Back In Kindergarten #33
Hello & :welcome: to Back In Kindergarten Thread :wave:
"I feel like I am back in kindergarten in many ways... personal, sometimes at work and now with the weight loss. I have done so many things wrong over the years.....emotional eating, pills for weight loss, eating the wrong things, failed diets, etc. Now it's time to start fresh, kinda like back in kindergarten......" New members are always welcome. Pull up a chair and join us! :coffee::cofdate::cofdate::cofdate::coffee2: |
Post away ladies! :comp::comp:

Hello ladies….how are you all doing?
Nothing new on this end…..just trying to get through my email like usual! Cristina~ I usually lay Logan down for his nap right after lunch, which is usually about 12:30ish. Then I sit with Brandon and we watch the rest of the news and cuddle. That is generally when I attempt to get him to nap. Some days it is easy to get him to nap, and some days it is rough. If it gets to the point where he hasn’t fallen asleep by 2pm, I give up and he just goes to bed early that night, which works out perfectly! I just have to stick with the “if he is not asleep for his nap by 2pm, then he goes to bed early” mentality. My goodness about the break in! After we moved to the city we are in now, there were two murders, both being double murders, that happened. One happened literally just around the corner from us. SuzyQ~ Are R & R registered with the tribe? Tommy got the forms from his mom to fill out, but they look kind of old to me. So, I was just curious if you knew of any websites or anything that I could go to in order to see how to go out about doing it. He now knows that he is Blackfoot AND Cherokee, instead of just the Blackfoot tribe. So, do you think we would have to go through both tribes? Jules~ Those are some great pictures!!! I was watching Oprah on Wednesday, and she had Bob Greene on there. They announced that they are doing a challenge for 1 million home viewers starting in January lasting the whole year. I went ahead and signed up for it! Sue~ I am thinking of starting to walk at night when Tommy gets home from work again. It will give me some time away to clear my head and to get some exercise in the process. I usually just walk around the complex numerous times to get some laps in. That is great to hear that your mom is doing good and eating three meals. I will keep my fingers crossed that it stays like this. |
Hello ladies...
MINDEE...not to step on anyones toes but to find out about the blackfoot you have to contact them directly, where the tribe is based. The cherokee, you can find the roll numbers online at the National Archives web site. Once you have the roll number, order the birth certificates and you can access the Tribal Enrollment forms for the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma online at their web site. The kids are Choctaw that's how I know. It has to be the original birthcertificate also, can't be a copy of the orginal. Theirs is all messed up because their grandmother was adopted by a white family and they are going by that...even though she is full blooded. But they are enrolled so...they use the grandfathers roll number...the Choctaw Nation does anyway. I am going to have to check out the Oprah thing...not a fan of her but I am all for a challenge! MS SUSAN...where are you at lady? MS SASSY...whacha up to lady? HIYA KATY, MICHELLE, SUE, JULES, ANITA, and KATHY! I didn't get all my exercise done like I wanted, yet anyway. I didn't get up early like I had planned...stayed up until 1:30, gotta quit doing that. But I did get the 2 mile WATP done before I headed out to run errands and buy groceries. Did my 25 mns on the bike and weights and will do the 2 mile WATP again after Jeopardy. So I will be turning in early tonight for sure. The food and water are going well also. Other than that, not much going on. I am getting a little sleepy now. Too late to take a nap...shoot. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! Chat later :wave: |
Hi :wave:
Totally late start to this day and I am not in a very chatty mood. The usual with Rach, what a drain and pain! Good info on the Native American tribe Cristina. The R's aren't registered with their tribe Mindee - though they do get medical if they needed it. I also watched Oprah and kind of looked at her site but for the life of me could not figure out how to sign up. lol...............so , poop. k- not in the mood today, sorry. Hope you all are doing better!! lol hugs to all |
Susan- I enjoyed the new pics over on myspace....sorry you are having a bad day. I may go check out the Oprah thing.. I don't watch her show much anymore but a challenge could help keep me on track I guess
Cristina - the Native American info is very interesting...my grandma always says we have part whatever because my late grandpa was "quarter Indian" according to her. She has no idea what tribe....I wish I knew more about that side of my family. Mindee - I remember when both of my kids went through changes in the nap schedule. In a way, it's a relief when they give them up; they go to bed earlier and sleep better. And my schedule doesn't revolve around nap time! It is hard when they get cranky... so big hugs to you little mama. I've been knitting up a storm today. I started some mittens for James' stocking stuffer. That means I can only work on them while he's at school. I did get most of one done today. They are going to be nice and warm. I did get to yoga, then raced over to the school to help the kids with an art project. Then home to eat and knit. Not a very exciting day. Been eating ok...so that's good. Hope you are all having a good day. |
Kind of a quite day, huh Katy?
