Hey, Ended up having Abagail all day long. We had a good time but I didn't get to do some of the stuff I was hoping to get done. Oh well. Such is life. I did have a pretty good eating day. Except for the half a bowl of popcorn. Oooppps. Have a great evening.

Morning. I took a muscle relaxer last night and went to bed at 9:30pm. Got up at 8:30 this morning. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Michelle, can you come over and kick my butt? I need to do the same thing to our bedroom. It needs a real good cleaning. I can do it. I just need motivation to do it. It's the room that gets the least attention. Tracy, I saw this and was wondering how close it is to you guys. Looks like it would be a great place to take Macy. cowtowncattlepenmaze.com I'm going to go make some breakfast and than see about starting laundry. Have a great day Girls.

Hey Girls, remember me?????? I have nothing to do or no place to go till Monday morning. Just what am I supposed to do??????? Right now I'm so tired I'm not sure I can keepmy eyes open enough to make dinner. But I have to. Poor Hubby hasn't seen me in a week or had a home cooked meal OR sex. (sorry Judy). I had to be over at church early this morning for our Women of Faith Retreat. It wasn't as good as the past ones. The girl that was leading it has recently lost about 36 pounds through a personnal trainer and Gym and drinking weight loss shakes. She was so up on it that she asked all of them to speak at the retreat today. Yadda Yadda Yadda, I'm proud of her and anyone else that can do that but the big test will be to see if they keep it off. That's the hard part about losing. I''m just glad that they didn't get down on people that have had surgery, I would have had to walk out on them. I was really hoping for more of a spiritual weekend. One thing good about it was that there was some excellent food choices there. Lots of proteins and fruits. I loved it. I got home from there and within an hour I had to turn right around and go back for Mass at 4pm. I wouldn't have gone but it was my turn to be a Eucharistic Minister tonight. So now I'm home and have my slippers on and will fix dinner here soon and than off to bed for a FULL nights sleep. I'll check in when I can.

Oh great Terry, I had to go google "Squirting" also. I'm blind now. Busy morning. I've been gone since 7am running around getting things done. I stopped by hospital to check on sis and waited for Doc to come and discharge her. I got tired and she was falling asleep, so I left. Got in the parking laot and was backing out when my cell rang and the Doc had come in and discharged her. She said it would be a while because they wanted to give her another round of antibiotics. Well, I leave here in a few hours to go to my cousins funeral. So I called her daughter and asked if she had the time to go pick her Mom up and take her home. Lucky me she agreed to do it :ohmy:. Our church is having their "Women of Faith" retreat this weekend. (After googleing squirting, I need to go). I'll miss it tonight but will be there all day tomorrow. I so much enjoy going to this. We have such a good time. Have a good evening.

Hey All, I drove over to my sisters and fed her cat and picked up a few things for her. Than drove over to Kansas for my Doctor's appointment. Lost 1 pound since I saw him 2 weeks ago. On the way home my Aunt called to tell me that a cousin had passed away, so I called another cousin and got a ride to the wake tomorrow night. So I go to K-Mart and shop for a little while. Go to KFC and get lunch and take it over to the hospital and had lunch with my sister and my nephew. Now I'm home and resting for about an hour till I go into work. Phew. Terry, yesterday I needed ot get gas and was to tired to do it. This morning gas had gone up 10 cents. I've never tried Artichokes, so I have no opinion on the subject.:tt2:

You guys missed the funniest thing this evening. But I'm really glad that there was no cameras around. At our workout tonight she put us all on those workout balls. Except these were different. She called them peanuts. She kept telling us to grab our peanuts and it actually sounded like she was saying penis. Anyway, you should have seen this fat-ass girl working her peanut. Too funny. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow. Janie, Thanks for the call today. It was just what the Doctor ordered. You have great timing.

Hey everyone. I'm home a resting for a while. I'm having an early dinner with one of the girls from our boot class, so I had an early lunch of 1/4 of an orange, yogurt and a handfull of peanuts. I went to the hospital this morning and my sister was just sitting on the side of the bed. Looked like she had been crying and that she had a bad night. Come to find out she didn't have any breakfast, not even any coffee. So I got her untangled from her IV and got her in the bathroom. She took a sponge bath and I got her hair washed for her. I changed the sheets on her bed and got her all set up. I called down to the kitchen and ordered her some food. She was resting comfortably when I left. She is the one that has a "Genetic Blood Clotting Disorder". So when my little Sis had me look at her leg and the spot was warm and very painful I took her in to have it looked at. The Doc said we did the rght thing by bringing her in. With our older sisters history, we just can't take a chance. If it had been a clot she could be gone in an instance. She's going to make an appointment with the regular doc to see what is causing it. Thank You all so much for all your thoughts and prayers. I'm blessed to have such good friends. Got my feet propped up and waiting on the washer to finish so I can put the stuff into the dryer. I need to not let things pile up while I'm busy. Judy, I had already made my corned beef when I saw your recipe. I will try it next time I make one. Which will be soon. I always stock up on them while they are on sale. Everyone have a great day. Hugs.

Stopping by real quick to say Hi before head off to work. Both Sisters are doing fine. One still in the hospital, will be for a few more days. Other is home here taking it easy on her leg. I'm just trying to keep my head on straight and not eat like a maniac. Stress and being tired causes you to make NOT good choices but I'm trying real hard to be good. I carry a bottle of water with me at all times. That helps. Thank You so much for all your thoughts and prayers. They are truly appreciated. Love and Hugs to all of you. I'll check in later today.

Michelle, I talk my ear buds with me when I go to the Y. I turn the TV on and watch videos or a movie while I'm walking. Takes the mind off of how far I have gone or how long I have been walking.

Finally I got on here. I hate that this happened, do they not understand that we really rely on chatting and laughing and telling our life problems with each other. Today is a good day except that I'm increasingly tired. I'm thinking all of this working out and the deal with my nephew are taking a toll on me. Mentally and physically, I'm pooped. It's totally beautiful outside today. It's God's way of reminding us that spring is almost here. So is pool openeing day. I can't hardly wait. So glad that site is back up and running. I missed you guys.

I don't take the Aleve on a daily basis. I actually only take some about every 3 weeks. I have a really high pain tolerance and just forgo any meds till I really need them. I seem to do really good with the Aleve. Not so much with the Tylenol. But I do agree with the size of the Aleve being a problem. I'll have to look for the little round ones instead of the oblong. Or just go ahead and bite them in half and than swallow. I do that with Tylenol when I take it. I'm so proud of my nephew for making the decision to check himself in. A big part of it is that he has been dating this girl for about a year now and she was never aware of how bad it had gotten. He hid it from her. Well now that he has really fallen in love with her he see that he needs to get himself better so that he can provide a good life for her. He has his application in at the Union hall to become an Electrician like his brother. He knows that they will be drig testing him. So I had a talk with the girlfriend today and my niece and I both told her that we felt that it was his love for her that made him make this decision to get help. We stayed for about 2 1/2 hours with him and had some good talks with him. You should have seen the boat load of crap we took to him. Little Debbies, gummy candies, PB crackers, runts, peanuts and his very favorite- Starbursts. Oh, and pringles. He's good till next Sunday. Thank you all for keeping him in your prayers. I'm off to bed now. I'm very tired. All of this emotional stuff and than working out as much as I do each week is really catching up with me. Have a great night, hugs to you all.

Just finished sharing an english muffin with peanut butter with the hubby. Yummy On my second load of laundry. Now I need to get dressed. Thought I would stop and get some Starburst to take to my nephew. It's one of his favorites. I'll start in on my water here soon, just don't want to drink to much so we aren't stopping alot along the way.

Woke up early but that's ok, I have a lot to do today. Body is aching pretty good. I think all this working out is starting to catch up with the muscles. I had a restless night. I need to take some aleve but I always get heartbutn when I do. It just kinda sits at my band and than I have to take some rolaidss. Vicious cycle we go thru. Rememeber my nephew that stole my pain medicine this last summer. Well, he checked himself into rehab last week with an addiction to pain meds. Today we are driving to go visit him. It's about an hour and a half to where he is at. I'm so very proud of him that he finally admitted he was addicted. It's a long road ahead of him but I think he is strong enough to make it. So I won't be home till later this afternoon. Everyone have a great day.

