Hey girls...
 

Boy what a Monday this is. I feel so lazy today. I kept my son home from school today because he had a little bit of a temperature and a boogery nose (sorry for the visual :lol: ) . Knowing that he's home makes me want to go home and take a nap too. :yawn:

Chris, sorry to hear your feeling poopy, or is it poopless? You may want to try some Wow chips to help you along. I ate some last week and I must've ate a little more than 1 serving and boy, did I feel it. That was weird. It never happened to me when I ate them before but I always made sure to measure out just 1 serving. Still sending good vibes your way for that baby.

Kempy I remember girls in my high school who were maybe under 5' tall but with their hair they would be 5'6" :lol: . Mostly the filipino girls (Hawaii's equivalent to mainland chicas) . I was not one of them. I was one of those who only wore black too, black jeans, rock t-shirts, black denim jacket w/chains, buttons, rock band patches. I can laugh at how ridiculous I used to look but back then, we were so cool :dizzy: . There was one teacher that used to call us the "black jacket gang" . A lot of people steered clear of us and we liked it that way.

Angie how's your day going? Did Corey get his toe fixed? Sounds painful :cry: .

Sandy are you back to your old chipper self? Just think about your doctor's visit and how pleased he'll be when he see's your progress. :D Glad to hear the warm weathers coming back to ya.

Gar, Jen, Kim, essey, Lori and any others I may have missed, hope you all are having a great day and a week ahead.

Can someone tell me how slow the clock can really move? AAUUGGHH!!! I am so ready to go home and the clock is just sitting there. I have been checking the site but you guys aren't posting this makes the day go by way to slow.

Good morning. I seem to get on here when there's no one around. Oh well. I'm feeling better. I took some milk of Magnesia.. but after all day and all night, nothing happened. I'm thinking it wasn't what I thougth it was.. it must be something else. Not sure. What a nightmare though.

Feeling energetic today though. Did my workout this morning. Waiting for the sanitary survey of our home and property, for the city to tell us our home is safe for babies. Nice, huh? Think about how much easier it is to just get pregnant, and go through that. We're on the short end right now. But it's worth it in the end.

House is spotless, and I'm showered up and we're just waiting on him. Any minute now. I'm working, so to speak. Just havne't been bugged by anyone yet by cell phone... I hav3e a long orientation meeting with a couple of my kids all afternoon, to get them volunteering at the local hospital. Should be interesting to sit through. Glad I got my workout in this morning, cause sitting there all afternoon is a killer.

Well, when you all get on here... morning ladies, and have a great day!

I just got back from taking Corey to the doctors. They didn't remove the nail yet nut he drained the infection and gave him some more antibiotics. Lets hope the infection goes away and he is okay because I made Jay go in for the incision. :lol:

We did the riverwalk with the dogs today. NEVER AGAIN!!! They dragged us the whole 2 miles and barked at people. I also did my usual 1 1/2 mile walk this morning before the doctors appointment. 3 1/2 miles so far. Yipee!!! Tomorrow it is supposed to cool right back down again. One good day 7 crappy. Gotta love Maine!!

Happy Tuesday
 

Hey everyone. Just jumping on to say hi...debating whether or not I should get my butt in gear and go for a morning walk w/my sister. We're going to watch a pro boxing match tonight (oooh fun, I know :rolleyes: ) featuring Brian Viloria, an Olympian and my neighbor. He's about 21 years old and he calls me "auntie" out of respect. I feel really old when I see him around even though I'm only 10 years older than he is. From the last statistics that I've seen he's 11-0 w/6 KO's. Should be at least a little exciting since we'll be in the 2nd row. I think it may be televised so look for me :D . I got my elliptical last night :jig: . Of course the one they had on advertised special was out of stock for a month...they had a lower model w/only a 14" stride length which I tried. It was fun but it didn't feel "right" . They had another brand available w/a 17" stride length which had more features than the one advertised and actually felt more sturdy than the one on sale and the guy gave us 20% off so we got that one. I tried one of the other models w/the nomal stride length (whatever that is) and I couldn't even get coordinated, my legs are way to short. I don't know what brand it is (not a Proform) but I can't wait to unbox it and get it out of my car. Feeling :strong: .

Well gotta get a move on...the day's waiting. :flow2:
Have a good one.

Angie is it a river that you walk by or a boardwalk type thing? Did you have all 3 with you? If you did I bet that was fun. It is a shame that you can't come down here for awhile, the temps are going to be around 80 for the rest of the week. I really don't think we will see cold weather again until October.

Chris it is a shame that they don't go check some of these house of people living around me. I don't think they are very clean and certainly not clean enough to have kids running around in. It is a shame that more kids can't live with people like you and Chris.

Noelle Joe and I would love to go to a boxing match. We always tlak about going but never get around to it. You guys have awesome seats. Is it going to be live on tv? If not let me know what time and channel and we will watch out for you.

Not to much going on today. I am just waiting for lunch. Isn't that sad?

Good afternoon chicks.

Noelle, thanks for blowing the warm air up this way, but if it's not to much to ask could you blow just a little harder? The weather man (god love him) says its gonna be cold for the rest of the week. As Angie said "you gotta love Maine weather".

Congrats on your purchase hope you like your new machine. Sounds like fun. Have fun at the boxing match.

Well I went to the doc's today for my yearly. I have a new doc, cause mine left:( . Anyway, she was nice, and she isn't even a string bean like most doctors, she was like a little on the pudgey side:D (it's just great to know they arnt all perfect) She was happy I am loosing weight and told me to keep up the good work. I do have to go have blood work done tomorrow to check my sugar levels, seems my body just hates to get a dose of sugar or carbs....it can't break it down fast enough and it sends my levels way out of wack, meaning this is early sign of diabeties maybe? I had gestrational diabeities with Alexis, and it runs in my family, so every year they check me out. She says maybe with weight loss it may go away. And I have to go have another darn mole removed from my back. Better safe than sorry she says. I had one removed last year and it ended up being nothing, and she said this is probably the same, so in the mean time they are scarring up my back removing all these stupid little moles. OH well. But other than that all went well.

Talk to you all soon,

The riverwalk is where the trains used to run beside the river and individual towns will dig up the tracks and plant flowers and stuff. Alot of older people in my town use them. Yep all 3! I have Candi and Rebel on a splitter leash so they are together and Jay does Cappie(since he tries to squirm out of his collar if he gets excited) The people who had him last definately didn't spend any time with him but he is a good boy for the most part. :lol:

My elliptical is a Proform. The only complaint I would have is that one of the arm extensions loosens up with every hours useage so I have to keep tightening it but other than that I love it more than the other machines I have.

Chris, Is it still that hard to adopt if you were trying for an older child?Or is it just newborns? I don't know anything about the process for adoption. I know alot of people around here who shouldn't have been allowed to have kids.

Gotta get back to work. It is so warm outside right now. I just filled up the dogs pool and they are loving it. But the weatherman calls for 40's again tomorrow!! YUCK!!!

Sandy, My doctor left too. I hate that. I didn't even know until I scheduled a pap and they told me. I was like do you still have a woman doctor available. Yep so I got the pap. Now she is gone too. What the? Now it is all males and I prefer a woman doctor especially for woman stuff. When I was pregnant I went to a woman for that reason and on the day they induced Brit they had an intern their and he actually delivered Brit. I was so embarrassed(Yes even through all the pain I was still embarrassed :lol: ) Then with the twins when they were stitching me up they had my room door open and the paramedic(men) were in the hallway watching the doctor stitch me up.And all my glory was aimed at the open door. :lol: Geesh!!

Angie you're so funny :lol: . I've only had female OB/GYN's too, but during my labor overnight the doctor on call was a male--and he had to check my progress every so many hours, yuck! At the actual delivery though I had a team of all women and it was OK. The only good thing I remember about the male doc was that he was the one who approved my epidural :cloud9: .

I checked the box on my elliptical and it's an Eclipse brand, don't know if it's good or not but it did have more stuff on it than the Proform in stock, I like bells and whistles I guess.

Sandy diabetes runs on my dad's side of the family (uncles and aunts) but none of us have it. I think I may be borderline myself having been heavy most of my life. I was lucky enough to not get gestational diabetes but I did have trouble TTC, like right now too. I think you'll be in good shape after losing the weight and hopefully it won't develop at all. Sending good thoughts for your mole removal too. :flow2:

Gotta split, got a dentist appt @ 9 am. CHeck back later.

Hey girls. I think the adoptioj process is aweful, but good in the end. It sifts out those that aren't serous, those that aren't ready, and those that aren't sure about how to raise their adopted kids once they get them.

It is really easier to adopt older children, there are so many waiting. We just wanted to start with a newborn,a nd then maybe adopt a toddler a few years later... easier after we've gone through the baby thing.

We're all clear wiht the sanitary survey.. now on to the fire marshall inspection... geez!

Noelle, Am I the only woman who was ready to get up and walk out if they gave me an epdural? :lol: I am serious. I went in at 6:00 in the morning to be induced and by 6:00 that night I hadn't gone into labor(oh yeah and when they put the iv in for the pitocin the missed the Vein and my arm swelled up like staypuff. I wouldn't look at my arm even though it felt funny because of the needle and my sister and brother in law noticed it. HAHA) They were going to pop my water and if I didn't go into labor after that they were going to do a c-section and I actually said" Can't I just go home and come back tomorrow and try again?" Luckily they broke my water and I immediately went into labor and had her 6 1/2 hours later. I had to do the same thing with the twins only no pain medication and it only took 3 hours(But it hurt like ****!!!!)

We walked 6 1/2 mile today. I also brought out my patio furniture and washed the covers and enjoyed the afternoon outside. Too bad it is gonna get cold again. That was too much of a tease.

Well it is cold and rainy today. It sucks so bad after yesterday was so perfect. I even wore shorts in the afternoon!! I had to exercise inside. YUCK!!!

My weight is giving me troubles just like it did when I hit 130. If I eat anything for a snack(even lowfat) I gain weight and spend the week trying to lose the bloat. It is so depressing!!! Right now I am 1 pound up and I haven't even been eating anything bad(some wow chips the other night) So I have to try to get rid of that and hope for some sort of loss for this week. I hate trying to lose weight.

Sandy, Have you heard when it is supposed to warm up again?

PS: I forgot to tell you that yesterday started my summer ritual of saving mice and birds from the cats! :lol: We came home from one of our walks and Shadow and Fat Cow had a baby mouse in the driveway so I scream at them and they ran towards it because they know I am going to take him away. I got to him first and we put him in a bucket and put him out back so they couldn't kill him. I can't even count how many birds and mice we have had to save from them.Usually I make Jay take them in the car and put them in the hay fields up the road so the cats can't see where we put them and kill them later. I am a freak I know!!! :lol:

Angie:
I don't know when the weather is gonna warm back up? I hope soon, I really enjoyed doing my walk yesterday with no coat on. Now today we are back to coats. Just think soon enough we will be moaning because it is too hot..and we got the air conditioners running full throttle. I wish we had a pool like you. We do have the lake and the beach though, so it's better than nothing. I think this year, being a little more active I will swim more often.

So you saved a baby mouse. You just earned your Mickey Ears....LOL...but, I know what you mean, my dogs, both of them for some reason like to torment moles when they find them and I am always yelling at them to let go or leave them alone.

Speaking of Mickey ears, we watched a show last night on cruises and saw the one for the Disney Cruises, oh wow, they look great. So now my new kick is Disney world for the kids or a cruise on Disney line Cruises. You can actually check your kids into a activity place and they give you a pager and you are free to go till they either page you or you are done doing your thiing. They have family pools on board or 18 and over...something for everyone. Oh what a dream.

It's been pretty okay here today, but now the clouds are moving in and I bet it's gonna rain before I get out of work to do my walk. Bummer!!! Tomorrow is WI day for me, and I know I've had a loss, thank goodness, I was getting a little worried.

TTYL,
