Hi Guys - sorry i've been lurky mclurkster again
Bruces grandfather had been doing terribly the past few weeks, at home in hospice. He lost his fight this morning....
BrcsDisneyPrncs, sorry about your loss. Hope you found a way home, if that's what you wanted.
Things are calm here today. Case worker from hospice came and saw my dad. He is mainly just staying in bed. Ate a couple bites of oatmeal and jello and is drinking more so thats good... DH is at work and will be home at 11... He is bringing me in a job app for his company, so we will see what that holds... Frankly I don't care as long as I am on the same shift as him. I did really well with weight this week. I lost 3.8 lbs this week! I've also already hit my monthly goal of 7 lbs! I've lost 7.8 lbs this month. At least there is a silver lining on my cloud. Now I just need to keep it off for the month and anything I lose is just extra to my goal. My DH has noticed I've been in better spirits since I've been home from work. I think a lot has to do with him being on the night shift. I love having even just a couple hours with him before he goes to work and I like sleeping at the same time as him. I hope everyone had a good week!
Thank you again for all the good wishes.
Sarah
Congrats on staying on track. Thats one less worry right now. Thinking of you.
QOTD: Can a guy have a TOM???
Guys totally have TOM. I read somewhere that men's hormones fluctuate as much as women's
What? I thought for men it was ALWAYS TOM.
Like with every 5 pounds lost you try something new in the boudoir...or maybe only eat the foods you can eat off the other person...I am sure your partner would not want crumbs in the most sensitiive of crevices so a nice peach or pear would ensure good choices and gentle cleaning...
...and soon enough your body will crave excersize...
Sounds like sexersize to me. Dawn, you're a cruel taskmaster.
I am not feeling too terribly well today... I ate out yesterday for lunch and am wondering if something in there was a bit off.
Dawn/Dan, y'all are too cute. And I definitely have been in the fat camp coma before!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Well, maybe you'll get food poisoning. That'll be good for a couple pounds.
Fat Camp Coma - this is me every other day.
So, then I had been home for maybe 5 minutes, when the kids come in the house screaming and hysterical. DD 5 ran over the dog with her
scooter. (The dog is a toy breed and all of about 9 pounds.) I check the dog, see what is clearly her leg BONE and call the vet. Closed at 2pm. (only 15 minutes before, of course). The service says that the vet use in case of emergency is the one that is like 45 minutes away. Tried the vet in the next town over (that would be Wells, SG) and just 5 minutes from my house. They are also closed but have emergency hours, so they tell me to bring her right in. Meanwhile, the kids have been holding the dog the whole time, trying to take care of her and keep her calm...and end up with dog blood all over their shirts, etc. More freaking out. Finally get to the vet...where she still is...and it looks like she will be fine. She has MAJOR road rash and will need stitches in a few areas, but nothing is broken and no internal injuries. *sigh* And now I am exhausted.
On the bright side...it is 4pm, which is cocktail hour in this house...and I have only had about 400 calories so far today....
Hope everyone is enjoying this spring day!
Erica!!!!! Oh the Drama. Poor little pooch. Post a picture for us.

My day has been calm. Just fighting this horrendous cold. I have been sleeping on the couch every night because my hacking gets so bad and keeps hubby awake. Finally, at some point, usually 5am, I wake up and realize I haven't coughed for a while and actually got some sleep. SO, then I head to bed.
We were working on the hog pen today. Lifting up metal sheeting into the roof of the pen and snapping it into place. It was chilly and pretty windy. (My face is wind burnt.) I would hold one end, up on a ladder, dd12 holding up middle, on a ladder and dh other end placing and screwing metal. My fingers in the air would get so tired. And at some point they started tingling. I suppose from draining all the blood, putting my arms down and it coming back. Putting them up again. What I am trying to get at, is 7 hours later, my fingers are still tingeling. Is that weird or normal? Opinions anyone?
I'd like one more opinion if anyone wants to weight in on this. My dd12 is going to get a tetnus shot before 6th grade conservation camp in a couple weeks. I think I'll get the HPV vaccation for her then also. Dawn, did you do this for Carsyn? Anyone have anything to add?
Later
Thankfully

I've talked with both my peditrician and my own ob/gyn and both have without hesitation said my DD12 should get this vaccination at her next physical. Typically neither my ped. nor I are in favor of rushing into relatively "untested" vaccines, but this one is a must-have for us. 
(I think that speaks volumes about our character....
