DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 3

[Disneyfreak92]

OK all I am ready to dish on todays drama, DS about a month ago was shot at not hit but shot at by one of our lovely new nieghbors he is a boy 3 yrs older than DS and had punched ds last year on the bus. My DS is a very highly functioning child with ADHD and really works hard not to be known. I never get home when the bus was getting out and was 10 minutes behind I learned from nirhgors that my DS had been being bullied and refused to ride the bus.

I asked the transportation director if DS could go on van with me and she said no way. I have been taking DS anyway, he has an appointment with his dcotor on March 20th and figured I could "get"away with taking him myself. If I told you how upset he was vomitting sleepless and children that are healthy that would be a mess but DS it sent hiim whirling!

At the time of the incident I reported to our police the state troopers and they otld me I should keep the peace and it was when my son was wlaking the dog so "maybe" the boy was frightened . I must post pics of my scary pups!!!

ANyway I said ok but thought the police intervention would have done something but it just aggravated matters more.

Bottom line, DS was standing where I told him NOT to!!!! So the vice principal came out and I am in alot of trouble. I have never done anything taht gave the school a moments pause, I lvoe my kids and its not DS fault I jsut should have figured soemthing else out. It is impoissible to get someone to watch your child at 6:000 in the morning and thats when I head out to start my run.

OK so the sad truth is I was in the wrong and am praying that my superiors have a bit of mercy. I have a docotrs note stating how DS needs to be off the bus until things change.

so thats the poop! I made a mess of a sticky situation and am praying "God's Will" I hope I accpet it!!!

OK, I have finally caught up, and I'm glad I decided to go back and read. and to you and your DS! I am happy to hear that you are starting to get through this. You will be in my prayers!

Lynda....I'm always hoping that the oatmeal is actually NOT IN the smoothie....which sounds kinda gross. To me(l). I would put a laughing smilie here but I'm over my limit for this post. Pretend it's here.

That is funny! I never read it that way before, but you are absolutely right!

awww nope, not gonna do it, not gonna "ignore" our favorite meal point poster!!

How sweet, Sandy! Thanks! Oh, and I WILL be in town on Mother's weekend. When's My Fair Lady?

OOHHH....That is the best feeling. I want to go at Christmas time,was it very crowded?

I was there at the same time as Mony, and we didn't experience much in the way of crowds. I don't think we waited more than 15 minutes for anything. In 2005, we were there a couple of weeks later - in December. About the same then. It's a GREAT time of year to go!

1st lets celebrate I am at post 800.

Welcome newcomers! This is a great group of women and a few men and we are more than happy to have you join us.

Let me now apologize for letting some of you worry about me. You have mentioned I dont sound like myself and I am not myself anymore. A lot of things are happening and I will explain shortly.

Now, I am asking you all a favor. Please do not change your opinion of Grumpy once you read this because he loves you all, and you love him. I dont want that relationship to change. We can co-habitate on this board.

Okay, here we go. You are all my friends and you are all so terrific and great at offering support and prayers. There are some changes being made in my life. Dan has decided that our relationship has changed enough over the years that it is time to move on. The most important thing to both of us is the well being of our children. This is not something that I want to happen, however I am slowly accepting the inevitable. You cant make someone love you that doesnt love you anymore.

I am in the middle of my grieving process and I am still angry a lot of the time.
Sometimes I say things that are not nice. I regret them almost immediately, but I cant take them back. I took my wedding rings off on Valentine's
Day. This all took place the 1st week of work.. So, I have been dealing with it now for a couple of weeks. Dan and I are not bad people.. But, maybe we are just not good together.

I have gained more weight.. and I hope to gain some control over my emotions soon so that I can be losers with all of you.

I have not given up... Miracles do happen. Please dont bother Dan with this. He loves this board and you people.. I love you too... I thought it only fair I share with you MY feelings since in a way you are my "family" also.

