Hi girls, my right arm is just throbbing now. I think my sitting at the computer at work all the hours I'm there does it. Plus my selection of workouts involves weights, though today I only held. At PT, I basically got the same treatment as the other day, with the original therapist. (I still don't like her that much.) They push you just past your pain point. She said my upper back is very knotty and kneaded it. I love the 'massaging' I get. Today I got heat on the upper back section; I love heat. No icing. I iced it myself tonight.
I ordered that pulley, which is so inexpensive, but the shipping was $7!
Hi Colleen! How's your house selling and building going?
I hope dd's issue is only acid reflux. Fingers crossed.
My CA niece, who's 8, has the same theatrics that you gals describe. Recently, on a sleepover, she woke up her friend and took her downstairs in the middle of the night to look through my sister's pantry for candy! She is so bold and defiant, deliberately disobeying. (Love her to bits.) Her behavior doesn't make sense either. My sis enlisted the school psychiatrist but she was no help. I thought her behavior was due to my sister's overly-strict and my niece's over-scheduled daily life (my sis and bil are wicked tiger parents). My dh sees something in her personality.
I've seen my bro's daughter (the twin) stare down her mother in defiance when she was a couple of years old! The audacity.
Missy, I hope you feel better. How does it spontaneously rupture?
Marie, LOVE his lashes! So sweet! Is he a lefty? From his hand position it looks like a he's south paw. Is that how you say it?
I am utterly, utterly exhausted! And it's only Wednesday.

We do the same. It's useless to talk to her when she's in her mood. We just walk away and hope that she will calm herself down. This mornings battle was about shorts. She Went crazy because we didn't want her too because it was only 38 out out this am. We decided it wasn't a battle to pick since we were dropping her off at at achool this morning. Despite her behavior she pulled straight A's this quarter! Very proud of her!!!! We think with our dd it's anxiety that sets her off.
One of the reasons we are moving is to be deep in a bigger development where dd (and ds) has more friend and can easily have access to friends. She can become a hermit and we desperately want her to become more social. Dh and I are not not and we too need need to become more social as well. It's good good for the kids and us too.

I understand the age gap. Mine are almost 4 years apart. When they do play is usually dd bossing ds around. We struggle all the time with DD looking like a hobo. All she wants to wear in sweatpants. We just let her and last week she said she doesn't like wearing them now as she looks sloppy (our plan woreked). I took her out on Sunday to go clothes shopping. We had a great time and she picked out some very cute things. She was so excited on Monday. When she got home she was so upset because her friends said who dressed you, your Mom? Girls can be so mean.

Hi friends,
It's a beautiful day with plenty of sunshine and high 50s. Finally an afternoon with no outside obligations!
I've been wearing my belted flared gray trench the past couple of weeks and boy is it maddening to put on! I cannot tell you how frustrating it is! Anything I put on always bunches up near the top of the left shoulder, where I cannot reach. Sometimes I'm literally stuck midway, cannot move one way or another, and feel like I'm in a straitjacket! I can barely put on anything that has no stretch or give, and I have to put on left side first. Regardless, it takes so much time!!! We take so much for granted when our bodies work perfectly. Dh says I'm his old lady.
Speaking of dh, today is our 25th! We will do a movie and dinner on Saturday.
Colleen, girls can be so mean and spiteful! I wonder if it's when they're jealous. Girls grow up to be the extreme opposite so I dislike that they do that when they're 'maturing'.
Carolyn, it has been THE longest week ever!
It's really scary that nursing mis-dosed your mom twice, Jean! How does that happen??
I hope you're feeling much better! What a stinker to happen to you!
I wouldn't exercise with people so close to the windows either!

Carolyn...that's too funny...but sometimes Tim will be like...oh another new outfit....oh no.... this isn't too new...hehehehe... deep down he doesn't care...he just likes to pick on me!!!
Btw.... next month....Tim and I will be together 14 yrs! OMG.... What to do for our anniversary???? Prob, go fishing at the coast or something.... That would be so much fun for the both of us! Its just such a long drive....as we would have to come home same day..... due to the farm! LOL

Carolyn, I got your vibes today! I randomly thought of Boot Camp this morning! No surprise from dh. But he did say to pick something out myself (what's the fun in that) if I want. Which is very different than saying, "honey, go pick something out for our 25th. anything."
I hope dh feels better. Stress.
Missy, sorry about your baby (elliptical). I know how much you loved it. And got such good use out of it. I can see how one's knee can get wonky using them though.
I hope you feel better.
Big-time TGIF.
Catching up on all my crap (well, more like trying to make a dent), then need to make dinner.

Betty.... So what are you going to get??? I like surprises as everyone does....but sometimes....it also nice to go shopping and the men not complain about it.... So take advantage and get yourself something really nice.... BTW...its your gift..... get what you want!
As for making it through the week...I knew you would! Cause your awesome!!!! Now you can rest this weekend....hopefully!
Im still at office..... got another hour or so to go!
Carolyn....hope your honey feels better.... but glad you were able to spend some time together....Barn sales sound fun!
Tonight, we are having homemade pizza...yummy!!!! With black olives, tomato's, and pepperoni! Tims favorite!!!!! He has had a very stressful week...and is working lots of hours....so a nice relaxing evening will be great for him! He has been pulling 13 hr days.... and working 6 days a week for 2 weeks.... he is exhausted..... he has been coming home...and trying to stay awake and watch tv with me.... and he normally falls asleep....that is not like him.... so I am praying he does not have to work tomorrow...he is run down and I don't want him to get sick!
BTW.... I think im feeling a little better this afternoon.......but my period is coming mid next week...so I will feel crappy again real soon.......but then I will be going back on the pill....I will just have to work my ass off in my gym.... The pills really did healp all my problems.... They made me have no pain with intercourse, no pelvic pain, minimal menstral cramps, and cut my period in half, and took away the black spotting that I was having....which came back last month.... so Dr says my ovaries do best when they are shut down....LOL, so gonna give it another shot! Must watch every calorie!!!!! But....Im still not getting on scale....it is the monster...and makes me very ill! LOL
Be back...gotta run....

Missy, so jealous of your veggie garden! I love the farm-to-table concept. So healthy and green.
You and Tim need a good night's rest to ease your feet off the gas pedal of this week!
Try a different brand of bcp. And there is no way around the weight gain side effect but at least you are very proactive so I wouldn't worry.
I don't know what I will get. I think I'll wait till my MA sis gets something, if she does. Her 25th is this July.
It doesn't take much of a leap to please me but alas....
Carolyn, I used to LOVE it when baseball was cancelled due to rain! Enjoy your newfound couple of hrs!!!
I, too, will look at Sierra. I see some Lands End stuff?? REI's sale and clearance site is no fun any more.
Jean, you're funny. If dh had a secretary, he would be some sort of exec. He is not.

Hello Everyone!
I did GS Ch&Tris this morning. I think after this week it is time to move on from Gym styles.
What a beautiful day! I had to be up early to get dds to volleyball and softball, and dd has a track meet this afternoon so I will be there. It will be good to be outside and enjoying the sunshine. We have a volleyball tournament tomorrow so there is my weekend!
Betty, Happy Anniversary! I hope you enjoy your celebration! You reminded me that my anniversary is this week, we are usually away over spring vacation but we are not going anywhere this year.
Carolyn, I would have been happy that baseball was cancelled too, it is like getting time back. Hope DH is feeling better.
Missy, your garden looks great. Our trees are still bare! And I hope you are feeling better, it sounds like a miserable thing to go through. It is bad enough having regular cramps and bloating.
Enjoy your day!
