So far so good today. I am flat our thirsty today though. I'm chugging water and still wanting more. Gee..do you think that means I'm not getting enough.

Where does the ethernet card go? In the computer or the modem box? I guess I'm an idiot when it comes to computers. I can type on em and know most of the Window Office programs but thats about it. Oh..and I can get on the internet How's that for smarts??? LOL.

Gotta go. NEed to get my butt to the bank and to my sister's house for another "fun" filled day with all the kids. My grades are so off this year because of that. I'm always watching kids and never getting time to study and do my work. But, they don't seem to care, as long as they get their jobs done and their classes taken. Makes me mad, but I have a hard time telling people my true feelings and saying no.

Sometimes Chris you just have to speak up for your self. You need to make good grades, nd make cure you do well in school. ((Hugs))

As for the ethernet card you have to open up the comp and put it in an available slot. you will see what I mean when you open it. It is kinda hard to explain. but yeas it is around where the modem is. you should have at least one extra space to put it in.

I am doing ok, just having the sugar attacks. I can't seem to stay away from it. But outside of those I am eating well. Had some difficulties arise today soI will have to hit the gym tomorrow and Friday. Hope your life settles some.

Later chica!

I just don't know how to get out of babysitting...She needed one for Friday this week but I told her I couldn't. She asked my other sis what was bugging me yesterday, so Janet told her that I don't have time for anything and I can't get my homework done. I wish I didn't feel so obligated to them. I don't know why I do. I don't ask anything from them...but they always think I am there to solve it all for them.

I gotta get to bed. We have an appt. to meet with the surgeon tomorrow to see what they are planning for Kelly and his surgery. C ya in the morning...

Night

Chris good luck with the surgeon today. I hope everything goes as planned. I know it is difficult witht the extra babysitting. I have been doing the same thing with my sister, btu I have been trying not to ask her all the time. The only problem is the only other person I have to watch the kids is my brother, and he is sometimes unrelliable gotta run


Later chica

chris I'm a little worried that I haven't heard from you are you both doing ok...how did the visit with the surgeon go??? Things ar ok here nothing big going on. ((hugs))

I'm here...I"m here! Just been a hectic weekend. Tiana had basketball games on Saturday and then the girls had to dance at the Holiday Food Festival that day too. Sunday I spent working on my paper for English.

The meeting with the surgeon went well. Kelly has to do a couple more tests on Dec. 12, then they'll schedule him in. The only bad part is he has to go off his meds for a few days before the tests. He is in pretty bad shape after 1 day without them. He's very nervous about going for 7-9 days in serious pain. The other not too awesome part is that he will be off for 3-4 weeks. Youch! They are going to wrap his stomach around his esophagus to tighten it so acid can't reflux up and they also are going to repair a hiatal hernia he has. I sure hope this will give him relief. He has stomach aches almost all the time now and he is maxed out on what they will allow on meds.

Okay..I gotta get going. My finger is sore because its a little infected from a cracked cuticle. Makes typing hard.

Hey Chris I am still around. I have been sick and busy with thanksgiving. I am hoping that life slows down a little, and I can shake this cold. I feel like I have been sick for 4 weeks! It is not a bad enough cold to kkep me in bed, but I an getting tired and my throat is sore.

((hugs)) to you and you rfamily keep me updated on what is going on with Kelly

((Hugs)) right back at you. I have heard so many people being sick with this cold. Thank God it hasn't gotten me yet. Do you need me to send you some Chicken soup????

I've been so busy around here too. Homework, Thanksgiving, and family obligations. I'm just drained.

Gonna go relax in the tub for a bit. Night and get some rest.

Christina

Chris~Some things are better. I paid bills, so that is a huge weight off my shoulders. I am still fighting this stupid cold, and the kids all seem to have picked up one too. all in all things are ok for now. Waiting for Thursday we are supposed to get snow, so that means a hard freeze, which should help my cold/allergies a little. I have not had the courage to get on the scale, I was not very good the days after thanksgiving...even though I was really good on Turkey day itself. I am trying to get my butt back into shape. I need to get to the gym, but this cold has not helped that cause. Ok well I have little girls asking for orange juice, so I have to go c ya later.

I was going to leave you a good post but just noticed I have an econ assignment due today and I haven't read the chapter yet. Darn!

ANyhow, we got some snow and tonight its supposed to be -12 degrees. Freezing cold..YUCK

Check you tomorrow...
christina

It sounds like you are getting my weather for tomorrow. Hope you do well on you assignment! Still fighting this cold, but it feels like I have turned a corner, and getting a little better.

Hoping if there is not too much snow to make it to the gym tomorrow. For today clean the kitchen and go shopping.

Laters

Just having one of those days I wish would end. My hand is sooo sore. My RA creates carpal tunnel in my wrists because of the inflammation and it hit hard today. N-I-C-E!

So hows the weather? It's warmed up here a bit but still cold (at least not sub-zero though).

I exercised two days in a row. I'm not sure if I can tonight or not. I have an assignment to turn in for accounting and once again...I haven't been able to read the chapter. TWo more weeks then its vacation time. Woo Hoo....

I'll check back with you tomorrow and give my little fingers a rest.

Chris I hope your fingers are better> I Have been ok This cold seems to be almost over. I think I am going to try to get to the gym on Monday.

The weather here is nasty now cold and snowy, although all the snow is on the ground, so it makes it easier to get around. I am missing last weekend with our high of 67, yesterday we only made it to 11 Woohoo So happy that winter is finally here<insert sarcasm>

Have to runn just home from work, and I have to dig up a snak or I am going to be a piggy when dinner id finally ready.

Hey Ellen, sorry for not getting on here sooner. My sister has banned everyone from her laptop now so I can't get downstairs to this computer when all the kids are racing 80 different directions upstairs. Conner so far today has poured a gallon of milk on the floor, threw some glass ornaments down the stairs and has just been a terror. You literally have to watch him every second. I'm just going nutz....

I don't know what's going on with me but my weight has jumped to 214. I haven't changed my ticker, hoping that I can get it back down. I'm kind of getting scared about this. I just feel like I can't do this, and I'm panicking, thinking I'm creeping that much closer to 300. I swore that I would never get over 190, then 200 and now this. Just wanna cry.

Well gotta go...Conner is missing again....

christina

Chris~ (big Hugs)

You have to keep up the hard work. I know you can do it. We all have difficulties along the way....just keep fighting and you will get through it. I too have been in a slump these days, but starting Monday I am going to start posting my challenges-and I am going to make it to the gym, even if only for 1/2 hour before the kiddies go to bed.

Ihave to be the one to put my health in the forefront of my daily life. No one else is going to do it for me. I will get my motivation back and so will you.

((hugs)) later chica!
