Last one to post........... Part 8

[kaylajr]

They days are getting lonely around here.
Sorry
it's been so hectic here lately...

but i will be here for a few minutes
so I will be last :)

[Mom2Ashli]

I just figured you got busy and left for work already.

[Mom2Ashli]

Wow. I am still Last

[Mom2Ashli]

:cheer2:

[Mom2Ashli]

:hourglass

[Mom2Ashli]

:hourglass Kim you should be getting up anytime now.

[Mom2Ashli]

Kim must be very tired and overslept.

[ckckc2000]

No-Kim's 18yo thinks the computer is his right to be on and he took 1/2 to get his lazy butt off of it!!!!! :rotfl:

[ckckc2000]

It always amazes me that he thinks it's his Right to be on the computer as much as he pleases-And everytime I tell him that it's time to get off he just keeps on playing-His Dad has walked up in the past and turned the power off on him :rotfl2:

[ckckc2000]

:rolleyes: It sure was quiet around here this morning and afternoon-doesn't that just make the days drag by

[ckckc2000]

:rolleyes1 I think Kelli has given up???????

[ckckc2000]

My friend from work is going to be here on Friday...(for 11 days with 4 kids!!)http://www.mousepal.com/ParkPics/Castle%20Dusk.jpg

[Mom2Ashli]

VERY SLOW DAY HERE. Even for me.

[Mom2Ashli]

Woohoo - Your back.

Darn that son of yours. I have been waiting and waiting.

[ckckc2000]

We lost DS in this area at Disneyland when he was 4-We went one way BIL let go of his hand and this was where DS went-up and out of site-took us 22minutes to find him...

[ckckc2000]

I know he can drive a person to drink-he likes frustrating me,it must be his purpose in life :rotfl:

[ckckc2000]

So are your blisters better???????

[Mom2Ashli]

Well give him a good bop from me. Making me wait all this time to talk to someone other than myself. What was he thinking? :confused3

[Mom2Ashli]

So are your blisters better???????

Yeah they pretty much go away pretty quickly. But always come back when walking.

[ckckc2000]

He never thinks just does everything on impulse-And now he is considering jioning the Navy in Jan when he graduates since he doesn't have any clues to what to do with his life...Kids

[ckckc2000]

Do they give you any pointers on how to treat those blisters-we always used mole skin in the Army-I had tendonitis of my achilles tendon-it would squeak when I walked, and blisters were murder too-but they did eventually go away when callous replaced them

[Mom2Ashli]

He sounds like my 6 year old. She only hears what she wants to hear.
:listen:

[Mom2Ashli]

Do they give you any pointers on how to treat those blisters-we always used mole skin in the Army-I had tendonitis of my achilles tendon-it would squeak when I walked, and blisters were murder too-but they did eventually go away when callous replaced them

Yeah they say moleskin. But where my blisters are it is hard to put moleskin there. I have getting them between my toes on the bottom. From the bend to the tip of my toe where the two toes touch.

Do you know what I mean?

I have heard people say they are wrapping their toes with Tape but I am not sure that would be comfortable.

[Mom2Ashli]

Wow would you look at the time. It is almost time for me to head for home. Than sit thru 2 hours of Dance class for DD.

[Laurajean1014]

Hello, oh, by the way......................last.

[Mom2Ashli]

Okay it appears that I am talking to myself again. :confused3

[ckckc2000]

Had to throw DS Tae Kwon Do uniform in the wash-Your evening sounds like mine-Piano for an Hour and then Tae Kwon Do, and DD has a soccer game at 5:45,but DH will have to take her to that

[Mom2Ashli]

look at you sneaking in there. And where have you been all day long??

[Mom2Ashli]

Plus in between walking in the door tonight and come home after Dance we have to do homework. :guilty: Man just another reason to love Mondays.

[Mom2Ashli]

:rolleyes1

[Mom2Ashli]

Plus the DIS is running very slow for me.

[Mom2Ashli]

:hourglass

[Mom2Ashli]

:tongue:

[Mom2Ashli]

:3dglasses

[ckckc2000]

My work just called-my fun job not the stressful PICU-but the small NICU community hospital-I swear the person in charge of training is senile!!! I've only told her about a 100 times that I'm not certified for NICU care,only PICU.Oh we'll get you in a class right away!!!....well-no class so now my orientation to a larger NICU hospital nearby is on hold until I get the proper certification :earseek:

[ckckc2000]

But I only told her a 100 times maybe I should of mentioned it 101 times :rotfl2: and she always seems surprised and says "your not NRP certified??" whatever!!!!!

[Mom2Ashli]

She must listen like our kids. She only hears what she wants to hear. :rotfl:

[ckckc2000]

Now if my phone would stop ringing I culd sit here and DIS in peace!!!!!

[Mom2Ashli]

Need to start packing up to head for home.
Have a good evening. Not sure if I will be back on tonight or not.

[ckckc2000]

Sad to say-but I have to get DD to Piano early so she can get to soccer game by 5:15 practice then game-love that running around!!!!!-Maybe I'll see you tonight or if not then in the morning-I'm off :wave2: -have a safe drive home-and don't have too much fun tonight :flower:

[Mom2Ashli]

Gee thanks. You don't have too much fun either.

[kaylajr]

like a plan-our union takes care of that money per/hr thing
well at least you don't have to worry about it than

the Union tried to get into our company a few years back tryied starting with the Drivers but they got voted down
mainly i guess because no one wants to give up the awesome profit sharing deal we have and we would have to with a union

[muffy0110]

profit-sharing is a good thing-my husband is in a type of business that has this

[kaylajr]

okay i went back and read all the posts

So maybe she can start on monday!

I'm getting ready to go tackle the housework!

And here I sit hotter than heck.

I can't wait for a break in this weather.

[ckckc2000]

I did that on Sunday-and by the looks of my house it's hard to tell I did!!!! :rotfl:

[Mom2Ashli]

I guess okay. I have to work..... :guilty:

Good Morning Everyone.................. :sunny: :sunny:

I can't wait for a break in this weather.
The geese are already heading for Florida-they are smarter than most I think,that's why we're moving to Atlanta soon-all four seasons,but not as severe!!!!!

Oh are the joys of children-our little home wreckers!!!!!

[Mom2Ashli]

It was just a little cooler out this morning. But not much.

[kaylajr]

Oh are the joys of children-our little home wreckers!!!!!
Children??
I think DH is the worst :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[eeyoresmountainpals]

I clean my house and 5 minutes later it doesn't look like I touched it.

:rotfl:

At least now I know I'm not alone! Try living with 3 boys (and a DH that's as bad as the three boys)! That's why the only reason I can do housework is when they're all out of the house!

[ckckc2000]

Children??
I think DH is the worst :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
Not my DH-he's Mr.Perfect, always reminding me and the kids that we left something out and need to pick up after ourselves!!!!

[kaylajr]

Got the results of DH lab work last night

looks like I have to totally change the way we eat

His cholestoral is WAY out of wack and they say he is most likely gonna be diabatic and with his family history that is not GOOD

his dad died at 53 from his 8th heart attack
his grandad was dead at 55
and his uncle is 49 and had 2 heart attacks and triple by pass ( dad had that too)

DH was always in a denial like it can't happen to me

well dear the test results say different

[kaylajr]

Not my DH-he's Mr.Perfect, always reminding me and the kids that we left something out and need to pick up after ourselves!!!!
That's his Military showing :rotfl:

I know my DH is the worst! But he won't admit to it at all!

DH was always in a denial like it can't happen to me

well dear the test results say different

He better get out of denial pretty soon!

[ckckc2000]

Well the first step is done-test results :flower: Admitting there is a problem is half the the battle!!!

-my FIL has a bad history too and so far so good,has outlived all those who died at an early age-did have a heart attack-small one and then had bypass surgery-is doing much better

and if cholestrol can't be controlled by diet-or it's way too high-he should consider a statin drug-reduces the levels and has many other benefits-it was just in the news again on how it helps prevent bone loss(i think that's what i heard)

[kaylajr]

He better get out of denial pretty soon!
yeah as soon as he got the results he snapped out of it
and is saying how he is not gonna be like his Dad

i sure hope he means it

his Dad never did anything to try and improve his health
just ate what ever he wanted
no exercise

at least we have a good Dr

she knows the family history well and told DH we are gonna attack this problem aggresivly and you are gonna be OK if you will listen to Kayla and me

[ckckc2000]

That's his Military showing :rotfl:
I know-always has to have it relatively clean or is all grumpy :rotfl: Not me got that Military side of me rid of as soon as my 1st baby was born and sleep deprivation set in :rolleyes:

Due to history and how high it is she is starting him on Meds right away
he still has to change his diet but she is not messing around with him

so between me and her he doesn't stand a chance

i do have to say he is doing good so far

had a grocery list all done before i even got home last night
all stuff to improve eating around here

[kaylajr]

I know-always has to have it relatively clean or is all grumpy :rotfl: Not me got that Military side of me rid of as soon as my 1st baby was born and sleep deprivation set in :rolleyes:
:rotfl: :rotfl:

My Dad was Navy took years to get that out of him and sometimes he will slip back into it

My brother was Army first than joined the coast guard

just got out totally about 2 years ago and he is horrible i swear you could bounce a quarter on his bed
everything has to be in it's place and all


I keep telling him to relax :rotfl:

[Mom2Ashli]

Children??
I think DH is the worst :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

That is exactly what I was going to say. :rotfl:

[ckckc2000]

Good for him :flower: -FIL is just starting to slip a little(has been 6 yrs now)-has gained a lot of weight back-but is doing good

Hope he can stick to it-not much fun but definately better than just ignoring it :)

[Mom2Ashli]

Kayla - I sure hope your DH means it. Because allot of that can be controlled by diet and maybe he won't have to take so many pills.

[ckckc2000]

I guess it's easier to be strict and military when you don't have kids or (like my DH) not responsible for the majority of the housework :rolleyes:

[kaylajr]

Well considering he does at least 50% of the gorocercy shopping and 75% of the cooking I hope he means it too

or I may have to take over which would be bad cause he is a great cook and i am so NOT


so what are you all doing today???

[ckckc2000]

DH wants to go to the gym and wants me to go with him-well see

I do have to stop in at my work and pick up some stuff,but tuesdays are my down day with the kids-no activities tonight!!!!

Are you off today, Kayla????

[kaylajr]

no i have to work all week

i am off sat and sun this week

[ckckc2000]

At least you have the weekend off!!! that's a positive :flower:

[kaylajr]

the company DH and I work for will pay 50% of a membership to the YMCA

so we are thinking about that

but when we would have time to go is another story

[kaylajr]

At least you have the weekend off!!! that's a positive :flower:
:cheer2: :cheer2: Can't wait
my little nephew Brandon is being baptised
it should be a good weekend

[ckckc2000]

we have the same thing going on here-DH uses the Y the most-plays basketball and loves the sauna-me and the kids use it more in winter-they have a great pool for the kids,with slides and everything-but finding time is another problem

[ckckc2000]

:cheer2: :cheer2: Can't wait
my little nephew Brandon is being baptised
it should be a good weekend
Sound like a great weekend is in store for you :cheer2:

[Mom2Ashli]

Kayla you should take the company up on the Y deal. That is pretty good 50% off. And they have allot of things to do for the kids.

DH really wants to start working out again.

[kaylajr]

A new class at Xtreme Total Health & Fitness promises better living through gyration.

SOHO - In a dark room lined with floor-to-ceiling mirrors, eight women arch their backs, sway their hips and fix their lips in sexy pouts.

Tousling their hair, they drop their eyelids in come-hither fashion.

Speakers blare the lyrics to Madonna's 1992 hit Erotica.

"Stick your chest out!" yells their leader, Kelly Craft, a petite blond.

"Now your butt. Be proud of what you've got. Grab it! C'mon, this is your playground!"

The playground is actually an exercise studio at Xtreme Total Health & Fitness, a popular South Tampa gym owned by Joe Redner.

Redner is best known as owner of Tampa's landmark strip club Mons Venus, but the women following Craft's lead are not strippers. Nor do they aspire to be.

They are eager students of Fit Strip, a one-hour fitness class that debuted this month, making Redner's 24-hour gym one of the few in Tampa to embrace the workout that's all the rage in Hollywood.

Last year, Desperate Housewives' Teri Hatcher showed Jay Leno and his Tonight Show audience how she pole dances to stay fit. Former Baywatch siren Carmen Electra launched her own video series of aerobic stripteases in 2003, after taking Crunch Fitness' Cardio Striptease classes. Two years ago, Oprah Winfrey featured Pole Dancing 101 on a show about "finding your inner sexpot."

Shapes Total Fitness locations in the Tampa Bay area, including the Shapes on Swann Avenue, already offer striptease classes.

And now, Xtreme. Some might say it's long overdue, given the racy images neighbors conjured up in 1997, when Redner opened the fitness club.

"Because of who the owner is, people already had some expectations that we would gravitate in that direction right away," said Warren Rose, Xtreme's group fitness director. "So I think it's actually wise we did this later rather than sooner.

"Right now we're trying to find programming that is unique. We are extreme, and we want to have a class that shows it."

Craft has a voluptuous figure, bright blue eyes and a smile that goes from sunny to sexy with the grind of a hip. A 30-something mother of one, she has full-length mirrors and a stripper's pole in her St. Petersburg home.

Craft has never been a stripper, and there is no nudity in Fit Strip. Exposed midriffs and sport bra-supported cleavage, yes. Bare breasts and naked bottoms, no.

"The only thing that's going to be bare in here are your feet," Craft said with a smile.

Craft was a gymnast during her teenage years, then moved to classical ballet. She has since become certified to teach yoga, Pilates, kickboxing and cycling.

Today, more than a year after moving here from Los Angeles, Craft juggles her Xtreme classes with pole fitness classes at her St. Petersburg studio, L.A. Dance Moves.

Craft learned to strip for fitness a few years ago in the L.A. home of actor Sheila Kelley, a married mother of two who learned to pole dance for the film Dancing at the Blue Iguana.

In 2002, Kelley started hosting pole classes for friends and fellow mothers. A year later, as demand for the classes grew, she opened the S Factor Studio - which features five poles - in Los Angeles. A San Francisco studio followed.

Actors Daryl Hannah, Lisa Rinna and Allison Janney are among those who tone up their quads, abs, arms and derrieres by dancing like strippers.

"It's about empowerment," Teri Hatcher has said. "It's about finding this place of comfort and confidence in your own body."


* * *

There is no pole in the exercise room at Xtreme, but the women taking Craft's Fit Strip class are getting a workout just the same.

When they sway their hips, their obliques burn. When they get on all fours and do the "cat pounce," moving their chest back and forth across the floor, they work their arm and stomach muscles.

Their legs shake with fatigue when they do the "corkscrew," a move that has them twist their legs up and around, toes pointed.

"There's a lot of Pilates in this," Craft said. "It's not easy holding your legs up like that."

It's also not easy - at first anyway - to be so sexual in such a public forum. Women worry that they're not pretty enough, not thin enough, not buxom enough, Craft said. The class helps them get over those feelings of inadequacy.

"A lot of women are afraid to express themselves sexually," she said. "You find out in class: Wow, I can do that? It's an extreme power trip."

Tonya Meacham, 32, of St. Petersburg used to be so self-conscious about her body that she refused to work out in a co-ed gym. Then she started taking Craft's pole dancing classes, and her confidence grew.

Sure enough, there she was in the first class of Fit Strip, back arched. Hair tousled. Hips moving seductively.

And to think she considers herself shy.

Ouuuuuu-sounds serious!!!!!!!!

Just some fundraising issues for my son's eighth grade class! I'm the treasurer for the class (along with the PTSO treasurer). Several parents have approached me concerning the "honesty" of one of the parents and some cash problems last year (same parent had an eighth grader last year, too) so I want to run this by our principal. Sticky situation! :confused:
