Morning ladies! Just thought I would get us started. J did great last night! Went down around 1045a, only woke up once cause the blanket was on his face :( and went back to sleep until about 615a. We are up for the day and I hope to get a w/o in as soon as he goes down for his long AM nap.

Anyone else's back hurt? Mine has been killing me the last few days and I have determined that it is J's fault because he is getting big. I'm hoping that a few good w/o's and stretches will help. I've been icing it and taking Tylenol to take the edge off.

What are your plans for today ladies??? Off to finish coffee and then hang out with James until he gets sleepy.
 
Morning!
Jen-thanks for getting us started! Yes, my back hurts! K is packing on the pounds and I am feeling it! Hope you are not feeling blah today! Have a good workout!
K went down at 8..got up at 2..then 5...I thought she was up then but its 630 and shes still snoozing. I do like that she goes to bed early..I have been enjoying my evening! Haley spent the night with another friend last night so dh has gotten some major attention this weekend! She is gonna be sooo tired today! I think we are headed to Little Rock to shop.
Not sure I will workout today...will have to see when we do what.

Melanie-how was your day yesterday??? How long will you be gone to your dads??

Waves to everyone bbl
 
Ick. I got only 5 hours of sleep again last night....two nights in a row......sandwiched around a 13.5 hour workday. I'm feeling sluggish today.

My DS1 has gotten himself into some trouble with his many sleepovers. One of the Dads came over to talk with DH while I was at work. We are having a bit of a crisis over here with that.

Not good timing, especially with my Dad being so sick. :(

I'm prepared to hang on tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride this week.

7 mile run is on schedule today. I'm going to need a long run to clear my head.

BBL
 
Melanie-sorry for the little sleep..try and make yourself get a catnap today! Also sorry for the trouble and ds1...teenagers..gotta love em!
Do you leave tomorrow for your dads??
 
Yup, we leave for Dads when I"m done with work. I hope I can find some super strength for this week to come. I have to work a full day Monday, then the long drive Monday night, visit Tue & Wed, then the long drive Thurs back home...then to finish the week off with a full workday on Friday.

Superstrength needed, starting today when I have to contact 10 sets of parents and tell them what their kids have been up to at my house the last couple of months. :( Ick
 
Melanie- Sorry for the trouble going on w DS1. Contacting other parents is never fun but I'm sure they will appreciate it. Sending you my strength this week to get thru.

Susan-J goes down late and sleeps late which is total opposite from Kara. :) I really can't complain though cause he usually sleeps long stretches.
 
My super dooper daughter signed up for a facebook account last night at 1:20 at a slumber party!! I have since cancelled it! She knows this is NOT ok with me at all!!!! She has lost her computer and phone for a week! She is such a great kid..and Im gonna keep her that way! What in the world does a 10 year old need with facebook?? NOTHING!
Jen are you a night person? I think our babes tend to take on our way of living. We are early to bed early to rise people.
Melanie-Im sending you some super vibes for your week!!!!
 
I am certain that the moon is affecting us all! We are all in the dumps this weekend. Poo.
I finally got a good night of sleep. The kids are getting better and hubby is starting to smile and help out again. He watched John for an hour yesterday so that I coudl rest. And he did some fixing around the house. I think he is going nuts being stuck in the house with kids and the food network. He is ready to converse with tall people.
John has SCREAMED for days, from feeling sick. Last night he slept great, got up at 2 and 6 to eat. Went down for a nap and is snoozing. It is raining, so we are having eggs and bacon and toast and lounging before heading to trader joe's for groceries. I am making Thai crunch roll ups today. mmmm. It is a recipe from CPK. So, last night, no crying from the kids, but i DREAMT they were crying. I finally got up and had some of my hubbys cough medicine with codeine. I know I know, never share. But it shut off the cryign in my head and I slept awesome. He is still asleep upstairs.
Not sure what I will do to workout today. I am thinking somethign from the Terminator DVD, Viper maybe? That way I can smash cardio and weights into one workout.
Do any of you watch modern family? I downloaded it to my ipod and love it. It is a stinking riot.
Melanie- YOu have to rest in the car if the girls sleep. You are burnign the candle at both ends. I am excited to hear about hte trip but worry about so much driving and exhaustion for you.
Susan- I am surprised that Haley would do that. Sounds like there was peer pressure invilved. Haley is a star! Here come the teens! Tweens?
Jen- Hope you are loving your hair and that James is a sweetheart for you today.
Allison- Miss you and hope that you are having a great weekend!
Priscilla- Hope that you are doign great!
Off to clean up the dishes and get the kids dressed so that we can go to the store while hubby sleeps.
Susan- your dh can never talk to my dh, my dh has been convinced by me that NOBODY wants sex after baby! Girl, I need some of that estrogen! I think about making out and kind of throw up in my mouth a little bit. I know that is awful, I just do not want to be touched after holding children all day. Guess I will have to take one for the team today. Maybe a beer will help.;)
 
okay, did body max 2, it sometimes I love it and sometimes it is torture. It used to be my favorite workout. Now it seems long and torturious. I think I have gotten so used to intervals, that the long slow cardio is not as satisfying. I cheered up a bit during the leg caridio blasts. My hubby is grouchy today so we are dodging each other. I am finally doing all my scrapbooks and he is fixing the squeaky doors. I guess he might need nooky. I will take it for the team so that the house can cheer up.
 
