Good morning all!
I posted yesterday but my computer must have had a brain fart bc twice it came up error and wouldn't take my post. This wonderful dialup connection I have.
The storms yesterday were bad. Here at my house it got really dark and I could see it coming so Punk and I went down to the basement and sat with a candle and wind up radio just in case the power went out. He was happy cause I had snacks and a drink. I forgot my cell phone upstairs and started up to get it quick and I heard this sound and when I peeked around the corner I saw it was hail. That and wind was the worst we got. Places close by got really bad wind that knocked down big trees. There was alot of power outages. My brother who lives about 15 miles from us had his porch swing taken off his porch and about 50 feet out into the yard and he had several shingles off his roof and siding torn away. Other places has trees on them and power lines down. The fire and police were busy.
Today it is cool but sunny and the birds are chirping away. Got a ball game tonight. A home game so we don't have to leave as early but still need to get dinner stuff out for the day.
Got all my Tomatoes repotted yesterday. I had 48 plants. I also got 2 loads of laundry done, dinner and dishes done twice but didn't get my dusting done. I did exercise. I will go soon and get that done today.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Hey Everyone!
Mitch42, Glad you stopped back. You really have alot to look forward to. I'm sure you'll start to miss him not too long after he leaves. Funny how that works. I am so glad I have a few years before prom. Jordan really doesn't care about all that designer stuff. He knows we spend money on more important things than clothes and stuff. Actually, we save alot of money. When we do buy something or do something it is special. But, he has 2 grandmothers that spoil him and they are doing a good job on Punk and he is only 3 1/2.
Slim, Everything is going good. Still exercising but still need to work on the food thing. The anxiety started after I miscarried the first time back in Aug of last year. I went out with hubby on Sat night and we stopped at a local bar. A couple of times I felt like I needed to run out of there but it passed and I made it. It gives me more to go again. Hubby was happy because now people will believe that he still has a wife. Some people haven't seen me since Aug. Getting better everyday in every way!
Stop by again soon.

HI EVERYONE, IT HAS BEEN SOMETIME SINCE I HAVE POSTED. WELL THING'S HAVEN'T CHANGED MUCH HERE WITH OUR SON. WE HAD TO SPEND ALMOST HALF A DAY WITH OUR SON LOOKING FOR A WHITE JACKET FOR HIM TO WEAR TO THE PROM THIS THURSDAY EVENING. BUT WE COULDN'T FIND A WHITE ONE SO HE ENDED UP GETTING A BLACK JACKET INSTEAD.
HIS FATHER ASKED HIM WHY DON'T WE GET ONE MADE FOR YOU AND HE WASN'T HAPPY AND TOLD HIS FATHER ITS NOT THE SAME. ALL OF HIS FRIENDS HAVE DESIGNER JACKET'S. SO HE WANTED ONE. BOY IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE.
HE IS ALSO STILL TELLING US THAT HE IS GOING OUT INSTEAD OF ASKING US. THURSDAY THE 3RD IS THE SCHOOL PROM AND IT START'S A 7PM AND GOES TO 1 AM IN THE MORNING. BUT BY THE TIME HE GET'S HOME IT WILL BE AROUND 2-2:30AM. SO HIS FATHER AND I WILL BE UP ALL NIGHT WAITING FOR HIM TO COME HOME.
BUT HE IS DOING REALLY GOOD IN SCHOOL AND ON THE 8TH MAY HE HAS IG EXAMS. THEN ON THE 7TH JUNE HE WILL BE GOING TO BANGLADESH FOR 3 MONTH'S. WHICH WILL GIVE HIS FATHER AND I ARE NICE BREAK. TODAY OUR SON HAS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL BECAUSE HE HAS TO STUDY FOR THE EXAM'S.

Omg...today is beautiful. I'm stuck inside. I am so far behind on clothes and errands it's pathetic. Everybody is gone so this is a good chance to get things done. Butk, what i really want to do is sit outside and let the sun beat down on my face!
Glad you had a good time at the banquet and everything went okay for you. Did you always have anxiety problems or did they just start?
Well, I just thought I'd check in but hafta go now. My neighbor just called. Zachary did some work for her yesterday and she is going to pay him. Gotta go collect!
have a nice rest of the weekend and I'll talk to you Monday. Tomorrow is WW check up day!

