Michelle,
You are gonna lose 10 pounds this week with all the extra work! I know you will get a good workout with all the remodeling! How are things going with Zhaun? Let me know so I can tell Brad what he is up against.... Or he might not wanna know I am keeping him in my prayers for a fast recovery!

Lori,
You little girl sounds just like my three year old. I can actually picture her rattling on about her birthday party! That is the best feeling to see your child have a celebration in their honor Let me know how the party turns out!

Melissa,
QOTD: Well, we have soooo many books that we don't really read the same one over and over... but today Hunter was on the Jack and the Beanstock kick! Congrats on being down this am Let me know how the weigh in is in the am!!!

Ricci,
Congrats on being down! That is too funny about the jogging pants! I didn't even realize that! But I will let my boys know....lol

Kristen,
Bed, Bath and Beyond stuck out in my head! Whatcha buy? Huh? Huh? I LOVE that store! It's my favorite! Sorry you had a bad day! I know how you feel about the house! Mine gets trashed over the weekend b/c dh doesn't pick up after himself

Crystal,
Sorry I wasn't there for you today! I am glad you are feeling better! !

Leigh,
I am glad the inlaws are going ok! Congrats on getting in the exercise!

Julie,
I didn't get to hear how you were doing today! Hope it was a great day for you! I am doing ww now with some of the south beach principles

Melinda,
I am sooo sorry you aren't feeling well I think it is going over the internet.... Everyone has been sick lately... Maybe the weather changing? Hope you are feeling better though

Geri,
Hope you had a great day!

Cindi,
I know how you feel about running running running.... That was me today!

I am just wore out today I tell ya! And still I didn't get too much accomplished....lol But I am glad it is over and tomorrow is a new day. My hubby is working tomorrow all day and half the night so I guess me and the kiddos will veg out in the am then maybe go somewhere since the weather is so nice here right now!

Hey girls how is everyone doing? Good I hope. Scary for those of you that are in or close to the storm. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your safety! Well today went good. I stayon on plan and for a reward for doing well this week and losing some more weight I let myself have a full strength Pepsi for dinner! I'm still drinking it cause I want to savor it! LOL Anyway not much planned for the weekend, we have some family birthday parties to attend but other than that I am going to lay low because I have a class next week :( I will miss you all so much :( I will only get to post in the morning if I am lucky and in the evening but I'm sure I will have a lot of homework so I don't even know if that will happen!

Penny sounds like you were a busy mama today! Good luck on getting everything done for school. Congrats on Hunter (right?) being ready for K. That is so cool! Hope you have a great veg. day tomorrow. you deserve it!

Leigh glad to know your hubby is doing good in FL. I wish we had fox news so I could see him. Tell him to be careful! :)

Kristin sorry you were having such a rough day. I think Mel said it best when she said to have the dh take your dd out and you just have the day to clean. I have never felt better now that I have a clean house, Flylady has helped me sooooooooooo much! I know exactley where you are coming from though. I have never been a very tidy person (I'm not saying your aren't tidy, just telling my personal story :)) so I would wait all week to have Sat. to clean everything and it was so hard that I would eventually give up after half the house was clean and just sit on the couch and avoid it. I think when you finally get it clean you will feel so much better! I know I do!

Meltin and Jaymi I hope everything is ok with you. That storm is something else!

Spryng congrats on the new computer! So you did take my advice after all! LOL let us all know what you got and what kind of good stuff you have on it. You know we are all jealous!! Up for some games tonight?

Geri, where ya been! Hope everything is well.

Cindeeeeeeeee (said with a tone like you would take with your child if you caught them with their hand in the cookie jar) where have you been girl! How are the kids doing in school? What do you mean you are not going to weigh in? You better weigh in next week then! TTYL

Ok I hope I didn't miss anyone if I did I'm sorry. I'm going to go watch the olympics. Have a great night guys! TTYL

Jill,
Thanks for bringing up the storm!

I forgot to let everyone know that I have you in my prayers...... for the ones that are close to the storm!

I wish you all safety and hopefully it will pass soon!

I know we are always in danger for hurricanes here so I know how you feel...

Good evening all!

Boy I am going to regret staying up this late tomorrow, lol. I am beat but I've been playing with the computer and it's soo much fun!
Didn't do much tonight. Watched 13 going on 30 and ate leftovers for dinner. But that was a very cute movie. I liked it alot.

Jill so glad you enjoyed that pepsi!! I can't even remember the last time I drank a normal soda. Probably been 4 years at least! It's a mind game with me, I just refuse to drink my calories for the day. So I won't drink juice or anything like that. I don't rememeber how that happened, lol. Weird huh?

Penny, yes I bought salmon. The recipe didn't specify what fish and salmon was on sale, lol. So I went with the cheapest! LOL Not sure about what kind of wood for the dining room set... our cabinets are oak, kinda medium colored, so maybe something similar. But it won't matter because I use a table cloth, so you can't see the wood anyway, lol.

Ok, can barely keep my eyes open, lol. See you in the a.m! G'nite!

Ok we need some kind of group chat this weekend!! I miss it! Just though I would let you all know that! LOL TTYL

morning Ladies
 

:coffee: :coffee: :coffee:

QOTD: List several cd's you have in your possession? I find this always to be interesting.
ANSWER: Bon Jovi, Cher, Conway Twitty, Dixie Chicks, George Straight...

I know some of you may think that's not such an interesting question, but I've had so many people find it interesting at the "collection" I have. I get in moods and then I choose what to listen to.

My prayers are also with all of you in or near that storm. Keep us posted.

Spryng, wtg on that new computer. What kind is it? I've got a Dell, and I have loved it so much since I've had it. Of course, still paying on it. But I've had NO problems or anything. I also rented 13 going on 30, I'm gonna watch it today. We watch Alias with Jennifer Garner, so I can't wait to see her in that movie. We watched Starsky and Hutch last night. It was cute. We've also got to watch The Whole Ten Yards. What's on your agenda today?

Penny, you stayed busy I think you got plenty done. Don't worry about not being around yesterday when I was so down. I was just being whiny and I know that you are always there. Have fun with the kids.

Leigh, sorry you only get to see dh on tv, but hey, at least you get to see him right? Hope he comes home soon. Is your cold gone completely?

Cindi, I definitely don't want anything new for me either, not yet. But when you've got tears and little fingers, they love to pull out that stuffing, it's so funny to them.

Jill, what kind of class are you taking? I know you've probably said, but I don't remember. Good luck with that.

Hi to everyone else, Jaymi, Melinda, Melissa, Angel, Cheri, Mindee and anyone else out there.

I slept 7 hours with a couple of easy interruptions. I'm staying home ALL day and I'm so excited to. Since I cleaned my kitchen yesterday, I'm gonna mop and then there are some things in the corners of my livingroom that just need to get put away, I will do that and vaccum. Then I think I'll watch 13 going on 30 and maybe crochet. I am going to take it easy today. Dh had to work today and I hate that. Wish he didn't but oh well.
I'll check in later. TTYL

Good morning everyone.
Leigh, I saw your dh on tv at about 10pm last night. Glad that he is safe.
Not doing much here today. Walmart, and I am going to go see princess diaries 2 with my mom.
QOTD: Aerosmith, Garth Brooks,Kid Rock,Tim Mcgraw, Spice Girls,Dixie chicks,Ac/dc,Firehouse,Greatest hits of the 80's, you name it, I have it. Have a good day.

Ricci, I'm so glad to find someone else with such an eclactic mixture of cd's. I thought I'd be the only one with a "Conway Twitty" and "Cher" cd. Your mixture sounds like mine. I LOVE Aerosmith. I've got a TAPE cassette of their greatest hits. I guess I should update that to a cd.
Have a good day.

Ok Ladies are you ready for my cd list.......... :lol:

I never realized that I actually don't own any cd's for me.....lol
Veggie Tales Sing Alongs
Cedarmont Kids Sunday School Songs
Bob the Builder the Album
VBS Sing & Play Bay
Spongebob Squarepants
Kids Favorite Singalongs Vol 1,2,3
Top 25 Heart Seekers Praise Songs

Thanks Crystal..... :lol: Now I feel like a total Dork...lol

Jill,
I would like to get a group chat started again... we used to have one everyday at 2pm. Are you going to the gym today?

Spryng,
Did you get that yahoo im fixed? I was gonna tell you that my van is silver... I am gonna pee my pants if we have the same color van :lol: Hope you get your puter all figured out!

Ricci,
Hope you enjoy the movie... I never saw the first one but I hear it is good :)

Crystal,
Our day sounds like it will about the same :) My house needs a little TLC so I am excited to stay home today too.... :) Have a great day!

You know about the flylady chat..... Melissa, has also said something about doing like an exercise chat too! I thought that would be neat!

I know somebody has snuck in b/c it took me a while to write this!

:) Have a good day!

Michelle,
I was just checking on you! I hope everything went ok with Zhaun.

Fill us in on how he is doing.... not all of it....lol Just if he is ok :)

I know it is crazy there today...... :)

Penny, you go out and by yourself some cd's. When dh keeps the kids and I run to town or something by myself, I'll blare that radio to one of my cd's and sing along. I love those times.

Out of the Storm!
 

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers, we are out of the storm. I pray that everyone else is as fortunate. A couple of limbs down but no big problems. Dh has already been out in the yard putting the plants and furniture back in place.

My throat is feeling much better. I actually feel like getting out of the house and working out. Most everything has closed up for the day, Probably good to have some QT with the family.

I will check in later.

Good morning all!

Suprisingly I am not too tired this morning, lol. I did get 8 hrs of sleep so I should do ok today.

Ok, now if I can pry myself away from this computer today I do have alot planned, lol. I have to run to the post office before it closes at noon to buy some more stamps and mail the rest of my bills. I wanted to run to the library and see if they had Sink Reflections too so I could read it at leisure. And then of course there is my house... I didn't do anything in it yesterday because of being preoccupied with getting this computer to work so now I have lots to catch up on! Dinner tonight will be that white bean and sausage pasta since I didnt make it last night. What are you all planning?

QOTD-- I too like just about everything! I listen to classical to rap (not all rap but I do like Ja Rule and Emimen and the black eye peas) I have so many cd's it isn't funny. I have 50 just out in the van and lots more in the house and over 1000 songs on my MP3 player on the computer. I love music! But some of my favs are Skid Row, Trixter, Evanescence, Wilson Philips (their old stuff), Toby Keith, Guns n roses, and I have lots of compilation albums like of the 80's or power ballads or rock, etc that I listen to alot.

OK Penny... go down to walmart right now and get you a cd!!! LOL! You deserve some grown up music in that house! :) Who are your favorite groups or singers? No my yahoo im isn't fixed but it's not bothering me much, I'll look more into it later, and my van is dark blue!! LOL.. not silver. I wanted a light sky blue one but this was the only one they had, lol. But it is great because I have a button that does everything from unlocking to opening doors for you and all that, so it was worth taking the dark blue one, the light ones didn't have those features. And an exercise chat sounds great! Maybe we can set up chats for mon weds frids each with a different theme.. one for flylady, one for exercise and one for just chatting or diet talk! What do you think??

Ricci, how are you doing today?

Crystal, my new computer is a new gateway. My old one was gateway too, lol. But it was 5 years old so this one is definitely better, lol. It also came with a 17" flat screen monitor which is HUGE compared to my last one and everything looks better on it, lol. I am in love with this computer. Of course dh is already wanting me to buy more memory, lol... that whole NEED MORE POWER mantra, lol... typical guy. Let me know how you like that movie. I wanted to see the whole 10 yards too but I haven't seen the whole 9 yrds yet, so I will probably just rent both sometime.

Jill, I will be up for chat sometime this weekend, just let me know! Hope you are sleeping good right now.

OK, I need to get off here and start getting some stuff done. TTYL!

Good morning :) Well, it looks like Tampa and Sarasota dodged a big bullet because it looks awful everywhere else! It makes me kind of sad . . . I guess because I love Florida so much.

Hey, Geri :) Hope you're enjoying the weekend.

Cindi- I am enjoying the cooler weather - it's great. Although I'm generally sad about winter coming soon . . .

Penny- So will the kids be watching movies today?

Jill- so you love Pepsi, huh? I'm a Coke girl myself. Love it! Can drink it as dessert :lol:

Spryng- glad you're having fun on the computer! What type of computer did you get?

Good morning Crystal! My cold is 95% gone LOL. But that's a good thing, so I'm not complaining! I know what you mean about little fingers- I've said no new furniture until Liam is 24 :lol:

Ricci- I''ll have to tell DH you saw him. Somehow I missed him- must have been when I was putting Liam to bed.

Melinda- glad all is well there! Whew!

QOTD: 1) lots of books on CD (audio books); 2) Dove Award CDs (contemporary Christian compilations) 3) Alanis Morissette 4) Reba McEntire (ohh I love her!) 5) Eminem (I love Eminem!).

Okay - will probably hang around here all day . . . TTYL!

Spryng- you snuck in :) I love Black Eyed Peas too! Have fun on the computer all day LOL!

Sorry- there's something I forgot to ask everyone. I keep reading everywhere that, unless we're outside or something, I should keep Liam barefoot to help him learn to walk, stand better, etc. But from the way he crawls, he has developed a callous on his left little toe area, but on top of his foot. How do I protect his foot, but still somehow keep his feet uncovered???

Leigh, maybe just some socks might help? or if you want to put him in shoes just make sure they are very soft and have a soft bottom to them.. you know.. no combat boots, lol. I definitely believe in keeping shoes off kids until they walking well. My SIL would put shoes on her dd when she was just a few weeks old and they weren't soft shoes... she didn't walk until 13 months old. My kids have all walked at 9 months and I contribute some of that success to the no show policy here, lol. I only put shoes on Tanner if he will be outside on rocks or something, because even in grass he goes barefoot. does that callous seem to bother him? if not then I wouldn't worry about it at all... it will go away as soon as he starts walking I'm sure. HTH

I just had to reset up my email account so I lost all my old email stuff... including addresses to your emails! :( Can each of you send an email to me [email protected] and send me your email address please?? I would appreciate this. TIA

Leigh, I disagree about the shoe thing. Now don't get me wrong, I hate putting shoes on crawlers, but as soon as they start standing I put shoes on them. Now I don't when we are just at home, but anytime we go out I put shoes on him. I've done this with ALL of them and all my kids have walked between 10 and 11 months. Alisa's feet are very, very wide just like mine and I am ALWAYS barefoot and I contribute our extra wide feet to having nothing concealing them. I've always heard they walk better with shoes. A friend of mine had a little girl that she held ALL the time and she became extremely bow legged and the doc said leave her barefoot to straighten up her walk and that worked. But otherwise, I've heard put them in shoes and like I said when my start standing, if we leave the house, they've got on shoes. But you're mama, you do what you think is best and it usually is best.

You girls are killing me with some of your cd's. I am glad to see that everyone has such a mixture of music. But Eminem disgusts me, I absolutely despise him. Three that I do despise is Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg and Eminem. But each to their own.

I've cleaned everything I was going to clean , except mop, gotta wait for ...Drew to lay down. TTYL

Morning Everyone. I'm had a bad night and I'm not having a great morning either. BUgga almost got really hurst last night and I can't get it out of my mind. I kept dreaming of trying to explain to DD why he didn't wake up. HE IS OK. We live in a split level house. My living room has a railing which we had our couch up against. There are not too many options other than that, but Of course it's in the middle of the room right now. Anyway, he climbed up when I was putting soup in his bowl. I turned and saw him laying over the top of the couch, reaching down toward the floor, which is about 8 feet. He was sliding down head first. He wanted Big Bird that was on the foyer floor. I ran and got him by his side and ankle. BUT I FEEL SICK. We have been trying to figure out what to do with it for months. I just want a wall there now. I can't take it. ALl night I woke up hyperventilating. If he fell like he was he would have crushed his scull or something. The couch is about another 18" up from the railing, so he was falling from about 9 feet-ish. Sorry to ramble I am just so upset. Thank God I was right there and not on this darn computer.

I have to go, but Leigh, put a bandaid over Liam toes and let him stay barefoot. They do say that's the best to be barefoot. Ask the Dr. if you have questions.

Mel so sorry about that near fall! I understand how you feel. When Bubba was around 1 1/2 he was playing on the couch and our couch was right up against the windows (we lived in our old house then) the window was open but there was a screen... our stuipd cat outside jumped up on the screen and Bubba wanted to get him so he pushed on the screen and the next thing I know he was gone! It happened so fast! The window was about 8' above the ground outside too and to make matters worse there was a concrete block right under the window outside and he hit it hard. He didn't cry and I went running outside, he had the breath knocked out of him so that is why he didn't cry and he hit with the back of his neck and it was sliced open. I was at home with no phone at the time and NO CAR!! I panicked. I grab both of my kids up and ran to the neighbors who also didn't have a phone, we loaded into her suv and she took me to a pay phone to call dh... he got home within seconds it seemed and he rushed us to the ER. The cut looked worse than it was. The doc didnt want to put stitches in because it was already starting to clot and he would have to remove all that which would be very painful for him. So he cleaned it up and covered it and he has a nice little scar from that. But I remember how scared and helpless I felt and how angry I was at the stupid screen for not holding and that cat for being on there and me for having the window open. Kids are pretty resilient though... he was back to normal that very same day. Crazy huh? Just hug that little boy up and try not to ponder the "what ifs" because that can drive you crazy. he is safe now. HUGS TO YOU!

Hello all SAHM's....My name is Deana, SAHM of 4. Wife to Scott. Married for 6 yrs this Oct. I just found this site a couple days ago and it's been one of the few sites used on my puter ever since. I have been drawn to this group for obvious reasons.....kids.

I have wanted to do something about my weight for a long time now, just no motivation. Now as I have sat here and looked at progress of all of you,I am motivated. I'm not a big eater so the 6 meals a day thing isn't for me. My metabolism is the worst and I'm trying to boost it.

Don't want to rattle, just introducing myself. I will be here daily I'm sure.

Still learning how to use site also. :^:

HW = 258 (06/24/04)

GW = 145

You ladies are really posting today......lol

Spryng,
I almost bought the dark blue one but this one was one year newer :) But my Explorer was dark blue.....lol I do not put shoes on my kids either. The only time Andrew has shoes on is if we go somewhere where he will be walking around and I don't know the area or such. Most of the time he doesn't even where shoes to go out to eat..... I'm a country hick I guess :lol: All my kids walked at 9 to 10 months or so and none of them ever wore shoes.... until way after 1.

Leigh,
Not sure what to tell you about Liam's foot :( Have you talked to the dr? I would say do the skid proof socks maybe :?: I know when Andrew has a bandaid on..... it takes about 3 minutes for him to take it off :lol: If that long Hope you have a good day! When is the next book club?

Deana,
Welcome :wave: It is great to have you here!!! You have come to the right place!

Crystal,
I told you you made me feel like a dork......lol My cd player is having fits in my van so I don't use it... But most of the time the kids are watching the tv in the van so I don't listen to the radio.. or I just listen to whatever's on.... I need to buy them headphones I guess........lol
Glad you got some cleaning done!

Mel,
I am so upset for you! And I bet Patrick was like..... what mom? They don't know anybetter but it makes us feel horrible! You are a great mom!!!

Melinda,
I am so glad everything is ok with you and the storm! Glad you are feeling better!!! :)

Ok no more posting until tonight.......lol I am gonna try to get so more cleaning done and playing with the boys...

We just made the Oobi hand puppet's.....lol It is too cute!

Oh BTW, I just wanted to tell Di....... If you are out there, I just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking of you! If you need anything, just pm me! I was just checking on the boys!

EVERYONE ELSE OUT THERE LURKING..... HAVE A GREAT SATURDAY!!!

Hey, it's me again too, lol. I have been in and out of here for most of the morning. Dh is in Denver and he has family there so he is visiting with them all day so I have no one to bug! LOL. I have started my housecleaning though. My kitchen is cleaned up some and my living room has been picked up and vacuumed. That in itself makes the house look 100% better.

Penny, what are oobi hand pupets?? Sounds cute! It is with socks?

Welcome Deana!! I am Spryng, mother of 3. I have been married 6 years also. May I ask how old you are and how tall? What plan are you doing or wanting to try? I hope you find yourself at home here and post often! :)

Hey everyone I'm finally up! DH and I slept in and then I got up and took a shower and got my bed made and all that so it took me even longer to get to the computer.

QOTD: Get this I like everything too! Right now I have Michael Jacksons greates hits which is almost a joke cause my sis, her bf and I used to be in love with his music when we were like 8 so now it's kind of nostalgia! I also have Usher, Kenny Chesney, Dixie chicks, and a bunch of CD's I burned off the internet. Spryng I am like you I have a lot of music on my computer and a lot of homemade CD's with lots of diff. music on them. So thats me!

Spryng I'm so glad you are enjoying your computer! That is so great. Out computer still works decent but when it doesn't I can't wait to get a new one. I also have a 17" screen and I love it! My old computer had a really small one so when I got this I was in heaven! You can bug me anytime you want today! I'll be home!

Mel, that is so scary about Patrick! After Bayley was born for a few months I wasn't able to sleep very good cause I was so in love with her (Still am of course!) that I would imagine everything that could go wrong ex: I would drop her or the cat would scratch her or someone would take her without asking. It is the sickest feeling but I had to tell myself that she was ok and that I was doing everything I could to keep her safe and you were too. I hope you can shake that feeling today cause I know the feeling too and it does make you sick! There is a reason you caught him just in time and that is because you are a good mom so just keep up the good work!

Crystal have fun watching the movie. You will love it. It's cute. We've been wanting to rent Starsky and Hutch for awhile. We love Ben Stiller!

Ricci enjoy your movie too!

Penny you crack me up! You are a true mom! With your kids collection of CD's.

whoops............................wasn't done posting yet! Got a little ahead of myself!

Anyway Penny...................not going to the gym today, will probably just do 5 days a week. I am ready for a break by the weekend plus I am so sore today!! I can't hardly move anyway! Hope you have a good day and hope we can chat tonight!

Michelle I hope you are doing good and getting a lot done. I hope Zhaun is doing good too! Check in with us and give us an update! WE miss you!!

Meltin and anyone else in the storm, good to hear you are all safe and sound! Good luck with clean up and the aftermath! We are thinking about you!

Leigh I'm not picky when it comes to Pepsi or Coke just whatever one is closer LOL! I actually did not used to drink a lot of soda but got hooked on it when I was pregnant, so bad! Anyway I just have one once in awhile now. It wasn't as good as I remembered though last night, I guess mabye I'm shying away from them like I used to! But we were having taco salad last night so I had to have one right?! As far as the shoe thing goes I haven't heard either way. Bayley is almost 11 months old and is real close to standing on her own but not walking which is fine by me but I don't put shoes on her usually at all. Her little feet have been rug burned and a little sunburned lately from being in the car and crawling so I have put shoes on her when we have gone out to keep the sun off them but other than that she is always barefoot! Do whatever you think is best though.

Hi Deana it sound like Deonna right? Not De Anna? I have a friend that spells her name the same way and it is pronounce Deonna. Let me know though I could be wrong :) This is a great group to join you will have a blast! Come back and tell us more about you and jump in on anything we are talking about. It's great to have you!!

Umm how come I am so scatter brained today! I still wasn't done posting!! I guess all I was going to say was that we are not going to do much today. Just hang around here and might go hang out with some friends tonight. I'm making Mel's Lemon chicken recipe tonight and I can't wait should be really good! Everyone have a good day, I need to go check the 101 e-mails I have from flylady! TTYL

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I guess I am a bit overprotective when it comes to him, being that we had such a rough start and a tough first year and a half. Now we are just frustrated with trying to figure out what to do with that space. Maybe I'll post a pic of it and you can all give me your suggestions. Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful day. ttfn

Good afternoon ladies :wave:

Now that Tony's taking a nap I may be able to get a post in :lol: . He had just bumped his head on the corner of the desk and was screaming for the hundreth time and dh was starting to yell and.... so I stopped posting. It was bedtime for him anyway (Tony, not dh...although he followed shortly after :lol: :p ).

Spryng, congrats on the new computer! They're always fun. My first one was a gateway and I loved it.

Mel :grouphug: Glad bugga's OK! Scarey! Tony fell up a step at my Aunt's house and cut his bottom lip with his teeth Thurs night so he was bleeding all over and just wanted to stick his face in my clothes :^:. We stopped at another relative's on the way home yesterday and he took a tumble on the driveway and scraped up a couple of fingers and was bleeding again. Then after we came home yesterday we were in my bedroom watching the weather channel/FNC trying to get info on the hurricane. He wasn't listening to me and was jumping around and fell and bit his lip AGAIN and was bleeding on my comforter and my new carpeting (well...not new but only 1 yr old and very clean) :fr: and then he bumped his head on the desk last night....arrrgh! KIDS...or should I say BOYS! I couldn't wait to put him to bed so that he would relax for a few hours :lol: .

Melinda...so glad you're OK after Charley! Very, very scary. Tell me...when you live in an area prone to these horrific storms...why don't these stupid people evacuate when they're ordered too???? I feel very bad for the people who died...but what the heck was the idiot thinking who got hit in his backyard by a fallen tree? I just don't get it! Anyway...enough of my rant. So glad you're ok and back with us!

QOTD.. I also have quite the mix... 80's, country, Aerosmith, Metallica, dh has Beatles & Beachboys...no rap for me though...can't stand any of it!

Hi to everyone else out there. I should use this nap time wisely and get some other things done. We have another bday party for dh's neice tonight so who knows what's for dinner tonight. I'm hoping for a bikeride tomorrow and I did do my 3 mile walk this morning but still will probably not have a loss this MOnday...Just haven't gotten my eating under control yet.


Have a great Saturday night. I may get to check back in later.

Welcome Deana, I'm Crystal, 27 yo sahm of 3 almost 4. I'm due Feb. 1st. I'm sticking around because these are a great group of ladies and I'm hoping to make this the best and healthiest pregnancy. I say this as I'm eating grilled cheese and drinking a Root Beer. But I'm trying. I live in Texas and I homeschool my oldest. Alisa will be 6 in Oct., Ally is 3 and Andrew is 20 months. So glad you are here and I know that you will find all the support you will ever need. Tell us alittle more about yourself.

"13 Going on 30" was an incredibly cute movie. I'm a sucker for those romantic comedies. I watch Alias so I just love Jennifer Garner. I even cried just a bit in that movie.
Anyways, I'm finishing up lunch and I'll clean the kitchen. Next I'll start dinner around 400 or so. I hope everyone's day is going good. TTYL

Thank You !!!
 

Thank you all for the very warm welcome :o

Spryng: I am 5'5" tall and almost 37 yo. Haven't really decided on a plan other than I've been watching portions for some time now. I was also sick with a respiratory illness from mid-June to the end of July, atleast. Still not completely back to where I should be, nothing too strenuous or I get breathless. My biggest problem is my sodas...Pepsi, Dr. P, Diet Dr. P.....since I was ill have learned to like Sierra Mist...wondered everyone's take on the Diet Sierra Mist (no caffiene, no calories).

Baileysmom: Hope I can get this across....it's pronounced Deanu....like Dean with an A at the end.....hope that helps. And don't feel bad, no one can pronounce it right when they first see it, (had teachers in school that called me everything but they way it's supposed to sound).

Penny: Thank you also for the warm welcome.

Well gotta run, company.....

Gosh Geri, you and your little one have had your fill this week of accidents. Abigail has put her teeth through her lip/chin twince. Twirling around got dizzy and bumped into the table. The other time she fell off the chair in the dining room and bumped her lip on the table...uggghhhhhh mother hood ages you...

Welcome Deana, I am Melissa SAHM of 2, Patrick almost 2 and Abigail who is 4. I hope you enjoy this great group of women. THey are WONDERFUL.

Ooooops..QOTD..Tim McGraw, KEnny Chesney, BIlly JOel, Dixie Chicks, NICK JR., Wee sing silly songs....lol Lots of Billy Joel....Genesis/phil collins. I don't know them off the top of my head, but I have such a variety. I like most music, NO alternative or rap. although some original rap from the eighties was fun. Anyone remember BREakin out the movie and Break dancing.....I remember thinking it was so cool. ALthough I am 30 and many of you are 23-24, so that might make a dif if you remember those or not.

Hello again all!

Nap time here now, lol so I can surf the net for awhile.

Crystal, I almost cried too on that movie, it was very cute.
You sound like you are doing well today.


Geri, poor Tony! He has been having a rough couple of days huh?? Poor kid... that must be the boy in him because Bubba has those days and sometimes weeks, lol. Your exercise sounds really good... I hope you at least maintain this week and maybe next week you'll see a loss, I know you have it in you! :)

Mel, yes post a pic of that space and we would be happy to see if we can give you any ideas on how to change it and make it safer. And don't feel bad about being over protective.. he's your baby!! And you are a mother and that is what we do and are, lol.

ok... what channel is this olympic stuff coming on?? I seem to keep missing anything about it!

Hi girls, whats going on?

I thought I would make a quick post here in between cleaning, dh took the kiddos to the store, so I am trying to get as much done as possible :dizzy:! I have a question for you girls. Do any of you take a fiber supplement? I tried another one and they make me so sick to my stomach. This time they were the Walmart brand citrucel caplets. Well just a question. Anyway the weather is beautiful today.

Geri, that little guy of yours is having a tough time, huh? Poor thing. It is scary when they get hurt. I hope he has a speedy recovery from this week.

Spryng, congrats on the new computer. Thats wonderful. And you go girl setting it all up by yourself. I barely know how to turn mine on, haha!!!! That is a scary story about Bubba, I bet you were just freaking out. I would have been. Your supper sounds good tonight. Yum, Yum

Leigh I have been trying to catch your dh on tv but I never can. I know what he looks like from the pics you have posted, I will just have to keep on watching! How is your day going?

Di, where are ya? Come on and chat.

Michelle, I hope your husband is okay. Mine had one too. It was not that bad for him at all. I think what got to him was thinking about it before the procedure was done. Hope all is well. I felt sad after he had his done too. Its natural, don't feel bad about having sad feelings about it.

Well I wish I could stay longer but I want to get this place cleaned!! Check in later. Julie QOTD-I love 80's, basically a little bit of everything!

channel 8 for me...just NBC :)

that made no sense..sorry, I meant, the olympics are on NBC! :)