Morning. I'm up and getting ready for My support group meeting also. Just wish Judy and I were going to the same one. Went to my workout last night and than we decided to go to Applebee's afterwards. Apparently I was the only Catholic there. I got the fish and chips. Long day ahead of me so I will check in when I can. I agree with Laura, kill the little sucker or set it free far away from your house.

Hey Guys, I left this morning at 9am and went to a friends house to strip wallpaper. I got home about 4:15. That was a lot of steaming and paper pulling. We went to Hy-Vee's and ate at the salad bar. The strawberries were delicious Now I'm just relaxing before heading off to my workout class. Looks like we all made it to the weekend. Have a good one.

Getting ready to head into work at the hospital. We had to trade wednesdays for thursdays since I go to reboot on wednesdays. Just need to finish up some laundry before I go. This morning I went to the grocery store to pick up our prescriptions from the pharmacy. So I pick up some groceries while I'm there. $88.00's worth. Get home and guess who forgot to pick up the meds. Dang, I hate when I do that. Now we have to stop on our way to the hospital. I cetainly hope I get some sleep tonight. Judy, I'm so ready to turn the heater on and get this pool thing going. Someone asked me the other day when we were going to open it up. I'm think by the end of April and they told me they don't open theirs till June :w00t:. If it was heated right now I would be out in it. Just joking.

Well, I did manage to go back to sleep in my chair for about 45 minutes. I'm still a cranky ol' B. I told hubby I was just going to have to stay that way. I'm not taking a nap now. I'm just going into work at the hospital with this bad mood and headache and when I get home I'll take a muscle relaxer and sleep all night long. Somehow I'll break this pattern. We actually have a air filter machine that is very noisy in our room. I can't sleep with out it. Even when we go on vacation we have a fan we take with us. No radio or tv for us. No tv even in our bedroom. Married 26 years and have never had a tv in our room. I was at Wal-mart this morning and I walked pass an aisle that they were putting pool stuff out in. Judy, I bought 3 floating chairs. I am so ready for summer. Guess I'll need to get my bathing suit out and see if it still fits. May have to get a new smaller one. I love that. So cool. I hope they have chili in the cafeteria tonight. It's so cold here today. Happy Birthday Jenn. Make it a good one. Here's a pic from my Reboot class.

Morning. Not a good one here. For about the last week I have had the worst troubles with my sleeping pattern. I don't have a problem getting to bed or falling asleep. It's when I wake up several hours later to go to the bathroom that the troubles start. I crawl back into bed and instanly my mind goes in to over load. Nothing in particular. It can be anything from thinking about what I have to do that day or what I had done that day or remembering seeing something or something I had read or even a song going thru my head. It's just that I will lay there for at least a good hour with all kinds of crap running wild in my mind. I usually turn the light on and read for a little bit till I'm exhausted again and I can go back to sleep. But I have just wasted about 2 hours. So last night, same thing. I go to sleep around 10pm, wake up at 3am to potty. Get back in bed and the mind is wild. I turn the light on grab my book and read till 4:30. I can't hardly keep my eyes open when I turn the light off and just begin to doze off when Hubby starts rubbing my back and says hey, I saw the light on and was just checking on you. OH &*^%ING GREAT. Now I'm wide awake again. So it's up and out of bed, feed the cats, fix my hot cocoa and turn the tv on. I have headache and I'm irratable. GRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Watch out everyone. I don't know what is causing this to happen and I hope I out grow it soon. I'm pooped. So excuse my bad mood for the rest of the day. Hopefully I get a chance to take a nap before we have to go work to at the hospital tonight. Everyone have a great day.

I love Facebook. I have reconnected with about 8 people I went to school with. We are having a blast chatting with each other and calling each other. I miss all them so much.

Just got home from workout. I feel like a big bowl of walking jello. I webble wobble. Seriously- we did 400 crunches, 100 of them holding our feet in the air. I'm dead. Laura, that is the cutest thing I have heard. Carson is already a hoot. Can't wait to see videos of him when he gets here.
