Yes insane is the best word to use. I have a few people besides myself on the horn about this. It's almost like they are just trying to get more money then they already do with taxes. I can drive my daughter if push comes to shove but what about the hundreds of other parents that have kids way younger than my daughter that the only way to get thier child to school is either the dollar a day bus ride or child care before school which is about 35 a week. Public school is supposed to be free right? And if the bus is already going to whichever stop and you make the time and place just like everyone else why would you have to pay a dollar...it's not like you get special service and they come right to your house or anything.

I will get back to the doctor here in a few months. Just have to take care of a few things first. They keep cutting dh's hours so everything is tighter than normal. Dh has a cow about me getting a job so I will have to weigh it out until things pick up.

keep pushin!

that bites about dhs hrs....why doesnt he want you to work? is it bc hes afraid you wont be there for dd?

I think you should geta jpob if you want one, its your time after all and I hate when men do that controlling thing...
Off to 8 hours of chemistry today, should be interesting as I failed algebra and latin and got a d in chemin high school...
Tara

hey guys

i think tara is right if you want it go for it!

tara i failed algebra too!

im dn 3.5 this week!!!

Yeah he doesn't want strangers watching our daughter. Hes been like since she was a newborn. He thinks she should only be left with family and not wasting time with people she doesn't know or have relationships with. Other than school of course. Even at church he says he doesn't need her babysat if she isn't in there to learn then he will watch her himself. Which I can't down him for that I feel the same way with some of it but heck for an hour or two really what would it hurt? I don't mind not working I mean I love being there to watch games and anything else she wants to do. I just think if we need the money now then until we don't I can work around DD's school hours maybe an hour or two of daycare. Another year or so she will not even need childcare anymore so unless we do get pregnant again I will be working full time... right now is just until something changes with his job.

I think I should add if i could find a family member or close friend to watch Dd then it wouldn't be an issue. Dh's sister has the hardest time finding sisters herself and she works her own hours. My mom could do it but lives over an hour away. She doesn't like driving enough to pick her up everyday. I will figure out something I always do.

yes you will! my mom worked for years around my school schedule.....no biggie.

Lorra,
the disadvantage of this is friendships and independance are limited. My son is finally making firends and having time away from mom and dad is beneficial to him for finding his own personality.
Tara

My Wii came yesterday its a blast and a great workout!!!!!
Tara

enjoy t! what is a wii???

Yes T that is very true and even more so for your son since hes so young. When my daughter was that young we had a few friends with kids the same age and had play dates( mommy time too) almost daily. After school age it's a given that they will make even more friends and independance. There is a plus side to all this though I will not complain about : I can bring her to as many after school activities as she would like to join without having to worry about the hours in which they start and end. I love that I could do that.
Right now is my problem but I will work it out.
Lucky you T.....I almost got one of those for DD 4/5 months ago. Then I thought I better wait for a birthday or christmas for something like that. Although I want it probably just as much as DD :lol:

A it's a video game system. You actually get up move around while your playing...... like your really playing in the game.

hey lorra!:)

you will work it all out.:)

that sounds cool...

hey guys where are you?

Hey A I'm here :hug: Busy day .....I have a huge headache so I'm off to bed. Talk to you guys tommorrow

feel better lorra! :hug:

i didnt feel good today either

Thanks I feel better today...hope your feeling better tomorrow :hug: I was on the go all day yesterday and got a headache about mid-afternoon making the day seem longer than it was. Had my niece and nephew all day to so dragging them around everywhere wasn't making them very happy either.

How are you doing on your diet A? Still going strong? I'm losing my battle and need a pep talk.

hey lorra!'

im glad your feeling better.... im not i wish i was getting a masdsage tonight:(

need a pep talk eh? no problem....here it goes! tomorrow is a new day... pick yourself up, dust yourself off, take a good look in the mirror at what you see and hopefully that will get you moving. plan outyour food for tomorrow tonight so you cant fail.

hi guys whats up?

are you doin better lorra? you better be or im gonna come after you!:D

yes doing much better today. No soda or sugary snacks. I was snacking on snacks all day then eating high fat dinners. Never a good combo. Gained everything back but I'm hoping if I stick to the plan maybe I will get back down in no time since it's still a fresh gain if that makes sense at all. Thanks A reading your post last night before going to bed gave me a lot to think about before going to sleep. I woke up thinking I can do this! The longer off plan the harder it is to get back on. Keep all the support coming please I really need it to get my head back into this.

hey lorra:) (((( ))))

im glad that i could help... its just i knew all of that from personal experience, and its what i hads to do this last time i fell and its made all the difference in being op for almost a month. im determined not to fall this time and im not going to let you fall eithger!! i know its hard girl but i know you can do it!!!

