DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 2

[Dizneydawn]

So just talked to my Director with Tupperware. She is the right hand side of the Tupper Gods and she has some pull. We should be really close to our goal but close is not enough. If I have the sales but are still short the recruits...they will give me 1 eextra month to help the recruits qualify. The sales I need are not-negotiable so it will still be way close but not as close as if I needed both. I can sell to every nurse, wheel chair attendent and comatosed Pappy in the hospital. I sold $500 on the last day o f the month in October for my New York trip I earned. (Both DS's broke arm/elbow on same day!) I am not a quitter. Any help you can give would be so appreciated. You can P.M. Grumpy, Bee or myself if you have any need for Plastic in your homes! I am so grateful to you all for the prayers and the kind words. I feel calmer (although that also may be the Demerol pills I took 1 hour ago!)

 

[Bee]

Bee~ I'm so glad you like your job!

Thank you Pixie! Ya know I was home for 7 months.. My life is changing so much and I am discovering just how strong I can be, when I need to be.

You are a terrific person as well!





P.S. Hello to all of my other Peeps.

Oh and Grumpy wont be changing his name cause he is still younger than his wife!

 

[grumpyyoungguy]

Happy early birthday Grumpy! Wow 38!! Do you have to change your screen name to Grumpyoldguy now?

Hey Grumpy this is Jo from Minnesota and I want to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I wish I was 38 again.

So now I am going to put this stupid computer through the window. I have been trying to send this since 8 pm. Now I will try and make it brief because the anger I am feeling at this computer is enough to heave me off the roof.

Dr results worse than I could want.

Red Cells in Urine and tons of blood. This means cysts and stones not a normal infection. This is the worst because my kidneys do not function well and this can put me on a renal failure spin in a hurry.

I go in tomm. for spiral Ct's and MRI's. Then on to talk w/ surgeon. Not good because they do not know if my right kidney can handle an additional surgery.

To top my life...Tupperware has a 6 month goal I am working on and this is the last 2 weeks of the 6th month. No 2nd chances and I am sick to my stomach for my team.

I honestly feel so much hatred towards my body right now. I am sick of being sick. I have lost 7 pounds in 1 week and that is not good because my body is shutting down.

I am sorry for venting. I was much more eloquent in the first 3 versions.
I jsut love my Kids and hate leaving them. I have missed out on almost 3 years of their lives since all this started in 1990 and I am tired of missing the smell of their hair and the way they look all groggy when they stumble out of bed. I just want to be normal for a whole year and not have my body screw up our finances, our goals and our lives.

Please pray for my family...and me.

You are sooooo in my thoughts and prayers!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!​

Still on page 476! With all this snow and so many of your being stuck at home - you are talking ALOT! I may have to catch up tomorrow. I did go to PT today and I really liked her. She was not as dire as my Dr. Once I do exercises and build up the ligaments around those joints, I should be fine. I will always have to be careful about doing certain things (No more Summit Plummet or moving furniture down 2 flights of stairs!) But it should get much better. So today was a better day. Thanks for all the prayer and encouragement.

Hope everyone is staying cozy.
Does anyone else do this? I went to a baby shower after work today (at work) and I was really good. I ate a lot of salad and 2 bites of cake. Got home and didn't want any more dinner. Took DD to the store to get some stuff for Valentine's Day. Bought a bag of choc. hearts for my kinder teacher peeps and had to test one when I got home. It was good, so I "tested" another. At this point I was definitely out of points, but hit the Dryer's Grand Light anyway! Why? I guess I'm still better off than if I had eaten a whole piece of cake, but why could I control myself at the party, only to shoot myself in the foot when I got home?
I feel like my resolve is slipping. My ear finally has stopped hurting (after 2 weeks), so I'm jumping in with the 30 minute exercise challenge (if I say it, I'll do it).
Happy Valentine's Day! Let's feast on love and friendship instead of chocolate!

Yes, I did the same today!

Stacey....I don't know what happened at work yesterday but don't let it get you down. I have known from the very minute I started reading your posts that you are a high-energy, God-fearing woman with a heart for Christian service. DO NOT let anyone make you feel bad about being sick!!! I suspect that you have been taking up the slack around your church and some people may resent the fact that you can't do that right now. The pain in your hip is invisible to others but God knows it there and He knows how bad you feel. That's all that's important. Don't overdo it because the world thinks you should.

Thanks Melinda. You pegged it pretty good. Much of it is in my head I am sure. I did go to the person that hurt my feelings and talked it out - I should have done that immediately rather than chew on it all day. I know better.

Happy Valentine's Day Peeps!​

Now more serious matters. I really need your support. I just made the appt to get my wisdom teeth yanked on Friday. I feel better knowing that it will be taken care of. But I'm also very very nervouse about it. I will be having IV sedation and I think I'm gonna be asleep if not pretty darn near close. I'm very scared about it.

But I can't chat anymore. Have to get ready to go to school.

I had one of mine yanked when I was pregnant - so I just got a local anisthetic that did not work well. Not pleasant! But the recovery was not bad, I went out of town the next day. So you will be out during the procedure and then you will have good drugs! It will be over before you know it! Then you won't have anymore pain!

Hello Peeps -

I am off to shower and head to St. Paul to a restaurant/Bakery called Cupcake.

I have heard so many awesome things about this place and thought it would be fun to get some special cupcakes for the kids for Valentines day. They have Smores. Red Velvet, Carrot Cake, Mocha etc. cupcakes and one w/ Chili Powder in it that they call "Burning Love".

My idea is to get each person a special one in our family. That will be their Valentine treat. It will also prevent me form eating the other 15 cupcakes if I would make them! I want my family to enjoy food...all food but eat in moderation and know that "treats" are just that...a treat. It is not part of the 5 food groups! (Not that I would complain if somehow choclate frosting became healthy!)

I saw the owner on our local morning TV talk show and he said something that will stick with me forever.

"Life needs more frosting"

So simple yet so eloquent. We need that "Frosting" in our lives to make us whole and make us know we are worth it and others as well.

So challenge yourself to get some more frosting in your lives.

Massages, walks, time alone, reading, candles, bubble baths, moonlit conversations, cuddle time, dinner as a family, flowers, the smell of clean sheets etc..etc..

Without all those "Frostings" we would just have life that was dry and plain. Like a cake w/ no FROSTING!!!!

If you don't have any frosting in your life this Valentines day...go make some of your own and enjoy the taste!

Great advice Dawn!!!

 

[S.Poppins]

Dawn, I just scrolled up and saw your post on Princess Lynda's post. I am so sorry that you are going through this. I will agree with you in prayer. I pray that all the tests you receive tomorrow are better than the report you have received. Something that has helped me has been praying the scriptures that deal with healing. I don't know if you know Joel Osteen (he has a large church in Texas and he is on TV). His mother had cancer with a dire diagnosis. She eventually decided to fight it by praying the scriptures. She has been cancer free for years. I know that healing is in God's hands. But I believe in prayer. I will be praying those scriptures over you also! And I will pray for your family.

 

[MaMabearJo]

Is anyone up?

 

[MaMabearJo]

I would like to put my family pictures up and am not sure how is there anyone out there that can help.

 

[Dizneydawn]

Good night - everyone. Sweet Dreams

 

[Minnie_Moo]

I would like to put my family pictures up and am not sure how is there anyone out there that can help.

Jo - The best way to post pics is to get a free photobucket.com or similar account, upload your photo(s) there and copy and paste the code to post your pic(s) in your signature.

You will need to make sure any photos meet the size guidelines (posted in the sticky at the top of the WISH thread, must be <50kb). If they're not the correct size, you can re-size them in photobucket or other re-sizing sites on the web. They're easy to find through Google.

Good luck!

Here's what wikipedia says about bio break..............

Internet slang Biology break", also known as going to the bathroom. Typically someone will type "brb bio", meaning "be right back, taking a bathroom break"

Maybe it's one of those things the youngsters are saying!

I know why we have never heard this, only people who spend ALOT of time on the internet say this.... That is not us!

Finally caught up! Now I can go to bed! Lost was great tonight - but I am so confused!!! Any other Lost addicts?

 

[winkers]

Good evening everyone. Hope all are having a wonderful heart day...Well wish me luck that I dont depression eat tomorrow....

What's going on tomorrow that would make you depression eat?

 

[Bee]

Oops! I took this literally. We had cookies w/strawberry frosting today, and I ate 2 of them. But I did talk to my students about the fact that we had cookies and cupcakes today (I skipped the cupcakes) but that it was only because today is a special day, and we don't eat like that everyday. I also encouraged the kids to throw out what was left when they were full. Is half a cupcake in the trash anymore of a waste than a whole cupcake in an overfull tummy?

Peyton(DS9) gave me two Reeses cups and told me he loved me.He has traded all of his candy at school for these because he knows they are my favorite. Every smushed bite was delicious.

That is adorable.

OH! Almost forgot to post the challenge today!
UM, can you do 30 minutes??? Doesn't have to be all at once. Come on, I know you can!
Who else can do it???

I did it. first day back on the exercise bike since the ear infection (2 weeks). After 10 minutes, I was dying, but I kept telling myself 2 more minutes until I made it through the whole 30 minutes.

A quick question, my Sister deals alot with the US and keeps being told we're going on a bio break is this a posh term for toilet or something?

We use this on our retreats. "Take a biological break." It means potty, or a drink of water, or something to eat, or stretch your hiney(sp.?) muscles after sitting for hours.

Just popping in to say a quick Hi. Life has been crazy this week...first a sick kiddo, then she gave it to me too. I still have it (HORRIBLE cough and congestion, fever, chills) and NOW she has pink eye. I just love it. I just want a do-over of my week...and it is only weds!! Thanksfully my DH never catches any of the stuff we seem to have so he is still healthy enough to help us when he is not atwork, which seems like never. Ugh.

Having a rough food week too. On the up side I have not had a very big appetite. On the down side, I love me some chocolate and it seems to have medicinal properties

Hope you feel better soon. It's sooo good when the sick goes away.

Happy Vanlentine's Day All!!!!! Just would not be me without a TYPO!

Glad you have a sense of humor about it. You put a smile on my face.

as of 9:06 tomorrow morning I will be 38 years old

You're just a young pup! Have a great birthday!

Girls did great! Work is great!

Hurray!

You and your family are in my prayers. I am so sorry for the cross you have to bear, but remember you are not alone. Your kids are lucky to have you and are growing into more compassionate, capable people because of their love for you (How do I know? Because DH has cerebral palsy, and has suffered through many setbacks and dramas during our children's lifetimes, and our kids are the sweetest, most compassionate young adults I know, and I think a lot of that is because they have always known that love is about giving and doing as much as receiving). OK, sermon's over. I hope things improve soon, and that you can hang onto your lovely sense of humor in the midst of this.

Love you all. Take care.

Firstly......

Happy Birthday Grumpyyoungguy​

Remeber you're only as old as you feel!

Here's what wikipedia says about bio break..............

Maybe it's one of those things the youngsters are saying!

Jo, I am familiar with and use the "bio break" term. During my meetings with a particular company (which I met with ALL DAY today and tomorrow), we have bio breaks. It is easier to call for a bio break than a bathroom break in mixed company!!! It may be a regional term I hadn't heard it before we started having someone from Minnesota in our meetings. Or maybe it is a corporate culture thing.

Thanks guys, I knew I could rely on my peeps to know the answer!

Here's the e-card he sent me at work, if you're ready for a laugh. http://www.care2.com/ecards/p/9044-1230-15080-5711

Happy Vanlentine's Day All!!!!! Just would not be me without a TYPO!

Too true we would miss them!
