Good Morning:)

I feel good after a good nights sleep. Now its back to the rat race!:) First thing today so far, DS's pamper fell apart in his crib and there was little beads of stuff everywhere...so I had to change everything in the bed. Im sure the day will get better. (as in more things will happen yet:+ )

Im planning a run soon. Hoping the flies won't be out but Im sure they will be without a doubt. Then maybe when he naps I will get a leg workout in.

Belinda** I use Tide cold water all the time and I have gotten into the habit of washing my clothes with cold water, I really don't notice a big difference. If i were you I would probably get bathes but boil some water first:+

Cheryl** Good job with the workout yesterday! I guess you are happy that the weekend is here after yesterdays busy day.

Im not sure what I will do the rest of the day. I don't feel lonely and Im sure I could find lots to do around here.....

BBL!
Lori:)
 
Good morning Lori and all who follows,

Lori, you wash your towels in cold water too? I wash towels in hot water! I need to give Tide cold water a try! Hope your day will get better! Enjoy your run!

Cheryl, awesome job with your workout yesterday!

Today I will do S,J & P!

I will be back after my workout!

Oh...I also forgot to tell you guys this little story.

So, my SIL was comming into town last night to pick up my neice (who babysat for me all week) Now, my SIL is very out spoken, we have had it out over the yrs but I have come to learn to ignore her. She can be very contray at times...and so on. I call her on Wed night to tell her that if she wants, they can all stay here on Fri night, thinking, we would get a movie or something.
She gets here last night about 7ish with her other 2 kids, I see her car in the driveway but I don't see her. I ask one of the kids where their mother is and they said that she is gone out for dinner with her friends. So she just hopped in the car with her friends, didn't even come in to ask if anyone wanted anything or if I wanted to go. Not that I would have but with a 14 yr old here and 3 12 yr olds, i think there was enough people to babysit.
I had a hard time getting DS to settle down last night, which is the norm these days. Finally, from 10-10:30 I don't hear a sound from him. At 10:30 my SIL gets here, the people that drop her off blow their horn as they are leaving and then they start having a conversation....YELLING mind you, b/c she is on my front step while they are out in the st, in their car and my sons window is open b/c of the heat. I was soooo pissed! He starts crying again and I have to go rock him...as if I haven't been busy enough all day!
When I come back downstairs I jokingly say, "tell Kelly the next time she is here to not blow her horn when she leaves" My SIL then says " what? Do you own the st now?" UGH! I said " no but DS window is open and you guys woke him" Prehaps it was a mistake to invite them here for all night. Prehaps by the time I get back from my run they will be gone!

Belinda** Yep, i wash my towels in cold water to. I usually wash my dish clothes in warm water though,.

Gonna go for my run now, just wanted to share my story!

Good Morning commit chicks;-)

Lori-your sil sounds like shes not very considerate of others(sorry,but wow:eek:) yes,maybe she will be gone by the time you get back from your run! How was your run anyway? Did the fly's drive your bonkers?

Cheryl-your so sweet....thanks for the kind words last night! Yay on your date with your DH. How did the dermatologist appt go? I hope its nothing serious? Great workout yesterday!

Belinda-i wash everything in cold water:+,then agian we don't really have any clothes that require special treatment:+. Were a bunch of country people,LOL...t-shirts and bluejeans. And hopefully when i start my job it will only be scrubs. Im sending you some more hugs for everything you have been going through lately:-( poor thing!

Hey to Cookie(hows the rotation going?) Amy(were are you lately,hope everything is ok?) Kristine( hows your day going?)

today will be a late evening walk with the dog for thirty minutes and im also thinking about doing a power walk on the tm. Im aching to get in some weights,but not until monday;-) Ive been psyching myself out now for quite some time about my eating. Im not eating bad,but not great either. Im just having a hard time staying consistant?:-(. Sometimes i wonder if i should start taking that anti-depressant. I keep thinking of that saying " Get your mind right"....well thats my problem,its just not right-right now:-(. how can i focus on anything if my mind isn't right?? ....still trying to adjust to DH's new work hours (even though its been months)along with the stress of trying to find a jobx(

anyways,bbl:)
 
Happy Saturday!

Belinda, oh my goodness, you’ve certainly had quite the time with appliances! Is your house in a development? Have any of your neighbors had similar problems, if they had the same builder/contractor? I would be very frustrated too. Hope it gets cleared up soon.

Amelia, how can your friend do that to you? You are so kind and caring. The rotation is going okay, but traveling does make it harder. I really do like the idea of doing the same as others on the check in – seems like it makes us closer. Hadn’t done SJP in a while, so it was fun to try it again. The past few days I’ve had a couple pieces of peach cobbler, mocha chocolate chip cookies, and a few beverages. And they tasted good! However, I used them as an excuse to squeeze in an extra workout and did IMAX 3. Woohoo! I loved it. Someone at this week’s conference was saying she wished she had the time to exercise, and I told her to become selfish and just do it.

Cheryl, hope everything was okay with the dermatologist. Did you enjoy your date night? Hope next week is less stressful for you.

Lori, boy your SIL would have gotten on my nerves also. Was she gone when you got home from the run? Hope the flies didn’t bother you or your son. Sounds like you’re going to enjoy an evening at home tonight without visitors. One of the kids’ bean bags broke, and I really dislike those tiny white beads.

Kristine and Amy, hope you are also having a great weekend and that things are great with both of you.

Okay, off to shower, laundry, more vacuuming, and other such fun things.

Take care.
 
Hi, everyone! Just finished a really great workout - All UB and ab portions of MIS followed by the first half of Step Fit for cardio. Loved it! Also going on a hike this afternoon (not a tough one) with DH and another couple for a casual date, so that'll be bonus exercise.

Lori, WOW on the SIL - that's sheer rudeness. You were so kind to invite her, but I bet you don't feel like doing that again anytime soon. Sheesh!

Belinda, I bet you're glad for the weekend. You've had quite the week.

Amelia, I'm so sorry to hear you're struggling on some fronts. I don't blame you on not wanting to start the antidepressant if you can possibly avoid it. Hard answers. I may send you some of this supplement a little later on to see what it does for you. I'm really liking it - no stimulants at all and is helping promote loss of just fat, to help promote the benefits of exercise and whatever you can manage towards clean eating. It's actually been reducing my appetite quite a bit.

I've been trying it 2 1/2 weeks now and am seeing good improvement - 3 1/2 pounds lost without drastic diet or exercise changes.

Anywoo, the dermataologist appt was elective - pure vanity - got sun spots burned off and other cosmetic treatment on my skin. Trying to get all spiffed up before the Road Trip. So yes, a tad painful, but my own choice entirely! Nothing wrong.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday afternoon! Enjoy!

Cheryl
 
Amelia, I’m sorry I forgot to pipe in on your comment about an antidepressant. Have you spoken to your doctor about it? Depression runs in my husband’s family, and one of my sons really suffers with it. I wish he would deal with it for his and our sake. He is really burdened by it. I never really knew much about it before him. I’m not saying that’s what you have, but if you think you may it is probably worth checking out. Hope you don’t mind me replying to this.
 
Hi Girls!

I am back from my run and came back to a empty house:) I am going to drive the route I just ran to see how far it was but i was gone for about 90 mins, so I am thinking it was about 9 miles again. Their weren't any flies b/c I ran through town but stayed clear of the busier st's.

Oh...and another note on my SIL, when she dropped the kids off I asked them if they had any supper and they told said "no we had a bag of chips on the way here"!x( She didn't even bring them back anything from the restaurant for their supper! Then she went shopping with the girls, bringing back my neice another pair of flip flops, which made #4 for the collection that was already in my porch. It kind of drives me crazy b/c my neice is 14 and when her mother is around she is a real baby...she chases her mother everywhere and calls her "mommy".AND she is just like her mother. The two of them got up,my SIL drank the last bit of milk with her bowl of Frosted flakes and then the two of them went shopping, leaving me to get breakfast for her other two kids that she didn't buy supper for last night. Sounds sensible?

Ameila** My sil is my brothers wife. They have been together since I was a young girl and beleive me, we had it out over the yrs. Usually ending up with me having to apologize b/c I am the kid and was always in the wrong. We have also had words over the past couple of yrs b/c she isn't very nice to my DD sometimes. Meanwhile, I treat her kids like gold. She hasn't been to bad over the past yr b/c I called her on the way she acted last summer and maybe my brother said something to her.
I know its hard to get your mind wrapped around eating clean and summers are so tough! BBQ's and coolers!:9 Every evening I find myself wanting a cooler but I know thats another 400 cals added to my day that I don't need.

Belinda** My sil can be alright for the most part b/c I don't see her very much. If I had to see her on a regular basis...we probably wouldn't get along that well.

Time to get ready to head out! Have a good afternoon everyone!
