Morning, gals. I got paged over an hour ago and I'm still stuck working a production issue. I hate being primary oncall. I really want to go into the office today but I'm just going to have to see how tired I am. I might just have to work from home. I wish they would just decide to recycle the application so we could be back working again.
I'm really retaining water right now. I need to try drinking more water but right now I need the caffeine from the tea.
Thanks for starting us today, Barb. Ugh, you must be utterly exhausted after you're all-nighter! I hope you can find time for a good, quality sleep today. Take care.
I can't seem to wake-up today. Every part of me is wanting to go back to bed. It's so tempting, but I can't put off getting back into my Curves routine again. I made tea this morning instead of coffee, but I'm going to have to stop off at Wawa for an extra-large after my workout.
I got a big "welcome back" from Audrey & Maggie yesterday. The first 1/2 was spent hugging and cuddling. They did have a great time at the shore with their cousins, but were happy to be back home again, too.
I'll be working til late again today, since Cindy has polo tonight. I'm probably going to bring the girls over here, though, since Amber will be coming to spend the night with Jake & I while her mommy goes in the hospital to have her new little brother. Tomorrow will be an exciting day!
I'm with you...I'm on my first cup of coffee and I don't think it's working yet. I need toothpicks to prop my eyes open. Tons of work and not enough time. Late nights and early mornings!
Let's have a productive day out there!
Morning chicks... I am feeling normal again, it has taken me 3 nights of going to bed early to catch up on all my sleep. I actually got my butt out of bed and walked 1 2/3 miles in 30 minutes this morning. I am feeling pretty good, sweaty but good. I need a shower but I will have to wait til dd gets up so she can watch the wee ones.
Barb- thanks for starting us up this morning. Hope you can get some sleep you busy chick you sound like you need it. Hope you have a page free day today.
Cottage- Sounds like the wee ones missed you, nothing better than hugs and cuddles from the ones that love you. Hope you have a good work out and enjoy your coffee after.
femme- Want me to send you some toothpicks I think I some left over from my sleepy days. Enjoy your coffee hope it gives you the jump start you need.
Me- Not much on my plate today. It is drizzly here today but I think it is going to clear off. Hope so I have a couple loads of laundry to do. Then hopefully it will be off to the beach again for some fun and sun ( if it clears.) We had a huge water fight yesterday. The kids were having a fit of giggles when they ganged up on me and my neighbour who babysits as well. Great day.
I ended up getting back to bed just before 5AM and then I had to be up at 6. We still have some system issues to work through so we are planning an outage for midnight tonight so I'll be back up. No chance for catching up on sleep yet.
Oh Barb! How awful! I thought I had been unreasonably tired lately. Must just be a busy time at work for all! I was frantic yesterday trying to get things done, which isn't normally how my days are.
Food has been totally un-SBD lately because we have absolutely zero dollars to go to the grocery until next week...with Chester being in the vet so much this month, and eye doctor appointments, and DH making practically nothing, it's been a bad month. I am not eating much though so I guess that makes up for it! Last night we did have a good meal of chicken cutlets (President's chicken), purple peas, and a Green Giant steamed veggie medley. But I have like no protein to feed us for another week. Should be interesting!
Well, off to work. My yogurt shake tastes funny this morning. :P May have to go "invest" in a dollar's worth of oatmeal at the cafeteria.
I slept like crap. Laid awake until almost midnight, then woke up at 3:30, then somehow pulled every muscle in my back and I can't stand up straight today. I've tried doing cat stretches, lifting my arms, etc, and it's not working. I'm supposed to have PT tonight after work but I don't know if that's going to happen. Better see if hot water helps.....
Would stay home from work but the boss is going to be there today. I like my boss otherwise I'd roll my eyes. I have a shift leader with me noon-five, so maybe I'll be able to go home once Tim's gone.
Barb, ughhhh and I'm whining about being tired!
Jesse, I don't know about consuming any kind of "funny" tasting yogurt.... I'd go get some oatmeal.
I'd better hit the shower and pray that my back feels better. Hope you girls have a better start than I'm having....
I'll bet you're going to be happy to get this issue resolved, Barb. I don't know how you're able to even think, with only 1 hours' sleep all night!
I'm enjoying my coffee right now, femme, and I'm finally feeling more alive. My exercise class helped get me going, too. It was packed today, and we chatted away all through our workouts.
Sounds like you're feeling good today, L.C.! Enjoy your beach day today!
