OK ladies... I'm here! I got home about an hour ago but big brother came on and I had to watch it, lol.

The appointment went great. I was worried over nothing it seems. I couldn't even feel it coming out! I told her about us deciding to use condoms and she said NO WAY!! LOL... so she sent me home with 3 months of BC pills (ortho tricyclen lo) and said if I was still uninsured in 3 months to just come back in and get more samples, so that was really nice of her! So I start taking them after my next period... so I still had to get condoms, lol. Oh also... she really tried to talk me out of getting the IUD out... she felt like I hadn't given it enough time to balance out. but I told her that each month my periods get longer, acne flares up like crazy, and those cysts are killing me! So she agreed that maybe it wasn't for me. But she also found out I have a bad infection... which she said probably contributed to the cysts, so I got a prescription for it and hopefully it will be gone soon. That explains why I have been so tired lately and my stomach has been tender. I didn't have any symptoms so I never knew anything was going on down there, lol. But anyway, I think that is my day in a nut shell. I've taken BC pills many times before and they work great for me so I don't mind taking these. I'm good about remembering and all that. But I think she was right about the condoms... they probably would have worked but I would have worried every month until TOM showed up.
Oh and she was floored by the weightloss!!! She came in and looked at me funny and said... I thought I read your chart wrong, lol.. you have lost a ton!!! She also said that may have contributed to the cysts too because each fat cell has estrogen in them and when you lose alot of weight you release alot of estrogen into your body and it can build in your ovaries and cause pain and cysts. So between the IUD and trying to get thin I was hurting myself, lol. But she was proud of me!
So I would call the appointment a success and now I can move forward. But I feel great having the IUD out. I know it's all mental, lol.. but I just feel relieved and I was so glad it didn't hurt. I was so nervous in the waiting room and my stomach was churning!
Ok, enough about that... let me try and get personal..

Angel, I hope you are getting alot of cleaning done! Did you want us to answer that ? tonight? If so.. hmmm... I don't think I have a hero really. (outside of family that is) I could get all religious and say God of course, lol.. which would be true but I really don't talk about religion on the net.

Jill, congrats on selling those pants!!! I have some stuff I'd like to sell on ebay too but I'm too lazy to get it together, lol. I've been drinking like crazy tonight but I think you are going to win!! LOL! I'm up to 6 glasses, lol. And my bladder is on overload! I'll try to get in 10 glasses tonight but any more than that and I'll be up all night peeing, lol.

Crystal, I can feel like your dh at times... sometimes it seems things never go our way when other people get them handed to them on a silver platter. But I realize life doesn't work that way and I'm ok with it. My dh works hard for his money and I appreciate every cent, lol. I hope things work out for you guys too.

melissa, my boys aren't circumcised either and my MIL hurt Bubba when he was an infant. She changed his diaper and I heard him scream so I ran in there and he was crying so hard and she said... You HAVE to clean under the skin and I about came unglued! Why don't those people know that the skin will come back on it's own in due time!! Of course... she never did it again because she got an ear full... no one hurts my babies, lol. Poor Bugga... I hope he feels better tonight.

Leigh, I feel so bad for you! Your dh has been gone alot lately. If you need to talk I'm here!! Enjoy your night with him

Penny, she used some kind of tweezer looking things to get it out.... she just grabed the strings and out it came! Very simple and easy and painfree! LOL. Do those pills have side effects??

Kristin, so glad Sydney is ok!! Since her blood work and all that was normal what did she have?? Just a virus or something? And still no sign of TOM huh?? Not even that feeling of him coming? I'm still being optimistic for you!! I think you are!!!! I just think there isn't enough of the hormone in you yet for a test to show positive. I hope I am right!!!

Jaymi, did those cravings ever go away?? I hope so... you can do this girl!! I'm routing for you!! Do you think you are pregnant? When was your last period and when is the next one due?? Keep us informed!! And I'm not sure if we want more kids... I'm young enough to have another one in a few years with no problems but by then they will all be in school and I may not want to start over, but I don't want my DH snipped yet or my tubes tied... it just seems too premature at the moment. So we are going to wait a few years and decide then.

Ok, I think I am caught up! If I missed you then I am so sorry!! I'll be back on later so chew me out ok?? TTYL!

Hi to everyone. I intended to get here this morning but I had a pot full of tomatoes that had to be put up, so I spent all day making a batch of BBQ sauce. Dh is like the biggest BBQ sauce fan I have ever known, puts it on everything. I give him a hard time about trying to cover up my cooking, which he isn't, he just loves it that much. And he really liked what I made today. It was my first try so I guess I lucked out. Even the kids liked it.

Spryng: Hope you had a good visit at the Dr. Hope everything is okay and you find what works best for you and dh for BC. Don't worry about the Mexican food last night. You deserve a splurge. I on the other hand, have a pepsi in the fridge that has been there for over 3 weeks since I started dieting and I'm saving it for a 10 lb loss mark to treat myself.

Mel: So sorry to hear about Patrick's Dr. visit. With any luck he won't remember it and the next time won't be so bad. If you ever go to that office again make sure you ask for a different nurse. All my boys are circumcised because I was always told that they will have more to deal with when they get older as far as infections and such. But your decision is yours and I respect that. My dd had to have blood drawn last week for lead testing for preschool and she did great. So great that the lab lady gave her a beanie baby spider. I was shocked she did so well. She is my biggest baby when it comes to hurts.