Kind of blah outside and just waiting to get to the weekend. The knitting sounds nice, what a good mother you are! If you can figure out the Oprah thing let me know - maybe I just don't have the patience today. Thanks about the photos, trying to make it a point to get more recent ones up this weekend. I am watching Racheal Ray today. I fail to see the appeal???? She makes real fatty food and she talks out of the side of her mouth. lol.....yowza, how p.m.sy is that?? Gab was late for school this morning. Her monthly packet of homework is due tomorrow and we aren't even half way done. Impossible to get done when she comes home close to 3pm. The last thing she wants to do is sit and do more work....so, I have failed her....she will never get to 1st grade. Swimming tonight. Ate some salmon for dinner, tomorrow is payday.....yay, money!!! k- hope you all are having a good Thursday! |
hello ladies...how is everyone doing?
well, Brandon took a nap right after lunch, so that was a good thing. He did go to bed earlier Thursday night then he had been going to bed, so that was a plus! Now, if I can get him to do that every day, it will work out. Logan on the other hand.....decided that he wasn't going to take a nap on Thursday. So, he went to bed at about 7pm. Cristina~ Thanks for that information. I will have to cut and paste it (or just show it to Tommy) so that I can try and find it. Tommy found the number for the Blackfoot tribe and gave it to his mom since she had all the information at the time. So, I am not sure if she ever called the tribe or not. SuzyQ~ Go to her website, and on the left side of the page should be a listing of the episodes from this week. Click on the one that was shown on Wednesday with Bob Greene, and once you click on that it will give you three hyperlinks. The challenge is the last hyperlink listed. let me know if you still can't find it and I will get you the link for it. Katy~ He seems to be all over the place with his naps. But I am thankful that he is still taking them! I have seen days when he hasn't taken them, and boy are they the pits! |
grrr ... a little irritated with Miss Oprah. I registered for the challenge and all it did was put me on a Bob Greene email junk list. And Bob's plan costs money.... I thought this would be like other challenges she's had where you get email encouragement and no one trying to sell me stuff. No wonder the want 1 million people to sign up -- Bob could make a lot of $$$. So I unsubscribed in short order. Just thought I'd share...thanks for letting me vent a little...
Just got back from a 1 hour walk...taking advantage of our reasonably dry weather..supposed to get snow tomorrow and a big windstorm on Sunday. I figured if I want some fresh air.. I'd better get it today! So now I need a shower and then I need to sit down and pay a bunch o' bills. Hopefully I'll get some knitting in while the kids are at school. I used to be able to make their gifts right in front of them because they never paid any attention to what I was doing, lol! Now they never leave me alone, sigh. I was trying to read Team of Rivals last night and I swear I was interrupted every two minutes until I just gave up. I finally made it to the Gettysburg Address after everyone went to bed... Susan- I don't care for RR either...thought I have to give her some credit...she sure knows her market and is very good at branding herself. Lately I just find myself not that into what is on tv. We are watching Survivor.,..but now that DWTS is over...that's all we are watching besides Christmas specials. The kids really liked the Shrek on that was on Wed. Oh - I forgot, I do watch Heroes..but that's over for awhile after the next episode. Hi Everyone....hope you are all having a good day...I'm off... the shower is calling my name.... |
Happy Friday, Chickies!
MINDEE...oops! When I said the grandfather I mean DH's grandfather, the kids great grandfather. Saw that and thought it looked wrong. It's really interesting all the info you can find out. Jason, DS#1 does geneaology and while it bores me, there is a lot of interesting info, and people we are related to, pretty cool. One thing I forgot to mention is that you can't enroll in two different tribes...you have to choose one or the other. You might want to find out about the tribes...with the Choctaw it used to be you had to be at least 1/4 to enroll but they have since lowered it. KATY...it really is interesting. There is indian on my dads side of the family too...his grandfather was full something, don't know what, neither does he. WTG on getting the yoga in and eating! And James' mittens, bet they are nice. SUSAN...you know, I fail to see the appeal of Rachel Ray also. I watched a few of her shows and thought the same...the food looks fattening. Don't know if it is but it sure looked like it. I used to watch a show she was on a while back, can't remember the title but she would go to different places and see what she could eat on something like $20-$25 dollars a day, can't even remember the amount of money either. But I watched this show and wondered how she ate all that food and wasn't fat! What a job eh? Packet of homework in kindergarten? Wow! Of course when I was visiting my cousin in Houston her little girl was in pre-school and she had to sit down and do her homework. It was weird to me for a per-schooler to have homework...smart little girl she is. Her mom (my cousin) and her dad are intelligent people though. She is a DR and he works for NASA. Anyway, getting sidetracked here and a little chatty, lol. Sorry that RAchel is giving you heck. :hug: :hug: HI JULES, SASSY, SUE, MICHELLE, ANITA, KATHY, and anyone reading this. :wave: Nothing much going on today. Aiming for 5 miles today. Haven't started yet, but getting ready to. Going to wrap a few gifts, did get a few things over the last two/three weeks, just never wrapped. I am not ready for Christmas at all! Anyway, have some laundry to do too! I think that is a given on most days, lol. Tomorrow I am going to try and get up early and get my exercise out of the way...DD and I are going to go looking at some antique malls. We love browsing those places. Take care ladies, and I hope everyone has a wonderful day and weekend! |
HI KATY...we were posting at the same time. WTG on the hour walk! :bravo: Funny about the kids! I miss those times. We are headed for some bad weather too...rain tomorrow and they were saying with winds up to 50 mph, crazy! Still heading to the antique malls though. And thanks for the info on the challenge...I was getting ready to go check it out. Have a good day!
|
Cristina--I liked Rachel Ray's $40 a day thing--she went to some really neat places. My husband and son like Giada, the cute little Italian that shows alot of cleavage!! Giada is starting a show close to the $40 a day thing...
Katy--yeah on your hour walk!! We are supossed to get soem sleet on Sunday morning...Gettysburg is about an hour away from me and I worked at the Antietam Battlefield in Sharpsburg MD the summer before my senior year. Mindee--Ry didn't sleep much at all when he was little... Suzyq--boy, there was no homework in Kindergarten when I went... Teri is beginning to dilate and the baby is in the right position!! She has gained a total of 18 pounds and is measuring perfect. The doctor she saw to day commented on how great she looks!! We returned a bunch of stuff and got other stuff...she is really kicking in with the "nesting" She emptied a drawer for the baby towels, wash cloths and bath & lotions and she put all her bottles and such in the kitchen. I have some more stuff to wash up for her but she is so excited....and ready.... Ryan is considering moving to Eugene Oregon...he wants to wait and make sure everything is set with Teri and he wants to go back to Philadelphia with me in April for his bday (we are going to spend the night this time!!) If everything is set he will go by the end of April for a visit and if he likes it he is staying....You girls out Oregon way will have to check up on him for me!! |
Quick fly by...Hello and Happy December to you all. I haven't decorated yet, but plan to get things down from storage tomorrow and see what I need to buy. Maybe a new tree....
It is darn cold here, but I walked a mile today. Going to have to step it up if I want it to do any good. Wish I had my treadmill back. :( Went to a Festival of Trees last night at which my DGD sang with her show choir from school. Very good show with 6 schools present. The decorated trees were lovely and one sold for $2500. Feeling a little achy and grumpy...hope tomorrow is better. I promise to do indies this week-end. |
Good Evening -
I love your little snow biker Sue! Very cute, I meant to say that earlier. Wow, on the $2500 ! Jules - You need to come with Ry to Oregon if he settles!! You would love it. Eugene is closer to our miss Marti. It is beautiful down there, I hope he likes it enough to stay. I loved getting ready for Gaby (and the R's too). I had her clothes, lotions, powders, and blankies all ready for her. It was so much fun! Of course she never used her cradle or crib, she has always been right side me.....still is....lol. Hugs to Teri , I bet she is so ready to welcome her little one. Cristina - omg - 5 miles! Did you get it walked?? Amazing... Can you believe the Dec homework packet came home today?? We did have a wonderful 1st grade teacher for Rachel in a private school on the coast. He was the greatest, loved him. He wanted the kids to learn good study habits and he sent homework home to do that. So, I guess (or assume) that is what the K teacher is trying to do. Katy - Bracing for the storm??? I was going to meet Gab and her dad for the zoolights tomorrow, see where the storm is .....winds are suppose to be 75mph. I doubt we will do that. Cute about the knitting and the kids! After The Bachelor and Dancing I like watching Desperate Housewives....after that really nothing. Mindee- How are you and the kids? Sassy,Michelle & Anita - Come chat!! I am going home. Gab is with her father til Sunday, Rach and Beck are with friends for the evening. I am going to go home and enjoy some peace with Momo, the kitty. Spent the afternoon with my sister making final decisions on her sons tombstone. How sad is that?? I drove up to the funeral home listening to Christmas music and feeling sad.........it just seems wrong for a 16 year old to be gone. sorry.........night all |
Hi All,
I'm still here and alive. lol. Just been busy with work and stress of everyday life. lol. I haven't been a very "good" girl lately, "diet wise". So I just haven't been around, I know you all have your own busy lives and stresses! lol. The Holiday for me won't be much of a holiday really. I guess that is a bad attitude, but its how I feel. I may as well just volunteer to work it, we could use the extra $$ anyways. lol. Boy I'm just a ray of sunshine, aren't I? lmao. Oh my mom did get her Doppler Study Done, they said there was nothing critical, they say they would have told her if it was. But she has to wait 3 weeks for the results. So we're keeping our fingers crossed :crossed: that everything comes back okay. My mom gets off the 1st week in Dec. She may come up on that weekend, we'll have to wait and see though. Kinda low on the fundage and we all know how expensive gas is and we have to go and get her and take her home and she doesn't exactly live right next door. lol. But DH says he thinks it would be good for the both of us for her to come up because she has been stressed too. So we'll see. Well I won't bore you any longer. lol. I hope you all are doing well! :hug: |
hello ladies....how are you all doing?
nothing new on this end....just trying to figure out what errands we need to run early on Saturday since we are suppose to be getting a winter storm blowing through here in the afternoon/evening. so, after we figure that out and get it all done, we will bunker down and hang out at home! Katy~ I had gone to Bob's page, but it didn't send me there after I signed up for it. I signed the contract (I cheated....since our printer isn't working right now, I just brought it up and wrote it down on a piece of paper, then closed the window). I haven't checked that email address yet, so I don't know if it shot me to his list either. Cristina~ Thanks for the info on the tribes. I will have Tommy check into it more since it is his family and he would know more information on it then me. My dad (and grandma...my mom's mom) is into genealogy. My dad had us laughing after we got married....he was working on his program and he came running out into the living room where we were at and said "guys, I don't think that your marriage is valid." we looked at him and scratched our heads, and both went "what?" He then had us come into his room, and he showed us his findings. It seems that my BIL Jay wrote a message on the genealogy site that they both go on that we had gotten married. So, when my dad was doing his work on it, it showed that we were related....but he couldn't figure out how! Then he had us bring the same thing up on our computer and we reassured him that we were not married and that it was just a message saying that we had gotten married. (my dad was living with us at the time since he was still working and my mom had more or less made him move 2 hours north of where we had been living.) Jules~ He has been getting better these past couple of days, which I am thankful for! Now, Logan is trying to be like Brandon used to be! He thinks that it is cute to go without naps......although he doesn't get pissy at bed time and he falls asleep on his own! Sue~ That Festival of Trees sounds great! I went to one a loooooong time ago and really enjoyed it! I wish they would do it again here in MI, I think that the kids would love it! SuzyQ~ The kids are doing good! They are impatiently waiting for snow.....but name me one kid that isn't! (big or small) Sassy~ It is good to hear from you! I will keep my fingers crossed for you mom and her test results. It would be a lot of fun for you guys to have her visit. |
Good morning, lovely ladies!
Just a quickie for me right now. Did my 2 mile WATP video and will do that again later on today. Also did my 25 mns of weights and riding the bike and getting ready to jump in the shower now. DD and I are headed out to the antique mall to browse...love looking at all the old stuff...something to do. Plus I have a couple of errands to run. Then home to visit with Josh's GF, she is coming over later sometime, not sure when. I will probably be back later tonight so...take care ladies, and have a WONDERFUL day! :hug: |
Another quickie post..
In the throes of TOM and not feeling too great, I must say. I'll try to get back on later to do individuals.. but I just had to post a pic of our "little" family project for the weekend: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2005/...f0fac72e_m.jpg Ugh - these suckers weigh 4 pounds a piece! I have to say, though, it is cheaper to buy these at Costco for 9 bucks a pop than to attempt them from scratch. The kids already know they don't get to eat the ONE POUND OF CANDY that comes with the house. Well, not ALL of it..yeesh... |
Good Morning
Sassy - You don't bore us!! We have missed you!! Gas prices are horrible, I am always dropping a $20 in and I never get anywhere - lol . :hug: Katy - Egads on your project! lol........wow, I would be eating the candy. If I can get my tree :tree: up today I will be happy! :hug: to you too w/ TOM. Cristina - Hey .....have fun with the browsing! Cute the GF is coming over, and awesome on your exercise!! Mindee- We have a storm coming in also.....maybe tomorrow?? Not sure, it was lightly snowing this morning and of course I freak. It has stopped now though. Jules, Sue, Michelle................hope you all have a good day!:hug::) I am off for some grocery shopping and car washing...........and a run across town to drop off the rent. Rach stole all my make up so I have to replace that. She also dipped into my vicodin and shared with her friends..........I swear *&^%$#... I am down a pound.........I mean that is the most important thing, right?? Haha.........trying to find humor, ignore moi. :joker: |
Hello ladies!