We or I plan on still taking the girls to WDW in September.. so when the decision is made as to if it will be 4 or 3 of us I may be asking for help in planning the perfect vacation.

I guess I will not be joining you in January, and if I do it will just be me.. Since I will no longer be a married woman I will need a room-mate if it becomes possible at all. We will cross that bridge at a later time.


All I ask now is for your prayers and support and to continue to give your love to both of us, we need it now more than ever. Also, pray for my girls they love us both and we love them.

I love all y'all!!!!!!

Please do not try to assign blame. I have not been perfect. This is a marriage it takes two to make it and two to break it. Please dont pick sides.. I am not asking for that.. Just.. love and support for all!

Bee, my heart breaks for you and Grumpy and your girls! No taking sides here. We are here for support, and that is what I will be doing - supporting you both. Here is some and some for you and Grumpy and your girls.

ASo I am back from swimming. Yes, took my fat bottom and got in the pool. Have to start somewhere right?

So, I ran laps in the water, kicked like crazy holding on to the wall and swam some laps.

That is the most exercise I have had in quite awhile. I felt a little twinge (if that is even a word) in my back.. But, I am carrying around a lot of weight both mentally and physically.

I keep tellng myself I will be fine... and I have a lot of moments of calm and more moments of crying. Dan and I have been married almost 17 years. I have been with him for almost half my life. I am scared to death. He is all I have ever known. Anyway-enough!!! I have to stop mourning... but I have a feeling I will be in mourning quite awhile.

Bee

My parents were divorced after 18 years of marriage, when I was 10. I, of course, have not been through this from your perspective, but I am here for you if you need anything.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Goodnight.

Thanks for the prayers. Anyway I am going to bed now. I will check in the morning.. I am very tired and 5:15 comes awfully early.

Love to all my friends.

Bee

 

[S.Poppins]

Bee- I am so sorry you are going through this. Do your girls know yet? I will pray for your family. We love you!

THis is a "fly By" post sorry !!!!
I havent been around the past few days to check in because we ahd to help my grandparents put my great grandmother in a nursing home. It has been so hard on my Gramma. but she was well onher way to sharing a room with her if she kept up trying to take care of her. She now feels so guilty, it took a few weeks of searching for just the right one, and they finally settled on one that a friend of thiers who is a doctor put his parents into when he had to make that decision. I just hope that the guilt doesnt get to her, it's eating her up.

Anyway, I am finishing up my pretrippie and hopefully will have it posted by tomorrow morning. My oldest DD14,Caylin started golf this week, along with Spring/Summer softball, and DD5, Lexie starterd soccer ( I thought it was starting AFTER our trip) so it has been crazier around here than usual.

I think of you all often, is that weird? I feel as though I KNOW you all in person, "for real" kwim? And even though I havent said it often enough, or post everday, you guys are an inspiration for me, a true support group. Sometimes just reading the posts helps so much and hopefully I will work up the nerve to someday start posting more often.

okay, sorry, how come is it that I don't post often but when I do it's always a mini novel,
love you guys, and BIG HUGS !!!

Hey Brandi! Good to see you!

Sandy said to drink squeeze suck, great now I hurt myself! I am not sure if I did them in the right order.....

Fidge - I am glad it is starting to work out for you. So the van you drive is not for the school, technically? A day off for hunting season and no MLK day? Are you sure you don't live in Arkansas!? And everyone always picks on MS.

I miss you guys! I'm still lurking here!
Fidge, major prayers for you and your son! That incident makes me so MAD I would definately turn into Mother Bear and beyond if anyone ever takes a shot at one of myine with anything other than a water gun.

Hello everyone else
Congrats on the trophy's Harley! WOWSIERS!

Confession time...Tonight we went to visit another youth group and the church was in a shopping center and in the parking lot there was a fair and do you know what they have at fairs......FUNNEL CAKES, my favorite non chocolate food and you can only get them at fairs and WDW sooooo I did share it with my friend. Okay I feel better now. DH is gone to GA and will be back tomorrow. So I know I will have a hard time sleeping tonight. I guess I will do some statistics work - Yippee!

