Morning girls,

We're up and going this morning and have had our regular Saturday pancake breakfast!

Need to go to the grocery store and get some food for the week and also want to look for some patio furniture!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

BBL!
 
Hey ladies, I woke up at 4 am and was wide awake and a bit stressed. There are quite a few things to be done and very little time. Chris and I are supposed to go to this concert that we won tickets to tonight, but I'm just not sure if it's gonna happen. It's an hour drive, it's an outdoor venue and it might rain, and we have a ton to do here. And gas has gone up 30 cents a gallon for the holiday weekend. What should we do????

My day will be filled - Target, Kohl's, Martin's (more groceries), pick up some bbq, home to clean and nap and clean some more.

Alright, I'm off to get a head start! WO will be STS M3W4 chest and back - MY LAST STS WORKOUT - whenever my spotter wakes up!
 
^^ Oh yes, and we have no babysitter for the concert. Collin's dad called last night and backed out of seeing him this weekend.

This is why I NEVER tell Collin his dad is coming. Jerk!
 
Alright, I'm off to get a head start! WO will be STS M3W4 chest and back - MY LAST STS WORKOUT - whenever my spotter wakes up!

Ok, change of plans, I'm not doing it. I'm just not that into it. My mind is too preoccupied. I will do something else to stay active today so I don't feel like a sloth, but this 68 minute workout ain't happenin'!
 
oh katie, what a start to your day! i completely understand why you don't tell ds when his dad is coming. disappointments are so hard to swallow. good plan to pout the wo off for now when you are not into it. get some stuff done and you will feel better. any chance for a nap later?

hi angie - what sort of stores will you shop at for furniture? are they like us stores?

well, i finally got some sleep last night. got up early anyways and did a shorter run and some abs. need to do somemore floor work later. ds woke early early, but was dry and wanted to use the piotty. then my mom called at 7:30. she was crying and needy. meanwhile dh is still in bed, both kids ae clamoring for breakfast. this is so hard sometimes! i feel bad for my mom and i want o help and be supportive. i feel a bit [ulled upon in all directions though.

kl, i am sorry abou t the hypo episodes. i hope this one passes quickly. is your medication or therapist helping? do you know what emotinally triggers them? hope i am not being nosy - just want to be supportive.

robin, do you think the amy bento is the best kb startup wo? what is aos?

kate, glad you got some rest last night. you are the best mommmy i think. and, you had no cheat? what willpower to givw the girls ic sundaes and none for you. i would have been all over those.

lisa, how was work from ome?

anne, how was tap? what do you wear for the recital?

my day is getting away from me and i feel the stress coming on. must deal with it in a productive way - i wish i had gone for a longer run:(. okay, i will not stress eat today.
 
Good Morning Everyone!

I woke up early too with a lot of things I want to get done today. Nothing is urgent but I just like to get things done. I am glad it is a long weekend because I really need the time to get things done. I am debating whether I should do the Gauntlet this morning or LIC. I got the Terminator DVD when I bought my sister's high step and I want to try it. I want to get out of here by 10 since I want to get to the stores early to take advantage of the sales. We are off to a picnic tonight where they will serve crabs for the adults and hot dogs for the kids.

Morris, sorry you are so stressed. I have received very high recommendations about the aos kb dvd's from some experts. I would encourage you to get one of them.
Katie, sorry about the stress. I love having parties but sometimes the stress and the work needed takes away from the joy. I am sure you will get everything done.
 
Morris, there is ALWAYS time for a nap! Sorry about the stress with Mom, you are a very caring and supportive daughter.

Colleen, I vote for LIC but I don't own the other wo you mentioned so I can't really comment. Enjoy your picnic and seafood this evening!

Yes, entertaining is very stressful but I really love to do it. I wish I had a bigger house and more money so I could do it all the time!

So far I have put down some new soil/plant food in the flower beds, planted one last pot, made my grocery list, and showered. Off to start the shopping!
 
Good morning!

Nothing like waking up to Nevena singing a Pink song-"...I'm gonna drink my money, not gonna pay my rent..." Good stuff! So I had pizza (3 slices) but NO salad for dinner last night and a breadstick and a handful of m&m minis. Revoke my memebership if you must! Busy day here too. I have to go to a wedding shower that's about an hour away in the middle of the day-blech! Need to get downstairs and do Plyo Legs before I go otherwise it'll never happen. Then I need to get a gift for our friends/neighbors who just had a baby on Monday and go visit them, get the older girls bathed and packed for an overnight to my mom's-they're going to a wedding tomorrow. And maybe a bonfire tonight:) Phew!

