My stupid idiot of a husband has taken both sets of car keys to work this morning. It is Eliza's daycare day, I have a lecture to get to, I needed to take the car in for assessment due to minor accident damage, I have a hair colour appointment at 11. am and I live in a stupid outer suburb and cannot possibly get to any of these things by public transport. The boys had to walk 3kms to school and will have to walk home too, they have basketball this arvo and I need to get Ewan to the doctors to get the plaster cast of his now healed broken arm.

Instead I am stuck in the house with my wallet and handbag tightly locked in my car. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

I have insisted that the stupid nong head courier the keys home to me when he gets to work.

But to the topic on hand - major stress and annoyance - I just ate two Arnotts cream biscuits and yep, I feel lots better!

Sorry -- had day like that recently and infact locked myself & 4 kids out of the house with cell phone safely locked inside the truck and no neighbors home. Had to walk about .5 miles to store & call hubby to bring keys home -- not a good start to the day -- did yours get any better?

Has happened several times here. I ring him and insist he bring them home. I dont care how he does it, just get them back to me. I have 4 kids...3 of them have to get to school and be picked up.

I know how you feel, as much as I know he doesnt do it on purpose it makes me sooooo angry.

We have several sets of car keys stashed in various places in the house for just this reason. There's also a hide-a-key stuck somewhere to the underside of the car. I keep the keys to both cars with me at all times, and so does my husband. We have only done what you describe once, and I will never let it happen again (knock wood).

You poor thing!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
