** DAMAGE CONTROL...SATURDAY **

[gidget1978]

Good Morning Everyone!

I had another interesting day yesterday. DH called me at work Thurs night and said that DS was burning up again. Of course we are frightened to death of temps now b/c he sezuired in March month. So off we go to the emergency room yesterday morning b/c his temp had reached 39.7...not good. We weren't waiting very long b/c a child with a high temp is seen right away, Im sure the people who had been waiting hours before us weren't impressed...not like I care. Anyway, he as tonsilitis....pretty sure I didn't spell that right!

He is going to be fine but of course I had to sleep with him last night so you can imagine how much sleep I got. I accidentally gave him a double dose of motrin last night and wanted to keep my eye on him b/c we skipped his next lot of tylenol. His temp didn't go back up until 5'ish so I just gave him some more tylenol. Hopefully by the end of today the antibiotics will have kicked in and the temp should be subsided.

I am up early to get a run in before I go to work. There are alot of festivites going on around here this weekend but I won't take in much, especially with DS under the weather like this.

I will do personnals when i get to work and relax! LOL I like the refueler I am working with today he is easy going and keeps his distance. Although my boss says he hangs out more with me more then he does anyone else! LOL

Have a good day everyone!!!

Good Morning Girls!

Lori:: Awwww man. Poor little dude. So sorry DS is sick again. Get well vibes comin' at him. I don't blame you for gettin' freaked-seizures are scarey! I don't know if you remember or knew that my DS was in the hospital over Christmas for seizures when he was 18 months old after battling a really severe stomach flu. He ended up being put on seizure meds for a year because he had 3 seizures in one day! He was hospitalized for 2 days-2 of the longest days of my life! I was a basket case! Enjoy this morning's run! Probably gonna be a great stress-reliever for you!

Jacque:: You know DH suggested I call for childcare costs now too to get an idea. I told him that was a dumb idea because things could change by the time we are ready to get pregnant. After thinking about it though I realized it's NOT such a dumb idea. I haven't admitted this to him though! Yes, Great Adventure is a big theme park chain and the one we went to here in NJ is one of the first of it's kind I think. It has changed alot over the years. The rides are getting crazier and crazier and most of them I will not go on so I hadn't been in 15 years prior to y'day's visit. I ended up having fun but we got rained out (well, more like a friggin' MONSOON!!!) and had to leave around 6pm. What a bummer.

Laura:: So happy you went to the doc for that lump and all is OKAY. Phew! Don't need any sick Damage Controllers around here! Thanks re the job hunt. My fingers sure are crossed!!!

Well, that catches me up for y'day. Speaking of which, we had fun but as I told Jacque, we got rained out and had to leave by about 6pm after waiting out a storm for a good 30-45 minutes under cover! Everyone was bummed but what can you do?

Today's work out will be Firm It Up and some kind of cardio. I pulled out BC Butt and Legs cardio so far but that could change by the time I get to it.

Going to a bbq at FIL's today. Lots of food and beer to deal with. It will be a battle I will likely loose but it will be a fun one!

Speaking of food....I didn't do too bad y'day! I had oatmeal and a banana before we got to the park. We all had burgers and fries for lunch (not healthy but I did NO snacking while everyone else was gorging on popcorn and cotton candy!) and we picked up dinner on the way home. Again, not healthy but not a ton of food and no snacking prior. DH wanted to go to KFC so I got a honey bbq chkn sandwich with a side of corn. I had looked this up previously when DH wanted to go there (he never made it that time) and the cal count was about 300 so it wasn't bad. The sodium was high but all fast food is high in sodium. *shrugs*

I will also admit that I had icecream for dessert. I was looking forward to something from cold stone creamery all day at the park since they have that there but we left b4 I could get it so I REALLY wanted icecream. We had Rocky Road in the house so I had a little. It was yummy and I didn't feel guilty about it!

I even braved the scale this morning! Only 1 pound up so I KNOW I did okay! Yay me! I will probably do far worse today though! LOL

Okay, Enough babbling......BBL!

Hey Ladies

I got ouside for a 45 mins interval run and it started to POUR about 15 mins into my run. I was soaked by the time I got home! I don't mind running in the rain but Im sure people thought I was running fast to get home quicker! Ever since the run I haven't been feeling very good though. I could lie down and have a nap and even though I ate, I feel a little "icky", prehaps I am just tired? I worked 2 night shifts, then I slept with DS last night and checked him a couple of times through out the night and then I started my day at 5:35 I don't think what he as his contagious...the Dr didn't say....

Tonight we are going to my inlaws for b-day celebrations. Really...its the same as anyother weekend Big 'ole get together with all the family, next door neighbours and g-ma! Its my SIL's b-day today and my b-day tomorrow but we always have to eat on my SIL's b-day..never mine. Jealous? Maybe!

Wendy** I love how you pretend like you might be a good girl today...but not really! LOL I have been good since Tues and its showing. The scale was lower yesterday then I had seen it in a while. It was sooo hot last night in the house when we went to bed My hands even felt swollen!
Sounds like you had a good day yesterday,despite the rain. DH is suppose to be taking DS to the community breakfast but its still raining out....although, they have it in side when its raining (what am I thinking?)
Seizures are sooo scary and I can't handle stuff like that very well. He sezuired the last time b/c his temp went up 3 x's in one hour and the body can only adjust to 1 point an hour. I think he went from 38-41 in an hour and anything above 39 is sezuire materilal. So when his temp hit 39.7 yesterday morning I thought it was time to go.
I kinda enjoy sleeping with him though. While I was getting ready for bed, DH lay down with him for a bit but as soon as he seen me he wanted DH to get lost and for me to get in bed with him.

