Good morning ladies
eleni-thanks, I'm with penny. I would love to see your art work if you can post it. I bet that new hair cut makes you feel refreshed. I love it when I get my hair done. Did it this past weekend. Looking a little dry though.

Sherri-Hang in there girl, you can do it. Sounds like you got a plan, now work with it. Get creative at work again. Focus on what you can do at the time.

Susie- decisions. I hate them sometimes. I know accounting can be a pain in the butt, but if you set your mind to it you can do it. The other thing is, you have to figure out what you like to do more. Work alone, and with numbers, or in Human resources, and help out other peoples difficulities. Either choice, I'm sure you will be fine and good at them. Take it easy on yourself, everything you are doing at one time will call for stress.

Wanda-the retreat sounds awesome. I get confused on the exchange thing a lot. Specially when foods are mixed. Like Lasagna, chilli, ect.


Penny-I'm doing fine. Good days and bad. Not fighting with hubby now. Actually I yeld at him at a friends house, after a bachelor party, the next day, and all his friends could see from a distance. Then the neighbor came over which is a good friend of ours too, and someone started to tell him all about me, and He told them to give me a break. I just had a baby, and my emotions are all out of wack right now. Actually he said hormones. What a guy. told his wife to give him a big hug and kiss for me. That was pretty cool.

me-we were approved for a loan, but not sure if it's gonna be enough. I can get more, (the bank said if we need more, we will see what we can do) not sure what we are going to do. We are going to look at a house tonight, and talk to our realitor. A friend. Maybe he has some good advise. K- you all came through on the loan thing and prayers, I really would love you to extend it to finding a house now. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers

all those that didn't address, sorry, but I gotta get in the shower.

Wendy,

That is great that you got approved. You will find the right house for you. Maybe it was good to get approved low so that you aren't financially strapped. Remember god has a plan for us and he has a house for you. Let us know what happens with the realtor.

Penny,

I am glad you didn't get any damage. I was worried. I know those storms are terrible.

Christie where are you girl?

I will check back in at lunch time. I got to work 15 min early so today is starting out good for me. I hope it stays that way.

Hi Everyone,
I can't tell you how motivating and uplifting it is to me to come to the board every morning and read your posts. It's so good to know others who can give you advice because they have been where you are.

I've decided that I'm going to go to the Accounting class tonight and on Thursday and after that I'll decide. I'm leaning towards continuing in the class. My office manager said that she will help me with it; that even includes coming to my house on the weekend for a couple of hours if I need it. The only way I won't stay in the class is if I go in tonight and everyone else got the concept easily. That will tell me that I don't need to be there at this time.

I looked into changing my degree from Business Management to HR, and guess what? I still need Accouting 101, so that was a deciding factor. If I have to take it, for eithier degree, I might as well, get it over with!

I had a great workout last night. My workout partner was at a meeting so it was just me. I really got focused on the walk and when doing the lifting. It made me feel in control and I needed that after I had the mini binge on Sunday. My DH had his 6 month checkup at the doctor, he has to have his blood pressure checked every 6 months and the checkup went well.

So, it's a beautiful day...I'm going to enjoy it. I'm going to smile at people who walk in the front door of the office, I'm going to be pleasant to my co-workers and I'm going to be kind to myself. I was thinking about the TOPS pledge: "I am an intelligent person..." YES I AM!

Penny: Glad to see that you were safe from the storm. How are you doing with your plan these days?

Wendy: I'll think good thoughts about the loan. And I'm glad to hear that things with DH are better. Some times we just have to set those men straight! How are you doing with your plan? How about the water? Are you getting in what you want to get in?

Sherri: It's good to hear from you. It sounds like you have alot of pressure at work now, but your plan sounds good. You can do it!

I bet get started on my work day. I'll try to check in later on today.

Morning Ladies....

Wendy,
That was sooo sweet of dh! At least he is understanding and sticking up for you! Awesome

Sherri,
Even though you aren't exercising at lunch, make sure you are still focusing on you... You deserve it

Susie,
I think you are going to do great with your class! Like you said, you have to have it with either degree right? Let us know how you decided

Hi to Eleni, Christie, Summer, LaDean, Nita and all you lovely ladies

I am doing just fine..... Been struggling with months jumping back in forth with my weight. I have not been able to find a plan that is just for me.... Ya know what I mean?

Well I got all the info on WW Core.. and I have started it as of yesterday! Doing great and I really love it The scale will let me know what it thinks....lol

Have a wonderful day

[mompen]

Oh btw, Hunter and Nicholas's bday party is this weekend....

Here is a pic of Hunter's practice cake I made....

They will each have their own cake with their own belt color.
We are having it at karate where they attend!

Susie,

Sounds like you got a breath of fresh air. Just wanted to remind you that you are you and not anyone else in that class. Like you said no matter what way you go you have to take it. Just because the other grasp the concept easily (if they do) doesn't mean you have to quit. It just means it takes you longer to understand. I bet as soon as you grasp it you will take off and then you won't have any problems. Somethings just take more time then others to get for each individual. Hang in there. That is great that you have help from the office manager. Take them up on it. It will help you out and you won't be as stressed.
Glad to see you stuck with your workout even though you did it alone. Keep up the great work.

Penny,

Hey girl I love the cake you are doing for the boys. You are so talented. I have to have all my cakes made for me.LOL Glad you like this new plan. Hopefully you can stick to it.
I haven't been on the scale in a week because of everything going on. I have new hours at work. 8:30 - 5:00. So I am going to go workout before I go to work and see how that goes. I will have to leave 20 min earlier in the morning but it is worth it to be able to get that time in for me. On wednesdays I can just leave the house later.

Well had a talk with the hubby as much as he would listen I should say. I wanted to get what I was feeling towards him off my chest and I did for the most part. He wasn't very supportive but I knew he wouldn't be and I told him it wasn't the kids that were a problem it was him. So at least I got that off my chest. I am concentrating on work when here and not home. I am praying a lot to help me not think about home when I am here. That is hard for me. But I know I can do it. I am so scared to death of messing up now and losing my job so yes it is stressful. But I am really putting 100% into it like I should finally. I realized I am depressed and that is a lot of the problem. So have to take care of that to. Pull myself out of the dumps. I see a light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully I will still be here when I reach that light.

Gotta go. Talk to you tomorrow

Sherri
