Busy day here. laundry, errands then lunch at Applebee's. Now I am pooped. I still have a load of clothes to dry and fold.
Hope everyone is doing okay and has a good week. Susan, Francie, Mindee..where are you gals?? Sassy, good to see you here...I think we are all back sliding and not too "in" to posting weight related things. But it is nice to know you are OK. Cristina- You are probably the only one actually keeping up well with exercise. I am a slug.... I manage about 4 days a week of riding or walking. I know I feel better if I DO it...but it gets so discouraging when the weight doesn't come off. More stress and tension here...but it has a way of working out, so I am NOT going to let it get me this time. At least we are all healthy!! |
Hey All. :wave:
Guess we are all busy bees. lol. I've been sick :barf: so much fun....lol Can't believe it is September already! :fr: I hope you all are doing well! Big :hug: |
Sassy--hope you get feeling better soon--how's the new house--are you still loving it??? How do the kittys like it...
Sue-it's been getting less stressful here now that the parents are doing better... I am gonna be a grandma again--Ry and Tonya are having an April baby!!! I am so excited!!! Ry's been talking about moving a trailer on the property and I guess it will happen when his lease is up....I am so super excited I am bouncing off the walls!!! |
Hey all. :wave:
Jules -- Thanks. I still feel yucky. :p I can't hardly eat nothing, which is good, but not good because I can hardly eat enough to keep my metabolism from falling down to the ground............but oh well. I just can't eat. :shrug: Only weird part is the only time I can eat is in the mornings, after work. Then I can eat, but before and during work, I can't. Congrats! :bb: Anywho, hope everybody is doing well. :hug: |
my goodness it has been a while since I have been on here!!!!!
we have been so busy around here. Tommy got laid off on the 20th of last month, but thankfully he was able to start working with his cousin the very next day! he has been working with him since then, and they have had a couple of rain days, but for the most part he has been getting some constant work! the boys start school next Tuesday. well, that day is an orientation day, and then they will start riding the bus on Wednesday....they are extremely excited and so am I!!!!!!! it will make for a lot of quiet time once both Brandon and Logan are in school!!!! It will give me and Marissa a lot of time to spend together! Speaking of Miss Marissa, she has just started to climb out of her crib now! She has done it at least once for the past couple of days, but I have found that if I wait until she shows me signs that she is getting tired, and then lay her down, she doesn't get out of bed. |
Hi Mindee. :wave: Sorry to hear about Tommy getting laid off, but glad to hear he is working with his cousin. :)
Awwwww that will be cute seeing the boys off to the bus. But I bet you'll be a bit teary eyed too, eh? lol. Miss Marissa is a big girl now! hee hee. My mil told me that my husband was an "escape artist" from his crib too. lol. We had a "food night" tonight for just the after hours folks because lets face it, we are the ones that always get left out of everything. So it was quite nice to have a food night just for us. We went with Mexican Food. We even invited the cleaning crew here, because you know they always get left out of things, they were very touched, it was sweet. I was good and did not even finish what I ate on my 1st plate. But then again since I was sick I can't eat like before, which is good I guess. Anywho, I hope you all are well! :hug: |
just thought I would pop in before I get the kids up.....I can hear them all awake......so I can't hide behind the laptop anymore!
Shell~ It will be so nice to see them off to school! I am sure that I will get teary eyed seeing them get onto the bus, but I will have the camera handy to take pictures! Logan is the one that I am kind of leary about but he has been trying to get onto Brandon's bus since school started last year...so now that he will be able to get onto the bus and travel with him will be another story! Miss Marissa is the biggest escape artist out there! she can even get out of her pajamas if we don't safety pin them the right way! |
I finally have a sec to pop in and say hello!
