IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT WEEK!!! I'M HAVING A BABY THIS WEEK!!! or maybe next week. MOre likely next week, but who cares? It's stinkin soon!!!

Ok, so I'm sipping my smoothie like a good girl. It's pouring outside and I can't get through to the Y to find out if water aerobics is cancelled or not. I'd hate to get over there and it be off, since I can't really do anything else.

I've got to do some ARbonne stuff today to wrap up the month. and I have to FINALLY start getting baby clothes and stuff down from the attic. Talk abotu procrastinating. At one point yesterday I was ahving contractions 5 minutes apart and all I could think was 'NO WAY! We don't even have your clothes or blankets down yet!"

So, My goal is to try towalk alot this week. Jsut to keep moving. With being sick, I wa sitting way too much, and I need to try to keep mobile. I want to make water aerobics twice this week. I've got so much to do, that may not happen. Expecially if they are cancelling today

I found the BEST tortillas at Kroger this weekend! They are a 10 whole grain tortilla with flax seed. We LOVE them. I made Black bean burritos yesterday. Yummy.

My weight is the same for MMM. I actually was down a pound on Friday, but the weekend was NOT GOOD, if you know what I mean. Too much food consumed. I have to get on the stick with my eating this week. Still not doing walking in the morning, but am going to lift weights still. My knee has healed up and so my week off from the weights ends today.

Talitha, we are all so excited about your baby coming. Let us know how it all goes. I haven't ever known anyone who had a baby at home, so want to know all about it. Do you use the bathtub, or a kiddie pool or what?

Monet, thanks for starting the board so faithfully. Congratulations about the 7 pounds. I can imagine your excitement.

MMM was not good, up three pounds! I really screwed up yesterday! MIL had stew meat without the veggies and brown rice with greenbeans etc. It was really good! BUT it was also BIL birthday and she had made a homemade chocolate poundcake with the old fashioned cooked fudge icing with nuts in it! Of course, yours truly had a piece and it was so good! but so not worth it! when will I get this stuff through my thick skull!

Anyway, We are leaving on Friday morning for Tybee Island and Savannah! and may be gone through the next weekend, or whenever we get tired of it (or my mom starts getting on my nerves! I have to clean house today. Then Rachel and I were already planning to get a "vacation" pedicure tomorrow, so not sure if that counts or not! Wednesday is their checkup with the cardiologist, Thursday is Buddy's yearly checkup at the vet, and Friday we will get our shots on the way out of town. I figure if we get them on Friday and then again on the Monday we get back, its not too much longer than a week!

Hi all and happy mmm,

Mine was up 3 lbs but considering the amount of adult beverages consumed in Hawaii maybe that is not too bad.
Anyway have done well so far today. Had a sourdough english muffin for breakfast and cooked cabbage and spanish rice for lunch.
Dinner will be burgers on the grill and a pasta salad made with chickpeas and ww pasta then will have cantaloup.
We are taking oldest DS to the neurologist this afternoon and tomorrow to JC Penney for sheets for his bed at college and some clothes.

Talitha, Don't forget to get some rest! You'll need it.

Monet, congratulations for your big loss. Are you enjoying your pool?

Where is BOB?

Talitha: It's that magical time when you start to wonder...what will I be in the middle of doing when 'the time' comes...each and every baby born has their own unique setting and circumstances...I loved both of my stories. The most exciting was with Shelley when my water broke...I almost fainted because I was like, "AAAAHHHHHH!!! I'M IN LABOR!!!!"

Monet!! SEVEN POUNDS!?!?! THAT is AWESOME news...it's about time, huh? You've certainly worked for that, that's for sure.

Anyhow...hello to everyone...I'm jsut popping it quickly after eating my lunch. Two small ham sandwiches with swiss, mayo, and leftover salad on it. And a pile of strawberries and grapes. For breakfast I had Kashi and three big cups of coffee. Don't know what's for dinner yet, but it'll probably involve chicken and salad.

Well, Derek and I are now parents of the year in Shelley's eyes. We bought her tickets to go see Jesse McCartney at the NYS Fair in August. Center stage in the 13th row. I thought Shelley was going to giggle herself into oblivion. Tickets went on sale on Saturday at 10am and I had them bought and paid for by 10:10 and she came running downstairs in a panic because she had forgotten they went on sale and I'm like, "Already got 'em!" So, that makes me feel awesome to be able to take her.

And then on Wednesday, I'm going with Derek to New Jersey to go to a party at Konica (the place he works at that is closing) for a 'have a nice life' type party and then to start orientation at Noritsu (the place he was hired at) with two other guys that he worked with at Konica. Then his soon-to-be-former boss is having another party at his house in Connecticut that we're going to, as well. So...what it boils down to for me is that I'll be all by myself at a Holiday Inn with a giant outdoor pool and it'll be nothing but me, a good book and my sunscreen. The kids are going to my parents because the parties are "adult only" cocktail parties and when Derek told his boss we were bringing the kids, he laughed and said, "Oh....that's a good one..." In other words.... So, when it boils down to it, I"ll probably be very sad sitting by the pool with no kids to bother me, but I'm sure I'll get over it after about...oh....15 mins. I haven't sat out in the sun unbothered by kids since about 1991 when I went to Charlotte Beach in Rochester with a magazine and my old walkman cassette player. In my bikini. So, I bought a lime green top at WAlmart to wear with my shorts or jeans so it'll show off my tan I plan on getting. My luck...it'll be cloudy...so that means I'll probably sit by the pool anyhow and jsut not need as much sunscreen.

Anyhow...I'm really looking forward to some time alone with Derek again...and to be able to be with him in a transitional time like switching jobs. The kids LOVE going to gramma's house and I think my parent's love having them over more than they admit to.

So, anyway, I have a little more cleaning to do and I dont' want to spend my time before Derek gets home from work on the 'puter, so off I go. I'll come back for more replies if I can later on.

Only time for a quick HELLO!

I've had a couple of interrupted nights, myself. Kyle ended up in bed with us the other night and I ended up in HIS bed, but it was too hot, so I ended up on the couch. I love my little boy and love to snuggle with him, but he has the sharpest toenails and is always scratching me and waking me up! So, last night he wet the bed and woke me up crying at around 3am. So, I had to go put down a towel.

Anyhow...I had salad (lettuce, tomatoes, cukes and broccoli) with chicken on the George Foreman for dinner, about three glasses of iced green tea, my vitamins (I'm now taking 1000mg of C, Centrum multi, B-complex and a calcium pill with Vitamin D added - this is the mix my doctor recommended) and a string cheese and some popcorn for a snack. This morning, I'm having Kashi Autumn Wheat again and I'll probably go have some strawberries in a minute.

So, tomorrow we go to New Jersey, just me and Derek...where my husband says the State Bird is the middle finger. I just about died when he said that...too funny. Will be back later on...

Just popping by while I take a break and eat my snack: Blue Bunny Carb Freedom raspberry yogurt, a handful of walnuts and an apple. I got Kyle's sheets and mattress pad washed and out on the line in between rain showers...it really breezy, but it does seem to be a bit humid, so it may take a while.

I have a BEAUTIFUL rose bloomed on my pink peace rosebush. I think it may be the only bloom I get on it, so I intend to take a picture of it later on and post it. It was a cheap rosebush I got at Walmart, the one I got at a landscaping place that was more expensive has about a dozen buds on it and I can't wait for it to bloom. My miniature rosebush has hundreds of buds on it...it is an original plant that was in my garden when I moved in, but it was just a thorny string with no buds on it at all, so I've been pruning and trimming it back over the last five years and last year I had to get a trellis for it and this year it is really a treasure in my garden amongst all the impatiens and hostas.

Okay...have to run again. Hi Monet!!
