THE 5 STAGES OF A FEMALE'S LIFE

1. To Grow Up

2. To Fill Out

3. To Slim Down

4. To Hold It In

AND

5. To **** With It

hehey - I needed that one today Leenie! cute!

did ya'll hear on the national news this morning about the almost 57 year old lady giving birth to twins! iiiiiiiiiiiii yiiiii yi yi can you imagine that! here is a link to the story WOW

http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/11/09/mom.56/index.html

SueMarie - if I was on my feet all day I would not be able to walk. I sit at this desk from 8 to 4 and really walking during lunch helps me feel better. Sometimes I think I should have gotten a job as an aerobics instructor or a mail man or something, then I would get some exercise while I was getting paid. I'm really glad that Brit is doing better. I know you are keeping an eye on her.

Leenie - how come hubby "had to" do the dishes last night? was he punished? or was it just his turn? hehe and good for you on that treadmill girl! YOU GO!

L - how many miles you doing today? 9 again? WOW you are one walking woman!

Tip - did your dh make it home? how is the car? are your cute workers still around? now you be good! no wonder Rog wanted you to come get him! he is one smart man! hehe

KO - I see that your highest weight and your current weight are 30 lbs different. How did you lose the 30 lbs girlie? and how come you don't have those 30 lbs on your ticker marker? and about the walking - I love walking - would rather get up early and do a Leslie Sansonne walking video, but I just haven't been able to get moving in the mornings. Do you happen to have any of her videos. You can do them right there at home in front of your tv when you want to.

Liz - ya sleepin this morning? how long are you working nights?

April - what are you doing this morning? I bet it includes coffee! YUM

hope everybody has a great day!

hugs,
cathy

Cin

Morning friends!
I am off to do some errands. The gertails(what the kids call them) have been eating the plastic cage. Time to get a new one before they get out! Yikes!

I did 4 this morning Cathy, I have time while the kids are at Karate to do another hour. I figure if I can't control the eating I might as well force the exercise..right? Slow work week too. I have a presentation on Friday and have done most of the rest of my work this week. It I work 3 days out next week. I like what I do and I am liking the time to focus on exercising.

So life is good. Happy with being an at home mon and taking on the extra projects. At the moment a friend and I are working on starting a company. We are working on a business plan and trying to figure out how much it will cost to start up and how many clients we would have to take on to make it work. We will see, I am excited about it.

So good to see you. i wish I had Cin to kick my Butt into gear to get back on some kind of eating plan.

Ok off to run errands and try to keep from shivering in this god awful winter like weather...
-L

Hiya kiddies

Cathy my DH didn't wash dishes, Cin's DH did b/c she can't stick her hand in water I think we should all run to the drug store and get splints for the holidays, just during dinner LOL we can blame it on Cin lolol jk

L, have fun running your errands, and your right, it is bitter cold out, you can almost taste the snow.

Cin enjoy walmart !!!

Lizzy

Regarding the lady who had the baby at 56 (just shy of her 57th birthday). Some times we have callings and I believe that this lady had just that. I give her credit for going thru w/her feelings, if thats what she feels the need to do then who am I to judge her. Just remember, God comes to us in all different ways, maybe this was her calling in life, who knows. Remember Sarah from the Bible, 90 years old.......

"Then the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'Will I really have a child, now that I am old?' Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh."

Sorry about being fairly absent as of late.......busy with school, and work...not much me time right now. This too shall pass.

I send that woman my sincere best wishes....how blessed she is to have two healthy babies.

I was at a rememberance day celebration at my dd6 's school........5 kids dropped at the end.....two hit their heads. Poor things.


HI everyone!

Hope all is well!

Gotta go study!

I'll check in later.

Eliz

Gracious gals.I was teasing..I did not even read the article.lighten up........yes she can have all the kids she wants! Go for it.

I dont know if at the age of ten I would want my Mother to be 67...but it isnt my business........

You all gave such serious comebacks... meant no harm!
Cin

hey ladies just a quickie b/c dh and i are in the process of getting the hosue ready for our party saturday. Today i was supposed to go to the city but my scooter had other plans so i went to dunkin donuts instead. it was all downhill from there! tommorrow and indeed tonight its a new day
CAthy i did neutrrasystem which is expensive and the food tastes like shoes i've been on meridia, the fatblocker (Which sorry if its tmmi Constipated me) and WW
I don't have it on my counter because It was 4 years ago and I don't know if that counts now.
I will post more later BACK TO WORK

Hi everyone

No school until Monday....well not for the kids anyhow. So that makes things much more relaxed.

Hi April good to see you back! Applesauce sounds yummy!

Cin I am not sure who you are telling to lighten up......I am assuming I am one of the "gals" you are setting straight.....winks and smiles included.

I am not sure what you mean by a serious comeback but I find yours offensive......Something obviously touched a nerve with you.......maybe you should "lighten up" as you put it. I did nothing serious as you put it....I congratulated the woman.

Hi Cathy.....I have slept well and am done my stretch of nights.

Leens I loved your stages of life......had a good laugh.

Gotta go study.....have a good rest of the day everyone

Eliz

Liz & Leens
I was joking about the woman with twins.like I said I didnt even read the article..............I felt Leens reply was rather serious..when I was making light of something and when Liz congratulated her on her healthy babies.............I just felt both of you were out to make ME feel bad or something cause I kidded about it........

I am sorry in you were offended by me Liz.................

In fact I think it was a little out of character for me to kid like that then felt like I was just taken too serious.

All I can do is say I am sorry.

No winks.no smiles.

Cin

Oh, good grief! Lighten up now!

I understood exactly what CIN meant. But maybe it's cause I'm a wee bit past the baby making age!
I wish the woman well-saw her on TV last night. I wondered who would be raising the twins if her health would fail.

Okay ladies, I was in no way offended by anything anyone said, sorry you thought I took it as being that way. Its tough to put yourself in other's shoes so I thought I would just mention the little bit about Sarah and how old she was, and that nothing is impossible, thats all !!!! Honest !!!

I didn't mean to offend anyone as well or come off like that. You should all know me by now, that in no way, ever, that, that would be my intentions. I love you all dearly and I tell you all the time that I do.

I do love you all !!

Cin, I appologize

Leens
Apology accepted.It is late Friday afternoon and I just saw it..............I thought if the conversation continued it would be on the next days thread.

You all are usually such a "big cut up".I assumed you would laugh........you often kid about things so I did too! I wasnt passing judgement on the poor lady.
Thanks
Cin
