Good Morning all

I am feeling a bit better, still not even close to great, but better. I feel like someone is jumping on my chest, but physically better.

I'll catch up in a bit, it is ds's birthday and we are going to Chuck E cheese for 10am. Good because it will be over early and not crowded, but yuck, hard to get up and going.

Michelle - take care of yourself today, lots of tea

Good Saturday Morning.

Michelle, I hope it's a day in bed for you. You need to let your body rest. I have found that that is the best thing. Your body needs time to heal it's self. I'm sending hugs to you.

Jenn, Glad your on the mend. A morning at Chuckie's? I would still be in trouble. I can eat pizza anytime of the day.

Today hubby and I will be in and out. Lots to do. Most of it outside work. Need to do one more mowing for the year and hopefully finish up the leaves.

I hope Kat is having a great time.

Everyone have a great day and I'll check in soon.

Woke up this AM with my cold in my chest. I get Bronchitis really easy so I'm trying to stay on meds to get things moving so it doesn't settle. This is getting ridiculous! Ugh, you poor thing that is horrible! I feel so bad for ya!

Only thing on my agenda tomorrow is helping DH unload the truck and get the wood stacked in the shed, if I'm up to it. Otherwise, I'll be in my jammies, on the couch, with my pillow and a blanket and hot tea and/or orange juice! This is exactly what you need to do. Try hard to make it happen so you can be well :cursing:

We'll see what ACTUALLY occurs! LOL!

Good night!!

Good Morning all

I am feeling a bit better, still not even close to great, but better. I feel like someone is jumping on my chest, but physically better. Lucky for you that you posted! I was about to call out the national guard to go find you and drag you back in here kicking and screaming! :w00t: Glad you are feeling a bit better! I missed ya.

I'll catch up in a bit, it is ds's birthday and we are going to Chuck E cheese for 10am. Good because it will be over early and not crowded, but yuck, hard to get up and going. :unsure:That place opens that early? That is just a scary thought! My prayers are with you! LOL

Michelle - take care of yourself today, lots of tea

Good Saturday Morning.

Michelle, I hope it's a day in bed for you. You need to let your body rest. I have found that that is the best thing. Your body needs time to heal it's self. I'm sending hugs to you.

Jenn, Glad your on the mend. A morning at Chuckie's? I would still be in trouble. I can eat pizza anytime of the day. You can? That stuff kills me when I try to eat it! But I give it heck trying! :lol:

Today hubby and I will be in and out. Lots to do. Most of it outside work. Need to do one more mowing for the year and hopefully finish up the leaves. I don't know about there, but it has been beautiful here for the past week or so and it is going to last at least a few more days from what I hear! Outside work is great exercise.

I hope Kat is having a great time. Me too!

Everyone have a great day and I'll check in soon.

Hey chikkies :redface:

DD is away for the weekend and guess what I did this morning. Woke up at 5:30 and could not go back to sleep. :lol: That is about right, lol. But the great news is that if I wanna take a nap later I CAN! :lol:

Yesterday at dd school it was really fun! It was cool being out there with all of the kids. I have never done that before but plan on it being an every year thing now.

Yesterday I have to confess, I at some halloween candy :w00t:. But halloween candy and PMS is a deadly combo. At least I got it out of my system and can start a new day today.

We will probably go for a anice long walk today at the ark. They have a track that goes around the whole park and it has markers for each 1/4 mile. Today is the perfect day for it.

Have a fantastic day everyone and I hope the ill start feeling better.

:)

Hi all. I have to say, I hate men! I know that between them and not having any energy all week I feel lazy and depressed. I don't know what to do, I want to go out tonight all by my self! I don't want to be with anyone but I can't stay in the house. sad sad sad. I don't know what I'm going to do, I'm letting men make me crazy again... not just 1. I need to get my shit (sorry) together and do for me and stop trying to figure it all out!

so i'm going to have my pitty party and tomorrow have a new day and if i'm not around when they call, what can i do? I can't run my life on others and I'm doing it again:crying::unsure::crying::w00t:

Home from our running around and we have all the yard work done. I just got out of the shower and will get dressed here pretty soon. Church is at 4pm and I'm working the Nut Sale. lol. Our Women's Ministry is selling holiday nuts and candies and this is my weekend to man the station. Good thing I will be in Church where God sees all and will keep my fingers away from all the goodies. I do think I will pick up a bag of chopped walnuts. That way I will have them here for baking.

