Cool Friday - Oct 1 - YIKES!!!!

Another new month ladies..........so hard to believe..........and only 92 days left to this year!! Sooooooooooooooooooo, GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!

Thought I would post this before I went to bed. It is after midnight here so I'm 'legit'.

Susie, I loved the story about Wyonna. I think most of us feel the same as her and I know I take comfort in knowing my 'love' of food is shared by so many others.....along with the anguish. Thanks for sharing. How did your meeting go? Our chapter didn't meet last eve since our meeting place is closed all week. That's OK cause I probably would not have made it. [see info later in post] Continued success to ya!

Wendy, I'm sure things will be fine with the house. Yes, it is scarey. I remember when we bought ours 23 yrs ago. I wondered if we would ever be able to 'own' it.......but we DID it.......and it went fast! The excitement when you move in will be tremendous and to know that this really is your future and you're not throwing money away on rent. Savor the moment......and who knows, maybe your DH will carry you over the threshold!!!!

Sherri, I hope the counseling session went well last eve. Sounds like you are determined to lose with WW and it is a nice incentive to know that the scholorship can be renewed if you are doing well. That sure helps!!!! Keep up your great attitude because your are a wonderful person that just has too much going on in all directions. Keep looking towards the positive, proactive life you deserve. My thoughts are with you and the kiddos.........speaking of them, how is the 'teething' situation going???? That can be a trying time.

Me, oh boy. DD has pneumonia. Her oxygen needs keep going up. She is on 4.5L tonight........but on the positive side, she hadn't had a temp yesterday. Her cough is very thick and I can see she is in pain when she does. I'm doing breathing treatments every 4 hours and her 'percussion' machine 4x's at least a day. I'm very tired, but she gets better care here than she ever could in the hospital. Her doctor has been to the house the past 2 days and is to come again today around lunch time. I just pray he stays around. I'm going to be up alot during the night to check on her O2 mask so that it is not in her eyes or down off her chin. I tried the nasal cannula on her last night, but with her mouth breathing, her sats were horrible this morning. We have never had that problem before....something new always popping up.........and to be alert to. We should be getting the test results back in 24-48 more hours to make sure her antibiotic is appropriate. Thank you for your prayers for her. She and I will be staying home this weekend while dh goes to see college dd and delivers a computer for her. Sure it would be nice to 'get out of town', but things are comfortable here when there is illness. As long as she doesn't get worse, we'll be fine and I'll be a happy camper counting my blessings.

No, I haven't gotten any 'exercise' in other than all my 'nursing' activites. I'm hoping to at least hop on the bike if things just slow down a little. I can tell I'm exhausted and I don't want to 'pull' anything with careless activity, so my main priority is keeping me in as best of health as possible so I can take care of/move/lift her around. I did succumb to my ice cream weakness yesterday and got some 'sinfully' delicious stuff. It was wonderful and it helped me feel better with what was going on. I'm OK with it and I know I will do better.

So, here is a to the start of a new month and weekend. It is Ok to err.......and forgive ourselves. As long as we keep striving towards our goals we will stay focused. Have a great day everyone. I'm going to bed....at least for a little bit. Chat later when I get a chance.

Default Gotta love ya summer

to you miss Summer. I have no words for you except love you, and i'm praying for you. I know what you are going through right now isn't easy. But you still shine through it. Positive attitude. Wow, What a woman. You are definately a in my books.

Susie-Great article. I needed that. I still dream for the wake up and "poof" i'm thin. I know it's not gonna happen like that, just a hard time accepting it. With it pointed out to me, I now can work on that. I've always said one step at a time, by mouth, but my heart was saying, in the morning i will be thin. Ha right.

Sherri- I know that it would be time consuming for you to go through the book, but maybe if you did it one day at a time. made the list and kept it, you would at least have it for maybe a day after a day that didn't go well. You know what I mean. Too many margritia's or mikes lemonade.

Penny- sounded like you had your hands full yesterday. I see you didn't get the chance to get back on this thing. Hope today is a little less stressed for you.

Eleni-I hope all is well with you, and you are still staying focused. Keep up the great job. I know you can do what you are supose to be doing.

me-Well first. Up at 1:30, 3:30 and 5. I'm a little tired. I got on here to read my email, and I wasn't happy. Got a message from brandon's school wanting to know where the fund raiser list was, cuz they had the money but no sheet. Amazing. The sheet was in the same envelope as the money, actually wrapped around the envelope with the money. I'm actually pissed about it. Sorry ladies. Seems like something goes wrong everytime I do one of these for him, and I'm thinking this is now the last. Specially if I have to return all the money. I'm . So the house thing. We countered their bid, and their agent said we are at the preapprove stage for accepting the bid. Our agent and their agent are very confident that we gave a great bid. I'm still not breathing. Their agent said anyone that makes it that far is 90% accepted. They really don't have much they could do but throw away our bid, cuz they have no place to go. So please. We go to the bank today, then we meet our agent to sign the preapprove information, and send over the actual approval letter, and the forms to their agent. We were just hit with another possible $100 at closing, and we will need propane in the tank as soon as we close for the weather. I have to write a $300 dollar check and possibly a $500 check. Plus get home owners insurance paid for by closing. This is taking all we have, but it is so worth it. Please pray for us. We see the bank man today at 12:30, I took a vacation day. Tonight we have a parade/homecoming game for our nieces last year of school. Hubby didn't want to go, and I told him it's her last year, you gotta go, he said no, she has another year of school. Sorry. Nope. She is a senior this year darling. Saturday i'm working, Saturday night is hot dog roast at my sisters. Get this, my neice calls me over last weekend and wants to talk to me. This is the first time she has called me here since we have lived here, and she has never been to my house. 4 years, neither has my brother. matter of fact, my brother hasn't even seen garret yet. Imagin that. My sister in law was going to bring my mom to garret's baby shower, but never called my mom, and never showed up. That's what i'm told. Every time we lose touch, which we shouldn't, i'm the one to get back with them. My neice just had a baby too. I called her everyday to find out if she had it, and even called her mom. None of my phone calls were ever returned by her, and after she had the baby, I went and seen it. She hasn't seen Garret either. Never even called to see if he was ok, nor my brother. Nice huh. This all goes much further and i could go on, ok i will. Well Saturday is my sisters annual hotdog roast that she has sent invitations to brother, sister in law, and niece for at least the last 5-6 years. Only asking for regrets only to respond. They never called, they never came. Well you know the neice called her last weekend to to tell her about a 25th wedding anniversary party that she is giving for my brother and his wife, the same day, and time as the hotdog roast. My sister was nice enough to call her and tell her she couldn't make it because of the party she was having. I have't called yet. I won't be. Probably not a nice way to be. But You have to reach a point in your life when you say enough is enough. I reached that point. Christmas should be joyous. It will be.
K-so that is my weekend, except we are going to my mom and dads on Sunday. it's time we went. We also may have to ask for a few dollars to get us through this house buying thing. Took a while to pay back the last loan, and mom nagged me about it, so i hate doing it. Trying to get as much ot as i can.
Anyway i'm babbling. Love ya all
thinking of you and praying too.
me.

Ladies,
I can't believe this is the first chance that I've had to get here all day! It's been very busy with me at work. Nothing balanced, the wrong supplies were shipped, and the phone never quit ringing!

Hubby is taking me out to dinner tonight and then we are just going to watch some TV. I don't ever get to watch much TV, but I watch a few shows, one is "Less than Perfect" and I'm going to relax and watch it.

I had a loss at TOPS meeting last night. That gave me a total loss of 1.50 lbs for the month. I'll take it! Anything that's a loss I'll take.

I'm excited about the new month...I always am..feels like a fresh start! It's really feeling like fall here in Ohio and it's been so pretty; it just makes a person feel good.

I apoligize for not responding to each of your personally. I'll try to do that sometime tomorrow, but it's 5:00, and I just want to get out of this building! I have a computer at home, but I'm going to spend some time with hubby.

Thanks for understanding!
