Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts - We're still here!

[Debbie6221]

Hi Girls! Just checking in with all of you my 15 minute alloted morning computer check in....lots of new years resolutions to get to! See you tonight!

I'm almost caught up at work - now to go shower, but first just had to check in with my buds!

Tessa - so funny about the washing machines. My washer and dryer are 10 years old, and we were just eyeing the new front loaders. As much as I want those, I do NOT want to spend the money so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my set will hold out for me!

Debbie - too funny that you have allotted time, but I hope it works for you!

I was able to get most of the house cleaned yesterday, with all the decorations down. I still have to tackle the upstairs but first Ally needs to pick up all her junk in her room. It's a never ending battle!

The Christmas tree is still sitting in the foyer to go to the garage. I begged until I was blue in the face, but Jeff couldn't get it outside. So I'll end up hauling it out today, so that will be the last of the Christmas decorations.

Jeff used a Home Depot gift card to get some spotlights for the house - we went with the solar lights, but I don't like them cause they are LED lights, too "white" for me. But at least we don't have to wire them so I guess they'll do for now.

I may check out facebook later today and upload some new pix.

Later! Off to the shower!

Erin - Glad your tooth is better. Did you your wisdom teeth pulled? Which reminds me, I have to head back to the dentist myself now that it's the new year and I can dip into my 2009 coverage. I still have to get a permanent filling for the root canal tooth and then have a "deep-scaling" cleaning done on my gums! WooHoo - what a way to start the new year!

My wisdom teeth started coming through just after i had Chloe and the dentist said they didn't need to come out, however every now and again the gum will swell up as the tooth is pushing it's way through a bit more .. i don't really want them taken out as am not a big fan of the dentist but fed up of this i tell ya!
Oh no poor you not the best start to 2009

I love leaving the park and Mickey standing out at the train station saying goodnight to everyone.

This is 1 of my most treasured memories, the very first time we took Chloe she was 5 and on our first day to MK we stayed and watched Spectromagic and Wishes of course, as i turned the stroller around to walk out she literally crashed in seconds, after returning the stroller i had to carry her (and cj at 5 was not the lightest of children) anyway she was still snoozing as we made our way out with the hundreds of other people to the monorail and we saw Mickey waving goodnight to everyone, she woke up just long enough to see him wave goodbye to "just her" as she saw it and still to this day talks about how Mickey waved goodnight to her .. it was so very special

It is way to easy to hang out with you guys then to do what I need to Kara! But watch out...the texts might start coming! LOL!

Hi debbie I am dis'ing and cleaning. Trying to bothient working so well. Beth went to school today. I am expecting to get a call to pick her up though. She gave me a real good sob story why she shouldn't go but it turned out thAt she just wanted to watch tv.

The washer is in the house but tim decided we need to redo the laundry room. It was the n
Only unfinished room in the house. So we are putting inslulation and a vinyl tile floor. He wants to go with black and white. I'm not too sure. I just want my washed hooked up. Tessa wAshers usually last around 10-15 yes for a top loader. Front loaders are just becomng widely available. That may be the reasons foe some of the trouble.

 

[Debbie6221]

OK maybe I need to give myself 30 minutes in the morning!

 

[Debbie6221]

Oh you can see the kiss goodnight on YouTube......

Cleaning here too. I am going thru Luca's toys and giving the baby toys to my cousins baby. He is getting very upset with me so I just moved them all to the other room and now he doesn't even notice.

Kara- I think I like Epcot because I don't feel rushed I can just walk around and see things and SHOP and have some great food too me that is what vacation is suppose to be oh yeah and now that I know about those frozen slushies that too

Debbie- Don't limit yourself too much. We as parents need a break too and I think about how much down time Mike has at work it doesn't make me feel so bad.


I never did go grocery shopping yesterday so I am going to have it delivered because we are still down to one car Mikes truck should be ready in the AM thank goodness I have felt like a prisioner I haven't been able to get anything done.

My diet and workout routine starts first thing tomorrow morning weigh in and all! I am thinking about buying a tredmill this week too. No Excuses.

OK, I spent waaaaaay too much time on Facebook this morning. Found a couple more high school friends. Amazing how everyone else seems to age, but I don't! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Jillian - I just did a whopping 5 minutes on my elliptical. Only 50 cals burned, but I guess better than nothing, right? One thing I learned after we bought this elliptical - don't go cheap! We got this at Wal-Mart, I think for about $230. It does the job, I know from the last time I used it about 4 times a week and I got up to about 30-40 minutes on it at a time. But it is so NOT smooth like the machines at the gym. I could go to a gym right now and do 20-30 minutes on one of their ellipticals, but I can only do 5 on mine? Who knows, maybe that's a good thing, so I actually get MORE of a workout here at home. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I've been very good today with eating, but I need to drink more water - that's always my downfall. I also need to eat more "free" veggies. I just get so sick of carrots and celery. And I like it to be EASY - no preparing all kinds of stuff.

Ally is next door, finally able to play with other kids, and she goes back to school tomorrow. I'll be glad for her, I know she's been bored at home with me. But today she was playing Rock Band, and practicing guitar to "Wanted Dead or Alive" - and she was singing along. I told her she couldn't use the microphone or I wouldn't get anything done! Of course, it's not because of all my playing on the DIS and Facebook! That's my story......

Well, you get the point!

 

[soontobewed07]

Well I am ignoring my child and since he's not 2 yet I think that is a bad thing, but I cannot watch cars one more time. I might jump off the roof I had about 1/2 cup of white rice today and a few slices of corned beef because that was what was easy and I am not starting anything until tomorrow.

Mike and I are about to kill each other over this car thing because we cannot agree. I think things like power seats are important he thinks that it is not. Well he's not 5'1 and doesn't have to drive it all of the time I DO I am not sure how to get him to budge. I wish I could just go and buy a New car instead of a 2008 with the features I don't want. Me being spoiled

I needed a break to say hi to everyone. I've been knee deep in trying to sort out bills/budgets for the new year. I NEED A DRINK. I think I'm going to settle for a nice shower instead.

I'm back on the weight watchers wagon again. I lost 1.6 lbs last week, but can't take credit as I really did nothing different. I get 26 points a day. Yesterday I consumed 56 Blasted Mexican Eateries!

I need to now do my weekly meal planning. SO I will shower first, get that done and then maybe I will have time to sneak up here and catch up on the 10000000000000 posts I'm behind on.

Hope all of you are doing very well! It is a cold nasty day here. Very blah - wintery.

Well, the washer repair man came today, and my washer has a bad controller board! Anyway I called Whirlpool, and told them this is BS, and I'm not going to be without a washer for > 10 days. So the board will be delivered Wednesday, and the service man will be there too. I think I'm going to have that drink with all of you too. Hey Deb, I'm sending you an email about the facebook thing.
