OMG Beth, I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Amy i was just thinking about typing that as i read yours!!!

Beth - its 12pm & i'm still in my pj's ...looks like they're staying on after reading your post

positives:
cute guy told you & didnt let you walk around the gym without knowing!!

Beth,

I'm sorry you had such a tough day yesterday. I hope your day today is much, much better.

Oh Beth,
As someone else said I did not know whether to laugh or cry. As you read it kinda has the makings of a sitcom.

I am sorry about the situation with your parents,that is never easy.

I know it is hard to stay focused but that may be what gets you through.

Hi guys,

Yes, I am still alive.

Sorry I haven't been around. Things hare a bit quieter now. No more major drama to report. TOM is kicking my behind. I went to bed at 830 last night. I was just whipped. Work has been crazy busy, and Kate has had dance and a school function the last two nights. My food choices have been horrendous. I have worked out though.

We only have a doc for the am tomorrow. If my boss is nice, he'll let us out early. I plan on hitting the gym. If he is being a pain, they can pay me to WISH . I win either way. There is a mandatory "celebration" for the Rochester office anniversary. At least it is at my favorite restaurant. I am expecting the booze to be free flowing. I am limiting myself to 1 drink, and some sushi, and dessert.

Ok, I need to make lunches and get to bed. I hope all are well.

Take care,
Beth

Hi Beth..

Hope you get out of work early and get to go to the gym tomorrow .

Have fun at the restaurant...good girl setting your limits in advance. But hey...would two drinks really hurt??? (sorry...I'm a bad influence LOL) Anyway...seriously good job for thinking ahead and planning for the inevitable temptations!

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Beth
enjoy the celebration
hope you make the gym!
Glad there has been no more 'drama'
have a great weekend

Hi Beth! Sorry I've been M.I.A.

Wow, what a crazy day you had a couple days ago, huh? Glad to hear things have calmed down a bit. I hope the work party was fun. I love those.

Take care, girl and have a GREAT weekend!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Beth,

I hope you are feeling better. TOM can certainly do a number on us can't it?

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hi all,

Sorry I didn't make it to all the journals yesterday. My boss did decide to let us go a bit early, so I got my workout in. Dinner last night was yummy. I got there a bit late, so I missed most of the sushi. I only got 2 bites, but I more than made up for it with cocktails. My plan of 1 turned into 4 mojitos! The fourth one was sent over by the guys at the next table. It would have been rude not to drink it. I also had a sweet chili pepper glazedchicken dish that had a bit of kick to it. Yumo! I did pass on dessert.

THis morning I felt the mojitos, but went to WW. As expected I posted a gain. Between TOM and the family drama, I have been way off program. 3.2 pounds. I am not stressing it though. No biggie. I am back on track today. I hit the gym after WW. I did 60 min on the elliptical for 940calories. Went grocery shopping and came home for lunch. I had soup/salad. Walked the dog. Rant ahead.... While walking the dog, I saw a 3 yo little boy hit by a truck. I wasn't the trucks fault. THis kid was on one of those electric mini Jeeps. He went into the street, and the river did a great job swerving, so he only clipped the toy car. Now where is the mother. Inside the house. It makes me so angry that there are people who are so negligent with their children when others can't even have kids. Anyways, I ran over and covered the kid with my coat and called 911. He was alert, but had compound fractures (bones sticking out) to both the left leg and arm. I used the drivers' belt to tourniquet the leg because he was bleeding so badly. I think he'll be ok. The mom was in hysterics. She kept saying that he knew better than to go in the street. Sorry, Obviously, he doesn't. She was watching a football game. Anyway the ambulance took both of them to the hospital. I talked to the police and left. The mom never said thanks or asked a name. Please say a prayer for that little boy because he will be in pain for quite a time. I of course need a new jacket because mine is blood soaked. No good deed....

After that, i came home and caught up on journals and folded more laundry. now I need to think about dinner and clean.

Take care,
Beth

 

[kimwim8]

OMG, Beth. What a horrible thing to witness. But you are an angel, I tell you. You were there for a reason - to help that little boy. I'm with you - I get SO mad when parents are negligent with their little ones. I still won't let my DD8 walk next door to our neighbor's house without me standing on the porch watching her. Thank God you were there. That's for sure.

Freakin' TOM. He's nothing but trouble. I'm glad you're putting your gain in perspective and moving forward. That's the way to do it, girl. And I'm glad you had the mojitos. You deserve to let loose and relax for a while.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Beth. That little boy is definitely in my prayers.

 

[Caitsmama]

OMG Beth,
What a terrible thing to have to see!! Thank God for angels like you though!!
That is unbelieveable that the mother let a 3 year old out alone!!!!!! WTH is she thinking --(or apparently she's NOT!!) "He knows enough to not go in the street?" Come on --- he's 3!! Ugh.

Sounds like between everything going on - you have your head on straight and are on track -- good for you!!!

Have a great day Beth!

 

[kmp1191]

Beth, you are amazing!!!
I just got caught up on the last week or so.....holy crap woman!!! You only gained 3 pounds after all that!!!
Kudos to you girl!!!
As for the mother and the little kid....she's a dumb@$$!! I feel sorry for the kid, of course, but for the driver that hit him. That had to have been horrible for him too!! Thank goodness you were there!!!

Oh, I agree....tell dad that boning the other woman isn't cool....toss the viagra, or tell him to take care of it himself....don't care if mom is 68 or 38....once a week is more than alot of men get it!!! (sorry you're going through that hassle )

hope the rest of your weekend....and next week is calm for you!

[traceycooper]

wow Beth that must have been awfull!!
It was a blessing that you were around & knew what to do!
Are you ok? i think i would be in shock!!
Hope the little boy makes a full recovery.

 

[toystoryduo]

Oh Beth,

That must have been awful for you. I am so thankful that you were there to help that poor, little boy. You were his angel that day. I hope his mother wakes up and gets a clue in life before something worse happens. You don't let your 3 year old child go out into the street and then try to excuse it by saying you were watching football. Thank God you were there, Beth. We'll be praying for him.

I hope you were able to have a restful couple of days.

Have a good week!

 

[postesf]

OMG!!!! What a horrible thing to witness! I cannot believe that! It is wonderful that you were there and able to help him! Poor thing!

Other than this, hope all is well with you! Glad to hear you say you are not sweating the 3lb gain! You've been through quite a bit in the last few weeks!

Take care,
Stacie

Hi guys,

I keep repeating this, but I am sorry that I haven't made it to journals. I worked yesterday, and was up until 2am getting things together for Kate's school Halloween party. You know me, I'm the party mom. I helped out with a fundraiser delivery in the Am, then the paryt in the pm. I threw together some sauce, bruschetta, and salads for dinner tonight. Now we are off to dance. I work the rest of the week. Tonight I am going to bed asap. I can feel a headache starting, so I know I am desperate for sleep. Hope all is well with you guys.

Oh I went back to WW. 2.8 of the 3 are gone.

Take care,
Beth

 

[traceycooper]

[AmyBeth68]

Congrats on the weight loss Beth!

Wow...that is an unbelievable thing that happened to you this weekend!!! Seems that they should recognize your quick thinking. If you end up in the newspaper you need to link us all to the story!!!

 

[toystoryduo]

Congrats on the weight loss, Beth!

It sounds like you have been super busy. I hope you get a chance for some rest and relaxation soon.

Have a great Wednesday!
