CONGRATS TO MIKE!!! YIPPPPEEEEEEE!!!! I KNEW HE WOULD GET IT!!!!! I hope you can start resting easier now Shelley. Maybe the reduced stress from Mike finding a job will help you feel better too.


Suzy, I'm glad you were able to share the better part of Fathers day with Tim.

Debbi, your house sounds like it is looking really nice! You love to paint??? Must be those paint fumes getting to you girl! LOL!

Chris, did you get your painting done? I am scared of heights too.

Linda, you have did a great job resisting temptation at the coffee shop. I love donuts, but I also know the smell really gets to me if I walk into a donut shop. It is way too sweet and sickening. Maybe it can be the same way working around other sweets and goodies so much.

Where oh where is our little Cheryl??? Dee is at the pool I'm sure! Janice? Everyone else? Did ya all forget us???

I work today, then home to start preparing for our trip. We will leave Thursday around 4:00 in the morning so you guys won't hear from me then until late Monday night or Tuesday sometime. I need to go get the stuff so tomorrow we can make jello shots. It's juvenile, but everyone gets a kick from them. Last year we made about 150 of them, filling a huge cooler, they were gone by the 2nd day.

Shelley, I know that is a load off of your mind with your hubby getting this job. My ex worked construction and he traveled a lot and it always was stressful when he was between jobs. That was enough to depress me and I always ate whenever I was feeling depressed. I must have been depressed a lot! ;)

FYI group- We didn't even get to touch the painting. :( Of course, when you have all these BIG plans, the weather won't cooperate. ARRGGHHH!

I had to work yesterday so I walked for 20 min. during my breaktime and then went to the gym last night and did another 40 there. Amazing for me lately!

Sorry so short but my sis will be here shortly to drop of her kiddos. Check back later, when I feel a bit overwhelmed and ready to pull my hair out. :D

Chris

HUGE news today! I stopped into Kohl's today and tried on a couple pair of shorts, I actually fit in a size 12!!! I bought them just because they were
12's! I am so excited!

Just popping in to say HI to all my friends.

Shelley I am so glad that Mike got the job. I am sure that there is alot less stress in your house now. Do you think this job is better than the other job he had?

Gayle I remember those jello shots you made last year. Boy would I love to come and party with you. Have an awesome weekend. I will be thinking of you because Country Fest is my kind of party.

Suzy you are right about a lap top for the pool house. I have thought of it. If I had that I wouldn't be so quiet here. That's where I am heading now.
I just can't miss the nice days.

Sorry I didn't post a personal message to you but my Royal Prince will be home for lunch and I wouldn't want to keep him waiting for his Princess.

Love you all.

Great job Lynneye!!! I am so looking forward to the day I can fit into a size 12 again. Still hanging in the 18s that are too big and the 16s that are too darn tight. I hate this in between stuff.

I got some painting done today. All the lower windows are done with the primer. I just need one more coat of white on the front ones and the side windows and then I can start in on the windows in the back of the house. I got some of the carport done too. I might paint later but I think I get extra children this afternoon sooner than I expected.

Tonight I'm going to the gym with my sister again. We're doing it later at night so as not to disrupt the family schedule. Looks like I killed mine anyhow. Hubby needed to go out of town on a service call and wanted to do it tonight. We'll see what happens.

Chris

:carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: WOO HOO!!!! Way to go! I know that is a good feeling. I'm stuck in between a 10 and a 12. I can get into a 10 jeans in some brands but it makes breathing difficult! ;)
