Toystoryduo's Journal....Moving Forward From Here

[toystoryduo]

I forgot to mention.....

We finally have Toy Story and Toy Story 2 on DVD!!!! We got them at Target yesterday and we got our two free tickets to see TS3 as well! Now, I can officially retire my VHS movies.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, even with the order add on, you still got some good deals! I'll be anxious to see what you think about that book.

I am sorry your dh is not feeling well. I hope he feels better soon!

Hope you have a great day.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Amy.

I kind of had a feeling my DH would get sick. He's been pushing himself way too hard with work lately. I'm hoping he'll take this is a sign that he needs to slow down a bit. He is hardly ever sick.

Hope everyone has a great afternoon!

Tracy, I hope your DH feels better soon. People at work are beginning to get sick as some virus is going around. I hope he doesn't have that.

Gosh, don't you just hate how stuff you didn't mean to buy just sort of ends up with you anyway.

How is DD doing? Are her ear infections better?

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Lisa. My DD seems to be feeling better. She certainly has more energy! I think she stored it all up from being sick. She did complain that her ears feel clogged so we have her on a decongestant now. If her ears start to hurt, we'll take her back to the clinic.

Today's Plan:

* Homeschooling (DONE)
* Laundry
* Library
* ???

It's cold, rainy, and dreary here. I'm not feeling especially motivated to get much done today.

Weigh-in is tomorrow and I have no idea what the scale will say. I haven't been counting points, but I did manage to get a couple of workouts in and food choices have been okay. I guess we'll just wait and see tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a nice evening!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, don't fret about the scale! You have had a busy couple of weeks but have really done so well all things considered.

I am glad dd is feeling better, its amazing how energetic they are when they start to feel better!

 

[toystoryduo]

Quick post....

Weigh-in was okay. Down .6 pounds from last week. I'm still about 2 pounds over my lowest weight of the year. Hoping that since TOM will be gone soon, I will see a whoosh on the scale next week.

We're going car shopping today. I am excited and nervous at the same time. If you have any good thoughts, prayers, or to send our way, we sure would appreciate it!

I'll try and update later on. Have a great day!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, good luck with the car shopping! You guys have spent a long time saving and preparing for this, so don't feel bad about spending this money, a car is a necessity and its not like this is some impulse buy!

That is great you were down, when I used to have TOM, it was rare I could even stay the same, much less lose. I am betting that scale will whoosh for you next week!

Have a good weekend Wish Sis.

have fun car shopping

Glad DD is feeling better. Maybe her ears stopping up is from a front going through. Mine do that sometimes.

Glad the scale showed a loss for you, bet next week will be even more.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Amy and Lisa!

We ended up getting a '96 Pontiac Grand Prix last night! My DH really didn't want to get an older car, but this car is in pristine condition and the price was AMAZING! My DH has all of the paperwork about what has been done on the car, including inspections, and he even has the original bill of sale. He is very familiar with the motor and the car itself so he feels confident that he can handle any issues that may come up. The money we didn't spend will go into savings for a newer car down the road.

Today's Plan:
* Easter Shopping
* Grocery Shopping
* Netbook Shopping
* Walk
* Library

Hope everyone has a great day today!

Congrats on the new car Tracy! Hope you have a nice weekend with your family.

I know I'm a bit late in saying this, but I'm so glad everything is good with your Mom's health. That is the best news ever!!!!!

 

[lovinaz]

Glad to hear all is well with your mom and DD is feeling better!

Yay on the loss! And another yay on the car!

Hope your DH had a great birthday..and woohoo on his new running shoes

That's a heavy schedule for DH - hope he's feeling better soon

Nice score on the homeschooling books

yeah on being down .6 - that's 2+ sticks of butter off your body!

Good luck on the car shopping -- ooh, just saw you got a grand prix, nice...my sister loved hers when she had it, congrats!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, that is great news on the car! 1996 is a great year, Dd is a 1996 model herself! If your dh has all the paperwork and can see its had good care, that car may work out far better than something newer.

So glad you have wheels you can depend on!

Did you find good deals with your Easter shopping?

 

[eyor44]

congrats on the loss! Just remember a loss is a loss and not a gain.

Hurray for the new car! My last couple have been used ones. I love the new car smell, but also like it when someone else breaks them in for me and makes sure there are no bugs.

How is DH? Is he feeling better now? He certainly had a busy schedule last week.

I too am interested in any deals you may have found, you certainly had quite a shopping list.

Hope you had a great Monday.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies.

The past couple of days, I have been miserable. Sore throat, swollen glands, aches/pains, nausea, e.t.c. I thought I was over whatever "bug" I have, but I guess not. I am feeling somewhat better today, but nowhere near 100%.

My DH is still sick which is very unusual for him. Usually, he's over it in 24-48 hours, but not this time. I think he really needs to scale back on his work for a couple of days so he can rest and heal. We'll see what happens though.

Cashed out for Landry's cards today for December's trip!

As far as Easter deals go, we didn't get too many. We decided to head to the Dollar Store for some basket fillers and give the girls gift cards or cash. They're both saving their money for different things so I think the cash/gift cards will be much appreciated.

Workouts have been non existent and I haven't been counting WW points either. Just trying to get healthy.

Hope everyone has a great evening!

 

[eyor44]

Tracy, I hope you and DH feel better soon. Perhaps you both can take it a little easy this weekend? at least on Sunday?

for the Landry's cards.

you made your workout goal for the month!

 

[eyor44]

I hope you had a good day today Tracy.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Lisa! DH and I are both still feeling sick, but I'm hoping that we're both at the tail end of this thing. Maybe the nicer weather will help!

Today's Plan:
* Homeschooling
* Laundry
* Sam's Club
* Walk
* Library
* Help DH with work
* Rewards Programs

I am so looking forward to spring break! We're not going anywhere specifically, but just the idea of sleeping in and not having to teach for a week is a blessing! It will give all of us a much needed break so we can finish the school year on a positive note.

Hope everyone has a great day today!

Tracy
You have a big day planned out and still feeling sick. Do feel better soon. I hope you all had a good day and you were able to accomplish your list.
