It's for those of us who have health issues to get together and talk about our struggles, strengths, tips, healthy recipes, diabetes, and things like that. If you are interested, I believe she posted something about it under weightloss back in May. I may need to start posting about it tho now to get it going, so if you know anyone with any challenges or health problems, let us know so we can all join together.

Girl where do you find all this time? Wow...you are all over the place...way to go! I don't have Diabetes but I have a good chance of getting it later in life. I had it when I was pregnant with Lily...I think that is one of the reasons she came a month early. I went to the doctor to get put on insulin shots and ended up going into labor cause I made myself so upset...real good huh! I've been good so far...I'm trying to lose this weight so maybe I will get lucky and it will skip over me. I'm just proud of you...you join all these groups and stay motivated...you are awesome.

Ok so if you all recall i took a second job at the beginning of the month, only to quit after two days. The reasons why i quit were simple: Too much, Didnt feel i was getting what i was hired in for, and didnt feel wanted. Well today was pay day for my two days of work and it couldn't have fell on a better day, me and amys wedding anniversary. Having paid rent and other bills with my first jobs paycheck i was going to use this other paycheck to go to the movies, buy flowers...etc. I call the office to see if i can pick up my check yet. They inform me that the checks were not there, would not be there today, they do not know when they will be there...it could be next friday for all they know. ????????WHAT!!! So i call the corporate office, im never one to just let things lie where they are. If they sent my check it is one thing, but to not even have it available is another. The corporate office informs me that the HR person likes to use the holiday weekend (and monday) to not pay workers and get that extra couple days to get her affairs straightened out. Again....WHAT!?!? am i the only one who sees a problem with this?

So i take step two: I call the Michigan Department of Labor and Wages. They explain what this company is doing is illegal and that checks need to be available on the scheduled pay day. So i call back and inform them of this new bit of info. AND THE INSULTS START FLYING. They tell me what makes me so special to get my check before anyone else? i only worked there for two days. NOBODY IS GETTING PAID! what do i want, them to write me a bad check? I tell them that their companies money problem is none of my concern that if they couldnt pay their workers then they shouldnt have hired them in the first place.

So here i sit....9:15 pm on my wedding anniversary in a world of pissed off. My emotions are in a wreck, this should have been a good day. How can they live with themselves to not pay workers in this economy?? That dinner i told everyone about earlier didnt happen....we were too depressed. I have beers in my refrigerator, so i think i might go slam them Maybe it might take my edge off alittle. This may be my longest post ever, but i needed to get it off my chest......

I'm so glad i didnt quit my stable job to go and work for that place.

Wow...that is really some BS...I can't believe they did that to you...all of you. Can you make a complaint to the labor bureau...I've never heard of such crap! I'm so sorry your anniversary was ruined...that sucks. At least you and Amy have each other...I hope everything turns out for you...so glad you didn't stick with that job and stayed with the one you've had for years. Let me know how it turns out.

Hello rockstars...today has been a gloomy day. Nothing but rain all day...I am happy though cause I have a 3 day weekend...woo hoo! Tomorrow I'm supposed to go to my nieces bday party at the waterpark so we'll see if it stops raining enough.

We have a full house here tonight...my nieces are spending the night and my brother and his girlfriend are on there way down from New York to visit for the weekend. He's in the Army and stationed up in Watertown NY...havent' seen him since Lily was first born so almost a year. I miss him but I can only take him in short intervals...lol We get along better now that he doesn't live with me.

Well my dear rockstars...I hope everyone is hanging in there...I know I've been on the slacking side still. I do really well while I'm at work but when I get home I"ve been stuffing myself...yuck! We'll see tomorrow what the damage is.

Good luck to you all and have a wonderful weekend...I'll try to check back tomorrow but not sure when I'll be home. Good night to all!

Smooches!!!

Yeah make sure you do...can't let them get away with that bull...I hope they do something for you.

Just a quick note to say that my WI this morning has me at my same weight as last week so I at least maintained the weight. Hopefully I can report a loss next week. Thanks.