Don't know what I would do without you A :hug: It is really hard. I bought myself a notebook to write everything down in. Sometimes it's hard to plan dinner because I get bored with what is planned and sometimes just need something different. That is usually what gets me in trouble. Tomorrow is my Mom's b-day and either tomorrow or Friday I'm going to spend the day and night with her. I need to plan careful so those birthday treats do not send my gain in to a keeper. I'm going to pick up a cake and make her dinner. I could get away with making a big salad though cause she loves salads. Hopefully she hasn't ate them all week though.
I have to get to bed Thanks again A You've been so great :balloons:

you kiddin girl? i dont know what id do w/o you either!! :hugs:

sounds like you need other meal ideas----get creative!

im always here for you---and tara too! i didnt forget ya t!!

happy bday lorra's mom! dont worry about dinner--can you eat something healthy before you go? allow yourself a small sliver of cake----just cut bk earlier in the day.

gnite sweetheart....

hi guys

whats up? the scale isnt moving as fast as id like it too but im just trying to roll w the punches.

hi guys!
tgif!!

well tomm is my wi and im .2 away from this weeks goal.

whats up lorra? how ya doin?

Hey you two, sorry I am MIA lately, this Chemistry class is killing me. I cant even get thru the reading, let alone do the work and I have a teacher who is...well useless and cannot get a tutor to call me back and am falling farther and farther behind......
t

omg t thgats aweful! keep calling!

whats up lorra? i made my weight goal for the week...2.2.

Way to go A....The scale is moving back down for me. Will not show a loss but anything I can lose to get me back where I need to be is fine with me. Have a lot to keep me busy next week ...Hey you guys know what DH said JOIN the gym (the one I like) if I want to. I didn't expect that. I've been trying to save and he says if it's something I really want he will pull the hours to make it possible :D I can't wait!!! Although I ran into some stuff i have to help my Mom with. I have to put fence weave in her chain link fence so the neighborhood kids will leave the dogs alone. They aren't very nice kids. She doesn't have the extra money to do this so once that is up and taken care of GYM HERE I COME :) I will get a workout putting it in so that helps too.

T, That really sucks. I put my daughter in a summer math class for extra help in the parts of Math she had trouble with last year. Come to find out it's a reading & math class ...mostly reading. Reading isn't where she needs the tutor. I wish they wouldn't waste time in subjects she doesn't need help with. The classes are for 4 weeks then there is nothing else until after the school year starts. The teacher lets them hang out on the internet when they finish their work... Of course if they are doing mostly reading my daughter is flying through her work and spending most of the day on the computer....She can do that at home. Maybe you could try looking for a tutor on your own. Hope your teacher gets on the ball.

thanks l.. you know what? join!!!! you have a very loving dh.

I am A and i can't wait...it's been all I've been thinking about since Dh was talking about it. I collected all the coins in the house to roll up ( I was a little bored) and I had 70 dollars. I'm going to put that into my gym memebership fee. I'm more than half way there maybe I could start before finishing my Mom's fence.

aww how cute!:) (i woulda been thinkin about it too)

you go girl! you can do it!!

:lol: I'm still day dreaming about being able to go workout and all the other stuff they have...spa, pool. YAY!!! May not be day dreaming when everything hurts those first few weeks back at the gym but it will be so worth it. While I'm still paying for my Mom's fence... I came up with a way to put away the money faster ...other than the surprise 70 bucks in coins. Everytime I go shopping I'm going to take out 10 bucks in cash and put it in a gym fund. What's another 10 bucks here and there? We blow way more than that on stuff we don't even need. I go shopping usally twice a week thats at least 20.00 a week (sometimes three). Another 2 or three weeks and I will have my start up fee and maybe even a ...or most of a first payment. :exercise: :exercise:

oh and I forgot to add I will not even have to worry about a sitter like I had thought before ...this gym stays open until 10 pm Monday- thursdays...Until 9pm on fridays and even open on the weekends so Dh will be home to babysit :D My daughter has a friend coming from TN to stay for the summer in a couple weeks ....so this is a perfect time to have him sit with the kids :lol:

hi guys!

thats awesome lorra youre right 10 isnt alot. my neoice is having tonmsils out so a prayer would be awesome:)

im up 1.5...why i deo not know i mean i know i gained but god it went from 1/2blbg on weekends to 1 and now 1 1/2. so frustrating.

aww poor baby :hug: She will be in my thoughts for sure.

Don't worry A it's probably just your body trying to hold on to the weight. Keep up the good work and it will go away.

thanks lorra i ppreciate it she has severe asthma so you can imagine the need for prayers. shes as sweet aswcthey come

Hi guys,
I am up, big surprise, I am thinking about starting weight watchers or atkins again...
Tara

hey t!

i hope your leaning more toewards ww

Everything go okay with your niece's surgery yesterday? Shes probably up eating ice cream and ice pops by now.

I'm not even touching that scale today. Yesterday DD and I went out with some friends to dinner and ice cream afterward. Lets just say I didn't hold back and will probably pay big time for it. Back to business today and maybe tomorrow the scale will not be as mean :eek:

hey lorra

firtst, thanks 4 askin shes fine thank god:)

funny you should say that about the scale bc number one i killed myself and lost noything today after a 1 1/2 gain yesterday, two i think im going to dinner tonight w my sister and 3, i may be having lunch on thur w a friend so basically im dead but im just gonna take it as it comes and then move on.

we cannot stop living just bc we are trying to eat better...

I started atkins today. I need to break the sugar habit and ww doesnt help me do it. Today is going well, though I missed my coffee this am!!!
Is the little girl feeling better...
Tara