[dwheatl]

I just got caught up. It's actually been 2 days of less than stellar eating on my part. I was attacked by a 6 y.o. student yesterday (he has emotional problems, no surprise) and I came home pumped up on adrenaline, then ate to calm down. Today I ate for some other reason, I don't know why, but just posting here helped me slow down. thanks for being here, peeps.

Oooookay....here I am on a "weight-loss" board, gingerly dipping my toe in the water. I'm nervous about being here, because, well, frankly, I've kind of given up on the whole weight loss thing for some time now, because I feel sort of defeated.

Welcome. The gym helps me a lot. Hope it works for you. Over 40 metabolism is a bear, but the gym really helps.

Welcome BunnysMum so glad you find us here!!!! You will see what a great place this is for support and a great place to giggle the pounds away!

Daisy....so glad you are back!

When I saw the word "giggle", I thought of Dawn talking about Dave Navarro's "giggle pickle". You can see what kinds of things stick in my mind.

And welcome back Daisy. We're glad we haven't lost you.

Sandy (or Snady) I sent you a pm about Engaged Encounter. Glad you found value in Marriage Encounter.

I'm feeling great thanks for asking. I'm actually feeling the baby move. That's pretty cool!

This doesn't happen to me so often at this age, but I have baby envy. It's so exciting when you can feel them move! Hi baby!

Sandy said to drink squeeze suck, great now I hurt myself! I am not sure if I did them in the right order.....

You made me snort. Glad you can keep your sense of humor w/your challenges going on.

Love and hugs to everyone in distress. I pray for you all every morning (including those of you in a happy place).

Have a great Wednesday all.

[daisy_77]

Hello, Peeps!
It has been a busy day! Instead of rejoining WW meetings I just registered online. I am hoping that I can get the same results when I was going to the meetings. So wish me luck!

WI_DisneyFan-Those office treats are the worst! Especially when they are in view or within reach!

Fidge- Prayers are still being said over here for you and your son. I am so sorry that you have to be going through all of this right now. I can't believe that the kids there get the 1st day of hunting season off but not MLKJr Day! And...remember Just Keep Swimming!

eeyore45-Ah...yes! I have a mantra while I am DISing...Drink, Suck, Squeeze! Thanks!

DisneyObsession-2 degrees in Buffalo?? I thought it was cold here! I hope it warms up soon for you!

Wonders10-Congrats on getting some much needed time off! I am going to check out your Pretrippie report out tomorrow! I wish I had the courage to write a TR. I am not a good writer.

punkin413-I love Peter Pan! I am going to Walmart tomorrow and I am gonna pick me up a copy! I cannot wait to see the Tink movie! Also, GREAT job on losing! You are gonna ge that 5 pound ribbon VERY soon!

Cinderellas Slipper- Everyone is so supportive here! You will love it here!

Danielle-Good job stopping at mid-binge! That is hard! I am also having a tinge of baby envy! I cannot wait to get down to a healthy weight so we can start trying for baby #2!

Spongie-I hope things slow down for you so you can take a nice break. Good job on that AWESOME workout! I bet you feel so good!

mousehouselover-Congrats on losing a pound!! Keep it up! Have a nice trip!

Bee- You and your family are in my prayers. I know that this is hard. I went through this with my in-laws. We are all here if you need us! BOTH of you. AND...good job on the workout!

S.Poppins-HAHA...funnel cakes are one of my weaknesses too! At least you shared with someone!

Well, I am so tired! I have been such a nightowl lately. I have no idea why. I am sorry that I use usernames in my post instead of your real names...I am still getting to know you all! I hope you all have a great evening! Talk to ya tomorrow!

