DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 4

[UtahMama]

Have you guys tried the new Quaker Rice Cakes that are Peanut Butter Chocolate chip???? 60 calories but they are so good! Especially for my kids. They like a smear of peanut butter on top of them. Tasty!!!

Just curious, I have a new client this semester, a 5 yr old with autism. It really is not my forte. Obviously I know what it is and everything, but does anyone on here have any experience with an autistic child? Thanks

I work with a lot of autistic children in the music and movement class that I teach. I find adding movement helps the kids learn. The teachers tell me what they are working on. I try and put it to music or make a movement activity for the lesson. The teachers are always amazed at how fast the kids learn. Kept an open mind and be creative. I have a lot of fun working with autistic kids.

Hi Peeps! I hope everyone is having a great Sunday! After a busy day yesterday, I haven't done that much today (and it has been great).

Sandy I will keep your son in my prayers!

Utah Mama Way to go on losing the "2"!!

Dance I think the BBB is every little girls dream! You are going to have a blast!

Wonders When I was doing my elem ed. practicums I had a class about children with special needs. I had to write a paper about autisim and I found a really good web site. I will see if I can find it for you. Oh, and I am also thinking about taking the plunge and getting some crocs. There are so many to choose from!

Punkin
Watermellon Margarittas sound so good! Did you make them or go out somewhere?

Eventer I can't wait to see pics of your hair cut! I'm sure it looks cute. I think it is so nice that you are sending your hair to Locks of Love. I had a girl in my class do that last year.

we get the watermelon margaritas at longhorn steakhouse. we don't really like their steaks that much b/c they use the flattop to cook them and we prefer grilled, but DH LOVES their wild west shrimp and i like the sierra chicken. they don't always have the watermelon margaritas on the menu, but if you ask the bartender usually has the stuff to make one. soooo good!!!!! but it's only allowed on a cheat day b/c i have no idea how many calories are in those suckers!

by the way, thanks for this recipe. i'm printing it out and i'm gonna try to make it when i get back from disney. i want to do it immediately, but i just got back from the grocery store and i don't have some of this stuff and i don't want to go back before we leave next saturday.

Prayers please...

Prayers for ds 21.. Nathan... he is in a lot of pain ONE WEEK BEFORE FINALS..

You see 2 years ago we went thru 3 or 4 hospitals, to get rid of a HUGE kidney stone... and he believes its his kidneys...AGAIN!! ugggg. I was in his room, he doenst drink pop anymore... water, lemonade, or tea... and he's 21... (oh yes, he drinks beer, but not to excess, he cant afford it, he may dring Guiness a few times a week!)

I have no idea, but why sUNday, ONE week before finals...

yes, dh and I are a bit distraught! Should we drive down there and bring him home? I have no idea what to do!

I hope he is ok. I've heard how painful kidney stones are. OUch!

 

[punkin413]

belle8306 - do you know how many calories that taco soup is? i'm not doing weight watchers, just calorie counting. if you don't know, do you know if the weight watchers website has the calorie count listed? thanks!!!

 

[Eventer98]

Ok...a little better on food today:

B-2 eggs on toast, light OJ
L-yogurt, cupcake, diet 7up
S-watermelon, twizzlers
D-BBQ pork chop, scalloped potatoes, frozen corn, 3 rolls, skim milk
S-watermelon


Just talked to my guide and she said there wouldn't be dues on the 2006 points and she is checking availabilty for DVC. She said she wouldn't be able to until tomorrow though! I can't wait that long!!! If we can get a studio for June it will end up saving us almost $900 over staying at SOG. That would be awesome!!

Any of you DVC'ers feel like checking on avail. for me?? Pretty please? I don't have a member number yet since I just put down the deposit yesterday. It would be 6/23-7/2....any DVC studio. TIA!!!!!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

thanks Peeps

My heart is in my throat! Its sunday, I'm hoping if he waited this long he can wait another 24 hours - Lynda that's where he went 2 years ago for his first stone (he had blood in his urine, and hs gf/df made him go to that eR - it was the beginning of a long series of hospitals - he got the shunt, he got the shockwave...) Right now he doesnt have his cell phone charged, so who knows... dratted kids when they are far from home and need mom!

