Is everyone sleeping in this morning? Jake has the day off today, so of course he thinks when he gets up that I should be up, too. He is so noisy that I couldn't sleep in if I wanted to! He's taking his car in first thing this morning for an oil change, so it'll be quite around here for a couple of hours at least. I guess I'll go to Curves this morning, especially since I missed it Monday and Tues. because of the weather. Nothing else is planned for the day, I'll see what comes up. I know it's way too cold and windy to be spending any time outdoors today! Have a great day, everyone.

Good Morning Cottage! Jake sounds like Kevin! He is so noisy in the mornings. Even on Sat. when he knows I am tryin to sleep in.

I did not sleep worth a hoot all night. I have had major heartburn and still have it. It usually does not last all night! I think I am still froze in places from the soccer game. It was soooooo coooooold out there! We lost again. :-( But we are gettin better. Well I'm goin to rustle up my lil herd and get 'em goin. Have a great day all!

Good morning!

Cottage, it took me YEARS to teach my DH not to wake me up when I'm entitled to sleep in. I'm a morning person, and am usually up 1-2 hours before him. So on the maybe two times a year when I try to sleep in, he'd better NOT wake me!
Good for you getting to Curves today... have a great work-out, girl!!

Bamie, you sound rough, hon. Are you going to see your doctor about the heartburn? You should (mother speaking, here), because you can get scarring on your esophagus if it goes on for too long. (remember my chicken episode from last year?)
I hope you can work a nap in today.

I'm in my kitchen! I had to reboot the damned computer this morning, so I figured I may as well go the whole hog and move it back into the kitchen. Oh, I am SO happy! I can see out the window, I can see my coffee pot... And now the pantry table will once again be free for the kids to have breakfast and do their homework on. Happy happy...

Back shortly... got the day to myself, and must get everyone out of the house so I can enjoy it.

Morning chicks..... the sun is trying to peek through the clouds and it is not to cold here today. I am being lazy I am still in my jammies and have not done a lick of work. Except for printing off my recipts for my parents. I will be glad when spring is here.....

Ellis- glad your kitchen is back together.

Bamie- Ellis is right get that heartburn checked out. DH has had terrible trouble for years and now is on meds for it. Take care chick.

cottage- enjoy your day off hope you get a nap. Got to love noise first thing in the morning.

Well I must fly and put in some laundry and possibly get a shower and do a little housework.

HAPPY HUMP DAY

Good morning! My ISP was not up as early as I was this morning. I think it's a steam ISP! I was up and in here for a bit and then it decided to go back to bed.

Cottage and Bamie, isn't that annoying having the guys around when you'd planned time to yourself. Have some sympathy for those of us who have them around all the time! Bamie, what's with the heartburn? Did you eat bad stuff or did you tummy juices freeze last night. Cottage, you PA peeps sure got a big dump. How many inches? The SNOW, I mean!

Ellis, I can see you all content in your kitchen with your PC and coffee and the bright colours. Are you thinking of having something pretty to look at out that east window? Is there room for a trellis or something? The kidlets will be glad to get things back to normal - well, normal for your house.

A slightly snowy morning here but it's stopping. I had to get the garbage out to the road and braved it just in my boots and long chenille robe. Came back to find the side storm door would not open! Luckily I had already unlocked the back door so I got in. Otherwise I'd have had to climb the fence into the dog yard to get in their door! (I think I'll hit that frassing door with WD 40 or is it 50?) It sure was good to get back into a warm house and my coffee!

I have to do my journal, tread the mill and then hop into the tub. My March rule is to be fed, bathed, exercised and dressed by 9 but I do have to do my coop time too!

Have a happy Hump Day! to the chicks pecking in later.

Hi Little Chick. Hey, I'm still in my robe at 8:29. I guess I can stay in it another hour to keep you company. Silly time differences!

Good Mornin'

I am waiting for the coffee to brew . I don't know why it is so very difficult for men to make coffee around here. They will get the last cup and leave it empty for the next person GRRRRRR.

Cottage ~ Feel your pain on the sleeping matter. My DH and I take turns on the weekends with Rayeny. He gets up on Sat. and I get up on Sun. HOWEVER, on Sunday - I try to keep it quiet for HIM. No such luck on Saturday with the two of them jumpin' and runnin' around the house. Add to that the dog barking at them BECAUSE they are runnin' and jumpin' around the house and it makes for a very difficult sleeping environment.

Bamie ~ Glad to hear the team is gettin' better. Now if it would just WARM UP!!! Take it easy today and get some rest. Go to the DOCTOR!!!! I have to take (2) Nexium a day because I waited and waited to go. NIP IT!!

Ellis ~ How old are your kids? I don't think I've ever asked. It sounds as if you have the model husband - do you rent him out for tutoring??? If so, can you send him my husbands way????

Gonna go see if the coffees ready - be back in a minute

Morning Ladies!

Quick peck in for me. I am feeling not so hot still. I think I'm waking up every morning worse than the day before. UGH! Managed to get in a half hour of a Pilates Video. Baby would NOT go to bed last night & 1/2 way into it, he decides he's had enough of me not rocking him to sleep. Sooo, rocked him to sleep then I went to bed myself. I was sooo tired. I'll shoot for the full hour today. Ok, i'm off to get ready to take the older kiddo to school. Have a great day ladies!

OK - I'm back ----WITH COFFEE. Much better.

Ruth - Good Morning. Wish I could stay in my robe <wistful>

Little Chick ~ Enjoy your day---------jammies ----<wistful> (We really need a smiley for that emotion)

AmbLyn ~ Take it easy hon and try to get some rest. That's the only cure for the crap going around right now.

Good Morning Ladies! I did not feel like getting up this morning. I just don't feel motivated yet. I have cut out my morning coffee, but I think I will have to add a cup back in Well, I am down 3 pounds! I am so excited. I hope I lose at least 5 by Sunday morning. That will be a week down on Phase I. I really think I can stick with this diet/WOE. Its all about planning. I hope you all have a fabulous day! At least its Hump Day!

Amber, big hugs... I remember those rough baby days/nights all too well. I think it's great that you're keeping up with the exercising... it's such a good way to relieve stress.

Kelly, sounds like you need some ear plugs, hon!
Our DD is 15, and our DS is 9. And yes, I really lucked out with my DH. I don't know what I ever did to deserve such a good life.

Ruth, I think I'll hang some Impatiens outside my kitchen window this summer. It's so dark on that side of that house.
Gee, you're right on track with your March start, aren't you!? Keep it up, darling!

Going to make more coffee. My perfect DH took the last cup.

grn ize, I missed your post... congratulations on the three pounds!!

Well here I am. Day three and going strong. I'm getting into this more and more. I'm so glad I found this forum. It helps a ton.

Bamie, heartburn is the worst! I feel your pain
Ellis, I can almost see you in your kitchen! It sounds so cozy and wonderful ;-)
Rayney, I have the same problem with my husband. Why can't he make the coffee? Geesh, men sometimes. They can accomplish lots of things but put them in the kitchen and they're stumped. ha ha
grn ize, Congrats on the 3 pounds lost!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!!

As for me I will be running errands all day. Think I will stop at the grocery store and get a salad to go. Having spicy shrimp for dinner tonight. Yummo!
Hope everyone has a great day!
Sherry

Morning Chicks!

Back to school for DS today. He seems to think it is funny to be late so we had a show down this morning. I'm feeling kinda guilty for being such a b*tch this morning but he is getting worse and worse. I'll bet he has 12 tardy slips since Jan 1. Oh well.

Day 3 - phase I - off to a good start. Yesterday went well too. I forgot my chicken and salad this morning so I'll have to run home.

Bami - you poor thing! Were you guys sippin schnapps at the game? That will give you heartburn every time. Take care!

Ruth - Braving the weather in a long robe? Good job on unlocking the door! You are a true inspiration.

Ellis - You sound so chipper! Have a great day!

Little chick - I wish I was still in my jammies!

Amblyn - Hang in there! It will get better! I remember those days!

Raneysmom -

grn ize - Way to go! Keep up the good work!

I'm slugging through another day of work! Yuck! I need a vacation! End of this month chicks - I'll be in Florida sunning my big buns! Hopefully they will be smaller by then.

Hi lunawytch! We posted at the same time.
