In Search of my Body...Not The One I ate...#3 "Crowning Goddesses As We Go"

Fast catch up -
Kids all look cute for Halloween - love the Boardwalk pics esp...

Just posted on my trip report a summary of Baylor - please read if you want to know it all -

He is not good today - worse than yesterday - we are heading back to burn unit again - they may have to in-patient him at this point - he needs to walk but is in soo much pain all he does is cry the second his foot dangles...blood pressure and all on his burns...this is my non crier - he is the tough one and seeing him cry makes me hurt and soo mad..I just want to punch something right now...

I am up 2 pounds...not eating well...Baylor needs tons of animal protein to have the skin grow back - veggie protein not the same I guess...so peanut butter not as good as a burger...

Treyner is home with me today to help with Baylor - the HS is letting him be here - giving him homeowrk and all...it is impossible for me to lift Baylor - he weigh 115 and is my height and I need to look into getting help for physical therapy cause I can't take it with him...making him do something that I know he is hurting about is sooo hard...I also think a third party he will not feel the need to push back against as hard as he does with me....

He is to the point of frusteration - he struggles to do anything because of his hand being wrapped as well as his leg...he is an independent kid..always has wnted to do his own coat etc since he was 2...Treyner is being excellent with him...pushing him...challenging him..telling him to stop saying can't...

They doubled his pain meds...which makes him pass out...so then he can't walk either - we can't seem to find a balance...

Okay - sorry for the short post - try an d get on later or tom...

:hug: Dawn. Big big :hug:. I'm so sighing. I'm so sorry Dawn. Thinking about you all.
 
Paula - Glad to hear that it's a bit better. Frustrating, eh?


It's going to be 68 here today and full sun. Nice. I'm not off until tomorrow. Hopefully, the sun and temps will follow. It's lovely.
 
Hey Ladies,

Dawn- :hug: and :goodvibes and continued prayers.

Erika- Sounds like you are having a blast!

Steph-hope you are still feeling better.

:hug: to everyone!

I just got back from VOTING! I was so excited to vote. probably the most excited since 1996 which was the first big deal election I could vote in. here's to hoping Florida doesn't screw up this time and that we'll know who won tonight.

Also got the windows tinted in the corolla, found some great sales on shoes for DD and got a couple things at target while I waited for the car. we walked from the tinting place to the stores so that was some exercise, and I also got my butt out of bed this morning and did 3 miles on the dreadmill. I was supposed to do 45 minutes of run/walk intervals, but the DM seems to be really aggravating my shin pain, so I ended up walking alot, which made me mad. But it's still a WO, it's another 3 miles, and more calories burned. I wish I could bottle some of the race day adrenaline for use on non race days.

So, I am just chillin' for awhile.

Amy
 
Dolls -

Spoke to Erika. She is having fun, drunk, I must admit. Last day of vacation!

I, too, was so excited to vote. I will be on tonight (parkerluce) drinking and eating and watching results. (So be warned if you IM me, I might be slaphappy.) Tomorrow I am back to myself, but tonight I am all red, white, and blue, and so happy to be part of my nation, win or lose.

xoxo to all and big hugs to Dawn.
 

Hey all...

Resident Boozer checking in here....Just got back from a beer run, and ended up with some blueberry beer. So Yummy.

I am still on a high from voting. Everytime I think about how lucky we are to be able to vote (especially as a woman), I totally get chills. So awesome.

Just a warning, there may be some drunk posting later.

cheers,Amy
 
SO - I made a deal with myself. Which is much like saying I made a deal with the devil! :crazy2: I was going to have ONE SMALL glass of wine...(in exchange for Friday night, which was a *planned* night to indulge...)....ummm hmmmm.....:drinking1 ...the bottle is now empty. :scared1: I didn't drink it ALL myself...we split it. So much for a SMALL GLASS! :rolleyes1...so Amy....I beat you to the drunken posting...

AIM anyone? :confused3


Nancy - I'd find that whole back tracking to check on my annoying too.

