Starting the thread...saw where 2 are viewing (thought I was the only idiot up this early ) but do not see any of the buds on so giving it a try.

Got up with DH and now I can't sleep and he has gone back to sleep..WTH??? My sinuses are in full force this morning and after sneezing a dozen times since 4:30 and the house is muggy feeling (had to cut the blame a/c on late yesterday at work but I refused to sleep with it on here last night as I knew that was the makings of sick people), I decided to get up and start the day. FUN, FUN!

Watched BL last night and I must say I was shocked!!!! Good job by the blue team though--I really was not liking Jackie lately...she was all about the "game" and then to pull off only 2 lb loss when they were all 5+, she deserved it. I was really impressed with the black team last night--awesome w/i #s.

Saw on weather this morning that tornados hit during the night in Arkansas. That is sooo sad!!! Hope they don't find anymore fatalities. We are in the red shaded area for today..YIKES!

Lizzy...I checked the bid assistant out...not sure if I trust it or not..kinda weird to just put your fate in the hands of the computer????? Still haven't gotten in the b/d present box yet and I am getting concerned..it has been almost 2 weeks..I tried to contact seller already but they aren't answering me. I am going to log-on and recontact again this morning. I am going to be totally upset if it is not here for her DD's b-day Sat morning. DS got in a package yesterday that he won over the weekend and I am still waiting almost 12 days later..I have an issue with that!

Barb..it is trash day here--LOL!!! Gotta load up the hatch and make a pit stop on the way into work today.

Carrie..hope your DD feels better..that is scary...has she been sick at all???

Jen..morning chick-a-dee! How goes it??? I am going to get my DVD done this morning in between sneezes.

Okay..gonna try to work out before anybody else is awake. I love the total quiet of the early mornings!

Hey girls, don't forget to check on the recipe thread for your week and keep those recipes posting.

Good morning!

Terry, I've been up since 4:00 and couldn't sleep Figured it was b/c Jim was gone and all of a sudden I had too much room in the bed. Amazing how one human less makes all the difference when there's 3 dogs and a cat on the bed. hope you have a good day and aren't too tired later!

I have a day full of meetings today and lots of deadlines rearing their ugly heads so I best get at it. Hope you guys have a fantastic day!

Barb - I've lost your email...can you send it to me again? Sigh....
Lizzy - have a good one...hope you got some rest last night.
Jen - hope you're feeling better. I suspect you'll get our weather today...tornado warnings all last night. It was 47 when I left work last night at 6 and 36 when I got home at 7:30. No wonder everyone is sickly.

Morning girls! The last two days have been so busy I haven't had much chitter chatter time. I work for the Choctaw Nation, and we are constantly sending things out. Trying to keep our addresses up to date and getting labels ready and getting things out the door! The Chief has his letters and we are always having events. I've been with this Job for almost 2 years. I also work with a child who has developmental disabilities. I've been with her for going on 6 years. Sad thing is I told them this summer I wouldn't be able to work with her any more. Mainly because she needs a very structured environment and with parents weren't helping me with things. Plus they were getting where they were leaving her with me for days at a time and not even calling to check on her. Once I left though they realized I was right on many things and finally got her into a Special School/treatment center. This place has been amazing she's learned so many things. I worry that when she comes home though it will not last her parents just have such issue with keeping a routine. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

Anyways, did my time at the bb game got home and was exhausted! My only exercise doing stairs 3 times yesterday. We have 3 flights on each end of the building So I'd go up one end walk to the other go down then do it again lol. Maybe I'll find more time today.

Ok I think I'm fixing to hit the shower and get my day started!

hello everyone,
was so wiped out fell asleep around 7:30,travel alarm never went off, luckily I woke briefly for Idol (just saw the girl that lost her father 2 days earlier) was just so wiped went back to bed. Still wiped today, I hate TOM when I get it.

Terry- regarding ebay, what is the sellers record like, do they have a lot of negatives? That is aggravating about the bday present. I had that happen to that lady last yr w/ the bare mineral stuff. I see they finally yanked her status.
Lori- have a good day and can get some things accomplished.

take care everyone and have a great day.

Good Morning Ladies.

Well it is day 2 of core. Yesterday went fine with it, although I was making substitutions a few times. But they were core so it was all good.
I got in one of the workouts yesterday...I had forgotten how much cardio was in jiggle free arms! Also, the arms are sore this morning.
Sasha also had a vet appt because of her ear infections. Ugh. This doggie is on meds. She also has been scratching at her skin lately too and the vet thinks it is all tied together. Soooo because a different vet had found her to have food allergies, we have changed her food again (Hills Z/D) and she is on several meds to get the skin and ears under control......prednisolone, smz-tmp, animax ointment, plus once some of the swelling goes down I have to flush out her ears. So Lori.....many side effects on these? LOL Oh and of course they told me she needs to loose weight. Sooooo I think that on days where it is nice, I am going to start taking her for walks every evening...it will help both of us. I should set up a little agility ring in the yard for her!

Today all I really have is Garrett's swim lesson this evening. Nice and easy. I am not sure what workout I am going to do yet. I might go up to the Y a little earlier than his lesson and try to workout.

Terry- I was glad Jackie was voted off! Looks like some interesting twists and turns next week huh? Take some medicine and down the fluids!

Lori- Ugh on the tornado warnings! I hate those!!! LOL at the thought of you and all the furbabies in bed! Tooooooooo cutteeeeee!

April- How many games do you have to work? Luckily we don't have to do basketball games...we only do fundraisers for that sport....everything else has concession stands though....baseball/softball once each kid, football 3x each kid.

Lizzy- I wish I had gone to bed at 7:30!!!! I am hoping tonight I can get to bed fairly early....doesn't help with Kevin 2 hours behind me.

Ohhh and as for my hubby....he is leaving tucson tomorrow, going up to Holbrook(?) and then to Navajo. He is all over Arizona the next few days! He is hoping he is home for Valentine's day.

Alrighty....gotta run.

BBL.

The booster club is involved in all sports and we also do fundraisers. We have a concession stand but we also do Cotton Candy and sometimes we'll do burgers as well. As far as how often I work it's a sign up volunteer and my DH and I are top volunteers. We have a tough time getting parents to do their part! The parents around here stink at doing their jobs lol!

Well going to dry my hair bbl!

Thats a shame about the parents, April. As hard as it is for us, particularly with baseball, we still do it. For our activities, I think they would have an easier time getting people to work the stands if they would get on the people to sign up after the schedules come out. We had to sign up for it as we signed up the kids to play. In our case...especially with baseball...that is reallllllly tough. 4 kids and none of them on the same team. Garrett is the only that does not travel because he is now minor league....the other 3 it could be hit or miss that they are home or away for when I signed up. They are really great about it though where we are concerned and will let me change my dates if I see a conflict. The hard part is when Kevin is still on the road....his kids can get where they have to go because of their mother, but if Jess travels, I am the only one that can get her where she has to go and if Garrett has a game at home that same day, it causes mayhem. LOL Only once last season, though...and fingers crossed it happens same way this year....did we have all 4 playing at once...Jess 30 miles away, Blair 20 miles away and the boys at home on 2 different fields. My inlaws stayed at the home field and I ran one way, Kevin ran another. HECTIC!!!!! At least football they were all at the same field....we were just there for 9 hours each Saturday. At least this year Devan is in Jr HS so that is a Thursday night game.

LIZZY...THEY HAVE ALL FAVORABLE STUFF ON THEIR FEEDBACK..I sent another message this morning stating the importance of knowing when the package would arrive and that it was my second request doing so and I was concerned over this...maybe that will wake them up????

Jen...I am just glad it is my 1/2 day today and praying for rain so DS has practice cancelled and I can come home early....I am sooo terrible????

Lori...we could have been chatting my friend!!!

Morning April...

Got my workout done and now I need to grab a quick shower...DH is just waking up--talk about oversleeping...WHAT?? I wanna get in the bathroom before he does...BYE!
