good mornig, I'm here for the Morning paper.
Summer-Girl you either went to bed way late, or got up a bit earlier than me. I bet it is awesome there with the colors of the leaves starting to change. I'm with you snow vs hurricane, snow wins. However, by the end of January we will be having enough, and then we will be wanting Summer. I'm here to kick you in the butt. You can do this girl. You are the only one that can do it. I was thinking this mornig while exercising, If i don't like something, it's up to me to change it. I can't make it excuses, I can't explain why I haven't done something, I need to do it. I need to stop passing the buck, sort of speaking. You can do this. A step is a step, no matter how big or small, one step in the right direction to a healthy being in the end will reap great rewards. That goes for anything. You don't like what's in you bank account change it, you don't like the way the yard looks, change it. You don't like the dishes not being done, do them. I know we can only do so much in a day, however, it can roll over to the next, or stop complaining about it and do it. (This is all for me). It is up to us. So there. There is your kick in the butt.
Eleni-hugs and
I'm praying for you, and your family. Hang in there. I hope you are being as active as the doctors will allow right now. Becareful not to overdo anything, specially outside in the heat.
Nita-Prayers, everything will work out. Glad it was just the shed and not your house like others have had to endure.
There are more tropical storms and hurricanes out there. Lets just say a few prayers that they don't get near florida. K
A friend from work sister, had a lot of house damage. Leakage. One picture, you can see the water just coming through the door window. Others show ceiling damage. The lost the outer roof they have on the house. I guess they had two on it. There boat got washed up to shore a lot more than it was sorta speaking. But they are ok. They had left Florida to get out of the hurrican path.
Penny-how has weigh ins been going. You haven't updated the September weigh-in in about 2 weeks. Hope you are back on track. I know you have been busy, but hopefully to busy to overeat, and not to busy for Mommie time. Exercise. When you can.
Susie-Bummer about the lady from work. Doesn't seem like these days anyone is exempt from the firing. Not sure the circumstances, but i'm sure it's quite because some people are thinking "wow" she had 18 years here, who could be next. I'm sure it blew people away when they did it.
Sherri-Hope all is well. Miss ya
me. Work went well. I had 1047 emails to clean out, plus another 69 in a hold folder from when I got my new computer. Wow, took me about 3.5 hours to go through them, and of course, send the jokes that I could. Then I had to go back and read the work related ones. Then I had to set up my desktop, and try and figure out the new system. I actually got 1.5 jobs done yesterday. We were also having server problems.
The house is a wash out shorta speaking. Our realitor had been there in May, when we were getting the rain. There was about 14 inches of rain in the basement. A lot of water damage he said. Since we are trying for the fha loan now, and refinance again in about a year, that wouldn't pass inspection. I'm hoping the one i want will. One of two that I like. I emailed him on them, plus we have other options. I don't think one of the houses is on the list he gave me.
First day back, good. I needed adult conversation. Garret was fussy for the sitter, but Him, me, and brandon, have this sinus thing going on now. He is having a hard time breathing. My nose is raw from all the blowing, and brandon, keeps loosing his voice. Plus the nose thing.
I'm exercising at work for 30 min. Then I'm doing either a 4 mile, a 1 mile or a 30 min work out in the morning. Saturdays I want to try and get two of the workouts in. I was able to lose 3.5 pounds yesterday, (at weigh In) and when I got on the scale today it was down another 2 pounds from yesterday morning. I will take a pound. or a .25 of a pound at this point. I want to get to certain goals that I have in mind.
Well it's time for Brandon to get up.
you all take care. And remember. Exercise increases motabolism. Weight training is good to add in there.
Tuesday 9/14
Good thing Ivan isn't near you.
NO!.....The FAT feeling!!!!!! How are we gonna 'jump start' ourselves????? Anybody got some pointed steel toed boats????? 
Good luck on getting a house. The prices are reasonable back there, so that is positive.
We're rapidly approaching the end of the year with all the temptations that come along with it. Just go to a Walmart, you'll see all the commercialism of the approaching Holidays. Can't believe the Christmas stuff is on shelves already. 
Have a great day....and I will strive to get some form of exercise in today. Who's gonna join me on that???? 
Good moring Tuesday
Yep, I go to bed late, it is my only alone time. As soon as I get up in the morning, I'm busy with dd. Enjoy your 'adult' time away from the kids and get you and the family better soon. I dread school time...and dd's teachers are already getting sick. I hold my breath because I know she will get sick and it gets really intense around here.