We went over to the Grand Opening of the Event Center. We wanted to see where are seats are for the concert. We had to wait in line for the politicians to quit jabberwalking so we could go in. We got free ski caps. Found our seats and sat and watched the hockey game for a little while. We went back to where to concessions are and Hubby had to go potty, I saw everyone eating popcorn so I decided to get me some. I went up to the counter and handed the lady my money and told her I wanted some and she handed it to me and said it was free. So when Hubby came out I told him and he went over to get some and they gave him a bag of peanuts in the shell. :) Uhmmm. Where's my bag???? Well, you know I'll be sharing his.

We spent about an hour mowing and getting rid of as most of the leaves as we could. Next mow is in the spring.

Hope everyone is having a good day. Keep those chins up.

Okay, lets see if this works this time. This will be the third time I've tried to post this!

I feel like someone is jumping on my chest, but physically better.

I'll catch up in a bit, it is ds's birthday and we are going to Chuck E cheese for 10am.

I'm glad you're feeling better. I feel like I have an elephant sitting on my chest.

Hope the party went well!

Michelle, I hope it's a day in bed for you. You need to let your body rest. I have found that that is the best thing. Your body needs time to heal it's self. I'm sending hugs to you.

Not a day in bed but I did take it easy. As much as you can w/a 3yr old in the house!

Thanks for the hugs! I'll take 'em!

I can eat pizza anytime of the day.

LOVE PIZZA!!! Can eat it anytime too w/no problems!

Today hubby and I will be in and out. Lots to do. Most of it outside work. Need to do one more mowing for the year and hopefully finish up the leaves.

Sounds busy!

I hope Kat is having a great time.

Me too!

I found this list on a website.

Okay. What is it with me and elephants today?! I've lost nearly an elephant's penis and I still need to lose an elephant's heart! Sheesh!

DD is away for the weekend and guess what I did this morning. Woke up at 5:30 and could not go back to sleep. :blink: That is about right, lol. But the great news is that if I wanna take a nap later I CAN! :woot:

Figures! Did you take a nap later? :wink2:

Yesterday at dd school it was really fun! It was cool being out there with all of the kids. I have never done that before but plan on it being an every year thing now.

Sounds fun! Glad you enjoyed yourself!

Yesterday I have to confess, I at some halloween candy :unsure:. But halloween candy and PMS is a deadly combo. At least I got it out of my system and can start a new day today.

Damn candy! The Reese's is gone so I'm safe for now!

We will probably go for a anice long walk today at the ark. They have a track that goes around the whole park and it has markers for each 1/4 mile. Today is the perfect day for it.

How was your walk?

HAHAHA Suz! LOVE THE LIST!!!!!!!!

-60 :yikes: LOL

I agree! Double-:eek:

Jen, do you mind if I give you my opinion? I know it's not worth much and you can certainly tell me to butt out and mind my own business. Won't hurt my feelings... much! LOL! JK!

Anyway, I think you should kick all of them to the curb. You have just gotten out of a tumultuous relationship and you are still dealing with the after-affects of it. They are wanting a serious relationship which = pressure on you and you don't need that right now!

I think it's okay to be alone. You need to get back to yourself and figure out who YOU are now! You need to focus on you and the kids and figure out what you want for yourselves.

I think it's find to casually date while you're doing this but the guys need to know upfront that there is nothing serious in the works and that you're gone at the first indication or hint of pressure from them!

You need your space and time to heal. TAKE IT!!!

Lots of hugs, prayers and best wishes for you! I only want the best for you!

Home from our running around and we have all the yard work done.

Sheesh! You were busy!!

We went over to the Grand Opening of the Event Center.

Cool!

:w00t: I KNEW you knew I had more than 1 chin! :wink2:

Of course she knew that! Most of us do! (Have more than one chin, that it!) LOL!

~~~~~

DH was on his own for unloading and stacking the wood. I just wasn't up to it. I have full-blown Bronchitis. I hate not being able to breathe well!

Managed to sit outside for awhile so DD could play while DH was working on the wood. Then I got too cold and had to go in. Bad mama, let DD watch cartoons all afternoon so she'd come in the house with me! I didn't care. Still don't! LOL!

Off to bed soon. Have a great night!

Good Morning

I am on the post fill, clear liquid diet today and tomorrow to get my butt in gear! I ate so much yesterday it scared me! I usually can't eat pizza and oh... had 3 pcs yesterday and wasn't even the good stuff.

Suzanne - look what you started... lol. I am down from no chin 2 years ago to 2 chins so I guess I'll take that. LOL

Michelle - I know what you are saying and it is ok. I tell them upfront, I am not stable and not capable of having a serious committed relatonship and just need to take life 1 day at a time, and do it for me and no one else.

I have not walked much this week being sick, and I need that time to do nothing but take care of me, listen to my music and clear my head of anything I'm thinking. Not doing that i feel out of control. I am going to have a cup of broth and hit the road, I like causual dates, but can't commit, but, I have learned that I get freaked out and push everyone away from me too. There has to be a happy medium.

this one guy I had gone out with a few times and I like came over to the house a few times, and I try to tell him we can go out but I can't have him here with the kids, I can't confuse them anymore than they are with things. He is persistant but says he understands. He has kids but yesterday kept asking if i wanted him to come over. Yes I do but I just can't do it. Make sense?

Ok enough of that, going to have some broth and hit the road. Going to be 60 and sunny heretoday so we are going to put lights up for holidays while it is warm.

Enjoy the day all,

Good afternoon.

I had a real good nights sleep and am very thankful for that.

Took doggie for a walk. It's very windy out but the sun is shining so I'm happy. Now it's football time.

Make it a good one.

Thanks, Cindy. I'm working on it.

Oh I'm so glad you understand. I hesitated to say anything, especially since I'm new to the thread but I just felt I needed to put it out there.

And it does make sense and it is confusing! You're coming off of a rough rollercoaster ride and you need to get your equilibrium back again.

Sheesh! I feel like Lucy of Charlie Brown fame! Okay, putting the sign away! And I won't charge you for this one! LOL!!!

Hi everyone :unsure:

Have a great day!

HI! You too!

I had a real good nights sleep and am very thankful for that.

Took doggie for a walk. It's very windy out but the sun is shining so I'm happy. Now it's football time.

Make it a good one.

A good night's sleep is priceless! Glad you had one!

I bet the dog enjoyed it too and with the wind there'd be all sorts of new scents to figure out!

Haven't turned on the TV yet. I turned the box on but that's as far as I got. We have all of the electronics plugged into surge protectors and we turn everything OFF unless we're using it. Saves on power. But that also means that you can't just flip the satellite and TV on and start watching something right away. It has to "boot up" each time.

House is quiet right now. DH took DD to church this AM. We haven't made it in about a month! :w00t: Between being sick and just plain not getting up in time, it's pitiful. DH is bad too tho b/c unless I get us moving, he doesn't go. I actually asked him last night if they were going. Guess it made him think and get moving this AM. This was after HIS comment the other day about us needing to get back to church. Okay, so get up and get going! :wink2:

I think I'm feeling better. Elephant isn't sitting on my chest right now. Still congested but things are moving. Don't ask.

I am thinking of cutting ALL of my hair off! I'm sick of it. It's long. About the middle of my back. I'm thinking of going so short that you can hardly get your fingers thru it. :crying: I have had it short before so it's not a huge stretch. It would just be VERY different. I wanted my hair long so I could do stuff with it but I can't put it up on my head at all b/c it's heavy and will cause a Migraine. I can put it back in a low ponytail or braid or take a little of the sides to a clip in the back, but after a time, it's too much for my head. I'm also tired of the hair all over the place. It's crazy. I plug up the vac more than the dog does now!

I'm going to do a search today for different styles and see what I come up with. I'll let you know what I decide to do. Oh and if I cut it off, I'll donate it to Locks of Love. I did that last time I cut it off.

Have a great day!

Gotta be quick

I saw all your posts

I will be on and off for the next couple of days

MIL going in the hospital on Monday and had DH stay with her at night :crying:

I think that I might have insulted my MIL not intentionally.. I swear BUT my husbands cousin who makes me look like Slim Jim has swine flu as does his son. Well , the kid is recouperating but he sounds like sh?? and they have been out of comission all week. SO I told my MIL that we should pray for him, since he is so overweight and is a heavy smoker. Also, since I had taken my shots, I was willing to go to their home and help.

I KNOW that it angered her:angry:

Well, lets all be well and we have a load of leaves in the backyard...so I went with DH, and :wink2::sneaky::blink: rented a large leaf blower the kind you move and it looks like the boys are almost done..I have alot of trees in my back yard and if I told you what they quoted us...you would all come over to do it your selves..last year we had way over 50 ..yes FIFTY bags....

LOVE :frown: LOVE :sad: my trees but the maintance is unreal.

:yikes::sneaky::sneaky:IN all this MY :eek: Jeans:scared2:fell off :woot::crying::eek: yesterday

Scale.not so good but decided who cares

      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.