Yeah, but I'd get lost trying to find my way out of a paper bag...so...:rolleyes1


thanks for the kind words on the being happy vs. being satisfied debate... (and for the amazing woman comments... too sweet....:goodvibes ) that is so much better said than my words that I am stealing it and taking it as my own...

I am happy with my progress but I am not yet satisfied with the end result...

What a great statement.... I feel empowered now....

Love you Nancy....:hug:

Paula

eh - that's what friends are for, right? To boost each other up - and call it like we see it! :thumbsup2

It's a subtle, yet signifcant difference...don't you think? I am HAPPY that I don't weigh as much I used to, but when I put on 5 pounds...well...I guess that I'm not really UNHAPPY...but...dis-satisfied? The 5 pounds is enough that my clothes don't fit the same, so I don't FEEL the same and I think that becomes reflected in my moods & attitudes


Happy Election Day to you all!!!

And may the best black man win!!!:rotfl: :lmao: ;)

Couldn't resist. :rotfl:

I know I shouldn't joke on election day.......

Either way - there is history in the making here in the U.S....either the first black male President or the first female Vice...:)


Lisa - thanks for asking about my back... it is still a bit sore, but much better than yesterday.

Glad you are feeling better Paula! :goodvibes

Just posted on my trip report a summary of Baylor - please read if you want to know it all -

He is not good today - worse than yesterday

Dawn - my prayers are with Baylor, and your whole family....please keep us up to date - and know that when things get tough (as we know they will) we will understand and empathisize with you - unload at will....:grouphug:

I realized oh crap today is tuesday Nov.4. I have a field trip to go on!

WHOOPS! Sounds like something I would do! :scared: Glad you made it in time...and had fun as well! I totally agree though - riding the bus with those kids is pure torture!!!


Hmmm...more to say...but once again...I've forgotten. :rolleyes: Got one ear on the tv reporting, so I'm a bit distracted :laughing:
 
In case anyone is wondering...Wild Blue Blueberry Lager totally rocks. I have had 1.5 of them and have a buzz like you wouldn't believe. 8% alc/vol.

Nancy, as long as you shared the wine, it's fine. After tonight I am cutting myself off from all drinks except water and my morning coffee until friday night, which is when I get to go out of town with My BFF to visit another friend. And after this weekend, I am going to try to cut myself off until thanksgiving.

Have I mentioned on here I am running a 1/2 marathon on thanksgiving weekend?? :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

where do I download AIM??
 
Hey all! I'd love to AIM, but guess what I am doing? Combing thru Mad's hair. Every little one. For NITS!!! I know!!! The teacher called today. They found 2! I am freaking out! I/we can't have lice!!! Period. Not up for debate.

I am checking in - between putting loads of laundry into hot water.

I just found this out today. Tee Tree Shampoo is a preventative lice thing. If you use it every whip stich, the nits won't find your head hospitable. FYI for you mommies of elementary school agers.

Dawn - we are praying for Baylor and you. Hang in there. Right now it's agony. I am sure you feel so helpless.:hug: :hug:

Listening to the voting. It is very exciting.


Later.

No, I don't recall you sharing that info previously...and Yeah. I've run 2 half's and a whole. As much as I love my liquor...:lovestruc I would totally and completely recommend that you abstain until your race is over. It can have such a negative impact on your training :sad2: ...Tell you what. The martyr in me will drink FOR you, 'K? :laughing:


where do I download AIM??

just go to www.aim.com you should be able to figure it out from there....
 
Lyz: lice??:scared1: :scared1: I got lice in 2002 from my niece. I was so disgusted. And I had NO idea I had them until I went to get my hair cut. talk about embarassing. A truckload of PD:wizard: for getting rid of them.

Nancy: You can totally drink for me after this saturday night. I am assigning you that task. :hug: And after a celebratory beer or two or six after my first 1/2, I will abstain until xmas/NYE since I am running the 1/2 in January.

