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

[dwheatl]

Danielle and WOW!! Truly you had to take deep breaths to get thru the day!! And you did!! When life throws you those curve balls, dont forget to drink EXTRA water, it will help flush out some of the unhealthy choices!!

THOSE PESKY MOTHS are bugging me too!! How insane is this!!

Ewww.... Yuck! I hate it when that happens!! I got them in my pantry last summer. I don't know why those stupid flour moths are so much worse in the summer, but they def are. I've gone to storing flour, rice, etc. in glass or metal containers to keep them at bay. Also, if you had lots of $$ invested in something and don't want to throw it away there are ways to kill the critters and keep the flour/food. I don't know that I could eat something that I knew bugs were crawling through, but I'm just saying... Good luck!!

So guess what? (No, not chicken butt!) We went out to lunch w/MIL today at a relatively fancy place near Santa Cruz, and there was another flipping CATERPILLAR in my salad! I didn't get too freaked out, but jeepers, what is going on around here?

Can I ask for some pixie dust and prayers? One of my cats is pretty sick. I took her to the vet today because she is just not acting like herself. They did a bunch of tests and just called me with 'the news'. Her kidney levels are off the charts in a bad way. She actually said the word renal failure but I sort of stopped hearing her at that point. My cats are like babies to me, so this is all really hard to take. She is almost 10 yrs old, and we have had her and her 2 brothers since they were 3 mos old.

We are doing some intensive fluids for her (I have to inject the poor thing once a day at home, and give her fluids from an IV bag If you knew how much needles freaked me out you would never believe I would be able to do it actually, but I will have to) along with 3 medicines. She has lost 3 pounds in the past few yrs, and she was only 8 pounds to start with.

If the fluids dont help her levels go in the right direction, and she doesnt start gaining weight she said we will have to talk about what is best for her. That broke my heart. I take her back in a week.

I'm wishing all the best for your kittikins. You are a brave mama to take such good care of her.

No gym tonight because DH is pooped out (too much fun last night) so I'll do Gilad's Body Sculpting tonight instead.

sending prayers and pixie your way!!! i don't have any kitties, but i have doggies and i know how precious they all are to us.

I met with some people from one of our local colleges while I was there and they asked me to fill out an intrest form that they would forward to the admissions counselor. We had been home for less than half and hour when he called and talked to me about additiona education. He had one interview spot left for the week and he said he wanted me in it!! I'm meeting him tommorrow after lunch!!! My pharmacy course may have just been the first step in the next phase of my life.

congrats!!!!!

A couple random things...

The bird is back. Yes, we are bird sitting for my neighbor...Again. They are bringing their DD to college tomorrow and are coming back on Saturday. Anyone willing to take bets on when they pick their bird up? I've got $10 on Sunday night, after 7.


Also, DSIL's DB and his wife had their second baby yesterday! More babies! Anyway, it is a little girl and she weighed 9 lbs 13 oz!

The kicker...Mommy had her au natural! ouch.

Anyone know why crying gives you headaches? Or am I the only one that that happens to? I was bawling through that funeral this afternoon and my head has hurt ever since. Maybe its my sinuses?

And to whoever asked for pics of my new 'do...you definitely aren't getting them tonight. I'm not having a cute day at all. Or week for that matter. Stress about school and my internship starting is getting to me and showing itself all over my chin. Plus I'm in the early stages of PMS which means more breakouts. Fabulous. I'll try to take some though.

Told you it was random...

I get headaches when I cry too. I think it's muscle tension. Try rubbing along the back of your head and down onto your neck. Also, drink some water. that what i always tell my students to do, and it seems to help (I see a lot of crying in kindergarten).

Can I ask for some pixie dust and prayers? One of my cats is pretty sick.

My prayers are with you andf your family. DH & I had to put down our 14yo Shihtzu on Mon morning. It was very sad, but I did get to hold her through it. We had to make the decision based on her health issues and really decided it was time. Definitely not an easy decision by any means. I am praying your kitty recovers from this.

Crying always gives me a headache! I haven't a clue why!!! And why is it, as grown women, we still get "break-outs" like we are teenagers?!? Just doesn't seem right to me.

Missed SYTYCD tonight. Was having dinner with DD's future in-laws. Of course I ate more than I should have. However, I am getting ready to do 100 crunches after I post and I did walk over 30 min in WalMart today! Does that count????

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Is there room for a few more? We are looking at going during that time too. DD#2's b-day is the 21st so we are going to try to go for her b-day week.

Sure! I hope I get to meet you before then considering we don't live that far apart from each other, but it would be fun to meet some Peeps in May!

can't wait for dance tonight. if anyone is curious about the show and hasn't watched it yet, tonight's the night to do so! the finale!!! i'm sure there will be some great routines.

Did you get to see the show Dawn? It was really good, I thought! I just don't know who I want to win. They are all SO good!

I got interrupted by phone calls - Life is entirely too crazy - or will be come Tomorrow Friday and Sunday! Crazy kids!! (DS bday celebration Thurs DD has baby sitting Red Cross Friday, the boys need me to take them to college Friday, dh needs a ride to WI Friday for Boy Scout Training he's in charge of!! )

UH, how are you taking the boys to school on Friday AND your DH to WI Friday? Sounds like you'll be busy!

I did Gilad's Bodies in Motion this morning, and man, was I sweating! I'm also going to the gym tonight w/DH. I need to work it twice, because yesterday was one of those days where life happens. (Warning- I'm headed for the pity pot here). I planned to eat right, go to the gym, and then have a nice dinner and go to a concert w/DH (Squeeze, if you remember them. Their song "Tempted" is on a new Heineken commercial). My mom called at 1:00 p.m. asking me to take her to the emergency room. DH was on his way home, so I waited 5 minutes for him, and we zipped over to my mom's. Her temperature was 103.1, and she's 79 and diabetic. She was totally confused, couldn't remember who anyone was, and was crying. We whisked her into the emergency room, then waited 2 hours to get registered. DH called my BIL to ask my sister to come when she got home from work. She met us in radiology, where they were doing an x-ray to see if mom had pneumonia. It turns out it was a sinus infection, but everything hits hard when you are in fragile health to begin with. My sister was in the emergency room with my mom till 9 p.m. DH and I made it to the concert in time for dinner (but we weren't able to shower first, so I felt like I was stinking up the joint. At least it was an outdoor venue). I didn't get my workout in, I ate semi-poorly because I was emotional from the day's events, but I did stand up and dance for the second half of the concert.
Oh, and the other lovely events yesterday: I woke up at 6:25 to the sound of the garbage truck, and realized we had forgotten to put our can out. I ran out in my nightie to drag the can to the truck. Nice way to wake up. And around 11, I opened my healthy carbs drawer to get some almonds, and everything (whole wheat pasta, brown rice, almonds, soy beans, etc) was infested with moths. Gross! They had gotten into the kids' junk food drawer too, but didn't touch the oreos. What does that tell you?
So I'm hoping for a better day today (although the concert was fantastic!) Everyone hang in there.

to you! And I remember Squeeze! I LOVE Tempted and Black Coffee in Bed! Both are on my ipod.

Oh! Dance! I feel for you! Our kitty is really attached to me. He follows me around the house, and he always wants to lay on me. Needless to say, I am attached to him too. I will be praying for your kitty's speedy recovery!

Prayers and Pixie dust PLEASE - -

I know we have a list for our prayer chain - please add Leeza, her sister, and father ( my ds 19 girlfriend of 2 years) - they are Russian immagrants, and full American Citizens (she moved here at 8yrs btw)

They went on a road trip ( I so forget what they call it!) but they are in PERU - they are due to come home on the 19th -

Tonight there is a 7.5 rictor scale earthquake near Lima Peru - the capital! I know they were going to climb a mountain ( sounds like Miza Peeshoo - I'll look it up, but just pray!) but apparently Leeza and her sister got sick (they travel a lot - back to Russia etc -she speaks 4 or 5 languages, very intelligent!) I know the earthquake was like 25 miles below surface...

continued prayers for the furbabies - and peep baby!!


(PS Lynda - dh needs to leave here at 6am - dd has a class 10 - 2 and then I can drive the boys down!! yeah, right! ugg!)

 

[punkin413]

Did you get to see the show Dawn? It was really good, I thought! I just don't know who I want to win. They are all SO good!

yeah, i saw it. i thought it was good, but honestly i thought the routines would be better. i guess i just expect too much from them now! i've been trying to vote for sabra because i think she's the best all around. i can't get through on the line though.....so that's a good sign! i really don't care who wins, but i hope it's sabra or danny. i LOVE neil, but he wasn't that great tonight. and i love lacy, too, but to me she's not even in the same league as the other 3 as a dancer. just my opinion.

 

[dance2874]

I'm sorry your kitty is so sick. I'm kind of surprised that they didn't recommend
putting her in the hosp for IV fluids and some potasium. I hope she feels better soon. Please PM me if you have any questions. Also if she quits eating and refuses even chicken baby food, get her to the vet right away, she may be getting worse.

They actually did suggest the hospital and said it could be 3-5 days there, but at $150 a day I cant afford it. As it is, todays tests and office visit set me back $300. Gosh, that sounds so horrible and uncaring. But I just dont have the money to do that She said what we are doing is the next best thing, so I am hoping she is right. So far, she is still eating (not much, but some and they gave me some really high fat/calorie food for her that she is eating) and I set up a separate littler box so I can make sure that is Ok too. If she stops eating though I will make sure I get her back in ASAP, no matter what it costs. Oh, and one of the medicines has somethig to do with potasium too. I am so informed, huh?!

Also, DSIL's DB and his wife had their second baby yesterday! More babies! Anyway, it is a little girl and she weighed 9 lbs 13 oz!

The kicker...Mommy had her au natural! ouch.

Anyone know why crying gives you headaches? Or am I the only one that that happens to? I was bawling through that funeral this afternoon and my head has hurt ever since. Maybe its my sinuses?

DD was 9 poudns 100 oz...but thankfully she ws not a natural delivery!

I get the crying headaches too. I hate that! I think it is sinus related. I have a monster one tonight. I cried so much my eyes are foggy from being dehydrated or something I guess.

boy when it rains it pours.

We had to make the decision based on her health issues and really decided it was time. Definitely not an easy decision by any means. I am praying your kitty recovers from this.

I didnt know that...I am so sorry for your loss. It is very hard. My childhood pets passed last summer- one was 22 and the other was 19...both cats. It was really awful. My poor sister back in Ohio had 'custody' of them and had to make the decisions herself. It is just so hard to know what is right sometimes.

Thanks for all the prayers guys. It has really helped me to feel a little better tonight. Now if I could just get rid of MY crying headache, maybe I could fall asleep.

Sorry I have been MIA! School has started again, so we have been extremely busy at the church. My grad class has had a lot of assignments the first couple of weeks. Just crazy in general - as I am sure is the case for everyone. I hope everyone is well. Happy Birthday to any I missed - sorry! I will try to check in more often. I have lost a couple of pounds in the last two weeks - not really trying, just busy.

 

[S.Poppins]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER!!!!!​

Sorry it is late, I looked it up and realized I had missed it. Hope it was a great day!!!

 

[S.Poppins]

Two weeks ago one of my principals sent out an e-mail asking for 5 teachers to sign up for this economics training. Part of the training would give me 5 continuing education credits for my teaching renewal certificate--I only needed .7 because I have been working on it over the past 2 years. It would also give me some classroom materials. This training would consist of 2 weekdays and 2 Sat. in the Fall and the same for the Spring. Sounds great so I signed up. It would look really good on my transcript since it is a Masters Seminar. Well on Friday I was given the dates and they are not a problem, but we are also given a semi schedule--it is nothing like it was presented. All the principal did was forward to us all the information that was sent to her. Here is what I now have to do--I had to submit a letter of why I wanted to take this seminar--there is a midterm project and a final project plus a final exam. OH MY GOSH--like I have time for this. In the original e-mail it sounded like some workshops that you would attend and go back and tech other teachers at your school. That is soooooo not the case. I tried to back out of it today, but could only do so if I found someone to take my spot and the clincher is I had until 3 today and guess what there were no takers I am sooo not looking forward to this---it is an actual masters level class that I am taking and it starts this Saturday.

Enough of my rant. Has anyone heard from MONICA???

Will you actually get a masters credit? I just happened to click on a random page and saw this.

 

[dismom9761]

[denecarter]

Cool thing I just did... I just got finished evaluating a 103 pg. educator resource book about family involvement programs for NASA. They remembered me from some stuff I had done with them before and asked me to be one of 4 people to proof it/evaluate it.

Can I ask for some pixie dust and prayers?

sorry to be so negative but it either blog here or blow a gasket!

Blog away, baby!

Definitely not an easy decision by any means.

I dread when that day comes for me and my two older dogs... who both have lots of medical problems.

I know they were going to climb a mountain ( sounds like Miza Peeshoo

Machu Picchu! That's where I'm supposed to go next June! I hope there's not a lot of people hurt. I've been busy all day and haven't watched or heard any news.

 

[eeyore45]

Melinda Did you oversleep again?? How was the first day back at school?

Dene That is cool - I was asked to edit textbooks, but I chickened out! Machu Picchu it is indeed!! Not heard anything, been watching the news all night!!

Stacey Poppins or is it wonder woman??!!! Glad to have you poppin in!!

Harley I'm with Dene Blog away sister!! How's the jeans goin? Poutin in bed works for me - and I know I tend to get very sarcastic when irratated at work - and I cant mouth off at work!! So dh gets the brunt of it!! Hope you can get some exercise in to burn off some of that grrrrr useless coworker!!

Dance and DismomBTDT with the babies!! Mine were all over 10# aunatural, DD the last was the lightest tho!! I dont remember how long they were - long enough!! (DS #1 the pediatrician kept getting measuring tapes, I asked what the problem was and he said, it cant be, his head is the same as his chest!) - - but anyway, I figure if I needed a spinal, I'd have one, but until then I'd work on it!! They all come naturally one way or another - right Mony? True Blessings!!

Wendy and Misty Missing you - I went looking for you on that Boutique board - almost posted - Love Mistys handiwork on the dress!! Did Aries get sucked in?

Zigzagrr Is today THE day????

extra for those of you going through pet losses... so sad!
