Hey everyone I just got back from the gym! Yea for me! I just did cardio and feel ok so I don't think I over did it. I gave the baby a bath and a bottle and now she is down for a nap. Hopefully for awhile. I have quite a bit to do. I need to go get my crock pot cooking with dinner. Tonight it is sweet potato and chicken stew. I think it sounds pretty good, I'll tell you how it turns out. I haven't had much luck with dinner lately! LOL
Spryng!! I can't believe you cleaned withouth me!! Just kidding, I think the olympic thing would be great to do. We should go with that. Oh ya and don't forget about the mom show at 1 your time Don't know if you want to listen or not but the first 10 callers today get a free gift or something so it might be worth it. Did you listen last week?
Penny we can totally wait for you to get back so you can join us. I'm not in any hurry, the more the merrier!! Let us know.
Crystal sounds like it might be a good opportunity for you guys to move. Especially if dh's family moves too, then you would have the security of dh's job being the same and him not having to look for work and stuff. Hope your talk goes well, let us know.
Ok off to clean the crock pot so I can cook in it again. TTYL!!
Good afternoon,
Spryng, Branson was ok. I had never been to Celebration City, needless to say, I won't go back to it. I would rather go to Silver Dollar city. I love that place. Branson is very family friendly. There is lots of things for kids to do.
Crystal, I did that find your spot quiz, and where you pick your region, I put no preference. My results? Springfield,MO, which I live 10 miles from and will be going to school there.
I haven't been feeling very good today. Sore throat,back, whatever. RJ and I came home, Iwent to sleep in my bed, and he stayed next to me watching cartoons. I feel a little better, but probraly no exercise for me today.
Have a good day.
Jill you have Ricci your flu!!! I told you to stop breathing on her, lol.
Ricci, I hope you feel better soon! And branson sounds like lots of fun. Maybe dh and I should look into a family trip there.
Jill, so glad you got your exercise in!! So, are there alot of hot guys at this gym?? lol. I would like to listen to the mom show but Tanner is asleep in here... I really need to get some headphones for this computer. Let me know what leanne and flylady says ok?
Crystal, I'm glad you have yours eyes open about all that. I just worry for you! LOL. Don't want you running off to some foreign state and feeling miserable with that descision. But I know you and dh will talk it through and make the right descision for your family.
Penny, since the olympics are going right now flylady decided to start her own flylday olympics for those two weeks. They are extra missions and such to do in your house, things you might normally not do. Some of the first ones were dumb, like make your bed... well making your bed is suppose to be part of your morning routine so it wasn't an extra task... I haven't read any of the new ones lately but I've been saving them in my emails. Do you not get flylady emails? I'm sure those missions are on her web page somewhere. I didn't realize the 1 mi WATP was only 15 min long! Does it work up a sweat? I may have to get that one.
Well, my afternoon is moving right along. Got my menu wrote out along with my grocery list so that is good to go for tomorrow.
Ok, I guess I'll see you later! Jill I will see you and anyone else who wants a flylady challenge at 3 pm central! TTYL!
Ricci, I did the quiz twice, once by picking a few regions and once choosing no preference. Neither time did I get even close to Texas. The closest I got was Colorado and then Tennessee and North Carolina. However, we're thinking about moving to Florida. Go figure.
We're going to town for a bit with dh. Be back later.
What a week! The funeral was on Tuesday and it is just awful to see a baby buried. My gf was glad that we were there.
JW is getting eaten up by something. It looks like bug bites. I thought it was from outside but then when he woke up from his nap he had more. I have stripped the sheets and cleaned all around. The exterminators are coming tomorrow. He has a bit of a runny nose, but I think it because he played with his cousin who go to day care on Sunday.
The birthday party was great! He loved the cake and of course toys and toys. He did get some money for college account so that was nice too.
I started back with my points today. I will get a weigh in tomorrow and go from there.
Spryng - I had another ovarian cyst rupture last night. Dh let me sleep so that was nice.
Crystal - Good luck with the business prospects. Dh just sold his jewelry business after 10 years. He worked long hours and he wanted to stay home more with JW. Now he has a car business and he seems to still be working just as hard, but he is not bound to a store and more on the go. Think about it carefully. I have always heard that Texas has great schools for the children. SC schools are another question.
Hope to get a bike ride if the weather clears. Happy Thursday and great weigh ins.
HELLO!!!!! I'm BBBAAACCKKK!!! Finally, I know. I have really missed you all. What was suppose tp be a week in KC, ended up being 4 days in KC and 6 in chicago. It was so fun, just ne, dh and sydney. I have done really hoprrible the whole time on my "trip", however, I have resolved myself to the fact that it is in the past and we were kind of like vagabonds for a week and a half! haha! well I would love to get personal with you ladies, however, I haven't had time to really go back and look at some of your posts! The few that I have read, it sounds like you are all doing really well! GLad to be bad, and on track, starting tomorrow! WEll, I will try and get back tonight to get personal, however, I don't know if I will get a minute to do that, I have all the laundry from the trip to do still! Definately tomorrow however!
Hope you all are well
QOTD: fantasy that is not real - coming into a LOT of money (aka: millions) and never worrying about that again. Real dream - to be about 40 lbs smaller! haha (that will happen) !!!!!!
Spryng - I had thought it might be pox but it is only on his face and he has not had a fever or anything, just the running nose. We have his 1 year appt tomorrow, I think I will wait until then unless he runs a fever.
Welcome back Kristin! So glad you had a nice trip!! Did you find much to do in KC? When I went with dh for that week I ate badly too and I still lost weight that week so you may be fine. Sometimes are body craves a change.
Melinda, I hope it's nothing too, maybe just allergic to something.
Well dinner was good (had ranch chicken, baked potatoes and peas) it filled me up fast. I couldn't even clean my plate. Tomorrow is WI and I am hoping to see something good!
I'm going to get off here, thanks Penny and Jill for doing that flylady challenge with me! My house is looking good now!
Melinda, I guess each to their own opinion. I myself can't stand the schools in Texas. At least NO WHERE around this area or any closer to dallas. It's not the actual schools as to my reason for homeschooling. I just simply choose this over any other option. I can give my kids much more than any school can.
Sorry about JW.
Spryng, sorry I couldn't chat earlier. I really wanted to, but dh and I were in one of our "talks" and we were fixing to head out the door. Hope I wasn't too rude in denying it.
Found out dh has to start looking for a new job. Family business is losing it after 10 years. Mostly from not getting paid from contractors. We are owed over $100,000. From a contractor that refuses to pay.
Dh's family is totally ready and set to move to Florida and say they are doing it. Dh said that he wants to but not without a plan. So now we're gonna start looking into a plan for moving. You all pray for us, I really want this to happen but know that what ever is meant to be will happen and there will be a reason for it.
I've got to get something to eat for these kids. I'll try to be back later.
Have a good day all.
Mel-A friend of mine's baby had a bunch of little bites, turns out it's fleas. Do you have pets? Even the cleanest of clean people can get them!
Crystal-My fingers are crossed for you that everything goes perfectly for you and your family!
Penny-Do you feel like you get a good workout with WATP? My mom just lent me her tape. Is it just marching in place? Is it boring? I know, I know , lots of questions!! LOL!
Spryng-I really like flylady. She's helped me get rid of so much clutter!! If you ever want to do a challange or room rescue-let me know!!
Have a great evening! I'll try to catch up with you all tomorrow!
Okay girls, I'm getting ready to call it a night. I'm alittle distraught, I know dh wants to move to Florida, but he has put some restrictions on the possibility of going which makes me think we won't go. I know that if it's meant to be than we will and that's what I'm hoping for. Plus his family really wants to go and they are so family oriented that they will do whatever they have to to make sure we go too.
I hope everyone has had a great evening. I'll check in in the morning.
Worked today so I'm tired! Just finished reading all the posts...and I'm tired!! LOL. Going to go put Will to bed then I will follow!
Take care and have a wonderful night. I'll check back tomorrow.
Where is everyone hiding? Can I come too? It's been a rough day. I've been cleaning all day again and it got pretty hot today. I think I saw the high was 96, heat index 103. And the only A/C we have is in our bedroom so dh can sleep during the day. Attic fan helps a lot. But I stuck with it. I have to so I can get things done around here. Being sick for almost 6 weeks and not getting much help, it really got backed up. The kids have been annoying me to no end and now it's bedtime and they are trying to fight me again..... . Dh just called on his break and heard them....hehehe......early bedtime tomorrow night, even if it is Friday. Geeeeeez, I need a vacation.
I probably won't be here tomorrow night. Dh invited friends over for supper.......and he's cooking because he didn't ask me first . But I still have to do the shopping and make sure there is enough for 10 people. They are bringing a couple things so that helps.
Well, kids are starting to settle down now, and then I'm going to bed before I fall over
Have a great night everyone and I will try to get here in the a.m.
Well that took longer than I thought it would and a couple snuck in on me
And I forgot QOTD: Right now my biggest dream besides winning lots of money, is to get away from it all for a few days. Wouldn't care where as long as they have a walking track and diet food
