okay, okay, I lied, I haven't gotten in the shower yet....michelle you are bored???what the heck? I don't think I have ever heard you day that! Checked out Seans site...spelled his name wrong then corrected myself....people are probably going to think I am a freak....okay, their right.....LOL!

Hello again!

OK, bathroom cleaned and my laundry room somewhat clean, not bad for a sleepy woman here, lol. I'll finish up the laundry room today and the laundry and call it good. I am so tired. All next week I will really attack my bedroom and get it perfect. No one gets to come in my bedroom but me and dh, Tanner is only in here to sleep so it's to the playpen and then right out again so I don't put away my stuff very often. So anyway, now that SIL will be here to watch the kids, her dd will nap on my bed and of course have to bring tanner in here to nap too so it needs to be deep cleaned and "other" things put away from her prying eyes, lol So that will be next week. Lunch was a burrito... so I guess I got to use a pt on the tortilla, lol. Now I don't feel so deprived today, lol.

Michelle, why are you so bored today? Did you get your house done?

Kristin, have fun on your leaf walk! It's going to be 81 degrees here, our last really warm day, tomorrow will be 70 and then it will actually start to get cold and feel like fall, lol. So today I'm taking advantage of shorts and tank tops! May be the last time I get to wear them this year!

Jill, I do have a debit card but with Bank of America is goes through the minute it is ran. So I can't use that today. O-well, I think we may have tacos tonight and tomorrow maybe roasted chicken. So I'll be fine without getting groceries until monday I guess, but I may go get them on sunday. I used to have acrylic nails and I loved them! I hated have to get them filled every 3 weeks but I loved it when they were fresh and beautiful. Now I just grow my own and save my money, lol. But if I had the time I'd get mine done again too.

OK, guess I'll get off here and find something to do. TTYL!

Jill man what bank do you go through that your debit card doesn't go through for a few days? Mine goes through the second I run it both my banks do for that matter. Yes the check 21 is going to change things for a lot of people thankfully we don't ever use checks just our debit cards that way we don't have a chance to overdraw our account. Its one of our spending rules lol. Dh's check is auto deposited to our bank out of state then we have a local account that my checks go to. did I tell you all that I'm now working 35 hours a week?? crazy!! I went from being very very part time to being one of only 2 full time employees. Must say something about my work ethic!

School is going great I LOVE it and feel like I'm doing something not only for my future but for the future of my family. Some day I'll have a great career and maybe dh can stay home with the kids LOL

Okay I need to get moving and do something....anything...I'm kinda waiting for dh to get home so I can go shopping though. We'll see if I get anything accomplished.

Love to you all
Michelle

hey by the way where is Crystal? I hope everything is okay Crystal let us know at least that you aren't in premature labor. I'm worried about you!

Okay one more thing....You guys are so awesome to sign Seans guestbook!! It will mean a lot to him!! Yesterday my sister took a hardcover journal to his school so the kids could all put a message in it for him and she got pictures to put in it as well! We're also going to paste the guestbook entries in there for him. I've also gotten people in the Spokane area to donate a hot meal to his family while they are there and even had a lady write and tell me that she sent a 30 dollar check so they could have a meal, and she was from the middle east!! The Friends of Allie group is just amazing and I just want to cry thinking about all the good we've done for all these cancer fighting families!! You girls are the best!!

Okay, okay, okay I'm here Michelle. Not in premature labor, and that I'm glad for, alittle too early, huh?
Sorry I didn't post much yesterday or this morning. As soon as breakfast was over we all went to buy groceries. Came home, put them up made lunch and now Andrew just woke up and is having his lunch. As soon as he's done we have to go to my moms to clean and do some laundry. Today is one busy day. I couldn't fit school in there so we'll catch up tomorrow. Alisa hasn't quite learned that it's the weekend and we're not suppose to school. Besides with dh outside working everyday, then every day runs together and we do the same things every day of the week. So I'll have to cut this short and get my laundry ready to go. TTYL

Sorry, didn't mean to be MIA this morning. I was getting clues with my sister before she had to take Samantha to pre-school. She's the helper mom today so I have her little boy.

QOTD: The one thing that I would change about my DH is that he know when I am having a day when I don't want to joke around and he'll do it anyhow, and just get annoying and more annoying until I about want to pop a cork. Then tell me I'm moody. Some days I just like quiet days and those are the times he wants to be obnoxious.

So how are all of you gals doing?

Michelle-I signed Sean's questbook. Still having rain? Ours is done but its kind of chilly now.

Crystal-How's that little bundle of joy doing? Nicole always kept me awake at night with her kicking. She was a rowdy little package to carry and she still is.

Jill-My bank is starting the Check 21 thing on Monday. I'm going to have to adjust because I do write some checks without the funds just to get by sometimes. I might have to find an evening job to fix that one.

Spryng-Send me your weather.... We had rain, and lots of it last night, and now its chilly today. Winter is coming. My BIL lives at the northern border of Montana and he has 2 in. of snow already.

Deana-You are always so busy. How do ya keep up with it all? Walmart again? My DH calls me the walmart queen and the store is my kingdom.

Jeniqua-You're kids are sooo cute! Great pics of all of you. How's your mom doing today? Did she get out of the hospital?

Kristin-Hey gal! Wanna come to my house and do some laundry for me? That darn old Mount Washmore is growing. Since the hunt for the pumpkin/rock/pain in my butt, I haven't got much housework done. I've been letting it go. I think my DH is going to kill me.

Geri, Jaymi, Angel, and all of the rest of you...checkin in later. I better get off this thing. I'm make butt imprints in the 'puter chair.

I'm back for a bit before I have to start supper. Tonight will be BLT's and chips. I was really bad this morning and didn't eat breakfast and nothing until lunch after I got back from the store. So I am sitting on 240 calories for the day. Guess I can pretty much have anything I want tonight but BLT's sounded good.

Michelle: I signed Sean's guestbook as well. Hope he is doing better today and keeping in good spirits. How old is he? Don't know if I just missed that somewhere but you said "his school". Still too young for something so awful.

Spryng: WOOHOO on the 1/2 pound!!! You have done awesome today on the house especially since you didn't sleep good last night. Amazing what a second wind will do for you! Wish I could find one.

Mel: The coupon came today!!! . For some reason the mailman has been running late this week so by the time he came it was too late to go check it out because dh had to go to bed. I will call and set up a time to go in and hopefully be able to go check it out on Tuesday. Thank you again!

Jeniqua: What cuties!!! Now that you know how to post pics we want more .

Penny: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PENNY!!! Hope you're having fun on your vacation!

Chris: Yes, Walmart again! I tell people I own half the store here and I store it all at my house. What's up with the pumpkin? Go find that sucker!!!

Crystal: How was Girl Scouts?

Kristin: A leaf walk sounds sooo fun. But we live in the country and the road we live on isn't good for walking, kind of narrow. Of course, I got my excercise with Walmart and the grocery store today.

Nothing planned for tonight. Dh has to work and no school tomorrow so kids will get to stay up late if they don't bug the crap outta me.

Hello to everyone else. Hope everyone is having a great OP day!!!

TTYL

Chris: I just noticed you ticker isn't on right.

ok ladies let me try this again, RUN YOUR CARD AS CREDIT NOT DEBIT. I know that is goes through that second when you run it as debit but as credit it does not. Do a little experiment when you have money in your account and you will see. Running it as debit and putting in your pin is just like an ATM so it comes out right away but when you swipe your card and it tells you to hit either credit or debit, push credit. It does work, trust me! LOL Ok I'm at moms but when I get home I will post more, TTYL!!

Hey there ladies! Sydney is napping, leaf walk, lunch and shower are done. Now that she is napping I am going to get going on this basement! Its gross! It feels so nice to have the whole place cleaned up (well almost all of it) !! I love to walk through my home when it isn't a sty! LOL!

Chris - you crack me up! Good luck on the pumpkin! That would be fun! Well if your husband does kill you I will use this thread to prove that you thought he wanted to ! LOL! hehe - I'd get him convicted!

Deana - You need to eat girl! Sheesh, I know how it goes though when you get busy! I live a t WallyWorld too (Walmart). I own about half the store here! LOL!

SPryng- That check 21 thing is more like using a debt card I think....it will suck when I want to pay a few bills a couple days early....gotta watch how early I send them now! LOL!

Jill - Hi! I don't know what bank you have your debt card with, but do they have one hear and can I sign up! LOL! My visa debt card comes out auto automatically! HOw is your day going otherwise! You are so busy now too!

Michelle - Thank you for including us in your familes lives during this time! I believe the more people we ask for help and prayers the better off we are! Anything I (we) can do, let me know!

Crystal - glad that you are keeping busy!! Are the kids loving watching daddy build their new house?!?! That would be really cool to me! Hope you are having some nice days lately....we miss you...but its got to be fun getting al that going!

OKay - well its extremely windy out here and we played outside and collected 7 leaves that were different shaped.etc. It was fun watching her try to catch them as they were blowing away! NOw its time to get some of this desk, basement crap cleaned up! Talk to you all later! OH- did you all here about this video from Osama BinLaden....scary stuff...they need to get him....SOON!

ok yikes I just posted but my mom was signed on under her account name!!! Good thing I noticed or you all would have been wondering what the heck is going on! LOL IT'S ME!!! BBL

Hello again!