Alright...enough babbling! Its sooo dingy here today!

Morning ladies !

Quickie as I gotta get outta here soon for DGS1 Bday. Lots of BDays around here this weekend, huh?

No workout to report after finishing up the BDay shopping last night. Another late night getting back to the house with prep work to do. Sooooo have finished my foods for the party and am hoping to get a weight workout in - will sub tomorrow's rest day for a run. If no weights today then it will be a double tomorrow.

Lori - sorry to hear about DS. Makes is really hard for everyone. Bummer about all the rain in the summer for you. Seems like I'm the only one here who isn't in the middle of rainstorms lately. Good job on getting a run in but maybe you do need a nap. Never hurts - just in case tonight doesn't turn out to be a good one either - plan ahead ! Great job on the scale end of things !

Wendy - That's a big bummer about the rain for you too ! We are lucky out here in CA that rain is typically only in the winter and spring so hitting the amusement parks is pretty easy. And for you to wait that long for it not to stop ! Oh well, sounds like you have loads of fun anyway. LOL about the coasters - I LOVE 'EM. I used to buy season passes to our local park for DH, DS & DD for Xmas and we'd go a few times during the summer. Need to go again - there's one near DS1 that has wild animals and some great coasters - think that may be a plan before winter.

Water water water and then the party today. I'm sure your scale will be your best friend in a few days.

Diana - hope yesterday went well for you.

Laura - good to hear you are getting back to normal for the weekend at least !

Off to get moving here . . . probably be back tonight to check in.

Toodles . . .

Hello Again!

My work out is done. I chose to do cardio first (BBC B&L cardio) followed by SS Firm It Up.

Now I'm eating my (early) lunch and previewing the Insanity work out I got from a fellow Catheite. It's the preview disc-a full 40+ minute work out. I just watched the warm up and it's INSANE! Can't wait to to see what the rest of it looks like!

Lori:: When I behave for several days in a row I can definately see a difference too. What I hate is that it takes several days of clean eating to see a difference yet only 1 or 2 days of bad eating to see the difference. DS definitely prefers me over my DH 99% of the time but ya know what? Except for the rare ocassion where you might have the dad staying home with the kid(s) while mom goes to work, usually in the average home, mom spends more time taking care of the kids then dad so naturally the kids are more attached to the one they spend the most time with. Dad becomes more of the "fun guy" but when they want snuggling, love and comfort, etc, it's all about mom. Just the way it is...wether we like it or not!

Jacque:: My mom bought my sister's family all season passes to Great Adventure last Christmas so they've been to the parks a few times already this year. Now DH wants to ask her for that for Christmas for us for next season. Enjoy DGS1's Birthday party today!

Okay, that's about it for now...gonna finish previewing this CRAZY work out and then I gotta jump in the shower. DH left to go hit a few golf balls after I finished my work out. When he gets back, he's gonna shower and then it's off to the bbq!

BBL!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Back to say....I finished previewing it and yeah! Insanity is definitely NUTS! Can't wait to try it! LOL

Almost time for the BBQ!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi Ladies,

Never got around to checking in yesterday. We had a sub for bootcamp (our trainer is on vaca). Let me just say she is a tiny ball of energy and class was hard. We did a lot of running again. After 1 mile warmup we did a 1 mile Indian run. An Indian run is where you all run in single file, close together and at a moderate pace. The last person sprints to the front of line, then the last person sprints to the front and you just continue for a mile. The trainer was running with us at a much faster pace than the rest of the class...which is why we ended up being so spread out and making the sprinting distance much further. I can't really remember what we did for abs, but my abs are so sore!

DH left the house early to go fishing with some friends and they are also having a BBQ later today and he is brewing beer. At least he won't be stinkin' up our house with yeast and hops!

Jerod ended up getting in trouble for not taking care of something and saying he did. Why do they lie....anyway he is grounded from screen time. That means no tv, no computer, no psp, etc. He's been doing a lot of reading which is good. I told him we were cleaning the house today, heavy duty cleaning. Hopefully we can get a lot done.

DS1 is having issues with his x. I'm not sure how to help him and I can't really go in to detail on this forum. I feel bad for him. He still hasn't found a job and he admitted he's not sure he will have enough for September's rent. He said he has enough for August, but will have to figure something out for next month.

Lori-sending healing vibes to Rylan. I'm sure you were very scared. Hopefully the meds kick in and he gets better real soon. Sorry the rain ruined your run.

Wendy-Can't wait to hear your review of Insanity! I need to keep from spending any more money but will be asking DH for Insanity for my Birthday. I think anyway...the RevAbs looks good too. I think it's supposed to be released in September.

Got sidetracked, my sister called and we were on the phone for over an hour!

Jacque-have fun at GS's first birthday party! I checked my GWF, it has shipped but the delivery date is now Aug 6th. I wanted to do original bodymax today, but cleanmax may be taking its place.

Laura-I met with the NC last night and am down 5lbs this month. I now that's not a lot but at least the scale is moving in the right direction.

Jen-what are you up to this weekend?

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I need to get busy on laundrymax and cleanmax before the whole day gets away from me.
