Hello everyone!

Thanks for all the wonderful words about DS and GF. They do look nice together.

Bekki, you are right. No matter where they are, weddings are expensive.

Jamie, it was the same show. I just about feel over when they told how much her total bill was. But I did love the mad hatter tea party they had. The cake was so cool.

Jamie, Yep--I told him he needed to start now, since he has plans, even tho he really doesn't have the fiancee! lol Your DD can start saving now as well, since by the time she is ready, I am sure the prices we see now will be tripled!

Thanks Julie and Jennifer. I did do well yesterday, until the 4 fries I sneaked from DD when her and DH came to see me at work. It did fulfill my cravings, for about a minute!

Goodness Tracey! $8! I was whinning about 3.25! Crazy. You have to what you have to do, and that is the jist of it. And you know, I am sure we were as lovely at our wedding anyhow!

Today is going to have to be a walk in between the rain, since DH still has not re-balanced the treadmill. Pooch loves it tho. I went to a different store to work last night, and boy was I bored. I have to go there again tonight. I hope there is at least a basketball game or something at the high school down the street so I can at least feel like I have earned my pay!

I skipped breakfast--which is something I do often, and I know I shouldn't, but life just gets in the way and I like to sleep until I have to be up. Since I went to bed at 3 this morning, because I didn't get home from work until 220am, I was still up before 9 am. I sure will be tired tonight there because I have to there til after 2 am again. Oh well, I have tomorrow off and can catch up with it all then. Sure, nice to think so!

I believe I hear DH coming in. I should catch up on the other journals so we can have a nice and quiet lunch together!

Thanks so much everyone for stopping by and letting me return the chatting. It reallys brings a smile to my face to see that you are here for me. Like an extended family! Thanks!

Till tomorrow!

Wendy

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for stopping by to say hello. I've been so bad about posting regularly since work has kept me super busy. I'm still keeping a journal though, I just keep a notebook at my desk & it's easier for me to write things down as I think of them.

Hope you are doing great

Becky

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Wendy
Hope you managed to get your walk.
What job do you do??
I'd hate to work nights!! Hope you catch up on some sleep.

 

[mabenoab]

Hi Wendy:

You are so good about getting your exercise! For some of us (I speak only for myself, really) a treadmill in need of repair is a free pass to sit on the DisBoards! But a walk in the rain...now thats dedication! Good for you!

Have a great night at work tonight, I hope you keep plenty busy! I think one of the up sides of working nights must be that you're able to have lunch with your dh! Thats pretty nice.

Beth

Hello Everyone!

Today was a wonderful day with the sun out and shinning. I have the windows open and fans going! Pooch loved the AM walk we went on! Great girl.

Hmmm...I never thought of that Beth! But you are right! I should have thought about all those things I need to do without having to try to exercise too! And I do enjoy having our quiet lunches together. With his schedule, we are always able to do something once a week. He's a college professor.

Tonight I don't work, and tomorrow I go back on working 8-6 and 11-8. Yeah!
Tracey, I work at Burger King as a manager. Have been doing it since before DS--who is 18--was born! For the last few years, I haven't worked nights. But, with my health better, I have been doing it to help train and 'repair' at different stores. Tomorrow I am still covering for a store manager that is on vacation. Then next week I have days with 2 covering for another store manager again. It keeps me busy, and I hope it is keeping me young. I sometimes say with all the traveling they have me do, I am not sure it is a compliment or a punishment! Well, they keep me in vacations! And I did catch up on sleep this morning. Was very nice!


Becky! I have had to do the notebook to keep track of meals. Otherwise it just won't get done!

Today was a busy day again. Tonight is DS's last high school band concert. (big sigh) I am going to try to record it so that DH is able to see it. He has to teach tonight.

Off to make sure I have everything! Catch up tomorrow!

Wendy

 

[bekkiz]

How bittersweet, the last high school concert. Wish him luck for us, and I hope you enjoy every minute of it

I hope your day off is super fun and relaxing, and that work the next few days isn't too crazy! Take care

 

[dabute]

Hi Wendy,

Just stopping by to say hello. Thank you for all you support in my journal. It means a lot.

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Wendy
hope the concert went well!
Have a great weekend

 

[DisDee]

Hi Wendy, I haven't checked in for awhile, so I want to WISH you a Happy Mother's Day. Enjoy! Denise

 

[goldcupmom]

Happy Mother's Day, Wendy! Hope the concert was wonderful!

Take some time for YOU this week!

 

[tbstein]

Hello!

Boy, the concert was wonderful! Had a friend record it onto DVD so we will have it forever!

Bekki--yep--it is sad and yet exciting. I was so glad to see that they played well. DS also played with the orchestra cuz they needed a bit of percussion. He played wonderfullY! And, thank goodness work was ok today. A bit boring actually, as fast food isn't the choice on mother's day. Saturday shopping with family was nice. Got DD her 5th grade promotion outfit. Yeah! Went to Panera's for dinner. Had salad and DH had salad too! He is so sweet! My mother's day was great!

Jennifer! Oh you bet! It helps me as well when I log on and see how everyone is doing. Keeps me on the healthy end of life!

Tracey--oh--the concert was great. I wish everyone could hear it. They played a Titanic melody with the strings, and it was very haunting. I did enjoy their marching piece, even tho they don't march! It was very well done. A few missed notes, but those clarnets can be noisey!

Denise! SO great to hear from you! I like stopping by! Good to know I am not the only busy woman in the world!

Julie--sent you a wave. You are so busy, I don't know how you do it. I have a DH that helps SO much, I could never get thru a day without him, but please, don't let him know. He would just gloat!

Had a nice mother's day. Even after working 10 hours. It was a bit boring. NIce for a change. Did get all the extra stuff I am to do done while there. I just behind on training paperwork and manager-trainee books. Pretty much all caught up today. Reviews are done, and off to the district manager. Yeah!

Well, I did good with diet today, it helped that DH and DD made a wonderful dinner and a desert that fits into the new life style. I did have a piece of chocolate--Giradelli dark chocolate square. Yum! I didn't get to walk today. Just didn't work out. Did think about going about 8:30 tonight, but the sky looked terrible. Still waiting on the magic fairy to fix the Treadmill. Guess she is busy! I know I sent her to fix a few scales for someone. You would think she would come back!

OH! finished the plans for DS's grad gift! WDW from AUg 12 to Aug 17 with his best bud! His family is paying for airfare and giving them each $100 to spend. DH and I paid for all but one day of the package. They are staying at POP with dining plan and park hoppers and extra. They will have a blast. DS didn't want a party for grad--gave him the option. He wanted WDW. That's my boy! I also did ressies for them since they are on the dining plan. Cape May Cafe, Boma's, O'Cellier, Morocco (my children have never shyed away from unique foods ) and of course, Princess Breakfast at Norway. Hey, DS wanted to do it. I think he likes to have his pic taken with all those cute girls! And he will show all his friends the pics! They have magical express, so I won't worry about that. They will use the bus system and have a blast. I wish I could go, but this trip is for them. The sacrifices we do!

I am off to other journals!

Hi Wendy!!

Glad to hear you had a great Mother's Day! Hope you got lots of love & hugs. Happy also that the concert went well...I imagine the last few months of senior year can be a little tough on Mom...I know they will be for me. Next year.

A graduation gift trip to WDW...awesome!! I won't tell my DS or he'll be dropping hints! that your DS wants the Princess Breakfast so he can look at the pretty girls. Sounds like my son, too! One of his favorite meals on the last trip was the Cinderella breakfast, and he sure did sparkle when Snow White came round.

Hey, I thought you were doing awesome with your diet before, but now that I know you work at Burger King, you really do deserve a round of applause!! I'd be stuffing my face with so many Whopper Jrs with cheese. You go, girl! Keep up the great work.

Beth

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for sending the scale fairy, I hope she sticks around my place for a few days. I really need her!!! And I don't want to share

What a great way to celebrate graduating.....going to WDW. That is awesome! You raised your boy right, no party, just WDW!!!!!

You are doing a great job, keep it up

Have a great day

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Wendy
What a great grad gift for your DS, i would love to be a fly on the wall when he does the princess breakfast
We want pics!!
Glad the concert was great, i love strings, the titanic one sounds lovely!!
Have a great week

 

[Jaime]

Hey Wendy...

You have been doing so well with your weight and exercise...

What a great gift for your DS's grad...they have a blast...especially with all those princesses...my db was so jealous that he didn't go to CRT's with us last time.

Keep up the good work!

 

[mabenoab]

Hey busy lady! Hope all is well with you & yours!! Just checking in to send you some good vibes !

Beth

 

[tbstein]

Hi everyone!

Yep, been busy. Life has been good. Did do a dish of ice cream yesterday. Just vanilla and a small one. So, the guilty bug isn't as big as it could be! Today I had a banana instead!

Beth, you are so right. He wants to make his friends jealous. He plans on taking lots of pictures of the princesses with him and his bud just to show them off to their friends. I will certainly have to post a pic of that! And, your DS's pic with his gf is lovely! Did they have a great time? It will be so much more exciting next when they are seniors, not to mention more hectic for you! But so worth it! I promise not to email your ds about the trip. We got such a deal, that to throw a decent open house would be just a bit less. I really wish I was going, but ya know, he's 18 and doesn't need an adult to go anymore! Darn! And thanks for the kudos with diet. It can be very hard at a fast food joint. I haven't even a sandwich in over 16 months there. I do have salads, and grilled chicken alot. It is a bit boring, but it works! Plus, all the diet coke I want!

Jamie, keep the scale fairy as long as you need! Maybe she has friends we can send to everyone else! I am so glad he choose WDW. He is a good kid. I thought it was a great way to end public school before going to college. Oh, to be young again!

Tracey! I think my ds has a secret crush on Jasmine, and is plotting to do away with Aladdin. I think it's because of her costume. Or the long gourgeous hair. I am sending him with lots of disposible cameras expecting lots of pics. I probably won't get any! I will share tho!

Jamie! Only with a princess does this side of boys come out. How can anyone pass up CRT? In a castle no less!

I am off to catch up on all else! I have about enough time to do that, walk the dog, and go to work.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Wendy

 

[bekkiz]

What a fun grad gift! Your DS is a lucky kid, and I can't wait to see the pics.

I hope your weekend is going well. You certainly are doing an AWESOME job w/ diet and exercise. You should be proud