WHOO BOY! :woohoo: Finally - a task that I am totally up to! :cool1:

We did the 1/2 and full at Disney...so I can sympathize with the "dry" holiday season. It made it easier for me that hubby and I did it together...so we were both sober...made for an interesting Christmas with my family...and NYE without shots? weird. :laughing: But, it was indeed worth it. Loved those races. As a matter of fact - today when we were running I was wondering to myself if DS would be interested in running a 1/2....for me...ANYTHING to get myself to Disney again! :laughing:

Night all....got a few "kid" things to take care of before it's "lights out"...
 
ok, so I have an AIM name now...amykab2003..
 
just go to www.aim.com you should be able to figure it out from there....


I'm so laughing at myself this morning. Look at me....all buzzed and cocky - tryin' to give out technical advice! :rotfl:

forgot to post my food....it was a good day for me - other than the 1/2 bottle of wine..:headache:

off to work out....gotta detox my system a bit...
 
Nancy - lol, that is funny. YOU should not be giving techinical advice. That's like me explaining how to make goats milk soap.:teacher:

So, no lice, just the nits. I have the hee-bee gee-bees bad. And what really tics me off is I was on the "do not lice" list. I even paid the mofia to not get lice. EVER!

The election is over. I am a republician, so, eh, not so excited. But to you Obama supporters, congratulations!

I have to take job materials to a jobsite 3 hours away today (ONE WAY), so I won't be on. Much. lol.

Later Ladies. Oh, and I think I have lots to say about all that went on here yesterday, but I'll have to do that when I have more time.
 
SO I voted for the VERY FIRST TIME yesterday! I was pretty excited!
I felt kinda stupid because I had to have them show me a few times how to work that machine .... it's kinda complicated!

AS for food!
Breakfast - skipped because of field trip
Lunch- Grilled cheese small bag of mini pringles 11 points
Dinner- a bowl (1 cup) of beef stew (home made) a glass of milk and two popovers. 11 points
snack a BIGGY IGGY ( ice cream sandwich) 14 points

Over in Points by 6! Still have 26. points still extra for the week!

OH exercise I raked the side yard and carried all the leaves and dumped them in the back! My arms are sore along with my back.

As yesterday we went to get my mothers lawn mower and sweeper and stephen (in a Hurry) was trying to load the riding lawn mower and the sweeper on to the trailer all at once and of course he never tightened the ramps and guess what! Him the lawn tractor and the sweeper took a dive off the trailer! It was only a two foot drop three at the most but when you are on a lawn tractor that weighs about 600 pounds It is HUGE. He managed to push it as they fell and didn't break anything on him or the tractor. He is sore from his groin to his back! But he went hunting after so I think he will be fine!
Ok off to eat breakfast!
AMy~ I added you onto my AIM list mine is snuffy1991
 
Nancy - lol, that is funny. YOU should not be giving techinical advice. That's like me explaining how to make goats milk soap.:teacher:

I know, right?? :rotfl2: Give me a glass of wine (or 3...) and all of a sudden I'm an EXPERT! :confused3


So, no lice, just the nits. I have the hee-bee gee-bees bad. And what really tics me off is I was on the "do not lice" list. I even paid the mofia to not get lice. EVER!

sheesh. You just can't TRUST some people! :lmao:

The election is over. I am a republician, so, eh, not so excited.


Me too. :sad2: But hey - I still think it's amazing that we can all have different opinions, and be able to express them freely without being thrown into jail, shot, exiled....pretty awesome. :thumbsup2

:yay: :yay:

I felt kinda stupid because I had to have them show me a few times how to work that machine .... it's kinda complicated!

In Connecticut we now have Optical scanners - so you fill in little circles on your ballot - like taking the SAT's...then slide the paper into the machine...it sucks it in and reads it...(I *think* it must be magic....:rotfl2: )


Just did a half-hearted weight workout....a bit groggy from the wine last night...:headache: ...now it's off to work. Have a great, HEALTHY CHOICE filled day everyone!

Food for yesterday:
B: nothing
L: cup of broccoli soup and spinach side salad (Applebees)
D: 1 bag ff popcorn (200) and 5 wings (180), 2 pints beer.
