1day at a time

I thought you would love those stories. I love all the pics you posted. Nels is so adorable. Okay I am late but Happy Bandiversary. Her is to year 3 we get ourselves back on track. You have been through so much and accoplished so much. Love ya Julie Thanks Linda for all the encouragment. i am using this time to get refocused on myself and career. Okay ladies I wanted to say thank you to everyone for all of there support and prayers. I can do this and with all of your help I actually have not went off the deep end ecspecially after getting laid off. I love you all and even though we are in all different areas of our journey in life it helps me know that there is someone always out there thinking of you. I love each an every one of you and God willing I will get to eventually meet you all face to face.

Thank you for the advice everyone. Jewel i will look into the assist website you gave me. I also always wanted to work for the March of Dimes I usually walk every year and I just started ealking in the Relay for Life. They are both non profit but it would be so cool to have a job where the purpose was to raise money. But that is all volunteer maybe if we win the lottery I could work for some place like that. Oh and be a dog walker or animal petter (if that makes sense) at the Humane society that would be so rewarding to me but I would come home with way to many animals

That is what we need a self defense class for us against the carb monster. Not against an attacker like a human but against our attacker the cookie. LOL

I always wanted to go to school to become a Ultrasound tech. But I am scared cause I would have to retake some tests to get in and redo Math and English which were never my favorites. However they have continuing education for adults that had some certificate programs for Medical Admin Asst, Surgical Tech, or Dialysis Tech. medical jobs are what alot of people are looking for now. I am looking into getting assitance to go back to school from the Dept of Labor

Thank so much I think that is what I am going to do.

So the good thing about not working is time to get myself back on track. I have been through this phase like a million times but ladies should I do the 5 day or just start right with Janet's food menu she posted. I need to get off the self pity pot with my eating and back on the program no excuses it is just me and what I have in the house so no outside influences. My DH said last night I should take my band out because I can pb at dinner I had a crazy taco salad at a mexican resturant but then got a desert and no problems. Then had two cookies he brought home. I first I thought he was being mean but he was just trying to say you spent all this money and you are eating crap. So lets refocus myself. My med change has made me feel good so I am not down just the carb sugar curse got me again okay well the truth still has me

To funny you have to keep me posted on what happens when the baby is born. Well ladies I went to job fair. It was insane alot of people were there trying to get you to open your own business or like costco wanted you to renew your membership. I did get some information on assitance to going back to school to change careers so I am going to read up on that and alot of other info on some of the companies websites you have to go onto to apply. So it was not a bust but not as helpful as I thought it would be. So I am off to clean my house I will chat with you guys later

Yes they are on so many procedures involving pain. Heck even when they are sick LOL I have heard of this before maybe I should try it. I am assuming he was talking about red wine (i really never could find a good tasting one) My is 15 and I try to call him my little boy at home only he likes it sometimes. But he just went back to school 10th grade and he has a wait lifting class so now he comes home and shows me his muscles and then limps the rest of the night say owww :thumbup: Not funny but it is cause he will always be my baby even if he wants to act tough all the time

yeah my DH was not anywhere excited about them going down there with a needle and a scapel needless to say us woman are stonger when it comes to that

Laura - that was a beautiful story. I don't want you to cry but my 15 year old got his learners in July and just applied for his first job. I can so relate to this story and the fact it is scary when they want to grow up faster than you want them too. Apples - I am so glad you are back Jewel - thanks for your kind words. i actually always wanted to get into the medical field maybe it is time to go back to school but at the same time I need a job with insurance. Well ladies to big job fairs tomorrow one in the county I live in and then one in the nex county over so I am working on my resume as I type this up. Love you all

Linda I agree with Laura and everyone you look beautiful and so skinny. Your GD looked like she had alot of fun with you

Thanks everyone for all your kind words and encouragment. You are all right I hated the job and and made me feel depressed and have panic attacks so I believe this is a blessing in diguise. I have already started looking. I have my resume mostly together and I am searching my paper work from my last lay off almost two years ago so I can go to the DOL today and file unemployment. I do not have a problem asking for help I share everything with all of you right. Sorry I have not been a good board buddy not reading all the posts I guess I have time now I will keep in touch and let you all know what is going on. My head is high and I actually feel good now I can devote time to me.

You are not making me feel bad the economy is what it is. However my husband has a small business and I carry the insurance so I have to find something soon not only for the paycheck my the insurance mostly for my other health issues. I woke up this am took a shower, got coffee and not looking ont he internet then I am going to the labor board to file for unemployment. The economy needs to improve or something so many people are hurting right now.

I went to the Dr she is changing my meds because I have been on the same combination for a long time so I felt better when I left just now got to get another job

So my boss is not a problem anymore. I just got laid off an hour ago I am crying as I right this what am I going to tell my DH we can't afford Cobra insurance we need my paycheck. I only get 1 more paycheck. I went to the dept of labor but since I got laid off at my last job I need my severance pay from that so I have to go back with a bunch of info before I can fill it out i was already going to the doctor today because my panic attacks are worse no what maybe i need to check in somewhere or go on a trip and regroup but with what money

So I was feeling good no I am not. I just got laid off an hour ago I am crying as I right this what am I going to tell my DH we can't afford Cobra insurance we need my paycheck.

Charlene - I need the reminder everyday to Love and Accept myself so that is why they face towards me and not in a color that anyone can see when it heals.

Laura - love the photos what did your mom say about the cake? I thought Nels picking it out was so cute. Linda - i hope your puppy is going to be okay.

Kimaly - I finally got my white wrists tattoos. My left wrist say Love My right wrist says Acceptance they face towards me and are in white so it looks like a scar they are awseome they stand for Love and Accept myself

I read the book and it was very good. i hope the movie does the book justice. So times Movies tend to change the book for better ratings.

I would tell her to ask her gyno. My dr told me for a women having a baby then had to have a cesarean then they would go ahead and do it the older way. However if you are having a cycle they can not do the procedure since they would not have a clear view of the tubes. So they probably would have to wait till she heals. Tell her to google essure and it should have everything she wants to know about it on there. All I can say it yesterday I hurt so bad but today is so much better just still very sleepy.

I chose to do it because medically I am not to have have kids anymore due to a prior to lapband medical issue. i don't mind sharing it does not bother me. I feel much better than i did yesterday thank you for asking. Charlene - love the Pic

Hey all I am home. All I can say is the essure tubal hurt like a witch. The give you valium, lortab and a shot of torodial which helps and makes you loopy. Anyways i feel beeter now below is what the essure is all about. It is different than the way they used to do tubals. The cool thing was I got to see my cervix and tubes and everything on tv which is cool if you like that kind of stuff. " Essure is covered by most insurance providers, and if the Essure procedure is performed in a doctor's office, depending on your specific insurance plan, payment may be as low as a simple co-pay. Essure offers women what no birth control ever has No surgery, burning or anesthesia No hormones No slowing down to recover Performed in less than 10 minutes Peace of mind - your doctor can confirm when you can rely on Essure for birth control With Essure, you'll never have to worry about unplanned pregnancy again. The Essure procedure is permanent and is NOT reversible. "

janet - Love the hair cut oit makes you look so young. Sorry guys to manny posts to catch up on. Tomorrow I am going to get my tubes tied what fun. so I will not be at work for two days yeah but then I will be in pain :thumbup: Well I will chat tomorrow love you all
