Default Beautiful Sunday

Well we didn't have a Thread yesterday, so I hope everyone was busy. I worked. Came home took a nap, went to a party, came home. Brandon got his first bloody nose yesterday at the party. They were playing football, and got hit in the nose, but i think it started bleeding because of the sinus stuff. Then when we came home he cut his finger somehow. Looks like lots of here, but wish it would come. I still show a gain on the scale here at home, so since my last tops weighing (counting that) looks like a 5 pound gain. This is not good. I feel like i've done worse before, and haven't gained. Maybe cuz i'm not writting anything down, or county points, i'm probably not getting enough in and the scale has paused. You when I was asking about programs and that we never see any. I've been getting all of mine off the internet. Well our secretary and I have taken on the job of going through the boxes that the old leader past on to the new leader. I guess there was 3 hugh boxes and that's not all of them. A lot of them are molded. Records from 1984 in there. Ways to win charms that the pakages were never opened, her old mail, her daughers old mail. I also was told that the new leader is kinda doing the same thing. They were at a workshop and the cordinator was showing them some papers and no one knows where they are.They asked the new leader and she said something like i might have those at home. her and i weren't able to go to the workshop. It also makes me that we have all these things for our group, and we don't see anything. No wonder we don't get anywhere in the group. The secretary that is going through the stuff till next week, when I can help her also found a paper on what our duties are. I haven't done much, she did find what her duties are and she hasn't been doing some of them. Such as attendance records. As far as I know we don't keep them. Unless the weight recorder is doing that. They also mentioned about measurements, and pictures, and the old leader whom is now the ***. weight recorder was assigned to do that, says all that is optional. She doesn't want any of this stuff. We are also having a bake sale to raise money for srd. I don't like that either. I asked if we were doing lowfat stuff and they said no. I will stand behind them, but I don't like it. It really doesn't make much since to me to have a bake sale with regular food for a weight loss management program. I've been searching for other ways to raise money, but there isn't much out there. I'll admit, I've been a little behind on things (i'm feeling a little lost lately with this stuff). But I know this too shall pass. Ok, i've babbled enough. I really think we all need a 30 hour day instead of a 24 hour day.
Sherri miss you, hoping you will be here today. I agree with you it doesn't make much since to send megan to a school that isn't teaching her anything. Have you thought about a reg preschool. the ones in our area wouldn't work because we would have to drop him off and pick him up. Kinda hard when i'm 50 miles away from him. That's kinda far to be away when he goes to kindergaten too, so not sure what we are going to do.
Eleni I hope you are ok. Christi thanks for thinking of me. I need all that I can get. Thinking of each one of you too.
Coco you hang in there. Everything will be ok. I looked up what your hubby has, and it sounds painfull. I have spurs on my back and neck, so i know how some of the pain feels. But it's never the same when it's your own.
Nita, hope everything is going well with you.
Summer hang in there you can get that weight off. You can get your statis back.
I really believe that it is meant for us to be thin, and healthy.
Wanttolosealot: cp: weigh to goal, and glad you are coming here.
We have no big plans today except to clean. That never works for us. You all take care, and talk to you all later

Default Sunday

Good Afternoon Ladies
I hope everyone is having a good weekend. Mine has been ok. I didnt get a chance to get on here yesterday. Our TOPS group had a blood drive in Honor of my Hubby. It went pretty well. We were trying to get 35 units of blood. Got 33. We had 41 people come to give. But 8 couldnt. But we were pleased with that. We had 7 first timers. I was one of them. The Red Cross lady said that was great. Got a bruise on my arm. Was going to get on last night. But was kinda tried. Then my sister-in-law and her son and girlfriend came up. So I didnt get on here. My guys are taking naps now. So I thought I would get on and check in. Not much happening here today. Hubby is kinda tried from yesterday. So just relaxing at home today. Been trying to rain off and on all day. But not amounting to much. Can sure use some rain. Theres a little creek near by and it is completely dried up. Our yard is turning brown. And the grass crunches when you walk on it. Well I guess I better get off here. Stop boring you ladies. I hope everyone is doing ok. I am thinking of each of you.
A TOPS PAL

It is a shame but many chapters end up like yours Wendy. With important stuff gone. You should always be able to go to your area captain or coordinator to get questions answered and materials you need. Two important books you need are the Guide for Weight recorder and chapter guide. These two are like my bibles. I use them all the time.Plus your rules and regulations and your bylaws. It is not unusually for people to not do all their duties and someone else do them. I am the leader but I do all the official paperwork for everything.Including yearly resumes. But it is a shame that you found moldy papers. I tried to put everything in Notebooks that I can. Boxes just don't work as well. Keeping track of everything is a lot of work but it should be done. But isn't unfortunately. If you need any help you can always ask Summer,Nita or myself. Or anyone you know that has been in TOPS for awhile and understands things.
We have had a nice afternoon. Went to a brunch tho and ate way too much. They had 5 school teachers who called themselves "The Brotherhood" who were singing acapelo(sp). I bought their CD. Sounds pretty good.Then we went to a 3D movie and that was cool. Then went to a game room and played a bunch of the games. Spent way too much money and ate too much. But I am going to start over tomorrow and really cut back and start getting this weight off again. A lot of my chapter have done badly this summer. But better days are ahead.
Love to all my special pals. Which means all of you
