I tryed to think about this but i gave me a headache!!! We havnt altered our clocks yet!

Hows Janine doing?

I ran for 10 mins today on the TM longest i've done
Thinking about all you joggers made me keep going

 

[kimwim8]

GO TRACY!!! You're a jogger too!! Don't strain your brain with the time change stuff. I'm not losing any sleep at night over it.

Janine's hangin' in there. She's back out of labor & delivery (she gets moved there anytime she bleeds) and she's able to get up & out of bed to use the potty! It's the little things that excite her right now. She's 28 weeks today!!!

Marie - sure I'll help you pack! Just fly me down there & put me up and feed me - and I'm SO there!!

I tried to post last night, but my internet went down. I picked up my older sister after work (yesterday) and she stayed with my kids while I went outside for a run. I definitely prefer to run in the morning with an empty stomach and with not being exhausted already from working all day. But anyway...I ran and it was a GREAT run. I even extended the last running segment by an extra 5 minutes because I found myself in the zone. My legs were a little sore last night when I finally settled down for the night, but it was worth it!

Right now, I'm thinking I might run tomorrow morning, since I go into work late...but we'll see. If not I might just run Saturday morning and call it a week with 2 runs.

Went to Target tonight after work. Why do I do it to myself? I tell myself I'm only going in for shoes for Em, and I walk out over a hundred dollars later with 7 bags.

 

[kmp1191]

Hey kimmy!!! That's why I try to stay away from Target!! (& Kohls!!)
Good job on running! You are starting to inspire me to get my butt back out there...next week though....honestly!

Have a great evening!
marie

Oh...and great news about Janine....we're still prayin' for her!

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Kim
Sounds pretty good - 7 bags worth for $100
Good news about Janine
maybe...just maybe i will try running outdoors, think i will wait till i can jog for a bit longer though

 

[kimwim8]

Hi Kim
Sounds pretty good - 7 bags worth for $100

Oh Tracey....you silly, silly girl. Yes 7 bags for $100 isn't bad. But I think I said "over" a hundred dollars. It was actually MUCH closer to $200!!

 

[goldcupmom]

Glad Janine & baby are still hanging in there! I went into labor at 26 wks with DD & it's VERY scary. They ended up inducing only 10 days early. I can't imagine the bleeding! Still praying!

Glad you got a couple runs in. This time change is wreaking havoc on me!

I, too, avoid Kohls & Target as they are WAY too dangerous on the pocketbook!

Have a GREAT weekend! Hope you get a run or 2 in!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

hey kimmmmm
Happy Friday buddy

Im laying here watching my 2nd movie of the night (very productive) so figured i would say hi..i know you have a busy weekend, but try to relax a little bit!!

By the way, i get 10 days off in april-we may have to do something (alambama slammers? )

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Kim,

Hope you have a great weekend! I may have a couple of ideas for how you can surprise your kids with your WDW trip.... I'll try to PM you in a couple of days. Take care!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey all. Just a quick post tonight.

DD is sick. Stayed home with a fever & nasty cough. MIL came over to help me out by staying with her for a few hours this afternoon so I could go into work. I brought some work home to do tonight, but I'm just BEAT! No running happened again today. I'm getting majorly frustrated with that. If Em goes back to school tomorrow (which I'm doubting) then I'll walk at lunch.

**A proud mommy moment happened today...she swallowed an advil!! She's normally horrible about chewing or taking liquid meds...so I asked her dr. this morning if she's old/big enough to start learning to swallow pills. He said she can have one advil. So I did the old pill-in-the-applesauce trick & she did it! (I didn't really trick her, she knew it was in there) But I'm just SO proud of her. I might have ended our medicine fueds once & for all!

Janine's hangin in there. Had a quiet weekend, which is wonderful for her!

And yet again, I'm back on the eating good bandwagon. I'm getting sick of myself again (why do I feel the need to binge?) and it's about time I do something about it before summer hits & I can't fit in my shorts. I'm not gonna journal my food, but I will post whether I stayed on track or not and how much water I got in. That's the big thing for me right now.

So for today: I stayed on track for all of my meals, but had a few bites of the kids' mac & cheese . Water = 80 oz.

Tracy, I'd love to hear any suggestions you have!

 

[kimwim8]

Here's my girl. A little under the weather, but she got her new glasses today! For those of you who thought she looked like me before....she's my TWIN now! She was SO excited to get these. She sees them as a fashion accessory!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Kim,

Sending some get well for your DD. I hope she is feeling better today. She looks cute in her new glasses!

I sent you a PM with some suggestions for your WDW surprise.... I had a lot of them a couple of days ago, but I have forgotten what most of them were.

Hope you have a great day!

 

[kmp1191]

How's it going chickie??
Hope "mini-me" (mini-you?) is feeling better!
I know kids can sometimes resemble a parent, but my gosh....that's scarey!!

Have a great week...call if you need anything....or better yet...just come on down....mix up some alabama slammers for me!!

marie

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Em looks adorable!!

Now if you are going to maries for some alabama slammers, can i come !? Marie, ill be good, promise

Hope you are having a good night!

 

[kmp1191]

C'mon on down!!
Party in Memphis!!
After the work is done of course!!

hey....Kim....what's goin' on?

marie

 

[kimwim8]

Hey all! Nothing much going on here. Em went back to school today. Which means I didn't have to use up all of my accrued vacation time quite yet.

My food has been really good and my water too. I'm still completely disgusted and mad that I can't get out there running...but I know that I'll still do it over the weekend and come April, the mornings should be brighter so that I can get out there before work. One thing at a time, I guess.

Thanks so much guys for checking in! Marie, don't tempt me with coming down for slammers (I have no idea how to make them). You know that we're looking for somewhere to go for our anniversary.... Think Jay would go for it?

Tracy, thank you so much for the ideas!! I almost spilled the beans this morning when DD decided to cry about the fact that she isn't going to WDW until 2008. She broke my heart (and made me realize how SPOILED my kids are )Thanks again!! Oh, and our flight out is at 12:30pm. They won't be able to go to school that morning, but I might be able to take them out to run errands or something that morninng while DH loads up the van.

Have a GREAT rest of the week, guys. I hope you're all doing well.

 

[kmp1191]

Airport...no more than 30 minutes....
when ya comin?

 

[kimwim8]

Hey all. Today was pretty good. Got a nice walk in at lunch (it was in the low 60's today! ) and food went well, until dinner. I had a sandwich. I'm over it.

Worst part about today....day 2 of DD back to school & her glasses are already broke!! Gotta leave work early tomorrow to pick her up and take her back to the eye dr. so they can hopefully save the glasses. Pray for me people....or better yet, pray for her.

I'm also starting to stress about work. I'm getting everything done that needs to be done, but I also need to bid on my own job in the very near future. I'm nervous that someone else can come in & take my job away. So again, pixie dust...prayers...whatever ya got!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Glasses are broken? o geez..for both of your sakes i hope they are fixed easily!!!!!

Dont stress --things will all work out..

and if youre getting on plane, call me, ill meet ya there

 

[kmp1191]

Try not to stress about the job...i'm sure everything will be fine...i'l be prayin' for ya!!
As for Em's glasses....my DS had glasses for a week....then broke them...took them in...got replacements...and within a month they were lost!! Of course the last time we had his eyes checked they were fine....only color blind! Go figure....(different eye doctor too!!)

Get another walk in tomorrow....it'll help w/ the stress!

have a good day tomorrow....I'm off work, but i'll be thinkin' about ya!
