I got a text late yesterday from Kate saying that she and the girls were in Florida, and Mike was at home (presumably with his head in the toilet bowl). BOOOOO! I gently reminded Kate that she was more than capable of handling this and she and the girls will still have a great time!
I slept until 630 am -
- and it was wonderful! Collin and I have a pancake breakfast to attend at 10 am, then we will do some shopping / errands. It's supposed to be 90 degrees here today - ugghhhh!

good morning katie - oh i hope it is a wonderful weekend!! how is baby skunk? the nausea?
well, i got more sleep last night which is good. my body was super tired during my run this am, so i did 8 miles and that is it. i really wanted to do some bw workout stuff, but it just wasn't going to happen. clean max shortly, and hoping for another day of clean eats. i have a lot of errands to do and houses to look at.
from yday - becky, now you have me scared with the 2 week thing. i had my first bad nights sleep again after 2 weeks on the rozeram. the good thing is i did sleep last night, but i cannot go back to not sleeping. i just cannot.i know i could never take a benadryl type thing - i react badly. but the melatonin gives me hope.
lisa, glad the dr appt went okay. i love first ultra sound too. we need to find a place to rent by aug 1st, so no taking a break. it is just depressing, though. plus i am going to miss the few friends i have now in the neighborhood. i do not want to start all over.
off to have breakfast. i soooo do not want to clean a house today

I AM COMMITTED TO A FABULOUS WEEKEND!
even tho my husband is home while I am in Florida
Even tho I had to drive 3 kids to Detroit airport at 5 am by myself
even tho I had to sit in an airport from 11:30 til 5PM with 3 kids
even tho we lost our $ from Avis because Mike wasn't here to sign for the car
even tho Mike wont get here til Sunday afternoon and we couldnt transfer his ticket
Needless to say our vacation started out a total bust. I did alright til Avis took my money and wouldnt refund/transfer. I totally fell apart crying for about 20 minutes. But we are here and Mike is slowly improving. I'll pick him up at the airport Sunday at 3.
I think we are going to Hollywood Studios today. Waiting to do the better parks til Mike is here.
I better sign off for now - lots to do w/ no hub around to help!

Your day sounds so nice - even with the heat! We;ll be going out to bfast and I will have a hard time resisting nibbling pancakes!
Nina, Then dont clean house! Chances are no one notices but you anyway!

Hey girls,
Woke up with a pretty nasty cold. Yuck. Got lots of studying to do.
Katie, you will have a great weekend. You have so much to be happy about! What's the word on Frank? Will he make it home this weekend?
Kate, UGH, UGH, and more UGH. I'm so sorry your vacation started out this way. You have your friends there to help, I presume? I know things will get better and just remind yourself of what a great story this is going to be in the future. You will ALWAYS remember this family vacation. Make the most of it! Build great memories for your family and laugh off the annoyances.
Nina, I was thinking about you this morning. Ryan just read a book called born to run and I'm considering trying again. Just need to make some changes to my way of running and see if it helps. Sorry house hunting is stressing you out. Moving is no fun. Living in transition is so hard - I know! Hang in there. How long is DH home for?
Ryan has the girls at the park so I need to use this time to read.
BBL.
(probably no WO today... I'm not up to it)

Morning!
It's a stormy Saturday in MI, but supposed to clear up later this afternoon. I'm waiting for my SIL to call and tell me where and when we're meeting to drop off the girls. D's at work and then is heading up north so I'm going to be alone tonight-ahh. Today's workout is CTX S/B/T and some cardio maybe. Yesterday I did LL, abs, 3 sets of pull ups (6/7/5) and went on 2 walks (almost 3 miles total) so I don't feel too bad about the 3 slices of pizza and 1 cc cookie I had.
Katie, does Collin like shopping with you? I try to avoid that like the plague-bad mom, I know. Have fun at the pancake breakfast
Nina, glad you slept better-8 miles with a tired body?! Don't worry so much about the house-as soon as you clean it, it'll get dirty again!
Kate, you can do it!! Sorry for all the bs-but just think years from now, you'll be laughing about "the time you went to Florida"
Angie, sorry for the cold Milla and Nevena both have wicked coughs but nothing else-weird. I hope you can get some rest and some studying done. I'll have to check out that book-maybe it can help me break through this mental block.
Becky, what a great night!
Anne, happy shopping! How was poker night?
Lisa, a New Year's baby-what a gift!
Wendy, how's SF?

