has absolutely NOTHING to do with you gals,the diet or the change to a new site.As you all know I haven't smoked since Monday and I intend to keep it that way!I noticed when i quit last year that one of the most difficult times for me was while sitting at my computer desk.Yup...you heard me...not first thing in the morning,not with my coffee,and not after meals(not even after...well.....).It was mainly while I sat and read e-mails,played games,chatted with friends etc. .So....no offense to all my wonderful friends and all the support you guys are sending my way...but...I have to stay away from you for a bit.I will come check in...read as many posts as I can,and let y'all know how I'm doing.But other than that I really need to get used to NOT smoking.I am over the nicotine...now I need to get over the actual habit....so......in the meantime....
Laurie,
I promise to behave...you can put the whip away...honest....I hope all is going well,by the way...my mini goal is to stay smoke free,I just haven't figured out how to add that to my siggy.
Becky,
Step away from the chocolate covered cock-roaches...(the M&M's too)hehehe!You never said why you quit your day job(or at least I never saw that post)I hope it wasn't because of something horrible!Try to get a little r&r in the meantime...work on that tan!!!
Jessica,
I LOVE hearing about your conference calls with Jorge...I always seem to learn something new!And as far as your late-nite muffin splurge...don't forget we are all human and we ALL make mistakes...don't beat yourself up too much about it!
Donna,
I love all the great quotes and thoughts and jokes you share with us!The birth oreder one made me laugh out loud!
ok....was it Anita or Allison with the vertigo...I'm sorry...my mind is at a complete blank!Anyway....I have suffered from vertigo myself from time to time and I know its no fun at all!
bringing me to Teri...the funny thing about the meds for menniers(spelling)one of the side-effects is dizziness!!!Hehehehehe!!I've had to take those meds before so i know what you mean about not caring about the dizzies!!I will be praying for you and thinking of you.Everytime I go pass my kids bedroom I see my pig that they stole from me,and immediately think of you!I told Madison(the current pig thief)to make sure she gives him(I named him kevin after Shannons son...)a big hug and kiss for you every morning and every evening!
Lynn,
I guess you must be going away??I haven't had a chance to read all posts and the urge to smoke has gotten HUGE so I wanted to get this post done...anyway...if thats true...enjoy yourself...and if its not...enjoy yourself anyway...hehehehe...hope Donald is doing well.

Ok....I'm forgetting people...ummmm..all I can think of right now is a smoke.....hmmmm...oh yeah...dear sweet Julianna......hows your training going?I used to work in childcare before I had my kids ....I still think of a lot of the kids I cared for as my own!!!!I can't believe how some of them have grown!
Ok...if I have left anyone out I am truly,deeply sorry.....its not completely my fault...what with my memory going and my desire to smoke smoke smoke....eeeekeee....ok now....its getting bad now...I don't want to eat anything now either..so I really really really need to go!

Becca, to make a long story short..basically I was just not enjoying my job..very boring and after long chats with DH and prayers to the man upstairs, we decided it was time to move on..my deepest desire is to do interior design..I have done interior decorating on the side for 3 years...and used to own my own floral/gift shop....but Im looking into classes I can take from home to get an actual "diploma" of sorts so I have somthing on "Paper" to show to a design firm?? Right now, I am doing custom floral designs to sell at a local Hallmark store..made...2 swags, 2 wreaths, and four container pieces yest. and today!! Been busy!! I like being home with the boys..they are busy doing hay and I run then drinks and snacks to the field and Im always running to get fuel for the tractor or parts for some equipment that has broken down..unfortunatley..a regular part of farm living with older equipment!!

Hope you can get relief from the desires to smoke soon!!!!!!!!!! OK That DID NOT make sense... but you know what I meant

Becca,

We understand! Miss you, but totally understand. You need to do whatever it takes to get you and your DH healthy, even if it means we will have to miss you for a bit

Take care of yourself. Here's to a smoke-free Becca

YAY for yo guys for doing what you feel needs to be done to kick that habit!!! You two are doing an awsome job! Keep it up and check in when you can!! Don't forget to come post your WI tomorrow! We want to keep up with your awsome progress!

I miss you Becca darling, but I understand it. I think I told you before, the way I quit smoking? Every time when I felt the need to have one, I opened my bible and prayed to God to take it away the need from me, then I read some from the bible and not to long after, the need pased. I do not know if it's works for you, but I did it this way, without any pach or medication, and I was a bad smoker. I had least 2 box a day.
I'm not as much around lately because my training. But i'm doing fine, it's kind of boring, since most is common sence. But I missed out some days, and I'll miss out some more wich I will have to go back in September to make it up.
My prayers are with you and your husband dear Becca.
Julianna
