Beth's Journal-Bring It!

[Strings]

Thanks guys,

We are shortstaffed at work. Lst weekend was horible because the 2 nurses who were hurt by the pscho patient are on that weekend. Thank you all for your support. One of the nurses is getting a petition together to try and get some agency nurses in until staffing improves. In the meantime, we will be able to cancel the RAT team, if the staffing drops too low. It isn't much, but it is a start. Getting the state involved is the last resort.

Today is looking to be a good day. I got a good workout in at the Y, and I Katie and I are headed to Disney on Ice, Princess Classics. I need to continue cleaning and move the furniture because Orkin comes tomorrow. Comcast is also coming because our internet connection is constantly going down.

Meal Plan..
B: SBD cereal and tea.
L: Salad and rollup.
D: Greek salad while Katie and WOn have Pizza.

Won leaves on a trip tomorrow. He is in a wedding in Florida. It is an odd situation. They ddn't invite Katie and I. I am really insulted because between plane tics/hotel//food/ gift/ etc. It is costing us about a grand. He will be gone until Monday, so I am not working this week. Quite frankly, I need a break from work.

I will try to get to journals this afternoon and evening,

Take care,
Beth

I was doing well yesterday until dinner. The pizza place was out of lettuce, so Won got me a pizza. I gorged myself. It wasn't pretty.
Disney on Ice was fabulous, but boy were the father's crabby. One little girl was screamed at because she spilled a frozen icee on her princess costume. Hello! It is piled hgh. I couldn't have eaten it without spilling. How do you expect 4 year old not to spill
Then a little boy about 18 monts old hs a hacking cough, and his mom says he's burning up. Dad says,"I spent $40 on these tickets. We're staying." Ugh.

Today has been uneventful. I went to the Y and burned 700 calories on the glider. I am pushing the water. Orkin and Comcast have come. Of course, Comcast ended up disconnecting the satellite, so we now hav no tv service. I m waiting for a call back. Got hte call back, and COmcas can't touch the satellite wires, but they will be happy to pay for my satellite service call. Of course the soonest the satellite people will be able to come out is Sunday between 12-5. I am not happy. My husband is out of town. I have a 5 year old, and I am without any tv for 4 dys. Won turned off his phone, and I can't get the DVD playr to work either. I hAd planned on taking Katie to the park. I need to wait for the A%^^&%( from Comcst to call me back. I am a bit tired because we had to get up at 6am to take Won to the airport, but it will be an early night tonight, especially with no tv. Alias and smallville are on tonight. I WILL GET TO JOURNALS TONIGHT!!!
Meal...
B: SBD cereal.
L: salad.
D: Hpefully,

Hi Beth!

I am sending you some for your weekend. Hopefully, you'll be able to get your satellite service fixed as soon as possible.

This weekend, we are counting our Disney change to see how much money we have. Hopefully, I can report some "big money" on Monday!

I hope you have a great weekend, Beth! Take good care of you!

Here's a little pixie dust for your work-free, husband-free, TV-free weekend - sounds like you might need it.

Hang in there, Beth, and make the most of the nice fall weather. I figure if it's raining cats & dogs here, you're probably enjoying sunshine and beautiful blue skies! I bet Pez & Katie would enjoy a walk in the park and playing in the falling leaves, along with a picnic lunch.

Hi there,

Well, I played the helpless wifey. Ugh, it made me ill, but the comcast guy is coming between 12 and 3. I can play dumb with the best of them, if it works, I'll use it. The angry thing didn't work yesterday.

I weighed in today at 220.5. I am down 2.5 pounds this week. YEAH!!! I have been giving the clippie issue some thought. I am .5 away from getting my 50 pound clippie back, but I don't think I will be claiming it. I really feel that I am starting over. I worked so hard to get those initail clippies, and once I got that 50 pound clippie, I lost most of m motivation. I regained to 227. I am saying that I am down 6.5 pounds this round. I am shooting for my 10 pound clippie by the end of October. A doable goal.

Katie and I didn't get to go out to dinner. We're going to OG tonight. Tomorrow we'll go to Greenfield Village with my Mom. I was considering doing the Disneyland exhibit, but it opened just last week. I think I'll take Katie to it during winter break. It may help with our missing-wdw-blues. I also need to get the Halloween party plnned. Mrs Beaupre wants the prototypes of the crafts on Monday. No biggie.

Meal Plan...
B: SBD cereal and tea.
S: Apple with penut butter.
L: Crustless quiche.
D: salad and ww pasta with chicken and alfredo. (Big Splurge)

I will probably get to journals tonight. I do have to finish up laundry tonight.

Have a great weekend,
Beth

Hi, Beth! I hope your tv issue is resolved so that you can relax in front of it if you want. Also, maybe if you get a chance, you might like to watch "Three Wishes" tonight with Amy Grant. It is really heartwarming.

I hope you and Katie have a wonderful quality weekend together!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Beth!

How did your weekend go? I hope you and Katie had a great time!

Have a wonderful Monday!

 

[septbride2002]

Morning Beth! I hope you had a great weekend!

[Blueeyes101817]

congrats on being down 2.5 lbs! Hope your weekend was great!!

 

[lulu201]

Hi, Beth. I was at OG this weekend, too. Funny, but I didn't see you there. . .

It sounds like you had a fun time with Katie planned. As far as the Comcast guy? Don't get me started re: the hours and days lost waiting for the Phantam Repair Guy to appear.

What craft did you decide on?

for your day,
Erin

Thankseveryone for stopping by.
``Ready for a shock? I voluntarily called the doctor. I have been sleepwalking again. Friday night/Saturday morning I woke up in my car. We went to Greenfield Village on Saturday. We saw the Disney exibit. Mom and I loved it, but Katie was bored. It is DEFINATELY geared towards adults. We then went to Mongolian BBQ for an early dinner. Great meal,and I stayed away from the rice and tortillas. I was worried about being alone with Katie with the sleepwalking. so we went to my parents for Saturday night. My dad found me at 6am down at the pond. Not only did I eat 1/2 their kitchen, I went swimming in the pond after. I was curled up on the bench next to the pond. I was sound asleep and soaking wet. The low that night was 43. Guess what? I have a cold now. Last night my mom came home with us. I binged in my sleep again last night. This am, I called my doc. She got on the phone with me. She wants me to have a full physical. She can't get me in until Thursday. In the meantime, I go in for a CAT scan tonight at 10 pm. Sh has called in a script for xanax at bedtime until she sees me. I m not to nap, no caffiene after 1 PM, no exercise after 3, no dieting. Se thinks it is a combination of stress and hormonal changes. She doesn't think it is a tumor, bue will rule it out. I'll be honest, I am not thrilled about the meds, but I'm scared. I am cooking and went swimming in my sleep. I was in my car. It isn't inconceivable that I would drive as well. I see a sleep clinic in my future. Won took the job. I am glad that he is coming home tonight.

I really don't want to talk about how much I gained this weekend. I did go to the Y for 60 minutes on the glider. 750calories. I would kill for a nap, but I will work on the house instead. I should be home from the hospital by 11pm. I need to take Kaie to ballet ant tap. We then immediately go to PTO. Ugh, I am tired.

B: SBD cereal and tea.
L: Latte and salad and apple with peanut butter.
D: ? on the run. May hit subway.

Ok, I need to eat my lunch and get Katie down for a nap. I may read a bit this afternoon.

Take care,Beth

 

[DoeWDW]

dear Beth. I can't imagine how scary this must be for you. I'm so happy you called your doc and that she is taking this very seriously.

Do not even think about your weight. That is the least important thing at the moment. I know that sounds like an impossible task but truly, Beth, now isn't the time. Just get through the next few days until your appt. on Thursday. I'm glad you had the presence of mind to have someone stay with you every night. Will Won be home tonight or is your Mom going to stay with you?

I'm sending all the I've got to Michigan, sweetie. Hang in there - things are bound to get better.

 

[keenercam]

Beth -- Sweetie, those sleepwalking episodes must be terrifying for you. I am so sorry that you are going through this. I cannot imagine the stress you must be under to have your mind do this when you should be resting. I am so glad you were not by yourself Saturday or Sunday nights, but that just can't be easy for everyone who knows you and loves you. I am glad your doctor is taking this seriously. Please keep us posted.
Sending and and : in hopes that the stress in your life can be alleviated and you can start getting some real sleep and peace.
Take care of you, Beth.

 

[keenercam]

Beth -- I just wanted you to know I have been thinking of you so much, and hope everything is okay with you.

HI ALL,

I tried to post earlier, but the boards ate it, then my internet went down again.



The CT went well. The techs didn't see anthing. I should have the rdiologist report when I go inon THursday. The xanax seemed to help a little. Won says I never got ot of bed, bt I did tlk all night long. I also kept sitting up. I woke up exhusted, so I got Katie off to school. I then went to back to bed. I don't think of it as a nap, bt more of sleeping in. Got up, showered, walked Pez, and went to pick up Katie. We went to lunch and the library. Grocery shopping after. Quite frankly, I am dragging my behind. After dinner, I am taking Katie to the Y for swim lessons. I will walk on the track during this. 20 minutes, not a real workout.

Meals (I haven't been really hungry)
B: 1/2 bowl of SBD cereal.
L: 1/2 chicken salad at McDonalds latte.
S: Apple and peanut butter.
D: Salad.

I will get to journals tonight.
Tak care,
Beth

 

[DoeWDW]

Keeping you close in my thoughts and prayers, dear Beth.
