Good morning:)I am eating a bowl of ice cream and eating a banana as I type this. I have had another round of leg cramps last night, BUT I think I figured out part of the problem. I am wearing soccer cleats(well turfs)and I never wear them, andthey are very flat, not supported like Nikes or something. I think thats why I am getting the horrible cramps in the front of my shins. I am eating ice cream and banans just in case I need calcium and potassium too (and choclate and peanut butter cups, which are included!:p)
Not much going on today, trying to get the house in order for another busy week. I thought I would make some casseroles to freeze as Its harder and harder to get dinner anymore with all of kids stuff going on. DD loves to cook so she can help. She is still riding high on her 2 goals yesterday. They play on a co ed under 8 team, and after she scored the 2 goals the boys were mad on both teams. On the other because they got scored on by a girl and our team because our boys thought they should have scored first. My dd response, "you should kick harder if you want to score so bad" to the boys. Oh the drama!
I am trying the zucchini bread recipe today, I have a ton of zucchini to use, and basil, maybe I will make pesto too. I think I am nesting!
HI Kate, Candra, Jessica, Jen, Jenm, Stephanie, Susan, Melanie and everyone else to follow today!
 
Goodmorning Mikkia. Sounds like breakfast of the champions there. :p I'm trying not to laugh thinking of a pg lady with cleats on running around a soccer field. :cool: That's really cool.

Yesterday I did Amy Bento's Boot Camp. Not a big fan. Then again I didn't like Cathe's Boot Camp either. I"m not a big fan of getting my HR up for a couple minutes, then weight work for 10 minutes, then repeating. I like circuit training a little bit better---all out cardio is my favorite. I also have Step Until you drop 2 from netflix to try. I like to do interval training on Sundays---so we'll see.

Wednesday is Justin's first day of pre-school. I"m pretty sad about it *sigh*. Since he's NEVER been away from us---we're easing him (and us) into just AM for a month, then AMs for 2 days per week, then gradually to 2 full days per week. He's a really smart boy, and he'll enjoy playing with the other kids.

Today we get to listen to missionary from India & then have a potluck after. Workout, then hanging out with the kids. Maybe open swim later. That's it. Nice day with family.

Hope everyone has a great day. I'll be back to check on ya'll. :D :D
 
Morning!
Not much going on here today DH is off hunting and will be home around lunch. I am making a batch of my protein panckaes and asiam 3 bean salal and pea soup for the week.
I am VERY crampy today. I feel as if af will come today and its not due for 8 days...sigh.
I must say Im bummed out today!
Mikkia-that is my kind of breakfast girl!! My fav peanut butter cup ice cream is Krogers Private Selection Peanut BUtter Passion YUM!
HI Melanie! and everyone to follow. Im just
 
Susan, sorry about the cramping. Are your cycles really consistent? Are you charting/temping/mucous checking? Do you remember your first periods after m/c? Was it really long? I couldn't believe it today when I say pink AGAIN. It's mucousy-like too. It's been 11 days, normally they are about 4 days for me.
Okay. Enough questions for Susan. I didn't mean to bombard you. If you don't feel comfortable answering, you can e-mail me: [email protected] or PM. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. :eek:
 
MMM What a great breakfast mikki lol :)
good job with DD scoring two goals at soccer. what a great response from her :)

good luck with sending your little one to school this wednesday, i am sure he will do just great. i dont have kids yet but it seems like the parents get more nervous and worked up than the children. I am sure everyone involved will be just fine

susan sorry about your cramping, i hope you feel better

my dh got up at 7am to go to miami and i just got up now 10am! THe alarm had been going off for an hour but i couldnt stop hitting snooze.

i must workout now, not sure what to do just yet but i need a butt kicker since i pigged out all day yesterday....then i have to decorate my dad's cake...and do stuff around the house.

my dog is crying becuase i left her alone on the bed, better get to her she's so needy

have a good morning all!
 
phew..it sure is HOT out here today in Florida. I just took the dogs out and the three of us did not last long at all!

i did IMAX the orginal today (i always forget how much of a butt kicker that is - but i needed it!) and Jari Love's Get Slim and Lean, which is a full body weight workout.

