hello ladies....how is every one doing?

Well, we took the kids in to prompt care to get them checked out. Brandon and Marissa both have URI, but Brandon has an ear infection fully in his right ear and one starting in his left. Logan has double ear infections and sinusitis. So she wrote a script for Amoxicilan for Brandon and Logan.....which the pharmacy said they couldn't fill until tomorrow (Wednesday) for some reason. So, Tommy is going to pick them up on his way home from work.

As for the job front, well he went to this other temp agency that he went to before. The women said that she has something at this other place close to us and he would be making more money. I said "well, what are you going to do if you get the job for the complex?" He said "well, that is easy.....I take the job here!"

Hi Ladies,

I thought I would check in and say hello to everybody and let you know I am still around. I have been having a hard time staying OP. Don't seem to have the want to. Having hard time staying modivated. Just don't know what is going on with me right now. I need an attitude adjustment. I notice that my knee and hip only hurts when I weigh what I do now as I have gained rather than lose lately. You'd think that would make me "want" to lose the weight. Instead right now I just feel angry about the whole idea of "Having" to diet. I'VE GOT TO CHANGE!!!! I'll check in again tomorrow.

Trish

Trish~ I am not sure if we have met or not. My name is Mindee. I have been around, but MIA for the last month due to internet issues. I am married to Tommy, and we have three great kids. (although my siggy shows that.....LOL)

I have been having trouble staying OP and motivated lately. I was doing really good when the weather was nice. It didn't help that one of the maintenance guys had caught my eye.....(I know I know....bad to even think it since I am married and a mom, but like Tommy always says "I may be married, but I am not buried!") He ended up being a jerk and quit the job.....so I wasn't motivated anymore. (Since October 1st, I have walked (and clocked) about 120 miles on my pedometer) Now, there is another maintenance guy that has caught my eye (and yes Tommy knows all about it) and this one is a nice guy. (don't worry.....no troubles in our marriage....one of those lust things that you know will never pan out nor do you want it to). But then Halloween hit, and the candy, especially the chocolate is trying to do me in.....but I am refusing for the most part. But I am back to being motivated again when I tried on a pair of jeans that are a size smaller then the ones that I have on right now (that are too loose and about to fall off me) and just a little bit more, and I will be able to zip them up! I can button them with no problems, just need work on the zipper.

Just a quick note to say hello to you gals.

Angie - I love your avatar - you're beautiful!

It's cold and windy here, and the air smells like snow. None predicted, though, darn it.

I'm hanging in, with the health issues. It's hard to not imagine the worst, so I'll be glad when I get an actual diagnosis, then I'll at least know what's what.

Have a good one. :hug:

Morning Ladies!

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday....got called into work early, and then the day turned out to be one of the most frustrating awful works days that I've had since working. It was like domino's......one thing started and it just kept going! :dizzy:

I don't have time to post at the moment, I'm going in early today but wanted to stop by and say hello.

:wave:



I'll check back in tonight.

Hello ladies. We are back home from our little trip to MS. It was nice, but quick. We stayed in a lovely suite at the casino, had a few good meals, and laughed a lot with DH's family. Our first family trip without his brother and it was his favorite place to go. But, we got through it and had fun.

Sure is cold here after the warmth of the South. :sunny:

Mom is having a good time with her sister, who is here from FL. AND an added surprise for her: the rest of her sisters (3) came from PA. So all of her siblings are here except a brother in FL. She has one brother who lives here and they have been converging on his house. Mom was good on Mon. and Tues. a little rocky yesterday and today, but not too bad. Maybe just tired.

I have been doing laundry, cleaning house and resting. That drive wears me out. Getting ready for a big week next week. Not only is my DS coming for Thanksgiving and the whole week, but I found out today that my DD is zooming in from CA for 3 days. She wanted to visit Mom and also to see her baby brother, but couldn't be here for dinner Thurs. She will be in late night Thurs. Her hubby told her it was an early Christmas present. Nice guy! I have not had my three kids together for a long time. I will take pictures. :)

Haven't been OP, but have been walking some. Today was way too windy, but I did walk the dog. Just have to get my self back in line!! Now the holidays! ugh.

Talk to you all later....

Good Evening Ladies,

Jane--I'm so sorry to hear that you are having these health issues. I can only imagine your concern and worry. It's so hard to not imagine the worse. You will be in my constant thoughts and prayers over the coming days and I hope you get some good news soon. Sending you big hugs :hug: I wish I could be there for you in person. Hang in there hon!

Cristina--Thanks so much for the Thanksgiving card. That was so sweet of you. I guess you only have another week or so with Josh. I hope you have a wonderful time with him and your family over the coming days.

Mindee--Welcome back sweetie!!! Missed you!! Wow, the kids have grown!


I know that I've been MIA for the past week. Nothing serious or big going on, just really busy at work and after a 13 hr day, I barely have enough time to prepare for the next day. I'm heading off to see my in-laws tomorrow in North Carolina, about a 6 hr trip. I have to work Thanksgiving day and we are heading down there to have an early Turkey Day and do some Christmas shoppng. I had this gut feeling that something was going on with one of the Jaded Ladies and jumped on here tonight (in the middle of packing) only to find out that Jane was the one of concern. With the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday I believe we all need to count our blessings. I for one, feel so thankful and blessed to have you all as my friends. Hugs to all!1:hug:

I'll catch up with everyone when I return from NC. Don't know if we are returning on Sun or Mon. Have a safe and wonderful weekend ladies!!

Hi Ladies,

Jane - So sorry about the health issues you are facing. My prayers continue to come your way.

My attitude is better today and I am back OP. I was writing someone yesterday and realized that 5 years ago I lost about 70 lbs doing the original Carbohydrate Addicts Diet. It made me realize that if I could do it once then I can do it again. My attitude and my determination are in tact today. I stayed OP too. I can't exercise much with my knee being sore, but I can sure follow the old CAD Plan and hopefully as the weight comes down I will be able to do my WATP tapes again. Until then I'm going to look into some other easier exercises.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Trish

just a quick post from me to see how every one is doing.

Jane~ I know I have missed a lot.....but I am sending my prayers your way.

hello to every one else.....I hope you all have a great weekend!

Hi Chicks......
 

Goodness it's getting late! So I think this is just another fly by. Been trying to get the house cleaned up for the weekend, picking up my DD and her friend tomorrow. (she talked me into having her stay another weekend....even after I had said, no more friends until after the holidays!) Didn't help that James said "No problem"

I'm sleepy...long day at work. More drama. And I was told that next Friday is going to be short on people.....too bad for them...I'm on vacation! :carrot: But I do feel somewhat bad. Not only I will be gone, two other gals had family things going on...one is taking her hubby in for surgery for a hernia and the other....preparing for a memorial, her FIL passed away Tuesday.

Anyway....I can't worry about that.
I'll try to get back on soon and do individuals. DD and her friend will keep me busy so not sure how much time I'll get.


Until then....hugs to you all! :hug:

Marti--ahhh...I remember the days when the kids had their friends stay over...I miss it!!

Sassy--glad you are getting to relax--enjoy

Mindee--years ago I worked in a convenience store (big chain that sells gas, food and everything else) there was this one guy that came in that made me and a coworker drool...it got to be really funny between us...then another co worker heard us talking about him and siad oh I know him and was going to tell us all about him and we were like no!!! if you tell us about him it will ruin the "drooling" for us--reality is never as good in most cases...

Trish--my knee has been acting up too--it does make exercise hard

Tammy--stay safe on all your travels

Sue--you are one busy lady--a walk with the dog is still a walk!!

Jane--I am so glad you popped in--you are in my prayers!!

Angie--your pic is so cute--I do the eyebrow waxing too--it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I am happy that you are back!! You were missed!! I am going to be a Grandma around Christmas-the sonogram that give the "best" date says Christmas Eve!!

Hi Cristina and everyone else!!

Hello ladies, :wave:

Marti - hope your work is slowing down a bit. Like Jules, I miss the kids' sleepovers. Now I let the DGDs stay here and invite friends, lol. So when does your vacation start?

Mary Kate - how are you and the fam? Let us know how it's going with the houseguests. Are you pulling your hair out yet?

Angie - I watch Grey's Anatomy, too. It's one of the better shows in, even if it is unrealistic at times. I have a nephew that looks like Doctor McSteamy.

Tammy - wow, your gut feeling was spot on! How sweet of you to stop packing to come and check on us. That's part of why you're a good nurse. I visited NC for the 1st time in September, and I loved it! Someday maybe we can meet up in Atlanta. Hope you're having a good weekend and early T'giving with your family.

Cristina - hope you're sleeping better.

Trish - you're right when you say you can do it again! I have every faith in you. And someone much, much wiser than me told me that maintenance is the same as losing, so when we get there, we can handle that, too, right?

Sue - do you go to Tunica?? My sis invites me to go there all the time, but I never do. She and her DH are Vegas hoppers, too, lol. I'm so glad you'll have all 3 kids together for T'giving. How cool that your mom gets to see all of her siblings, too.

Mindee - ty. Hey, fantasize all you want, if that helps you lose! Nuthin' wrong with that.

Sassy - fresh sheets off the clothesline in summer are my favorite. You can just smell the sunshine in them. Yep, falling isn't too bad when you get right back up. Yay for you!

Jules - you didn't say much about what's going on with you. How's Teri feeling? Is Dave liking the job?

Kelton - if you're reading this, please post. We miss you.

This evening is our town's nighttime Christmas Parade of Lights. It's beautiful to see the floats all lit up in the dark. Kind of like turning off all the lights and looking at the Christmas tree, you know? Only way bigger! Neal and I will sit on a high ledge of the church on Main St, with a blanket around us.

I've been OP and hope to show a good loss tomorrow. :crossed:

Have a good one, ladies. :hug:

Morning Chics.....

I woke up at 11:30 A.M. just could not go back to sleep. :tired: At least its my night off so I don't have to worry about staying awake all night at work! lol.

Anyways..........I hope you all have a great day.

:hug:
