I will never say that I am bored again. Something is always happening. Mom had to be brought back to the ER yesterday and she was admitted. We are looking at pneumonia....and possibly more. She is having some tests this morning. She is already some improved and knows where she is and is coherent. She doesn't remember yesterday and that is for the best, She was very sick. Might have been a flu bug which has progressed to more.
I will check back when I have an update.

Mindee~ OKay, this woman needs to go. WTF is her problem?? Does she have some sort of vendetta against you guys?! She probably does have her ear pressed up against the wall just waiting for something to happen. She seriously needs to mind her own business. I seriously hate people like that! Can I kick her butt for you???

Sue~ Sorry about your mom :( I hope she recovers quickly!!

well for starters, I am now down a total of two pounds......no thanks to the nimrod next door!

Sue~ Your house sounds like mine! The kids decided now to share.......too bad it is their sicknesses! They were nice enough to share it with daddy this time......so I have a house full of sickies, and I forgot to grab some orange juice while at the store earlier! I hope your mom has a speedy recovery and gets back home very quickly!

Francie~ You might have to step in line on that one......there is a list that seems to be growing longer every day with people who want to give the next door neighbor a piece of their mind! Apparently, she is trying to get the office manager on her side. I found out that the city ordinance is 11pm to 7am for loud noise......so this lady is screwed!

Hey Chicks. :wave:

Its me, TOOTHLESS! http://dl5.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...j92l0hz0vh.jpg

That picture just made me laugh!! LOL.

Anywho, my mouth aches a bit. I am sure its from the horrendous ordeal I had to go through to get it pulled, like I said they had my head going back and forth trying to get it out so I'm sure its gonna take a while to heal up.

Francie -- Yeah I can't believe I was awake either! But it really wasn't that bad, I couldn't feel anything -- TG!! lol. But if they recorded it, it prob would like a scene from a very bad horror flick! I'm sure if the dentists wanted too they would have said a few curse words!! LOL. But I'm just glad its done! OMG I loved Scratch N Sniff!! Do you remember the Skunk Smell??!! LOL!! Oh my dancing like MJ that sounds like FUN! I'd like to try that! OMG! DH and I are going to have Spaghetti and Meatballs tomorrow! I still haven't gotten on board the WL train yet. I'm still WAY back in luggage somewhere! Ha Ha!!
Not if you count the can't eat much because I had my tooth yanked out diet! lol. I figure I'll get back on the ball eventually.

Mindee -- That sucks about your neighbor! I say exercise some by using them as a punching bag!!! LOL! I'm just glad my tooth is out. I feel for people who have to have more than one extracted. The lady next to me in the dentist had 3 extracted and had to come back for more! I feel for her!!! Well I broke down and am back to drinking 1 glass of caffeinated beverage a day. The headaches were just killing me!!! :headache:

Sue -- I'm so sorry to hear about your mom! I hope she has a speedy recovery!!!

Big Big :hug:

Mom was much improved today. I spent half the day with her. Then DH and I actually got to go on our lunch "date." Had a good time. Went to Target and got my Kindle. (which I have been playing with...) Then went to 2 jewelry stores and ring shopped. I found 3 I loved and still have to make a decision. Then off to shop for my new gas stove...another decision to make this week.

Will go spend most of the day with mom tomorrow, then maybe some answers on Monday when the rest of the tests come back. Seems like a flu bug, compounded by pneumonia, a UTI and lord knows why her BP is going so low. On a positive note: her back surgery was totally successful...no back, leg or hip pain. She can stand upright again. Hoping once we cross this road we are on she will be like new.

we got out and spent some time together as a family away from the chaos of this place.

Sassy~ That picture cracked me up! I actually got a thing in the mail from my dentist reminding me that I have to come back in for more work to be done....in time I will. You don't know how close I have come to using them as punching bags.....but now I am fighting fire with fire.....and they will be the ones getting burned! Besides I told Tommy that I think she likes him and that she is mad that he isn't paying attention to her.

Sue~ That is great to hear that you got to go out on your lunch "date" and got some things done! I will continue to keep your mom in my thoughts and prayers and continue to hope for a speedy recovery!

I read somewhere that its good if you alway get up around the same time...well Ash let me sleep in ...til 6:30 AM!!

Sue-glad your Mom is improving...show us pics when you get the ring!!

Francie--so when do you move to AZ?

Mindee--be glad your young...sometimes I feel I am too old for the 3 and under chaos!!

Sassy--I had a tooth that had a filling break...I am being told that there was a cavity under that filling..how does that happen?? I might have to have a root canal.

Cristina--Katy--Kathy--Hope--hi to all....got go chase the little one!!

At the hospital..mom is sleeping while receiving a blood transfusion. Might prove to be another long day..week...

Trying to decide on 3 rings....pics. enclosed. All are the same 1 carat. The anniversary band looks okay with my bridal set. The Past, present, future...one with side stones, one without, both would not be worn with the bridal set. Decisions...decisions. And then I tried on a 6 thousand dollar 1 carat cushion cut solitaire. I told DH if we were getting married today I would hold out for that. LOL

Mindee~ JW, but does this lady work? Or have any friends? (Although, it wouldn't surprise me if she didn't, lol)

Sassy~ That pic reminds me of Sloth from The Goonies. "Hey you guys!" LOL!! Aren't they supposed to tell you if they're recording it? Maybe you'll be in The Dentist part 5. LoL!! (I dunno if there are even 4 other movies of that one.) I do remember the skunk smell!! Do you remember boot? WHY would anyone want those? It's like the Every Flavor Jelly Beans..NOBODY wants to eat dirt, liver or booger. LoL!

Jules~ Kids are always waking up early. I used to wake my mom up at 5am on the weekends, LOL!! But then she told me to just "play quietly" in my room. I'm going to say we'll move to Az sometime in July. I'm not sure of the exact date Fonzo's discharge though. He is getting a special medal soon though! It's some achievement medal. I'm so proud of my sailor, lol!

Sue~ I like the 2nd one. Of course the 6 thousand dollar one is nice too :p


So this week is starting out to be crappy. For one thing, the realtor is giving us the runaround. We keep setting up appointments for Fonzo's dad to see the houses we like for us, and the realtor keeps cancelling or rescheduling. He says he has other appointments. We're like..ya, with US! We scheduled first, so WTF! I think it's because we're not actually there, and he doesn't see us as that important. BUT he is a very stupid man and could lose a lot of money if we go with someone else. I'm thinking of just flying down there and looking myself. But Fonzo doesn't want me to go.

Something else that sucks? I gained 4 pounds!!!! I don't understand this. I've been doing everything right. But then again, I've only been doing WW for 4 days. (hmm..that's a pound a day) I'm seriously thinking about buying this appetite suppressants I saw at GNC. I clearly cannot lose weight on my own. I'd talk to my doc about it, but she'd probably just tell me to try harder and cut out bad foods (which I already did). I also really need to get back on a normal sleeping schedule. I need to make a list of what I need to do, lol! I work better with lists (yes, I'm a little bit OCD).

OH, then to top it off, I'm talking to a counselor on wed, and I'm nervous about that. I still have to print out the forms they sent me. Ugh..I dunno if I'm ready for this.

Fonzo just told me not to give up on myself again. He says that I ALWAYS do this whenever I gain a little bit. He's trying to make me feel better right now, but I'm ignoring him, lol!! I just want to be a Debbie Downer for another half an hour, then I'll go back to being peppy...or as close to peppy as I can get, without actually needing a cheerleading outfit, lol!

Hey Everybody! :wave:

Well FIL is really sick. I hope he feels better and doesn't end up in the hospital! We had to go over the inlaws today and help out with emptying litter boxes, taking out trash, etc.