Angie, happy shopping!

Katie, focus on your party! STS will be there later.

Morris, glad you got some rest. Sorry about your mom. You are a great daughter, but remember as tough as it is, your family is your first priority. Yay on Finn and the potty-I'm jealous. Nevena is very bright-and stubborn! She better get on the ball-they won't let her into preschool in the fall! AOS is Art of Strength (www.artofstrength.com) they produce awesome kb dvds. As for my hypo, I haven't been taking the Xanax-trying to avoid it. And no $ for the therapist. I think this bout was triggered by a friend getting diagnosed with MS. And since I've been experiencing tingling, pins and needles in my hands and feet, I self-diagnosed myself, rather than go see a doctor. Cause of course it can't be a something simple with me; it has to be dire.

Colleen, busy day! I second LIC-for the same reason as Katie:)
 
morning girls! feels like afternoon w/ as long as ive been up & as much as ive got done!:eek: yet somehow by the end of the day it will seem like time flew!:rolleyes: how is that possible?

My child is being BAD today:mad: I have so much to do and he is MISBEHAVING. This concert is looking less and less likely.
 
Plyo Legs is done! Those one legged squat thrusts? Insane! I'm a sweaty mess and need to get ready for my shower. It's so nice out-I don't want to go sit in a smokey bowling alley:( Yeah, that's right, I said bowling alley. Be back this afternoon!

Good evening friends,

It's 8:30 pm and I just finished showering and put some brownies :)o) in the oven for me and Ryan. He found a mix at the grocery store in Paris and we haven't had them in SOOOO long!

Today's eats were good (brownies not included) and I did Step Max. I've never done that one and I got quite a kick out of it. It's on the classics DVD and it's hilarious. Cathe says, "Looks hot!" about fifty million times and keeps yelling "WOOOO!" like it's a hard workout or something when she's barely broken a sweat. Not to mention that her idea of an intensity blast at that time was a power 8 followed by 4 half jacks. Sweet for me! Still a good WO and about the intensity I needed. At least it amused me!

Katie, I'm so sorry about Collin's dad and the concert! What a bummer! I wish I could come to your party too! The desserts sound so yummy. Don't worry about your WO - do it when you can do it well!

Morris, ugh on FD. I can't even imagine how it would feel to have to support my mom like that. YAY for Finn and the potty!! Ellie was hard to potty train but is dry through the night. Anna was a piece of cake but still wets each night... who knows? Any bites on the house?

Kate, I love that you gave your girls popcorn and ice cream. I want to do that for mine but I don't think they'd quite (at least Ellie) get the "one time" thing! :) Sorry Mike's not helping today! :(

Klaudia, holy social life! I think that's what I miss about "home" so much. It's hard not to have constant friends and things to do. I'm such a social bug! Great job on plyo legs! And take your meds girl - you can't take yourself off of anti-depressants... doesn't work that way!

Colleen, I just got the Terminator DVD too and I'm dying to try it. FF uses those a lot in her rotations so I'm sure I'll get a chance. I just need to build up my endurance again!

Hi to Robin, Anne, and Lisa!! I'm off to eat brownies and do some kissing. :):):)

See you in the morning!
 
Morris, Nothin' like skipping chores for a WO!:D It'll clear your head for the rest of the day tho! We understand!:D

Angie, Have fun kissing & eating brownies!:D
That WO sounds fun!

-
Went to get a few groceries....with child. DH is SSSSOOOO in the dog house. Maybe I'll take Julia and go out for the entire rest of the day til her bedtime! Ugh, I won't , but do you moms ever think about doing that? I would love to just disappear sometimes......
 
im not AS mad at m anymore.....:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: but jeez louise!!!!

eats are decent.
hope everyone is having a great saturday night!
 
Did a good hard 1-hour classical stretch. I NEED to make a habit of doing these WO's more often!!! Makes me feel so good!
 
Kate, sorry about your co-parenting issues. I really need to get some classical stretch!

Well I am WIPED OUT. No concert - tons to do around here and no babysitter (MIL was supposed to keep him, but she got drunk instead:eek::rolleyes::mad:). I have been so busy all day it's ridiculous. Eats were clean except for a Frosty from Wendy's this afternoon. I ate a bigger dinner tonight (cause I'm running tomorrow) but the rest of the day, I ate very little. Hope I can make it thru a few miles in the morning!

See y'all then!
