How is everyone? Pretty good here. I have been so tired the last couple of days because I haven't really gotten alot of sleep. Seems like since I've been back at my new/old job, my schedule has been thrown off and I've been working a 9-10 day stretch with one day off somewhere in the middle. We are a little short handed now, so that is making it difficult, but I am hoping we will get back to normal as soon as possible.......whatever that is.
No big news on the food front.......still crappy. My co-worker just went out and got food from Steak & Shake & I had a double cheeseburger, large onion rings and a strawberry shake. Healthy, huh? I know, I can feel one of 2cutes "SNAP OUT OF IT!" coming.......I'm working on it. Well, not working on it, but
thinking about working on it. This is the longest that I have been off track and I am unhappy about it, but unwilling to change at the same time. I seem to have lost my motivation. I just hope I don't end up in the grave before I get it back. That last line was a little over the top, wasn't it? I want to go back and erase it, but I don't think I will because it is how I feel sometimes. I bet you guys sure will be happy to see me "back to normal."
Whatever normal is.......I'm not sure I know anymore. Anyways...
2cute: Hey girl......don't feel bad. I love "Friends" too. When I read your original post, I was freaking out.
I thought I had missed it. I knew "Friends" usually come on, on Thursday night, but I thought with it being a season opener, it just may have come on tonight and I would have hated to miss it. Also, about the stomach stapling, you hear the same kind of stories everywhere. You have some people that will absolutely swear by it and when you see the outcome of their success, you want to just do it and get it over with, and then you hear the horror stories, (of which there are many) and you just wonder if it is worth the risk or not. I have personally decided that it is NOT. Even though I have been totally disheartened and unhappy lately, I love my life enough not to risk it for that type of surgery. <<<<<Yet I don't love my life enough to stop shoving the food in. Hmmmm, does that make any sense?
SaraJoy: You have some absolutely wonderful ideas and how proud I am of you for keeping your promise to yourself. You are doing a wonderful job. Congratulations on the remarkable weightloss. May we all be inspired by your dedication. I sent you a PM with my info for the Christmas cards. I think it is a wonderful idea. Thank you for being so helpful.
Lucky: I know what your saying about being tired. It seems like there are just not enough hours in the day. I wish we could up it somehow from 24 to 36....then at least I would get a little bit of sleep every now and again.
I can't say that I can give you a lot of advice about keeping a marriage together.......the most important thing I can say is....be able to laugh at yourself and your spouse. Laughter, believe it or not, will get you out of a seriously bad situation. Everytime I am running off at the mouth, making a mountain out of a molehill, my dh looks at me, holds out his hand like it's a claw and makes this noise like a lion roaring.......(his interpretation of me at that moment) and it never fails to tickle me.
Kat: I will definitely keep my fingers crossed for you and the new job. I know you've been unhappy for quite awhile with 3rd shift. What works for some doesn't necessarily work for others. And to answer your question, I am back at my old job. I know you remember, I LOVED the job, but hated the boss.......well, the boss is gone now, (HUGE STORY) & I hated the hospital (still haven't figured that one out yet) so I went back and I am happy as a clam! That is the one really good area in my life right now. Hope yours works out for you sweetie.
Michelle: I just have to say AGAIN (please tell me if you are getting tired of hearing it) how happy I am that you are back. Your posts always cheer me up for some reason. I can almost
hear you talking in your post to us. I am very excited also......news article in my local paper today announced that zoning has been approved for our new HOME DEPOT! No more trips to LOWES..... hehe....I knew you'd like that.
Sorry John.
Baylee: I have been missing you chickadee and wondering where you've been. I hope things are ok with you. Sorry you had to work your butt off last night....don't you hate it when you have to bear the brunt of all the work? I have to say though, I am glad that you are getting something done about that tooth. If your anything like me, you put that kind of stuff off till the last minute........I have a bad habit of putting off Dr. visits and then usually end up in the hospital.
Duckie: So glad to see that you are back with us......I truly missed you. I can't believe it is so cold there. I thought we had it bad. It has rained here for the last three days and the lowest it's been was 62 degrees. I bet that sounds like a heat wave compared to what you've been dealing with. Also sorry to hear that you are sick. Have you been to the Dr. yet? {{{sending you some chicken soup, o.j., aspirin and kleenex}}}}
to you.
Well girls, my co-worker keeps sighing, so I think she wants to use the computer for a little while, so I will hop off for now. Have a great day and know that I love you all!
