Biggest Loser Princess and Tinker Bell 2011 and 2012 -- OLD please see NEW thread

[Worfiedoodles]

Oh, Kathy! -- I am so sorry! It is absolutely heartbreaking to lose a member of the family. I wish I had some good platitudes. Just know that we love you, and we are thinking of you and Michael and hoping you will have some peace. And it is good that he wasn't in pain. Do not second guess yourself. It is so easy to do when we lose a pet - but really, you did what felt best, and that is the best you can do. It sounds like it was his time, and you made his passing as comfortable as possible. You did good, Mom. I know it's hard, but you are a wonderful mother, and Michael is lucky to have you to guide him through this.

We're here for whatever you need

Maria

 

[liesel]

Kathy I'm so sorry to hear this! I think you did great too, its good that he was at home and got lots of love. to you and Michael today, its amazing how we get so attached to our animal family members. Give Poko an extra hug today too for us.

 

[dumbo_buddy]

so sorry to hear the sad news kathy. poor michael and poor you. how old was he? don't think about what you didn't do or anything like that. you did the right thing. with guinea pigs you are right, once they exhibit issues there's not much to do. poor fredward. big hugs to you, michael, and poko.

 

[Rose&Mike]

Kathy--I am really sorry. Fredward was so cute.

we survived the tornadoes. It was pretty crazy around here today. Today might be the day I fall of the 100 days of movement challenge. I haven't decided yet. TMI--I am still having cramps (4 days now) and the whole thing is really gross if you get what I mean. Uck! It's sucking the life out of me. Poor Mike. I was a raving bwitch last night. I just couldn't help it. Well I guess I could, but I just lost it.

I still need to go back and do replies. I am off tomorrow, so planning on doing it then.

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

I only have a sec but wanted to say im so sorry about fredward. I hope u and michael are doing ok. He was such a cute guinea with a great name. Sending my love to you and michael kathy.

 

[mikamah]

Thank you all so much for the kind words, thoughts, and hugs. Fredward was 3 and a half. I went to work, and had composed myself, and when i walked into the nurses station, burst into tears with my news. They were all so good though, and Kerrie my charge nurse, who by the way did the WDW college program 20 years ago, gave michael a card with 2 movie tickets. Michael said he did ok in school and told his 2 best friends, but when he got to funclub got teary, so they had him draw a picture, and he drew a beautiful pic of freddie with all his favorite foods. Now if I could eat like freddie, I'd be at goal. My sister left a card here too, and she wrote "I'm sure grammy is going to enjoy him up in heaven. I think she always wanted a guinea pig." So cute, so we got a chuckle out of that.

Rose_OMg, tornadoes! How scary. It sounds like you could use a day of rest. And no guilt about it. 99 days out of 100 will still be fabulous. Hang in there.

Lindsay_Hope you enjoyed your massage last night, and your week is not too crazy.

LisaH-Thanks for the text this morning. I can't wait for a text when you are sporting that tink medal in 12 days!!!!!

Maria-You are ON girlfriend!! Keep up the great work, and it will rub off on all of us!!! That Tom is quite pretty, isn't he. I did enjoy the game and am looking forward to this weekends as well. Glad the work merger should work out for you. It is stressful, isn't it. Our merger with Lahey is still in the process, and we are pretty much in the same place as about a year ago with the docs, still trying to make an agreement with them. As a staff nurse, I think it will all be ok, but management I'm sure does not have the same confidence.

Nancy-Thanks, I know I did the right thing. I talked to 2 friends who had guinea pigs too, and one had gone to a vet and it was a teeth issue, and he died anyway, and the other had several, one she took to the vet, and again it did not make a difference. I think over all it was ok. Michael spend lots of time with freddy over the weekend, and last night before bed, he was pretty frisky while michael was holding him, so that was good.

LisaR-I think you should go for that drink right after the race in your race attire, if it's close by. I bet there will be lots of people there right after the race.