Crystal: Everything will works itself out in time. It sounds like dh just needs some self-pity time to work out his feelings. Afterward he will be more level headed about what needs to be done to make it work and therefore make more sound choices. I'm sure he is stressed right now and wants to do right by his wife and kids, he just doesn't know how to go about it yet. Just stand beside him and let him know that you are there to talk to if he needs you.

Jill: So glad you are getting to the gym and drinking your water. That weight will be off in no time. It is always nice to get to town with out kids. I think I remember the last timeI got away without any of them .....WTG on the ebay sales. BTW, Happy Belated Anniversay to you and dh.

Leigh: Sorry to hear dh has to leave again. Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Angel: on the excercise. I have the WATP tapes and I love Leslie Sansone. I finally did the 2 mile today for the first time. What a good workout.

Penny: WOOHOO on the 2 mile. I loved it. Just a little more than the 1 mile and it really makes a difference in the burn. So glad you like the new Dr. And one day at a time is right. Don't rush it, it will happen for you. I have had the same Dr. since I moved here 10 years ago and wouldn't change unless I had to.

Kristin: So sorry that Sydney had to get stuck twice. I have small veins and they almost always have to stick me twice. Hope they figure out what's wrong with her to make her so sick. I just hate it when kids get sick. Me getting sick I can handle, but they are just so little.

Michelle: Hope you had a Great day today!!!

Jaymi: What's up girl? Hope you get to feeling better and can get back on track in the excercise department. Keep us posted.

Spryng: you snuck back in on me while it has takend me over an hour to type this because the kids keep interrupting me. The boys are in bed now and then I have to run to dh's work to take him some cash for his supervisor. He is riding in the MS150 this weekend and everyone from work is pledging a set amount. Glad it isn't too far, only 12 miles away, but I want to try to get there when he is on his break so I can see him. So glad your appointment went so well. Aren't samples great? I got my tubes tied after dd, but I felt 4 was enough and dh finally got his first child and said that was all he needed so that worked out great for us. Even though I waited til she was 17 months before I decided. I was on Depo-Prevera while I waited and I HATED it. No TOM and I felt like I was more emotional and that sucked.

QOTD: I have watched Baby Story a few times but never while I was pregnant. It wasn't on or I didn't have TLC when I was pregnant with the boys and by the time I was pregnant with dd I knew everything.....LOL...or so I thought I did. Then I was thrown a girl to mess me all up.

Well, since it took so long to type this I;m not sure anyone will still be awake to read it. Better run anyway if I want to catch dh on break.

Have a good night all, see you in the morning with my QOTD.

[BIGtimeLOSER]

I have been a busy girl again. But I have stayed on plan pretty well, just not enough water. I gave my mom a haircut and bought groceries today.

I was worried about my sudden weight gain, headaches and nausea, so I took the Nuvaring out a bit early and TOM came early too! So I get to go have my biopsy done early next week. Talk about nervous!!! Not about anything being wrong, but about the biopsy itself.

Crystal...Just remember a man's identity is based on his ability to be a good provider, so the time your dh is without a job will be a hard time for all of you. I dealt with it with my dh, too. Just be patient until things settle a bit and he has a plan and even a job. As hard as it will be, it will get better!!!

Spryng...Glad your BC is no longer an issue! Bet that takes a burden off of you! I can't wait til the day someone says I have lost a ton of weight, LOL!!

Jill...I will do the Flylady challenges with you! I need a little motivation.
Happy Belated Anniversary! How was the chicken? I think I got all the stuff to make it today.

Deana...BBQ sauce?? Maybe you should market it and sell it!!! LOL!

Penny...Glad you had a good doc visit! Wish I had a doc to give me diet meds! Mine might if I ask her nicely.

Leigh...POOR DH! and poor you!! Does he enjoy going to do hurricane footage? What does he really enjoy about his job? The travel? The excitement? The fame...LOL? I sure do not envy all the ladies here who have to be single moms so often. I wouldn't like that! We are here for you!

Michelle...Hey...I forgot what you posted, so just Hey for now...LOL!!! But count me in on the gift exchange.

Kristin...Hope your girl is still doing better!

Mel...I hate to hear about Bugga's rough day!! Poor little man! Is he feeling okay now?

Hey Angel...Just hey...and good luck on that challenge!

I think I am done for the moment!

Love to all!

Hey girls, just sitting here hoping my dd will go to bed soon! I thought she would be tired by now but I guess not! Anyway just so you all know the avocado swiss chicken was soooooooooooooooooo good!! You should all make it!

Angel I would love to compete to lose these last pounds we have! Let's do it! First to 15 wins? Is that how much we have LOL. I think it's more like 13 but why not do it to 10 cause I know those last few pounds are going to be really hare, probably for both of us! Let me know what you think.

Deana mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm BBQ sauce, my dh eats everything with ketchup and ranch and I accuse him also of not liking my cooking! LOL I know that's just how he likes it though so I don't complain too much.

Cindy I will look forward to doing flylady with you! I will try to get up a little earlier so I can do it before I go to the gym and then maybe a break for both of us and then back at it a little later in the day? Does that sound good? Good job staying OP! And Good Luck with the biopsy, I don't envy you!

Ok gals I am going to watch CSI and read a magazine. I'll talk to you all in the morning and let you know how my WI goes! Hopefully I at least maintained! TTYL!!
