Getting ready to go do our shift at the hospital. By the way, did I tell you I didn't get the job? There was a nurse from the OR that also put in for it and since she already works there, they gave her the job. Maybe next time. I keep knocking my mouse thing around and I lose usage of it. I have to wiggle it around to get the mouse to work. The scale has not moved in 3 days. I hate it but am not losing hope. Haydee, I did like the first site but there were a few pics in the second one that I thought were precious. Good Luck picking.

Morning. I took a Benadryl last night and went to bed about 9pm. Woke up around 4:30am and went potty, got back in bed and slept till 8:30. That was what I needed. Woke up to a storm this morning, it's cloudy right now but supposed to clear up. Not sure if I'll get in any pool time. We'll see. Jane, I know you had storms this morning but there are more on the way. I sliced up some zuccini bread and banana bread. Yummy. I had a slice of each and now it's sitting in my chest. It was just the little mini loaves. Still yummy though. Have a great day.

Morning Girls. Extremely tired this morning. I guess cramming in 15 hours of "Lost" will do that to you. lol. Yesterday my sister went to the store and wanted ot know if she bought all the stuff and did all the rest of the work, would I make a meatloaf for the family. Yeah, you guessed it. I ended up making the whole meal and doing all the dishes. When will I ever learn. Well, at least it was a REALLY good meal. Getting ready for work. It's supposed to get into the mid 90's today. Hopefully I'll be able to get in the pool later today. Everyone make it a good one.

I also went to the Farmer's Market this morning. Got some Peaches and Cream corn, onions, cucumber, banana bread and zuccini bread. The local Amish sell baked goods. Yummy. Came home and swept the pool and added chemicals. The temp was only 79. Too cold to get in. We'll start the heater in the morning and have it all ready for the afternoon. Off to church. I'll check in later.

This morning I ran to Wal-Mart and than stopped by Burger King to get a sancwich for hubby and I to share. The bill was a little over 2 bucks and I had a 5. I asked the lady at the window if she would do me a favor and put what change I had coming to me towards the bill of the car behind me. I was feeling really good about what I did. I was wishing I could see the look on the lady's face when she was told. So I pull out and get to the street and there is a car in front of me from KS. So we wait for traffic to clear and the old man just sits there and than he looks down and than he just looks around. So I'm like "Move it bud". And I honk. He looks up and than looks down the road and so I honk again and say "Jeez bud, come on". So finally he takes off. So much for my good deed. I blew it by not having patience with the idiot in front of my. I should have paid it forward to the guy in front of me and not the one behind me.

Hi Girls, Just got home a little while ago. A customer of mine gave me a gift certificate for 2 tickets to a play. I called my Aunt and asked her to go. We met for dinner and than went to the play. It was so cool. They had a bar and you could take your drinks in with you, they also sold snacks. Anyway, the play was good and we enjoyed it. All is quiet again here. I think everyone is starting to realize that they need to straighten up. At least I hope. Tomorrow Hubby and I are going to go see about that new U-Verse and also get rid of our land-line. We are looking into downsizing and saving on our bill. See you in the morning. Sleep tight.

Morning Girls. Slept in late this morning. I got up fed the kitties and came out here and started reading post. The very first one is Pammie's. Ok, made my tummy turn. I guess everytime I feel like eating, I'll just come here and read that again. LOL. Pammie, can't wait to see in a week or so what the changes are. Hang in there. What's up with TracyK? Hope all is well.

Coffee and Cheez-it's Hmmmm. that's a weird combo. I like Coke and Cheez-it's. P.S. I love the new look. 1/2 hour at Curves and than a 1 mile walk. I'm good for the day. All is quiet here for now. I think the small intervention we had yesterday was a eye opener for everyone. A lot was said and everyone knows where everyone stands now. We are all going to try harder. And one thing for sure, the family knows to not push the hubby to his limit anymore. They are all telling me that they have never seen him like that. I told them that they now know how far they can push him and to NOT ever do that again. This is our house and they are to treat us and it with the upmost respect. I am attending my first meeting tonight with my nephew. He asked me to go with him. I feel priveledged(sp?) that I was the first one he has asked. I will go with that being my badge. Everyone have a great day.

Home from work and extremely tired. That's what crying will do to you. Another high voltage day here. I think this is my new diet. Have my family keep me so stressed out that I can't eat. I tried a bowl of cottage cheese and pineapple and only got half of it down. I did get to eat the rest of it when I got home. At this rate, I'll be 125 pounds by Thanksgiving.

Morning Girls. I went to bed at 10pm and didn't get up till 8:30 this morning. Boy, that felt good. I went in and took a water pill and came out and fed the cats. Jane, Jenn will do stuff at your place, Haydee will look at the computer and you and I can sit and sew. Keep our fingers busy so we are shoving things into our mouths. I had a talk with hubby yesterday and told him that he needs to find a happy meduim with all that is going on. The last 3 or 4 days he has become very perturbed and has become vocal about his feelings. He shoots out little barbs and than I end up shooting the look at him. The "shut up" look to him. So I told him that this situation is not anything that we all strived for. It just happened and we need to learn to get thru it. This will end soon. But here's the thing. Jack's immediate family don't want anything to do with his problem. They are not willing to help out in any matter. If hubby and I don't help him out, he will be out on the street. If that happens there is a possibility that we could loose him forever. He could end up with the wrong people and end up a real junky or worse. But one thing is that we are dealing with a 20 year old. He has more energy than us old folks and we tend to loose patience with it. He also thinks that you don't have to have responsibilities. Like making your car payment on time, getting up and going to work everyday. It's very frustrating to us. So I told hubby yesterday that if he had and little jabs that were dying to come out, that he was to call me and say them to me. He was to get in his truck and go up to the bar and have a beer. He was to get on the Harley and ride. That he just needs to get away. I know at some point Jack will be back on his own and that the 2 others living with us will be gone and it will be back to just hubby and I. I'm just trying to get us all thru it till than. Ok, Now I'm off to go start my day. Going to get me a bowl of oatmeal and than start my housework. I'm going to work on the no sugar thing today. Except, I won't count my lifesavers in on that. I will not have like cookies, cake, ice cream. You know what it all is. It is CTCD, so everyone work on that. Make it a good one.

Holding my own right now. Told everyone they need to find a happy medium with each other, that I'm tired of trying to please everyone. Stress is good for not eating.