Sue -- Sure hope your mom gets well soon! Glad her surgery was a success at least! My vote is for ring #2.

Mindee -- Glad the picture made you laugh. You know your prob right about that chick, she prob is jealous! Jealousy makes people do STUPID things! Just smile and wave. HA HA. People who dislike you can't stand it when your nice to them! HA!

Jules -- I have no clue how a cavity gets under a filling? Hope you don't need a root canal.

Francie -- OH yeah it does look like him doesn't it?! Love that movie! lol. Ya I think I remember the boot! and wasn't there a dirt one?! Yeah like the every flavor beans, who wants to smell that?! lol. Sorry about the realitor! I say he needs a swift kick! :kickbutt: lol. Sorry to hear about the 4 pounds! Could it be you gained muscle? I know it stinks. That is how I am. If I really try to lose, then I gain and if I don't try then I seem to lose?! WEIRD!!!!!! Maybe write down everything you eat? Unless you do that already? :shrug: GL with the councilor! I know its scary! Don't give up! I know it seems like its not going right, but it will! I need to be giving myself that same pep talk! lol. Here is your little cheerleader: :cheer3: lol.

BIG BIG :hug: to everybody!!

had a nice relaxing day today......finished up the kids laundry.....I can't wait until we have a house! I will be doing laundry non-stop as soon as we move in! we have a whole bunch of stuff that we have been trying to get washed, but we always end up with no money for it....so it has been sitting and waiting for our money tree to sprout! I will be feeling like Cinderella for sure when that happens!

I think Marissa has more than just a cold. She started out with a Croup cough.....and she doesn't seem to be getting better. She keeps waking up crying in her sleep, but then ends up falling back to sleep. I am going to call tomorrow to see if their pediatricians office is open.....if it isn't we will head off to the urgent care.

Jules~ It is good to hear from you! Any plans for this week?

Sue~ I continue to keep your mom in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery! I like all the rings that you have picked. I am a sucker for the anniversary band. I told Tommy that I want an anniversary band for our 10 year anniversary......but I was then informed that I could get an upgrade on my ring......so I might get both but I am not sure! you said it right....decisions, decisions.

Francie~ As far as I know, she works.....as far what she does, I don't know. I am not sure either if she has any friends.....I have seen more family over there than anything else....but I am not sure. She is just a pain in my butt! We had that same thing happen to us with the mortgage people last year. It finally took me sending the realtor an email to ask her if he (the mortgage guy) always gives his customers the run-around like that. Then she emailed me back and told me that he told her that he didn't think we were being serious about it. So, I sent him an email and told him that if he doesn't start to take us seriously we will go through someone else. Needless to say, he made sure to always keep in contact with us from then on! I am the same way with lists! Tommy says that I just like to write....but I function better when I have a to-do list.

Sassy~ I hope your FIL gets better soon! I keep telling Tommy to just let it roll off our backs because karma will get her in the end.

Sassy~ I hope your FIL gets better soon, and doesn't end up in the hospital. Thanks for the little cheerleader. I wish I had seen that sooner. I had a really bad night last night..and now I'm making up for it today. I'm already tracking my food. I just need to rethink my food choices.

Mindee~ Fonzo said that if the realtor cancels one more time, he's going to call him up & tell him that I'm going down there. This is getting really annoying. We told the realtor that we're ready to spend major $$$ too!! You'd think we'd be taken seriously!! I know how you feel about the laundry. I have bags & bags of clothes that need to be washed..but we just don't have enough money to do it all. I can't wait till we have our own house. I'll be doing laundry for DAYS!!! Can you believe that I actually want to do laundry? LoL!!

Well like I told miss Sassy, I had a terrible night last night. I think it's because every time I watch any award show, I snack on popcorn, and this time I didn't. I was having BAD cravings, and actually gave into them. I wanted to throw up afterward too. That is something I never do, and never want to do. :( I didn't though...but came pretty close. I'm so ashamed of having that thought. But I'm coming clean, so hopefully thoughts like that will go away forever.

