Hello Everyone...
Sorry its so late for me getting in here and I have been so very busy today..
I took my friend to the Dr. for a second oppinion on her hand.. and I also had a Dr. appointment today.. Hubby too... check-ups and RX refills..
Everything was fine.. I was happy for that...
The day flew by...We had only 1 hour to get home after seeing the Dr. and get to the gym... I have been trying to play catch-up on emails and phone calls this evening and now its super late and I am tired..
I wanted to come in here and say hello before going to bed...
I agree with you Rosey.. I laughed so hard when I saw Donna's post..
Where is everyone???....I have been asking that for awhile too...:lol:..
That was tooooooooo funny....:rofl:

Rosey..Sounds like you have been a very busy lady today too...
Where does the day go???
I know you would be in here sooner or later...You are so faithful posting..
We all are so blessed to have you here..
I was like you...I had no coffee this am except a sip.. I was in such a hurry to get my friend to the Dr. on time this am and traffic was so bad...I was not with it untill the afternoon.. I need my coffee..:lol:
I hope that you got some rest.. I need to go to bed now.. I am pooped too..
Have a great Friday and Weekend.. :love: :wave:

Glen... I forgot that Hank Jr had a sister named Jett.. I remember now all the stink in the newspapers about the fight over money and Hank Sr. Estate... etc... It was big fight they were having over it all...
I heard her sing along time ago..She wasnt bad from what I remember....Thats right David and Lefty are brothers and they are good friends of Moe Bandy and Joe Stampley..I like the older 70's 80's and some 90's CM singers... Some of todays country music singers are real good..... but some dont even sound Country or look it either..:lol:..
More like Pop Rocker's...:lol:
Have a great Friday and Weekend :love: :wave:

Donna... Thank-you for all you kindness for Buddy....
I am taking him a few things for his BD to his house next weekend..
He is not up to a party or much of anything..
Poor guy..I keep praying for him...
How have you been??? What have you been doing besides school things with Elena and cleaning and cooking and homework and laundry and etc.. Is that enough..:rofl:...I know you have been busy....but we do MISS YOU..
Hope to hear more soon... Have a great Friday and Weekend :love: :wave:

Dana....Daphne....Kris....:cb: :cb: :mag:.....I Miss you ALL
Have a great Friday and Weekend :love: :wave:

Hello Chickies...

I cant believe I am the first to post today.. I am sure that eveyone is real busy..I have errands to run and things to do..I am looking at carpet cleaning machine from Bissle...I have to see different ones before I buy one..Not sure ye if I will buy... Just pricing and checking them out..
Its sunny and hot today.... I wanted to go to the pool but to much to do.
Hopefully I will get there this weekend if the weather stays nice.

I want all of you to have a great weekend.. Do something just for "YOU"
Hope all is well with each of you..

Got to run hubby here for lunch...

I Miss You All.....:yes:.....:wave:..:love:

It's hard to believe that just this time last week I was enjoying the beach. Last week although it was not just 'us' I felt it was a relaxing time and I give that the credit for the burst of energy most of the week. Yesterday, if this house could talk it would be journaling that it didn't know what happened to me that it never laughed so much in it's life with being tickled from a duster, vacumn cleaner and steamer. :lol: I feel like my home has been neglected for some time and it got a major blessing yesterday. Flylady would of whipped me with a wet duster if she knew it but I worked just about all day long yesterday.

I'm so glad it's Friday. Tomorrow, no waking up so early for school. I think Elena's first week in school went well and that maybe her adjustment period will be shorter than half the year like last year. :cool:

DH is off today (another reason to get all that done yesterday) and we went to the bank and talked with the loan officer about refinancing our home equity loan. I hate it but we need to do something and the guy there didn't seem to feel our situation was hopeless so I felt some better. Not wanting a mortgage again but may have to.

Looking ahead, this is my last friday to be in the low forties. LOL In one week I'm having a birthday. OH JOY! (NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) It's really no big deal but mid forties??? Can't be possible. :dizzy:

The minor league team of the Atlanta Braves team's last year in our area is this season. We may be going to a game tonight and we will take my niece and nephew whom I carpool with. It should be fun. I hate that they are moving to Mississippi. It was our town's fault though. I will miss them. Some major names started out there with the Greenville Braves and it was exciting to be a part of it.

Well, as for diet... I did have a YUMMY salmon salad at lunch with DH. He told me this morning he feels he has lost some weight. UGH! I found it for him I'm sure. Anyway, I am making my mind up what route I want to take to get back on track. I will though because now it will be easier for me to stay OP with Elena in school.

Need to go. Have a great weekend every one. :coffee: :cheers:

Hi everyone..here its late afternoon and my first post..whats up with that :lol: anyways as i was having coffee and getting thr dh ready togo to the cabin in walks dd ready togo shopping :lol: i hadnt even had a shower and was still in my nightie :lol: well the dh left and then i quick got ready and away i went again :lol: so now im here.. we went shopping for stamping stuff and out to lunch..had fun.. and yes summer it seems lately im very busy :lol: :?: :lol: donna i can relate to the diet thing..one thing thats helping me is i made a list of all the tips and ideas i have been reading about from magazines and ww and atkins etc..and am picking the ones that i know work for me..sorta a tailor made diet plan..what i know that really works is tho is restricted diet (whatever that may be) and exercise(and alot of it)my youngest dd who tried to have the gastric surg and couldnt becuz of finances has been doing a modified ww and lots of exercise and she has lost 82 # since january..im so proud of her and she is looking great and works really hard.. i need to take lessons from my kids :^: my point is when you are motivated it works its just getting that motivation back :?: anyways im going back to curves monday..i dont want to and have run out of excuses..i know its good for me even tho i hurt and puff like steam engine when i go..i am going back period!!!!anyways thanks for listening yall didnt mean to go off on a tangent there.. i guess my lack of will power had really bothered me..hello to the rest of our group and hope you all have agreat weekend..will check in later((((((((hugs))))))) rosey :wave:

:lol::lol: Rosey! OK they found me. I amjust busy with this being that last few days before I receive my freedom! The kids go back next Tuesday, the day after Labor Day.
I will be able to post more when they get back into school. I hope that you win big tonight! Not that is is any of our business but what do you sell a card for? I know Dana sells her way to cheap but a lady I know was selling a 4 pack for 10 dollars and they were not super cute. If I am spending $2.50 on a card i want it to sparkle, jiggle, shimmy, be embossed or something!
Dana I can't find you on EBAY again. DKBLL? That is how I would see what you were selling!:lol:
I will try and check in sooner but having bathroom issues and a kid that wont behave today.
Miss you everyone else,
Daphne

I will be emailing all of you some pictures in just a few minutes...
I put together at the speed of light a Surprise BD party for Buddy on Saturday..Whewwwwww that was something else..:lol:
I had alot of phone calls and running to get it done Friday..but I it came off and he was a very happy person.. To see that smile back on his face really made my day..
He was feeling good for a change so I took full advantage of it.. He was puffed-up from all the chemo and this new pill he is taking but....all in all.... he was feeling pretty good..That was such a blessing...I was happy to see him so surprised cause his actual BD is in Sept..so he was really surprised..
It was great..

Well I have to get off from here.. I have a meatloaf in the oven and a bathroom to finish cleaning along with vac the house..
Hazel...Hazel... Where are you????? :lol:

:wave: happy aniversary rosey. sorry to hear about the fires.
:) glen

Hello Everyone...Its a great day today.. Sunny but really hot.. I am trying to get to the pool.. There will be a informal meeting at the pool today about extending the pool 1 more week after the Labor day Holiday. It usually closes for the season after that Monday.. So we shall see...It will be nice but if it happens to rain that week.. it will be ashame but no one can predict Mother Nature... I hope they do...we shall see...I didnt go to the gym last night..
Hubby worked late and I wanted to be here to fix his dinner and finish uo some thing.. I wil pay for it some Wednesday..:lol:

Rosey...HAPPY 35TH ANNIVERSARY I hope that your hubby came home to be with you and that you all did something real special...
I am so sorry about the smoke. I hope that your asthma gets better..All that smoke must be really bad.. I hope it calms down real soon and you DONT get any fires..Thats so awful whats happening there...
Thank-you for saying that Rosey.. That was so Sweet of you..but I was glad to do it for Buddy....He really enjoyed himself.. I checked on him today and he is not feeling to good....he has good and bad days.. Poor guy..
WAY TO GO on your exercising :bravo:..I know its hard but it all pays off..
I saw a lady that owns a resturant near us and she lost alot of weight going to the same gym we go to.. I had not seen her in a long while and sure enough she gained it back.. She told me that she stopped going to the gym and thats why she gained it all back....That proved to me that exercise is the key.. She is my age. She told me not to stop no mater what when I reached my goal weight...I told her that would not be a problem because it will prob take me forever to do reach it :rofl:... but serioulsy I do believe what she said..I can see the difference when I miss a day here and there.... I admire you going to workout Rosey as I know how difficult it can be for you...You Go Girl :cp: :yes:
Your card prices are so good..how in the world can that lady try to cheat you..thats crazy... By the way..did you win at Bingo??
Again I am sorry that I missed saying happy Anniversary yesterday..
Have a great day..:love: :wave:

Glen.. How have you been???? How was the weigh-in?? Hope all is well with you :love: :wave:

Donna... I can see you have been real busy too..I hope that you get all your house done.. I am trying to find a good carpet cleaner as my rugs and furniture need cleaning real bad..Please tell me what day is your Birthday???
You are only in your 40's..thats young Sweetie.. You will feel no different believe me...Age is only a number......and I am still 39..:lol:....Still...:lol:
I hope you got to the ball game.. That sounded like so much fun..
I know its hard to know what to do with finances....Been there..well still there..I think everyone in todays world has financial worries.. unless they are a millionaires...and I will never know whats that like and even if I was I wouldnt have it long.. I would help others...that would be the only thing to do. I know its so hard to stay on a diet.. I am sure when we go to MB in 12 days..I am counting..:lol: I will gain and I am prepared for that..because when I get back I will buckle-down and lose it..I Hope..:lol:..but I know what you are saying...it will come off Sweetie....it just takes time..
Do you think you will be coming to MB when we are there??? That would be so great..but if you cant I do understand..
Have a great day :love: :wave:

Daphne...Sounds like the children are keeping you very busy.. Thats understandable... I hope that you arent sick..( bathrom issues )..if so please feel better real soon... I miss you girlfriend...
Hope things are going good today..
Have a great day :love: :wave:

Dana..I am getting worried about you...Where are you???
I hope that things are alright with you and your family..

Just A note to check in......Hope all have a great weekend..

Rosey, I am very proud of you for getting right back into the swing of things. Happy Belated Anniversary! I am sorry I missed out on your special day.

Just to let you all know that I feel that someone should start a new thread soon. It may help Daphne or it may not. She seems to always freeze up once she tries to log onto this site. Also, I may not be on very much which recently has been very obvious. I have a lot going on that I do not have the time to spend like I did before on the pc. I still will check in from time to time because you all are my family and this is no way a goodbye. :) So, please someone go ahead and start up a new thread. My birthday is Friday and I hope that maybe that will kick my butt back on plan.

Dana, I miss you and hope that all is well with you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To another Back Door friend number 5!!!! :bravo:

Hello Everyone....Its another beautiful day here...I went to the pool yesterday and I hope I will get there today..The meeting went well.. I enjoyed talking to friends.. We all agreed due to the storm fast aproching maybe its better not to extend the pool.. We will be having extended hours next year like 12-11pm on friday nights for adult swimming..That will be nice.
The year is almost over for the pool and I dont know where it has gone..Its always like that...I guess time just flies....

Rosey...YOU GO GIRL I am so proud of you.. I know its so hard and thats great your dd has inspired you..I hope that in time it gets better and you arent so soar...I will be working on foods too. We can do it Rosey...
When I get back from Myrtle beach I intend to stay good untill the Holidays..
I hope to lose more and see more results..but it all takes time ans alot of hard work... We can do..I know we can..I hope that your asthma is better and you are feeling better.. Hope that your day is good..:love: :wave:

Donna... I am sorry that you are so busy and cant get in here like before..
I could tell of course that you have not been on here much..:lol:
I dont know whats going on in your life and I just want you to know that I miss you here and I hope that what-ever it is gets better for you..I wish I could help in some way.. Yes we are all family in here and that wont change.. I wish that things could be like before..where everyone was here to say hi everyday....I believe we all need the support of each other...its so important....Please dont take that wrong Donna..I am not trying to single you out or anything like that... I do understand....We all have things going on in our lives and it can be hard to post everyday... I guess I just miss everyone and the way it use to be...... I wish you would start number 5 thread..as I dont know how to do it..I havent ever did it and I dont want to miss up anything :lol:.you know me and the computer :lol:
I am sure no one would mind..and if that is stopping Daphne from getting in here it needs to be done ASAP..right.... please know that I am not saying anything about you not posting as much..there are alot of people missing alot from this thread....I just miss everyone...... I remember you talking about people not posting along time ago....It was last year I think..
Alot was going on in here.....Do you remember??
You were sad that it seemed that everyone was losing interest in our thread and not posting very often....I remember because I thought..she is right I need to try to get in here more...to say hi and see how everyone is doing...and also for the reason I came here in the first place... To get support and help with losing my weight..I got more than I bargin for.. I got the support and caring and best friends I could ever have...in that I am so blessed...so you see its hard to say I wont miss you in here and everyone else too..but believe me I do understand that things can be hetic at home and its hard to post everyday...Sorry If I got long winded..I didnt mean too..
Do you have any Birthday Plans????
Hope that you day is good..:love: :wave:

Kris.. Good to hear from you.. What have you been doing??
Hope that your day is good :love: :wave:

Dana.....Daphne....I hope that you both will be back in here soon..
I hope that Donna will start a new thread for us..and if thats been a problem it will fix it.. I miss you all...Have a good day :love: :wave:

I'm crying here as I read Summer and Rosey's posts. My I sure know how to upset people don't I? In no way am I abandoning you all. I just can't be considered as an active part of this thread any more. I have noticed it's been coming to this little by little. Maybe we need a revival? I just have found dealing with the guilt and stress of not being able to focus my time on this site for some time and besides always having to apologize that I haven't posted all the time and trying to 'catch up' with you all and ultimately ending up leaving some one out because of my mind that is over-crowded with all that I have to do, I need to cut myself off for a while. I have found that journaling works best for me because I do not have that pressure of keeping up with everyone although my nature is that I want to but it kills me that I can't any more. Rosey, you and Summer have been so faithful and you both deserve better. I only suggested starting a number 5 because of the problems Daphne is encountering, it may or may not help her. You may keep this until 3fc asks you to close it for being too long. I think that Rosey and Dana as well as Kris know how to start a new thread. I wish you all the best and I will keep in touch. I am going to have to unsubscribe though so please don't take this personally. Please keep me on your personal email address book as I will yours. [email protected]
Love to you all!
:love:
Donna

Hey everyone.. am so sorry donna.. i truly aplogize if i made you feel that way..didnt know you felt so much guilt and certainly dont want you to feel that way.. :?: i just wanted to relate how i feel..no pressure for anyone..now im sorry i said anything :?: hope everything goes well for you and yours((((((hugs)))))) from a very sad :( rosey Ps good luck on your weight loss journey after all thats what we are really here for!!

Hello Everyone......

Donna..

I am so sorry that I made you cry.. Believe me that was never my intention.. I am sorry that you feel you have to leave this thread.. I really cant understand why you feel guilty about anything.. You havent did anything to feel gulity about....I dont think anyone here aways needed you to apologize for being busy...It was always so sweet of you to apologize and we all understood...but in no way did anyone think you had to do that...
We all understand that things were really hetic in your life... and I guess they still are. I know its tough to make time to come in here when you are busy with your family and all...Thats so understandable...We all know how that is...Each of us know its hard to make time to come in here..
I am truly sorry that I have made you upset in anyway...
Thats not what I was trying to do at all..
I just had to say how I was feeling and I also knew that Rosey felt that way..How could she not.. Its hard to come in here and No one be here sometimes day after day... I truly felt really bad when I would read a post from her saying."Its lonely in here".. I know how that feels...
Its very lonely in here at times.. I know cause I have been there...
I dont know whats happen in your life and what ever it is..I sure hope it gets better for you.. We all Love You and Miss You Donna...
I sure hope that you will reconsider leaving..
We all need each other.. Just like Rosey said.
Thats what this thread is all about....Caring...Sharing.. Support and Love and Friendship...Thats why we came here in the first place..
Like I said before....You and all the other wonderful people in here are the best friends anyone can have.....I feel truly blessed with all our "Little Family" in here...I really dont know what else to say other than.....
I Love You and I hope that you know how important you are to all of us in here...If you really feel that you must go.. there is little I can do other than wish you well and hope you will change your mind...
I hope that you will understand what I was trying to say and not be upset.....Dear Little Sister.... I am with Rosey.. I wish now I would have not said anything... I feel so bad...Again I am so sorry Donna....

Hey everyone..(((((((hugs)))))) summer am sorry you feel sad too..i talked to donna thru e-mail and understand where she is coming from and respect her feelings.. we did nothing wrong.. and i wish her all the best with an open door and heart..now about us here.. yes we need each other ..i need the support to help me stay on track so i will not give up..i even exercised at home today and i must say i am still so sore..to bad there wasnt a magic pill..anything worth having is hard work tho right..a friend brought me fresh tomotoes and cukes from her garden..i forgot how good they are from store bought produce.. that was supper with a small hamburger patty grilled in the geroge foreman..im still hungry :( ..the dh left for the cabin again and its quiet around here again :lol: ((((((((hugs))))))) for all rosey :wave:

(((((Roomies))))) Ok I have to say that you all are the best friends I have had. I love each and ever one of you and my door is open to any of you if you are ever down this way. I understand what Donna is saying and Girlfriend I will miss seeing your humor here but I can read your journal and get my fix. I also can im with you when we are both on! Donna you need to do what ever it is to take care of yourself and feeling guilty is not the way to have to feel. I was ready to not come back being as I feel like I have been gone so much and left Rosey to steer the ship all alone. LOL I am glad I re read that being as I had a t at the end of ship and not a p.:lol:
My kids start school Wednesday. AMEN. I have decided to not worry about what I am eatting until then. My weight is the hightest it has been ever in my life. I will start out with walking each day when Robert leaves on the bus. I plan on walking rain or shine. I did so well when i did that last time. I will also be watching what I eat. I am going to tell hubby that I want a membership to Curves. I was going to do the YMCA but I am not comfortable working out in front of men.When I was 16 and had a body I loved it. Now I have 2 bodies!:lol: Does that mean I would get twice the attention?:lol: I will stop the soda and start back on water. I will post at least once a day here so I can be caught up and not feel *guilty*. I am going to use fitday again for food journaling and the Diary site here for daily chat to myself! I am excited when I think about it. Or I am just excited to get rid of the kids for a few hours.:lol::shrug:
I will post later today but have to go and feed Megan. Oh I was going to ask the ladies Deborah, Gayle and Ann from mine and Danas other thread to join us here. They really are a great group and I have known then for 3 or 4 years now here. I think we would all have fun getting to know each other thru them.
Dana I miss you and am worried about you. Rosey I want to thank you for all your dedication to the thread and being such a positive person. Summer you are the most up beat happy thankful cheery swetest person I have ever know, and Donna I love you, you and I share so much in common with our families it is scary. I am here for you when ever you need to talk. Do not feel bad about taking care of yourself for a change. That is what we all want to be able to do.

LMAO @ Rosey:lol::lol: OK how warm does Alaska get? I am sorry but that is just toooooo funny about the cooler weather. I love the sunshine but hate the heat. I like it at around 75* with a slight breeze. I am so proud of you for doing Curves so faithfully. What an inspiration you are to all of us. How is the moose/buffalo hunter doing?:lol:
Summer have fun at that party. I miss having my ex inlaws pool to swim in. I would be in it with my Angelbaby every day in the summer. I hope that you have such a fun time and party hardy! Wow look how far this year has taken you and that dear man of yours? I remember how sad you were last summer missing the pool time and the visiting. Now you have pool partied all summer *weather permitting* and it is closing this weekend. Amazing how much changes in a year. How is he feeling anyhow? How about you? Hw are things going with you?
Donna I miss you already. I do admit I love our IM time. You make me laugh so hard I am sure the family thinks I am crazy.:lol::lol:
Dana I really am worried that something is wrong. This is so unlike you. Please post or e mail and let us know what is up.
Kris and Glen we hope y'alls post soon!
Jason is still gone and has been since Monday. I think it was Monday?:shrug: He hasn't decided if he is coming home this week or not. He went to check out a hunting ground with a friend. He was going to do yard work for a lady Sunday and then just start his week on Monday even though it is a Holiday and the kids will be in school Wednesday. I hate him being gone this long. Grrrrrrrrr. OK Saturday is the start of our Churchs missions week. It is a "concert" Well to me it is the same people singing with the missions added in. Sunday starts the offficial missions week. My problem is Monday the revival starts at 7 and will go till 9 or so. My kids are starting school that week. Megan will have to be up at 6:30 being as she catches the but at 7:15. I can not do that to her. So once again i will be the bad person not being there. I don't think they understand how hard it would be on Megan and me. Robert also will be getting up at the same time or maybe at 7 he catches bus at 8:10. My kids during school are in bed by 8. So now I get to feel guilty for not being there for revival. We also have WINGS once a month. If Jason is gone Sunday I can't go. There is no way that I can bring Megan and Robert. Our one lady my former friend is the WINGS President. "Bonnie" for some reason every time she has Devotions I end up feling depressed. It is the same thing with her husbands preaching. I totally tune him out and will write notes, balance check book anything. Bonnie told me before when i tried to tell her I was hurt that she never had time for me at al, that I had pulled away from Church and was not going as faithfully as before. So i took it if i am not there all the time she sees me as a bad Christian. Her and her hubby have already said that *we are not to be friends with non Christians* Sorry but I don't agree with that at all. I also don't belive that is a very *Christian* attitude. I have been hating going to Church and I used to love it. I guess I am sick of the pot calling the kettle black. I live in a small town where gossip is the favorite thing going.:lol:I have heard some horrible stuff about some members of the Church in their past. Yet I still love them all and defend them. OK I am rambling I just needed to vent sorry.
Daphne

Morning everyone.. :coffee: another beautiful day here..sunny but cool..i have my gr daughter with me since last evening..her parents went out with friends and i got the kid..she gets up early too :lol: but its fun to have her and here all about her first days at school.. shes a big 1st grader this yr..i stayed on ww pts for the first time since before my vacation..i keep trying but must admit i feel really guility about my lack of success..im basically the same size i was 1 yr ago :?: i am getting more physically fit tho thanks to curves.. so one day at a time right..we are planning on bingo again tonight..last week i broke even..thats better than being a looser :lol: mr ken it was nice to see you post.. hows the ww going for you??summer did you have fun at the pool party? and daphnee it was a hot summer here really unsual.. it got in the high 80's.. im like a cooked noodle when its hot.. cant do anything :lol: our weather right now is my favorite..our leaves are turning color allready..well everyone Hailey wants to play with grmas card stuff and since i allready have a mess whats a little more :lol: (((((((hugs))))))) rosey :wave:

Hi everyone..hope you are all having a great day((((((hugs)))))) rosey :wave:

:lol: Rosey I am so lame I didn't think it got to be that warm there! We had I think 4 or 5 days that broke the 100s. a bunch of days in the 90s, most in the 80s.
Oh thank God the kids go back to school on Wednesday. I have never been this easily irritated and sick of them. I will hate having to get up at 6:30 to get Megan ready but I can take naps each day after my walk if I want to! I sitll do nt shee why she is being picked up at 7:15 if her school does not start until 7:45. Her bus ride is like 10 minutes. I gues they will have to entertain her and not me!!!
I hope t see more of you posting soon. I loe and miss you all.
Daphne

Hello Everyone.....
Its late and I am so sorry that I havent been in here sooner.
We had company most of the holiday weekend.. It was fun..
The weather wasnt that great..but the rain held-off untill this evening and then it wasnt that much..so....all in all....the weekend was real nice..
We are suppose to have rain sometime this week from the hurricane..
Those poor people in Fla have been through so very much..
Its such ashame to see all the devastaion they have been through..
I hope its out of here before Friday.. We are leaving for MB then..and I dont want to drive the major highways in a bad rain..
I am sure some of you are getting geared-up for school starting back up.
I went to the store tonight and there were so many people shopping for school supplies and things to make lunches....it was really busy..
Well another pool seasons had come to an end and I will miss it.. :(
I had fun this year and have had so much to be thankful for..
I am happy that my hubby is alright and things are great...
That is a true blessing. :)

Rosey..Glad to see that your weather is how you like it.. I hope you won $$$$ at Bingo...I am sure your gd was having so much fun being with you..
She loves playing with her sweet grammy....I bet she had some great stories to tell about her first day at school...:lol:...
YOU GO GIRL.. Staying OP..thats wonderful...No gain is better that gain.. :yes: Right..You will be seeing results soon...Please dont feel guilty about not losing more.....you will be...real soon......
I know that I will gain on vacation but thats Ok..cause thats what vacation is all about... I made a promise to myself when I get home.. I will buckle down and try to get as much weight off by Christmas as I can..That would be the best gift I could ever give to myself...You will do it Rosey.. I admire your determination..We will do it together..:yes:
I had a great time at the pool party..Thank-you so much for asking..
We played cards and laughed and had a wonderful time with everyone..
I was really good food wise..There were alot ot fattening snacks and I didnt eat them.. I brought my own.. Veggie tray....etc..
The food was good.. Steaks and chicken on the grill and baked pots and salad. Lots of desserts and ice cream... It was really nice..
Have a great week :love: :wave;

Daphne...Thank-you so much for asking about us..That was so Sweet of you
We both are doing great and are very blessed and thankful to the Good Lord above that things worked out so well and we are fine. Yes.... you are so right about how things are so different from last year. Time really flies..
I am looking forward to leaving for the beach Friday...I took hubby last year and he felt so bad..He was determined to go and when i got him there is didnt feel good ans was so tired..we really didnt do anything...
This year is his year... He is so excited about going and us doing the things we could not do last year.. While I am gone to MB I will miss you and everyone in here..but I will happy to be HOME... Thats what I call MB..I love it there and I cant wait for the day to move there.....When I get there I dont want to leave..It sounds like you could use a vacation yourself... Its alot of hard work raising children..So much to do and never enough time to do it in..... Its even harder when you do it alone.. I am sorry that your hubby has to work away from home...Thats so tough on you Sweetie.. I am sorry that its like that...I hope that things get better for you real soon..
I also wanted to say..Please dont say you are a bad person because your couldnt go to the Mission revival concert..You are diffenitly NOT a bad person.. Its not your fault that the revival is to late for you and the children to be there...If anyone has a problem with it...its thier problem not yours..and they should be ashamed of themselves for saying anything..
I really admire you taking a stand on being a true christian.. I liked what you said about not judging others..thats the way its suppose to be.....Thats what being a christian is all about....I am sorry that small towns have to be that way..I usually do not talk about religion or politics because everyone has thier beliefs..and I never want to upset anyone.....but...I just didnt want you to be made to feel bad over something thats not your fault and should never be made to feel that way in the first place..You are a good person...and a wonderful Wife..Mother....Friend and Sweet YAYA Sister.. Always remember that Daphne....Always.......Vent anytime....Its better out than in...:lol:
Have a great week :love: wave:

Mr Ken... Glad to hear from you...Thats right about the song.:lol:..Who did that?? Was it Mickey Gilley???? I am not sure...I cant get over it being hot where you are...Just like when Rosey says it hot there..We never think North can be hot..but it can :lol:..How was your holiday weekend???
Have a great week :love: :wave:

Dana... I am so worried about you... I hope we hear something soon...:mag:
I miss you...:love: :wave:

Donna.. I know that you are not here..but I will still Miss you.. I can only hope that you come back one day..:love: :wave:

Kris.....Whats new with you??? :love: :wave:

If anyone has Dana's number...Please call her..or email me with it so I can call her..I am really worried about her..Its not like her to not post and if she is having pooter troubles she would email us..Since she has not done that... I am worried... :?: :dunno:

I have to go to bed.. I am beat.. its late..
I have alot to do this week to get ready to go to MB....
I will miss you ALL but I cant wait to be there..
Much :love: to you ALL..God Bless and Good Night

Summer have fun!!! Give that DH the time of his life. I am so excited for both of you. You both more than deserve a good time. I hope that we get to see pictures again?
Rosey how did Bingo go? I hope you won the jackpot. Win the jackpot and I will win the lottery and we can have a 3FC party! :lol: What will we serve for food?
I found out that the missions week starts at 6 and not 7. So that is better for the most part. It is still hard on Megan taking her out each night and getting home late. Robert will be home at 3:45 Megan around 3. I would have to feed them dinner, get homework done, etc... I was called and asked if I could do nuresry one night. I agreed to Thursday night. I hope to be able to make it to Wednesday service as well. If Jason was home it would be easier but he isn't. There is also no seperate service for the kids so it will not be relaxing or enjoyable for me with Robert and his mouth and attitude. Megan will have to go upstairs to the nursery. Oh Summer I love to discuss religious beliefs. I would love to study the different religions and their beliefs etc. Right now I am addicted to the show Amish in the City. The Amish religion is just so fasinating to me. The Amish kids cuss and drink and the girls became hoochie mamas when they changed from Amish clothing to city clothing. One of the Amish boys was talking about Amish bars. I guess I am lost as to why Amish forbid somethings and yet have alcohol?

Daphne

Hello Everyone...Its been a busy day for me... I did errands and laundry...
I got some new luggage from Target and now I have to take it back.. The smell of what-ever they treat the luggage with is awful and to over-powerning and I was afraid it will make our clothes smell like that.. So its back to the store tomorrow...Oh well...I will make do with our old ones..This was such a great buy..a 5 piece luggage set. The kind with wheels and ajustable handels..all of that for 40 dollars..maybe now I see why it was on sale..When I got it to the car..the smell was so awfull...I thought well its new and it will go away shortly.. It gave me a headache...so tomorrow back it goes... I will look to see if somewhere else has that kind of luggage on sale..
I have more things to finish tomorrow and I can hardly wait to leave for MB...I am keeping an eye on that other storm brewing out in the ocean..
I pray it goes away..No one needs anymore divistation and destruction...

Daphne... Thank-you so much Sweetie.. I plan on making this vacation the best he has had.. Its his Birthday while we are there and he will have a great one... I pray for good weather and lots of sunshine...
Yes I am taking 2 throw-away cameras with me..
I hope to take alot of pictures...
The only reason I said I dont like to discuss religion is because alot of people get offended about things and I am not saying you do Sweetie. I mean in general so I dont ever want to offend anyone..Some people think thier religion is the only one and so forth.. I believe that if person believes in God and tries to treat others right..that the Good Lord knows that...Thats all that matters...I have seen a few programs about the Amish.. but not the one you mentioned.. I had to laugh about the hoochie Mamas :lol:
I went to Redding, Pa once on a bus trip with other friends to the factory outlet stores there and the Amish people lived there in that town.. They were nice people and were very hard working.. I noticed that they had no modern things in thier homes.. No electric no phone cars etc..They loved the simple life...They all dressed alike and so forth..
As I remember I think that thier religion says they must live that way...but I am not sure about that. I didnt know that they let the kids drink?? I thought they really didnt do anything like that...not that drinking is bad..unless it rules someones life and they are addicted to it..or something like that...Then its bad...or kids drinking.. thats not good either...
I have been told that in some religions they do not believe in drinking at all or wearing make-up or cutting a womans hair and so on.. I dont know if all these things are true..but if a person wants to believe in them..and it makes them happy to do so..then thats alright with me.... I try not to judge someones religious beliefs..If they are happy... I am happy... I thought the Amish people were very kind.. I had a very nice time there...I watched them drive the horse drawn buggys..and I ate in one of thier restuarants..
I guess in todays world that the Amish kids have a hard time with all that..
I can understand...and like Rosey said about the program she watched maybe its to show them the diffference..and let them decide what they want. Anyway..I had a nice time there.. One day I hope to go back...
Thats so nice that you would like to study all the different religions..
Thats wonderful...You are so nice to help out at the revival.... I can understand its still hard on you and the children to get there at that time.
I hope that your hubby gets back real soon....
When is your 40th Birthday if I might ask??..I hope I am back before you have it so I can wish you a proper Happy Birthday...
I hope you have a great time...and party on Girlfriend... :cp: :dancer: :balloons: :cheers:
After what you have said I am really worried about Dana..
I dont know what to think...If you find out anything, please let us know Sweetie...I pray that her and her loved ones are alright...
Thank-you Daphne.. I hope you hear from her..
Have a great evening :love: :wave:

Rosey... Thank-you for that..It was so Sweet of you to say..
I hope that the weather is good too.. Yes.... I cant help but be excited..
I love MB...its home to me.. I know that sounds strange but I feel that way....I cant wait to live there one day soon..
I am sure you were happy to see your hubby back from hunting and you are right.... last year he was to sick to go and now he is making up for it....I am so happy that he is doing so good and feeling good.. Thats wonderful and I know you are happy about that also.. We all have alot to be thankful for this year.. we all are blessed in so many ways....
Way to go winning at Bingo$$$$$....its great to have a no cost evening of fun...Have a great evening :love: :wave:

Hi everyone. I forwarded the e mail I got from Dana. She is having a heck of a time. If you didn't get the e mail then let me know and I will send it to you. She is basically suffering from Hurricain Francis, is being diagnosed with possible thyroid problems and diabetes. She is also working on a new birth control pill.
I am on my 3rd bottle of water today. I had Garden Burger foods for breakfast and lunch. I also just had a Special K blueberry bar for a snack. I weighed in today at a whopping 243.:nono: I refuse to see that number again. I am cleaning out my freezer of all the frozen diet foods I have.:lol:OK I am to lazy to make me food and the kids a different food!
Summer have a fantastic time if we dont hear from you sooner!
Rosey where are you today?:lol: I will keep the site up and running!
