I was wondering where everyone went. I kept checking my personal posts and BIK was staying at 116. Finally I went to the posts and saw you had moved!! I don't know if I mentioned that I hurt both my wrists at separate times and they both still really hurt. Kinda depressing. Seems like it takes things like that so long to heal. Makes me feel tired, too. But I noticed others seem tired who are posting. What is that? Age? Weather? Give me some clues. ha!

Good Morning,

I am headed for Starbucks to get my jump start. I have had anemia Carol , main reason I am tired - plus the teens and the 5 year old......and traffic, ugh hate being stuck in traffic...also the hot weather is draining. Just basic over all tired - lol - glad you found us!

Sassy - glad you popped in we were missing you!!!

Cristina - Ick, wasn't that court thing a pain?? I hated that time, I was soooo stressed and I was so angry at him. His mom wants us to come back to Arkansas . I have never met her but we have emailed for 5 years. I am still thinking about it, cost $400 something round trip. woohoo on the 3 miles.....

k- had 1 egg and my protein drink for breakfast. Taking Rach back to the mall and Gab across town this afternoon for her doctors appt.

chat at you all later!!

Morning -

Quickie

Please pray for my 16 year old nephew and my sister's family.He went in the hospital yesterday afternoon, he overdosed and is in a coma. They are running test this morning , hs brain is swollen and if it pushes into his spine area he will die. If it doesn't , he will be a *vegetable*.......my sister believes in miracles so I will too. Also pray for all his friends,,,,there was 40/50 kids up trying to visit him last night. It was really sad to see them all upset....and tomorrow is the 1st ay of school for their grade.

thank you
susan

Susan- You got my prayers...please feel my hugs to you and your family.

Oh, Susan, That sounds awful. But I'm with your sister in that God can do above all that we ask or think. I had one son who had a 4 wheeler accident when he was 13 and that was scary. But another son moved to FL and had an experience with drugs that changed his life. He was really bad mentally for awhile but is good now. He married a sweet girl. Praying for you nephew.

Hello ladies...

SUSAN...thinking of you sweetie and sending lots of hugs your way. Also, will keep you all in my prayers...and yes, your sis is right...I too believe in miracles. Lots of hugs!

CAROL...I wonder at times if it is age, lol. For me though, I think it may be part, another part getting up at 5:20 5-6 days a week and walking three miles in the morning and then doing the 2 mile WATP. I have been trying to stay busy most of the day too so...by the end of the day I am pooped! Of course then there are the trips out with the dog, and up and down stairs all day in the laundry room, etc. I tell ya, I don't know why I am so fat as much as I move around, lol. Oh, almost forgot...when we get to around 100 posts, or a little over we usually start a new thread.

HIYA SUE, KATY, SASSY, JULES & MICHELLE

Sorry I didn't get back Tuesday when I said I would. I got busy and really ran out of time. From Tuesday to today I feel like I have been running, running, running. Finally have time to sit down and spend on the 'puter. I didn't forget Katy, lol.

Did my wally world thing today. Got a late start to the day...instead of doing my walk this morning, since it was supposed to rain, and didn't. I thought I would take the opportunity to sleep in, lol. Man, I didn't want to get up either, lol. So going to do a 3 mile walk this evening about 9'ish or so. I don't think anything is on the boob tube so...will make me sleep better. Doing so so with the eating-I hate that. I think because I lose a little I can mess up and eat anything.

Oh, question: Has anyone read the book Skinny *****? I've been reading it and let me tell ya...it is making me not want to eat or drink a lot of things! Mainly my diet coke! I have always known that it is not good for ya, but I am addicted to it. I just didn't know though to the extent of how bad it really is, or was just ignoring the facts because I wanted it. I have a 2 ltr in the kitchen, well, part of one and when that is gone I will not have anymore in the house. I am not sure what I will drink...water, for sure and tea but I am afraid of all the sweeteners. I will definitely be reading labels more and throwing some stuff out. Something I should have done a long time ago. I'm not saying I will never have another diet coke, because I know I will...I just won't keep any in the house.

Anyway...take care ladies. Have a good day!

Sassy--I am doing a load of hubby's jean to hang out on the clothesline before leaving to run all day!!

Cristina--LOVE the house--the colors are beautiful!! Tony is coming home-I am so excited!!

Carol--WELCOME!!

SuzyQ-So sad for someone so young to be in that condition...remember my evil coworker that got away with murder due to our boss, and then she got transferred and the next boss let her get away with not doing her job too--well she got a new boss who didn't fall for the eye-batting and crying that everyone is picking on her that she really is doing soooo much work routine and she actually quit!! I feel kinda bad that I am so happy!!