Anyway...moving on to something different. Did anyone watch The Golden Globes last night? My fave show Glee won an award!! And my fave guy, Chris Colfer won for Best Supporting Actor. I was so happy he won, I started bawling, lol!! Kurt is seriously one of all time fave characters. I'm so glad he won!! Natalie Portman won for The Black Swan, but that wasn't anything new. I knew she would. She's a cute preggo..and I loved her dress. I may just buy the knockoff, lol!! The Social Network won a bunch of awards too. That movie is awesome!! Overall, it was an okay show. I hated the host. Last year he was hilarious, and this year, he was just mean. Robert Downy Jr. should host it next year, LOL!!! He's funny, and is nice eye candy. ;)

OKay...I'm going to go get ready. We're FINALLY going to see True Grit! LoL!! I keep bugging Fonzo about it, lol!!

Hey Gurls!

http://dl8.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...b26clj8zqz.gif

Hee Hee Isn't Minnie Cute? Made me think of us.....:love:

Anywho. Speaking of a bad day -- food wise.........GEESH. First woke up to a HUGE breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast by DH and then he made dinner tonight too! Spaghetti and Meatballs, from scratch I may add, except the spaghetti! lol. That would be impressive!! lol. We ate spaghetti and meatballs and drank wine........http://dl3.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...ur1xz0xszh.gif and this one just cracked me up cuz it looks like our cat: http://dl5.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...en4m00fkcd.jpg

We also watched Knight and Day with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. It was pretty good. Guess I liked it. lol.

Mindee -- I feel like I do laundry non-stop and its just DH and me so I can imagine! Our W & D is in the basement so I do at least get a little work out going up and down those stairs and then again upstairs to put the clothes away. lol. Aww I hope Marissa gets well soon! Yeah that Karma, she is a b!itch! lol.

Francie -- BIG :hug: Sorry you had a bad night. I've had some bad nights like that too and have had some of those thoughts too. I know its tough. So BIG :hug: to you my friend. :hug: I need to get on the ball. Just zero motivation. I think I need to start setting the alarm and getting up at the same time everyday and just get movin'. I didn't get to watch the Golden Globes. I didn't even know that Natalie was Preggo? Who's she preggo by?? I watched the Social Network and I dunno, I asked DH, "Is there anybody who is a multi-billionaire who didn't stomp all over people to get there? I want to see True Grit too. I haven't seen the original in a LONG time.

Well guess that is enough of me. :blah:

Big :hug:

P.S. I am listening to some of the N.K.O.T.B new stuff and Wow! I didn't even recognize it was them!! :fr: anywho that is all I had to add! HA!

doing my daily pop in......

it seems that bad eating was "on the menu" for some of us! add me to that list.....I just can't seem to get stuff out of my head and then if we have it at the house, I search for it. At times like this....I wish I had a lock on my fridge!

BUT I do have to sit down and come up with a menu for dinners. I made chicken quesadillas for dinner tonight. I have some other things to catch up on........but Marissa has been a little off still. I think she has a double ear infection....so I will be calling her pediatrician's office to see if I can get an appointment for her!

I honestly LOVE doing laundry! And I hope that our washer and dryer in our house is in the basement or even if it is on the first floor, and I have to carry the stuff upstairs.....I don't mind! I am ready to have stairs to climb!!! I am even hoping that we can find a four bedroom house.....I want to have a home gym.......even if I have to get the stuff off of freecycle, I don't care.....I had a stationary bike when I was trying to lose weight after I had Brandon, and incidentally what led to Logan!

It seems like everytime I start on a weight loss adventure and start to lose weight......I get pregnant.......and when we move it always seems I am pregnant.........(shhhhhhhhh! no mention on facebook though!) BUT it is not looking like it this time.........so more time to focus on the weight loss and keeping it off!

