Happy New Year everyone. Yes, I'm fine, been lurking alot more than writing. Has anyone tried the flylady.net program? I am anxious to declutter because honestly, my daughter is 5 and I still have most of the infant items that I don't need. I am going to sell everything, high chair, little tykes toys, ect. I realize I won't be having another child, if I do it won't be for atleast 2 years while I'm healing. Yes, I will still be having the RNY. I hope to have my surgery date in the next few weeks. Everything is done and I'm just waiting for the psych report to come to dr baumans and be updated in the system. I cannot beleive I'm out of the planning stage and in the active stage. I cannot wait to reap the benefits of this.

I hope everyone had a good holiday. We stayed home, ate choclate fondue, watch the ball drop and I Went to sleep. WEre and exciting bunch. My daughter still doesn't really know what's going on with the holidays. Now, my next project, figuring out where she'll go to kindergarten, I didn't read anywhere how exhausting parenting can be.

Daycare centeres were my most difficult decision, and now public vs private schools and Gaston Vs CMS and should we move? Decisions, decisions.

Kathy,

Thanks for your opinion. I haven't done any research yet for this post op birthcontrol. I know from the paperwork pills and Patches don't work for rny patients. I am not ready to have my tubes tied, and i'm not sure I want to have anymore kids. I'm only 32 so I have a few more good years,

my husband thinks once I lose this weight I will feel so great that age won't matter. I'm unsure though. My mom was 40 when she had me and it was a rough upbringing, she was sick all the time and past away two years ago when I turned 30. I was parentless at 30. It makes me sad too that icannot share this with her. She would be dead set against it altering our bodies in any ways.

32 is young. Don't tie those tubes yet. So, no pills, no Patches. What about Depo shots? I can't stand those things. Everyone I talk to that's had them likes the "no periods" but they still leave you wondering...since you have no schedule to be sure you aren't pregnant...you know the sigh of relief each month when you get that period and KNOW for sure your birth control worked this month? Not with Depo. Plus you will have so many other changes going on after your surgery, it'd be just another factor to consider. Hmmm. Condoms. Ewww. Do they still make those sponges?

I'm sorry about your Mom. I don't care how old you are, you still need your Mom.

I had my kids at 34 and 37, almost 38. Hubby is 5 years older than me. But I think our ages are an advantage to parenting. Give it a few years. You aren't too old for another child. Besides, if you don't get this birth control thing figured out, you may get preggo sooner than later! hehe You'll do fine.

Why no patches, I wonder?

edie, I get the digests, too. You have to dig around in the web site to find where to change it, but it changes really quickly, then you'll get each of the e-mails bunched on one nice neat package once a day, maybe twice if they add on something. I just kind of run a day behind if I follow their schedule. Which I don't manage to do very often. It really helps me to focus, though. I find myself saying "just the middles" and "I don't love it" all the time as I clean and toss. Tell me if you hav eany trouble changing it, I'll see what I can find out. Now, go get those hot spots! LOL

Call me a selfish delusional narcissist, but I swear flylady.net was created especially for me! That fat lady old lady with wings even kinda looks like me. Thanks for sharing a site that just may save the ounce of sanity rambling around my disorganized coconut!

Tomorrow is my very last day in Corporate America, so my whole life takes on new meaning next week, and my first order of business every morning will now be Flylady with coffee! COOL SITE!

I've browsed it a few times, like what I read, but have yet to utilize any of it...I gotta get my but in gear!! I've had a week long case of the blahs and I'm dying to break out of the duldrums. I love the sight, thanks for reminding me it's there. I"m awaiting that body clutter book review!
