hi gals well, here i am... and nothing new... for today anyway. he is going in tomorrow at 11, they made an appointment and it should be all ready. not quite finished up today. ..... i'm glad he is working hard and it is sad that it took all this for him to realize i was not going to be here forever. and i'm glad he is trying to earn the kids back too. Judy, that is sad, but how long can it go on??? have a great trip Laura - I say easter! don't forget to let me know gals! Hi tracyks, how goes it i lost it all the phne rang, i'm still on pain meds, no more muscle relaxer, but i am still a space case. so hello everyone... 9"15 and i'm going to bed, how sad

good morning gals Kat, i missed it... you are going to work? I know you have been worried about layoffs, so what is the worst thing that happens ... you work until things calm down and then decide you don't want to work... and hey... Rick is not going to get laid off (positive thinking) and you will have a nice little stash to do all the things you planned plus more... I feel pretty darn good this morning, not great but much better. no flexural last night. 1 pain pill when i got home and 1 at bed time and i slept like a baby and feel rested and still sore, but much better. good thing, i realized that in my drugged state the last few days, i forgot to buy a door knob for the new door, and it is going to rain tonight. so i am going to run to get one tonight, I also have to get my carpet cleaner from my friend. Kev has obviously been spending lots of time with all of us, yes quality time with kids too.... but anyway, he is allergic to cats, and i have 2 long hair... he made a hospital trip the other night after he helped me get something from under my bed and the cats sleep under there an he was a mess. so he is trying so i'm going to get the cats groomed, which i do anyway, and clean my carpets. The next big step for him and us to move to the next step is supposed to happen today. He is waiting for his attorney to finish up his settlement and disburse his funds, which has been going on for 2 weeks. He is stressed out and there are a lot of details to work out, but he was told it would be done today, good violet thoughts girls.... this is a big part of his closure he needs to move on to the little things he needs to deal with. (plus he is going to give me the money he owes me too) i'm off, running late now, have lots of company at work and big screw ups yesterday so it is not going to be fun. hugs and kisses!

Pamela that is beautiful!!!! i'm jealous... need another one Laura - we didn't get a baby pic update this week... did we? when is your due date? I did great with food until tonight, had 2 boneless chicken wings and a pc of pizza contractor had to get help, window and door are so heavy so... i will have a door tomorrow. I got a dumpster to clean out the garage and get rid of a couple of dressers and my grill, i'm going to get a new one when the deck is done. I have the dumpster for 2 weeks but i have a ton of yard work to do to get ready for the deck, i have a stone retaining wall that needs to be moved, and where it is going needs to be leveled out, and my herbs need to be moved. I have to dig out a 6x6 area for my slab and 3 holes at least 2' deep 8" wide for my footers... I'll be lucky if i get this all done in a couple of weeks, plus work on saturday mornings. Man i'm tired thinking about it... LOL hi everyone, miss you all i'm distracted, i've been doing this post for 20 mins. LOL took a pain pill when i get in from work and ready for another, my back is better now, but much worse today, i get it undercontrol and then can't take the meds while working... so i'm a mess by time i get in

Morning gals all these places we can visit... Not much happens here, nothing exciting, but you are all welcome to come visit upstate NY too, would love to have you. Michelle, send me some of your motitvation would you? actually, i will use my back as an excuse, but, it is cold and windy here, but spring is just a day or away and i'm going to start walking again. I walked up my hill last week at 3am, and i was only slightly out of breath, where even last spring i would have been dead 1/2 way up. Thanks again for all the kitchen comments.... i do love it in there Terry - the color is Old Mexico - so a brick kind of cyanne color.... i love it and my tan living room is going to be a deeper mocha/chocolate type color when it is all done. anyway, i am late for work, what a shock....i'll try to check in but lots of company today. have a great day everyone oh... Laura... I meant to say i'm so excited for you... weekly visits... you are getting so close!

oh Kat My kitchen was much bigger without the island and the extra large cabinets, but it is so nice to have space for everyone to do a job, and just got island hooked up.... LOVE the garbage disposal... how did i live without it??? LOL i'm off for a muscle relaxer and bed...

man... just lost a post Thanks for the comments... i love my kitchen, i now have bar stools around so we can hang in there.... i'm going to save befor and during on photobucket too. Michelle, i had someone sheetrock and hang cabinets, i did floor, demo and framing insulating and painting. Thanks to my aunt I took before of my window, but Dave my GC already cut out sheetrock.... but i took outside too because that is where deck is going. I'm stil floating around... i try to log on every day and ever morning when i drink my coffee. It has been crazy t work, and we have company for the rest of the week and i'm just drained when they leave. You guys are my rock, and even when i'm completely mental, i check in even if not to post, i love you guys.... i am going for a fill on april 2, or i hope i am, i'm going to try hard to be good and lose a couple lbs by then.. good thing i'm super pms and should be over that by Sunday at the very latest.... I guess that would explain why i have been wanting and able to eat everything under the sun. hugs everyone!!!!!

kitchen pictures by jlstroman-2009 - Photobucket hi guys don't know if this is going to work, but i found these today on my camera. i'll check back in later... boss just got here and man o man... glad i'm leaving!!!!!

hi guys i'm drugged and loopy... just took 2nd pain pill and that was enough to make me feel loopy, but i hurt so bad, had ds's special ed meeting today, which went well, but that hard wooden chair nearly killed me. I'm going to take a muscle relaxer in about 30 mins and hopefully sleep the night and not hurt. this is horrble... all because i wanted to do laundry... shoot, my blanket needs to be dried

Hi gals Terry - I thought that was on the do not take list, went to the dr, they did heat/ultrasonic thingy on my back, helped a little, could breathe, got a pain killer, not too bad, i'm functioning on them, and flexeral (sp) to take 1 at night and a low dose. I am still hurting but feel so much better Just laying low today... actually got a load of laundry done and that is about it. oh and before i hurt myself, i put a pot roast, potatoes and carrots in the crock pot, thank goodness... got up and dd put the bowl in my programable crock pot (LOVE IT TERRY) and turned it on.... so i don't have to take care of anyone today

good morning gals i pulled something in my back last night, I got out of the shower and it was cold here... i had to reach in a 3 foot narrow spot and think the cold was enough to wreck me, i hurt but got up to get laundry and i couldn't move, couldn't even lift a sock. HERE IS MY QUESTION... i know we cant take motrin, but is it the NSAID (i might have killed that but you all know what i'm talking about right?) that we can't take??? I have some Naproxin and am afraid to take them and can't take muscle relaxer because i need to function. I also just recovered beginning of last week from the stomach bug that was going around, and did nothing but eat for days so i feel so fat! I made a batch of ham & cheese soup and going to fix this problem before i get out of control. anyway, i'm a mess all together. My aunt is here from CA, i wish she didn't bother me so much - she is so good to us, but she is just so odd that it makes me crazy. I'm home today and she is already driving me nuts, i can't even talk about it... I'm breaking out just thinking about it. speaking of... KAT - I am so sorry about your hives, i am a mess, scratched the back of my neck raw and the actual hives have calmed down a bit, but i have a raw spot and every time a the slightest thing stresses me out i start itching all over... I think i just need to go to the dr this am

Morning gals up and showered, don't want to be... but have to work found out yesterday worst case i will get unemployment so at least i will have some kind of income....now that i'm getting regular support that pays the mortgage, i'll be ok, not great but can survive. Kat - that is crazy, almost sounds like they were looking for someone or to make an example of someone. I miss riding... i have not been out since I lost my bike. sad sad sad, Kev was going to come pick me up the other day but my helmet fell off a top shelf and had a big crack so i tossed it. He is going to get me one this week, although he got rid of his road king and got a rocker c... not much passenger room ,good thing i'm a little smaller than i was. anyway, going to be nice here today, i'm going to work on the garage and rake the yard, and switch my living rooms for my summer room. I usually don't change so early, but hope the door is going in the next week and by changing now, big furniture goes in the other room so they won't have to be moving. I've had a lot on my mind so i have not done much ofanything.... can't live like that. i can't wait for my fill, gall bladder swelling was definately pushing everything, cause i can eat for the first time in almost a year. I'm going to live on soup for the next week 1/2 to get back to 196 (i hope) by my appt on 4/2, and thank goodness my appt is in the am, I hate afternoon appts.

morning gals You are funny Pamela and Laura have to leave in 5 minutes, i'm exhausted and can eat, had 4 chicken tenders and a couple fries, although they were tiny and i was exploding full, i could still eat. Can't ait to see DR. April 2nd can't get heresoon enough have a great morning, i'll be back later, everyone leaves at 1 today.

OMG i just did a huge personal post and lost it... said something about "my token had expired" WTF???? anyway, love ya all, running late... meeting week for me

I have lost massive amounts of hair, anisthesia (sp) is a cause and took a couple months to catch up for me post surgery. I had my bloodwork done regularly and was fine, 2 months after it was ok, I was lacking zink and folic acid. Lack of Zink is a major cause of hair loss. I went to my obgyn because I have never been able to take zink, he suggested children's flinstone with minerals. Has worked, bloodwork is great again and my bald spots have hair on them, and it has only been 3 months of taking them. I also found that focus on Protein is great, but you actually do need veggies too, which is where zink comes from, and i was not eating any. Best of luck

Morning gals well went for a 3 hr interview and tour last night.... how impressive, my name is out in the industry.. i think it is paying off... I am going to take a pay cut... $2/hr but... will have health insurance again, paid time off, holidays and personal days and 2 weeks vacation... and during the busy season i can have all the ot i want, from 10-30 hrs a week, so i can save save save... and be ok when i'm only working 30 hrs during the winter. I have to pass drivers license check, no problem... and then i am going to start on Tuesdays only in April, I have to take a test to be certified and they want to prepare me for it. I have to go discuss with my boss today, but... i'm slow, job is winding down, i'll loose my ot there but will still have 40 hours and i'll get a pay check from new job... good thoughts, this is going to be tough coordinating 2 jobs. Judy, i need corned beef... can you send me some left overs? LOL i am nervous gals... i'm not a great test taker... they gave me a copy of their book to borrow to study from specifically for the test. wooo hoo... i'm going to be out in the field...

Hi gals what a weekend Laura - you look so cute and prego, i didn't look it, just fat! Terry - when i had my fever last month I remember you telling horror story, so i took some of ds's liquid motrin and flushed and was ok, but i don't want to get used to taking it for the scary reason, i may need it one day Tracyk - thanks .... I don't know where things are going with kev, but believe it or not, he came to hang with my mom, who he has not seen in over a year, she said she was impressed and saw he was different. so who knows, but he is trying hard and we have been working hard on all the issues of the past to move on, i hope together, but can move on and forget the past. did that make sense??? i have been sick as a dog since my birthday, aparently pizza cheese and onion chips are bad when you don't have a gall bladder to process or filter out that stuff, everything is going right through me for 4 days hi everyone else, i had a bunch of stuff, but ds is starving and have to get him dinnner

hi gals just a quick check in, just got out of a meeting and going for a walk in a min. thanks for the birthday wishes... we just ordered pizza and wings for dinner... should i say that is now going to be 5lbs tomorrow morning? oh well, i'll drink 10 gallons of warm lemon water to flush it away, only comes once a year ttyl

Morning gals i gained 2 lbs and it is bloat, i felt my fingers swelling last night WTF, I have a big weekend planned but doing the 5 day on Monday. drinking my coffee, have to work late so i'm a little laxed this morning hope you all have a good day, i'm sure i'll be checking in from work. I try to get on there and at least read post, sometimes i can't auto log on from there so i just read and shut down have a great day

Hey gals quick check in, got a new replacement phone and i'm trying to make it work.... frustrating trying to get my mail on my phone well, it does seem that Kev has been a totally different person, oh wait, he has turned back into the person i really fell in love with, and we are taking it one day at a time and have worked through a tremendous amount of issues, mostly his and of course i have not been a saint so we have delt with that too. But he does know we have some stuff left to deal with but also i'm not waiting forever and not letting him walk all over me. so slow and steady Wayne turned out to be a shit head, he was stringing his ex along while seeing me and got back with her and won't even acknowledge me because she is jealous .... what ever, i guess he was not mr perfect. I do miss talking to him though. anyway, going to read the next book, i need to sync my phone to my computer and don't have the energy to deal, I have to work late tomorrow, so sucks to be me

Happy Birthday Denise Tracyks - glad to have you back you have always inspired me more than you know Tracyk- yup just feel like i've gained it back but 4lbs feels like 400 I am going to the st pattys parade saturday and having 1 more drinking day, then I'm done for a bit... although i don't eat when i drink and that is how i lost the 8lbs i gained (when i was not drinking and eating everything in sight) I love my wl support group but i need a banding group here. I am going to get my passport this week, I was told i need one (that Kev thing again) and to make sure the kids have them too, and he is paying for them. I was also asked what my ring size is... i told him i didn't have a clue but had a ring next to my bed he can take... i don't know what he is up to

Morning gals quick check in, I don't really want to get into it but having a really rough week. I'll get past it, i always do. Sometimes i wish i could just go away for a day and not have to deal with anything. Jane - you and your family have my prayers. Hope Tracyks i ok i finally bought a pr of 14 jeans last night, i guess that is a good thing even if i feel like i've gained it all back. hope you all have a good day

Hi guys kat - I' am sure that i'll tell the story it is long and drawn out, i've had good days and bad days, today is not a great day for me, and this is a huge part of the problem, in a nutshell, he is working hard where here should have been for me for ever, and i get scared of the past and run away and today i'm' running fast. anyway, quiet weekend here here i only had 2 pages to catch up on. hope you all enjoy the rest of your day i don't know what i'm going to make for dinner, we went to lunch and i ordered a rubin, had 3 bites and that was all i could eat, you would think with my stress and lack of eating i would weigh 100lbs, and I am getting obsessed with not loosing again and that is depressing me more

Haydee I love Keith Urban and he is coming in May to Mohegan Sun with Sugarland, another favorite, but, I had a hard time with $59 tickets so I can't justify $110 for nosebleeds at this point....plus the cost of staying there. We don't get any good country bands close to home and we have a huge summer concert season, mostly rock, Nickleback is coming and i'll get a 4pack of tickets for $25 (lawn) and Crue Fest and that is pretty much it for now. bummer

Happy Friday gals DD went to the show last night, she said it was good but very disappointed because it was not quiet what she expected. Mom said it was very political too. I passed out after I got my Def Leppard/Poison tickets, that is dd's birthday present. Kev (yes ladies i said it) has reserved a limo to take her (and friends and me) to the concert. Long story... i'll share it some day... I am back up to 199 and can't get rid of this bloat, i know that is what it is, my feet and hands are swollen, and i've been very good eating this week, i don't understand. Well I will check in from time to time this weekend, tonight going to my friend's birthday party, tomorrow i'm cleaning the garage, actually going to be 50 and sunny, tomorrow night going to see a band and sunday recovering.... Judy - i'm so glad everyone is well and home.
