I'm sorry you are having a rough day too!! Do you have to watch the kids tomorrow too?? I love my boss but sometimes she assumes I can just work late without asking first. I know she does not do it to be a jerk but today she called at 3:50 (she is supposed to leave her school at 3:40 to be home by 4) Said she wanted to stay late for something and was going to ask her husband to come home. He works 30m. away so by the time she called him and he got home it would be 4:30 at the earliest. Um hello? I think she assumes I have no life after work! So I lied and told her I had to teach a riding lesson and planned to be out on time. She was very nice and apologized...came home right away but I was still 20m. late getting out. Like you, some days I don't care but today was one of the days I just wanted to be done. I hope you have a good rest of the night and DH is home soon!!

I had a lady like that once, and she did it probably once a week it seemed. Made me nuts. I was there from 8-5 with her 3 boys so by 5 I was done! But I was too much of a pushover to really say much about it. I started asking her early in the day what her plans were, and made hints that I had plans myself for after work. She never really got the hint though! Oh well. I do have the kids tomorrow afternoon and I teach in the am, but I only have them for a few hrs and we are planning to hit the pool, so I think I will make it

OK, spill the beans! A MOP with a MAGIC ERASER on it?! Where? What is it called?? And 800 thread count for $17? Where???? (can you tell I am in a shopping mood?) And 100 calorie twix? No kidding? How have I never seen those???

TARget my friend, Target!! The Mop was only $12 - I bought a replacement/spare head too!! I thought it worked much better than I espected11 It was in the aisle of the mops - I was shocked - it is lightweight, has a nice comfy handle to it!! I'll let you know how the 800 count sheets compare to the egyptian cotton ones I got on sale - I did forget to get pillow cases tho!

WOW, sounds like a quite a trip! Go get some rest so you can tell us all about it. Welcome back!

So, today was a long day. I have had a headache all day, which is lovely coupled with my daycare kids, a hyper daughter and too much mud in the backyard to play outside. And one of them broke a bracelet of Amandas we got at BBB at DW last year. It was probably all of $6 but still...all the beads came off when he pulled it apart and broke the string. She was heartbroken (and admittedly so am I even though it is silly)and he could care less that he broke it. (he broke something else last week that I sort of blew off as no biggie, so I am chatting with his mom today at pick up) She was late picking them up, normally not a big deal but today was not the day I wanted to have them late. I then had to run to the bank and it was 6:45 before I had a chance to deal with dinner. So we had McD's In the end, it was still under my max calories for today but I didnt get the salad like I should have the night before weigh in. OH, and DH was supposed to be off at 5 and is stuck there until at least 8:30 which means I have to do bath and bed for Amanda tonight when I really need a break.

No sympathy needed...just wanted to get it all out! Off to run the bath. She is in watching Shrek for the millionth time, but she is being still and quiet so I dont care.

I am so glad I"m not alone at "getting it all out!!" I cant tell you how many times dd watched "Belle Belle" and yet, Aurora is her fav princess??!! Its all good!!

DD school had their Music Program tonight - 4th and 5th performed last - 8pm!! I'm tired!! DS #2 is home - and showered!!

The fun in my house never lets up.

The rash on my hand has spread to my neck. I'm itchy and now I'm afraid to scratch anything.

My sick kiddos aren't getting better and seeing another post about kids with strep has me concerned. Low grade fevers, one was vomiting and now sore thraots with hacking coughs.........

DH needs teh laptop, gotta run. TTY tomorrow.

 

[S.Poppins]

This is the way I look right now! I thought I would do a quick check in before going to bed. I have missed everyone and feel way out of touch. I think this May has topped December as far as business! Madison has 20 girls spending the night tomorrow for her birthday. After that all night we have a youth cookout on Saturday. I am helping "preach/teach" our Mother's Day services. And the list continues on and on and on.......

I saw the pic of Melinda and DD. Melinda your daughter gets her good looks honestly!

So are Heather and all of them still gone?

I'm so sorry to hear that you aren't feeling good..that's not good news going into the weekend. I hope you and your family are feeling better soon!!

So I looked at Stacey's ticker and realized that I am just 2 short hours until I am half way between my vacations!!! Well; technically, Stacey left a few days before I did but it's close enough for me. I can officially say my next vacation is closer than the last one I took!!!! Woo Hooty!!!!!!!

