Morning gals what a treat to wake up and have the site working. I am running late.didn't sleep well or much last night and I'm getting ready for church.

hi all i'm just getting in... speed reading so I am sure I missed lot bad food day again... I need to do shakes for a few days... i need to get rid of this bloat. back to the gym monday, no excuses!!!

Michelle... looking good girlfriend... Tracyks- dd looked the same, we found her baby pics and it was hard to tell them apart. well, I'm off for lunch. next week when I'm not so bloated and I have my camera back and working I'll post some pics.

Laura - his attitude reflects how cute he is... it is very hard to stay mad at him and at the same time he needs his butt kicked to get him to focus. I have to almost yell in his face to get him back from whatever silly out of control place his in in sometimes. dd - she use to be the same way... now she is a lazy teenager and we don't get to have much fun anymore. LOL Well, I'm going to have to work my butt off next week, I didn't even hop on the scale this am, I know it is bad, back up to fill weight yesterday but... I'm sure it will come off easily, it usually does after tom actually gets here... While I am out of control eating (although I feel much tighter today for some reason) I am going to have lunch with one of my close friends, she was working out of her house so we talked every day and had lunch a couple times a month, and then Oct 1 she had to go work back in the office, so we have so much to catch up on... I am still in the funk,,, but I don't quite know if I can cry anymore. My eyes are swollen and I look like hell, but I think I dehydrated myself. I also got my fireplace working this am... stinks which makes me nuts, but I cleaned it all out with keyboard cleaner and omg ... just like the instructions said... works! I'll have to try that to clean out the one downstairs, they are both different, upstairs has a mantle and downstairs looks like a wood stove but it is a gas fireplace. great heat source. ok enough blah blah blah kat - your stories were cracking me up. I wrote on that earlier but my post vanished! Michelle - CONGRATS!

I am a late sleeper... but then again, If i'm working days by then, pray for me, then things might be a bit different. right now... noon sounds good to me. LOL

I typed up a huge post this morning and i don't know where it went.... how frustrating well, i'm off be back shortly

oh i'm so excited for me... i shrunk the pic and did it all on my own! he was waving and yelling to my aunt and uncle in the pic... he was nuts tonight night

lets see if I can do this... here is ds with his new outfit. He wanted to come home and send a pic to my aunt in LA, who sent money for his birthday clothes. sorry about the date, I didn't realize it reset to something crazy - I dropped the camera and pcs were everywhere

hi gals Kat - I'm cracking up... ya have to love kids... well, today was a total food day for me again... i better get my period soon or I'm going to explode. If i am going to get it early it better hurry. Well I'm off to bed spent 4 hrs at jc penny at a super sale, got 4 shirts (M) and a cami for $24 how can you beat that? ds was so funny - he spends too much time with girls. he was trying on clothes and picking out tops like my dd. You can tell what I do all the time... when he said, mom, where is the mirror so I can see how I look... did the total turn around and had to check himself all out... my mental issues rubbing off

Terry let us know what about the 1st weekend in April? before Pam's thing? When is Easter this year? I thought March?

Tracyks - you look fab....

Ok ladies the following weekend in May is great for me... will be warmer outside too. I am with Kat, as long as we can get together...that is what is important.. and would be nice for Denise to get to come too.

Morning Violets another day...I am up and showered.... while some of you are still sound asleep. I am 2-3 hrs ahead of most of you aren't I? Oh well. I am going to drop ds off at the sitters. My headlight blew yesterday so I have to get that fixed. I have to go get some keyboard cleaner to get my gas line to my fireplace cleaned out (found the cleaning instructions online yesterday) I want to clean out my car - it is full of water bottles and mail out some paperwork that should have gone out 2 weeks ago. JC Penney is having a huge sale today, tomorrow & Sat, so I'm taking some money my aunt left me for ds's bday and getting him some new clothes. Has anyone been to one of their sales? I get dd's school stuff there and usually save $300-400 and we get tons of stuff. They have ds's size jeans on sale for $11.99 then 50% off that and I have coupons that came in the mail $15 off $75. He has so much stuff and never plays with any of it. He is so cute.... sometimes when we are home together for days makes me a little nuts, but cute. Mom got him the Cootie game yesterday. Anyone Remember that????? (it was my favorite when I was his age) he is going to be 4... he read the directions on how to put it together and told my mom how to do it. she got angry with him and told him to stop he was doing it wrong, he went and picked up the directions, opened them up and said no grammy, this is how it goes... see. And you all wonder how I just keep on going... that is what does it.. (he is still going to the sitters today) Well, i'm out... enough blah blah blah for now

Hey gals Just getting in from work. That weekend in May is perfect for me too, I'm flexible and don't really care what anyone says right now. I told stepmom about it and I needed a weekend off in April and I thought she was going to have a stroke. Tough shit, I cover for everyone... figure it out... I'm giving 6 months notice As for the place, I was looking today, I still say indoor pool and/or a hot tub. oh wait, if i keep going like i did today, I'll take the entire hot tub, and it will overflow. either way, count me in on whatever you decide

Hi all. In so many ways I want to move south but ... there are so many things stopping me right now... 1. my dd 2. money 3. my credit sucks I have a 5 year plan, going to rent my house and move south, dd will be graduating hs and I promised her I would not do it until then. she loves her friends and school, and she has put up with so much with dbf that I don't want to tramatize her. Then there is the money and credit issue. but 5 years seems so far yet so close. Kat, I am glad you are ok and will be.. I can't wait to hug you back pamela - love the pic... you look great... mess and all today I might be prematurely pms (not due for 2 weeks) I ate more tonight than in the past month and feel bloated, but no makeup and look like a little kid, jeans, long john shirt with an old now huge t-shirt over it, never dried my hair and no makeup. I looked like hell, and boy... did everyone I see make sure to tell me that...

yup, that is me... i just keep on going... pretending like everything in my world is just great. i just ate 3 spoons of ds's mac & cheese because I'm in such a funk... yup... pb within seconds... i'm spinning out of control... off to get ready for work...

Kat - you are in my prayers, I'm sorry, but glad that is the one. Terry is right, a good long time friend had the same thing 6 years ago, no chemo, they removed it and she is good to go. xxoxoxoxoxox and here I am whining about nothing

I am in a funk ladies, don't really know why or how to get out of it. I am bumming about money, a day job, I am greatful that step mom has a job for me, but i feel like all the school and 15 years in lending/banking/hr work was for nothing. dbf is taking certificate in cad class. I would have done it with him if I knew, I had a cad class but wasn' enough for me to understand and I think that is what has kept me from some jobs. I don't know if I'm just depressed or angry... or a little of both. I don't want to give up my dream but I feel like I can't get a job doing what I want, even to intern. I feel like I'm going to be working in the pizza shop for the rest of my life, and that really depresses me.

Laura - just keep them you never know when or if you might need them. I had a crazy borrower look me up in the phone book and track me down, that scared the crap out of me so I understand what you are saying. $900 for a cd... she is nuts

Jane - we can work something out... and it is understandable... we all have our issues... shoot, i didn't go to the bathroom for 10 days because I was sharing a condo with some friends, I even had my own bathroom. so see... LOL

Laura - that is insane. People are nuts! did you save your emails? what a wack job!

Kat - You are in my prayers - I am going to be waiting to hear you are ok... HUGS

LOL - that about sums it up for me too Terry I am so tired working nights and having energy during the day I sleep like i"m dead for the first time in my life.

it is so very cold here.. it was 75 yesterday and if it hits 60 today that will be amazing. I am going to clean my fireplace so i can have heat at night.

Kat- I know they don't rent bikes around me but down south they do. hmmmmmmm. but I have not been on one in a year, never put mine on the road this year and now it is gone I don't care where I sleep. I know I use to snore very loud but my dd tells me I have not in a long time... so i am not as freaked out about sharing a room... and I have bathroom issues when around people so i don't have to worry about that either. LOL just a bunch of cheap drunks (I know I am these days) having a great girls weekend. I am so excited. Michelle. I was checking out that link. where are the cabins? are they the condo's? I was so confused. either way it looks so nice. April in MD /DC is beautiful.
