Shrinkin' Violets Part 3 Read HERE!
Good morning ladies~ My eye is even better this morning...now I have a scorching sore throat. I think I may have gotten a viral infection somewhere that is causeing it all. Too much of a coincidence for me. Luckily I still have some leftover antibiotics and can self medicate. Doctors & rx's are bleeding me dry! Oh well, I have until Valentines Day to get well. That is our 6th anniversary and a few days later is my b-day so we are going to Coushatta to play...and play...and celebrate. I should be all better by then. I am just tired of being sick and I know you all are probably tired of hearing it. New subject...macys school is alot harder than her last one. OMG, I really do not think she will be able to hang...she started as a young 5 year old anyway since her b-day was right before the cut off. The new school is even using more of a script writing of the alphabet instead of the old school block kind. So she is having to relearn having to write her letters. Her homework is insane. For example, February's homework is every night they give them a subject to write a story, 3-5 lines, unassisted! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? So, yesterday I had to write the translation next to the sentences so the teacher knew what it said. Oh well, I guess worst case scenario is holding her back another year. She was doing SO well in her other school too. She LOVES her new school though, so I am happy about that! Have a great day ladies! Respect the pouch!

You are waiting for me to get to the same weight so we can re-lose it together? :confused: Sorry you are feeling crappy! Macy rubbed her eye yesterday and I thought about giving her some drops but I heard from the dr that is not a good idea cause the bottle can be contaminated. Glad I waited, she is OK, thank GOD! Don't forget, there is still the rest of today left...just a reminder Pamela-(((hugs))) Jane-(((hugs))) we are here for you! Keep us posted!

Hi friends~ Move is done, almost done unpacking boxes. Just now got internet and computer set up. I read all the posts and now here I am. DH is so good to me. He did most of the work and I felt horrible about it. I am doing alot better neck wise, thank God. For the past few days I have felt like I was getting pink eye then I woke up this morning with blisters on my eyelid. I had this before...like 4 years ago. I need to go to the eye dr and get this antibiotic cream to put on my eye. I look like someone punched me in the eye and it hurts really bad. I have been eating horrible things too, up until today.:thumbup: i am falling apart. :thumbup: I missed ya'll! Pamela-the tattoo looks great but it also looks like it hurt like hell...I could not do it! lol Gotta run to the store...bbl

Good morning everyone- I am not sure how they are going to fix me but I am sure they will. Never had a herniated disc so I do not know what they do for it. I read that only 1 out of 10 need surgery so that raised my hopes somewhat. I decided to go to the neurologist (even if I am better by then) and let him decide. Mom has been to this dr before in the Houston Medical Center and said he is not the type to just do surgery to do it....for HIM it really has to be necessary. What a relief that is! I am so sorry I haven't done personals in a while. Haven't really been in a personable mood but it doesn't mean I don't love ya'll....just on a rollercoaster mentally & physically. BUT, you can't keep a good woman (violet) down! The only BAD thing about moving right now is where are our W2's gonna go? Old house, new house, yada,yada,yada. Anywho... Have a great day friends. Repsect the pouch! Make great choices!....I am going to TracysinKS house to have some coffee :thumbup: Makes me wanna invade Starbucks!

Kat and Jennifer....yooohoooo OK, so I have an appt with a dr set for Tuesday but now that I think of it I will have to reschedule it for when dh is off work...CRAP. Anyway, relief is on the way. I had read that it could go away on its own...now THAT would be cool. It is alot better than it was 2 weeks ago but it is still painful! OK, need to get off here a while. Have a great evening everyone!

Mornin' ladies- I think I will put the scales away for a while. I normally need them for accountability but my weight is all I ever think about anymore so I do not think I will need them for right now. I think they may be depressing me more than anything. I am going to put them in a box for the move and then take them out when we actually move Friday...or maybe I will leave them in the box until Saturday. Lemme just put it this way, I won't be in a hurry. Pamela-I noticed you hadn't posted but I was gonna give you til today to post before I found you to kick your butt! lol Have a great day everyone, make good choices.

Judy-if you can not share your successes with us, what are we doing here? I see that you are back down to your lowest weight? Right? GOOD FOR YOU! I know in a matter of days you will be under it and I am so proud of you. Yes, I am one of the strugglers, but it does me good to know that someone is WINNING! YOU GO GIRL!

There are times...like now...that I find it very hard to get on here but I know that someone might be worried about me so I get on anyway. Just do it, even to say "I am OK". If I can do it I know all of you can. I just get very concerned about all of you. Like with Judy I was worried that something may have happened to Kris or the baby. With Jane I was worried a test came back and she was really sick. Band aside, we are all friends...am I right or is it OK to just leave? I guess maybe I may be a little closer to you all than I should be?

Good morning ladies, I am still losing a little at a time but am battling demons and fighting tears everyday. Been packing & hurting and depressed. Will check in as I can if I have something productive to say :crying: I KNOW kids make comments like Macy did all the time but it is harder to swallow when I have gained about 50 pounds so I am taking it a little harder than normal. So I guess I will just wallow around in self pity for a few days. :tt2: Where is Judy?