Mindee~ Omg..are you sure you aren't pregnant???? I want a home gym too. All we have is a bunch of exercise games, dvds, weights & an elliptical. I want to get a treadmill when we get a house. I hate walking outside, LOL! And you're crazy if you walk outdoors in Arizona..unless you have a death wish. LoL!!

Sassy~ I <3 Minnie Mouse!!! I still have my Minnie from when I was teeny. I snuck it in my luggage when I was moving out of my mom's house, lol!! Her bow fell off a few years ago in a laundry mishap :( Thanks for the hugs..I needed that. To become a billionaire, you have to stomp on people. LoL!! Who cares if you have no friends in the end. You can just buy them, hahaha!!! I cant believe that guy is only 26. I feel like a loser. My mom always told me to take computers seriously..and I never did. LoL!!

True Grit was REALLY good!!! But some annoying woman talked during the ENTIRE movie!!! Seriously..why do we always sit next to the talkers?!!?!? UGH!!! She kept repeating all the lines to her boyfriend. I guess he was deaf or something..I mean, why else would she need to repeat everything to him!?!

I've started drinking protein shakes. I bought strawberries N cream. It tasted like the Fruit Loops milk, lol!!

Anyways..I'm sleepy, so I'm going to bed.

Hey Girls.

http://dl9.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...l7wwwruox8.jpg

Mindee -- OMG OMG!! Well :congrat: GF!! :high: I wish you well in everything! Yes I do not mind doing laundry actually either. Even hiking up and down 2 sets of stairs, I call it extra VERY necessary exercise! ;)

Francie -- Minnie is the originally Diva. :) She is the Classic that will always be cool. Saw this and made me think of you: http://dl8.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...y0p72aorh2.jpg
YW for the hugs. :hug: Ya I guess your right about that about being a billionaire, but I would like to help people that are good to me, but what do I know? I'm def no billionaire! lol. Ya only 26 and a billionaire! Wow!!!!! I know what ya mean seems like every time we go to the movies we have to sit by some annoying people or they sit by us! DH and his friend actually are going to the movies tonight, but I didn't feel up to going. I have a MAJOR headache!! :headache: Caffeine! UGH. I was even gonna make me a cup of coffee to help, but my creamer is bad! :( Oh well I guess I'll survive! HA! Ya know I thought about trying the Protein Shakes. Might have to give them a try!

We are supposed to be getting 4-8" of snow on Thurs - Fri. I think the city will prob shut down if we do! HA HA! They can't handle snow here. lol. Anywho. I do have a question. Ya know about the interview that got cancelled last week? She hasn't called or emailed me yet about rescheduling. Should I email her and if so what do I say? She contacted me first, then called and cancelled the interview but said that she'd be in touch, should I wait for her?

Thanks All!

:hug:

hey ladies....how are you all doing?

I guess I should have re-read my novel before I posted it! As of right now, I am not pregnant......I was just pointing out the past adventures in getting healthy that I have been on! I do have to say though, that I do have/want another little one....and since I was informed at the doctor's office that one of my tubes has become unblocked, it isn't completely out of the question....just I guess a matter of timing!

Francie~ I have honestly had sneaking suspicious for various reasons that I might be.....but then I always end up getting AF so that blows it out of the water. Just before I got AF this month, I had sent Tommy a text message that said "I could really go for a Crunch Wrap (from Taco Bell) and some nachos with cheese, right about now!" His response was "are you f-in pregnant?" The best was on NYE.....we were at my sister Katy's house, and she had some Queso con Carne mixed with some spicy cheese in a crock pot.....I couldn't get enough of it.....in fact, I think that was the only thing I ate that night was nachos with that cheese. Tommy saw me getting some before the night was over, and he says to me "you have been a cheese freak lately." (When I was pregnant with Brandon, I craved the Jalapeno cheese from Hooters! We just bought some Jalapeno cheese from the local Amish cheese shop over this past weekend)

I do also have to add that while we were in Walmart on Friday night, I went past the womanly items (on my way to chase after the kids) and stopped in my tracks by the pregnancy test aisle because I saw $4 on the price tag. I brushed it off, and went after the kids. When I had to chase them again, I had to go back by the aisle again....so on my way back to where Tommy was at, I stopped and looked to see which test was that price and how many were in the box. I do have to say that I caught myself off guard BECAUSE I go by that aisle numerous times and NEVER stop myself in front of it for anything. I almost grabbed a box just to see what would happen, but we don't have the money to literally pee away right now.