Good afternoon!
I'm at mom's so I got DSL. I did my exercise this morning 3 days in a row. I haven't had anything but a Kashi bar and some coffee this morning. I am starving right now. My stomach is actually growling.
The banquet went great. Food was good and everyone had a great time. I won $40. I had high game 242, high series 607 and also won our singles event with a 573 all actual scores. Then I went up to the club and spent another 2 hours there. I only had a gingerale there. I feel good as far as my anxiety goes. I am on the lowest dose of meds and I was able to handle last night ok. Normally the noise alone would have made me have to leave or pass out.
Jordan has a game tonight if it doesn't rain. Looks like it. It is only in the 50's here and a little breezy. Punk is at hubby's mom's for the day so I got to run some errands with out carting him around.
Loved the photos!! You family is beautiful! I will try to send some more recent one's from us soon.
Have a great day!

hey girlie!!!
how was your banquet? did you have a great time or what?
Well, I don't need to tell you about what you did wrong yesterday....please don't start sounding like me, goodness gracious!!!! Hey, but that cookie or should I say cookies were calling your name, weren't they?
I am finally back in my mode. I've been excercising at the Y and I finally got some good videos that I ordered from collagevideo.com. Biggest loser, season 2, Crunch boot camp and another one, I can't remember the name because I haven't done that one yet. But the other two are so cool. I do them after Vince leaves for work so I am up to about an hr. 1/2 -2 hrs. of excercise. I really feel good.
You know that;s the problem with kids sports. It is very very hard to get things done for yourself when you have to run them around. This year we started dropping Daniel off at practice and that's when I've been running to the Y. So, it makes it a little easier but between their schedule and hubbies wacky schedules, I'm doomed! But, I'll manage because this time, I am not going to fail.
Great for Jordan with those grades. That's awesome! I'll have to reply to your other email and check out where I left with Zachary. That's a story in it self!
I don't know what we're going to do with my aunt. It's so difficutl. Supposedly tomorrow she's going to be released from the hospital. She won't budge for assisted living and we don't have the heart to push her out, but that's just what she needs :(
We're having the same weather as you. It's supposed to be about 60 but it's not, and it's dreary and raining. Yucko. But I can guarantee the boys will still have soccer practice. Double yuck.
I wish I could get on here more. To keep up with everything and what's going on with you. If I don't hear from you by noon and same with you, shoot me an email at work. It's definatly the easiest!

Good morning!
I exercised this morning first thing. Two days in a row!! Now if I can get my eating on track. Yesterday wasn't so bad.
Jordan's team won last night at baseball and he even hit a nice grounder, brought in a run and made it to first base. They only won by 1 run.
Not so nice here today. 50's and dreary, rainy. I have a bowling banquet tonight and have pre-ordered a chef salad. Supposed to have bb practice so I will fix hubby and kids something.
Have a great day and do something for you.

Good morning everyone!
I am going to try to post here everyday. I have a store on ebay so I will be on hopefully everyday and will stop in. It will also remind me to eat right and think about losing weight.
Yesterday was a bust. I ate good til lunch then had a 12 inch sub with mayo and all the good stuff. Yeah, thats right it was a whole foot long and I ate the whole thing...then ate 2 cookies and topped it off with a regular Dr Pepper. Glutton if I ever did see one. Of course by dinner I still wasn't hungry but ate anyway but just a few pieces of steak and a big glass of water. I grabbed a bottle of water just before I ran out the door to bb practice and didn't eat anything else. Just went down to take care of Punk and he wanted a cookie. Had to have just 1. Okay, Okay I had 2 but they are small.
I am going to go do some exercise then take a shower before I go do Jordan's chores for the day. He has his first ball game tonight so this evening will be busy.
See you all tomorrow. Good eating and I am still trying for those 2 pounds this week.

