FRANCIE...hope you feel better soon

wow! you ladies were quiet while I was away!

I am only on here for a short period of time. I am trying to get into the habit of going to be early. I need to send Brandon's teacher an email about their Halloween Party. She has it on the 30th, and Tommy took Halloween off so we would all be able to go. So, I am going to send her an email as a heads up that unfortunately he isn't going to have someone there with him. But I think that he will be having too much fun for it to bother him......too much! I just feel so sad that we won't be able to be there with him.

Asia~ I hope you don't mind but I am going to have to steal that phrase from you! I need that up on my fridge to keep reminding myself every day!

Hola.

Suzy Q -- Well my excuse is I was quite upset when I posted in the last thread, so I really wasn't looking at posts!!! lol. Also if its supposed to be closed, then why is it still open? Hmmmmm? You can smack me now! lol.
Yeah my dr has NEVER ever told me that before and I've been going to him for many years now! I was in total complete shock!! I think maybe he got into trouble with some "Ya-hoo" who made trouble and ruined it for everybody else.

Francie -- Food Poisoning or Stomach Flu -- either way.........YUCK! I had the latter of the two and ya I don't care to repeat it anytime soon! lol. Distant lol.

Cristina -- Got your info. Ya I had commented to Suzy Q that you probably have a book at home all organized with everybody's name, address, birthday, pets birthday, spouses birthday, anniversary, etc, etc. Only teasin' My mil has all that written down and that is a very good idea, esp for me who tends to end up losing things on these stupid computers! That is why I just left all your all's messages in the PM thingy. I figure that way its here........but I do wanna print them out so I have them.

Well here I am at work. Yay. The girls were glad to see me back. They were quite worried. lol. But now my coworker, who I work with all night with, is talking about going to a different shift or asking our boss about part-time hrs. I never thought she would stay on this shift. Not that its hard, I mean its no picnic for just single or married people, but if you have a child and she has a baby, its really difficult. Only good part of it is being off for 3 or 4 days. But I plan on looking for a job at the Childrens Hospital where my hubby works anyways. Its sad when you meet people who you get along with so well and you have to move on. I know we can keep in contact outside of work and all, but I know that is tough, esp with her having a baby and all.

I figure I am enjoying the moment. Enjoying the time here and now because that is all we can really do is make the most out of the little time we have together, because you never know what is going to happen.

Now I feel bad about not going out to eat with my FIL. Not the going out to eat part, but just spending time with him. But I was quite distraught yesterday morning so I am sure he understands. I will just have to plan a time for us to go out together again soon. We usually do around the holidays, we go xmas shopping together.

Anyways I am rambling, a sure sign that I am feeling better!!! lol.

Big

Good morning, all

Up bright and early so I can get things done before picking up Cambrie later today. She is going to spend the night and needs my full attention so I need to have things done.

Even cooking pinto beans for chili that I will put all together (once the beans are done that is) and put in the crock pot. Ha, planned dinner yesterday and almost forgot about her coming over...don't know if she likes chili, lol.

SASSY...lol...I do have almost all that info next to everyone's address in my address book. I used to be organized and I don't know what happened over the years but not so much now. I have turned into my mother!!!

MINDEE...you are right...Brandon will be having so much fun he probably won't even care if you are there, lol. So what are the kids going to be for Halloween? Can't believe it will be here soon! Thi month has gone by too fast!

FRANCIE...hope you are feeling better and get lots of rest missy! Food poisoning or the flu is no fun

Okay, I am going to go exercise some and then get some breakfast. Already changed the sheets on the bed and as I said cooking the pinto beans...have some straightening to do and vacuum and a couple of loads of laundry and then more exercise! So...I will be back later gators!

Hola.

Well I got my exercise for this morning. DH called me when he got to work this morning, to let me know he made it ok, since he had to take the motorcycle. He also said that he lost his glasses. He has an extra pair, so he has those, but we just got new glasses this year!! UGH!

So he said he remembers taking them off before he left the apt, so I searched outside, no sign of them. Then I open the door and find that my cat has been busy finishing off the rest of the sandwich I hadn't finished before I left for work lastnight. (I know my own fault for not throwing the container away, but still. He had that all over the floor, then the apt reeked of garbage. It seems my dear sweet loving husband bagged up the garbage, but failed to take it outside..................So here I go taking the garbage out, up and down stairs once more........I normally would not care about all of this but after working 12.5 hrs, not what I exactly wanna do!!! lol. I am just marking it up as some good exercise for today and moving on! LOL!

