TracyK

I can't see the pics until I get home :behindsofa: boo

I am doing good no CTCD as well (so far) Tracy-I will send prayers up for your parents! Terri-you can win your rewards!! I have faith in you! When I said 'sobriety' I really meant it cause I am addicted. There is really no other way to put it. :thumbup: Kat-((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) to you and hope things are going well with you and dh. Gotta get back to work real quick....bbl

Lets do CTCD today ladies....I am, who's with me?

Good morning violets~ Terri-congrats on the little unfill. I think you will be much happier now that you can make better food choices...I am. Michelle-congrats on your day yesterday of making good choices. I did the same. Here's to day 2 of sobriety.... Have a great day everyone. I will be bored at work today so I will pop in I am sure...

I hear ya sista!1 Haydee-different zip codes....that was very funny! lol Sorry I won't be able to come. Its all part of having a 4 year old (with a routine) and nobody to babysit..

Laura-once you got to "window over the bathtub" I knew it was only going to go downhill.... sorry your trip was a bummer :tongue2:

Good morning everyone...not much time to type this morning so I will make it short & sweet. Terri & Haydee-I am not going to be able to make our date this week. Weekdays are really tough for me (for now anyway) plus dh is working nights on top of that. Makes me sad :tongue2: Have a great day violets!!

Jane-woohooo you go girl! Before you know it you will not even have time for us violets anymore! Judy-you and your dd are going to have so much fun on the cruise. I know how excited you must be! Love the pic too. She looks cute in her uniform Suzie-she is a cutie pie Pammie-playing in the water with a rottie in your undies...life doesn't get any better, right?! Have a great evening everyone.

Michelle-I hear ya sister! My deal is that it was really a hard pill for me to swallow to realize that after 18 years with my job, I was not contibuting one red cent to the household and on top of that, I was paying a daycare and missing out on macys life. I had gotten as far as I was going to get with a sorry company that does not appreciate their employees. So I am using this opportunity to spend the summer with macy, regroup everything, and maybe even start over in the workforce. I am SO done with that job and am looking forward to the unknown. Everything about me has changed and my job I am qutting now is the last peice of the "morbidly obese" Tracy. Kind of scarey but WAY exciting! You are a positive kind of person, so just flip it around and tell yourself that you are ready to met a new challenge (work or whatever) head on!! Pammie-sorry you missed the tennis match :incazzato:

I like to remember back a year ago and remember what sizes I used to wear too...unbelievable isn't it? All of us have done such a fantastic job! :thumbup: Pam-sorry about the fire but hopefully it was contained before any homes were damaged, was it? Jane-we had fun. We weren't there long because we could just tell it was a lost cause. You know how sometimes you can either hear the winning or not...well, we did not hear anything so we just stayed for a little while, had some lunch and came home. We had fun though. I lost track on my work day countdown...I am not really good at it like Judy is. Lets see...I will do workdays, that will be more fun. 19

Pammie-are you awake yet? I was so sad that Big Brown did not win the triple crown. I was hoping Laura would get to see a little history! Have a great evening violets!

Good morning violets!! Macy is gone and it is quiet as a mouse around here. I am jealous that terri is going to Gruene (or close to it) again this weekend. I am going to get up and do something today....not sure what but I will do something! Maybe go get a little cash and go play some nickel slots? Hmmm, there is a thought. Maybe I oughtta just save the gas and play my video slots on my laptop...lol. I don't know. Have a great day everyone!

Hershey? Did someone say HERSHEY? YUMMMYUM! Jane-I am not having any trouble getting on the site. I wonder why you are having a hard time... Judy-wow-sirens for the warning....YIKES that would scare the dog mess out of me! Do they blast for long? Haydee-I have no idea where to meet. I am looking forward to it though! TracyinKS-YAY for no cast!!! What a relief, right?! Pamela-Funyuns and cottage cheese??....um....are we preggo? Have a great night violets!!!

Hi everyone! I am tired...I have a headache...I have the munchies... Pray for me... Freedom Countdown.....29

Good morning violets!! All of this Palm Springs stuff is making me get the itch!! LOL about all sleeping in pams closet! Who knows, maybe I could get a free ticket from my sis in law to fly there....hmmm, something to think about! :thumbup: Pam-could you get your MIL to cook us some really good food? lol OK, gotta go to work. I think I will make myself a countdown for work days ticker.....

Hi violets!! Jenn-good to see you! Sounds like yu have a full plate and that you are loving it! I am so glad for you. Judy-I am glad I made the decision to stay home too. Really after looking at the numbers it was the only thing that made sense...but I am happy it worked out this way Terri-wow, you do wanna go on a trip soon don'tcha? Bad enough to crash TracyinKS trip...lol Terri & Haydee-weekdays for me it would have to be either lunch or early dinner cause of macy. After July 3rd I will have loads more time :smile: TracyinKS-whatcha up to? OK....someone come over here and get this can of whipped cream away from me........ Have a good evening violets!

Laura-I hear what you are saying but be careful...I thought that too and woke up 17 pounds heavier. Just some caring advice from your roomie Trust me on this one thing...keep getting on the scales regularly, because it will keep you aware! If you stay away from the scales it is a disaster waiting to happen. I don't want you to have to battle losing weight that you have already lost once...that is what I (and others) are doing now and it SUCKS! Pamela-I wish I would have been awake to call you! I hope someone "reached out and touched" ya! lol Good morning violets! I am still on a high knowing I will be a fulltime mom soon! Where is Jenn and Michelle? Have a super duper day everyone!! :eek:

Thanks Terri and by the way...I live close enough to take you up on the drink offer Congratulations!!! Thanks Jane!

Good morning violets- Pamela-Bob Green was impressed with a 17 pound weight loss in a year for someone that quit smoking? OK, I wonder what the stats are for someone banded that quits?! Guys, I have talked to dh about this and it has been really working on my mind and heart. I have done & redone the math and I realized that I am working for nothing. Let me try to explain it better...after my car, gas, insurance, and day care, I literally make no money. I have been kicking this thought around for a while. I go to work to pay for a "ride" to work. I am accomplishing nothing, my job sucks, they do not respect me or the time I have put in. My lifelong dream has been to be a wife & mother. I have been giving that up for nothing. I was crying every day because I am letting someone else raise my daughter while I was at work accomplishing NOTHING money wise! I was becoming someone I can not stand personality wise. I stay depressed. So my question to myself is, am I willing to give up my car (the only thing I was working for anyway) to be able to fulfill my dream of being a stay at home mom and the answer is YES. I will just get an "in case of emergency" car and pay cash for it. The part that worried me the most was if dh would be behind me. Well, after I explained it to him and he saw what I saw he said he is behind me 110%. WHEW! I need to find out if dd school bus comes by here and if it does I will be able to turn in my notice really soon. If not it will be more like September. But, there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. Have a great day everyone....I know I will for the first time in a very long time (except for Gruene)

OH..OH...I know!! Do I smell a violet baby shower in the future?

Pamela-I am so proud that you have gone almost a YEAR without smoking! Way to go....there is no going back now!

Laura-thanks for making me tear up!! *sniff* I think you should have one now...that can be our next violet trip....coming to see our new little violet!!!

I bought myself a hat...as for macy...I would not be able to keep one on her head...espcially in a pool
