Good morning DDA!
I've been really trying to get re-started with WW and watching what I eat. When we were at Great Wolf Lodge, I didn't have a lot of choices, so I ate a lot of fruit. Well, now I have a huge ulcer on my tongue, the most painful one I've ever had, and I have that event tonight. UGGHHH. I have the worst timing. At least I'm starting to feel like I'm doing a little better on losing the weight/watching what I eat.
Sending PD out to everyone who needs it.
I hope the sore in your mouth heals quickly!
I am TRYING to eat sensibly this week. I had lost 2 pounds, gained back 2.5, now I am back down to about .5 less than I was when I started. Not terribly encouraging. There used to be a commercial where the woman said "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels." I keep telling myself that.
Anyone seen this article:
Children's Place to curtail Disney stores
Retailer is in 'advanced' talks with the Walt Disney Co. to take back many Disney stores.
The line that I find funny is...
"Disney confirmed it is in talks with the company, saying the stores could be an important expansion of the Disney brand."
Ummm, wasn't it
already an expansion of the "Disney brand"
before they sold the stores the first time? Is it really an "expansion" to take back something that was once yours already?
I saw an article awhile back that Disney had already warned Children's Place that they were violating the licensing agreement by failing to maintain the stores properly. I haven't read this article yet, but it seems logical that they would be getting ready to resume ownership.
Good Morning DDA,
My doctor's visit went well yesterday, my liver enzymes are back to normal. She has actually reduced my BG medicine, as my numbers have been within the target range. She started me on a new medicine for my arthitis and has given me something for the stomach issues, she feels like they me be a combination of meds and the change in eating habits, so we'll see.
She was very pleased with the weight loss, now all I have to do is stay with it, all I can promise is to take it one day at a time.
Best wishes to all of those here who are trying to eat well and lose, it's a struggle that's for sure. Another thing is it's expensive to buy healthy foods, and I think they only charge more because they can.
The AC man is coming today, hopefully it won't cost me a Disney trip
I've got to get the eggs boiled for tomorrow, we're taking Brandon to see Horton, and then we're coming home to dye eggs. We've been dying them together since before he was 2. DD is late and thinks she may be pregnant, my dad asked at lunch yesterday what would we do with another one, and Brandon had this sad look on his face and said "If you get another one you'll forget all about me", he's definitely going to have jealousy issues if it's true.
Have a great day everyone
Debbie, I am glad you are doing well!!
Have fun doing Easter eggs! Princess and I need to do that, but she has just not felt up to it this week!
Poor Brandon!
I always feel bad for the older sibling when a new baby comes. I know they get over it, but I still feel bad for them. Whichever way things go, I hope that it works out!
So everyone knows the struggles Terra has with Chase, right? Still working on Terra not gently pushing Chase out of the toyroom and other little things like that (at least she's gotten more gentle). Well, Aiden, my cousin's 3yo boy, pushed Chase away from his toy yesterday and she fell (lightly) and was crying. Terra got this totally freaked out look on her face and said almost crying, "Aiden pushed Chase". I looked at her kind of shocked thinking, "who are you to talk." She then said very quickly and earnestly, "I'm going to be much nicer to Chase now" and ran over to hug her. Not sure what happened there, but maybe it's a turning point? The whole thing was kind of surreal.
Good luck!
Elin & Bernadette- I'm sorry to hear you don't exist
Vicki- I hope this Easter will bring you lots of joy, even if it isn't your normal celebration.
Kristine- Where did you order that Bark gadget from?
Elizabeth- I wish I had a burglar alarm. I don't think the parents were home and I guess the kids didn't care that the dogs were barking for hours on end.
Heidi- Your future trip sounds wonderful!
Yep. All of that!
Sorry you don't have a burglar alarm.
Maybe you can get the bark-stopper.
I didn't check my email last night so I had a shocker this morning. Apparently a man in a hooded sweatshirt has been trying to break into homes in our neighborhood
At times when people are home. Apparently someone came home yesterday to find him in their garage. He fled. That is pretty scarey. I guess I need to go out and lock the shop and camper
Colby and I are both feeling a bit under the weather today. We both have colds. He's got a little cough and I've got a sore throat. Hopefully the dimetap will help him and the sudafed with help me. I do NOT have time to be sick now.
SEE why I didn't go outside to check out the alarm?
Be careful!
I hope you and Colby feel better soon!
Ditto from me!
I think I would take a job at TDS just to be a CM!
The CMs at my
Disney Store have asked me to apply for PT or seasonal, but there are certain days I would be required to work and some of them are days I am with Princess. I was just talking to one of the mgrs. last week and he was telling me what the benefits USED to be vs. what they are now. HUGE difference. Our store was also slated for remodel, but I haven't heard anything else about it.
With Macy's closing they were supposed to be able to get out of their lease, so I don't know if they are looking at that or just waiting to see what else happens.
I was getting ready to put my application in at our Disney Store, and then they closed it! I miss it so much.
Hi, all! No school today! I have a massive headache, and I'm waiting for the ibuprofen to work so that I can go get a few things done.
We are heading to my parents' house tomorrow, so I need to do laundry and pack.
Happy first day of Spring! I wish that it felt more like it. We have snowflakes dancing around out there.
Hi, Beth! Headache, be gone!
I love all the ideas, too. I think I stink as a parent, but my kids are turning out terrific, so I guess I'm doing something right.
You are a good mom, Beth!
Of course your kids are turning out terrific!
Yippee! The jackhammers are going already!
The neighbor told Dadboss it would only be ONE DAY of jackhammering. If I am not mistaken, YESTERDAY was a day!
Princess is coughing her head off and she is still feverish but we are going out today. We have to go to Target and I have to get shoes for DS to wear for band.
DS has the orthodontist this afternoon. We only have TWO more payments on his braces.
I hope they give us an indication of when the braces can come off. He has been really lax about keeping the rubber bands on so I have a feeling that will prolong his treatment.
We had so much fun, it was probably our favorite Disney experience of all time 
for a great checkup! I agree it is more expensive to eat healthy but I guess in the long run it is much better for us. We've been trying to eliminate certain things from our diet and it's a task but we all feel better.