Hi Ladies!
Didnt make it to LR...storming and didnt want to deal with it. Dh finished taxes adn I have been puttering around the house..no workout. I pick up Haley and dont mention the facebook issue. We were home about 20 min and she calls me in her room.."umm mom..can I have a facebook account?" I said..ummm no, and the one you got last night has been deactivated! She really is such a great kid...she tells me everything..so far. Gotta keep her good!
Christine-great job on your workout! Nothing worse than a grouchy hubby! My dh got a kick out of what you said about sex aft er baby. I also proved to him that I am NOT the only women who sometimes thinks of what to cook for dinner during sex! Go ahead..throw one for your dh...will make his day!

Waves to everyone!
 
My husband is so happy. I also came up with a great recipe during the "event" so it is a win win situation for the whole family. He thinks that he died and went to heaven. I could ask him to wax the floors for me and he would do it with a smail right now. Tee hee.
Susan- Haley is so great. We also have an honesty policy in our house. As long as you tell the truth, we will not flip out. NOt telling the truth results in consequences. It is hard to not get mad, but it is wonderful to watch kids trust your loyalty and know that they can come to you.
I am glad that i did the workout, but wish I had done Step Pump and Jump or a terminator instead. I love the workouts that are mash ups of more than one, they go by faster. I might try Supersets or Push Pull this week. I am getting really into the heavier weights. I am much happier with the results as well. Now if I actually did the abs sections, I would feel great naked. Maybe then my hubby would get more action. :eek:
 
My DH decided that going fishing was more important than his family today. :mad: In the midst of our crisis, and despite my plead for him to stay home....he left. :(

So I"m all alone to cook, pack, and talk to these parents. It really makes me sad that he would make this choice. Unfortunately, he's an adult and I can't make the right decision for him. Urgh. Which is harder? Parenthood or Wifehood? Urgh
 
Melanie- I am so sorry, wish that I coudl help. I really do not know how you do it, and without sugar and mountain dew? Whatever your son did, I hope he is so sorry. You are not leaving him home while you take the trip are you? Sending you HUGE hugs and hope that your husband gets bit by a fish.
 
Sigh. My DH is on a bender about clutter in the house. Again. We have a 4 year old and a baby. We have no family room, no play room, no garage, and no attic. We also have no coat closet; heck -- our kitchen doesn't even have a pantry! Of course we have clutter -- we have NO storage in our 5 bedroom house. Houses built in 1890 have NO storage. Period. The 3 stepkids are here this weekend, so we have all their stuff laying around too. With the Exercauser, the swing, the Jumperoo, Ella's kitchen, the high chair, etc. -- there's a lot of stuff. Whatever.

Christine, glad you're all feeling better. How were the Thai rolls? They sound good! I find lately that my attention span will not allow me to do a long cardio workout; well, Drew does not permit it either LOL

Susan, ahhh, Haley's hitting the tweens hard, eh? Did she tell you about the Facebook page, or did you find it on your own?

Melanie, I'm sorry DS1 is doing something you're not too thrilled about. I hope the crisis passes quickly, without much damage. I would have been very annoyed with DH for going fishing.

Jen, hope you're enjoying your new 'do!
 
Allison- I hear you on clutter, we had to sell or throw out everythign when we moved and it was a small blessing in disguise. WHen my hubby would go to work I threw out all his stuff. Still has not noticed.
Got to finish the thai rolls. they are going to be AWESOME. I will hav eto post recipe.
 
allison, i will send you the recipe, i can copy it on our printer nad pop it in the mail. it was INSANELY good. My hubby said it was the best day ever. He got action and a new dinner. Little did he know that the two are not mutually exclusive! I am glad he is so happy. we are having frozen yogurt with chocolate sauce and creme de menthe. So good! off to clean every one up adn get all the humidifiers set up. sounds like a bronchitis factory in here with every one coughing. I cringe when i hear this place cough.
 
Evening ladies
Christine-glad you made your dh's day. I always say a well sexed man makes for a happy home! Care to share your new recipe??? We have a honesty policy too. Haley knows she will get in more trouble for lying. So far she has been an outstanding honest person...Im so proud of her. I think peer pressure is setting in..BUT she must learn to act for herself. She is a follower....and we are working with her on that.

Anyway..I started this post 2 hours ago..Kara has gotten up 4 times to burp/puke..hopefully she is down for a few hours now. Dh is in bed..Haley just woke up and it getting in bed with him..Im going to bed in Karas room..any way I can sleep I will take it!

Melanie-Im so sorry your dh left you today! Hopeuflly your ds has learned his lesson! Hope you day goes well tomorow and your trip is safe! Please check in when you can and keep us up to date on the happenings!

Allison-Since we got a new computer we let Haley use the old one...it is still in the office right here by ours so I can monitor. Dh was on this one so I checked my email on hers. I just happen to notice she had an email from facebook.Moms always find out uh!

I popped and advil and Im headed to bed! nite nite
 
Morning ladies! James slept 8 hrs last night! Woo hoo! I gave him an extra 2 oz before he went to bed the last two nights and that seemed to hold him over. Hopefully we can continue this pattern.

I did B&G premix yesterday and then tacked on Jackie Warner's leg w/o and then the abs. Her leg w/o was blaise but Boy do I love me some abs! :D My plan is to do upper body tonight. I am really trying hard to fit in something after work. I was so blah this weekend about my body and I ALWAYS feel so much better when I w/o! :D

Christine- Glad your DH is happy. :D They are usually more helpful and appreciative when they get some action. Hope everyone is feeling better today!

Susan- I agree that somehow Mom's (and wives) ;) always know or find out. That is great that you have an honestly policy. These little tips I am storing away for when J is older.

Melanie- Hope you have a safe trip! Try to get some rest in the car if you can!

Allison- I get that way with clutter sometimes. Especially after a busy stressful day at work I wish I could come home to a clean house. Sigh.... Those days are gone. It's funny that its your DH feeling that way and not you. :)