Sue & Katy--Hi to you too!!

Hey whatever happenned to Michelle??

Susan - I've been praying for your nephew...and for the rest of your family.

Cristina- Thanks so much for posting the pics of your house. I really enjoyed looking at them - you have been working so hard. I love the colors on your walls...and those beautiful hardwoods - wow. Looks like its bigger than your last house, from what I can recall. I have Skinny Rhymeswithwitch on hold at the library. I understand it basically promotes a vegan diet, but they don't get around to really calling it that until the end of the book. I have had to give up dairy, so I am halfway there, lol! I read that they are coming out with Skinny B---- in the Kitchen soon.

Jules - Re; Evil coworker..can you say "Karma"? I know what goes around comes around...why don't other people figure this out?

Sassy - Enjoy your vacation - but, you know, the house doesn't have to be that clean, lol!

Carol- glad you found us again.

Hi Michelle and anyone else reading this...

Well, the scale is not being nice this week. I am really bloated from something, probably PMS. So no ticker change - yet. Today I have to tackle the office. I just bought a new shelf and it's time to clean up all the paperwork and junk and make this place less cluttered. Plus I'm also crocheting a rug out of old cut-up tshirts, knitting a sweater, need to work on the front yard, mop the floors, yada dada. I was at a neighbor's house last night for a little cocktail hour sort-of thing. And I got THE question, you know the one SAHM's everywhere just love: " and what do you do all day?" So I told the guy, and it sounded really boring. He decided that my neighbor's prostate issues were more interesting than me, lol! sadly - THEY ARE! Maybe I need to get a job....

Good Morning -

Just checking in and I feel bad....thank you soooo much for your prayers. Please continue to pray for my sister and her family.
My nephew passed away Wednesday at 11 am, he had gone in the hospital Tuesday around 2pm.
My sister is seems strong , she is hearing from so many kids that knew her son and that seems to bring a comfort. I think we all are still absorbing the news.....funeral plans just getting made and things that keep you busy. I called my mom this morning and there was a story on him on a local station showing all the high school kids crying. .......
I am trying to get Gab ready for school on Monday - looking for glue sticks amid the other things that I feel a need to do.....anyway -
Do I even make sense??
Check in when I can..........
HUgs to all.......

Susan. I am so sorry to hear about your nephew. Prayers and hugs to you and your family.

Hello ladies...

Hmmm, guess you can't say the "b" word...even if it is the title of a book. Not like I was calling anyone that, lol. I would hate to have the job of reading every post and editing. Anywho...

THANK YOU ladies!

SUSAN...lots of (((((HUGS)))) and prayers to you and your family. I am so sorry to hear the news.

KATY...the house is bigger, not a whole lot bigger though. I like the layout of this on much better. I definitely could see myself being vegan. Of course that would mean the whole family would have to be and they just wouldn't go for it. Maybe one day. I need to organize our office too! I've been watching Living With Ed and it has made me think about a lot of things and one of them is getting organized again! Then move on to the bigger things. Wish I could go completely go green.

JULES...like Katy said "karma". I honestly do believe in it, and what goes around comes around, etc. to Tony coming home! That is GREAT news for sure!

SASSY...thank you very much missy! And I hope you enjoy your time off! You need a break, always working so hard you and your hubby. Hey, how much time 'till your vacation? Bet you are counting the days! And YES...cleaning burns calories!

HIYA CAROL, SUE & MICHELLE!

Nothing much going on in my neck of the woods. I slept in this morning and felt like crap when I got up. I don't do mornings and I've said this all before. But sometimes I just want to sleep later than 5:30 darn it. I know thought if I do I feel worse than when I get up early...so why do it? Anyway...I ran to Bed, Bath & Beyond to get some candles. They are the only place that have my wedding day scent and now they won't anymore. They had them on clearance and I bought them all, lol. So what to do when these are gone? Who knows...find another scent. Came home and went for my 3 mile walk...thought it was cool enough. Started out I was fine but a little into it, ick. It may be 77, cloudy with a breeze, it is humid. I kept on going though and actually did my walk in 9 minutes less than I normally do it...not bad. Also did my 2 mile WATP and now just getting laundry done.

Take care ladies, and I hope everyone has a good day and weekend!

(((Susan)))- so sorry to hear about your nephew...

Praying for your family, Susan. Does your sis have other children? I missed that. Katy, I have been a SAHM for 36 yr. and I love it! There are so many things to do. I graduated from Kansas State Univ. and had a baby that fall. Then I had another baby every other yr for 20 yr. My dh was still in school so I felt really blessed to be there with him and not have to take tests and do papers anymore. When I got out of college I said never again. ha! My dh, on the other hand, loves school.
