Hello everyone,
got the PT job @ macy's, nights and weekends. Not sure how many hrs yet but will take what I can get. Of course they have an incentive plan as well. we have to try to get as many people as possible to sign up for the charge card. Have a minimum to meet each week. As as temp not too bad of a #, maybe. They definitely weren't prepared to see me. So not sure what happened w/ that. Was supposed to be a "group interview". So will be working in housewares. Cashiering and dusting the wares(big emphasis w/ the manager about that) Got a couple of items @ the thrift shop since we have to wear all black. I had a few things but wanted to get more variety.

Now to kick butt on the wt loss, didn't do great w/my choices. Ate out a lot. Now spend my budget for the week pretty much so have made some good meals for the rest of the week. Going to be rainy all week, so looks like strider time. Did better w/ water yesterday too.

take care everyone and have a great day
Lizzy

Horray Lizzy on getting that job! That is great news. I will be right with you in the buckle down department this week too....with everything all over the place we were eating on the run this past 2 weeks.

So yesterday I made a plan of attack as far as cleaning this house before Kevin gets home this weekend...figured last night do the kitchen, tonight do the bathroom, etc......well those plans were shot to hell. Phone call from Kevin "I couldn't fall asleep this morning honey." me: "well why baby?" Kevin: "Because I was too excited" me: "why?" Kevin" I'm excited because in the next couple of days I'll be home to hold my baby" me: "You mean you'll be home within 2 days" Kevin " Yeah tonight might be last shift here" Me: "Oh shit!"
ROTFLMAO!!!!! What a supportive wife I am! I just had it in my head of how I was going to clean the house without busting ass to do it. BUT then a good thing happened.....Jess asked me if she could go ice skating on Friday night with her friend Allison. THIS is a first so I am reallllly excited about it. I am betting Devan won't be happy since he usually goes there on Friday nights with his friends. So anyway, this was good. I told Jess yes she could go but only if she is helpful to me in doing her chores and behaves. She cleaned the bathroom last night! hehehehe And she will sort the laundry tonight! hehehe

OK....on to weight stuff. I had my WI last night and was down 3 lbs! Woohoo. I was happy. The meeting was non existent again....but whatever at this point....as long as I have you guys and weigh in every week, I will be fine.

So on tap for today is work which should be busy. I have a feeling the pregnant woman in my dept is going out on leave here realllly soon. Just too many problems where she has to get monitored every week and she is more miserable than ever. I have to train the new person today on how to key the A/P....after work I have Physical Therapy then home to clean and hope Kevin does not beat me home!!!! The living room and kitchen are in great shape, the dining room is still in a shambles though with living room stuff still in it and my bedroom is a HUGE mess!!!!

Oh well....I have to go and tape my knee and get the kids up.

Morning!

Lizzy...whoohoo on the Macy's job!!!! I'd never make any money if I worked there, I'd want to buy way too much.

Jen...Too funny about your reaction to Kevin!

Well, let's see....TOM started today, UGH...I did have a rough couple of days before hand, but only went slightly off plan one evening and it wasn't a big deal at all. Got up and walked this morning, only a 20 minute one, it's all I had time for ...better than nothing.

Haven't mentioned that my computer has lost it's marbles the last week or so..I finally got my Norton to work and the computer has been it's own person since, it's starting to really tick me off....gonna need to take it in I have a feeling, think I'll do it tomorrow since I'll be gone overnight, I won't miss it too much.

Ok, off to play trains with Cooper.

Okay girls...so far so good today...will be back shortly for personals!! Off yesterday..pay for it today!!!

Lizzy: Congrats on job!!!! Proud of you!!!

OK so Kevin called me and he is flying home today. CRAP! His flight is at 2:30 out of Philly.....by the time I get home from PT he will be getting in the door about the same time. CRAP. AND on top of that he will have no sleep after working a 12 last night/this morning....I could tell just by his demeaner on the phone this is NOT going to be a fun evening...he is cranky already. Not in the mood for it, I truly am not. I am in a foul mood here at work already this morning.
The owner of the Co basically took me to task for paying some bills late......well that is because his son does not give me back things in a timely manner and I basically told him that. Maybe if they would step into the 1990's and have a PO system in place instead of just coding everything things could move a little more smoothly. GRRRRRRR. I am in bitch mode right now.
Gotta go...BBL

Back for a few...Jen, WTG on getting some housework out of Jess..LOL!!! Gotta love us moms!!!