I"m off to watch bl. Rose_You're doing great coaching, and I'll catch up there tomorrow.

Have a great night!!

 

[dumbo_buddy]

wah, i have a cold, matthew keeps spitting out his pacifier and gets pissed, and thomas is in his crib calling for me and i KNOW he has a poop and i don't feel like changing it. (we need to start potty training but he has no desire to pee or poop anywhere other than in the comfort of his huggie) oh and the scale is being a royal pita a$$ this morning. jerk. oh and i have an actual pain in my a$$ that i can't seem to get rid off

what are your go-to remedies for colds? i wish i was one of those people who loses their appetite when i get sick. oh well.

ok, baby crying and toddler crying, must run. be back to complain, er, i mean, chat with everyone later!

Ah hon, I wish I was closer and could come over and change that poopy diaper for you and take those babys for a walk to see Usher so you could sit in a sitz bath and relax.
I'm not a big medicine person, but usually will use pseudophed when I'm wicked stuffy, and mucinex for chest congestion. Hang in there! These days will pass.

Good morning Princesses and Belles!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS LINDSAY!

Hope that you have a wonderful day and those boys treat you like the princess that you are!

Yep its about that time to worry now about the weather.

Thankfully we are having this whopper of a storm this week instead of next. I'm ready for a little warm weather and .

Plus, I peeked at the scale and it's already lower than last week Nowhere to go but down, you can bet I will be careful with my food this week

Everybody get psyched, this is going to be a great week!

I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready!

Congrats on the scale going down, Maria!

We're here for whatever you need

we survived the tornadoes. It was pretty crazy around here today. Today might be the day I fall of the 100 days of movement challenge. I haven't decided yet.

I'm so glad that you are all okay. Hope that hormonal stuff passes you by quickly. It really is hard to be your normal, cheerful self and do you regular stuff when your body is making you feel like a raving lunatic.

Tornados in January are as crazy as thunder snow!

My sister left a card here too, and she wrote "I'm sure grammy is going to enjoy him up in heaven. I think she always wanted a guinea pig." So cute, so we got a chuckle out of that.

I'm so sorry about Freddie. It was good for him to be at home where he was comfortable. He may have left a few little squeaks behind so don't be surprised.

I'll definately be texting and posting on FB when I am done with the Tink!

wah, i have a cold, matthew keeps spitting out his pacifier and gets pissed, and thomas is in his crib calling for me and i KNOW he has a poop and i don't feel like changing it. (we need to start potty training but he has no desire to pee or poop anywhere other than in the comfort of his huggie) oh and the scale is being a royal pita a$$ this morning. jerk. oh and i have an actual pain in my a$$ that i can't seem to get rid off

Aww, Nancy, hope you are feeling better soon. You have a tough job trying to keep all those guys happy -- some of whom are not always rational and calm. And to not feel good on top of it is the pits.

I'm sure you've already heard that potty training for boys can be a challenge. Don't let people pressure you into to starting before he is ready because it will just be a frustrating experience for all of you. You're not really in a position to drop everything and run to the toilet every few minutes right now with Matthew attached. I think the folks who tell you it was a snap and had their kids trained before age two have faulty memories.

Lisa, I think a drink at Trader Sam's after the race sounds lovely. It's good to keep moving after the race anyway!

Alas, it is time to get kid off to school -- second day of finals. The next big storm is supposed to arrive later today.

Have a great day!

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Lindsay -- Massive, Huge Wishes for a wonderful Birthday!

Nancy -- My mom came to stay with us for 3 weeks when Ben was about 27 months. She had him potty trained before I knew what was happening....hey, I'm sure your mom would love to take care of that for you! We had an incentive because he had to be trained before starting preschool, and he started at 32 months. I had been lamenting that I needed to get this going, and she just showed up and did it. It helps she basically raised her 11 younger brothers and sisters -- and most of those got trained to use the outhouse, because they didn't have indoor plumbing when she was young... Don't worry and don't rush it. If he's not interested it is not going to happen

Gotta run to a meeting, back later with more replies!