Thanks for the warm thoughs, Tara. I'm hoping a few days R & R will help but I'm going to keep a close eye on them just in case.

It's been a long day; gotta hit the sheets. Night all!

 

[Eventer98]

Ok...so I tried on my "one-size down summer capris." These are the ones from 4 years ago that I just love and can't bear to get rid off. I have made a little progress since the last try....they aren't too tight in the buttocks anymore but I still can't zip them up. One pair I could but since they are low-rise it was not a pretty site. I am hoping I can get into them in 6 weeks for WDW. I am guessing I am 7-10pds. away. Sprinkle some dust my way please!!!

I hope everyone has a good night's sleep tonight and dreams those pounds away!!!

Early Friday post so I can get it over with early - I was up 1.5 pounds this week. I guess this was my week for stress eating to catch up with me. I'm still at it. Grrrrrr. I'll try to get it under control the rest of the week.

If you're looking for a yummy asian dressing, try Ken's Light Asian Sesame-Ginger. It's restaurant quality good! Has a little kick to it too and a little goes a long way.

Thanks fr the tip - I'll try that!

Shula, sending prayers that all goes well at the graduation.

And to Sparkie and MHL, too. And anyone else who needs a hug.

Gorgeous pic, Melinda, of you and your DD. Your shower story was too funny!

Now you get the condensed version. I am DOWN 3 #'s this week. That gets me new bling! YAY!! Its taken long enough! 20 to go! I am on target for 20 by Sept. I am gonna do this. I have made up my mind!

Morning Peeps!

I'm just barely hanging on.

End of school, 2 dance recitals, Prom this weekend and a graduating Senior, working full time and trying to take a rake to my house now and again.

If only this counted as excercise- but I'm too tired to even think about excercise. My diet has been the pits this week. I do really, really BAD when I'm tired- lible to just eat anything. Same old problem- and I fell victim to same old habits.

Gonna skip weigh in this week- I may not weigh for a while- the scales just seem to depress me and I say in my head - I might as well eat- I was hungry and didnt lose anything. I know- WRONG! But maybe if I dont focus on the numbers so much I wont get discouraged.

Gotta get some rest- another round of "stuff" this afternoon.

Night all!

I think it is more important to make healthy choices than to worry about the scale. I would say really focus on journaling ALL that you eat, and if any of it is emotional eating, what triggers it. Giving up the scale is great, but try to keep some kind of accountability. When I gave it all up (scales, journaling, exercise, etc.) I put back on 40 lbs. out of 70 I had lost. Don't be me!

Hey all! It's over! I really enjoyed going back to school and I wanted to take one of those condensed spring/summer classes, but they are all 4 hours each and I don't think I can sit that long at the end of my pregnancy like that, so I am forced to take an extended break. So you are stuck with me now!


I did get an A on my last research paper, the big one, and did really good throughout my english class.

Last night was the big one. I took my American Politics Exam and with the curve I got an A+. I almost peed my pants when he showed me my paper as I was walking out. That probably will give me my solid A for that class.

Yay Mony! Looking forward to hearing from you more often.

Here is a picture of DD17 & me at a baby shower on Sunday...

Funny (?) story from the shower...

It was a shower for a girl at my part time job. I don't know her that well but the shower was at my SIL's house so she told me I had to attend.

Well....we played a baby name game where you take the parents' names and think of a baby boy name starting with each letter. Well....the mom to be read her list and one of the names was Damien. I say out loud and clear "Well I like all those names but I'd stear clear of Damien if I were you."

((record scratch))

"That's what we're naming the baby," says mom to be.

"oh" says I...."sorry".

I was horrified that I had offended the poor girl and one of the other attendees tells me the next day that I just said what everyone else was thinking. Still embarrassing...........but maybe she will rethink the name.

Hey, sexy Lexy-Looking great in the picture!
I hate what that dumb movie did to the name Damien. I love Fr. Damien, the priest who devoted his life to caring for lepers on Molokai in Hawaii. DH and I even visited the little museum about him in Waikiki. But Hollywood would never make a movie about someone like that. Just movies about the devil's spawn! I wouldn't name my child that because of the movie. Maybe as a middle name though.