Nik...TOM is one thing I am glad I am without!!!!

Well work has been super busy today...figured that...eating has been great as I have not had anything since my pudding cup this morning for breakfast. I am having soup for lunch (Allison, are you proud of me??). Supper tonight will be challenging as it is Tues night with our friends but I am hoping that my willpower outweighs my stomach. I really would love to get a walk in this afternoon as well but will have to wait and see on that one...my allergies/sinuses are in overdrive thanks to something out there right now that my nose doesn't like.

hey chicks...sorry i've been so scarce. things have been sucking at work and my stress level-which is usually non existent is up there. our printing machine has been broken since wednesday night. we are falling further behind by the minute.im sick of dodging calls and calling others asking for extensions on deadlines. it totally sucks donkey dong! we were supposed to get the replacement part this morning...now im being told tomorrow morning. i'm torked!

eating is going good though. i got on the scale fully clothed and two plus cups of coffee in me this am, why i don't know-maybe to have an excuse if i didnt like the number.im going to get on again tomorrow am-naked as a jaybird as usual and see. i might be breaking back into the 170's.
that would be very nice. then i can focus on getting back into the 160's-which is where i was when i fell off the weight watcher wagon-what a year ago im guessing. poopoo!

ok so my goal of the day is no candy-there is lots of it lurking around here.
i need to steer clear and drink up my water!


well have a great day ladies-i've missed ya!

Hey everyone,
Just checking in from PA. It's been hotter here than at home, lol. I brought 1 pair of shorts which I have been washing almost daily. Had a nice time apple picking on Saturday...Devon had a BLAST climbing the trees and using the picker and riding the tractor. It's my mom's spouse Fred's (the one with Alz who is now in South Carolina) son and daughter in law's farm, so tree climbing was allowed and there were tons of kids. I swear they invite everyone they know to the house to pick apples once a year. Apparently Fred is finally adjusting. It's been 3 weeks since he's asked about going home and he no longer packs his bags in the morning. It's heartbreaking for my mom. She wants to go visit, but we're discouraging her...I don't think it will be a good thing for anyone.

Tomorrow we go into NYC to the Met Mus of Art. It would be nice to be able to take D up to the empire state building, but I don't think we'll have the time...some other trip. Mom is coming with us, so that will be fun.

I'm home on Friday night...no word on the house yet, my realtor texted me last night that there's still no news. Dh is not sleeping and neither is the dog Should be a fun re-entry home.

Jen...ahem, I'm thinking there might be ways to take his mind off the mess. Just thinking out loud

Lizzy-congrats on the macy's job.

Hope everyone else is doing alright. I'll have to get caught up when I get home.

See y'all later!
Sue

Hi squirrely girlies!
I'm doing a quick pop in! Going to try to get some work done today! Chy's best friend is here so they are hanging out. Been busy doing this and that and then last weekend my nephew was visiting us. Eating has been really good except that a package of M & M's found there way into my market basket this morning! Yipes!!!! I'm going to control myself with those guys! We started playing volleyball on sunday night, lots of activity points burned there! I really feel it today! Going to have another game or uh something tonight too!

Ok miss you all

Lizzy~ Congrats on the job!

Anna~ Just breathe hun!

Jen~ I bet you can take his mind off of things tonight! Have fun! and watch that knee! LOL

Hi Nikki, Terry and Sue!

Ok be back later

Hey girlies!
I've been checking up with everyone, just not much time to post. Thank you for the prayers, my mom is on her way to the Dominican Republic to attend her sister's memorial. I'm praying she makes it through this flight, she has a fear of flying . My eating has been good but I think I pushed myself on Sat., felt a cold coming on and went jogging anyway, I made it worse. Hope everyone is well....(((HUGS TO MY GIRLS))))

Lizzy~Way to go with Macy's, hope you like it! I like the black dress code.

Nikki~ Blahh about TOM but good for you on getting the walk in!

Jen~You're too funny sistah! Have fun with your hubby tonight!

Terry~ Hey love! I'm rooting for you tonight, you can do it!

Anna~What the heck is going on at that place??? Hope your day gets better!!

Sue~ Where in PA are you, yes the weather sucks...I think it's gonna get cooler starting tomorrow.

Barb~You go girl!!! Have fun!