 

[mousehouselover]

Had to take a minute to post after reading what Bee had to say. to the entire family. This is a hard spot to be in. I know the both of you will do everything in your power to make sure your girls know that no matter the outcome, the two of you still love them and want them to have good relationships with both their parents. As much as I hope you will bea ble to work things out after a while, I know that is not always possible. You are facing a new chapter in your lives, you can chose to make the best of it or you can be bitter and resentful. Neither of you seem to be the type of people to be unhappy but divorce can change people. Again to all of you,

I got on the scale this am and I'm still a bit higher than I was on Sat but I'm getting there. I'll w.i. tomorrow and post early since I'm not going to be home on Fri.

I got my photopass CD yesterday!! It was almost anti-climactic since I've been working with the pix for a month. It's nice to have them though.

In a sadder and more frustrating nte, we bought a portable easy share printer for my camera. We got it on Sun but I didn't open it until yesterday. When I unpacked the box, the printer itself was missing! The cords and books and everything was in it, just not the printer. I think it may have been the display unit and the clerk didn't know it wasn't in the box. Dh is going to take it back and I hope they will take care of it. I'm worried that they won't refund his $$ for it.

Gotta run, I still have to work today.

 

[lexmelinda]

HAPPY WEDNESDAY, PEEPS!!!

Is everybody here getting the email from HUNGRY GIRL??? They have some great recipes and product reviews. I bought the new Nature's Own double fiber bread....5 gr. of fiber/40 calories per slice. I'll let you know how it is.

STACEY.......Hip CT??? Any news???

SNADY.....Love you, girl. Your posts always make me smile.

Now you see me, Now you don't

Kelly!!! We miss you! Hope all is well with you and your girls! Take care and don't be a stranger!

Sandy said to drink squeeze suck, great now I hurt myself! I am not sure if I did them in the right order.....

May I just say..... I READ THIS AT WORK YESTERDAY while I was stealth DISing. I almost blew my cover!

but just so everyone knows, i didn't reach my 5-pound goal today. i stayed the same. but i'm not discouraged at all. i know i can't lose something EVERY day!

I've found that my weight fluctuates so much (with AF, water retention, and such) from day to day that a once a week weigh in is good for me. Glad you're not discouraged.

I've never ever been very good at this weight loss thing, but after reading all the supporting messages and well wishes included in the posts on this topic -- it seems to me -- if I could be sucessful losing weight anywhere it would have to be right here.

Linda!!!

Bottom line whether I pictured some of you cheering from horns or hiding behind bushes or writing congressman or just holding my hand and holding me up, I pictured alll of you!!! BTW we are all size 7s too!!!! I did not feel alone and the fear has been replaced with faith and many times these 24 hours it was not my faith but all of yours.

Brigitte........that is the sweetest "thank you" I ever read. We all love you so much. Now you let us know how it goes today and don't make me pry it outta ya!

I'm posting because I'm mid-binge, and trying to put a stop to it. i thought posting would put me in a WWPD frame of mind.

Danielle......way to go, girl! Posting mid binge? WWPD?!?

As for me, I'm still working it. I got on the scale on Sat and I was down a pound, just like always it came after weigh in. This am I was back up again. I'm trying hard not to cheat. I've been wanting to snack and nibble lately.

WOW....great summary of the last few days. Been worried about you Noni. Still praying for you. Thanks for checking in.

You are all my friends and you are all so terrific and great at offering support and prayers. There are some changes being made in my life.

Oh, Bee! I knew something was wrong. No judgement here...just support for you both and prayers for all four.

"See" you all back here the 18th or 19th!

HAVE FUN, NANCY!!!!

B: oatmeal & yogurt smoothie (220) (No, not together! )

Geez....thank goodness!

I think of you all often, is that weird? I feel as though I KNOW you all in person, "for real" kwim? And even though I havent said it often enough, or post everday, you guys are an inspiration for me, a true support group.