As for workout stuff.....right now, I have free weights and some DVD's, wii fit and wii games. I want to get a stationary bike and a treadmill when we move....and I would even be happy with putting them into the basement if I needed to. With how treacherous some of the winters here in MI can be, I would love to be able to walk/run whatever, even in the yuckiest of weather! (and I might add.....the yuckiest weather is usually the time of year that I want to get out and walk/run....and for me to say run is an accomplishment because I never run....but I know that in order to get the extra weight off, I need to do it!)

I do have to say that when I can get on here on Wednesday, I will be researching Penn Foster schooling.....I will have to go on the "payment plan" and everything......BUT I can do the schooling at my pace and in the end, be able to get a job! I was leaning towards Medical Billing and Coding.....so that I can work from the house.....which is still an option.....but I will get information on more than that and make my decision after talking with Tommy.

I'm going to see a counselor today...I'm nervous..wish me luck..

good luck Francie!

grrr...there are reasons when you are given the option to leave a job with a large lump sum of money and the opportunity for a decent check from unemployment that you should TAKE IT AND RUN!!! Damn I was so stupid to go back....

Exchange day...paycheck for bills and groceries...now I remember why I can't just quit my job...off to to errands....

checking in before I head off to bed......

We were able to get out and have some dinner and go to walmart just the two of us.....and I don't know why but we seem to be in a "funk" lately. It seems like we tend to get into petty/stupid arguments for no reason.......it drives me batty and I have no clue why or where the "funk" came from. I thought it was because we haven't spent that much time together......but tonight was just the same when we got home! I sat on the couch with Marissa and he was on the computer. I am so fed up and really :?: because I don't know what to do.....I am seriously at a loss.

now that I got that out.....I am feeling a little better.......but I am going to head to bed now.

my eating is getting better....I had a grilled chicken caesar salad while we were at dinner.

Mindee--Hubby and I get like that sometimes...it will pass...

Ashton and I are having our early morning alone time.

Alone time? What is alone time? LOL... I want some of it anyway!

Just busy here..mom came home and is doing pretty well. Take it one day at a time.

I had to run to the grocery. Came back and made potato salad for tomorrow. I told them we are having grilled burgers and salads...pretend summer.

Still have to dust and pick up around here. I did mom's room while she was gone..now need to finish the rest of the house. Thank goodness for DH as he did Swifter for me...lol.

Nothing new...darn weather is prohibiting me from shopping....even the grocery trip was so crowded. I will be glad to have a day to just go to the Mall and wander around.

Hope you are all doing okay..I will surely get caught up and do some indies one of these days.

another typical night around here.....everybody asleep by 8pm.....some in their beds and some on the couch.....and I got to watch Antiques Roadshow.....now I am on here!

I did see the number on the scale go down again....so that was nice to see.......not sure what I will end up doing, but I am tired of being the only one up at times with no one to talk to or to even spend time with Tommy playing cards or a game or anything.

Just dropping by to say HI...nothing really going on, well, nothing anyone wants to hear. Always something going on, lol...anyway. Hoping all is well with everyone, adios

sounds like our house Cristina!

Hello and a Happy Sunday to ALL!

Okay, guess I will start a new thread...thinking we ALL should take turns doing it though (not trying to be a with here).

OKAY, SO YOU know the routine...DO NOT POST HERE! Head on over to BIK #95...see ya there :wave:
