Awww Jenn he is adorable---like I told Pamela, keep your handsome boys away from my pretty little granddaughter!!! We don't need her tempted at 2!

Pamela--after all the years of daycare, I could co-author that book without problem! My DD and I were laughing---OK I was laughing, she was holding her jaw and telling me to stop---about one of those moments today. I was telling her what Kinsey had said, and she reminded me of her most embarassing moment with a kid. I have a bonus child--Megan--I began caring for Meg when she was 5 1/2 weeks old, and she still stops by at least once a week---and she is a sophmore in high school now. She come to my house long after I quit the day care business, or she no longer needed someone to babysit her---but this was what she did with her life---after school and during breaks, she lived here!!! I am actually her legal guardian should anything happen to her parents. So Megan was with us all the time. She is 12 years younger than my DD--so Manda was her hero---as a baby if she got in trouble her hands went in the air and she cried for Manda---and was rescued! So one day when Megan was about Kinsey's age of 2, we had her in Walmart, and she had to potty---so Manda took her while I stayed with some other girls I had at the time. There was a long line in the restroom, and Manda was entertaining Meg so she would make it, and finally a stall opened up, so they went in together....and the line continued to form behind them. She let Meg potty and decided to go herself---when Megan screeches "Manda you have hair on your butt!!" She said you could have heard a pin drop for a fraction of a second, and then the ladies in line and in other stalls just cracked up. She said she was tempted to stay in the stall for an hour and make them all clear out! She was still red when she brought Meg back to me!!! Now when you tell the story, it is Megan it embarasses. She is the same 12 years older than Kinsey that Manda was with her, so we tell her we are going to let Kinsey get even for Manda!!

Like you know, when you are that close with kids of that age, you hear ALL kinds of things!

My c is still making appearances, so guess the keyboard goes back, I tried hitting it with the canned air, nothing changed----I can't stand looking at it, so I delete it!

Rick had the chain saw pop up and nick his leg today, nothing serious, but he had to use it to prove his point about why he hates for anyone to go alone. I made him mad when I made some sort of smart aleck comment about yeah they have no one to show them what not to do then....ooops!!!

Tomorrow I have to get all the stuff together for this party---and I guess I will help Rick put some roofing paper on the car port at his parents. Nah, I am not going to get started!!

Will check back with all of you in the morning!!

Jenn- Your son is SO cute! Can I have him? ;D

Yay Michelle! Grats!!!

PMS is finally done (ironically I started Yaz yesterday hah), so hopefully I'll stop grazing. The past few days have been horrid, and instead of feeling guilty, I'm blaming it on TOM.

Pam- I'm with you, I'm proud of the 20/22's I'm wearing.. and the 23 pants I wear from a place I couldn't even wear their 25's pre-op!! 14/16.. not once in my life. By time they came out with the cute teen plus size clothes I was already in 18/20.

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!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
