Hey everyone

Congrats HS, whata great job...yes you deserve a Mani/pedi...EN-JOY it!

Just popped in to say HI...Hubby is leaving on Sunday for 2 weeks....so we'll see if my hair is still blonde or gray when he gets back...hahahahahaha

I still love my scale...I have taken a few days off working out due to a SORE foot, so back to the grind today! YAY...I am thrilled, I have set a new goal of my next race 10km in 50 minutes or less....gives me something to work towards and I am confident I will achieve it!

Happy Friday, Have a great weekend everyone!

Hey ladies

lol, the foot is much better, must have just been strained from my run, so I took a few days off working out so I wouldnt make it worse, and now it seems to be just fine!...Yes, hubby is away for 2 weeks, so I have no idea how I am going to swing working out..I have been dancing with the kids and doing ab crunches with my daughter sitting on my stomach...lol...not the same but its ok...hahah, it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cold here...yuck!

Im trying to keep busy, so organizing and cleaning..yay...lol...my house has never been so clean...lol...dont have the biggest kid of them all to clean up after...I swear sometimes it is a full time job just cleaning up after my hubby...the 3 kids and I are not nmearly as messy...hahaha

Oh well, I miss him....this is only the start of things to come...a year of work up training and going to afghanistan in August/06 for 6 months. It'll be rough, but I WILL SURVIVE..

Happy Monday everyone!

hello to everyone! Finally nice and sunny here even if a bit chillly...better than rainy and chilly like yesterday...hard to believe just over a week ago it was in the 80s...today is grocery day and since it's nice...i'm going to be taking the dogs on their weekly country walk...lotsa exercise there!

Hope everyone is feeling much better today!!

Happy Monday everyone.

Food - good
exercise - good - walked after school and took the doggie for a walk in the park
water - not too good, there's just no time at school it's amazing if we get time to breath!!! lol

Hellooooooo everyone...here's my schedule

Work sleep work sleep...eat like crap and don't do any housework!lol All that OT finally caught up with me and I'm burnt out...soooooooooooooo I'm being lazy lazy lazy..except for walking the dogs...that's the only exercise I've been getting!

Hope everyone is keep up with Leanne!

Hello everyone!

I have been working lots of hours. I don't care for the job, but it pays the bills.

My attorney thinks that we will be able to settle the divorce soon. He is going to pay me half of what I would have gotten if we went to court, but this way I do not have to wait years for it. I

I have seen my guy every weekend. He is sooooo nice. I am not used to a man being kind to me. He keeps telling me this is the way he is and I will just have to get used to it. The scale loves me and he loves me. I couldn't ask for anything better!

Wish we all lived close so we could get together. It would be so fun to visit and see each other face to face.

Will talk to you all soon!

Well, never thought Id say it, but I miss my hubby...now, I dont miss cleaning up after him, I just miss him....
My parents are going through the lovely world of "divorce", and its not fun...flower...how are you doing with it all?......I have known for YEARS my parents would get split, but now that it is actually happening, I cannot believe how emotional it is making me...and no one to hug me...(well the kids, but you know) So I took my 2 year old to swimming lessons...oh my god, youd think he was being killed, he kept SCREAMING MOMMY MOMMY>...I felt terrible...it lasted less than 10 minutes.
So needless to say an emotionally gripping week for me...so today I went to the gym, (the babysitter was here already since the swimming lesson was a no go)

SO I have filled the fridge with all those " go ahead and eat as much as you want food, like fruit and veggies..."
UGH..................
Thanks for letting me get it out, I feel a little better

Leanne

Hellooooooooo Flower and Leann...

Good too see everyone...Congrats on all the Love Flower! Yes it would be great if we could all get together! I think once we all win the lotteries we should!Lol

Leanne, I've been thru3 divorces with my biological mother...none of them were good...even as you get older...it still hurts...and what ever you do...stay strong for yourself...don't let them use the you or the babies as tools against each other...don't let either of them guilt you into anything ...don't let them emotionally abuse you...they may not realize they are doing it because what they think they are doing is getting you to be a support for them in their down time...but it's not the right thing...you can be support for both of them without them using you other motives..subconscious or not...I've yet to see a "nice" divorce...sorry Yes I ahve...my two gay friends a guy and a girl who got married to each other to keep their families happy until they could move to canada and get a divorce and come out of the closet!Lol Keep up the swimming lessons! I still don't know how to swim!!

Keep up the love ladies!!!!

well..this one is gonna be short...got the flu that everyone at work got except me...until today...so hope everyone is feeling MUCH better than I am!

hi all

I'm nice and stress free at the moment...it's half term here in the uk, so i've only just gotten up, had a lovely breakfast (healthy) and the kids are watching tv (unheard of in term time!) Ohhh i love the holidays!!!!

Sorry to hear about your parents divorce Leanne, it's not nice at all, i agree with HS - support them but keep your distance..my mother and my step father divorced and it created havoc for the rest of us (siblings on both sides) Just remember it's their battle not yours..sounds harsh i know, but what with hubby away you need to be strong for your kiddies. as for the swimming lessons, how about just taking ryan with his big brother the public pool, no lessons just fun, maybe if your little one can just have fun in the water with no pressure of lessons he may start to enjoy it. especially if cameron like the water too, it may rub off on him??

Flower - you sound happy....work hard all week, and what a reward every weekend! I'm glad finaly things are coming around for you...how are those girls of yours enjoying their new house and happier mum?? I do agree with what your saying, it would be nice to live closer...i'll take HS advice and start doing the lottery i think ;-)

Sorry to hear your sick HS - you probably caught it off me when i logged on here last monday i was full of it...sorry! It's been right thorough our family...the little ones got it now, right at the start of her holidays!!! ahhh! Anyhoo....you look after your self, it's all that darn overtime you keep doing!

I'm eating well, drinking loads (seen as i'm at home and not in school) and exercise...could do better...well i am on holiday!!! lol

HS - are you still the gfuru of tater chips and salsa..or have you curbed those cravings??? lol

Hey Ladies

Thanks for all the help....I am taking my frustrations out on my house...it hasnt been this clean and organized since before we moved in...lol....my hubby may not know what to think when he comes home.
As for the swimming lessons, I NOW have to go in the water with him...YIKES, I HATE wearing a bathing suit and I especially hate the one I have now...I need a new one, but have to wait...yikes!
As for the divorce issue....yes, I am staying out of it as much as I can...but as an only child they are calling to ask which things I want and yada yada...lol, the only thing I want is my dad's formal dining room set, it was my Oma's and my parents got it restored and it is GORGEOUS, now with 3 kids and a tiny house, I dont actually want it until they are MUCH older and we have room for it...but, it is known that it is MINE MINE MINE...hahahaha The good thing about it all, is that we MAY actually go down to Niagara now that we will be welcomed at my dad's house...I love my mom, but she stresses me out like you wouldnt believe.

ANywho, my weight has been really really good...although I have started back to the not eating when I should and being starving/bored at night...so now that I realize it...I HAVE TO STOP...

Happy Monday everyone
Leanne
CW 111-112...

Water - Excellent
Food - Excellent until last night's munchies got to me...bit like what you were say Leanne..it's boredom while watching tv at night...I don't do it during term time coz i'm busy getting stuff ready for the next day etc...but while i'm on holiday...!

I'll try harder tonight.
Hope alls well with the rest of you
Tulip
