Marie, did you forget to take your ritalin?

BTW, ref the hot water heater, dont forget you get a 300$ tax credit for certain high efficiency ones, and they dont cost 300$ more. (they may not tell you this when you are shopping around)

THANKS LINDA...NEEDED THE LAUGH!! and actually, i have a spare zoloft in my desk drawer!!
Thanks for the info about the water heater....I'll make sure I watch/ask about it.

I'm not going to sign up for the June Challenge....I know I'll workout...I just have to keep my head above water right now....and I agree....I always feel better after a good, brisk, sweaty walk...DH might have to sit out until he can keep up!

Glad you didn't fall off page 1, Marie!

Life sounds hectic, but going ok.

Have a great rest of the week!

Tell the brain to slow down!! It is SO IRRITATING when that happens!!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey lady....SLOW DOWN or you'll end up like me last week!!!

You've got a lot planned. When will you squeeze in a trip to NJ to help me get all my stuff done??

Enjoy your seminar, and I'll talk to you soon!

Busy lady! Soooo sorry on DH's toe. Been there, done that! Doing the right thing though, soaking and taping. Really, really, really don't want to bump the poor toe again - OW!

Something was in the air this week. I went through DD2's closet on Monday. The girl has more clothes than the rest of us put together. I hope you get your walks in this weekend. Good Luck with your projects.

just stopping by to say hi real quick-enjoy your weekend!! (were leaving for massachusetts tomorrow, so will PM you pics when i get home!)

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Hey Marie! Just wanted to stop by and say HI!

You sound like you have a whole lot going on right now! I know the feeling. It seems like once you get busy w/ one thing 4 other things pop up that you need to do also.

I have been having a hard time focusing this past week or so also. You are doing good though by getting your fruit and salad stuff. Having good stuff around the house to eat is half the battle. You will get back on track I know you will! Hope you have been enjoying your walks this weekend! They are so refreshing and energizing!

Have a good night! See ya later!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey lady...just checkin in. I hope everything is going well this weekend, and maybe you've had some time to relax (I know, haha).

Take care of yourself!!

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS!!! I'm sorry I haven't been on here this weekend...I got a wild hair up my butt....and went ahead and painted dd(6) room. It is the prettiest pink....3 walls pink, one wall white....got her a new curtain also. Also took apart her bed (captains style w/ drawers) and put a fresh coat of white paint on it too....then taped off the edges and painted the centers pink....looks so cute!! I tried my hand at stenciling....i practiced on one of the drawers and it turned out cute.....but decided not to do it on the walls....i'm not THAT good, and my sis#1 is REALLY good at that stuff, so I'm gonna make her do it. (the drawer i did it on won't be seen....it's against the wall) The thing that kills me about painting is doing the trim. I honestly had no intention of painting the trim in her room, but w/ a fresh coat on the walls, I had to do the trim. SOOO glad I did....it all looks so fresh!! We even put up a new ceiling fan for her...the old one made a real racket! Now all I have to do is get the energy back up to put her room back in order....I'll do it tonight. DS was feeling a little left out, so I told him to be thinking about what color he wants to do his room and we'd do it in a couple of weeks. I was thinking green....he's thinking black w/ flames...!!?? i don't think so.....
I also managed to get the house picked up....swept/mopped/dusted...while dh did the yard work....we are both whupped!! Sunday we went to the AAA B-Ball game...Chicken Nachos & Beer!!! I love a good baseball game w/ nachos & beer!! only problem was...the game wasn't that good....we have a "young" team...the good one's got called up to the majors last year, and this year we're struggling.
Anyway, I have no idea what I ate....besides nachos & beer.....
exercise was painting...up and down on the ladder....up and down on the floor....helping dh install a VERY heavy ceiling fan. No, we didn't go walking at all this weekend....me & my projects.... Like I said before...I have a MILLION things to do...that I WANT to do....and I have to space them out....otherwise dh will kill me!!
I didn't weigh-in today either....TOM FINALLY showed up...getting a little worried about her....I'll weigh tomorrow and log it...will have to call sis's too...God knows they won't do it if I don't call them!!

kimwim - make a list of the stuff you want me to do....never know when I'll "pop" in!!
blueeyes - have fun in MA!! GO BROTHER GO!!!

Oh....MIL sent us a sympathy card for Riese...I'd been doing really good until then! I didn't even read it....just handed it to DH and walked away! I also went in the backyard this weekend....seems empty.....

ok....have a great monday.....gotta get my Ritalin/Zoloft & Valium filled!!

marie

 

[kimwim8]

WOW Marie!!! That's some weekend you had! You were on a ROLL!!

I will definitely get a list together for ya!

You've inspired me to get some stuff done around our house! When the builders are done trimming our sliding glass doors (new in the dining room) I'm going to paint the dining room before putting the furniture back in. Then maybe DS will get a room makeover (probably just paint...). YOU ARE THE WOMAN!!

Yippee for TOM showing up...don't you hate it when he's late for the party?

You know me....I wanna see pics of DD's new room!!!

 

[kmp1191]

i'll do pics when it's completely done!!!
gonna call sis and find out when she's available for a weekend project!!

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Wow Marie! What a weekend! Way to check some items off the to do list! Sounds like you are like me though.... doing one thing on the list leads to adding 2 more things to the list!

Have a Great week!

 

[CACruisin']

You are definitely on a roll! Where do you get your energy? Could you send some my way, please?

Have a great week!

 

[lovinaz]

Wow, I bet DD's room looks great! My DD's room is pink & purple (2 walls each). DS's room is dark olive green (he is obsessed with anything Army). I was worried, but it looks really nice!

Could you send me 3 Valium? I am going to need them for my upcoming dental visits...

I hope things calm down and you can get back to your walking schedule!

 

[kmp1191]

my brain is fried! this week, actually, these past 2 weeks have been a real....poop! I haven't weighed, I haven't exercised, and I haven't been watching what I've been eating. It has been non-stop at my house and tonight will be no different. For some stupid reason, I told a neighbor/friend that I would host a Spa Party for her, and it's tonight. God help me!! i think i have everything ready....if i don't, oh well!
summer camp for the kids is going ok....ds is doing GREAT off his Strattera! i'm really glad....i actually think he's doing better off of it...but again, time will tell. dd is a total and complete BRAT!! she had me so mad this morning....i told her if she didn't get dressed for "school", then I would leave w/ out her! she says, YOU CAN"T DO THAT!! i said, WATCH ME!! she ran back to her room and threw on her clothes! (she had already brushed her teeth) and ran to the van! jeez!!! every morning is a battle! oh well....this too shall pass!
ok....gotta bet busy....pile of work on my desk....
CALGONE....TAKE ME AWAY!!!!!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey Marie....I hope your life slows down a little bit, enough for you to catch your breath. Sounds pretty darn stressful!!

Take care of yourself!!

 

[lovinaz]

It's always nice to have something to hang over their heads to make them do what you want, isn't it? All I have to do is threaten to wake them up 10 minutes earlier and they usually pick up the pace...

Hang in there, things will slow down soon. Remember to make time for YOU!

 

[kmp1191]

You guys are soooo funny!!! Take time for me.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
(ok...sorry, i'm in a saracastic mood today)
hey, have you ever rolled your eyes so far back that you could actually see the back of your brain? I think i did that today! honestly, some people that i work with.....HELLLOOOOOO......DO YOU HAVE A BRAIN??!!!
hhahahahahahahahahahahahaha
and for some reason the song " THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY HA HA " keeps playing in my head....(but then again, so does "THE B ITCH IS BACK"......hhhmmmm
wonder why....you should all be glad you don't live/work w/ me....it's gettin kinda scarey bein' me!!
BBWWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Things do sound pretty stressful and busy lately! hang in there and hope it gets better and slows down soon!

 

[CACruisin']

Hey marie, I hope things will calm down for you. Didn't you get the memo about summer being more lowkey?

Your DD is younger, but I do understand. I actually DID leave DD10 a year ago (school is a 3 minute drive away). The other DD was aghast that I left, and younger DD was quite contrite when I got home again. I've never had a problem with being ready to go since. Plenty of other issues .... but not about getting ready for school....

Hang in there marie. You'll get back on track soon. Hope the spa party went well.

 

[kmp1191]

Spa party went well...had 6 people plus me.....I think everyone had a good time! I bought some foot lotion stuff...do you think SVEN would rub my feet with it??

Anyway, I have NO photo shoots this weekend, and DH is off also....guess what we'll be doing.......






NOT A DARN THING!!!