Hey Slim,
Glad to see you are still kickin'! Jordan started baseball so it has been everyday. I am getting in some of my exercise but not eating as well as I should. dinner is my downfall. Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel guilty, but a little guilt usually makes me do better. I will have to remember to send your email to work. I loved the airport security email you sent me. Had to share it with everyone.
What's the deal with Zachary? You'll have to fill me in sometime what the lastest of his escapades has been.
Jordan just got his report card and he got 4 A's and 2 B's (high one's). I am so proud. I don't understand how a kid that is so "smart" can be so "dumb" sometimes. It drives me nuts. He never brings home any homework. He does it all in his study hall. Get this...he has this science teacher that is 2 inches shorter than him. One of the other boys was talking and Jordan answers him and gets sent into the hall because she doesn't hear anyone but Jordan (did I mention that Jordan has this deep, loud voice? takes after my grandpa and brother, I still have to hold the phone away from my ear when my brother calls!). Anyway, she is in the class room grading tests and is disgusted bc everyone did horrible. She comes out into the hall to chastise Jordan and he is trying not to laugh at her while he looks down at her and she is yelling at him. She ends up leaving him in the hall a while longer and when she get done with the tests she goes and gets him, the bell rings and she procedes to tell him that he is the only one of 2 that passed and he got a 100%. Then tells him that just bc he can multitask and still pass the test doesn't mean everybody else can. He has had a 96-100-96 on his report card from her this year. I have tried to tell him for the last 3 years that he is not going to be able to talk during class and not get caught. Everytime he gets in trouble and no one else does bc they don't hear anyone but him. Anyway, the whole time he is telling me this I am laughing my a** off (not a good example) but I could just picture this little woman in his face while he looked down at her laughing. I thought that is exactly how I feel although he is exactly my height right now. I get so furious at him for doing that. I am glad I am not the only one. It's not just me it's him too. After I got done laughing I told him (whatever good it will do) that he shouldn't open his mouth in class just wave away anyone who is trying to talk to him, and that he should not give her a hard time.
Now that the weather has broke I need to get this last 10 pounds off (12 now). My 20 year class reunion is this year. I need to do this.
Sorry to hear about your aunt, mental problems are so hard bc there is no rhyme or reason to when or why they "act" up. My one sister has some mental issues and on meds but sometimes...
I am back on this week. I will get 2 pounds off if it kills me. See ya and send me an email. I just got my picture software on the new comp so I will try to send you a picture of the boys.
Later,
Michele

Hey there stranger....long time no speak! Things have been pretty rough here and I've gotten behind. Never forgotten, just pushed aside :(
My aunt is back in the hospital, She's nwo 85, mental problems, i think I might have mentioned it before. It's soooo hard. What to do, what to do???
I'm having a rough year with Zahcary. It just seems like it gets worse and worse instead of better. He gets in trouble for dumb stuff and jus tdoesn't listen. He's been in trouble and grounded for almost a good 3 weeks now.
Both kids are in soccer, outdoor, and it's back in full swing. Non-stop. We finally finished up with indoor for Daniel...I'll have to get a picture up on my site but it just was replaced with outdoor and their practices are out the wazoo.
I'm tired.
I like to also go to the library for DVD's. But we can only keep them for 4 to 5 days, depending on what kind (new, old) and sometimes I need them jus ta little bit more. Blockbuster doesn' thave any late fees so it's kind of nice getting them for 7 days and if you need a couple mor???? Of course, I try not to make a habit of it.
You seen anything good lately?
My diet is out the door, not to bad, but just not there the way I want it to be. I finished up with my water aerobics class and next week I start Yoga, once aweek and a power pump, (toning) class. Hopefully it will work miracles.
Okay, I haven't been a great challenge buddy and you've been alone lately :( but I will get on more. At least if it's just a short little time.
I missed hearing about things going on and other peoples problems that make mine seem so small (LOL)!!!!!!!
Hey, we can all use a little humor. Dont' forget to email me at work...that' shonostly the easiest way. Monday when I get back, I'll send you a couple pictures. That be the best probably.
Take care and I'll talk to you soon!