I just gave my little dog a bath because she smells lately and i cant get rid of it even with frequent baths. Any tips from dog owners?

I also vacummed the whole house. i made some eggs just now which im scarfing down and then i have to decorate that cake! hopefully it wont take too long because i still have to peel and devein the shrimp for my dads dinner tonite along with a few other things in the kitchen.

so..im a busy bee. be back later hope you are all enjoying your Sunday!
 
Just popping in quickly to say hi. Henry has a mystery fever. Has been around 100-101.5 all day. No other symptoms. So DH and I are missing our concert tonight, but he's well worth it. I'm just worried about the little guy. He does this from time to time, just runs mystery fevers and feels bad. DH will have to take him to the doc tomorrow.

Anyway, hope everyone is having a good weekend!! I'll be back tomorrow for personals...
 
Stephanie-sorry about your concert tonight and I hope ds feels better soon.
JenM-Hope the cake turns out good! We must be doing the same today, I took the kids to the pool but it was so blasted hot we only lasted an hour and half. Then we came home and made rice krispie treats, chicken enchilads to freeze and a pasta casserole to freeze. Now we are on to zucchini bread. I thinking I am nesting for sure. Well, at least everyone will be eating well.
 
Hello ladies! I did get to read everything but I am so tired and *pregnant* that I just need to say hello and sign off. I'll be back in the AM. Have a nice Sunday evening with your families!
 
Hi, from another tired and pregnant lady here:(. The yard sale was pretty much rained out, but we made $50 (that's $50 we didn't have). It is just such an eye opener to see that things I had a hard time putting out for sale didn't even go, or went for so little. I refuse to take any of it back into the house, though. So, if anyone offered, I took it. It really makes you think about all the $$$ you spend on things!

Today, I went to a friend's for a garden party. Instead of a cookie exchange, we exchanged perennials. It was neat, and I took home three really nice plants. It was fun! Later today, I could hardly walk...RL pain took over in my right side:mad:. I was actually bent over the table whimpering like a puppy. I have to give up exercise now, it's just scary that this pain and pressure comes out of nowhere and I have such a hard time walking. I was like this much, much earlier with my first son though. If anything, I will do some light stretches. I have to look on netflix and see what is on instant watch for preggos. I'll get right back into exercise after baby (as soon as I can), but it's just not enjoyable at all for me right now b/c of all the pain and pressure:(. Can you tell I feel SO guilty about it?

Did I tell you about the handpainted wall letters I ordered online? I wanted something like the ones pottery barn kids sells, but they were so plain, so I put a search in for wall letters. I found this great site, and this woman handpaints them. Let me know if you want the site. They are about the same price at P.B. letters too. I ordered them for the baby's room.

Kate-Hope you have more energy tomorrow. These last few weeks are always rough. I can't stand the fact that I will not get a nap for the next 5 days:confused:.

Stephanie-My niece gets those mystery fevers too. We don't know why. Hopefully, he feels better now.

Melanie-I am sure your son will be just fine. I always get way worked up about Andy starting daycare in the fall, and he always loves it and doesn't put up any fuss.

Jen M-How did the party go?

Susan-Nice to "hear" from you.

I am off to pack my lunch and hit the hay!

-Jen
 
Hi Jen!
Sorry about the rl pains, just hang in there. if you cant workout, dont worry about it oo much. you will get back on track. its important to listen to your body

sounds like you had a fun time at the flower exchange. sorry you didnt make more at your yard sale. i've been trying to sell things on craigslist.org but its not as popular here as it was in DC (i sold things so easily thru that sight in dc!)

it wasnt really a party. dad came over to join me and my husband for dinner. which happens often. we are celebrating his bday a few days early. i made shrimp scampi with white rice and crab stuffed musthrooms. they turned out good.

we just now finished bday cake and coffee - it was delicious :) I posted a link to the picture on the first page.

I hopey ou all have a great nite, i'll be going to bed around 10-11pm. Im beat, ive had a very busy day today...