I took Gaby to Portland this morning to spend a few days w/ her sisters. I love her tons but I need some quite time. Hope you ladies are doing well. I will have to catch up over time,but hugs to all that need one. Reading The Nanny Diaries and have been reading a book a week this summer. I have gained back up to 150, yikes. So, I am headed for the store to get some salad fixings and start back on the road to redemption. lol I feel like a slug. anyway, are we ready for Fall?? I am. It is my favorite season and I enjoyed the hint of red,yellow and oranges coming through the woods today as the leaves change colors. anyway, I will try and chat more later! :grouphug::grouphug: |
I figured that I would stop in to see how every one is doing.......
I am trying to come up with some dinner ideas, and get some grocery lists together for shopping purposes! SuzieQ~ It is so good to see you/hear from you!!!! I am so ready for fall!!!! I am ready for the sports....hockey, football and every thing!!!! |
Good Morning -
It is so nice to wake up when YOU want to and not when a 7 year old says you have to! It is also nice to only have to get YOURSELF ready for the day and not go *in search* of socks or undies for a wee one. Course I miss Gaby, but I am liking mommylesshood. Mindee- Why thanks, I am surprised to be missed but I am here!! So, what did you decide on dinner? And what grades are Logan and Brandon in? Brandon in K and Logan in preschool?? Jules - Congrats to Ryan, I guess this means he isn't moving back to the northwest? Darn. Sue - Hugs to you. I hate stress and tension. I hope it gets better for you. And you are having a little baby in your family? Cristina - Very sorry about Ernie. How is Char and her pregnancy? Is she almost due? Sassy - You feeling better? Kathy - You are like a C.N.A (certified nurses assistant)? Yikes, out of time! HI's to Katy & Francie! I made a salad this morning. MAJOR accomplishment because I got out of the habit once school was out. It takes forever for Gaby and I to get ready for the day so it seemed easier to grab a bowl of soup at work. But I am determined to get back to eating salads and getting back down below 145. Gaby woke up at 5am this morning with her Daddy Doug. Whatever...she is really going to need a nap! He took her yesterday to feed horses and the stall lady invited them in the barn so they go get a better look.....I guess the will go back today. anyway, chat more later!! |
Hello all...
I go and talk about getting back to posting daily and haven't been back since, lol. Okay, so it really wasn't intentional. I guess 'cause everyone is over on facebook, almost everyone I wasn't sure anyone was posting here...no excuse I know, sorry. :( SUSAN...of course you were/are missed lady! Always! No offense to everyone but it's not the same without you. Gaby is definitely a sweetheart, and growing up too fast! I hear ya about getting back on track..still working on this 8 1/2 pounds I gained back, ugh...if only it were easy. :hug: Glad you are back. JULES...glad to hear the news about your parents and that you are gonna be a grandma again! Maybe this one will be a girl and you can go shopping for all the cute things out there....not saying there's not any cute things for boys because there is...a lot more than when my kids were little. MINDEE...bet the kids are VERY excited about school! Sorry about Tommy's job but so glad he has work. SASSY...that's why we are here missy, in good times and bad. I think we all are struggling some right now. SUE...hope your hubby had a wonderful birthday and Applebees was good! KATHY...how's the new job going lady? Are you liking it? I know it is keeping you busy. HIYA FRANCIE, KATY and...man, it's been a while I can't even remember who all posted, sorry. For you ladies who asked about Charlotte...the baby is due Sept 23 but not sure whe will make it that far. She was in the hospital last Saturday night with contractions. Started at 9:40 and Josh told me about 10:40 and I was expecting a call but they never did..didn't want to call until they found out something. So they spent about 4 hours at the hospital and they observed her and the baby and then sent her home...they gave her benedryl to stop the contractions which I thought odd but it worked...learn something new every day I guess. Needless to say, I am very excited for little Lillian's arrival...can't wait. Can't stay away from the baby stuff either. But I am just looking now because she really doesn't need anymore stuff so... Eating and exercise wise, I am doing better. Walking and/or exercising 5-6 days a week now. Not back to where I was but it's something and something is definitely better than nothing for me so. Now to get the eating part down, and I don't mean that literally, lol. Hoping everyone is having a great day! Later gators :wave: :hug: |