Wooo Hoooty! Hooray for Stacy!

Ok...so I tried on my "one-size down summer capris." These are the ones from 4 years ago that I just love and can't bear to get rid off.

I am hoping I can get into them in 6 weeks for WDW. I am guessing I am 7-10pds. away. Sprinkle some dust my way please!!!

I went to JambaJuice with DH today. turns out, I ordered the drink with THE MOST calories-PB Moo'd, 16 oz. 530 calories Better than a fast food milkshake, and tasted like a Butterfinger, but then I had to have salad for dinner. Oh well, live and learn!

 

[Eventer98]

down 1.5pds!

My scale is kooky but it is showing a loss, for the most part, each week so I will take it. Had that .5pd loss yesterday AM. Showed a 1pd gain before my shower. Showed a total of a 1.5pd loss after my shower. It's a new digital. Oh well. I hope it's accurate!!!

I hope all you Peeps have a great Friday! For some reason this weekend is taking a long time to get here. Supposed to go to DH's parents for Mother's Day Sunday. I think I have bailed out every year so far. I should go this year. It's just another day and I shouldn't let it bring me down. I don't consider his mom a "second mom" at all and will never call her mom. Hope she isn't expecting that. If I go then I can see SIL again. Two days in one week!! What a lucky Peep I am!!

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING, ALL!!!

Quick fly by post....overslept. Went out with the girls last night and didn't get to bed til 11! I know....that's not late for most peeps but it is for me.

FIDGE I know you are out there! You posted on "another thread"

BEE Hope to be able to talk to you this weekend!! Thinking of you!! BEE Positive -

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

I gained 0.6 lb this week. This brings me to a grand total of 25.2 pounds lost since the beginning of the year (I just barely was able to keep my 25 pound bling), and an uber-grand total of 49.2 pounds lost since April 2005 in about 9 non-consecutive months.

Not my best week, but not my worst either. I had a dinner meeting for work on Wednesday that I am sure got the best of me. The pork chops and baby red potatoes weren't really terrible for me, but the jalapeno poppers and beer probably didn't help matters out at all. Now that the weather is taking a turn for the better up here, I hope to get out for at least a 1/2 hour walk every day this week.

Good luck to all on their weigh-ins!

 

[monymony3471]

Hi!!!! I'm back! I know you all missed me so much, huh! I'm now going to bed because I'm on pain killers that are knocking me for a loop. I think I've cracked the code on how to loose weight on the dining plan!!

Welcome back! Can't wait to hear about the trip.

This is the way I look right now! I thought I would do a quick check in before going to bed. I have missed everyone and feel way out of touch. I think this May has topped December as far as business! Madison has 20 girls spending the night tomorrow for her birthday. After that all night we have a youth cookout on Saturday. I am helping "preach/teach" our Mother's Day services. And the list continues on and on and on.......

So are Heather and all of them still gone?

20??? Yikes! Good luck!

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO! WTG

I needed something to celebrate.

Morning. Thanks for the nice comments. It's nice to be missed.

I'm so out of the loop though.

Lexy: You look so good in your picture. You are doing awesome.

 

[Sparkie]

I just love my PeePs!

Thanks for the pick me up and the cyber

I'm not giving up. I just think I'll wait a week or two before I get on the scale again. I write down what I eat but I never thought of also including emotional triggers. I know a big one is when I dont get enough sleep- I carb load hoping for that carb coma. Its a really bad habit. I agree healthy choices and some me exercise time. Well over due. Mom's taxi service is on shutdown for a while.

OH! Guess what!? I ran into a high school friend of mine. I have seen her from time to time usually at w-mart. Well, I found out that she has a membership at the gym that I joined in Jan and havent been utilizing to its max potential- so I'm excited to have an exercise friend close by. She has lost 20#.

I told my friend about ya'll. She may be interested in coming in Sept- if she is off that weekend and if we have room.

So see- I'm not giving up- just had to wait for God to point me in the right direction- w-mart of all places- I have a new excitement for exercise and I get to catch up with my friend.

Prom tonight and ballet recital tomorrow.

And to all my fellow peeps a big to you and may you feel lifted up as well-
