Good Morning Ladies!
What a day I'm having! It's only 9:30 and I've already had to tell someone to "
BE QUIET AND STOP INTERRUPTING AND USING PROFANITY OR I WILL END THIS HEARING RIGHT NOW!"
My current boss doesn't believe in us telling people to shut up...but there are times when you HAVE to take control of a hearing or you'll lose control completely. But those type are SO tiring!
You know, I actually had bad dreams about my job last night...no wonder I didn't want to get up this morning and come to work.
DS is home sick. Poor little guy. I
think he's actually NOT faking this time. Flu appears to be going around and he felt fine when I got home yesterday...made his own dinner and everything!
(Mac & Cheese and appricots) No - Not all together! But about an hour later said he felt ill and threw up, spent the rest of the night snuggled down in my bed watching TV. Sore throat and general ickyness. Said he felt the same today. I told him he was NOT allowed to give it to me! I have WAY too much to do before Saturday and then I'm in charge of the tournament Saturday, with a few HUNDRED people coming! Good thing DH works nights so I didn't have to take off work today. He may be sleeping and not much help to DS, but he's there for emergancies. At least DS is really, REALLY good at taking care of himself, even when he's sick. Such a joy of a sick kid, really.
Mary: Okay, gotta say, Butterflyphobia is weirder then turtlephobia. See: You're unique!
Actually, I HATE catterpillers. My aversion to bugs is in direct proportion to the number of legs. Spiders are worse than regular bugs and catterpillers are worse than spiders and millipedes and centipedes - FORGET ABOUT IT! So glad you got the city off it's Bureaucratic Butt and on to your house! I hope you are in there soon. You should be VERY proud of your week OP! I ate the last of my flex points last night. Today is WI...we'll see.
Karen: EEEWWWEEEE! The THOUGHT of ANYTHING crawling in my ear is just AWFUL! Too many night-gallery epidodes I guess!
Actually, I'd have the darn gown done now if I hadn't had a sick kid last night. Between him and the dogs, it's hard to get in the sewing room for any lenght of time. I still need to tack down the neck facing, hem it and make the belt. Otherwise it's done. Actually, sewing isn't that hard once you get the hang of it. Remember the Halloween dress? Made that in two days. WTG on the grades - and the Blazer! Last one I bought was a 16-18...puts a smile on your face, don't it!
Thin: Continued good thoughts to your mom.
: I can't believe they let her go home! When I had a blood clot in my leg they kept me in the hospital on TOTAL bed rest for TWO WEEKS!
Annie: Glad you are feeling better. Hope some of those 10 lbs stay off for you!
Valerie: Gosh I'm sorry to hear about your job! I know how much you were looking forward to the financial freedom.
You have such a good attitude though, and it sounds like you just really need more experience. I hope you get good news on the job front soon.
Terri: Hope you don't blow away in the Windy City! Go see King Tut while you are there!
Angela: Rant's are the best therapy some times. I think if you were resigned to being this size for the rest of your life, you wouldn't be here. I'm sure I've mentioned before how I got to 328 lbs...I just didn't think about it. I've always been big. I can't remember being under 200 really. I was "the fat girl" growing up...although it kind of amuses me now that the weight that made me the fat girl at 18 is the weight I'd like to be now! But I was okay, I could get guys, I had a few good friends, I partied, I had fun, I ate, didn't really care. Got married, gained more weight, got divorced, lost weight but still over 200, got married, gained weight...no 15 lb newlywed weight for me! I gained 115 the last go round! I was married, I was happy, DH loved me, we loved food, I didn't have to think about my appearance, I just didn't think about my health. I had high blood pressure - "oh well." I had heart arrythmia - "oh well". I had back problems - "oh well". My parent's both died when I was in my early 20's of heart-related illness...never thought about ME having problems. Inattention, apathy, that's what got me there. One day I just "woke up" and KNEW it wouldn't do anymore. Wasn't the day I ended up in the hospital for HBP - it was a YEAR later. One day I got on the scale at the Dr. and just said "ENOUGH". I've relapsed a few times since Feb. 2005. I got to a size 20 and said "Maybe I'm thin enough. This feels okay. Maybe I'll stop now." Took me a few months before I decided "No, I'm not done." My point is...I think YOU will know when you are ready to permanently change your life and I think all the reflecting you are doing is healthy. I hope something in this book I just wrote was worth reading.
Ruth: Thinking of you!
Mother,
Elmay,
Barbara,
Judy, and everyone I'm sure I'm missing:
So I've taken 50 minutes out of my day and now must run. Got another couple of nuckleheads to listen to... Hope you all have an OP day! I'll BBL with WI results.
