okay, so DH has rebounded out of bummer husband status. Goodness. So I got home from a super hard run, and he was waiting at the door with a gatorade and had already made me an ice bath, emptied, the dishwasher adn done a craft with JImmy. He took me out for a huge salad at the taco place and two yummy beers! John has onion and garlic breath becasue he ate teh whoel bowl of guacamole. I am so sore. I think AF might be coming. I flipped out on DH making him kind of hate me last night, hence my mornign comment. I get so frustrated that I coem home from a three hour run and the house always looks like a tornado came through it and the kids are not fed, etc. So it was nice to come home and the house was perfect adn teh kids were fed and john was even napping in a diaper that was clean!
So Lisa, we might be married to the same man. DH has gotten me flowers on maybe three occasions, and one of them was the day jimmy had diarrhea in the bathtub and the same day I had to climb into a trash can because there were maggots in tehre and I had to disinfect it. SO I totally get it.
Jen, I will be there at 6!!!!!!!!!!!! Have agreat time with mom tonight. Are you excited about your first mothers day?
Mel, miss you as always. Will get back to you on FB. Glad Ellen is making you laugh. I think you wil LOVE the jimmian micahels. I am having trouble transferring that one, but thiunk I know what to do...
okay, BBL with more personals, john si freaking losing it.

it's slow at work...so I'm taking a little break and catching up.
Loreen~ you are shaped like so many of us here. Many of us have 135lb goal & are about your height (except shortie Susan)....you are in good company! We would have a hay-day in each other's closets!!!
Jen~ have you noticed any fluctuations in your weight since you've ventured more into strength training? Is your middle firming up?
Susan~love your picture. You look so cute! Did you order those bowflex weights yet? I can't tell you how many times they've been in my cybercart only to backout at last minute....thinking of all the other things I *should* spend my money on. I'm glad you are feeling better! So sweet of you to write encouragement on my fb wall!
Lisa & Christine~we are not mushy at our house. I got flowers just a handful of times in the 18+ years we've been married. To his defense, I'm not much of a flower-gal. I'm no-nonsense....I'd be happier with a piece of fitness equipment. We used to plant flowers OUTSIDE on Mother's DAy & that was fun but it's been way to cold last several years. It just snowed here yesterday.
Well, I can't talk about sex yet. But I can talk about poop if you'd like. Mine has been very fluffy & I go all the time. I have a history of having IBS type pooping patterns. So now, I am fluffy & abundant. LOL I wonder if that's contributing to my weight loss? My girls rarely poop which makes cloth diapers a breeze. I'm looking at starting solids (rice cereal) this upcoming week! Wish us luck!
Christine~I got my first pair of running socks. Do you have a brand you like alot? I'm thinking about getting a couple of pairs to help prevent blistering that occurs around mile 9 for me....
Allison~ Yes, I am back;thank you! I feel so much better now (see poop alert above).
Alrighty, I'm off to work on inventory here at work. Hope everyone has a great Mother's Day!

Hey ladies! Just thought I'd check in while waiting on mom to get here.
Susan- LOL! The picture is so adorable! Look at you posing! I'm glad you feel better. You are such a trooper to keep on packing.
Christine- I'm trying to not get my hopes up for Mother's Day because I don't want to be disappointed by DH. Does that sound awful? He was such a turd the other night that I am afraid that man will reappear.
Christine and Melanie- I don't get flowers either. DH won my heart when he showed up at my apartment when we were dating with a six pack of beer and a single rose. When he would work nights he would pick up some flowers from Walmart (only thing open) just because. But that was only a few times.
Mel- I agree with the fitness equipment as a gift. One of my bdays is when I got my weight set. His guy friends are amazed when he tells them that he bought me weights as a gift and I wasnt offended. Heck no! I WANT them.
Belly is not firmed up yet. The abs are stronger but I need to get rid of the pouch!
Lorren- You seemed to shaped like the rest of us. I agree with Mel, how much fun we would have raiding each others closets!
Happy Mother's Day mommies! Each and every one of you are so very special!

Mel- Thorlo makes the best socks for sure. I love them. TO prevent blisters, slather them in vaseline before you head out and you should be blister free. I swear by it and it helps a ton. Keep toenails short, and make sure that your shoes fit well. I like to run in a smaller shoe, so my feel are destroyed. I have feet like Shrek.

Mel- Here are the sites where I get a lot of my running clothes. I like to pay a bit more and have somethign that lasts forever, but it is hard to do somethimes, especially when DH gets the bill... ANyhow, fun to cyber window shop...
lululemon.com
zappos.com
athleta.com
titlenine.com

Christine~Vasoline on my feet? I'm cringing just thinking of the feeling on my feet! LOL Not sure if I can try that? I'm such a wimp! I love Title9 catalog but have never ordered from there. Athletica....is that Gap affiliate? I didn't know zappos sold workout attire. I've been thinking about getting a running skirt too! How fun would that be?
Jen~ my belly has shrunk....but it's still mushy & I have this small flap thing that hangs over my Csection incision. That sounds gross...but it's still swollen. It'll go down & so will yours. Clean eating!!!
Speaking of which....how is everyone's diet? I just ordered The Flexiterrian Diet book....anyone hear of it?

Christine-I made the asian turkey burgers and the edamame/corn thingie. DH and Haely did not like the burgers...I gave them a long lecture about how Jimmy loved them and Californians must have more sophisticated taste buds!! Dh did like the edamame/corn though. Did you do anything in particular to get Jimmy to eat like he does?? Im determined that Kara will eat what I cook/eat. Haley has gotten much better (she did eat the burger) but for years she lived off kid food.
Kara i fussy wanting to nurse..bb. getting a sinus headach..need meds..be back!

There's a kinship in this group -- we're not much for flowers here either! I used to get them more frequently (like a few times a year), but now? Not so much. I get workout clothes though -- and books -- and a weight vest!
Vaseline? On the feet? Oh, yuck!
Melanie, I've never tried Vaseline on my feet, but I swear by Body Glide. I did the Breast Cancer 3-Day twice, walking 40 miles a week for months to train, and 60 miles the weekend of the event. I put Body Glide on my feet before each walk and NEVER got a blister, even when walking 15 miles in the rain!
DH came home last night. Finally!! We had a fun night *wink*
And of course, Drew slept like a champ last night. We had to WAKE HIM UP at (are you ready for this?) 9:55 this morning. Stinker.

Allison and melanie- huge fan of body glide too. It works perfectly, I just wipe vaseline between my toes to save someoney! You really do not feel it. I like the thorlo dry wick running socks , similar to what Susan pored. I get them from zappos. Mel- athleta is indeed owned by gap now. I like their stuff but the sizes vary a bit. I saw a cute running dress I want to get.
Susan- so sad the burgers were not a hit. Did you at least like them? As for food with Jimmy and John, we always have fed them what we eat no separate meals unless dh is out of town. I use a hand food purée guy. John had garlic hummus, guacamole, sausage pizza and carrots today. I always have operated on the offer philosophy. Never pushed foods on them they ate them when ready. I got super into lentils because of you recently and Jimmy begged to try a bite and they were a hit!!! What do dh and Haley like? I can get you more appropriate recipes!

Big week coming up! My friend is coming Tuesday (for six days), inlaws are coming Friday (for five days), pediatric appt Wed (two hrs away), vet appt Thurs/dishwasher repair, work Tue & Thurs, Prom & fishing opener on Saturday.

Christine~ That sounds like fun! I'm "training" for that 10M...but I'm all for crosstraining a bit. I'm willing to do weight work if it doesn't make me too sore for my runs.
