****clean&tidy(and tardy)tuesday****

Good afternoon ladies. I'm having a so-so day, trying HARD to stay positive. I think we all need a (((GROUP HUG)))

Klaudia & Anne, sorry about the game. It's cool that your team made it so far!
Angie, poor thing. I am exhausted just reading your post. Hang in there, you are dealing way better than I would be.
Kate, send your refund my way and i'll hold on to it for you;)
Colleen, did you mention running in 30 degree weather? NO WAY I would do that!
Morris, I agree with Kate, you get so much done. Hooray for a 'home day'!!
Robin, that is a hilarious joke you played on your kids!!

I am very very very tired. Good think i've got lots of variety in my day or I might fall alseep at my desk. Some days I want so so badly to be an at-home mom again. Chris used to make a lot more money, then the economy landed in the toilet. Maybe one of these days, but eventually Collin is going to be grown and I sure hope I don't feel like I missed it all...
 
klaudia, poor mike would love to be thanked....but after ive done all i do at night and crawl into bed at 11 knowing ill be up again soon to feed ChubbyFuzzy the last thing i want to do is stay up longer. maybe i need counseling???? anne, who do you guys see???:(:confused: man, are we a depressing bunch today or wht?!

katie, keep the + vibes comin'! i so need them. i want to have a good cry and go to bed:(. i hate feeling like this.
lol at the $$$$! id love to have it now! i think ill just throw it in a cd or money market so when we do disney next yr its all paid for:)
and you are a very good mom!!!! way more involved than even some sahm-ers i know!

morris, ita on the swt pots... i bought a big'un yday - cant wait to eat it.

lunch is done, steak salad. lotsa salsa.
not sure whats for dinner - maybe takeout - somuch workdrama.:mad:
 
okay, made swt potatoe biscuits. hope they are good. ds's will love em, dh will probably complain that they are healthy. thanks for the dinner support.

kate, have a good cry and you will feel better! i know how crazy those hormones can be with nursing. i am so out of whack after vaca. do take out!

katie, you are a wonderful mom. it is so hard to do it all. just try to take one thing at a time. but i know i'd love to put my head under the covers lots of days.


klaud, sadly, i know nothing about sports. how is your day going? my chick is in the crockpot.

eats are clean so far, finn is being naughty. i got him down for a nap just now. i feel like i should go workout, but i am just tired! we will walk later, though. tomorrow i will hit the weights again i think. probably should not do it back to back days anyways.
 
I promised personals and now I don't have time. Sorry! It's turned into a crazy day here for me. I'll try to be productive for 2 hours and then come back.

anne
 
no worries, anne!

well, i am officially done work on may 2nd - good and bad. good b/c i am really frustrated with my bosses. bad b/c we are not moving as soon as we thought, but my office manager would just as soon have me gone! i am trying to have a good attitude. aidan will come out of daycare, but finn, who is almost 3, would miss his friends so much. so, i talked to the director today and offered to help sub at lunch so the teachers get a break. she said that would be great as her 2nd in command will be on maternity leave! i am hoping this will bring the cost down for finn, give aidan a tiny bit of social time, and allow everything to work out. fingers crossed.

where is everyone? probably doing something important, as i should, but....:D
 
morris, silver lining to every cloud! thatll be great for the daycare situation. im sorry your work is giving you a hard time. mikes frustrated today w/ work too - the #$^$#^# union is giving him a hard time. we're not union and theyre mad. just leave us alone - we pay our employees generously and bother no one. we work hard.....this stinks
i have a recipe for swt pot bisx but havent made it yet....could you post yours?
maybe it is the hormones...hadnt thought of that being a factor still but i suppose it could be...

anne, sorry for the crazy day!

working my way out of my funk....spent time in the kitchen....my therapy!:D:p
 
((((((((((((Group Hugs))))))))))))

I need one too.My family is coming to town this Friday.:eek: oh boy here we go with FD.

I do listen to my ipod when I use my stepper but I guess I hate doing the same motion over and over. Maybe I should try HITT when my ellipical comes.

Katie just thank God that the bills are paid.

Kate that baby girl has so many nick names ....ChubbyFuzzy:) was a bear...

Morris it will be alright. When one door close another one opens.

My therapy...shopping:D but not until next week. This week I have to get ready for the brady-bunch-gone-wild (FD). Why can't they stay in NY...coming down here every holiday.

robin, what kind of elliptical are you getting? shh, don't tell dh, but i hate mine! i just love running and it is boring. ah well. so who is coming to your house? how do they cause drama? goodness knows i go on and on about mine:eek:

kate, what did you make in your kitchen today, dare i ask? i followed the recipe on the recipe forums here for the biscuits. i did not use splenda, but i did use ww flour and they are kind of dense. finn loves em, which was the idea, but a lighter biscuit would probably taste better. what is your recipe?
 
Ack! I'm so sorry! This afternoon turned out to be worse than this morning. I'll try to log on tonight at home, but last night my Internet connection was acting up. I *should* have a little more time tomorrow. I hope everybody has a good night!

Hey Anne

Morris I brought the ellipical from HSN
http://health-fitness.hsn.com/profo...cal_p-4725901_xp.aspx?web_id=4725901&ocm=sekw

FD...We will all meet up in Irene's house. Now last Christmas/ New Years there wasn't that much drama because thr trouble makers left town early but this holiday Tracey is living with her mom Irene. Neither one is very happy because Tracey (and her 4 kids) does not seem to think that she has to pay rent. :confused: I believe that Irene has complain to other family members so this will be the big issue. Plus they start drinking around 12 noon so by 5:00 they start to speak their minds.

Plus Irene blames Tracey's kids for giving her computer a virus, but really Irene allowed the antivirus firewall to expired.

Hooray-2 days in a row! I ended up doing a 45 minute incline/speed walk and most of the abs from CoreMax #1-my dvd player kept freezing. I think it's time for a new one cause it happened with Ab Circuits, too. Just got done with dinner-turkey kielbasa, sweet potato fries, and corn-not the best but good. Baths and American Idol/Desperate Housewives on tap for tonight:)

Morris, what kind of chicken did you end up making? Sweet potato biscuits sound yummy. Lucky for me Darrin's mentality is:If he ain't cookin', he ain't complainin':)

Robin, at least you have a sense of humor about it all! Don't worry, you won't be alone in the FD-we always go to Darrin's dad's house and it's always tense cause his sisters don't go-they call their dad "Biological Bill"-in front of my kids no less! And this year his mom wants us to come over which will cause even more grief when we tell his dad we're going there, too. Luckily it's not like that at my family's Easter-we're just really loud!

Kate, it's perfectly normal to have no interest. My ob/gyn gave me cream to help me get in the mood;) Not that I used it! Good idea to save the refund for Disney.

Katie, don't beat yourself up! You're a great mom who is super involved in Collin's life. Don't think it's all rosy as a SAHM, either. We have issues, too.

Anne, hope we see you later:)
 
no worries anne! youre abt to get busier w/ alexa coming!:D

robin , lol at brady!!! seriously tho - yuck. sorry abt th fd.
yay ellp tho! awesome!

mmmmm....swt pot fries.....what do you put on yours? we like br sug, kosher salt, pepper and olive oil....

-
tris tonight and some cardio. then zzzzzzzzzzzzz. sorry mike!
 
lol, kate! yeah, men have needs. sometimes i just give in b/c it is easier:eek: how do you get sweet potato fries crispy and not mushy? your dinner sounds yummy. glad your evening was fun.

robin, i understand about the drinking. you have such a good attitude! hope you survive it all. what are you cooking? your elliptical is so cute!

klaud, your dinner sounds good too. finn vetoed the salsa, so i just threw the cr of chick soup in with chick and veg. it was okay, but my tummy hurts tonight. great wo! maybe i should ask my doc about the cream:rolleyes:

anne, when do you get your dog? i must have missed that last week.

my chest is so sore today. i guess that is good. we have a showing tomorrow. hope that does not mess with my scheduled bis and tris 2x's. hope to run and step in the am. we will see how the tummy is.

katie, you okay?
 
Morris, My fries arent exactly crispy - havent totally figured that out yet, but I'm working on it. The ends will get a little firmer but the middles are def soft. Tastes great so I ;m not in a huge rush to tweak it but the crisp ould be yum! I think I bake them around 400* for 30 min, flipping 20 min in. One recipe said to saok them in cold water for 30 min prior but Ihavent found that to make a bit of difference. I do have a FRIED swt pot fries recipe - crispy goodness! But I dont think that's what you're looking for!:D
yay sore chest! Hope you get your WO tomorrow! And good luck with the showing!
 
I am here and yes I was buried at work today. I am in back to back meetings all day (including lunch) so that leaves little time to get work done. Tomorrow will be crazy again, Thursday will be better and Friday only 1 meeting. I am sending everyone a Group Hug too because I think we all need it. Hopefully I will have time for personals tomorrow.
 
Colleen, You must be FRIED!!! Hugs to you too!

Got my tris done but nothing else. PayrollMax now.....hope to be done soon then it'll be lights out for me!
