Hello everyone,
happy St Patrick's day. Still not feeling great but better.Staying home today. Really think it was the stomach bug rather than the med sideeffects since I was still feeling yucky when I wasn't taking the meds. It was a lonnng day yesterday. Probably shouldnt have stayed (was there over 6 hrs) but the games were worth it. Ex coached the coaches team, they were ahead by 3 @ the end when the kids team scoreda 3 @ the buzzer, so they had to go into overtime, Coaches ended up winning. Real good game. Ex's cousin's team lost in the same fashion, someone taking shot @ buzzer tying it up, but they couldnt come back and lost. Bummer I felt so sorry for them. The games are video taped for the local access cable station, so they'll have some good memories of the games.

Well going to rest up today. Already have Fri sched off.

take care and will be back later
Lizzy

Happy St. Pattys Day! Morning Lizzy. Woman we must get you well!! I prescribe rest and lots of veggies and fruits today. Also take in some broth if you are feeling up to it!

Fixing to go jump in the shower and get ready for work. I didn't lose a pound this week. I know I need to step it up and today I will be working on that. I have a meeting with a woman and we'll be getting me ready to join BF life when it opens. It's a new gym that I've been waiting on. They are finishing up they've just had the carpet installed. Yeah, My meeting is with her right after I get off work. They have a circut routine and then they offer 50 different cardio classes. It should keep things moving. They'll be working around my hip to develop a good plan of action to help me along the way. I'm not looking forward to knowing the honest truth. Having someone watch me weigh in, someone taking all my measurements. It kind of feels like I don't know just uncomfortable. But, I need to do this for me and I'm going for it!

Ok I've gotta go get my shower and start getting my day going hugs to you all!

Sending a pinch to all those not in green!!

Morning....Ok, I'm here for a quick confession then moving on...hit rock bottom the last 4 days, and I mean ROCK BOTTOM...been having some serious issues with Regan and her behavior, been really feeling the isolation...I just let it all overwhelm me, no stupid excuses. Today is the start of a new week....moving on.

So, I get up this morning, Cooper is in bed with me...and, get this, the dog is sleeping in his toddler bed..LOL...what a picture!!!

Got a busy week, Mike is coming home today...WITH FOOD!!!!! Still keeping my fingers crossed that the ferries will run some time this week, my MIL is coming on Thursday, I have a cleaning job this week...art class...OHHHHH, I finished one of my paintings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll have to post a pic of it.....I'm pretty happy about how it turned out, I started on my second one and that is coming together nicely too. Luckily, I bought Alex a whole set of acrylics a while back that she never opened, so I've been able to work on them at home, we have missed several classes since the teacher comes from the mainland and the weather stopped her from coming.

K, I'm rambling, gonna go get some coffeeeee!!!

Good Morning Ladies.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I am sitting here having coffee and the kids are already fighting. UGH.

So it's my first official day of being unemployed! Woohoo! I think I already have a good plan in place to keep busy.
First...I am going to start going to WW in the morning(On tues. with my mommy), I am also going to start going to the Y to workout. I figure I can use the weights and use the cardio equipment for about an hour and then take a swim for a while. That would be good!
I'm not going to do that today because Kevin is home still. We are going to run down to his job to drop something off, then do a little shopping, then home. He leaves tomorrow for Illinois.

Lizzy.....Glad you are starting to feel better. Take it easy though!

April......That sounds like an awesome place! 50 classes! WOW! I was debating taking a class at the Y, but am afraid to with my knee. Have a great day.

Nikki.....back up on that horse girl! I think the kids have spring fever. Jess and Garrett have been in rare form too....it sucks. I want to see that painting!

Oh well.....BB in a few...need to corral the kids.

Jen

OMG..this time is killing me!!! I was doing sooo good getting up with DH and staying up until the dang time changed..now I am doing my damnest to get out the bed by 7. UGGG! I know part of my problem is staying up to late (10..LOL) and then not sleeping very sound for some reason. If it keeps on like this may end up calling doc and seeing if I can get some samples of Ambien again just to get me back to sound sleeping.

I hit the local fruit/veggie stand Sat morning on the way to the show..I was soooo excited to see she had opened back up for the spring...she has the absolute best in fruit..WOW!!! They had oranges straight up from FLA picked from the tree..most of her stuff is freshly picked down there and doesn't have the wax, etc on it. Got manigos, oranges, apples, bananas, grapes, tomatoes, onions...YUM!!!! I am munching on the last of the grapes this morning and the bananas and manigos were gone yesterday. May try to make a run Wed afternoon if I can catch her still open..she is still doing part-time hours for right now until the beach season starts in. She is supposed to have pineapple in by weekend and strawberries.

Jen..kids weren't fighting this morning thank goodness but running late once again...and these are the days of my life. Have fun with Kevin today! DH & I are both off on Fri and the kids are in the school...I am thinking of seeing if he wants to go fishing or horseback riding???

Nikki...dust yourself off...I can only attempt to imagine how pen sick you are!!!

Lizzy...rest girl!!

April..gym sounds fantastic! Keep us updated!

Hey anybody heard from Allison lately??? I was wondering how her classes were going.

Gotta get my butt in gear or I am going to be in the same shape as my kids..LOL!!

HAPPY ST PATTY'S DAY!!!

Terry.....there is a fruit stand near my parents that is awesome that just reopened last week....I figure tomorrow when I go to the meeting I will stop there on the way home. I think it will be nice to be home with Kevin today. I don't know what it is, but it's like we really missed each other alot this last time he was out....moreso than other times I should say.

Be kind!!!!!

Nikki: that painting is great! You are so talented! I can only draw flies! LOL!

Terry: ugh on the having a hard time with the time change!
Lizzy: feel better and get you some rest.
April: awesome about the gym! I am jealous, wish we had something here. Meanwhile, I will just walk at the park and try to do dvd's at home!
Jen: you lady of leisure, enjoy your time of no work! Have a great time with Kevin!

Oh my gosh y'all I have to tell y'all this story. Yesterday I took some baby clothes to a friend and she was all, "we have hookers in town!" She said go look they are walking down the street and everything. So I went "looking" and sure enough, these were the type you see on the street corners on t.v. I couldn't believe it, I'm talking stripper heels, pretty woman micro mini skirt, big purse over the shoulder and all. Y'all remember this is a town of about 2500, 3000 on a good day. I was amazed, to funny!!!! Ok now don't laugh to hard at the small town girl who saw a hooker. I will be back later!

Hello everyone,
back again, took a good nap, just ate some breakfast. Will see how I tolerate it. Had no appetite last night so just had a baked potato. gotta get the water or crystal in. have been drinking ginger ale for fluids, but of course can't count it as water.

Jen- here's hoping you can be a stay @ home mom for a while. sounds like a good plan to get the workouts in while the kids are in school
Cheryl- i remember when I lost all my weight I couldnt wait to go to lady grace to get fitted. Wouldnt you know, i was the same. WTH!!.. oh my about the hookers. hopefully they wont find any business and move on.
Terry- yeesh about the slow download time
Lori- glad you had some safe travels, yipes about the temperature range. I saw a story this weekend that a few towns in Indiana had gas up over $4 already. hope you're not near them. Poor Eddie about his bite, @ least it was a squirrel and not a skunk!
Lorena hope you had fun @ IKEA. I rarely leave there w/o something(gotta be small though since I'm wall to wall furniture already
Sue- glad the new arrangemnt is working out. Dr Seuss is from my neck of the woods. I loved those books and would read them over and over. too bad they were @ the library and not my own collection
Sarah- hope you had a relaxing day. sounded like you needed it.
Terry- good job w/ your friend duty. wish we had your weather right now, so sad about the nearby town from the bad weather. ugh about the sleeping. I was taking trazodone before I got sick this week. seemed to help w/ the mind race @ night. but still woke up, but could go btb quickly
April- cool about the new gym
Nikki- (((HUGE HUGS))) parenting has got to be the toughest job in the world. we're here for you. how long until the house gets finished so you guys can move to the mainland. I cant wait to see your painting you have a great eye for photography so you must for painting too....just say the painting. really nice!!!

I wish our farmers market was open on weekends or later in the day. They close around 4:30 or so during the week, so no chance to get there. I love going to Haymarket in downtown boston. so great deals but a pain to get back and forth w/the goods and making them last, need a rolling cart or something

alrighty going to do some crochet

take care everyone
Lizzy

Morning kids, this Irish girl slept in for St. Patty's day. Have to get the boys up...out of the routine because of spring break. It's back to school today. I have not slept through the night since ds left the bed. He's so sweet that when he wakes up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, he comes in and kisses my forehead.

We have a birthday party this evening at Peter Piper Pizza, so I'll have to be strong. Heading to the gym right after dropping him off at school, but it's cold here this morning, so I'll have to bundle up. Apparently there was a HUGE pile up in Flagstaff yesterday because of white out conditions. 2 people dead, about 50 injured, many still critical. Yikes.

Ok, gotta run...
Lizzy-hope you feel better.
Jen-enjoy you first official day of being a stay at home mom, lol. Welcome to the club.

Peace out,
Sue