Good morning all!!
It is snowing and blowing here this morning and I bet they will call and cancel the first BB practice scheduled for tonight. I have to go to town to take back a DVD and go to the library. I have discovered the library again with my 3 yo. Great place to get books, DVD, tapes, internet and read the paper for free. The only complaint I have is that our library has funny hours. Today they are open 5-9 pm. So I guess I will go after dinner and wait to mail the package I have until tomorrow.
I exercised 3X last week. Go me! I decided I will do it while I watch my soap. Yea, Yea, I have a soap I watch. What else to stay at home mom's have to do?!?! I don't schedule my day around it or stop what I am doing to watch it. But it is on and up loud enough that I can hear it while I work. My house is pretty small so I can see the tv from the kitchen.
I think I am finally ready to do this thing again and get this last 10 pounds off. So here is my challenge to myself this week. Exercise 3X and eat right. If I do that I will lose. Anyone want to join in with a challenge of their own? How is everyone doing?
Hubby and Jordan went to a friends camp this weekend. We usually have it the first weekend of trout fishing here. We call it trout camp but only a few fish. It is just a time for everyone to come and enjoy a weekend without any phones or tv and eat and just bs about whatever. Punk and I only went down on Sat from 2-9 but Punk was muddy and had a ball.
Gotta go do laundry and get something out for dinner this week. Everythings in the deep freeze.
Hope someone starts stopping back in once in a while or have you all managed to "fix" your kids and not share that secret with me??

I exercised yesterday and I feel it today. It has been a long time since I did some of those moves.
Hubby and Jordan went to trout camp this weekend. Friends of ours have a camp about 12-15 miles from our house but it is further in the boonies than here. Punk and I stayed home tonight and will go down tomorrow to visit. There is too much commotion for me with all the people, kids, dogs and such. They usually stay up til early morning playing cards and drinking. I don't want to go down at all but hubby really wants me to bring Punk down. Anyway I think he took my meds by mistake bc his are still in the cupboard and I can't find mine. I hope he doesn't take mine without looking at them. His are allergy meds and mine are for anxiety. It will just make him sleep if he does.
Now we know why I am still up and on the internet at 10:40 at night. There are no phones there and no coverage. I did send him an email to his blackberry so he may get that. I'll check a little later.
How was everyone's Easter?
|

|

Just wanted to check in and tell everyone Happy Easter! Hope you are all eating the good stuff. I'm starting over tomorrow. I think the meds I have been taking are affecting my appetite bc I can't seem to get enough food. Anything and everything is game.
See you all later.

Good morning everyone!
Hope everyone is having a productive week. Get in some exercise and do something healthy for you.
Our children really are a mirror image of us. I yelled at Jordan yesterday for yelling at Punk. That's like hitting a child and telling them it's not nice to hit. I really need to work on keeping my volume and tone down. That has always been a problem for me. Now they both yell and can't just ask for something but just yell and demand. I am trying really hard to change and stop the yelling. Jordan is off school this week so this is my test. So far so good. They just had french toast and are getting along very well right now. Watching Blues Clues. Jordan will have the hunting channel on as soon as Punk will let him change the channel!
TaTa for now!
Michele

Slim,
I didn't get my exercise in this week. Punk and I took a couple leisurely walks and were outside quite alot. On our walks we picked up 10 plastic grocery bags of garbage (cans, plastic and glass bottles) along the road and that was only in about a 1/2 mile stretch. I did pull the wagon with Punk (32 lbs) in it and the dog pulled me!! I was up to 137 just 2 weeks ago so I am back at 132. Great job on the lost inches!! See...muscle really does replace fat. So even if you don't see it on the scale it is still working!!
I am going for that 2 pounds and actual exercise next week. So your on!!
Anyone else??
Ps. The German Chocolate Cupcakes with the Buttercream icing I made this week should be gone by then...

Well you definatly deserved a nice night out. Hope you had a very good time. Hey that challenge sounds great. I haven't lost any more weight since last time but I just took my measurements last night and can you believe this???? 2 inch. in my waist. 1/2 in my chest and 1 inch in my thighs. I'm keeping up with the exercise for good, I have no plans on quitting, of course, I have slacked off this week, it's been kind of rough but I am going to get back on track. Since I missed this challenge, you up for it next monday? I'll check in every sunday night for sure and at least during the week. Maybe if I give you certain days we can not miss each other. So here, Sunday's and thursday's for sure. I'll go ahead and start the challenge monday so.....let's work together!
Oh, I would lvoe to see 120...hopefully I will by the end fo the year.

Good afternoon everyone!
Hopefully I will be back on more of a regular basis.
Mitch42,
I think instead of asking your son what time he will be home, he should have been told what time to be home and what consequences go along with not being home on time (give or take 5 min but don't tell him that) just remind him that he is 5 min late and not to do it next time or he will not be able to go. I found that if I ask my sons to do something they look at it like it is up for debate or optional when it is not. I simply now tell them in a nice way and make sure I say please and when it is done or he is home on time he gets a thank you. Ex: Instead of "Will you please take out the trash?" it is "Take out the trash please or no video games til it is done" then after a while you can leave off the consequences since they know there will be some. If you don't do it early and stick together (you and dad) it will be alot harder later.
Slim,
Doing ok the last couple of days. Migraine lasted 3 days!! My mil watched the boys all night and hubby and I went to dinner at the restaurant we all own and shopping for Easter stuff. Still need to pick out a little candy and then snack stuff to fill up the baskets and find something to put in the plastic eggs I hide. I'm thinking coupons for a trip with mom/dad to get ice cream, dinner of your choice, 1 day pass for cleaning your room, that type of stuff. Any other ideas? What goes in your baskets or are they too old this year?
I started back on my WW so I just need to start exercising. I still need to get off 14 lbs to get to 120 where I wanted to be before I got prego.
Are you up for a challenge for next week? We can start Monday but if you don't get back on til after that we can start another day of the week. I am going to make mine to exercise at least 3 days and 2 more pounds.
To everyone else...have a great weekend! Do something healthy for you. If you would like to join our little challenge feel free the more the merrier!!

WELL EVERYTHING WAS GOING GOOD UNTIL LAST NIGHT. MY HUBBY AND I WERE walking AND OUR SON HONED HIS DAD ON THE MOBILE AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO A FRIEND'S PLACE TO STUDY. HIS FATHER ASKED HIM WHAT TIME HE WILL BE BACK HOME, OUR SON SAID IN 1 HOUR. BUT IT ENDED UP 3 HOUR'S. HE SENT AN SMS TO HIS FATHER AND SAID THAT HE WAS ON HIS WAY HOME. BUT HE WASN'T. THEN AT ABOUT 9PM OR A LITTLE AFTER HE SENT ANOTHER SMS TO SAY HE WAS HAVING DINNER. SO HIS FATHER AND I HAD AN ARGUEMENT. AT 9:45PM HE CAME HOME. HIS FATHER TOLD HIM OFF. LET'S HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

Oh, I could've read this first...so disregard some of the ques. that I sent you in the SP mail.
So....you did get my email right? I'm so confused now, I couldn't tell you left from right either!
Oh, Daniel's friend just got braces. He wants them really bad. I explained to him he's lucky that he doesn't need them. One thing, he brushes like crap now, without anything! I have to stand over him. LOL
Yes, we're just finishing indoor soccer with Daniel. He has about 5 games left but, outdoor started this past Tuesday. I have to get both of the boys new shoes, I was hoping they could wear them for another season, but i WASN'T that lucky.
i think Daniel will be playing baseball next year instead of soccer. Not sure. I think baseball is boring! They both played for a couple years when they were younger , and I couldn't wait for the season to be over. Other then that, things have been pretty good-not calm, but good. When I get some time, I'll email you about what's going on with my aunt...too long to write when I'm tired. Plus, I think Zachary is ready for me to get off of his computer. We're arguing about the stupid songs he listens too and he wants me to use my own slow moving computer! Geez.....
Thanks for telling me about that article. I also picked up that mag. because I was looking at it at the grocery store and I saw that in there. The place that I'm going is Novus clinic. It is a regular dr. that will be doing the treatment but the thing is....he's an optomotrist, I think. At least that's what they do...lasix? for eyes. So, I am looking into this more. I was really set and everyone seemed so nice, and it didn't seem like aproblem but now I'm thinking maybe I should re-think. It is scary. I'll have to let you know what I decide. My mom is giving me a hard time also about it. We'll see.
Going to watch that movie now....so I'll talk to you soon. Hope everything keeps going okay with you!

Hey Slim,
Sorry, I don't remember getting your email. I was wondering if you got mine since I have dialup and it may not have gone through.
Everything went ok. I had the procedure done last Weds th 14th. Yesterday I went for a follow up with my Dr. here and all is ok. I am having the same old anxiety problems and now something new. Migraines!! The last 3 days have been h---. I woke up this morning at 4 am with another one. I rolled around and writhed in pain until 6 am then got up and took a shower got the boys stuff ready then took 2 x-strength tylenol and sat on the couch and cried. Which by the way, does not help it only makes it worse. My hubby was ready to take me to the ER. By the time he left the tylenol had taken the edge off and I called my reg Dr. and went in at 10:30 this morning and she confirmed the migraines. She couldn't prescribe me anything because my blood pressure was too high and everything makes it higher. So it's over the counter until it comes down but she did prescribe me some oxycodone for the pain. I haven't taken any yet. Can deal with what I have now and I don't want to take it when I am here alone with Punk. Today worked out because my mil took him to storytime at the library then home for lunch and some grandma time. He just got back at 2:30. He is now happily watching Spongebob and eating a snack and some juice. Just another bump in the road for me.
I was thinking of you the other day when I got my Prevention magazine. There is an article in it about some women that had laser hair removal and had really bad outcomes because the "spa" or "clinic" they went to had nonmedical personnel doing the procedures. They didn't know it because they were wearing the long white coats and there were degrees on the walls. I hope everything is going ok with you. How are the boys? All geared up for sports to start for the summer? Jordan is going to play baseball. This is only his second year but he likes it and he is improving. We went to the orthodontist on Tues because he lost a band on one of his brackets and they came out to get me and said they were taking off his braces did I want to come back and see? He has marks on 2 of his teeth from not brushing good enough but maybe the dentist can sand or whiten them some so they are not as noticable. I tried to tell him. Everyday it was "go scrub your scubby teeth" and he would just laugh and half heartedly brush. Now he finds out why! But other than that, they do look nice. Next week we get his retainer and will have to try to keep track of that. The last thing he had like that he threw away and the second one he dropped out of the truck and his grandpa ran it over with the truck.
Oh to be 13 again...no thank you!!
Take care and I will try to check in again in a couple of days.

Good Morning everyone!!
Had to go to page 2 to find our post!
My hubby and I wrote up and list and discussed it between the two of us then sat down with our then 12 year old and went over exactly what we expect of him and what will happen if it doesn't get done. We didn't write up a contract or post it so that may be the next step I need to do. He does pretty good most of the time but sometimes he just "forgets".
When I turned 18 I was in my Sr year. I worked 2 jobs. One was after school everyday and the other was through a work program through our votech school and I worked in the afternoons 4 days a week. I had my own car that I pd for. I had a 2 yo sister and 10 yo sister so my mom was busy with them. I helped her out with bills and groceries. I stayed at home til I was 25. But...I paid more bills and did my fair share in housework til I left.
Have a great day and do something healthy!

| I am having the same issue. My daugher who I held back in 4th grade is now a jr. in HS, also 3.0 avg, (which I have to stay on her about) is turning 18 next week and she keeps making comments like she thinks she is her own boss next week. Of course I correct her, the living in my house thing and all that, but I am concerned this is going to be a real struggle til she gets out of HS, which is my main goal for her right now. She is also adhd and is fighting me about the meds. I am a single parent. My sister warns me just state the facts and walk away, as kids at this age, just love to debate you and argue about everything.
