Good Morning!

Time change affect anyone...or is it just poor Lori who had to work today Im feeling pretty good cause I couldn't get up that early to workout. By the time I crawled in bed it was almost 1 and there was no way I could get up with the new time! So I stayed in bed until 7'ish

But you will be sooo proud of me! I got my workout in last night! I did 6 miles nad disc 3. No DOMS yet...I don't think there will be any.

I am going to read yesterdays thread and return!

Wendy** Are you back yet? We missed you You are probably spending time with DS....you can catch up with us later

Laura** No check in for you yesterday? How was your dinner date? TO MANY CABS!!!???
So did PIA get put in her place? I doubt it if she got to leave at 3:30...it always amazes me how people get off with so much sometimes! I need to get my hair cut..its way to long and after a while my ends go dry looking and I have to rewet it to make the gel hard again! Not that I go around with rock hard hair all day but the gel keeps it from getting frizzy and if I put a little water on it, it tames down again. Anyway, thats how I know it needs to be cut. I just hate going cause its something else I have to find the time to do!

Diana** I didn't know you were getting that procedure done this Fri. Im sure you will love the results once everything settles down. How was your day with your nephew? Im sure you have boys totally figured out! If it was a girl...you might be a big confused! LOL We went to a friends house last night for dinner and they have 3 boys...and I was thinking..."man, you couldn't get one girl out of all these kids?" And they are true boys...rough as they get!She was hoping for a girl the 3rd time. I guess she didn't want one bad enough to do it the 4th time

Angie** I haven't been working at DH's store lately but I have to work this Tues. I don't think I am going to leave this job to work there. He won't pay me enough anyway. Weird thing is....a girl dropped off her resume the other day and it was a girl I use to babysit! DH is going to interview her on Monday. I didn't even know she lived here.
Where are you going on Vaca? And for how long?

Jacque** What is the plan today? Did you enjoy your visitors...or are they still here?

DH is getting tired of his BIL bull crap. Did anyone else read my post on discipling other peoples kids? Well, I went next door to check out the paint color in their hall way last week, DS started to cry and my BIL decided to take matters into his own hands and tell him that he " can't cry in this house...look at me...look at me...you cannot cry in this house" All while holding on to him and not letting him go. Poor bugger was looking at me crying as if to say "save me" and I just stood their in shock.Keep in mind...he just turned 2! And all their 4 yr old does is cry! I could understand it if the kid were destroying his house or kicking and screaming. It was almost as if he thought "no one else is going to discipling this child, so I will".
Yesterday they were at DD's v-ball game, DS started to wiggle from DH's arms and BIL says " Rylan..settle down" Im soon going to tell him to bend over so I could pull the stick out of his A$$! Who is he to tell MY child to settle down when he is in his fathers arms?! Not only that, DH said that he was amazingly good all day.DH went to say something to him but someone else started talking so he just let it go.
DH said that he is going to have to have talk to him. Also, the other night he went into the garage where DH was deep frying wings, one of the dogs sniffed him and he said " Charlie, F*** off" in a not so nice tone.
The sad thing is when it comes to blows, I am going to basically tell him that he can discipline his own kids, but the way I discipline mine is none of his business. If he wanted to discipline kids, then he should have had more. If he doesn't like it, do yourself and us a favor and don't invite us to your house anymore. Everyone will be happy. He is the kind of guy who can't keep his mouth shut! Obviously since this happened the other day, he thinks he as full rein to discipline my child, so there isn't a doubt in my mind that it will happen again.
Like DH said, he is the first to critize everyone in his family..from his mother to his father to his siblings but yet, no one as confronted him to tell him what a jerk he is being and its about time.

Feels good to vent....prehaps I should vent to the people who tick me off on a regular basis????

Morning girls !

Lori - ya got me cuz for some strange reason I was thinking the time change happens tonight? Perhaps because I am off work tomorrow? I woke at the usual time and stayed in bed for a bit. But now I guess I better get a move on.

We are actually driving just under 2 hours to go visit with DS & fam today. I always enjoy it since my GS is now about 19 mos and starting to speak more and do cute little things. Guess he is getting a little temper and, as Grandma, do tell him not to scream at me when he doesn't get his way. BUT, his parents do the same so I guess I'm OK.

Sorry to hear about the tribulations with BIL and your DS. Totally agreed that he stepped out of place and you would think he would understand 2 yr olds if his DS is 4 ! As far as venting to those that aggravate you, sometimes it may be better to come here and not rock the boat. When you have family or close friends you have to evaluate the relationship and decide if coming to "blows" over some things is worth it. I would hope that if you and/or DH ask BIL to refrain from disciplining your son that he would respect it and that if he has particular "rules" in his home that he would express those to you so you can make the decision as to whether or not you accept an invitation.

I always feel better about situations if I vent to those other than someone involved. It helps me figure out the importance of the issue in the larger scheme of life. But then again, sometimes it is those that are causing the angst that you don't need in your life. I try to step away carefully so as not to burn bridges.

OK - off the soap box - hope your day goes well and great job getting your workout done! I just kept cleaning and never did do my legs ! Think I will double up tomorrow since I'm off and will do legs today, cardio tomorrow AM and weights tomorrow PM. Can't believe Diana and I are on our 4th week of STS. I can see some nice results in added muscle both UB and LB - even through the extra fluff I built up the last 2 months ! Just imagine if I can trim some of that off !

Probably gone for the day since have to get going - will be back more than usual on a Monday though !

Good Morning,

It looks like my previous post is gone. I posted earlier and have been perusing the forums for over an hour. I came back here and my post is gone!

Anyway, DH left to visit a friend that lives 45 min away. The kids are still in bed so I've been enjoying a nice quiet morning by myself. I just finished eating a light whole wheat english muffin with almond butter and jelly. It was delicious.

My face is looking a little better but it still looks like I have a black eye. She said I could wear makeup after 24 hours but I think that would make it look worse. Hopefully it looks a lot better by tomorrow since I have to go to work.

No workout to report for yesterday. I did preview one of the plyo legs discs and a squat rack disc last night. I definitely have a weighted vest on my list. I keep checking this site to order one from since I have 10% discount, but they are never in stock. I may use my discouny on the slanted risers instead.

I'm not sure what w/o I will do today but it needs to have cardio and leg weights. Other than my nieces 13th bday party tonight we don't have anything planned. That gives me plenty of time to get something done today.

Lori-thanks for the time change reminder, I totally forgot about that. I guess I don't have as much time as I thought. I would definitely say something to BIL. It's one thing if they are babysitting for you. If you or DH are right there then it is your responsibility to discipline your own child and he should mind his own business. Kids cry for many reasons or often times for no reason at all.

Jacque-Hope you have a great day with your son and his family. Hope you get caught up with your w/o's.