I'm back, did ya miss me, lol. :D SUSAN...I am with you there, I too would be eating the candy, lol! And we will never ignore you missy! WTG on the pound, woohoo! Sorry about Rachel :hug: SASSY...hey, it's better to come here and talk about it and get it out so feel free. We all can't be happy, perky, little perfect people all the time you know. :) Shoot, I'm not a happy, perky or perfect person 99% of the time! Hoping that you guys will be able to get your mom. :hug: KATY...what a perfect weekend project! Now, do you guys eat the houses after or during Christmas or are they just for looks? I have always been curious about that...was going to attempt one once but never have. That would be fun though. MINDEE...you're welcome for the info. Hope I didn't step on Ms SuzyQ's toes by butting in. JULES...getting closer for little Dominick to be popping out! Bet Teri is counting the days. SUE...you are a brave woman. I would not brave the cold here. Looks like lots of treadmilling and WATP DVD's/Videos for me for the winter. HIYA MICHELLE...are you getting excited about moving? It's coming up and will be here before you know it. Let me know your new address if you would like to share once you get there. Well, the antique mall was nice and quiet. It's always interesting to us to look at all the stuff, a lot of junk, at these places. It amazes me too the stuff people try to sell...a 12 pack of Schlitz beer...now is that really an antique? It's cool though. Seems we always walk away with a few books...books from an antique mall, lol. Josh's GF hasn't shown up yet, or called so she may have changed her mind, which is fine with me. Shes nice but I probably shouldn't get too close to her just in case. Anyway...I have to go and get my 2 mile WATP done again. Tomorrow is my day of rest and that I am going to do! I think I may be over doing it with the exercise. Take care ladies and have a wonderful weekend! Lots of hugs to you :hug: |
Cristina--Ry always looks for books and records at the local flea markets and antique stores...yes...Teri and Dave are both ready!! Dave went with Teri to her counseling appt yeaterday...he wants to see him separately too...
SuzyQ---WOOHOO on the pound lost!!! Rach is going to make you nuttyy--thankfully Beck & Gaby don't give you tooo much trouble. Katy--I never made a gingerbread house--used to to do gingerbread men & girls.... Teri and Marshell used to make one the three Christmas's they were together... Mindee--I like a little dusting of snow a few times during the winter season...with a 600 + foot uphill driveway--more than that is too much even with hubby's four wheel drive Kubota tractor.... Sassy--I don't care if you have been a "good" girl or not...keep coming and posting with us!! Sue--Happy December to you too!! |
Hiya JULES...took a few minutes to visit with Charlotte, Josh's GF. Wasn't sure she was coming but in the middle of a post I heard the doorbell. Anyway...I agree with you...you heard that SASSY! It is better to come here and vent than to stay away. Glad Dave went to counseling with Teri..and I hope he goes by himself too. REcords...I could get lost in the records...this time DD and I passed those up, lol. We would have been there at least another hour! Hope you are having a great day!
|
Hi Ladies.
Sorry that I've stayed away. I honestly just did not have much to talk about. lol. Just was working. lol. Not much more to say now and I'm off. lol. But I'll try to do better about checking in at least. ;) I am so sore ya'all. This weather is just torture for me and I need to clean because my mom may come up next weekend! But I am just sooooo sore! And last time I cleaned anyways when I was sore, I got a pinched nerve out of the deal. lol. UGH. Anybody know where that dang fairy Godmother is when you really need her? lmao!! I really really dread going back to work...........They just keep piling the work load on...........I am looking to get out. Remember when I told you all about DH's old boss from our college offering him a teaching job? Well he FINALLY got back with him, so DH sent in his resume'. He is just going to do it as an extra job for now, we can really really use that extra money right now. Well I am going to have DH ask him if there is any jobs opened in the office at school. (I don't want to teach!) lol. Then I could work part time at first too and see how it works out before totally leaving where I am now. But I just really really need a change I think. I am just burnt out and with them piling on more work everyday, I am tired of it, plain and simple. We aren't getting paid more for more work and its definitely not worth the stress! I even told DH I would be willing to go back into working retail if I had too! They would just have to find me a sit down job somewhere! lol. So hopefully by next year at this time I will have a new job that I love instead of one that causing me even more added stress! I am thankful that I do have a job, because some people do not. But if anybody wants my job, then they are free to come and take it! lol. Just teasin! I am just really fed up is all. I've stayed because of being afraid of change. Stupid, right? lol. Well everything is going to be changing at work anyways, yup even more work for us with no more pay! So that is motivation enough for me to get out now! I hope you all are doing well and Thank You all for all your kind words and support! Sorry I am not doing Indy's right now, but I will later! Big Big :hug: |
SASSY...sorry for all the crap going on at work, and for you back. Keeping my fingers crossed for a new job in the near future for both you and hubby. :crossed: Don't be a stranger though, even if it is to drop by and just say HI! Take care and lots of hugs to you! :hug:
I am getting ready to go to bed, I am pooped. I think today the exercise caught up with me because my body is sore! Glad tomorrow is Sunday, a day of rest. Actually, I'm thinking or rather hoping to go to Mass with Jason. Didn't ask his schedule so don't know if he has to be at work early or not. Anyway...take care ladies and have a good Sunday. See ya Monday! |
eeks! I have been so swamped that I almost forgot to check in!
