Hi gals just checking in, relaxing a bit, painted my bathroom most of today Tracyks - i'm so sorry you can't swing the trip.... but tell me again why not????/ and what day is your wedding? I know it is soon and you are so excited and going to look stunning and I love your dress, but as we all know, i was mental for a bit (ok still am) but getting there and I need to know when I need to be there for the big event only kidding Anyway, I'm trying so very hard to do something, it took every ounce of what i had to paint but it was 60 here today, almost unheard of! but last year, I got out of school mid December, my dd took care of ds most of the time and i slept, cried, slept and didn't move off the couch. so yeah me for at least being 10,000 times better already.

Hey, here is a thought... why don't you guys throw some places out there that you can travel to for the 250 deal and maybe that will help. only 4 showed up from albany so that might help????? Mohegan sun in Mystic Ct?

Hi gals Here is my thought, I'm sorry i don't fly, I'm willing to drive 10 hrs, I don't mind that at all, and I'm open to suggestion. If I recall someone said no Atlantic City because I think I recall it is dirty, but a nice resort may be fun? I am very go with the flow, I honestly love the idea of an indoor private pool, hot tub, and it is beautiful in MD in May and just being with my violet sisters, so what ever you guys think is good for me. I did look at cities from albany, PA and FL seemed to be the big ones and FL might be too far. I don't know, I'm so wishy washy, but I do love Splash Mt. idea. Dont forget anyone can fly to albany or anywhere in between if it is easier, i can pick you up in my travels. love ya all

Morning gals need coffee... so tired, stayed up reaing my magazine and didn't sleep well at all and had to get up to babysit in 30 mins,... COFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee

pamela - I know, i talk to dd frequently never to take the shit i take from her dad and that i would never put up with it from anyone else, and she sees that. I am going to put my jeans on and go out there and do my best, but at least i'm going to hold my head high and know i'm protecting my / our children. he is quickly being demoted. LOL Pray for me, i just don't have the money for an atty so i hope i'm good.

I was just reading a very interesting article in my prevention magazine that came in today. I will post more info if you would like, but it had to do with reducing belly fat by eating nuts, oil, avacado, olives or chocolate (1 serving) at every meal. silly small amounts but reduces belly fat as well as reduces bad cholestrol. HMMMMMM... I can cook in a tsp of olive oil... have 2tbs of nuts as a snack, and dark chocolate... peanut m&m's ... sounds good to me also said 1600 cals a day... 400 cals each meal 4-5 hrs apart... and to try to keep each meal the same cals which will regulate it all... kind of sounds familiar and since i've been watching i'm back down ... just found it interesting and thought i would share

OMG Medium is back on tonight, it has been off for a while. I love this show but hate when it has to do with little kids - but man... what a first show. well i'm off to relax - might even have a little drink, really stressed about everything going on with court and don't have a clue what to think or expect, I just vent here but pretend it doesn't bother me. The atty is going to call me but told my step sister it is not going to be good because he is on disability so hopefully i will talk to her tomorrow. I picked up the paper today so I can request 1/2 health insurance payments but i don't know what else to do, i talked to him shortly a couple times, he is not good I will not settle for less money but something is not right with him and he couldn't talk about it but sounded like shit... yup... either way, it is something and 17 years, i feel it, and even if i'm mad, i care

Road trip??? LOL Tracyk - sorry you didn't get the job, but i know that story I have a great new job idea but I'm not telling until I make some calls tomorrow.

OMG Kat, I'm so confused I am so glad there was a happy ending, and I think it was the same story on the news this am here. I thought so but you confirmed. You are so kind

Welcome back Haydee. I've been typing and multitasking for so long your post just came up.

Tracy - how beautiful you are and I love the dress and yes, up with the hair! Terry - what a very nice thing you are doing. i am sure Tracy will be just as happy as I am with mine. You have a special gift. Pam - thanks for starting this and glad we are going to cloe the other, I know we tried that once before and we just never moved. Well, another day, I wore my new jeans and got so many compliments. I would love a pic but don't think i want to see myself on film yet, I actually borderline like the way I look and don't want to destroy that. Tried to get my hair trimmed and eyebrows done today so I look extra good for court next week, if nothing else, I have to look better than the EX! Going to dad's bday dinner tonight, not looking forward to that because step mom made her vanilla pudding/pineapple cake, OMG so moist and yummy and I am not going to have any. WE are not going to dinner because I am having problems eating anything these days because of the antibiotics and the kids won't eat sauce and they are having chicken catchatori (sp). Dad just called me back from when I called him hours ago and he has no idea we are going over or what he is doing for dinner... nice huh? I think i'm going to close my eyes for 30 mins... no wonder why i don't sleep well. LOL

I have to thank you ladies for all your support and kicking my ass. Since I have had surgery and met my violet sisters, I no longer cry for hrs when something with him happens and I have all of this to thank you all for. 1. Support in getting me to a better place 2. Starting to think I actually look good and deserve to have something special 3. I am much stronger and take less crap 4. Have a fantastic group of people I am proud to call my friends. the list goes on and on and on... I love you all... thank you for helping me this next couple weeks stand up for what is right

I get Sam's Club water at walmart, a case of 24/20oz bottles are only $4 and I drink at least 3 a day but usually 4 and i add crystal light to go packs. They are not as strong in the 20 oz bottles. Most water out there are in the 16oz bottles and that means I have to drink 1 more and the crystal light is a bit stronger and I don't care for it as much. hope that helps... have a great first day back!

Hmmmmmmm. 130 days ... that means if I lose 1.5lbs a week until then I will be at my goal weight.. can i do it??? yes i can or I'll die trying... LOL funny, my goal weight is where Judy is now but Looking in the mirror, if my tummy was gone I would be so happy with myself right now and would probably put me in a size 12/14 where I've never ever been in my life!

It has been him for the last year, but not him for the last 16. I will do this. My scope for this month has a lot to do with the 18 & 19th so I'm going to need super violet power to be strong when I go. And I agree, I had to get rid my bike, he is going broke but keeps spending... I split my Y membership which is 35 a month, he pays a full 70 plus goes bowling every monday which is close to another70 a month... no fun if you don't have it. I don't do anything else. Anyway enough of that today is another day I just showered and now I am suddenly so tired. I have to get my friends dd on the bus this am and ds is going to the sitter. I have my new size 16 levi's on today (got them yest) and going to try to return my 18's i got the other day, they are way too big after they stretched out. Or maybe I'll wash them in hot water and wear them to work.

OMG i'm so mad, I just lost my first real important post Kat - my prayers are with your friends and their family. I think i just saw the story on my local news as I was reading your post... where are you? So I got about 30 minutes of sleep last night, was up thinking about the dbf situation and I'll be contacting an attorney today. DBF is going to be finalizing his settlement for his accident and will have millions which I want to make sure the kids are taken care of when he gets his money and bails. I am not going to bring my atty to court unless I feel backed into a corner but I need to know what my rights are and be prepared for what is to come next week and in the future. Pam - thanks for that great post. Fiber is something I need help with and there are some good ideas there. Well, I'm going to drink coffee and put a little primer on my bathroom, it is going to be 60 here which is almost unheard of so I am going to get my bathroom done this week.

Tracyks - you are right i'm sure, but he doesn't have one, so I'm going to talk to an atty friend who does family law and get some quick free advice on what to do and I am going in there with stuff in writing. I have to file my modification request and I want to make sure everything is covered. Jane - I am sure we all have our own little issues, I know I do, but I'm so excited about our trip I don't care... so... come on girlfriend... we are going to have so much fun and you are part of us! night all Tracyks - and I'm sure dh knows we share all here... LOL Well, I'm on a major job hunt again... I need to be working very soon by the end of Jan would be wonderful, that will give me the month to get things together. I am going to call some unions to see what kind of jobs they can get me. I might break down and ask my BIL, which i don't want to do, but just need to know what places to call

Hi everyone, just checking in. I am home from work and kind of a mess over this entire bf / court thing. I have not heard from him since earlier which is not like him at all. and I am weak when it comes to him, so I may have to hire an attorney to protect myself. i'm going to read the paper and try to find a job... and you better beleive when I grt one that I will not be working that weekend in may!

Hi michelle just checking in... you know I'm there and will be driving! can't wait

Michelle -- sign me up.... I got my first pedicure last fall, I'm in love... due for another as a matter of fact. I love flip flops and sandles so my toes have to look nice at all times.

I vote Splash Mt too! Pam, I got a bottle of tequilla for xmas, I'll bring it with me, and have a great margarita specialty. I only make those for special occasions and when I have company. The grape vodka is so good an only $12 a bottle... LOL

Morning gals Just getting up, woke up at 8 an mom was in the shower so I stayed in bed waiting for her to get out, next think I know it is 10am. nice. I'm going to shower and go get some more jeans... I got so many comliments and wear the others to work only and not care how disgusting they get and wear the cute ones to work on nights that I know I am not going to get dirty. Well, dbf wants to work through this, but I'm getting the feeling something bigger is going on. He wants to sit down and talk through it tomorrow, nice huh... I don't know what to think. Terry - i love looking at your jewelery, I get so many compliments on my necklace and love it to death. Judy - that is so nice, enjoy the Bobster at church today. You are funny - now if they could do a tummy tuck that way too... LOL Tracyks - isn't it funny to think how full you were and I had 3 small drinks on new year eve and I was feeling quite good, i'm sure you had a great time. Tracyk - I was looking in the mirror yesterday and noticed how small my legs look, so I can't imagine how tiny your legs are. I have not done my measurements in a while - maybe i'll do them today. All I know is i'm getting 16 mid rise levi's today and I can't remember ever getting a 16 levi let alone mid rise and getting so many compliments. Love you all, thanks for helping me make it this far

Thanks you you Judy, Crystal light is a major part of my life, and mixes well with lots of things... Anyone a vodka drinker... rasp crystal light and Grape Vodka... taste like grape coolade... yummy I am again excited about this trip, just what i need

yup... now that i think about it... going to be in a court room full of people who hate me and blame me for all their problems... JOY Pam - how nice, you are so cute... is that a little stud I see there? you guys look so happy night all

Hi gals. going to bed. so sick and tired. I ate 1/4 of a pc of garlic bread with a 1/2 chicken tender tonight and my stomach is not happy. was down to 207 = but i feel like i'm retaining tonight so keep your fingers crossed for me , or maybe i won't weigh in until Tuesday when ai have not been at work, either way, i know i'm not back up to 217 again. Tracyks, CONGRATS... i'm going to catch you if it kills me ... LOL you deserve those bananna's from Pam Kat - dbf is dad of both my kids.... and I understand his accident screwed him up and I'm surprised he didn't do this months ago, court is going to suck... going to get to see his x wife too, and that is not going to be pretty
