Team Focker Watch - Version 8: When V's Away.. The "Katt" will Play

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I have been considering Weight Watchers, I just hate to pay for a program when I already KNOW what I need to do. I guess it is mostly about having a group to answer to that motivates?

Mel,
Great summary! And woo hoo, the Loud Children will be getting Christmas presents this year. Granted the upstairs is not 100% museum quality, but I'd say they are 91.2% there. AND, in the event of a fire, a fireman can now crawl to their beds to rescue them.

We kicked butt around here yesterday and we are 85% finished with Christmas decorating. This has been eating away at me because normally we do this the weekend after Thanksgiving.

I received a card from KyKatt.

I've lost 5lbs since we returned from Disney.

Good morning everyone! The family is still asleep, so I'm taking a few minutes to skim a bit and post a bit.

Cliff notes version - Three out of the five in our family, including me and Mrs. T, are sick. Mrs. T and I both have a cold with various sinus issues, and DS6 has a sore throat and fever.

Yesterday was pretty hectic here; Mrs. T and I both started the day battling a cold. We had a friend of DD9 sleep over Friday night, so we had an extra child in the house. Everyone was feeling a bit tired, so I was pretty much the only one who made it to services. I stayed long enough for the mourner's prayer for my mom then headed home.

I finally got frustrated enough with myself to cross the threshold of our local weight watchers for a meeting at 11. Turns out that as of last week they are starting a new program. I feel like I've made progress on the exercise part of my program; now I need to get a handle on the eating. I stopped at Fresh Market, conveniently located adjacent to WW, for some good for me produce and meats.

I got home from the meeting in time to see off DD9's friend and the friend's mother. About an hour later, I got a call from the friend's mom to let us know that she friend nits in her children's hair, including DD9's friend. Mrs. T was out picking up a present for DS6's friend whose party was later that afternoon. So, I called Mrs. T to pick up some appropriate shampoo, grabbed all the beddings from DD9's room and all her stuffed animals, and started laundering. Mrs. T picked up a fairly convenient kit that included the shampoo, a comb gel, and a fine tooth comb which she proceeded to use on DD9. The kit also included a spray can for surfaces that could not laundered, so I attacked the various couches and other areas with the spray can.

After all this activity, we found DS6 laying down in bed. DS6 never lays down in the middle of the day unless something is not right. He was feeling warm and his throat hurt, so Mrs. T took his temperature - over 102. He had a pretty good melt down when we told him he could not go to the birthday party. I was back out to the store for fruit punch and Sprite, his preferred hydrating fluids.

At this point, we called and canceled the sitter. Our date night was not destined to happen. I still have a sitter set for our anniversary Wednesday, but I guess we'll have to see how everyone is feeling. So, I went out again and picked up Indian food for the two of us. The spice helped to clear our sinuses.

I'm supposed to be supervising the food set-up at DS6's cub scout Hanukkah party today. I sent an e-mail out yesterday to the person in charge to let her know our situation. I haven't heard back yet, but I hate dropping the ball on something where I made a commitment to help, particularly at the last minute.

Until I hit preview, I didn't quite know how long I rambled. I guess I need to get it all out. Sorry for the wordy post.

oh my!!! what a day!! hope everyone starts feeling better.

Mr. T, I think we were having your kind of week last week. I hope everyone is better soon!

Did his name happen to be Oliver? He was the hot waiter in Jordan's TR.

I never saw what his name was but he was quite young and nice looking

Just heard from CE again. She's good. D IS home and the generator is still going. They were heading out to dinner (I think) so she's good. She thanked me for checking on her!

Thanks for keeping us updated!

Don't punish us becasue of some slackers

Left the house and went to breakfast at Friendly's. From there we went to Five Below and got Jimmy's pollyanna gift. Went to thebest store to buy some surprises for TInkerbelle's stocking. Went to Bed Bath and Beyond, then to Cracker Barrel to pick up a gift card. From there we went to Wally World (and for the first time ever went in and got everything I was looking for ). After that we headed to the mall so Jimmy could drop his letter to Santa into the Mailbox at the Santa Village. He did not get his picture taken. Didn't want to and we didn't force him.

Wow, a nice quiet day then

The date is with T (not the T here ), who I have been dating on and off for 2 years or so. It's on again.

And

I got my Secret Santa gift today!!! Thank you to "You know who you are"!! I love it!

What did you get????

We went on our "date" and it was a HUGE FLOP. We tried to go to the chocolate place and we were at the wrong train station and it costs another $2 to go back in plus KC spent like 45 minutes trying to fix his phone at a tmobile store. I was so annoyed I got snotty with the girl....

I'm sorry about your day Read my new TR to cheer you up

My Party for 16 DRUNKO woman went... well... drunko. I was a hurting Jen yesterday. Ouchy! Who would have thought that yummy Pomegranate Martini's could hurt? I got my house put back together today. i just need to return the extra martini glasses and tables and chairs to a friend, then return the pile of loot left behind by drunko middle aged woman.

Sounds fun Have fun at brekkie

oh honey , you have no idea!!!

i told him, um i talk to them almost every day! they even meet at disney world and one day we will meet them all!! he just gave me the weirdest look and said ok.

We've all been there and done that

It is above 0 today. .

Wooohoooo

Kat, I'd catch you up but really all that I can remember is that CE's without power (as is my sister, who may have to have her whole house redone because it was crushed by a tree!), V is in WDW, Lessa is COLD, Janet's been shopping, Dawn is off to Schlitterbahn ( ??? ), T is studying for her coding test, Kristel is trying to get Doug to buy a sweater, haven't seen TE, No word from Mo, Slate's kids might have cleaned their rooms, Mr. T had and anniverary and a cold, We discussed mamograms, Jo's written more of her TR about Mom's Panel, Mr Diz is healing, Angela went to a fun party and Z was a grinch.

Good recap Mel and 10 dozen cookies What do you do with them all????

Good morning everyone! The family is still asleep, so I'm taking a few minutes to skim a bit and post a bit.

Wow what a day, I hope everyone gets better really soon and you are lice free too

Why must we be punished?

Well you know who to nag to read

Just checking in to say I'm still alive and that I WILL do my Christmas cards and ornament and Santa today....so sorry if I'm late---it's been nuts this week! But I HAVE bought them.

Hi TE


Anyone heard from Mo lately????


Not much going on here, had a lazy morning and the girls are busy making Reindeer Poop for their friends (white chocolate covered rice crispys and milk chocolate covered ones)

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I want to go on The Biggest Loser.

I would like to do something like that if it weren't on national television. No way would I want all of North America to see me in nothing but a sports bra.

No. I was going to text her...

Oh, why not Lessa!!!????

MEL

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Oh, why not Lessa!!!????

Well I didn't want to sound conceited but I know that I have such a hot bod that once all the guys saw me they would all fall in love with me instantly. I would have the male population of North America swooning over me. Wouldn't want that!

 

[DisneyJo]

And woo hoo, the Loud Children will be getting Christmas presents this year. Granted the upstairs is not 100% museum quality, but I'd say they are 91.2% there. AND, in the event of a fire, a fireman can now crawl to their beds to rescue them.

Phew I had visions of you eating them all

Done another update BTW

 

[sorul82?]

he thought it was cool, but odd!

Yup, I'm cool but odd!

Dude. That was harsh!

And then you'd end up on The Bachelorette.

Yep, that's what is holding me back. I don't want everyone to see the stretch marks from having 40 inches of babies in a 60 inch body.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Well I just posted my super shocking, never before seen in a trip report update.

Yep yep, well I just don't want everybody seeing all my fat.

I would never qualify for the show though so I am on my own in the weight loss game. 5 months to go until my cruise and I am nowhere near the goal I had set for myself.

I think having a group that understands provides both support and motivation. It's not really a group to answer to; it's a weekly scale to answer to, followed by a group for positive encouragement. Or, commiseration.

oh my!!! what a day!! hope everyone starts feeling better.

Mr. T, I think we were having your kind of week last week. I hope everyone is better soon!

Wow what a day, I hope everyone gets better really soon and you are lice free too

Thanks y'all!
---------------------------
I'm doing better than Mrs. T at the moment, so I'm off to get lunch ready. The older two should be home in about a half-hour or so.

TTFN!

I've thought about it too, but I don't think I could stand being away from home for 3 months!

Anyone heard from Mo lately????

I've texted her, but have gotten no response

Not much going on here, had a lazy morning and the girls are busy making Reindeer Poop for their friends (white chocolate covered rice crispys and milk chocolate covered ones)

It's all about positioning... however you do have to stand up there.. ALONE... just you, a SCALE WITH BIG NUMBERS... and 60 kabillion viewers...
and uh You CAN WEAR PANTS... I see them wearing them....

 

[sorul82?]

and uh You CAN WEAR PANTS... I see them wearing them....

I guess you seeing them would depend on the size of the baby/beer gut.
