sorry i've been missing in action.
Glad that things seem to be going well with everyone.
Susie, great job on only one little debbie. I like desert after I eat too. It puts the end to my meal sorta speaking.

Sherri-you are sounding a lot better than a couple of days ago. I hope you had fun last night. Let us know how the weight watcher program is going.

Eleni and Nita-my thoughts and prayers are with you. Eleni-you can keep it steady on the nuts. You are doing awesome. Nice of you to open your doors to others too. Hope everything is still ok. Hope you had fun playing cards.

Me-well it's hard to get here in the moring specially when i didn't have coffee to enjoy with the morning paper . Bought a coffee maker yesterday before Garret's appointment. I like my new coffee maker. Garret got Shots. Not a happy camper. He weighs 12.14, and is 23.750 long. Grew 2.25 inches in two months. Brandon, be something else in the morning getting ready for school. Can't seem to get him to sleep at night. I hate arguing with him too. We are closer to getting the house. Our loan officer however switched to a different bank. So friday we are going there and getting preapproved again. this time we are hoping that we can do it with 3-5% down ourselves, and paying the closing cost, that way we don't have to worry about fha stipulations. We have the house picked out, and let me say, we are definately blessed by having our own realtor. He is helping us out in so many ways. We are putting in a bid today, and he basically told us what would probably fly. He knows the sellers agent too, and they have been communicating back and forth. He already told him what we were starting at and the sob story about us being 1st time home owners, and that this is what we've got to work with. Our realtor is pretty confident all will go well. So please continue to pray for us, that all does go well and smooth. Hopefully we will be home owners in 2 weeks. Can't wait to get out of the trailer. I'm thanking God for his blessings on us. I'm thinking him for the courage he gave me/us to go through with this, ect. I have to check out homeowners insurance today. So much to think about. . I'm working out at work, and would love to work out here, but been too tired to do that.
I would love to stay on here all day, and talk with you ladies, but I can't. Must get the family ready for school/daycare.

Good morning,
I've got a lot to do today, but I decided to stop here first so I could get my daily motivation!

I'm still taking my Accounting class. At this point, I have to continue. If I drop it now, I get no money back, so I'm going for it. Truthfully, I'm terrified! It does have me stressed out, and I've decided that beginning today, I'm going to be more positive about it. I'm learning something, and that's what counts. It does bum me that my 4.0 average will not be in that standing anymore. I know that sounds negative, but it's not, just realistic. I think I can get a high C or a low B, and that's ok. I have to get OK with this, the stress is flaring my IC up something horrible.

My daily mediation today came from Jeremiah 33:6 it said "I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security". I'm claiming that verse as mine! I feel that my health stops me from a lot of living and I pray everyday to be healed, so I'm claiming that verse.

My goal today is to be more positive, about my health and my accounting class.

Wendy: Garrett is growing so fast! You are doing fantastic! I imagine it must be hard to take care of a new baby, work on losing weight, shop for a new house...talk about STRESS! I'm very impressed that you are working out at work. I think you are doing great!

Sherri: How is the WW coming along?

Penny: How are you doing? Fill us in on what's going on with you.

I Choose: I hope to see you on the boards. It's a good group here. I feel that my TOPS meetings help me a lot to stay on track. Did you decided to join one?

Summer: It's good to see you here. How are you doing?

For those of you I missed, you really are on my mind, it's just that I don't work it to full capicaity sometimes!

Have a wonderful day everyone. I need to get to work!

HI Ladies,

Well, I've had a tough night. DD is very sick....she started to really flare up about 7pm with non stop coughing so I gave her something to suppress it [prescribed] but it didn't hold and I maybe got 1 hr sleep. Got her in her w/c at 2am cause she couldn't breath and had to switch her to an O2 mask since the nasal cannula wasn't working due to mouth breathing. Keeping the mask from slipping into her eyes or off her chin is a never ending task along with suctioning her. Poor kid. Her temp is also 6 degrees higher than yesterday. Her nurse is here now giving her a bed bath. The hospital/town has major problems going on right now with her dr [He's basically being railroaded out and he is such a good caring guy ....too long a story to go into] and I will not go to the other 2 here in town................so we may be going to Denver. Keep us in your prayers, please.

My eating hasn't been too bad, but I have slacked off on the exercise. I got sick Sunday eve so the eating has been less but I've been pushing the water and that has made me feel better.

Wendy, good to see you here. Yep, dealing with kids, regardless of age, is tough. Always something, right Eleni? lol: Continued good luck with the house.

Susie, I like your sense of humor about using the mind. You have a good attitude about your class also. If I understand right, it is needed for your degree so there is not much you can do except for accept it and try your best. There is nothing wrong with a B or C every now and then. The main thing is that you pass. Hopefully this is the only class you have at this time. My oldest dd is taking 15 credits and she gets so stressed. Especially now that she is at a large University.....and she is a small town girl. Keep focused on your goal today.

Must run, bath is done and we're trying to figure out what to do next with dd.

Hugs, Summer
