Wow. Sounds like an awesome concert!! I've never been a huge Bon Jovi fan, but I'm sure in concert they are great. I'm with ya on the Doughtry thing. yummy yummy.

Nice weigh in today, girl! Are you weighing in once a week? I like the ticker idea. Accountability is a dangerous thing. I should get one of those going after my trip next week. In fact, I think I will.

Good luck with all of the photo shoots this weekend. Are you doing these on your own now and not through that other business?

 

[kmp1191]

No....these were all through the boss man. That's ok though...still a money making weekend for sure!
I'm home now and my legs and feet are killing me!! I'm not gonna try to remember what all my food was for the weekend, but I don't think I did too bad.
Not really alot of time to eat on these kinds of weekends....but I did get in PLENTY of water! Trust me!

Ok...I'm gonna go put away some laundry, get the kids fed and bathed, then I'm calling it a night. Not nearly enough sleep this weekend....that's for sure!!

Talk to ya'll soon!
I'll start back logging food and exercise tomorrow.

Nice job on the weight loss, my friend.

I'm totally getting one of those weight loss tickers when I get back.

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Daughtry AND Big and Rich!?! I'm totally jealous!! Did Big and Rich do more than just the one song? I love that Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy song

Sounds like you had a busy weekend! Take it easy this week and enjoy the day job

Great job on the weight loss!

Have a Great Week!!

Sounds like an awesome concert, Marie! Bon Jovi is one of my all time favorites!

Hope you have a great week ahead!

Hi guys!
TSD-the concert was better than I imagined it would be!!
Amber~Big & Rich & LeeAnn Rhimes only played one song each with the group. But one each is better than none!!
Oh, and the day job.... that's another story!! DBoss isn't talking to me, and I think it's hilarious! I'm not going into details, but she kinda screwed me while I was out of town, and I'm not letting on to how ticked I really am....and it's driving her nuts!! She wants me to confront her, and I won't....simply because she is always right....regardless of the approval I got FROM HER before I left. Anyway, I'm not playing into her game and she hates it! She wouldn't even look at me today....and I sit right outside her office!!! Actually, I like it this way....I'm getting a BUNCH of work done!!! (at least she can't gripe at me about that!! )

Ok....so food today.....
b-1 brown sugar pop tart (i was running late)
l- 1 taco, some mexican rice & beans and 3 bites of a burito (DH took me to lunch today. )
d-breakfast burritos (eggs,hashbrowns,soft taco shells,hot sauce) (I did't have anything thawed out and it was almost 8pm )
Exercise - none. see the pattern here? Not gonna lose 15 pounds this way!

DH asked me why I wasn't taking DS walking in the evenings....well....lets see.....
I get home from work at 5:30-6ish. DS and DD haven't even STARTED homework yet. By the time they get started....then fart around for 30-45 minutes....it's usually 7:30 by the time the homework battle ends....usually with someone crying. (it's not that they don't know how to do the work....they would just rather not do it!) Anyway, then dinner has to be done....quickly. By then it's dark, so off to the showers and bedtime at 8:30...that battle is usually done around 9ish. So....there's my exercise...or at least the timeframe around which my exercise would be in. When DH was on days, homework would winding up by the time I got home. Not so much now.

Ok....pitty party over. Hope you enjoyed a day in the life of Marie. It's a never ending party here!

Another weekend shot to he!!~!
I busted my butt cleaning house....top to bottom..inside and out....ceiling fans, baseboards, switchplates, sweeping, mopping, dusting, vacuuming, fresh flowers on the table, decorating above the kitchen cabinets....THE WORKS.....all for an open house THAT NO ONE FRICKIN' CAME TOO!!!!

I'm so sick of this! Something has got to give with this housing market! Oh...and we even dropped the price $10grand!! WTH!!

Ok....food this weekend...nothing healthy!
Friday - I have no idea...we did go out for dinner...I was outvoted and we ended up at Hooters. My family hates me.

Saturday - photo shoot...left the house at 7am...got home at 1....started cleaning and getting ready for open house. Didn't eat until about 8pm...then I inhaled 4 squares of pizza and a large coke(minus the rum)...I didn't realize how hungry I was!

