has been pressuring me to eat pasta before this gig all day, and I'm not hungry and I dont want to eat! She wouldnt leave me alone about eating pasta and I automatically said no - pasta dished unless controlled potions are HIGH in calories, but she insisted they werent. Anyway I at home eat 28 g of pasta which is an adult recommended portion, and then fll my plate with veg. So she gave me like at leat 500g of pasta AFTER I told her to half the portion size.
Now i feel even more sluggish and totally out of control of my life. I just cant stand people cooking for me or eating out because I'm religious about trying to get this weight off. Its stuff like that which drives me crazy and wander if the world is just out to sabotage my weight loss efforts. I just want to be back home with my mum and in bed.
I know its most likely blown out of proportion but I just like to feel like I have some reign on my own life & right now I dont.
So Sorry Chickies! Okay! I fell in a little bit of a funk for a few days...discussions with DH...got a virus...lost my "no vomit streak", it threw my food off for a day and that through my mood off for 2 days after that! On Friday I had an epiphany of sorts...I am finally doing something about my dog needs!!! I can't take it any more! I need to have some contact to soothe my soul! I also had a meeting with my Dr. on Tues and have started my taper off Prozac...I should be off them entirely in less than a month! Yay! But that means that I really have to be sooooo careful about my RR eating! It is crucial!! That is going really well though...and I am finally back to my elliptical workouts after a little hiatus... I am changing...my sugar sensitive recovery is opening me up in ways that I never dreamed possible. I went down to a dog grooming place on Friday...I have no experience...I haven't worked outside of the home since I was in the military before my 16 (almost 17) year old daughter was born...and I convinced them to try me out for a job they weren't even advertising they needed! Yeah, I am pretty damn proud of myself... I have a "working interview" on Tues...basically I go and they work me to death...see if I like it and they like me! If this turns into full time my days will seriously be crazy so you are just have to love me even if I can respond to you all like you deserve...okay? The weight is still hanging steady at 164...I am hoping that this going off the meds will get that moving because damn it...my jeans are tight!! It has to budge somewhere!!!
On that note, I have to get going because I have to go have a plain comfortable pair of jeans to wear for Tues... Soooo...
Luv luv Everybody!!!
I am still around...just can't post as much!!! Hugs to you all that need it so much!!!

Hi Chicks!
I'm so glad the last few days are over! , and Fay is out of the way! Every area of FL and most of South GA were affected . We have some water damage here in our front bedroom. Not from flooding..our 2 1/2 yr old structure seems to have a problem with a crack/cracks in the wall. I'm glad my DH has tomorrow off, because we're going to have to deal with this somehow! Thank God the damage is relatively minor .
Raven: Good for you getting off Prozac. Please let us know how your interview turns out!
Spoz: I'm sorry to hear about your Grandpa. Sounds like you've got an awful lot going on in your life right now.
Sassy: I don't even want to THINK about HS! I graduated before you were born!!
Right now, I'm a little stressed out.
