Mornin'

UPS~ it is heartening to know someone who had a supportive childhood. Part of me alway thought is was just the way of the world to live with put downs and then to overcome it. I have such great hopes for my own kids.

Annie~ my hubby told me the other day that we are the only family in town with a kitten powered spinning tree. LOL!!!! Tooo funny. Bless your DD.


All is peaceful at the moment. Clyde is eating. Rainbow is locked in the bathroom. She is a piggy and jumps all over Clyde while he trys to eat.He is not amused.
Both kids are still sleeping. Looooong day for them yesterday. Hockey practise right after school every Monday is the WORST time of our week for all of us. It is wretched.
School Christmas concert is tonight. Dressed rehearsal this aft. I made a horse costume for DS last night. He is in a play called “A Holiday Mooseical”.DD Is opening with 3 songs.

Yesterday was a sort vacation for me.LOL. I took the time to connect with 3fc friends and looked up recipes. I had 4 kids here. Packed some Avon. It was really cold -15C, sunny and the snow on the trees was sooooo prettty. My camera was out of batteries.Bummer.

Communication with my hubby is a chore some days and others it just flows tickety boo. The exchange I wrote about yesterday was only a few minutes out of a whole day. It’s something we work at. He IS without a doubt a loving man. He is an incredible father and always has been. He is a work in progress as a husband, LOL.We had a nice evening last night.

Not sure what today holds with kids. I have 1 family off for a week because the oldest had her tonsils out.It is a school day for the big kids.2 other may be off. Dad’s a farmer. i have them less in the winter. But it is deer hunting season and good snowmobiling weather so ya never know. I had 1 guy arrive by snowmobile yesterday.
I need to finish up Chirstmas shopping. Santa needs to get Bella dancerella for DD and a Soccer ball for DS.I may even get some cards done. Baking too.

HUGS!!

Good evening,
I'm enjoying a quit evening alone. Dh is at work. The oldest got a call to a fire. The youngest is out visiting a friend. It is nice. I got a diet van coke and am just veggin out...LOL.
I made it to curves today and food's been fair. all and all a good day.


Holly: After 31 years of marriage Dh is also still a work in progress. He is mellowing out. He finally out grew that crap of thinking he's the boss.
I'm always telling him I love him but I don't like him....LOL.
You just have to keep working at it everyday.

:grouphug: LATER

Good morning ladies,
You ladies are great, I'm glad everyone is doing okay!
I freaked out yesterday when I stepped on the scales, I thought I gained 2 pounds and went crazy and almost started crying. I stepped on today and I'm glad it was just water retention so I lost 1 pound :D
Everyone have a great day **hugzzz**

YAAAAWWWWWNNNNN!!!
Need more coffee!!

The Christmas concert was brilliant!!! My DD sang the loudest out of everyone, LOL!! May have a rockstar on my hands.
DS also did very well. Damn ,these little guys are cute.

Just got DS on the bus. Time for coffee. 4 kids here ,2 more coming.
Made some caramel popcorn for the first time yesterday. It vanished. My family loved it. Will have to make more for gifts. Made fudge too. Will put 1/2 away and let my vultures have the rest.
Had a great night with hubby. Stayed up too late tho. I dont have a book right now and I watched TV til 1.
Need to get some orders out and pick up some baking supplies and lunch meat. I have a couple parcels to build and get in the mail.
It is quite cold but fresh and clear. -14C.

No great epiphanies today.

HUGS!

I weighed Monday and was up 2 pounds! But I think it was just water. I was so disappointed but then decided, what the heck! Tomorrow is another day. I wanted to be at 199 by the new year but I don't think I will make it. But that okay. I'll just set another goal day. As long as I do it, that is what counts.

Have a great day everyone! :carrot:

Hey everyone,
I had a good day, stayed op. I didn't make it to curves but did lots of walking at work. I'd like to have something exciting to tell everyone, but my life is boring...SAME OLD SAME. :blah:

Betty: :welcome2: Try increasing your water. It'll pull all that water out. You'll be in onderland before you know it.

Emma: :cp: Way to go.

