QOTD: I hate toilets and dishes, the 2 things I ALWAYS had to do growing up.
Am I first this morning? That means I have to come up with a QOTD before the end of my post
Angel- how are you feeling? Hope you're better soon.
Melissa- so, if you choose Friday for weigh in, that's tomorrow - the day I weigh in We could live in fear together!
Geri- how did I know you'd find Lay particularly amusing? ? What color do you do your hair? You're really keeping up with this exercise stuff! Good, good, good.
Jill- the dentist? Yuck!
Penny- I actually like Leah as a name But now I'll have to go with Jill's pronunciation of your name just to get you back
Kristin- any big plans today?
Today is the nanny day, so I'm going out to run errands again. What fun - seems like it's all I ever do! Well, that, and avoid laundry for as long as possible.
QOTD: What phobias/fears do you have?
My answer- flying! I'm terrified of it, though used to not be. I'm not exactly sure how/why it developed.
Good morning everyone.
Jaymi, I have Denise's Austin's Fat burning blast also, and I do it without a step because I don't have one, and the work out is hard without one. I may have to do that one today.
My headache is gone, I get headaches that are horrid during TOM and sometimes the week after.
For those of you that don't know, my name is pronounced Ricky.
Angel, I hope you get to feeling better soon.
Leigh, when does dh get home?
Hi, Jackie. Glad you could check in. Hope to see you more when school starts.
Penny, It sounds like you will enjoy teaching. Keep us posted.
Michelle, how did the party go?
Geri, you are doing great with your workouts and exercise.
Jill, have fun at the dentist. I just went a few weeks ago and had $700 worth of stuff done.
HI, Kristen. Hope you are having a good day.
Well, I am trying to get myself and Eric on a school schedule. So far so good. And I have been doing really well with WW. Maybe I will see a loss this week.
Qotd: I am TERRIFIED of flying. Always have been. I have never been on a plane. When people I know are flying, it freaks me out. My mom is going to Hawaii this weekend, and until I know she has landed safely, I will be going nuts.
Penny, Michelle, Jill - Had a blast chatting with you last night Now go put on your husbands underwear! lol!
Leigh - no big plans today. Have hte neighbor kids for 2 more days. We went to the park the first day and the zoo yeterday..I'm pooped, its all rainy here today so far so I think we are just going to stay home, play outside kind of thing. I don;t have the energy to go anywhere!
I have seemed to get a lot of exercise, but I am not eatting right at all. I can't seem to get myself on track lately. ggrrr...snack snack snack, thats all I do! Well the kids are arriving soon, so I better get off here!
QOTD: I am not sure what my fears are, the only thing that I can think of is that I will lose someone else in my family to a tragic accident. We have lost so many lately, and I always find myself thinking about what I would do if I lost my huby, daughter or someone else close to me. NOt a lot lately though, try to curb those thoughts right away, so I don't get upset!
Morning Ladies. Bugga Bug had another crazy night. Man between the TOM and NO SLEEP, I am liable to be quite *itchy. SO far, I'm holding my own. I wish I could get a cup of coffee, but I don't drink/like it at all.
Geri and Leigh: Penny and I decided to do a challenge. It goes like this. For the next 10 weeks, we have to lose at least a 1/2 lb per week. If each week we don't, we have to send the other one $1.00. The dollars get saved. At the end the dollars get used to buy something new...up to $10.00. Of course, I'm hoping Penny won't have any dollars from me and I'm sure she's hoping the same. AT the end of 10 weeks, if we are down 10lbs. We get a bonus. Each of us picks out a nail polish and sends it to the other. I thnk the official weigh in would have to start next wednesday or friday. We need a starting point.
Penny, LMK what day is good for you. How was your religoin class meeting yesterday? We belong to the catholic church here too. They do have a Sunday school for the little kids. 3-5yo. I have to look into it this year for Abigail. Our church is large, I don't know about yours. I also have trouble taking Patrick, so my Dh normally walks there with DD. It's become special time for them. Only problem is I don' t get to go as often as I would like. Bugs just screams the WHOLE time. It's very stressful for me ..and him I guess.
Morning, Michelle, Kristin, Jill, Angel, Cheri, Crystal, Cindi, Ricci and Jamyi ...and You too Spryng where ever you are. I'll check in later.
OH yes, the QOTD....I'm affraid of two things: I hate Escalators. I get goose bumps and the hair stands up on my arms. Fell down a flight when I was four. My other fear is losing my husband.. Since 9/11 I have terrible terrible fears everytime he gets on a plane. I feel sick until I hear from him.
Morning all. Sorry I didn't post anymore last night. Dh took us out to eat Chinese and when we got back storms hit and hit hard all night. Still suppose to have them alot of today too.
I'm trying to get breakfast done and Andrew isn't feeling well. Must be something the storms brought in. Stuffy, runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, etc. I'm gonna just baby him all day and crochet.
Hope everyone had a great night and has a great day.
QOFD: I don't know of any. I'll think about it and post it later.
TTYL
First off QOTD: I'm terrified of death, of not knowing for sure if I'll ever get to see my loved ones again of not making sure all our time together is special. We make sure we tell each other that we love eachother several times a day. I'm also afraid of flying now that 9/11 came.
Melissa good luck on that challenge!! Sounds fun!
Penny, Jill, Kristin, I had a ball talking with all of you last night!!!
Ricci the party was great until we had to leave at which point taylor threw a mega fit, because she wanted to stay and bbq a goldfish from the goldfish pond!! What a nut!!
Ok well I better get my big ol butt up and doing something! Love to all
Michelle
Mel,
Ok I usually weigh in on Sunday but I think either day would be ok with me. I don't mind weighing twice a week. What is your usual day for weigh in? Hope you get some rest today! Sry Patrick was up all night
Kristen,
I know we can get it together. Are you drinking all your water? Are you cutting down on as many carbs?
Ricci,
When does school start there?? Hope your school schedule is working out good! And about the flying, my bil and sil live there and it is a 13 hr flight from here. So I know what you mean!
Leigh,
I know that you really don't wanna run errands but at least you will get out the house! When is your next book club? Is hubby home yet?
QOTD,
I have a fear of Unsolved Mysteries..... lol I have never been able to watch that show and everytime it comes on I get spooked! I know silly but I'm serious! ..... lol
Angel,
Sorry you aren't feeling well Thats horrible. Sending ya some good vibes :vibes:
Geri,
WOW That's alot of exercise You are doing wonderful. And congrats on the hair cut! Color it and then snap us a pic....
Oh no Finish this later......... Andrew is chewing on the doggy bone
This is Cindi, pronounced...sin dye. Just incase you needed to know!
School starts next week, so it's busy here for me. I have been shopping for school supplies and taking care of appointments while I have the built in babysitters!
Glad to see everyone doing well, with exercising and stuff. I am really not and kinda expect a gain this week, but I am just on the run alot and have not prepared properly for it. I really need to get on track again soon!! Maybe when we settle into that school routine it will be easier! I am hoping!!!
I have to go get kids ready to meet their teachers today, I know it's early, but it will probably take me that long!!!
Lmao!! Cindi!!! I was like well crap I guess I can't read for shiznit lol I say it SIN-DEE lol you funny lady thanks for confusing me You should know that it doesnt take much
Hi everyone. First thing I want to say is LOL to Penny about Unsolved Mysteries. My family used to watch that show all the time when my sister and I were kids and we would leave the room when the theme song came on at the beginning and the end of the show. It freaked us out too! However I liked the middle of the program, still do. Did you know that it's on again and they are showing new ones? Just thought I would tell you so that you can avoid it! LOL!
My biggest fear, besides death and losing loved ones, is spiders. I HATE them! It's really bad now though cause I am a mom and I'm supposed to set a good example and I still can't help running from a room when I spot one!
Penny, Kristin and Michelle it was so fun talking with you last night. Hopefully we can do it again soon! I definatley have to take your advice about DH. That way he will leave me alone and I can chat longer
I looked through the photos on the hotmail chat site and got to see some of you girls. What beautiful kids and families! And yourselves as well! I especially liked the picture of Sydney on the potty with her guitar! I made my husband come in and look cause I was laughing so hard! I'm going to try and post some pictures soon so that you guys can see what I look like too.
Leigh, have fun running errands today. I did that yesterday. I enjoyed it though cause there was a lot I needed to do and I felt like I had accomplished something for the day (unlike most days).
Ricci LOL I actually was kind of wondering how you pronounced your name because of the spelling. I had a strong feeling it was like Ricki but wasn't sure Thanks for clearing that up for me!
Melissa you've had a lot of sleepless nights lately. Is your son teething? Just wondering. Hope you get some sleep soon.
Crystal do you have really scary storms in Texas? Here in Oregon our weather is really boring. Not that I would want a really bad storm but once in a while would be nice to mix things up a bit! Good luck with your sons cold.
Cin-dye LOL you have 7 kids?! Tell me about them, if you don't mind!
Ok enough for now. Going to try and drag my butt to the gym. Got to get up my daugher first. TTYL
