Checking in while eating my salad from Mickey D's. I swear I need to go food shopping!!!!!

No it was not the pregnant wife's husband....thank god! Bad enough the guy was only 28. He had diabete's that he was not controlling.

My kids know not to throw the first punch.....but once that punch is thrown, all bets are off. They also know if someone is running their mouth to think and decide if it is worth going right back at them....sorry, I grew up in NY and have never taken shit from anyone! hehehe

Cheryl.....Garrett LOVES his webkin.......he named it Vanilla. LOL He has been sleeping with it and even made it lay with Scout last night since he still was not feeling well.

Barb....feel better!!!!!!!!

OK.....everyone needs to get motivated here.........figure out what you can do differently JUST FOR TODAY.......journal, get the water in, eat more veggies, try on some clothes to get a gauge on how you are doing. Do something guys!

Jen: how funny that Garrett named his puppy Vanilla, I got Camden a little stuffed Boston Terrier from Wally World and he named it "Feet"! I have no idea where he came up with that name!

Ok I have got to get off of here and get something done! Check in with y'all later.

WE love webkins at our house! (I think I am on there almost as much as Becca) She has like eight of them now!

Cheryl~ You were one busy beaver yesterday!! What exactly is a bean workout??

Liz~ Hang in there. You look wonderful and are doing a great job.

Barb~ So sorry to hear about the back. Are the sinuses better at least?

Erin~ Glad everyone is on the mend. Wierd about the schools.

Xan~ Clearly the crockpot deli chicken is something that must have been around awhile - but what is it? Sounds like something I need to make.

Emily- this may sound gross but I put Vicks Rub straight up my nose every night before bed...I have allergies and it helps me breathe at night. I used to be severely addicted to nasal spray but I kicked the habit! lol Sounds like you are back on track! Keep up the good work!

Erin- Have a great day!

Barb- Ouch! Relax and get better!

Cheryl- Good job with the workouts! Woo hoo!

Xan- Hey my teacher hero!

Liz- Cheer up my friend! You can do this!

Allison.....it's not gross! I do the same thing when I am sick. LOL Heck Vicks makes those inhaler things.

Cheryl.....the silly webkin isn't even totally vanilla color!!! I have nooooo clue where he came up with that name...none. These kids are sooo funny.

Em.....Jess has about 9, Blair the same. Garrett was all upset because he only had an Epet.

I will have to get J to stop by the store on his way home and get me some Vicks. At this point I am willing to try just about anything!!

Em: You have got to make this!!
1 5-6 lb. whole chicken
Lawry's season salt
Olive Oil cooking spray (or any kind of Pam really)
balls of aluminum foil

Wash the chicken inside and out. Spray with Pam and then season with Lawry's (only Lawry's, btw), spray the inside of the crock. Roll up balls of aluminum foil and put the chicken on them breast side up. No water, no nothing in the crock but the chicken and the aluminum foil. Cook on HIGH for 4-6 hours. Must be on high. It's sooooo delicious!!

Hi Allison, my sweet little ego booster!!! My kids hate me today because they keep "slacking" and I keep pushing them to push the envelope! LOL

Hey it's deli roasted chicken! LOL
If you are interested, I also posted the gravy recipe for it!

YUMMY! I will definitely add to my grocery litst and have it in the next few days.

Jen~ Yes! Bring on the gravy.

Emily: it is an inflateable ab workout thingy! (don't you just love how technological I am! ) I can't figure out how to attach a picture but if you go to The Bean Will Get You Lean! you can see what it is. I love mine! But so do the boys!

Jen & Allison: DH sniff Vicks as well! The boys absolutely hate it when they get stuffy and DH puts it in around their noses! But hey, it really does help them. I have a friend who when her boys get sick she will slather it all over their chests and on the bottoms of their feet and make them wear socks and t-shirt to sleep in as opposed to just in their underwear like most boys. She says it cuts the cold time in half.

Xan: I made the chicken a couple of weeks ago and James actually ate it, I couldn't believe it, normally he won't. See you later.