thought I would pop in here while I have some time to myself! our friend took the boys to the pool and Marissa is sleeping.....so I am eating some leftovers from the other day and will be looking at some more houses again! (even though we are not buying until this time next year, I want to see what is out there and keep an eye on them to see what happens with them)
I drank an energy drink a little bit ago, and it doesn't seem to be helping any....well, I take that back, my energy has picked up a little bit.....BUT I am still exhausted and I am ready to go back to bed! SuzieQ~ Let's see....last night we had steaks, homemade potato salad, and baked beans for dinner. The boys are actually both going to be in the program that Brandon was in last year. We decided to keep Brandon back again because he was not ready for the stuff that they are supposed to know to get into kindergarten. Cristina~ I am the same way.....I saw that almost every one was on Facebook, and thought that nobody was posting on here. I guess that is what I get for thinking, huh? they are extremely excited to be going to school! they keep asking me if today is the day that they start, and I have to keep telling them "nope, not for x more days." |
Mindee--I like Facebook and mysapace but our group here is much more personal--glad Tommy got a job right away--being laid off is no good
Cristina--there is a whole bigger selection for girls--thats for sure...I am glad about mom and dad too. So exciting about baby Lily!! SuzyQ--we've missed you!! Ry and Tonya were actually talking about going back out to the PNW but now that the baby is coming--probably not. Alll the grazing and stress eating put me right back up the scales--not quite back to my highest but I have to definitely get back under control. Fall is definitely my fave--love all the color changes and the drop in humidity Sassy--hugs--that's nice you invited the cleaning crew to your mexican meal--the staff that works after the rest of us leave are close with the cleaning crew at our place Sue, Kathy & Katy--hugs to you I am taking some Excel classes this fall and now work wants to send me for QuickBooks..I am excited hubbys calling--got to go I have missed you all!!! |
Dropping by to say Hey! and Happy Friday!
Haven't walked or anything yet. Was getting ready to and then the clouds opened up so now I am waiting for the streets to dry a little...excuses, excuses, lol. Don't like the water coming up and hitting me on the heel's so not really an excuse. Plan on getting 2 dvds done as well so I will get it done before the day is over. Have a good one! |
I don't like water hitting me at all....... let alone my heels Cristina! I so do not like being wet.
hmm, ya. Good Morning. Now I miss Gaby. This mornings conversation w/ her was "*mumble,mumble*.....I am *mumble* eating a pb & j sandwish.....*mumble,mumble.....can't twalk....." and I also get through the grapevine she doesn't want to come home. Traitor. I did find out who her teacher will be,Ms.O........ suppose to be an excellent "much sought after teacher"....yada,yada. Mindee- Gaby only rode the bus once when she was in Headstart for pre school. Otherwise I have babied all the girls and sheltered them from the cruelty of riding on the *gasp*...public school bus. haha....anyway, get lots of pictures! What kind of energy drink? There is a co worker that makes her own....some tea concoction that keeps her in the bathroom all night and stressed out that her area isn't getting done!!!!!! I want to slap her. Jules- I know excel some, but no experience w/ Quickbook, I am sure it will be fun to learn. I like Fall because it seems it gives you a fresh start, so we can get the weight under control together!!! yay. Cristina - Lillian is a very pretty name, is she being names after family? Lily would be a cute nickname. Gaby is a pill. I need to cut all the swim damage from her hair, 2 inches on the bottom is dead....dead...dead. I need to put a cap on her when she goes in the pool. haha. Sassy - You feeling better??? I better go. I stayed up reading and I was blaming Gaby all this time for the slow morning start but......omg.....I think it is me who is old and slow...:stress:..when did THAT happen?? I have til next Wednesday to get my act together when I have to get her to school by 8am! Ugh. Hello to everyone! |