Jessie I so know the feeling of SBD on a budget- I hate it when your pantry and produce drawer in the fridge are pretty empty. Just do the best you can-I second Lisa on chunking the yogurt though.
Barb I am tired just reading your post! DH laughs at me, because I don't deal well when I don't get my sleep. Infancy with both my girls was quite interesting!
LC Sounds like a fun day yesterday. We had a fun day with our neighbor- they had a blast playing all afternoon although my DH was very weeping. She just plays so hard and then is super tired.
Cottage Wakey wakey! That is so sweet that the girls were happy to see you. I am sure it is hard to get back onto the swing of things. That is what I dread about going back to school- I really love the blend of working full time during the school year and then staying home with the kids in the summer. BUT getting back into the routine is always tough.
Weezle Doesn't sound like the best way to start your day!! Hope that you feel better. You know I am sending good vibes your way.
Femme Morning chick! I think we are all having a tough time waking up this morning. Maybe we need to all meet at Starbucks- what would be a central location??
Me- The two big kids and I are going to go up to school this morning to do some moving. Since I am going back to the classroom this year I need to move my stuff out of the little office I was in last year. One of the things I LOVE to do is get my classroom set up, so we will work for a few hours. The kids can help then run around for a bit. DH is off again today, so Meg will stay home and chill with him. After that, not too sure..... we may go out for a cheap supper and then I have my Bible study this evening.
DH and I did decide that we are going to pursue counseling. Kind of a hard step to admit that we really do need help, but we do...
Jessie, toss that yogurt! Better to spend the money for the oatmeal, than spend the rest of the day with a tummy ache! I hope you can hang in there until payday, some good alternative protein options are beans, peanutbutter, eggs, or cheese. I often melt a little LF cheese over veggies and beans as a quick supper, and it's good!
Kiko, I missed you this morning, as well! Seems we all are posting at the same time! I'm so glad you guys are going for counciling. It's a sure sign that you both really love and respect each other to do that. This should make your marriage even stronger.
Kiko, I am glad you are going to get counseling. I will be praying over your marriage. I get confused...do you have two kids or three?
P.S. I think I am in the boat you were in about 2 weeks ago. I haven't had my period in 8 weeks and I am starting to be REALLY tired a lot of the time...acccck!
My kiddies are sleeping in late for some reason. So I'm taking advantage of it. Barb Yikes, I think I probably would have just called in sick or something. Hopefully your work issues get resolved and you can finally get some sleep.
Kiko Many marriages need counseling the problem is that so many people rather not make the effort. I hope things go well for you and will keep you in my prayers.
Weezle Have you tried chamomile tea? It suppose to be really good for trying to get to sleep.
Jessie I feel your pain. I'm trying to last until pay day with the food I have too. My problem is lots of protein and not enough things to go with it. Thank goodness I have tons of frozen veggies and some V8 or I wouldn't be getting any veggies at all.
Me- same 'ol same 'ol I'm not as bummed as I was yesterday. I'm sure my mother will eventually come to her senses.
Cottage, LC and Femme
Have a great day at the beach,
Pohai
Hi chicks,
I'm posting from Ocean City, MD. I brought my laptop to do a little work if there was time (so bad, I know), and I've been sniffing around for a wireless internet connection the whole time. I found a weak one, but this morning it seems pretty strong, so I'm taking advantage! It feels good to be reconnected. I'm sitting on the balcony watching the parasailers and fishermen on the bay and waiting for the kids to start moving. I think we'll drive out to Assateague today and see if we can see some wild ponies.
My niece got burned on her legs the first day, so I'm trying to minimize beach time. She's very fair, as we all are, but we greased up pretty well, and the rest of us were okay. I guess the sun is stronger than she's used to...
I've been pretty good about staying on-plan, just a couple of little slips. I stole a few potato chips off of DS's plate yesterday at lunch. And the kids got frozen custard and DS was going to throw most of his away, so I stole a few licks of that. It was sooo good! So I had him pry it out of my hand and get rid of it quick! Boy did I have a stomachache last night, just from that little bit of junk. Amazing that I've gotten so unused to it so quickly. I'm just hoping to maintain this week, after a good 3 lb week last week. Then I'll get back on it with no cheats next week.
I'm not going to do personals so I can check work e-mail before I lose this connection, but I have done a quick read this morning and will do a proper catch up when I get home on Friday. Hope you all have a great week. I'll pop back in if I can during the week.