Later

Hello Ladies,
:cheer: wo0t okie!! Good for you!! :cheer:

Debbie you are a god for staying op! :flow1:

I pigged out today and the day before so bad that I'm almost through with my flex points!. I actually ate anything that popped into my head or crossed my path.. Its almost that time of month and its really getting bad. I never really craved food that much near my periods, exept dark chocolate of course.
I really need to get a grip and try to at least stay op for the rest of the week :stress:

Not much to say....shocking I know. HUGS!!

Okie: WOOO HOOO :dance: I am so proud for you.. :hug:

Jigglybits: I have days like that. When I can't get enough to eat.

Holly: I'm at a loss of words over your silence..LOL

For some reason WWon-line won't let me sign on. I sent them a message to see what the problem is. It shows I'm a subscriber but won't let me into my stuff. ???
I'm heading to the shower and early to bed. Everyone have a great evening.

Missed the storm.It went all around us. London Ont got tons too I stayed home last night. Roads are bare today.
DS is on the bus.Need to hit the shower. Taking 5 kids to the early years program. I need a change of scenery. Very nice day yesterday. Got a lot of baking done and hubby worked some on the bathroom.
We are thankfully very un-busy for the holidays. Much saying “no” has gone on! Relativley painless. Hockey tonight. I dont think I will go. Gym is done for 2 months.
I have 5 kids off for most of the 2 week school break and then 2 others just part time. Lots of family time. Our kids are in school til the 23rd.
Well, best go scrub the gunge off.
Have a peachy day.

Hey everyone,
What a pain in the rear. For some reason I couldn't get on here or ww. I had to go to the hassle of changing both passwords to get on. Quess what. I just put the same password I've been using all along back in. I don't know why???
I had the problem at work and here. Dh wants to blame aol but we don't have aol at work. Oh well...I"M HERE :crazy:
I didn't do so well on food. I bought fried chicken for the boys. Oh yes! I did! I ate 2 pieces, mashed potatoes and coleslaw. I was over my daily points by 9... OOOPS!! :shrug:

Holley: I know how disappointed you are to not get snow...LOL


Hope everyone is well, :grouphug:
Later,

Debbie: :yikes: FRIED chicken?? :nono: Its okay, try to make up for it the rest of the week :hug:

I'm doing okay, OP exercise n all. I'm a little uninspired on the exercise part, I had to drag my @ss to the gym yesterday. I just wanna make it through this week with avoiding all the cravings due to "french lady" knocking the door soon :)

Debbie~ comfort food IS comforting. Hope you enjoyed each bite and then you can eat clean today! HUGS!!
Jiggly~ woohoo, WTG!!!

Perky morning.This could be wishful thinking at the moment.
Good day yesterday.Great actually. I took 5 kids to Early Years. Another caregivier with 5 kids was there. She and I were dressed exactly the same right down to our socks. Too funny. The caregiver uniform: denim coloured socks, faded blue jeans, faded blue sweatshirt.
I ended up dropping two of my kids at her place for a play date. Brought 3 home for lunch, 2 went home at 1 and then I took off with a little one and finished my Christmas shopping.I spent a $100 on pj’s, socks and undies for my three sweeties.Today I go to the rink to pick up custom embroidered hockey hats for DS and DH.
I laid down at 9 last night to read and then slept til 8:42 this AM, now my back is achey from laying down for so long.
Hockey game tonight at 6pm. Cookie baking this aft. Did some 15 min Flylady cleaning, vacuuming today too.
Very mundane although cheery.
HUGS!

Hello All,
What a week! I worked almost 10 hours every day. I keep thinking to myself that sometime the work will slow down..right? It's just got to!

I had a big gain at the scales this week. I was up 3 lbs! We didn't have a meeting the week before due to a snow storm. I know that I really need the weekly accountability or I gain very easily. My goal is to get those 3 lbs of by the last weighin of the year which will be on December 29.

We are staying home this weekend and just taking it easy. I'm grateful because the next two weeks and weekends will be busy. I love the holidays but I'm always grateful to get back to a routine.

Debbie: Fried chicken..well...at least it was protein. My comfort food has been white chocolate reese cups. I found out I can tolerate white chocolate with my IC. I know it was better for me when I didn't know this because I wouldn't touch anything chocolate but white chocolate is not acidic so it doesn't bother my IC..but you know what? I bothers my waist line!

Holly: Enoy the hockey game tonight.
