morning don't have lots of time today. max is better but gave him hard puppy food and it all came up. he is able to keep down water and hamburg so we're sticking with that.

i'm starting phase 2 today, down 12 lbs as of this morning. still nervous about phase 2

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. I hope when I talk to the lawyer next week that we can put some kind of deadline on this. Maybe we send him one more counter-proposal and if we can't get anywhere then a court date can be set.

My lawyer had told me that Robert had a trial date yesterday for the criminal charge but I talked to the district attorney's office today and she said that no trial date has been set but that he just has an announcement date for Feb 24th. She said when there is a trial date I will know because I will receive a subpeana (I know I spelled that wrong). I told her I thought he really needed to take the Anger Management six month course that he doesn't want to take.

Good Afternoon,
Another cold one here today. I went with DH to the Dr. because he had to have a mole that has changed taken off. Guess what the Dr.'s name was Dr. Frost. I felt like telling him to leave the country.
I just made some hummus and can't get over how much two cans of chickpeas make. I sort of got lazy and kept buying at Costco but each time I go shopping the price goes up by about 25 cents.
Sounds like a lot of people are so stressed out, hope you can take it easy (advice from someone who says do as I say, not as I do).
Keep warm
Sophie

Not quite that cold here in Iowa. The coldest I heard in the state was about -23 this morning. Wind chills are definitely that low. It was -17 this morning where I live. It hasn't been this cold here for about 12 years. Going to have a big warm up tomorrow, up to +15!

It is almost that cold here in Chicago! Our actual temps were -15*, but with the windchill, it was like -35*. School was closed today, and it is closed again tomorrow. Then the kids are off Monday AND Tuesday for the holiday!! Lord, please grant me the patience to make it thru the next few days. Every 5 minutes today... "Mom, what should we do now?!?". I tried to clean the house, lost cause. The room I was in would stay clean for 5 seconds. I have more to do tomorrow. Expecting some company tomorrow night for our monthy girls-night-out. I need a break!! Trying to update my resume. I HATE DOING THIS!! I never know what to say!! Still holding out hope, but trying to be prepared too. :( Not in a good place emotionally today. Not as sad as I have been in the previous days, just really bitter. I hate this economy! I thought we were doing everything right.... (by "we" I mean DH and I)
Trying to make good food choices. Letting my emotions get the best of me. I need some time at the gym, work out some stress and anxiety! Hoping I get there in the AM.
Have a good night. Off to watch Grey's Anatomy and ER!
