Good Morning

Hello everyone. I've been up since about 545, kind of by choice. Anyways, I slept okay I guess. It's getting colder or I'll say cooler around here. So we're staying indoors today and doing school and maybe some cleaning.

Well, dh never apologized which I knew he wouldn't, but he got over his fit and is fine now. He's still upset that it's too wet for us to do anything on the house today. We're hoping for a pour on Saturday now, it's suppose to be beautiful and being the weekend we may have extra help around here.

Geri, wtg on the expedition. I'm getting something soon. We won't all fit in my jeep when the baby comes and I've had it almost 3 years so it's time for us to upgrade. Not sure what we'll look for. Dh HATES, HATES, HATES mini vans and refuses to get one so either a full size van or an SUV with the third seat in it. Whatever we can afford.

Michelle, I'm not crafty at all so that's not an option, LOL!!! But I have some time so I think it'll be okay. I've been trying to get some of my Christmas shopping done early so I think I can swing something, now it's just finding the right thing. Anyways, thanks for your offer.

Hello Penny, Spryng, Mel, Jill, Jaymi, Jeniqua, Sherry, Amy, Angel, Chris, Deana, Steph and all you other sahm's out there.
I'm sure I'll be around later.

Hello ladies!

I'm pretty happy today because dh is coming back from the UK tomorrow! I missed him so much! And I was bored out of my mind, so between the boredom and missing him, I haven't really been sticking to my plan of "use this time to focus on my fitness and nutrition regimen" while he was gone

Anyway, today I was good (so far ): I have been eating properly, I did my pilates, cardio and upper body strength training and now I'll go downstairs and fix up the house so it's all nice when my sweetie comes

Have a nice day everyone!

Elisa, so happy for you. How long has it been since you've seen dh? Have lots and lots of fun.

Penny, I'm about 2 hours from Shreveport. The rain they're calling for today is scattered and they called for scattered last night and we didn't get any so I'm hoping the rain stays away.

Gotta get breakfast done.

[B]GOOD MORNING LADIES!!![/B]

Crystal: Hope the rains stay away. I know what you mean about getting cooler. We'll be lucky to hit 50 today and it's cloudy and dreary. Andrew is on a field trip to the zoo so he'll be out in it all day....ugghh!!!

Penny: Are you prepared?!?.......another 2 pounds gone this week! Woohoo, I'm in the 220's now. I don't think I'll make my mini goal of 220 in the next 11 days, but I think I can get to 225 by then. I'm not going to update my mini goal though. I will set a new one for New Years. I have a question on the tickers, I think I'm doing something wrong. When you update it to show a change, do you simply type it in the line on the siggie or do you have to go and make it again each time it changes? If I just type it in it won't show up.

Elisa: Glad dh is coming home. Was he there on business? You can get back on plan! If you were so bored you should have been here with us, posting each day . Haven't heard from you for a while. Enjoy time with dh!

Chris: WTG on the excercise yesterday! Your friend's house sounds really cool. Do you work again today? Hope the kids are all feeling fine.

Steph: Have a good workout with the trainer today. Do you work again today? Have a great OP day!

Geri: Woohoo on the Expedition! . on pointing that scale in the right direction I knew you could get back on track I'm waiting for dh to wake up so we can go vote and check on tires for his truck then he can come home and I'm going to Curves to see about that coupon. I really, really hope it's a good discount and I can afford to join. The monthly fee is no problem, it's the startup. Regular is about $150, they have been running 1/2 off, so still $75 plus first month is like $112 to start. But one way or another I will get started for my birthday!

to everyone else. Hope everyone has a great OP day today! Alone we are plump.....together we are thinning!!! I know it sounds kinda dumb, but hey....I'm in a really good mood this morning! Or as Kristin would say....I'm such a dork!

TTYL

Good morning ladies. It is beautiful here. The sun is out and it's supposed to be in the 60's. I meet with the trainer at noon so I am pumped for a really good workout. I have to go to work at 6 tonight so I hope I'm not too sore.
Crystal- hope the weather gets better for you and glad you slept okay.
Penny- have fun at the gym today. I know you can make your goal.
Elisa- hi!I don't think we've met yet. I'm Steph, married with 1 son, Brandon age 6 1/2, a daughter, Kayla age 4, and a stepdaughter, Ashley age 10. I just joined this group last week and I'm loving it. Hope to get to know you better.
Deana- Way to go on the 2 lbs. Hope Curves works out for you. I used to belong there, but the hours at the one near me just weren't convenient for me, but it is a great workout.
Well ladies, I need to get some stuff done around the house before I go to the gym, so I'll talk to you later.Bye!
Steph

hi, everyone. Welcome to all the newbies. I am Ricci, sahm to two boys,6 and 4, and am going to cosmotology school at night.
Sorry I have been MIA. Just been busy. It sounds like everyone is doing great.
Michelle, thanks for organizing the swap. Geri, way to go on the expedition. Spryng, I know its late, but congrats on the job. I know there's more to get personal with, but I have slept since the last few threads.
Well, I went and voted this moring when I took Eric to school. I had to wait in line for almost 30 min. Its never been like that before.
School is going good. I got a 98 on a test I had to take last night. The test was over germs and bacteria and all that stuff. Up next, the systems of the body. Luckily my teacher is giving us two weeks for that test.
I am only 5 lbs away from my goal weight. I am so excited. I haven't decided if I will set another goal or not.
Hi to crystal,ginny,kristen,jill,steph,chris, and everyone else. Have a great day.

Good morning,
Just checking in. I finished 30 of aerobis, so now I'm "resting" (yah, resting my hands on the keyboard in front of me).

Penny-How was your trip? I see you got to get your pic taken with Rita! Some day I will meet someone famous.

Deana-WTG (I'm doing a happy dance for you)! You are doing awesome. How's those baby chicks btw?

Crystal-Good morning! Now why on earth would you want to get up that early in the morning. I'm like comatose until at least 7. I'm so not a morning person.

Elisa-Glad your dh is coming home. You must be too excited. Well have a great time!

Steph, Geri, Leigh, Ricci, Michelle, Melissa, Jill, Spryng, Jeniqua, Kathy, Cindi, and the rest of you....GOOD MORNING!!!

Hey did Spryng start her job this week?

Chris, I'm opposite of you. I'm a zombie if I sleep too late. I don't like when any of the kids get up early with me, but this time change has made them get up earlier. But I LOVE getting up early. I'm definitely a morning person. I hate when I sleep until the kids get up. It's automatic..."I'm hungry, I'm thirsty." Or fights or I want to watch this but the other doesn't. It's chaos. I have much better days and tend to be in much better moods if I get up early. I like to get up around 600 but I don't mind 530ish.
Anyways, we'll be starting school here shortly, gotta go.

Afternoon Chicks!
I start my job Monday...I am excited, yet anxious. I am trying to get my duckies in a row this week, so it will be easier.

The only problem I have is getting ds18 to school, he takes just a couple of classes later in the day...my dh said he is 18 and responsible for himself now, but that is just so hard for me to accept. DH said he can't afford a car, but could afford a bike, LOL!! Is he mean, or am I just babying my baby???

I just found out that the owner of the school I will be working at also owns the GYM!!!!!! I get a nice discount now!! yipppppppeeeeeeee, now I really will join!!

I will keep up with you all, but not sure how often I can get personal with you all after next week, so don't take it personal...Okay???

I will be back to do that, I have a fight to break up here between my ds17 and dd4, do you believe it???

My priorities are all screwed up! LOL I don't know what's going on. Well anyways I wish I could get personal.. but no time. I need to do something! So talk with you all later~

Hi all of you Mommies!

Penny thanks for the welcome, I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Spryng- I suppose I have a full life, maybe not so interesting. We are open to all the children that God wants to give us. No, we don't use B.C. !! Maybe we'll have more, but I'm gettin' up there. It certainly isn't up to me, God doesn't give us more than we can handle. Even if we don't think so at the time. Wait till you get to know me better...I have stories!
No, we don't have alot of money, but I've become a great "passive income" manager! Truthfully, 20 years ago, if someone would have told me I'd be mommy to 10, I would have said they're crazy...now I am.

Crystal- I'm with you! I love getting up early, it's gret "me" time. Hope you have a wonderfully day homeschooling!

Dh changed shifts over the weekend, 4 weeks days, and 4 weeks afternoons.
So I have to keep everyone quiet till 8:30-9:00. Yeah right! Plus I have to cook two big meals instead the usual one. Plus, I'm sure I'm not the only one, I can't get any of my work done when he's here. ARRRGH!

But Hey! Down one more pound. Not Big, but I'm going one pound at a time.
If I look at the wieght that I have to lose, I'll cry.
#3ds said over the weekend, "What's this obsession with wanting to be skinny? I don't want you to be, I like you the way you are!"

Obsession? Hey my name ain't Mary-Kate! If I were obsessed with being skinny, I certainly wouldn't be my weight. Grrrr to #ds!
See! They don't get it! I want to go to their weddings, hold my grandkids, and do things with them! Selfish brats! They just want me to keep cooking
for them! BTW they are all skinny! Even DH, woe is me.

Well hi to every one of you! I hope you all have a great day ahead, I'll check in in a little while.
