Hope I got the day and date right..LOL!!!!

Morning chicks! Didn't see anybody else on but I have noticed that sometimes my computer doesn't show me that somebody is viewing...oh well took a shot and started the thread..hope it isn't a dupe!

Supper was good last night...Shoney's wing buffet...I ate a huge salad, corn, mashed potatoes, beans and a few wings and some soup. I didn't think that was too bad...kids ended up going with us..DS is a hot wing fanatic..couldn't leave him out of the trip. He pulled a good one on me last night..left after we got back home from the meeting (9'ish) for town to meet up with friends and was supposed to be home @ 1:00...called @ 12:30 and said he was staying in town with friends...(no school today so no problem there)..now my questions are (1) did he know he was going to do this before he left?? (2) where exactly did he stay..was he where he said he was going to be?? (3) how late did he stay with the girls or was it an all-nighter? (4) was there a "reason" he decided to stay....lots of questions for the ole boy when he decides to roll in this morning..told him he had better be home before I left for work. DH was none to pleased when he woke up @ 2:30 and realized he wasn't home..woke me up in a freaking panic and then couldn't go back to sleep for over an hour...guess I should have woke him up and told him but really didn't think he would get up and notice and did not want to pick any fights over the issue in the middle of the night. I just told DS it was okay instead of making a huge issue out of all of it in the middle of the night.

Ended up getting cold here last night...had windows up all day yesterday and then sometime during the night it dropped to freezing...got a fire going now and still freezing my ass off!!!

Okay..going to lay down a bit since kids don't have school today I can actually wait and get up around 7ish..BBL

Morning!

Well, yesterday was a successful day, so I'm going for day #2 Stayed within my points and DID get my exercise in when I got home. Yeah!!! Nighttime is still just the hardest time for me to control. I kept asking myself every 10 minutes...ok, are you really hungry or are you feeding something else? Because if you're really hungry, there's plenty of lettuce and broccoli in the fridge. Funny...it wasn't that kind of hunger. Ah, it's always a journey isn't it?

Well, little Miss Annie stuck her nose somewhere she shouldn't have apparently. When I looked at it this morning it looks like something bit the snot out of her (excuse the expression). She's got big bloody bumps all over it. Poor thing. I put some meds on there, but now is when I really miss having my practice when I could just haul her butt to work with me and keep an eye on her there today and pop her with some injectable antibiotics.

Terry - yikes about DS. I too remember those days of calling 1/2 hour before you were supposed to be home. My father, however, was the variety that said, get your butt home NOW or you're grounded I was a wuss so it worked on me! Would have NEVER worked on DH.

Gotta go update the challenge. Have a good day guys!

Lori T

Us girls love to challenge our parents but we aren't near as brave as the boys. I honestly believe that when my son "realizes" that he can go out at night I'll have these same challenges. He has always been strong willed so I'm sure if I said get your butt home now to him he'd be like see you in the morning and hang up haha! I'll have to beat him to death! But so far I'm lucky he hasn't even asked to go out with his friends at night!! I don't know how I've gotten so lucky! I always told them the rules were 16 before going out and he's 16 so I guess I've raised a homebody lol.

As for today not sure what's on my agenda I'm suppose to have about 79,000 cd's arrive that need to be sent out but I'm not sure when they are coming. So who know's what I'll be doing today.

Oh I tried the tatertot casserole in the recipe section last night used all lowfat lean meat and everyone loved it! Add that to the list of things I can make again lol.

You girls have a great day!

Good Morning Ladies.

Well WI went alright.....I was up .2 which considering I have eaten out for almost a week...plus ate chinese the day before WI...I will take it.

I am trying to get used to the carpet. It looks great and feels wonderful. Sasha is finally coming upstairs again. LOL She wouldn't go up the stairs the past few days when it was bare wood.
Scout seems to be right back to normal since his surgery yesterday. Yesterday was actually funny as he seemed still doped up last night, but this morning he is good.

Found out some horrible news on the TV this morning....the brother of 2 of my old boss' died yesterday! He was working on a powerline for a company and was electricuted! I feel sooooo badly. They are a VERY tight knit family and this was the baby brother.

Terry......I hope Jody was being good.

Lori.......I hope Annie is feeling better through the day. I think I have had enough of going to the vet for the next few weeks! LOL I wish I had a doggie dermotologist here for Sasha!

So fingers crossed that Garrett feels better this morning because i have to go to work! After work, I have to get a workout in then Jess has a game at 5:30. Thank goodness basketball season is just about over!!!!!

April.......Good Morning! Holy heck that is alot of CD's!!!!!! Hope you have a good day.

Good morning ladies. I haven't had a lot of time for posting lately, but I did want to pop in and say hello.

I think I am finally getting over this nasty cold. This think has been dragging on for 2 weeks now. I still have a little congestion, but I think my energy level is back to normal.

Well, I had the day off yesterday....and spent it getting some packing done. We are closing in a week. Yikes. The move should be pretty easy. First, we hired some guys.....and we don't have much stuff. We have been selling some of our furniture because a lot of it will just not look right in the new house. We have a lot of the rustic mexican pine stuff....and the new house has dark hardwood floors and really not a southwest feel to it at all. So, we bought a new dining table at SamsClub....and have a new sectional on order with Pruitts. The rest we will take our time with.

I didn't weigh this week because TOM is here. I am retaining a lot this month. I am making a really conscious effort to journal this week. I have decided that it is easiest for me to write it all in my day planner instead of using a WW food journal. I am on my 6th day in a row....which is more than I have managed for a while.

Anyway, I better go. I need to get some work done before I take a shower.

Have a great day.
Lorena

Morning girls! Well, Mike made it home yesterday evening! What a plane ride it was, I guess....Sooooo Windy! He did bring me a gift....not exactly something that I can mention here, lol...use your imagination Jen!

Anyway, food went great yesterday, my walk went great, put some major power into it. Mike brought home lots of apples and clementines and grapes, so I'm thrilled!

Ok, need to go update my challenge post and finish getting the kids out the door!

Back for a check-in before getting ready for work...no work out today..decided to give my body a much needed rest and I also managed to catch a cat-nap. I am going back and forth in my mind on whether to give WW a try again...core or points ...need to hurry as today would be my 1st day in the week...need to see if I can find my books...I am just wanting a jump start again..going tooo slow for me loss-wise. I had w/i yesterday and was actually up 2.5 lbs but I am not going to count it as I had so many issues with the kidneys over the weekend...I am going to wait and see what next week says and go from there..if still up then, I will bite the bullet and count the lbs.

As for DS....well guess who arrived about 30 min after DH left to go to work ..I knew that crap was going to happen...he was fine though and said they had stayed up all night at a friend's house (girl)...there was 12 of them. He had a blast but he was dead tired and I HATE the fact that he drove home without any sleep as it was a 25 min drive down dark country roads . UUURRRRR! I did express my concerns but he was already give out and said he regretted staying already so don't revisit the subject that he had visted all the way home trying to stay awake. Said that he was ready to leave when they all started calling him a wuss, etc and he caved in. At least they were at the girl's house with the parents and I know there was nothing else involved that prevented him from being able to get home earlier except young and dumb stupidity . He is almost 18 and in a few months he will be a college student and I will have no idea his comings or goings at all so this I just have to learn to take in stride...he isn't a bad kid and this is only the second time he has ever pulled this crap and he has been able to go out with friends since he was 13 as he was hanging out with a friend at that time that had an older brother that could drive at night..funny how DSs or so much different than DDs...no way she is going out with friends alone and she is 14.

Okay gotta fix my lunch..made taco soup over the weekend..woo hoo!!!

Nik..I went Sun am and bought apples, oranges, bananas, tomatoes, lettuce...and it was EXPENSIVE..just out the fresh section, I spent over $20 I foresee we need to have an email session today!!!!

Lori..hope furbaby is okay!!! Wonder if it was a critter??? I was always too scared to challenge my parents either!! I guess I was one of the wuss's...

Jen..woo hoo on the carpet! Too funny about Scout and the carpet glue high!!! Hope Garrett is better this morning.

April...I need to try the tator tot casserole..and yes girl, your days are fastly approaching with DS & DD! May the force be with you!!! LOL!!!

Where the heck is Lizzy????

Does anybody watch Paradise Hotel..I know I mentioned it last week..it was on last night and I was researching the characters on the web to see if I could tell who was next to get eliminated and one the guys on there killed himself after he got back from the show last fall...isn't that horrid??? Said he was dealing with severe depression and his family had tried to help him but he did it anyway..now that I know this, I can actually see it on the show..he is withdrawn from the group and a loner. SO SAD!!!

Okay really...going this time..bb from work!

Terry- I probably would have done the same, but not with my DD but DS..(if he was older of course...lol)

Lori- Aww..poor Miss Annie! Night time is hard for me too!

Jen- Chinese food will certainly do it! Glad you are enjoying the carpet

April- Wow! Holy moly! 79,000 CD's!

Lorena- Good job journaling. I am on day 3 myself..

Nik- Glad Mike made it home safely and bearing "gifts"!!


So, not much on the agenda today other than the gym and homework...same ol' same ol'...!