Sounds like he had some bad ones last time! I hope this time is not that bad, and I hope he feels better very soon!

lynda - i meant to comment on how good your hair looks! don't you just love getting your hair did! i just got mine done the other day and i loves it! but i get bored with it really fast. and it grows soooooo fast so when i get highlights it's hard to keep up with the new growth - i'll probably end up changing the color again when we get back from disney!

by the way, about your *problem* down below.....have you tried mineral oil? that always works for me when i have that problem. i just do a shot (literally a shot in a shot glass) before bedtime and then in the morning my problem usually goes away. and the mineral oil doesn't taste bad. it doesn't taste like anything really....just oily. so i always chase it with cold water to swish around in my mouth so i don't have that nasty oiliness. just a suggestion!

My hair grows really fast too! We are having to adjust the timing of my cuts now that I have more layers. It looks like I'll be going every 4 weeks!

Thanks! Where would I pick up mineral oil. I've never bought it before. This *problem* is something I have to deal with from time to time, so having some on hand might be a good idea...just in case.

you can get it at any CVS or eckerd or somewhere like that. i think they even have it in grocery stores! it should be with the laxatives. like i said, i just do a shot of it at bedtime and then wash it down with cold water. i took some friday night and today it "worked". so it doesn't always work the very next day....but it will eventually work! i guess it just depends on what's in your system at the time.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Oh, and church was great! The service was great. I saw a friend I haven't seen in years. Saw the minister who married DH and I. (He's so good!) It was beautiful outside, and we took DH's aunt out to lunch and shopping afterwards because she has lost 50# and needed some new clothes. Still gorgeous outside, and not sure what we are doing, but I think we going to go take the convertible for a short drive. I'll check in later! Hope everyone is having a great weekend and a day as beautiful as the one we are having here!

We do that to horses to when they get their stomachs get bound up!!

Ew Mineral Oil is gross!

We're prom-planning!

DS17 is all, "What's a corsage?"

Do they still do corsages and boutinires? I'm out of the loop!

 

[Eventer98]

Audition didnt go too well. Even though this is her eigth year dancing, it is her first year of ballet and there was a lot of stuff she didnt know how to do. I was expecting this and I thought DD understood this as well. She has never wanted to do something and failed. I know this was a good lesson for her but its a hard one to watch. Thanks for cheering her on though.

I'm sorry to hear that! I remember competing in tons of horse shows when I was little and throwing fits in the back of my parents car on the way home when I lost...which was a lot!! It must have helped though b/c now I could care less about losing at shows although my pride still gets a little bruised! I hope she bounces back and can just become stronger from it!!

I still remember my first really bad audtion. There was so much I didnt know and I felt it. It was bad. Waiting for the rejection letter was worse though. My mom inercepted it in the mail so she could help me though it. I know it is a hard lesson, but just be there to listen. She will grow from it and know even better what she is in for next time.

Ok day on the food front here. DH and I are still arguing over what is for dinner...and it is 7:30 now. I am getting angrier by the minute. He says he doesnt care, so then I get soemthing ready to make and he says he isnt int he mood for it. Yet he has no ideas on what he IS in the mood for.

Anyone know how many calories in cotton candy??? There was a small fair here we went to today an I had some of DD's cotton candy, not a ton because it wasnt great. At least I recognized it wasnt great and stopped before wasting a ton of calories on it. At least it is fat free!

What's a corsage? Really? Tee Hee

Well, I don't know if they still do those, but I would think so? Mine was a wrist corsage though. (That was 15 years ago though.)

They do here but mostly wrist corsages.
DD is also prom planning. We had picked up her dress and shoes and DH not realizing what the bag was accidentally threw out the new shoes! Luckily they got us another pair.

Hello everyone!
I am not sure I will ever catch up. we went to WDW for 10 days and when I left I was on page seven hundred and something. There is a LOT to read to catch up!
I only gained 1/2 pound which is better than I expected!
DD went to New York for the weekdn with her drama group. She just called to say they met the cast of the play they just saw. I dont know the actors except for David Hyde Pierce, the guy from Frazier.