Yes, Brandi!!! I know exactly what you mean! Hard to explain internet forums to people who have no idea what they are. I find myself saying things like "Well my friend Sandy says..." I never explain how I know my peeps...but they are often in my thoughts....easily as much as my "real" friends. LOVE YOU GUYS & GIRLS!!!

i just kept thinking i do not want to go home.

Endorphins!!! Gotta love 'em. Way to go, Misty!!

EVERYONE ELSE..... ::cop:
or whatever you need.....it's all there on the obscure smilies menu.

HAVE A FABULOUS DAY, PEEPS!!!

 

[Bee]

Thank you once again. I felt so bad not sharing with you all what is going on in my life. Isnt it funny that even in typing on a board you can tell if someone is "down" or "up", when you know them well enough.

I am finding more support even in my "real" life than I knew I had. Funny how people think you are stronger than you ever give yourself credit for.

I am "trying" to look forward to the baby steps I am taking. It is hard not to dwell on the past. I am remembering the good times and crying over what was. It is a killer to talk to the man you loved who used to look at you with desire and have that special warmth in his voice that at one time was so wonderful to hear. Now, all I hear is a strained, hurt voice that is saying I am talking to you because I have to. Dont ever take for granted that hug, or sweet tap... or the words I love you. It is so sad when it goes missing.

The girls know. I am trying to be positive around them. It is not easy and I have failed. I have explained that they may overhear me say things that are hurtful. I ask them if they have ever said anything that they didnt mean and wish they hadnt said it afterwords. They of course said that yes they do that. I told them that I need to vent and cry and sometimes when I am talking on the phone they need to give me some space. However, my girls have a hard time with that concept so I have to be better. Mothers, you know that even a closed door on a bathroom doesnt usually mean much to your children.. (fathers sometimes also)

They really are good girls. I would NEVER hurt Dan and turn the girls against him. He is a GREAT father.

Alrighty then! Love all of you!!
B

 

[eeyore45]

I have to be at work at 7:10 am so I'm running late, but like others have posted, love to come in, read, and pray for all of us peeps.. those in need, and those that come together for each other, we join hands and lift each other up - together - powerful thing!! FEEL the power!!

Bee I think - slash that.. i know.. I need to ask you for your forgiveness! I too noted your posts as being "off" You did come here first with a bright attitude, and gradually the light got dim... and I didnt say anything - you were going thru apparant stress - work, family, weight... but it was much worse. I also cant imagine what you are going through, but I do admire your fortitude - your determination to keep the kids at the forefront, to think of him as your kids "Daddy" I admire you... this isnt your choice, but you are taking what is handed to you and going forward... and I love that you are sharing your talk with your girls!! I LOVE the spirit you showed at the gym. and I admit, and ask you to forgive me, I am not the best person, I dont relate well to men - and it upsets me they can go thru stress and lose weight, like its melting - I know they work at it, but dagnabit it hurts to see that!!



I've got to head out, there's snow on the cars!

I forgot to mention - THANK YOU Daisy and Melinda I just love the posts you two make to sum it up for me! I add a "hear hear" or is it "HERE HERE" yea that's the ticket -

Look out here I go!!

 

[DisneyObsession]

1st lets celebrate I am at post 800.

WOOHOOTY! 800!!!!

All I ask now is for your prayers and support and to continue to give your love to both of us, we need it now more than ever. Also, pray for my girls they love us both and we love them.

I love all y'all!!!!!!

Please do not try to assign blame. I have not been perfect. This is a marriage it takes two to make it and two to break it. Please dont pick sides.. I am not asking for that.. Just.. love and support for all!

I am sad to hear the news, but my prayers are with you all. No sides will ever be taken by me, as you said, it takes two. Noone, but the two of you, know the circumstances and you need to do what you have to. Take care and take one day at a time. We Love You Both!!!

 

[S.Poppins]

Melinda - hip is doing much better. I have not done so well on exercises this week - I have just been so darn busy! Thanks for asking!

Went to bed a 2 this morning and running late. So, I will catch ya'll later.

 

[punkin413]

ASo I am back from swimming. Yes, took my fat bottom and got in the pool. Have to start somewhere right?

So, I ran laps in the water, kicked like crazy holding on to the wall and swam some laps.

That is the most exercise I have had in quite awhile. I felt a little twinge (if that is even a word) in my back.. But, I am carrying around a lot of weight both mentally and physically.

awesome!!!!!!! swimming is such great exercise, especially since you don't have to worry about sweating! haha.

and one of the reasons i love exercising so much is because it's the one time during the day when you don't have to think about anything but getting through that workout. it really clears my head. maybe if you think about it like that, it'll be something you look forward to because of what's going on mentally/emotionally with you right now.

 

[punkin413]

They really are good girls. I would NEVER hurt Dan and turn the girls against him. He is a GREAT father.

Alrighty then! Love all of you!!
B

that's such a good thing to hear. that happens all too often and it's really disturbing to see it as often as i do. believe it or not, you really have a great attitude about all this IMO. i know it's hard. sounds like you have a lot of support though. sending you good vibes......

 

[eeyore45]

Good Gravy, this is an old slow mac (its pink!!) LOL, not all the smileys show, and the M key isnt working too great!! All right all the keys are sticky!! LOL I'm a jr high SCIENCE Teacher today!!! AAAaaack!! lol

I wanted to add...

DAISY The picture in your siggy is so cute!! THANKS so much for sharing!!

ack here they come.......

 

[grumpyyoungguy]

Thank you to all who have sent their well wishes during this difficult time. I appreciate those who have chosen not to take sides.

I, like you, was shocked to see the break-up of our marriage posted yesterday. Obviously not because I was unaware of it, but because we had not discussed how to approach such a private matter with mutual friends...even on the boards. I knew that at some point we would need to bring this to our friends here, however the choice of when and how was made without any communication.

I sat dumbfounded last night and yet relieved. It is good to know that this elephant in the middle of the room is now in the open. I am full of gratitude to those who have been able to read the posts and know that there are never easy decesions to make when chosing to leave a life you saw yourself in forever. This was not made in short order...but rather after a long, painful time span for us both Many have said that this will end in being a better relationship...and I agree. Fighting on any level is not healthy for our girls and this choice was made for them. I love them with my whole heart and they deserve a mother and a father who is content and love them...even without residing in the same home.

Please keep our family in your prayers...we will need them as things get tougher before we, as a family get to the other side. I appreciate your respecting my privacy in this...I plan on not discussing this again here...I feel for myself there are other venues I can chose that will not make people feel one-sided because as fair as anyone tries to be...it is impossible not to get personal viewpoints involved...mine...hers or yours. I respect you all too much to do that and I hope you grant me that respect in-return.

I will continue to be a member of this thread and look forward to each of our successes...both with weight and in our lives.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I forgot when I was posting my totals last night to tell you about my 32 minutes on the bike last night! That's right! I spent about 32 minutes on my exercise bike listening to my iPod. OMGarsh! I LOVE my iPod!!! I have decided that it will be well worth the time I spent importing songs into that thing! I was pumped up! I KNOW I rode harder than I have in a long time. I was trying to keep up with that music. And it rocked! Let's see now...can I recall some of the songs for the Peeps' reference? Hmmm...

Shakira/ Hips Don't Lie
Britney Spears/ Toxic
All American Rejects/ Move Along
Red Hot Valentines/ Bring Back the Good Times
Diplo/ Dilo Rythm
Gwen Stefani/ Sweet Escape

It seems like I was forgetting something...maybe Fall Out Boy? At any rate, it was great, and I felt great afterward. On Monday, I had used my exercise ball for about 20 minutes. (It would have been longer, but it needed more air, and the puppy was already sleeping, so I didn't want to wake her to go get the pump.) And today...My abs are SORE! I guess that means it's working?
