Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here
Morning girls drinking my coffee, getting up. I am still drained but feeling better. I think i'm going to get some musinex today. My lungs are still really gunky. at times I actually sound like i'm purring, then go into a coughing fit. If that was gone I'd be much better It rained all night, 2+" - thank god it was not the snow they thought was going to hit us Kat - I so respect what you are saying about the tattoo. Laura is the artist... she can paint one on you for the weekend! American Red Cross has the same rules. Off to another long day, but at least I am taking my last antibiotic today

May 16 & 19... it is done! Now I can be so excited again! I am still so very sick. I never get cold sores... but I have some under my tounge and they hurt.. coughing so much my stomach, band and port along with my ribs hurt. I was up 1/2 the night in the bathroom from the antibiotics... 2 more days of pills left. I do feel like I can breathe much better today so that is a plus... we will see. Anyway... off to get ready for work, I have 15 mins to drink coffee and watch the news before i have to dry my hair. I am going to get my hair done tonight so it is going to be a long day.

Morning gals just checking in... everyone here is sick and now time for ds to have it but he sould like he is getting his croup back. I hate that. so after a long night worried about him ... i called the dr and she said to get him back on his steroid for a week. hopefully he will be better tonight after a day of it. i feel like i'm getting tight so i took some tussin this morning to catch it before it hits me since i start my new job tomorrow. I am so ticked. I told step mom i would do a couple sundays if i HAD to and she never told me who/how I was being replaced on Friday/Sunday nights. She never said until last night that she needs me to do sundays and asked how many i wanted to do. I know she was annoyed but I told her as little as possible. Now i'm going to be working 7 days a week. NO>>> NO NO. not going to happen. I'm exhausted now... WTF I'm working a job i can pay my bills and I'm done, the end of march is it at the latest. I just can't do it and is bs that she would let it go. She has known for almost 2 weeks that she needs to replace me and has not done anything to hire anyone. UGH anyway, that sums it up. Is it May yet? I need heat and sunshine and my violets

I sucked it up and got on the scale this morning... afraid of what I was going to find... I was shocked... was only 205... I felt like 215 to tell the truth... so I was happy... considering all the pain meds and food I felt like I was eating this week. I'll just keep doing what I've been doing all week... and Monday starts a new week... and new job... I'll bring my lunch and be away from food...

Morning gals so... had a big day planned for today, have to be to work at 2 got up early... and the snow started early, already an inch on the ground. I'm so upset. Had a big night planned tonight too. not going anywhere in the snow. I do have to run down to my friends to have him fix my headlight for me. It is making me crazy not working and I already got pulled over for it. Well... TOM is still here... it has been 5 full days. I'm starting to get slightly worried about that... I never go more than 3 days and that is a bad week, and i had very bad cramps this month. I am afraid to go back to obgyn - they told me any more issues and they were going to take my parts since I can't have anymore children. I just don't have time for that. Terry - You sould like we did with gram... great gram, great mother, great life, we just didn't want her to suffer. You are in my prayers hey everyone!!!!!! that way I can't forget... LOL I am spacey lately Haydee... that was such a cute pic... you are not a dork!

Hi guys just checking in... ds is making me crazy today... breathe.... anyway... have you all heard about MUFA's and loosing bellyfat? It was in my prevention magazine and then on Oprah yesterday (but i missed it) about the same thing. Anyhoo... to sum it up, you add 1 small serving of the following to every meal... olives, oil, nuts, avacado, or chocolate. I mom has been doing it and swears her pants are fitting different and her love handles are going away. it is odd. But she has had olives with every meal, just 4-5. I got some macadamia nuts yesterday and had 5 with my breakfast, (protein shake) and will do the same for lunch and dinner. I'm going to do shakes for a few days, but when i start eating i'm going to put the 1tbs of olive oil/flax seed oil in my tuna/chicken salad. I took measurements yesterday, they have not changed in months - which i guess could be good or bad... but i'll do it after 2 weeks of the MUFA's and see if it really works. ttfn

Good morning ladies. Well - last night I moved furniture, put my table back in the kitchen and the island in the back room and sat at the table. Let me back up... 14 years ago, I was in a horrible car accident, rolled my jeep going 60mph with no seatbelt and was stopped only when I hit a utility pole. Needless to say, I destroyed my back! Anyway, after years of therapy and drugs I got better but sometime some things just don't work for me. OK... back to today, my stools at the island don't bother my back but... I cannot eat at them, I must be sitting funny and everything gets stuck, but the table chairs, I remember why I had them in the back and never sat out there. Within 5 minutes of sitting at the table with mom, I could not get up, once i did, could lot lie down, bend over - i went to bed taking a hydrocodone (sp) and on my side surrounded by pillows. I am better this morning but still hurt a little. Can deal compared to last night. I need to get back to the exercise. Anyway, dd is home this week, our winter break, so last night I asked her if she would do a photo shoot with me today with some new clothes, of course she said she would. I have a ton of things to do today but if I don't get them posted I'll post them tomorrow. I have to be to work today at 4. The count down begins! Tracyks - I need a new dl pic. mine is 20 years old, but I'm going to wait until i get to 190. LOL

Tracyks - I start my new job on Monday!!!! Just went shopping with mom, she got me clothes for my birthday that is coming up. I got... 2 pr dress pants, 2 pr casual pants, 3 skirts and a bunch of tops (5 sweaters and 5 shirts) all for $250! and I was so very happy with everything I got. I am slightly bloated from TOM but all the bottoms were 16's - which should I mention I was thrilled about because when I was this weight last time I was in 18's and tops were med/lg depending on how I would wear them. Then we went to applebee's for dinner and I stuffed myself - came home and made breakfast and lunch for tomorrow. I need to get it together! Anyhoo.... I'm going to hang up my clothes and do some more laundry...
