Lyn... THANK YOU!!! I needed to laugh today! I laughed so hard I almost... well you know! You are too funny. Did you ask your brother if it gave him any ideas!!!!

[renewedhope 4]

Oh Lyn, That is soooo funny!! You always crack me up!!

BEWARE......WAY TMI!!!

Ok, It is probably way inappropriate to share this on this thread, but I just couldn't resist. You all will understand the significance of this more than anyone so I just have to share. Last night I put on my sports bra(it holds the girls up better than any other), a tight fitting tshirt and some of those very short cotton short (you know, the ones that don't even cover your backside). Ok, all dressed and ready for DH to come home. We love to ride 4 wheelers and DH's 4 wheeler is in the carport at the back of the house where he parks. When I knew he was fixing to be home I put a small banket over the 4wheeler and sat in a seductive manner on his 4wheeler. He got home and didn't even look toward the carport. As he walked by I wistled at him. The look of shock on his face was priceless. The rest I will leave to your imagination. This is SO out of character for me, but I have to say, I felt so attractive and free spirited. Last night he said that I have a sparkle in my eyes that has been gone for a long, long time, and that the fiesty spirit is coming back!! I told him that he better watch out, after my tt there is no telling where he might find me waiting for him!!:biggrin:

Ok, planning to run outside today. It's raining. Will run on treadmill later. Cleaning house and rearranging furniture this morning!!

You guys are cracking me up!!! Renewed! I got teary eyed reading your story... ok, maybe because I was laughing hard... but it touched me! What a moment!

Luluc... is your training good lookin'? Cause I think I'd need that to do what he makes you do! OMG you are a fitness goddess!!!!

I'm being really lazy and boring today. I haven't even moved my butt once! Boo hiss boo! OK.. its 3:30 and I have to get some exercise in... and maybe some lunch? ?? I'm kindof down in the dumps today! I get these days, especially since being layed off. Bills are piling up and no money comin' in... sad! Thanks for making me laugh! Needed it.

kathy - he is VERY pretty :crying:, he also trains my husband. not sure which he prefers :cursing: though....but he really has become a member of our family. he's house sitting for us in dec/jan for 2 wks - so he's earned hubbys trust.

on the job front. i hope things turn around for ya! i've not worked in over 2yrs & feel the pang to do so - but i was in high tech sales & had to give up the life of travel out of a suitcase. trying to figure out myself what i want to do when i grow up - hubby says, stay home and take care of him. financially can do so - intellectually - talking to the farm animals has made me loopy....:thumbdown:

Don't get me wrong... I'm really enjoying this time off work. I've worked 70hr weeks for about 8 years now. So having a bit of time to recharge is great. I now have some real time with the kids... not rushed and planned. But the financial strain is very hard. My DH only brings in 1/4 of our old income. So its been a real strain trying to figure out how to live off of that 1/4!!! and my DH is not really doing well with cutting back. He likes to live high! Ok, enough whinning... I think that's why I'm liking the running so much... high pressure, and results! HAHA

kathy, I think it is appropriate to express your blue feeling here. It effects all aspects of your life. You know that it is all about balance. Physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, social. Sometimes when one part is off it sets the other parts off balance.

I know I have experience those days of not moving too. And you gave me permission! Therefore, I return the permission for you to have a recharge day.

I hope things look up on the work front for you. But try to enjoy what this time of your life journey can bring to you. What can you learn from it and how can you grow from it? It is great to be able to enjoy your family and your home. It won't be long and you will be back to work wishing you were home. (The bills bite!!!!!) I am thinking of you and wishing you the very best. I also love to hear about your fun family acivities. It sound like you have a fabulous husband and kids and a great social support system.

Renewed - I have a new found love for 4 wheelers!!!!!

My husband called me several times today and left heavy breathing voice messages for me. Really funny too

My brother doesn't need any pointers; but it said he learned things about me - he would rather have not know. OMG!!!! I am still dyin""

I am going to attempt an all time running record high of 25 minutes tonight. Drum roll please! My legs are burning from running correctly (no toes). Wish me luck and endurance.:thumbdown:

Kathy, I can relate to what you are talking about. I stay home as well. until a year ago I worked outside the home, and until the past few years earned most of our income. DH got a much better job and we decided that I should stay home. I made 50K a year, so this has been a big adjustment. It seems lately that money just gets tighter and tighter. I also get bumbed about it, but I know I am supposed to be home with the kids. Man i hate being broke. I have also been offered 2 jobs in the last month. DH thought I should turn them down. I love being at home. I would just love to relieve the financial burden a little. I have thought about working a couple of days a week. DH jsut really wants me at home, especially when he comes home to find me on the 4 wheeler. LOL

[renewedhope 4]

BTW, I have had a non exercise, eating what I want kind of day. Oh my. It is rainy here and I have rearranged furniture and laid around all day!! I will get my butt in gear tommorow.

OK here is a new picture.

Thanks you guys! I really appreciate you listening to me vent. I'm in a better mood now. Family walk did the trick... who'da thunk it! Exercise could make you feel better! LOL.

Lyn... I'm still laughing at the iPhone! Sexy hair you dirty talking goddess!

Renewed... 4-wheelers will forever be changed in my mind! Glad I'm not the only one taking it easy today. Needed it though. But tomorrow I'm going for 28 min!

Lynn... hope your 25 min run went well!

[luluc 6]

OK here is a new picture.

you fox...but i'm a red head too!!!

dark, dark auburn - but i'm partial to the red side..

your profile is so slimming - charmingly elegant!!

[Kathybad 0]

I'm a red head too... not by nature though. By nature I'm 99% salt and 1% pepper! So I go dark brown with the red tint... then when it fades, the red gets more intense. I wish I was a natural red head! While I'm at it, I wish I looked like "Addison" from Grey's Anatomy... now that's hot!

[renewedhope 4]

I must say, it was the most fun I've had on a 4 wheeler. :thumbup:
