Shrinking Violets - Part 5!



Recommended Posts

I can be so good for so long and then nothing happens, so I give in to the cravings and it's binge time.

This is me to a T, Judy. Sigh. I'm hoping that my two upcoming short-term goals (WDW in 8 days, followed by the wedding just 11 days after I get back from WDW) will keep me honest & on track. So far, so good!

Sorry to read that, Laura.

Well we got it flavored cherry, didn't do any good. Spit out what I first tried, then when I forced it he gagged and threw it up. I'm going to resort to the spoonful of chocolate Syrup with the meds I have read about online.

Going to be a long 10 days. Russ is in there rocking him now, he's not wanting to go to sleep despite being ridiculously tired.

READY FOR IT HAYDEE?! :smile:

Did I say already, at his 1st birthday party it was like suddenly things clicked in his head.. he waves bye-bye now, and braves steps off of furniture (he's made a couple now), he squats and tries to stand back up after picking something up, and talks a LOT. It all started at his bday party, so everyone got to see all this. Besides the waving, he's attempted things, but sporadically.. but at his party he waved bye bye to everyone, attempted to walk during present opening, etc.

Anywho... We finally got him to go to bed around 8:30, it's 9:30 and he just woke up screaming. You can tell he hurts. Stupid bacteria and crap. Wish they gave them pain meds!!!! I am scared he's going to end up with tubes, on Monday the doc said we need to watch for it, since he had 2x ear infections, then some leaking without infection, and then here we are 2 days later and he has an infection. We were called to the daycare earlier today that he had a 103.5 fever. I figured it was from immunizations, but ped said bring him in.. and then it was an ear infection. DARN IT.

My brother had tubes in his ears and so has his middle daughter. It wasn't much of a big deal.....just no more ear infections!!

Not much going on here. Just the same old stuff every day. Gia's social worker came by yesterday. She had told Gia in early March that she would take her to Hot Topic if she was good getting up in the morning. She asked when they could go. Kimberly said when you have done everything Suzanne says with no argument for a month. Wow, that will be a while.....

Well, guess I'd better go check on Gia -- she's eating Breakfast.< /p>

Good morning, Violets..

Ethan has arrived for the day so you know what I'll be doing!

Laura.. so sorry to hear about Carson and the ear infections. I remember lots of kindergarten kids with tubes in their ears. It seems to be a pretty common thing. Hope he gets some relief soon. And YOU too! Isn't the waving bye, bye or hello too cute?? Grady does it all the time when he sees me, plus he does patty cake every time I pick him up. I love it.

Off to get some tuna for breakfast. I was a good bandster in my eating yesterday. Hopefully I can handle day 2. I got one of the skirts from ebay in the mail yesterday and it fits perfectly. I'm guessing the second one will fit also, so there is half of my Texas wardrobe.

Everyone have a great day!!

Didn't earth day used to be a different day? Like I am thinking April 1 or something. Am I dreaming or making things up again??

I was looking on the internet last night and did a search for plus size clothes and found a plus size resale shop, think I am going to pop in today. I am not going in til 3:00 because of lack of business, so I think I am going to pop in and see what they have. I might find some treasures!!

Have a good day!!!!!

Earthday is April 22nd each year . . . but I can never remember and always have to look it up, lol. We always go to a big event at the Cleveland Zoo which was last Sunday. However, we skipped it this year because the day was overcast and rainy and Ayla was cranky so I just couldn't muster up the energy to try and make it work. I guess there is always next year. :0)

Good afternoon, Violets..

Looks like it's going to be a Veggie Tales day. Netflix has a neat set up where if you have a Wii console connected to the internet, you can download movies directly to the tv. Bob has been watching the first season of X files and Ethan and I have been watching Elmo and the Grouch and Veggie Tales movies today. Fun, fun, fun!!!

We're waiting for Grampa to finish lunch so we can get the 10 bags of mulch put in the backyard for me to spread. It's 46 degrees out and sunshine, so good weather to work!

My second skirt came today and it's really nice. Now to get the tops coordinated for the Texas trip. Won't be long now, ladies!!!!!!

Drive by question... I know we are not supposed to use Aleve with our bands.. but what about Motrin??? anybody know?

The whole motrin issue is why we do not use advil w/ the band. These anti-inflamatory meds are hard on the gastrointestinal tracks (trust me...ended up in the er w/ "butt bleeding" from ibuprofen). If you need to take Advil or a Motrin med, do it w/ food, not before you lay down, and not for a long period of time. When my back acts up, I've cheated and taken them, but it is the only non narcotic I can take that helps at work.

what hurts? knee?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
