Hello everyone
about a week to go before mom leaves for FL. Got my strider in last night as well as forcing down that water. You wouldn't think 88oz wouldn't be that hard to get down. Not sure what is going on @ work today. I think I'm mentoring again this morning. May do my extra duties today. Haven't heard the latest about the OT if any. WI this morning. Still the same!!!
Will start up the water thread sometime sunday.

Hope all is well w/everyone since it's been sooo quiet here lately.

take care everyone
Lizzy

Quickie for me...be back later...gotta take the kids to the ferry for a field trip they are going on today...just waiting for one to finish brushing her teeth!

Hey guys! Not much happening here today. Still trying to catch up on laundry and cleaning. Sort of a rainy day though so it makes it easy to be at home just not so easy to stay motivted. Mateo was up during the night with foot pains. He has been having them a lot lately so I called today and got him a doctor's appointment. We go on the 30th. His crying woke Becca up. Needless to say it was a long night.

Lizzy~ Can't believe it is time for your mom to go back to FL. Seems like yesterday you were making preparations for her arrival.

Nik~ Where did the kids go?

Where's everyone else been the past couple of days? I get back from traveling and everyone diappears. Should I be offended?

Hi girls! TGIF!!!! I love Fridays because I am usually done with all my school work! This weekend we are going to Dave and Busters and back to Six Flags on Sunday. Should be a good weekend. Costco opened in my neighborhood two days ago and I have been there three times already since they opened. I love that store!! I need to quit eating the samples though before I explode. I came across this new product by Body Choice. It is a liquid that you drink. It is made with Hoodia, green tea, blueberries, and Yerba Mate. Plus some other stuff. Anybody heard of it? It is supposed to curb your appetite, boosts metabolism, increase mental acuity, give energy, and reduce stress just to name a few..........It's only 20.00 a bottle at Costco. I may try it but I want to see what there money back guarantee is.......... Well ladies, miss ya'll!

Hey Emily!!!!!!!!!! So that's strange..... I wonder why Mateo is having foot pains? Growing pains?

Allison~ Hey friend! Six Flags and D&B's... you are always having fun in Tejas. I think I need to make my next trip to the big state of Texas. I have to agree with you on Costco. They have some great deals. If you didn't know their pices on meds are the best. I use their pharamacy. Haven't heard of the drink... let us know. As far as Mateo and growing pains - they are usually in the legs and in kids a bit older, but we will see. I hope that is all they are!

Hey guys....I haven't been trying to ignore you but I have had the ABSOLUTE week from hell.
Work has absolutely sucked and I almost quit this morning...that's how pissed i was. I was taken to task by the owner yesterday for paying some bills late.....well that is because his son is causing me to pay them late. He is supposed to approve all invoices before I get them and let me know how to code them (inventory, shop use, cost of sales, which store, etc.) well he NEVER gets them back to me in a timely manner and when they do come to me, I have to send them back again because he never provides info and I am not a mind reader. About a month ago, I decided I was going to start documenting EVERY single case of this to back myself up if it ever came down to it. Well I am glad that I did. But of course (nepotism at it's finest!) I still got reamed.
Then this morning the manager of one of the stores and I got into a screamfest on the phone...her telling me that I told a vendor something and I never did.
So my boss(the controller) happened to come down to my office to pick up a check late morning and I let him have it.....I told him that from now on as far as the son goes, I will give him a week to give me whatever back...if I don't then it goes to Corp. misc. g/l code and he can duke it out with him and maybe he will then listen that I am tired of this crap. I also told him that if that manager ever calls me yelling again that he better call the cops because I am going to go down there and rip her GD head off.

On top of that (as if that wasn't enough) Kevin and I have been fighting a bit too.....it had better be resolved when he gets home tomorrow or he will be another one that gets my wrath. The latest battle is this: Blair hangs out with this one girl that CONSTANTLY has lice. I mean you can see them on her hair. He has told his exwife about this and Blair is constantly getting it......which in turn gives it to Jess. His ex does NOTHING about it.......doesn't treat Blair, doesn't tell the girl she can't come over, NOTHING. And I am soooooooo fed up with the constant reinfestation at our house because his exwife chooses to do nothing. I have not gone as far to tell him Blair can't come over because that just isn't fair, but I am at my ABSOLUTE wits end over it. I am tired of having to treat the girls all the time, scrub everything, wash everything and then Blair goes home and nothing is followed through and then the other girl goes over there and Blair gets it again. The girls mother is all about the pain meds so talking to her is like talkling to a brick wall. The father is always working because they have a large family. UGH.

Sooooo with all of that going on, needless to say my eating has sucked. Ya think?
And I am soooo disgusted on that front too. I still am not allowed to do any exercise.....I even begged to just do pilates, but no. I feel fat and gross!

I need calgon.....or a good drunk! LOL

Anywho....that is how my week has been. Sucks doesn't it?!?!
The funny thing is on the work front, twice this week I had job unsolicited job offers. The co. I used to work for asked me to come back yet again....then one of the competitors of that company also asked if I would be interested in going to work for them. I told them both that unless I could work from home 3 days a week and they could provide a helicopter the other 2, no way. Both jobs are about 40 miles away. Not doing it in the winter and I certainly am not going back to missing my kids events.

The only good things this week:
grandma's estate finally got settled and I received a "gift" from my parents.
Football is over tomorrow, other than playoffs and the only one in playoffs is Devan.
Ummm. I think thats about it. LOL

Alrighty....it felt very good to vent that to you guys.
BBL...gotta run the kids to football practice.

Ohhhhh Em.....I wonder if he doesn't have the same thing that Jess had! Her feet were growing, but the tendons were not growing as fast so they were not stretching quickly enough and she was having really bad pains too.....to the point it hurt her to walk.
I took her to the ortho and they had her do stretching exercises with her feet...like wall stretches, pointing her foot up holding it, down back up and also I had to get her these things called "Tulli Cups". They are these plastic inserts that sit in the heel part of her shoes.
Who are you taking him to? I used to go to Dr. Fowler in Monroeville....he is a VERY good ortho.
