Hey Tracy,

Great job getting that workout in! I hope your washer can be fixed, that is something has always worried me about the stackable kind. Prayers for the washer!

I saw the entired midwest in the deep freeze, I hope you warm up soon. Keep up your good work and stay warm!

traceycooper · 01-14-2009, 02:36 PM

You know what they say ''theres always someone else worse off than you''

Good evening friends,

I am stress eating and in a major way!

My DH called me about an hour ago to let me know he was stuck in Columbus due to the weather. He had to go to Cincinnati for work (4 hours away) and has been stuck in Columbus (2 hours away) for over 2 hours now. He had a bad day at work and this isn't helping any.

Right now, I am taking my frustrations out on a bowl of soup and some french bread. Please send good thoughts and prayers for his safe travel.

I got some things accomplished today, but find myself in that overwhelmed, don't feel like doing a darn thing mode again. I'm not sure if it's because I am pre-TOM or what, but today I have been able to find something wrong with just about everything. Let's hope Negative Nelly isn't here to stay!

Hope everyone has a good evening.

toystoryduo · 01-14-2009, 07:52 PM

I just spoke to my DH....He's managed to travel about 40 miles in 3 hours!

Praying the weather breaks ASAP so he can get home ASAP.....

Amy&Dan · 01-14-2009, 09:04 PM

Tracy, praying for your husband to get home safe and soon! I feel so bad for all you folks in the midwest with this horrible weather. Negative Nellie will probably leave as soon as TOM makes its appearance! The weather probably isn't helping. Feel better sweetie, and don't worry, we all have those days!

toystoryduo · 01-15-2009, 08:19 AM

Thanks Amy.

My DH made it home in 6.5 hours yesterday. The trip normally takes him just under 4.

He was really glad to be home last night.

Not much going on here....It's too darn cold!

Our local school district had school today, but the school I taught at did not...That means the girls are off from homeschooling today!

So, what's the plan? Stay warm! Temperatures are at zero right now with wind chills well below zero. BRRRRR!

Hope everyone has a great day!

lovinaz · 01-15-2009, 02:37 PM

Good news that your DH made it home safely.

There must be something in the air, I didn't feel like doing anything yesterday either! My kids actually had cereal for dinner (they love it when I get into those kind of funks!)

I hope things are better for you today, hang in there!

Amy&Dan · 01-15-2009, 05:31 PM

Hey Tracy,

Glad you got a snow day, there has to be some perk to a nasty winter! And I am so glad your hubby got home safe and sound. I knew he would but I also know how scary having someone you love out on icy, snowy roads can be. Stay warm!

toystoryduo · 01-16-2009, 09:12 PM

Thanks ladies.

We had an interesting start to our day....The temp last night went down to -15 degrees and this morning our electricity went out.

It was off for almost two hours and it got downright cold in the house!

I am glad that they fixed the problem because it is supposed to be just as cold tonight.

We got some shopping done today and got some pretty good deals. I still need a grocery store trip, but that probably won't happen until I make a menu.

I've got Mom Time at church tomorrow and my DH may have to work. If not, we may go walk around the mall to get some exercise in.

Hope everyone has a great evening!

Amy&Dan · 01-17-2009, 12:16 PM

Tracy, good luck getting a mall walk in. It is so hard to exercise when its so cold. Heck at those temps you aren't even supposed to be outside at all anyway. I hope you guys warm up and I hope your power stays on!

Have a good weekend!

toystoryduo · 01-18-2009, 09:14 AM

No mall walk for us yesterday.

When I got home from church, both girls were complaining that they were sick.

DD8 was throwing up and DD6 has a nasty cold. So we stayed home, vegged out, and watched movies all day. We even watched Prince Caspian twice: once with the actor and director's dialog and once without. I'm very unhappy with Disney's decision to abandon the Narnia series. The next book in the series would make an excellent movie!

I know that Disney is saying that finances came into play in their decision, but don't release Prince Caspian when two other big movies are coming out and your revenues might have been much greater. I think they should have released the movie in theaters in December of 2007 or 2008. They released The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in December 2005 and look how well it did. Oh well. it's not the first decision that Disney has made that I strongly disagree with and I doubt it will be the last.

Sorry about the vent.....Moving on....

Today, we will be staying home again. I'm glad football is on. As much as I like Prince Caspian, I don't think I want to watch it again today.

My DH and I may work on our budget and maybe have a Disney meeting to brighten up the girls' day. Not really planning much....Just praying the girls feel better and that DH and I don't get sick.

Hope everyone has a great day!

lovinaz · 01-19-2009, 12:40 PM

A lot of things can change, remember when Disney parted ways with Pixar? That didn't last long, did it... So there is hope the Narnia series may continue after all!!

Sorry to hear everyone is sick, that is no fun! But at least you had a relaxing day to recuperate.

Amy&Dan · 01-19-2009, 02:39 PM

Ugghh, vomit flu! That is the worst. I hope you and your husband don't get it! And I hope the girls feel better today.

I was bummed about Narnia too. But like Amy says, Disney does change their minds and plans all the time! Here's hoping, they are nice movies with action for the whole family.

traceycooper · 01-19-2009, 02:50 PM

wow -15 is COLD!!!
i didnt know Disney wasnt going to carry on with the Narnia series

My fav is voyage of the dawn treader & i was so looking forward to that!!
Hope everyone is feeling better!

toystoryduo · 01-20-2009, 07:13 AM

Thanks ladies.

The girls are feeling better....Mom not so much. I didn't sleep well last night and when I woke up this morning, I started feeling like I am coming down with a cold.

I took some Sambucol and hope that helps to ward off any bugs coming my way.

Today's Plan:

* Homeschooling

* Laundry (one load)

* Work for DH

* Research (work at home jobs....any ideas?)

I really hope Disney re-considers the Narnia thing...I think VOTDT would make an excellent movie!

I hope everyone has a great day!