Maria

 

[Rose&Mike]

Nancy--Mike is going to run the Kentucky Derby Festival full at the end of April. I am going to do the 1/2. We had the gentle leader for our bigger dogs, but haven't tried it with Petie. He really doesn't like people touching his face. I think the key might be better training. I have been working on putting him in a sit stay and walking all over the house before I release him. Mike lets him get away with murder--that is the problem! Congrats to the Giants--my boys were a little bummed. I texted Tom and asked him if he was going to watch Once Upon a Time Sunday night and he told me he was too sad to watch it. I'm glad the kids did good with the sitter! Now you need to plan to do it more often! Why are doctors so clueless when it comes to weight. And why do they say such dumb things? I think their momma's didn't socialize them well! Colds stink! I take claritin. After the heart thing, my whole family avoids psuedophed. And drink hot water. Hope you are feeling better! Thanks for offering to pick me up at the airport!

Dona--how is the foot? did your DH hear about his biopsy?

Lindsay--Happy, Happy Birthday! I "sang" to you on the other thread, so I won't do it here! How is the tailbone. I fell off a slide once and it was so excruciating! Woohoo for a clean house! Did you get the massage?

Kathy and Maria--As long as there is booze, cheese sticks, eggs and fruit I am usually good to go. I told Mike that if it works out with parents weekend that I would like to go....and he was good with it. If you use gf beer then beergaritas should be gf!

Kathy--I think it's great that you got your medal back out! I was laughing about what you said about Lisa relocating to the Northeast! I think we should all relocate further south where it's warmer! How about atlanta everyone???? They have baseball, football, a major airport and are withing driving distance of the beach and WDW! I bet your Mom is enjoying Fredward.

Lisah--I did 2:1 on the treadmill. And Monday 3:1. I probably should be doing 1:1, but it is driving me a little crazy! I really miss just running 4 miles. I hope to be back to that by the summer. My new shoes are just the pink form of the Ghost 4 that I have been running in. I went to a different running store, since I knew that I needed to be in neutral shoes. Two girls helped me and both have had multiple injuries so we shared war stories for a while. I bought a pair of over the counter inserts as a back up arch support for if my custom ones get wet. My custom inserts have a small piece of rubber on them to help with the suppination, so they said even though it's small, I might really miss it if it isn't there. I'm glad you are feeling more positive! Less than two weeks! When do you leave???? I hope you don't get too much snow!

Maria--I am going to try to come up with somewhere for us to eat Friday night today! I'll let you know what's available! I have been having kefir smoothies for breakfast. I mix fat free plain kefir with frozen fruit and a few nuts. YUM! High in protein and probiotics. I hope the merger goes ok! Are you still enjoying the snow?

Liesel--How are you??? How is the tendon? I hope I wasn't driving you crazy with all those stretches. I am so glad the run went well. Are you getting excited??? Vanilla ice cream---seriously??? That is pretty boring!

*****
I'm sure I missed something, but I feel somewhat caught up!

There are already 5 confirmed tornadoes in the area from yesterday. I think they are looking at a couple of other areas. One was 2 miles up the road from my house. I am really glad I was at work! My boss lives very near there--haven't talked to her yet today to see if they had damage. Mike drove by that area on the way home and there were trees down all over the place and it looked like a tornado went through. Lovely!

I am feeling much more human today. I had a half a beer last night (gf of course) and then walked for 30 minutes on the treadmill. So still in the 100 day challenge!

My foot is doing really well. I ran 3.1 on Monday and did the strength on my ankle. We ran outside Monday and it was cold and raining! Yuck! But it was nice to be outside. I can feel the p-f scar tissue, but it's not painful. And my ankle is a tiny bit sore, but not swollen. I kind of wish I was still having ultrasound on the ankle, but not enough to go back to pt!

My weight is up 2 pounds! Uggh! I am still hoping to pull off a maintain this week, but it's not looking good! Do you think it could be all the CRAP I ate the last 5 days????? I did eat healthy stuff too, but way too much junk!

Ok, I will talk to you all later!

Can you believe we are supposed to get snow tomorrow! Tornadoes and snow in the same week! Crazy!

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

Kathy- Glad everyone is doing better today. I posted to you on donald too but just want to say again how amazing you are for what you do for michael. You are a great mom.

Nancy- Ryan wasnt potty trained until close to 3 and that was only pee. Poop was close to 3 1/2. That darn kid would hold it until nap time when we would put a pull up on him. Then he would poop. The one day he decided he would try to change himself and rub poop all over his room. That was fun. Moral of the story is boys are slow with this but they will get there on their own timeline. I hope your feeling ok. I am not a medicine person but mike often uses musinex and says it really helps. I used affrin once and after 2 wks had to go to rehab for it. boy it works wonders but it also becomes addicting too. Loved Loved Loved the run disney jacket John got you.

Maria- Im so glad you are doing good this week. It will be a great week for you I can feel it.

Hi Lisa's- How is the tink training coming. Almost there in that sunny weather.

Rose- Gosh that is so scary with all those tornados being so close to you. Glad you are safe and the house is ok too. Wow and now snow. This weather is crazy anymore.
Great job on the 100 day challenge. GF Beer is like the new gatorade right?

**********************************************************

Thank you all for the wonderful happy birthday wishes today. It was an ordinary day in my neck of the woods. You know work, make dinner, homework, gym, and now dis.

I think everyone knew it was my birthday tonight because I had the whole track at the gym to myself. I was in heaven. Well it also could be the new years resolutions for some are wearing off.

My tailbone is still killing me but I am able to do zumba and run. It is very painful when I bend down to touch my toes or squat. I sit very slowly and lean forward when I am sitting. I think its going to take a while for this to clear up. I am still annoyed at myself for being such a clutz.

Good news on the school front for ryan. he told me tonight that he passed a reading test and no longer has to go to his special reading class. It would have been nice to get a note home explaining it but I am believing his story because he hasnt brought the books home. I am happy at the progress he is making.

Ok well I am off to bed. Another busy day tomorrow at work. Talk to you soon.

aw, that is so sweet of your coworker and sister who sent cards. i'm sure fredward is in furball heaven chomping on a big carrot right now. how is michael holding up? losing a pet is SO hard!

Rose_OMg, tornadoes! How scary. It sounds like you could use a day of rest. And no guilt about it. 99 days out of 100 will still be fabulous. Hang in there.

scary is right! i think we've had one tornado warning ever up here and everyone freaked! hope they continue to stay away!

LisaH-Thanks for the text this morning. I can't wait for a text when you are sporting that tink medal in 12 days!!!!!

jealous!


Have a great night!!

how is biggest loser without jillian? i haven't watched in a few seasons.

Ah hon, I wish I was closer and could come over and change that poopy diaper for you and take those babys for a walk to see Usher so you could sit in a sitz bath and relax.
I'm not a big medicine person, but usually will use pseudophed when I'm wicked stuffy, and mucinex for chest congestion. Hang in there! These days will pass.

sitz bath. i need to do that. my mom keeps saying "oh just sit in the tub" - yeah, ok. like that's easy!!!

i've been trying to stay away from the meds but i did take nyquil the night before last. mostly because i just needed to sleep. i have read the sudafed cant cause your milk to dry up. not that i couldn't do with a little drying up - i'm pretty sure i could feed most of the bronx with b@@bs! ew! thanks for offering to change thomas's diaper. now THAT is the definition of a true friend!!! his diapers are scary!

i miss usher. i haven't seen him in a week. hoping i'll see him later today too! my babysitter isn't coming today but i'm hoping my friend's daughter will

Good morning Princesses and Belles!



Thankfully we are having this whopper of a storm this week instead of next. I'm ready for a little warm weather and

it's getting so close now! hope that storm isn't too bad. i've been following it!


I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready!

WOOT WOOT WOOT!!

I'll definately be texting and posting on FB when I am done with the Tink!

sooooo can't wait to follow you and lisaR along your tinkerjourney!


Aww, Nancy, hope you are feeling better soon. You have a tough job trying to keep all those guys happy -- some of whom are not always rational and calm. And to not feel good on top of it is the pits.

thanks, i'm feeling much better today and as the day went on yesterday i was feeling better. you know how you always feel sicker in the morning? that's right when i was doing my e-complaining. i should have waited a few hours and i wouldn't have felt so sick!

I'm sure you've already heard that potty training for boys can be a challenge. Don't let people pressure you into to starting before he is ready because it will just be a frustrating experience for all of you. You're not really in a position to drop everything and run to the toilet every few minutes right now with Matthew attached. I think the folks who tell you it was a snap and had their kids trained before age two have faulty memories.

we brought out a CARS potty and have offered to let him sit on it. he sat on it for me and just giggled and kept "flushing" it b/c it makes a car sound. ha. yesterday he sat on it before his bath with john and john said he farted while sitting on it and john made a big deal about it.

Alas, it is time to get kid off to school -- second day of finals. The next big storm is supposed to arrive later today.

Have a great day!

wait...finals??

Maria

ok, i'll just have your mom, the potty-whisperer, come stay with us!

it'll happen. we're not going crazy about it. just offering to let him sit on the pot if he wants. we aren't too into it right now anyway. of course, we're always thinking about disney (duh) and think that it might be easier to just have thomas still in diapers when we go in may and then train him over the summer. we have til september. he has to potty train by then when he starts a 3 year old program at this little pre-school. nope, not sending him to the catholic school in september too expensive and there are FORTY kids in the pre-k (3 and 4 year olds!)

Nancy--Mike is going to run the Kentucky Derby Festival full at the end of April. I am going to do the 1/2. We had the gentle leader for our bigger dogs, but haven't tried it with Petie.

wow the full! go mike! poor tom, i feel his pain - when my teams lose (which they usually do - i'm a met fan, lol!) i'm usually pretty bummed for the rest of the day at least.

i hope the wicked half works out!

Dona--how is the foot? did your DH hear about his biopsy?

yes, i was just wondering the same thing dona! how's DH?

glad you're feeling better. bummer about the 2 pounds. i hate that! this whole challenge i've been so sure that i'll be down and i keep going up! it's so frustrating.

it's too bad you can't go JUST for u/s without the rest of the PT stuff. i always thought it worked for my back.

Thank you all for the wonderful happy birthday wishes today. It was an ordinary day in my neck of the woods. You know work, make dinner, homework, gym, and now dis.

I think everyone knew it was my birthday tonight because I had the whole track at the gym to myself. I was in heaven. Well it also could be the new years resolutions for some are wearing off.

i'm glad you had a nice birthday! and the track to your own? woot!!

thanks for the kind words about potty training! i'm sure i'll be complaining to you as we go through this! luck you!

*********************

well, i'm out of time! hi lisaR how are you feeling??

mommy and me today and that's about it. trying to see if i can have my friend's daughter come over so i can go meet usher

a little celebration: i fed matthew at 9pm, went to the guest room to read a little and fell asleep around 10. a few minutes before 6am john got me up. he said, "he slept through to now, no formula. he's hungry now so i figured i'd get you." yep. 9-6! wow! i think the fact that i'm NOT in the room is helping because he doesn't smell me.

omg. thomas just said, "mommy! poo!" in his crib and as soon as he said that matthew just let out a big one in his diaper. lucky me! simultaneous pooping brothers! gotta go change them!!!

 

[mikamah]

Good morning princesses and Lisabelles!!

I believe the Tink countdown is down to single digits!!!!! How are our lisa's doing? Hope you're both in your zen/tink place, knowing full well you have done the work, and you are both going to be amazing!!

Lindsay-So glad you had a nice birthday yesterday. And how nice of them to clear the track for you for your birthday. Isn't is nice I can tell you are so on track, and so in the right frame of mind for success when you say you were in heaven on the track! Not in heaven with an ice cream sunday, but running the track on your birthday!! You go girl!!

LisaH-Funny you said that about the squeaks, I could have sworn I heard him squeaking yesterday. Hope the storms aren't too bad or maybe just bad enough you can't go to work. Do share more trip details. Remember this is my year without a disney trip, so I NEED to live vicariously through all yours.

Rose-You are doing a great job coaching this week. It's still so busy over there, it's great to see the motivation, but it is moving a little too fast for me to keep up. Drink that water and hopefully you'll flush those 2 pounds away by the end of the week. I weigh on fri or sat, if I don't like friday, I'll do saturday. I'm with you on the junk this week. We can kick it. Oh, and nice job getting your 30 min in.

Maria-Are you ready for the big game? And the snow? At least the snow appears to be well timed for work, not so much for the game. Oh well, it won't be snowing in my house. How sweet of your mom to come and train Ben.

Nancy-On the potty training, I'm of the wait til their ready club. Michael was just over 3, as was 2 of my nephews. One nephew woke up one day probably a month after his 3rd b-day and said " I want to wear big boy pants" And he never had an accident! He's still a good boy at 21. It's tough when you need them trained for preschool. I like your idea wait til after disney in may and then deal with it in the summer, when it's not so cold, and there are less clothes to change too. Heres a hug for the matching poo. Oh, and I looove your new jacket!! So sweet. Made me go looking online, I'd love a new jacket too, but am too cheap right now. Maybe for my birthday.

LisaR -Hope all is well with you in taperland!

Pamela-Thanks for the good wishes and hugs. We are doing much better now, and very happy we have Poko to keep us occupied.

We had a little funeral for Freddie yesterday and burried him in the yard. It was sweet. We are going to make a garden stone and put it over him. Michael wondered what would happen if we ever moved. I reassured him we'd be here for a very long time, and not to worry about it now.

I ran a bit yesterday and when I was barefoot last night, my foot started hurting. That happened before, and I know I just can't be barefoot. It's fine in my running shoes or danskos. Poko is at daycare, so today we just did a short walk. Tonight we'll either walk or I'll do some wii dance for my 30 min. That 100 day challenge is really good to keep me moving. And a little competition. If rose didn't give in and skip a day, I certainly can't either.

Thanks again everyone for all the lovely comments, love and support. I don't know what I would do without all of you.

mommy and me today and that's about it. trying to see if i can have my friend's daughter come over so i can go meet usher

Congrats Nancy on the good night sleep. I hope it keeps up.

The bit with the poop made me chuckle. You are a lucky one. Just what every mother wanted DOUBLE POOP.

My foot seems to be okay as long as I wear just plain flat shoes. The walking shoes that I bought in Oct bother my foot.

Dh won't get the results from his biopsy until Monday.We shall see what happens.

Just wanted to stop in and say hello.

Nancy oh my gosh I was cracking up at the double pooping brothers. I know it was funny for us but not you. Thanks for giving us a laugh though. I hope you were able to meet usher today. Did you wear your new jacket?

Kathy- I loved your response about the 100 day challenge. It is quite motivating when others are doing it to. I missed the memo but will just cheer you all on from the sidelines. GO GO GO

Dona- I hope everything is good with dh's test.

Hi to all my other princess and tinkerbelles too!

I am a bit blah tonight and am going to go lay down and cuddle with nick. We are going to watch a movie while mike and Ryan are at bball practice. Hopefully that makes me feel better.

Tomorrow is weigh in day and I hope its a good number. It was coming down all week but for some reason I feel bloated today. I drank like 100 oz of water so not sure whats going on.

Goodnight.

It took me a minute, I'm thinking did Lindsay have something funny happen because she had PMS on her birthday. I'll pm you, but you can miss my actual birthday this year because you will be romping all over disney world the day before the princess!! I will be dreaming about being with you on that day. Gotta get those lottery tickets.

OK Lisabelles!!! What will you be doing one week from right now!!!!????? Inquiring minds need to know!!!

Hi Dona. fingers crossed for ds's results.

Lindsay-Hope the scale is good to you today. I have not been eating well, and the scale has been down a little, so I figure today it will show my real punishment. Maybe I'll use yesterdays weight, or just get my a$$ in gear for real today.

Rose_Thank you for getting me through my 30 min yesterday. Poko did day care, so she didn't need the exercise, but I made her go any way, thanks to the 100 day challenge. I thought of you several times and kept on going.

Nancy- Was looking for a poop hug, but couldn't find one. Those days can be exhausting. Hope today is better and you get some me time this weekend.

Off to walk poko. Have a great day!!

LISAH ok can we talk about your injury (that's not really an injury, just a scary thing pre-race...that's what i'm sticking to). what happened? seriously though, are you in alot of pain? ribs are a toughie. hopefully the x-rays show that it's nothing and they can give you some good drugs! how frustrating! sounds like just another reason for you to move east (you know, so you're closer to all of us!) well, you'll have to move to florida to avoid the snow but i bet that would work out swimmingly! i hope you feel better. what time is your appointment? will the doctor take you right away or are you going to an urgent care place?

lindsay if you don't laugh at the poop, you'll just cry. like, alot. what movie did you watch with nick? how is ryan liking basketball? i hope you're feeling less blah today. bloat - could it be pms? ah, the good stuff. not.

kathy thanks for the potty training advice. you're right, we just aren't going to push it. my friend didn't bother trying til her kids were 3 when they seemed to want to try it themselves. and it wasn't a very stressful thing for them. we have the potty sitting in the bathroom but definitely think waiting til after our trip is the way to go.

maria my bday's 10/4. did you know that 10/5 is the most popular birthday in the u.s.? why?? new years. oh but my parents weren't married til 1/26? yep, honeymoon baby...i was born 3 weeks early. i am the ONLY person who can actually say their parents only did "it" one time. on their wedding night. and then there was me. lol!!

lisaR helloooo!!!! how are you hanging in with just days til the tink? when are you flying down? how long are you staying?

rose how's the foot? did you get out for a run yesterday? what about the tornadoes? are they gone??

**************
good morning gals!

dr. oz is telling me on the today show how being exhausted and tired makes me crave carbs. duh.

speaking of doctors, my endocrinologist is being a huge PITA. i haven't seen him in forever but he doesn't actually DO anything. just blah blah blahs forever after making me wait over an hour to see him and then writes my prescription for metformin. i tried to just have the pharmacy call him to get it refilled and he denied it because i haven't been there! i'm so annoyed - i don't want to go there and get on the scale and hear him tell me exactly how much weight i need to lose. i know dude. i know. i don't want to hear about how hard it is to lose weight because of the pcos and all that crap. I KNOW! wah! i think i'm going to call him and just talk to him about it. explain that i don't have the $275 to go down there and pay for parking and a sitter just to get a prescription! it's not like i need a painkiller or something!

anywho, i got my friend's daughter and her friend to come watch the kiddos so i could run. didn't see usher though. oh well. i did see all the cadets walking around so that was nice. kept me from slowing down - you know, have to keep up appearances! i ran 3.2 miles without stopping. took me 37 minutes though but i'll take it. i felt awesome after it was over. the cold air was so invigorating! my running gear is SO tight on me. i had flab pouring out of every area possible. i miss my semi-flat stomach. but i ran and that was great. i wore my new rundisney jacket too! it's awesome. it is a size large and it is definitely small on me. i don't even think it's because i'm all that big, i think the sizing is just crazy!

nothing planned for today. hate these days. maybe a trip to stew leonards. might be a nightmare with the two kids though. hmm.....

xoxo