we did get some snow on Saturday night.....maybe, just maybe 3 or so inches! we did our running around before it even started! we didn't even know it had snowed until the office manager had called us to see if Tommy would still be willing to go out at midnight to shovel snow if needed. does anybody know anything about dream interpretations? I seem to recall my mom telling me that dreams were just part of a person subconscious or something like that. Katy~ It took me a couple minutes for my eyes to figure out what was in the picture! LOL Tommy loves to make those.....but then complains about them sitting around. I am not really sure if we are going to get one and have the kids help him put it together! Cristina~ I love your blinky box in your siggy! SuzyQ~ How is your snow? Did you get a lot of it? Sassy~ I am sorry to hear about all the issues at work! Tommy is at a job now that he doesn't particularly like, but he is sticking it out until the new year and then he will be looking for a new job in full force. Good luck! |
MINDEE...justthree inches or so of snow, ick! Three inches is a lot!To me anyway...I am not ready for snow at all. Of course this weather is weird anyway...yesterday/last night it was 64 and this morning it is cold! Thanks about the siggy...I didn't realize at first that it changed until I added it. I don't know anything about dream interpretation.
HI to everyone else. Didn't think I would be ont he computer today but was up early for some reason. I plan on going back to bed though...too sleepy. |
hello ladies.....how are you all?
Cristina~ Now we only have snow on our side of the parking lot.....the rest has pretty much turned into slush and melted away! So, before long it will all be gone and we will have no snow yet again! |
Hi Chicks!
Hey All.
Wow I can't believe it and I may be jinxing myself but for now at least I am not in any pain! :woohoo: lol. TY all once more, you are just truly great and awesome Chicks! ;) Mindee -- TY. We hope my moms test results come back good too. I have "stuck with" my job for 2 yrs now. lol. My "work anniversary" was actually Nov. 28th. Happy Anniversary to me! lmao. But as I said everything is changing and its not going to be pleasant. So I'm hoping to get onto our college, working in the office or something. I think its just time for a change for me. They say that 2 yrs is the typical "burn out" time for Callcenters, so I guess I am right on schedule! lmao. I wish Tommy lots of luck in finding a new job after the first of the year! Cristina -- WTG on the exercise. TY as I said to Mindee above, I just think its time for me to change and this change at work is finally kinda "forcing" me to change. I've wanted to get another job, but have always been afraid to leave my current job because even if it is a pain in the rear, its "comfortable", but I do know people at my college so that makes me feel not as uncomfortable. lol. That is IF I can get a job there! lol. Suzy Q -- Glad that I don't bore anybody. lmao. Gas is just awful. I don't see how they expect us to live with them so high! We need to go back to Horse and Buggy Days! lol. Of course then the price of Hay would go up! lmao! Jules -- TY hon. :hug: I am hoping by next year by this time, that I have: a new Career, that there is less of me here, and maybe, just maybe we have a house! Those are my "Resolutions" for 2008. ;) Also that my mom is living with us and healthy and happy! :) Hey Michelle and Katy, and anybody else out there! :wave: Have a Wonderful rest of your Sunday! Tomorrow night is back to work........Yippee. lol. But we should be really slow. The closer we get to Christmas, the slower we get. Although I guess we could be really busy, people trying to get everything done BEFORE the holidays.........Either way, just want my week to fly by very quickly! lol. I still have not heard anything about Christmas, if I am off yet or not. If I'm not, I'm not sweating it, we can use the extra money and DH said if I have to work, he will work too. Now that is true love! :love: lol. Fairy Godmother did not show up either! lol. So I had to clean up all by myself! lol. But I still have more to do before my mother comes, if she still comes next weekend. I don't want her to have to do anything and if she sees something that needs to be cleaned, she will clean it. lol. And I don't mind it, but I don't want her doing it. I want her to relax. But my mother actually enjoys cleaning. lmao. See why I want her to live with us? lol. Just Teasing. We want her to live with us so she doesn't have to stress about money, plus to have her here with us. Well I am hungry so I better go rustle up some grub! Saying that reminds me of that new show, "Girl Meets Cowboy". Do any of you watch it? It was on one night and now DH & I are both hooked! lol. Lots of good looking Cowboys on it! Its on Monday's beginning around 4 pm on the Women's Entertainment Channel (WE), so check it out girls! lol. My DH keeps saying there should be a a (ME) channel, Mens Entertainment. I said, "Hello, you guys have ESPN!" lmao! Have a Great Evening All! :hug: |
Hi everyone...quick pop in since I have spent too much time on the computer as it is. DH and I have had it burning up with realtor and condo web sites....fun really. He already decided he doesn't want to be without a Winter get away place. LOL. So, once again we will be buzzing back and forth. Depending, of course, on how Mom is doing. Right now she is better, but we take it day by day.
I was OP today and rode 2 miles in the drizzle....gotta get some dedication going here. Hope you all have a wonderful week planned. |
Sassy~ I wish you find a job at the college that you will be happy with. Tommy has been getting the short end of the stick job wise lately, so we are just hoping that 2008 starts out on a better note!
Sue~ I hope you guys can find a place that you like soon! I hope that your mom continues to stay healthy and on the upswing of things. That is some major dedication to ride in the drizzle! I am off to do some exercises since every body is in bed! |
Hi Girls.
We have wind here too. They say on tv that it feels like 14 outside. But so far our power has stayed on. Well I think I have another bug. I swear work has to be like the breeding grounds for all the germs known to man! lol. By the time you get over one bug, another one is going around! Its like non-stop bugs! lol. So I didn't do any cleaning and I honestly just don't care. I took a shower and watched tv and that is the extent of what I've done today. I even just ate crackers because they were the only thing that sounded good and I wouldn't have to clean up afterwards! lol. Anywho. Back to work tonight (Monday) Yippee.......I'm so thrilled. lol. Well everybody take care. :hug: |
Hello, lovely ladies, and a HAPPY MONDAY to you!
MINDEE...ahh, no more snow. Just do me a favor and keep it there, lol! THANK YOU for the e-card...the kids are adorable! SUE...WTG on the exercise! :carrot: It is fun looking at houses online. Hope you and DH find the perfect place for you guys. SASSY...hoping you don't have a bug and feel better soon. :hug: SUSAN...hope you and the girls are well today. Bet you missed Gaby over the weekend. :hug: MICHELLE...getting close to moving day? Are you excited? JULES...hoping Miss Teri is feeling good today. Yikes, just realized how close her due date is. Maybe she will deliver early and on your BD! KATY...did you guys get the gingerbread houses done? Bet the candy was good! ;) ANITA...how's it going with you missy? KATHY...are you enjoying being a grandmama to little Roxy? I know, stupid question, lol, of course you are! Nothing much going on with me today. I slept late and even went to bed early, earlier than usual. But I still feel sleepy. Had some errands to run...went to the PO to get more Christmas stamps, then to Hallmark to pick up a couple of things. Had to get Barry Manilows Christmas CD...yeah, yeah, I love Barry Manilow, what can I say? Just like to have different versions of all the Christmas music as well. Mariah Carey and Michael Bolton have a good Christmas CD, and Mannheim Steamroller. Anyway, just getting some laundry done now. Later on V and I are headed out for an early dinner. There's a place we have been wanting to try called Cheddars...have no idea what it is but it is always packed and he called and suggested it. But he knows that WI is tomorrow and wasn't sure if I wanted to go because of WI. Normally, I wouldn't go but we don't spend a lot of time together as it is (he's always working) so going to take the opportunity to spend time with him anytime I can. I think I messed up big time anyway so what the heck. I'll get back on track tomorrow. I don't want my whole life to revolve around losing weight or staying OP...I am not perfect, I am only human so...yesterday was just a bad eating day for me. I think it is time for TOM...because I have been doing good and then yesterday, ugh! I caved and gave into the cravings...too much snacking in between meals. I am back on track today and do plan on watching what I eat when we go so...can't be too bad can it? I'll know tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great day! Chat later :hug: |
Just back to say, dinner was good. DD decided she wanted to go and I am glad...don't spend enough time with her either, lol. Also, I did a 4 mile walk, feeling good about that since I really didn't plan on doing anything today. So, tomorrow is WI...keeping my fingers crossed just for a no-gain week. :crossed: I will settle for that this week.
Nighty night all. |
Hello ladies….how are you all doing?
Well, I have some good news on this end! Tommy got a call from the lady in charge of the computer training test that he took over this past weekend. She told him that the national average for the first part of the skills challenge was 70% and he got 85%! Then there was a second part of the skills challenge and the lady told him that the national average was 20% and he tripled it and got a 60%! She said that was awesome because the second part of the skills challenge were questions from the curriculum that they teach! So, he goes on Wednesday night for a 90 minute overview basically about the program. He will take it for 6 months and by the time he graduates, he will already have a job! There was a guy that took the class and started out at a job for $13/hr, then he jumped to $15/hr, then $17/hr….then he signed a contract making $71,000 a year! And after his 90 days it will go up to $77,000! So things are really looking up on that aspect!!!! We are having the heating and cooling specialized maintenance guy come over in the morning. Our power went out at about lunch time on Monday….when it came back on the furnace wouldn’t come back on. It took me shutting off the switch in the closet AND the thermostat to get it to start back up after 10 minutes or so. Monday evening, it decided to do it all over again! So, we got it back up and running…..and Tommy called the office manager and told her that he thinks the furnace is on the outs and explained it to her. She said that she will send the guy over in the morning to check it out, and to call her back tonight if it goes out and she will bring over the space heaters. Cristina~ Your welcome for the card! We didn’t get any more snow….thankfully! We had some slight flurries on Monday, but that was it! |
Quick pop in again--I am coming down with a flu/cold again. Hope everyone else is well!!

Hiya ladies...
JULES...WTG on the pound! I saw your ticker, :bravo: Sorry about the cold, take care of yourself and get plenty of rest! :hug: MINDEE...:CONGRAT'S to TOMMY! :woohoo: Sounds like a GREAT job. Hope you guys get the heater fixed and it stays fixed...don't need the heat quitting on you guys with three little ones! SASSY...hope you are having a good day today! Hi to everyone else! :wave: Hoping all is well with you in your little corner of the world. Well, today was WI and I was worried...with Sunday being a bad eating day, and too much candy, ugh! Then to top it off going out to dinner last night. All in all it wasn't as bad as I expected, yippee! I was worried but I am down 1.6 pounds, woohoo to me! :lol: But I keep thinking, if I had eaten right Sunday it may have been more...oh well, I am happy with what I have so... Went to Target this morning to pick up a few things. Spent way too much time in there. Not because I was doing a lot of shopping but as I was getting ready to go check out Josh called. So talked with him for a few minutes instead of heading to the check out line. I did get in my 2 mile WATP video before leaving though and am getting ready to walk 1 mile and do my weights and bike. Later this evening I am going to do the Denise Austin strength...I need to firm, lol. I think that is only 15 minutes. So depending on how long my mile walk is I will have about 90 mns. in today. Have a great day ladies! Heading to change my stats. :) |
hello ladies....how is every one doing?
we are doing great! the furnace is fixed! it needed a new line of some sort.....but it is working just great! the guy said to watch it for the next 24 hours and if it goes out again, then to call the office manager and she will bring over the heaters. then he will come back in the morning if it breaks again. it hasn't so I am not going to worry about it! he had turned it up to 88* to make sure that it was going to work right! I felt like I was melting away!!! Cristina~ Thanks for the nice words!! We are extremely excited about it! We can't wait to find out more information about the classes! So, we won't know more until Wednesday night! Jane~ Thanks for those exercises! I tried doing them where I lifted my leg up every time I did the repetition, but I couldn't feel the burn. So while I was waiting for Brandon to get comfortable in his bed, I did the exercises again but this time I held my leg up for as long as I could, and was able to get 30 of them with each leg before I felt like it was going to fall off! I am also doing a push up challenge with a friend of mine. We are doing a head to head competition to see how many we can do each do for the entire week! I did 120 on Monday, and another 120 on Tuesday. |
Cristina~ great job on the being down 1.6 pounds!
I am about to go step on the scale to see what my weight is..... I am up 1.2 pounds this week......BUT AF is due this coming weekend, so I expected a raise in the scale. |
Hi Chicks.
Hi Girls.
Lastnight at work was not a pleasant one. lol. I am feeling better tonight, so far anyways. The night is still "young" for me. lol. Anywho I did scope out some job possibilities. One was working for a Salon, being like the receptionist person and the other is for a Chiropractors Office, doing the same thing, one thing good about the Chiropractos Office is they said that you get free treatments. I am sure its the same at the Salon too. Just not sure if I am the type of person to work in a Beauty Salon. lol. DH also spoke to his old boss from our college about me and he is looking into seeing if there are any available jobs. So I'd say that is pretty good progress for 24 hours. lol. Not sure if my mom will be coming up this weekend or not, guess it depends on the weather because if we get what we're supposed to get, we're not going anywhere that isn't necessary and I'm sure my mom wouldn't want to be out in that stuff either. No news yet on if I am working Christmas or not. Email was sent out today asking for Volunteers to work. Lets hope they get some. lol. Well that is about all from end of the world. Oh and if any of you have some Holiday Pictures, please email them to me. If you do not have my email, please PM me. ;) I am doing a Holiday Project like I did for Halloween for the J.L's. I am doing it after the holidays because most of us will have our pictures after the holidays. The deadline is going to be Jan. 3rd, no exceptions, I'm sorry. I have to have time to put it together so pls have them to me by then and if you want to be included on the project, and you do not have pictures, please send me your email by then as well. :) If you do not have any holiday photos, never fear, I plan on doing more projects after the holidays too, that is if you all would like me too. ;) Also remember your photos do not have to be for this year. You can use past holiday pictures, if you like. :) Also if you would like to receive a holiday e-card from me (sorry but we don't have the $$ to buy cards and postage this year) :( Just PM me your email addy, if I don't have it already. ;) Take Care All, :hug: |
Sassy~ I wasn't on here when you did the Halloween one....so what do you do for the projects? I would love to send some pictures, so I am going to send you my email address in a second.