My boss came in today and ironically gave my perfect attendance form for August..........hmmmmm come to think of it, I didn't think I had perfect attendance for August..........huh. Oh well. Guess I did. lmao! Plus my $10 Grocery Card, you can also get gas with it, as the store has a gas station too. Now I just need Septembers. lol Octobers is out the window. lol......Aw well. Can't help getting sick and I don't feel so bad about calling off as my boss is now sick with the EXACT same thing that I had! Amazing since we hardly ever see each other period. lol. He is feeling like I did last week, like death warmed over and he looked it too. lol. So its not just me!

Lets see what else....................oh looks like my insurance finally approved my diabetes medication, only 2 months late! Better late than never!!! lol.

I suppose that is all but I feel like I'm forgetting something...............oh well probably will think of it while I am sleeping then its too late! lol.

Edit: Ooops I forgot to reply to Cristina. lol.

Cristina -- Yeah I used to be way overly organized then I got married!!!! No but seriously that is what happened. I guess I gave up. lol. So I have turned into my *shivers* grandmother, well not quite yet, but if I don't change my ways soon I will be. lol. At least I am not a pack rat and I hope to never be. lol. I think honestly its my husband. He is messy. lol. Not me, its my husband and the cat, yeah thats it! lol. How much simpler would it be if we had no husbands and no pets!! Wow.........but it would be boring that is for sure! lol.

Well here I go rambling again.

Toodly Do!

Well..I'm feeling a little better. I'm actually hungry right now, so thats a good sign right?? However....I fell asleep with the window open and my I have a runny nose and I keep on sneezing. I can't ever win can I? LoL!!!

Good Morning,

Cristina - what do you mean you won't comply??? lol Have fun w/ Cambrie, she is adorable. Sweet about going to the Olive Garden and being able to take a stroll w/ V.....and you had a nice family dinner to boot, sounds like a nice day! You really are great about remembering everyones birthdays and such....a perfect job for you would be in a Hallmark shop, I have always wanted to do that. I love cards.

Sassy- Ya, if you wanna get tech. lol The thread was open (tech) but not really. I would have closed it but I am not a MOD (I just play one on tv) Suzanne doesn't seem to trust me for those duties. lmbo. Anyway, your cards sound nice! I think we all should make homemade cards w/ a theme...and maybe pop out pieces. How long do you think that would take us all??? We would all be past goal by that time. lol

And.....who would be there sniffing the glue??? lol - hmmm, way too much coffee...

Francie - hope you are feeling better, maybe flush out your system w/ lots of water??

Mindee- I was thinking of the schools Halloween party this morning. Really almost no communication w/ this teacher,I don't even think we have a homeroom parent or a list of telephone/emails to chat back and forth and plan things w/ the kids. Anyway, I think I will shoot off a email right now before I forget, thanks for the reminder!

Katy - Think tomorrow is our last warm day?? Suppose to be 70ish here. Hope you are having a good week.

Asia - I like the qoute!

Hi to Jules, Tammy and Sue!!

Better get off to work. I have budgeted til the 5th when I get paid again, going to be tight but doable if I just don't eat every day. lol jk We'll be fine and there are some cute shirts at the store for $10 I was going to pick gaby up some, she needs longsleeves now with the cooler weather.

popping in shortly while I have a second!

I am calling about getting Logan into head start. there was something mentioned in the newsletter from Brandon's school. I called one number and she told me that they were only covering the county north of us and gave me the number for our county. So I called that number, and it was either disconnected or not in service! there is a 800 number that I am going to call here in a second.

I haven't checked my email yet but I am sure that Brandon's teacher has written me back. oh and they can't (or won't I am not sure) called it Halloween at their school. They call it Harvest Festival.

I am starting to get the sniffles, ugh.

I have orientation tomorrow so maybe I will check in on Thursday or Friday at the latest, Friday is just 1/2 a day.

I have been focusing on drinking a lot of water and feel somewhat better. I haven't even eaten lunch today....had a banana and yogurt for breakfast. I didn't even sneak candy at work , have been munching on ice.

Going to get Gaby from school and go to the library because the books are due and I am out of material to read.

Mindee- Yes! Harvest Festivals, goodness knows we shouldn't say Halloween or pledge to the flag in 2008....when I was a kid,that didn't seem to matter. Course kids don't trick or treat as much as they use to....have to be so careful these days. I was going to take Gaby to a church harvest festival and "maybe" to the downtown area where the stores are giving out candy.

anyway, I am starving so better get moving again!

Boy you guys have been some busy little posters...I don't know where to pick back up so I will start again with the ones after this post....

I worked late last night and was too tired to post. I am nice and relaxed after getting my massage today. I scheduled it when I couldn't turn my neck. The chiro fixed me up but I still kept my appt with Beth, SHe's wonderful.

Like SuzyQ, I am trying to increase my water. I actually do better with weightloss when I am drinking the 6 - 8 glasses a day. Coke just tastes so much better...even the diet kind....sigh...i luv water...i luv water.....

well, it is somewhat quiet around here! I can still hear Marissa in the bedroom....but she probably ran out of milk! So, I will check on here in a second.

I am watching TBL right now. They are showing the half way point check ups with the doctor.

I made hot dogs and rice a roni for dinner tonight. then when we were all almost done with dinner, our neighbor sent her boyfriend over with some homemade chicken noodle soup for me for dinner. (she knows that Tuesday is Tommy's lodge night so I am on my own to figure out dinner for me, and the kids) I haven't eaten any yet........but I am thinking I will soon!

On another board that I post on, one of my friends is doing a ten week plan! so, I am going to look into doing that. She is only on the start of week four I believe and has already lost 12 pounds!

oh yeah, I called on the head start for Logan. The first lady that I talked to told me to call the head start number in our community, so I did. well that number was disconnected. So, I called the 800 number and the lady called me back. She said that our best bet would be to hold off, and wait until the spring time to call for next year since he is considered a really young 3 since he will be three next Tuesday.

I need to start drinking more water! I ran out of caffeine free pop, so I had a coke with dinner. It tastes so funny to me! so, I am going to make some tea here in a little bit so that I can drink it.....a full container of ice tea is 64 ounces, and I know so well that I can drink it all myself!

Hola.

Francie -- Glad your feeling better.

Suzy Q -- Ya know you don't have to be a mod to close threads, if you have opened the thread yourself, then you can close it. You will have that option under the Go Advanced and I beleive its under where you post your message, just check the box "close this thread after posting" You are too funny. lol. I could see us all sitting down making home-made cards and one of us eating the paste like in school, ya know there was always one..........hmmmmm wonder who that'd be?

Jules -- Hi

Mindee -- I can't get off of my "liquid crack" as my coworker call it. (Mt. Dew) I try to only drink it at work, but its still tough...........UGH. I drink lots of water too...............just hard to kick the nasty soda habit......

Have a Good Night All, this is my friday, so YAY!!!

well, I think I just started something that I am going to have to keep up! I took Marissa for a walk, and as I rounded one of the last corners, I broke out into a sprint to see how I could handle it. Surprisingly, I handled it well......and all I heard from the stroller was giggles. So, apparently she thought it was funny that mommy was running!

Now I just have to figure out why I always start/try new habits when the weather gets cooler, and then turns into winter!?!?!?

Sassy~ I know exactly what you mean! I have been trying to drop the pop/soda habit for a while! I was glad when I was younger and my parents only allowed me to have one glass at snack time at night. Man, why did I have to grow up? But I am in the habit now of kicking the soda/pop habit. I am in the 12 step program. First step was to admit that I had a problem. Second step, was to set a limit for how many I was going to have a day. Thirst step, was to stick to the set number. Fourth step, was to reset the number of pops/sodas I was going to allow myself. Fifth step, was to stick to it again. Sixth step, was to only buy caffeine free pop to drink. Seventh step, is to avoid going back to old habits. Eighth step, is to keep encouraging myself. And well, okay, so there may only be 9 steps to this program! LOL

So the plan was to get on the computer, lol...so much for plans. Time got away from me and now here it is too late and I am sleepy. So I will chat tomorrow about noon'ish...taking Cambrie to preschool. She has to be there by 12:30 and then I will have the rest of the day so until then sweet ladies...nighty, night.