Well I tried to take a nap. I got about 45 min and then just woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. So I got up and crocheted for an hour before Tanner woke up. It was nice and quiet and I was alone with my thoughts. After they got up I attacked the laundry room. It's done now! So I guess besides my bedroom the house is in order. I'm so glad! I'll just fold some clothes tonight while watching tv and that will be done too.
Dinner will be tacos tonight. What are you all having?

Jill, it took me a few seconds but then I figured out it was you! LOL! I'm slow that way, lol. So where does your mom post on this site??

Kristin, so glad your leaf walk was a success! Sounds like fun. It's really windy here today too but so nice outside. I have all the windows and doors open to let the breeze in.

Deana, when you said BLT's my mouth started watering, I haven't had one in soooooo long! But I don't have any bacon so I can't have one Enjoy it for me too!

Chris, any closer to finding that pumpkin??

Crystal, glad you are doing fine today! I wish I got to go grocery shopping, lol. I want out of this house so badly!!!

Michelle, what kind of shopping are you wanting to do tonight? And I am so glad you enjoy your job and school, you sound so happy today!

Well, I guess I should start dinner. TTYL!

QOTD:
Deane -I with ya on that one.My dh works gravyard also so I feel the same way sometimes.I would like for him to work days and he did for a short period of time.It was nice to have him home and helping with the kids.He does everything to help me when he is here but he's normally at work or asleep.
So I can relate with you on that.

Jen-Great pics of your family.

I'll post more later gotta go figure out supper.

Bye the way,not doing to well on plan today.It's craving week(PMS)and I really don't care right now.I know i'll regret it later probly but I'm only human.
I at least got my water in today.(these holidays are going to kick my butt if I don't figure out something)

What's for supper ladies?I don't know what i'm cooking.I'll let ya know when I figure it out.ttyl

Ok I'm finally back. The bank is supposed to call in a half hour so we can get our home equity loan going. We had one from a couple years ago and I don't know what I was thinking but it was 15% interest!! In the long run we are paying over double what we needed for the loan!! Rediculous. So anyway we are going to get another one to pay off that one and a few of our high interest bills. Maybe even get a little extra so we can put up the rest of our fence so Bayley doesn't run into the street when she starts walking.

So I went the the beauty school today and got acrylic nails done. I love them!! They were only 20 bucks!! Everything there is cheap so I am thinking of getting gift certificates for Christmas presents this year. They do all kinds of nail stuff, manicures, pedicures etc, hair and facials. Super cheap too! You guys should check out the beauty schools around your towns, I don't feel so bad doing something for myself when I can get it for half price or less, you know? Anyway I am surprised I can still type!! LOL

Oh and thank you everyone for your compliments on the pics. You made me feel really good! I am also at 146 so I only need to get this pound off to get back to where I was a couple weeks ago. I do think that I am PMSing but I'm not going to use that as an excuse to go crazy this week. I just know that it could be water weight next week so I will still be OP but maybe won't weigh for a couple days after TOM is gone.

Deana you made me have a BLT too!! I had it on WW toast with light mayo and turkey bacon, added a little avocado with my lettuce and tomato and it was super good!! Thanks for the idea! Anyway you sound busy as usual. Hope you have a good night with the kids and movies, that sounds fun! Oh ya and have you got to use that bead idea with your scouts yet?

Hey Kristin sounds like you had fun with Syd outside. I used to love collecting leaves when they would change in the fall. I love all the colors. So you don't have a debit card? Sorry I was confused at your last post. Get with the times girl! LOL J/K

Hey Spryng did I finally make sense about the credit/debit thing? I hope so, I really think you could start doing that and be fine. Let me know if you try it. Anyway good job on the house!! Mine is a mess! Well dh did the kitchen right down to the floors last night, it was so nice. He is awesome. The rest of the house however...................after I talk to the bank I am going to hit it hard so I can enjoy my weekend. I need to grocery shop too but I am going to have to go on Sat. now which I hate, that is if I don't go tonight. We'll see. Awesome about the .5 down too!! I can't believe that! Well I can cuz you are awesome but since it's TOM and you have cheated a couple times geez!! Can I be you please?

Geez Michelle you look good, what diet are you on?? LOL That was super funny!! I wish I looked like that! Can't believe your bored! Usually it's me sitting here just waiting for someone to post. Not lately though. So glad you are enjoying school. I know what you mean about feeling good about doing something for your future. It's a good feeling. How much more school do you need? I'm going to go check out Shauns thing right after this. Did you check out Sparrow Clubs?

Hi Crystal, you sound busy today!!

Hey Chris how is the hunt going?

Ok so the bank called early so I didn't get this done in time and it's been sitting here for a half hour. Everything sounds really good with the bank though and the payment is going to be really low and I'm excited!! anyway........................

Angel get on track girl!! LOL

Ok baby has been poopy for awhile and it's grossing me out so I guess I should go change it and lay her down for another nap. Talk to you ladies later!!!