Sunday -
B-3 mini donuts
L-sonic nasty cheeseburger
D-sonic butterfinger blast...much better!!

Exercise - photo shoot saturday morning, nonstop housework saturday afternoon, evening and sunday morning, another last minute photo shoot sunday evening.

My legs are cramping really bad tonight...not NEARLY enough water this weekend!

Ok...gotta download and start working on some pictures...see ya'll later!
Have a great week!

[kmp1191]

It was Monday.
I have Rum.

 

[kimwim8]

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!

Sorry to hear about all the crap that's going on, Marie. You were super-crazy busy this past weekend. What is up with the freakin house market? My Lord.

But listen, don't hate me...but you gotta stop and focus on yourself a little bit too. You can't go that long in between meals (even if you can just stop for a quick sammich or snack). You get way too hungry and then overeat or eat crap that you really aren't even enjoying, you know? I'm just throwing out the tough love that I need myself right now. Just at least make sure you're getting in lots of water when you're busting your butt like that, ok? (end of lecture)

I've missed ya, and I'm glad you enjoyed the party on my journal while I was gone.

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks Kim...I know I can always count on you to NOT sugar coat what I need to be doing. You're right, more water, more eating on a schedule and definately more exercise.
I'll be so glad when school is done. Right now I'm fighting tooth and nail w/ DS12 to get his work done. It's old and I'm tired. I told him if he brings home one more F the tv, computer, Nintendo DS, Wii...all of it will be gone for the summer. I told him he will be reading and working out ALL SUMMER!! The child takes no pride in his work and it drives me crazy!
Anyway, that's an everyday battle here, so I guess I should be used to it by now.

Oh, food today:
B-cinnamon roll
L-1/2 cheeseburger w/ lg coke
D-rum
no...i'm kidding...i won't have rum for dinner....maybe a tuna sandwich or something.
water-none

my life is really sucking right now.

 

[kimwim8]

Thanks Kim...I know I can always count on you to NOT sugar coat what I need to be doing.

You know I speak out of love. Take care and hold on there girl.

 

[kmp1191]

Ok...I just got to get this off my chest. I love my kids dearly. I don't know what I'd do without them....but here lately....THEY ARE DRIVING ME NUTS!! I mean I'm gritting my teeth...EVEN WHEN I'M ASLEEP! They fight ALL the time. You ask them to do something and all you get in return is attitude and argument! They ask a question, the answer is no and they keep on and on and on and on until you just can't take it anymore and you end up yelling at them to do whatever they hell they want to just to get them away from you! They are breaking me down to a quivering, spineless glob of insanity!!
It would be one thing if it were just one of them doing it, BUT IT'S BOTH! DS12 was aggrivating/bullying his sister and her friends down the street and the grandfather of the girls had to jump his butt about it! I thanked the man!! I told him if my kids were disrespectful to ANYONE, then any adult had full authority to discipline them. The grandfather made him apologize to the girls and then sent him home...WHERE MY SON SAID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO ME ABOUT IT!! Then, DD8 gets home and will not take a shower, will not get ready for bed and throws an all out fit when I tell her I'm not making milkshakes! WTH??!!! I can bend over backwards for you but you can't even take a fricking shower??!!
OH, and when I try to discuss the issue from down the street with my wonderful son, he cops an attitude and smarts off to me. Saying that he didn't do anything, it was so-and-so's fault...(there was no one with him!!)Everytime I said something, he had a smart@$$ answer.
That's pretty much when I lost it! Cell phone went flying across the kitchen, dog took cover....(still don't know where he is!) DS got his attitude adjusted REAL quick (my hand is still stinging) and DD ran to get in the shower!

I'm so tired of this. I'm tired of yelling at them all the time. I'm tired of them thinking that it's all about them. I'm tired of being the only one to do anything around this house. I'm fed up with the me,me,me attitudes. I'm sick of the whining. I'm sick of the CONSTANT fighting!

How old do they have to be before you can send them to boarding school? Or better yet, boot camp??!!

Ok...i'm going to bed where I can grind my teeth as I dream peacefully about kids that like each other and get along....yeah, right.

ok....vent over. no need to respond, unless you know of a cheap boarding school.
