Fabulous Friday!

Saturday, November 15, 2008

I love Fridays. I don't know if it's because my body realizes it can relax for a couple of days or what. Tom and I went to a Parent/teacher conference for Dominic today. He's doing great! Then I got my Christmas Card made and ordered from shutterfly.com. I was lucky this year because we got a great picture of Dominic at the wedding and his flower and bow tie were red. Then I worked a half day in 3rd grade.

OK - it's Saturday morning and I just found this entry screen on my computer. I never hit enter. Dominic must have interrupted me!

I hope you had a great weekend! I'm thinking that I'll do a Christmas card with Bailey this year. Is shutterfly a good service? Report Inappropriate Comment

Wow... what a great start to the holidays! I knew many people who challenged themselves to finishing shopping by the 15th of November... I can say that I STARTED shopping already... LOL. Anyhow, I love Monday the best. It is my day off and the kids are in school all morning, so I get a lot done in the AM, and then relax until the kids get home. Report Inappropriate Comment

Wow! You are ready to roll as far as Christmas goes. I've started shopping and I will take Skye to see Santa Thanksgiving week and then order my cards from Costco. You go girl! Have a WONDERFUL weekend! Report Inappropriate Comment

I got some Christmas Shopping Done!!

Thursday, November 13, 2008

When my Christmas Club money arrives, I have to get the gifts bought. Dominic is done and so is my local nephew. I just got a few ideas for my niece and nephews that live in VA so I will get their things Saturday. I can't stand having the money around because it ends up dwindling.

Anyway, I'm thrilled. Now I can start wrapping.

I was up at 6:30 today and got my Walk and Jog done. It felt great.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

WooHoo, Christmas is just around the corner. We won't be spending a lot this year but in my family it is all about family spending time together. I have started looking but haven't bought the first gift yet. When money is tight I look until I find just the perfect gift. We may only be buying for the kids this year. Christmas is for kids mostly anyway! Way to go on getting some of yours done already, sure will be nice to beat the Christmas Rush huh? Report Inappropriate Comment

Better today!

Tuesday, November 11, 2008

I just finished the Leslie Sansone Walk and Jog dvd. I love that one!

Updated my page for Thanksgiving and I'm going to get cleaning!

I did lose 1 lb of the bloat so I feel much better. I also always feel better after a good nights sleep and a good workout.

i will be getting my challenges done today and we are going ice skating this afternoon. I love having a day off with the boys!

Hope you all have a great day and, please say a prayer or give a thought of well-being for our veterans. They deserve it!

Glad you are feeling better. Hope you and the boys had a blast ice skating--I am too much of a chicken to go ice skating. I just know I will end up on my butt LOL. Love the new background. Report Inappropriate Comment

I'm glad you're feeling better today. I hate that feeling you described yesterday. Love the new page! I am thinking it's time to change mine, but that would be admitting fall is over... I'm not ready for that!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Very Tired

Monday, November 10, 2008

Ok - i'm just posting a quick hello.

I'm tired, bloated and depressed. The scale continues to go up. I know I've accomplished a lot since joining SP. I know i'm bloated due to TOM. I know it will come off again but still can't help feeling sad.
I'm going to bed and tomorrow is another day!

Good night

Do not know your age or type of food you eat BUT i was REALLY tired (not P.M.S.) I was low on my B vitamins especially B12!!! If you have really bad time with P.M.S. you may also be low on MAGNESIUM. If you get these levels up you will feel better!! Report Inappropriate Comment

We are strong

Friday, November 07, 2008

This picture made me think about how strong we women really are. Think about it. We do it all. We would fight fiercely for our family. We carry on even when we're sick. We work everyday until we are so exhausted we just can't move anymore. WE ARE SO STRONG - any yet - we continue to put ourselves down. We forget how to love ourselves for the accomplishments we've made. We find every possible flaw we can find in ourselves...WE HAVE TO STOP!

I want everyone to take a look at what they've accomplished since joining SP. I think every so often we need to take a step back and realize we are all in better places than we were when we started.

HERE'S TO ALL OF US!!!

We need to make sure we keep ourselves healthy to remain strong and able to do everything we need to do each day. SP, and all my friends here, are helping me do that.

Yes, we ARE strong! Thanks for the reminder to look back on all that we have achieved. My current setback is tough, but it's important to remember that I am so much better off than when I started SP. Thank you for such an inspirational post! Report Inappropriate Comment

THANK YOU! I am the worst when it comes to looking OVER the accomplishments and not AT the accomplishments. I needed to hear this - and I know I will need to hear it again. THANK YOU! Report Inappropriate Comment

Amen Sister!!! We all need to take time to say, " I am amazing, Look what I can accomplish when I put my mind to it!!!" Report Inappropriate Comment

You got that right, Debbe. We go like there is no tomorrow and constantly do for others and very often we put ourselves way on down that list. Here is to being proud of being wives, moms, sisters!!!! Report Inappropriate Comment
