Taking a chance..I can't tell if anybody is on or not????

Okay, I am going for..hope it isn't a dupe ...somebody please tell me how to tell if anybody else is on here in the mornings....

Ran around after work like chickens with our heads chopped off...getting supplies for the weekend, drinks, food, etc..getting crap moved down to where we will be butchering (approx 2 miles from our house--nice place but no bathroom ). Getting hogs loaded, getting fire wood...lord here is a LOT to do before these things. I was pooped out..realized after I got back in around 8, I had not cooked so we winged supper last night..whatever you could find..I ate about 1/2 cup of spagetti sauce (no noodles--had not cooked any ) and a slice of bread. I did pick up lunch meat and bread for the weekend and lots of water and diet drinks but I am scared to drink too much down there or I will be back and forth all day to the house.

DH runs through the house at 4:30 this morning "GET UP, GET UP!"...you would have thought he was going to Disney World..geezzz!! The kids drug into the den and were like WTC(that would be crap? He had them dressed, ready and out the door by 5:10..DD looked like she could fall over. Should be an interesting day for her to say the least. I am heading to work until 12 or so--gotta pick up my paycheck (we do not have direct deposit so I need to get to the bank especially with a holiday weekend)--otherwise I would be going to Disney World with them this morning ..thank God for small favors!

I crashed and burned yesterday around 4:30..I knew I would but I held out long as I could..there was just too much food porn going on and I was totally exhausted and stressed from the day. I got a little of each thing and went to my office and that was IT..no seconds, no more sneaking anything..just ate it and it was over and done but the crying. I guess considering soup for lunch, no snacks, and a crappy supper I did okay yesterday. I had my butt up and doing exercises at 5:30.

Alright..off to get a shower and try to get somewhat organized for my day. Honestly, I am a little nervous as to what it actually is going to hold after work...I have butchered before but it was many years ago (15+) and we were not the "Main" ones but just helped so I am going into this blind..>I can well imagine it is going to cause some MAJOR blowups between DH & I and DH & the kids before it is over with...Lord grant my patience!!!!!

Hello everyone,
slept so well last night. Got exercise and water in. Still a little stiff in the back but not bad, using my activeon today. Should have used it to begin w/. Need to get the rest of the fixings for terrys kielbasa soup tonight.

Terry- GL w/ the butchering. I don't think I could watch or participate in that.Bummer about the snack. but you did the best you could w/ the way things turned out for eating. I'd be dying too w/ the soup only.

as for looking for other on the board, usually there is a green dot by our names if we are on the board. Just doesn't say if we're on buddy up or not.

take care everyone and have a great day
Lizzy

Morning Lizzy...I see the green button under your name! Thanks...I love the way BCB showed you who was on all the time..remember? Feel better!!! Let me know if you like the soup.

Jen...are you feeling any better today???

Xan..I know you are already gone but safe travels buddy!

Angie..did you book the room???

Got email late yesterday from Charity...they got snow..she said the boys were loving it...not a lot but snow just the same..said it had been a long time since she had seen it. Weather man is talking about winter crap again this morning--I am just closing my ears!! He is just getting my hopes up...looks like they are just calling for cold and rain down here but just 60 miles up, they are talking ice and about 90 miles up they are calling for up to 1/2 foot of snow..WHAT?? I WANT IT DOWN HERE!!! According to him, Charity is in for the 1/2 foot or more of snow...I will have to get her to let me know if they are getting it.

Good Morning Ladies.....

I had another good night of sleep! I honestly think it has to do with the exercise. LOL Heck this morning I even woke up before the alarm!
I am definately sore from working out yesterday. I did probably my favorite Firm...from BSS1 Body sculpt with Jen. She always kicks my butt!!! And I upped my weights to 8,5 & 3. At the end with the chest presses, my arms were soooo tired it took everything I had to hang in there. I think I am going to just start doing each BSS in order.
On tap for today....work then home to get my workout in, then I have to go to my MIL and hook that thing up....then some shopping.

Terry- Good luck....I could not be there for that! Oh you can tell if someone is in here when you first get to the forum area it will tell you how many people are viewing on each section.

Lizzy- I am glad that you aren't as sore!!! I hope you have a good day!!!

Alrighty.....I need to blog.

BBL

Oh yeah, anyone try the new wt watchers cheeses. I saw them @ wally world yesterday. couldn't get a good look since my hands were full.

Jen- great job w/the exercise!!!

Lizzy

No i haven't seen the cheese but in the WW magazine. I am quite sure my grocery store will not have it though....they don't have anything good....they really do not cater to people trying to eat healthy. Maybe next week when I go to Wally.

Morning! I'd say good but heck I'd be lying I'm still about 80% asleep haha! I'm dragging but I know I'll get over it.

I'm planning on cleaning on my bedroom today, maybe! I actually might wait till tomorrow. It's going to be very cold this weekend so I'll be inside hybernating so I could do it then. Got some errands to run and then I'm going into my office for a little while. I've been home 3 days straight can't stay here any longer lol!

My hair is scary this morning. About 11pm last night I jumped in the shower and then fell asleep with wet hair! EEEK! So Either I'm going to have to rewash it or do what I do best pull that crap up lol!

My Cousin Doug had a major stroke Thursday morning so please keep him in your thoughts it's not looking good at all. This man was married into my family years ago. He lost his wife (my cousin Anne) to Cancer about 6 years ago. After she died he continued living with Anne's Mom ( My dearest Aunt Mary) until her death in August. He's a great man with a big heart!

Well I'm going to go get dressed and yell at Brandon to HURRY UP!! So i'll bb

What a night....AGAIN....so I shut my light off and snuggle in with one of my cats, no sooner do I close my eyes and I hear that sound....you know the one....we ALL know the one...yes, it's the sound of a child vomiting in their bed....we barely have to hear it before we instinctively know what it is....we run down the hall with thoughts of "how big is the mess" and "am I gonna be up all night doing laundry"!!!!!! UGH.....I don't think Cooper has the flu, I think it was a cough gone bad kind of thing...he's fine this morning, like nothing happened. I, on the other hand am running on fumes...NOT FAIR.

Ok, got to get the girls off to school, be back in a bit!

Morning squirrels!
Just a fly by for me this am, I'm going to "Coffee with the Principal" today at Holly's school so I have to wear something other then my work out clothes! LOL!

Terry~ have fun butchering today! If you can have fun at that type of thing!

Lizzy~ I saw the cheese but it was too expensive for me to spend on cheese. I didn't know they had it at Wally world, I wonder if it was cheaper. You know me, always a bargain shopper! (at Fry's it's 3.99) Glad you got a good night sleep!

Nikki~ Ugg.......I even know when the pets are going to throw up! Always a mom huh? Maybe you can catch a nap?

Ok I'll be back later!

Hello to all my buddies today!