Angie, I'm sorry you're not feeling good! You poor thing. Take it easy today and baby yourself, okay?
Kate, {{{{HUGS}}}} Angie's right, this trip will create great memories. On the boards for the cruise I was on one person had a horrific story of getting home afterward and they wrote, "Yeah, you either have a great trip or a great story." So hang in there and we're here when you need to vent. Have fun today and Mike will be there tomorrow!
Katie, pancakes....yummmmmmmmmmmmmm. Now I'm hungry. Thanks. Ha!
My girlfriends will be here about 11 and we're going to start with an early lunch and then shop, shop, shop. Yay! I ended up having dinner with a friend last night and we had a great time. We went to an Indian place she had never tried before and it was delicious. I hadn't had Indian in a long time, so I was a happy camper. And even tho it was like 9 by the time we got our dinner I did exercise portion control and brought home leftovers.
Hi to everybody else! Happy Saturday!

Klaudia! We posted at the same time. The poker thing? Not at all what I expected. It wasn't a charity poker tournament at all. It's this gambling house near campus and on this weekend people from the organization I was volunteering for hand out the chips and cash out people and the organization gets half the proceeds. Not my thing AT ALL. I had no idea places like that even existed outside casinos. Gambling just is not my thing, if I'm going to part with money I want to bring something home, kwim? Anyway, live and learn. I won't be doing that again. But dinner afterward was great fun, so it wasn't a total bust.

Oh Kate !!!!!!!!! Ugh , ugh and UGH is RIGHT !!! I feel so sorry for you. What an awful start for you !!!!
Just remember you are strong and capable , you can do this !!!!
And soon Mike will be there , hopefully ready to have fun & help out !!!!
Loads of early morning errands, mostly getting groceries . SO glad that is done !!!
Football later , if it's not cancelled due to rain.
Nina, I didn't mean to scare you. I react very strangely to meds. Hopefully you'll not have any problems taking what you are taking long term, if need be. I KNOW how panicky I get thinking of going back to not sleeping .....!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just couldn't take it ! But see , the benedryl wouldn't work for you, and that type of drug didn't work for me. Everyone is different but I believe you can find what works for you. Hopefully you already have !
Gotta get something to eat. I'm famished !!

Hi Everyone!
I finally have my iPad and I am trying it out. I think I will end up using as a book reader but it is nice that I can surf the web and check email if I can find a wifi network. Today's workout was Hiit 40/20 followed by ME Express workout. No big plans for the weekend which is nice.
Kate, sorry for the rough start to your vacation. If nothing else it will make this trip memorable. Enjoy your girls day today.
Katie, Have fun at your pancake breakfast. I am dying for pancakes for some reason.
Lisa, so exciting about the baby. Hope you find a new house soon!
Nina, yeah for a good night's sleep. Don't worry about your dirty house.
Klaudia, Hope the weather clears soon. Enjoy your free night tonight.
Anne, have fun shopping today. I need to get out and get some summer stuff.
Angie, sorry about the yucky cold. Hope you feel better.

today...
25 mins on the arc trainer. then 25 mins ub weights, some weighted squats and a good long stretch. have i mentioned how much i love this gym???? had my weigh-in for the biggest loser and guess what, im overweight. lol. no big surprises except that my ub strength is above average and my muscle mass is high / good for someone of my weight and height. the reviewer felt it was worth noting that my lower body strength is in the low average range and out of balance with ub... interesting and prob due to my lack of weighted lb work since my knee has been bothering me. so i did some squats on the leg press machine and kept the weight low just to see.
b - cheerios, strawb, milk
l - oatmeal breakfast bar, not my best choice, will be better tomorrow
d - br rice, sw pot, yellow pepper, tomato with cheddar and salsa in a wh tortilla, had 2 of these
I feel like i overate at dinner after not eating enough all day and working out hard. need towork on that.

Good Morning !
We woke to more rain .
Yesterday , I did get all my errands done, then did a spin on the bike and then GOT ANOTHER MIGRAINE !!!!!! So I spent the rest of the day on the couch and migraine pain med at night that helped me sleep some ! It's not all that bad this morning, so maybe it will go away today ????? I HOPE !!!!!!! I had stuff to do today !
Kate, hang on a little longer ! Today Mike will be there !
Angie, hope you feel better today. I agree with Wendy- take all that stuff......and I drink Zipfizz (filled with vitamins and everything to fight a cold and build immune system)

Yes, Nina, Valarian worked fairly well for me. It stinks to high heaven though. Like sweaty gym socks. NO KIDDING ! I told my dh , he could see how desperate I really was for sleep, I didn't hesitate to take it , but man was it awful !!!!
I'd take it again if I had to stop taking what I am now though.........

Ok, so not the weekend I planned for. Haven't been able to get an internet connection all morning. Finally fixed it. Last night was horrible-Darrin ended up in the ER-almost cut off 3 fingers with a table saw. In addition to the cuts, he fractured the fingers and had to get 20 stitches. He goes back tomorrow to meet with an orthpaedic surgeon to see if he needs surgery. That means he can't take Danica on her 5th grade camp field trip-that's what made him tear up He's still up north at our friend's cottage and will be coming home soon where I will promptly kill him-then smother him with kisses. Stupid man. Anyway no workout yesterday and bad eats. Hopefully I can get something done today.
