Hello everyone. I had to leave for a little bit but now My fiance and I are back together and I am posting all of our info here to keep track because we are taking on the insanity challenge and are pushing and competing with eachother just for fun and additioinal motivation and support.0

well my life just got 1 million times worse. We haven't heard anything from hubs' work but we just found out that unemployment has run out!! I start full time school in the fall and not really sure how a full time job is going to feel about me going to school during the day. I need to find something at night. or see if I can take the days that my classes are on off.
keep your fingers crossed for us.
Sam, any fingers that aren't already crossed for us, will indeed be crossed for you.
We're in similar straits-- hubs just ran through the 3rd unemployment run-- not sure they'll be extending it any further.
We're dead.
I was just told that congress hasn't passed any more laws for unemployment and that when they do everyone who is out of unemployment will be contacted by mail.
I will keep my fingers crossed for you too.0 -
Marla- enjoy the once in a lifetime event you experienced.
Donna- so great to see a pic of you. Great job on the race!
Sam- sorry about the unemployment, I'll be thinking about you
I'm done. Paint brush in my hand for 4 hours. Wasn't sure I could let go. Permanent claw hand. There will be a few odds and ends pieces that still need stained, but in comparision to the whole deck, it'll be a piece of cake. I came in from outside, was starvign and before I realized what I was doing I inhaled 2 donuts. Ummm, yum? Seriously, I'm blaming the stain fumes. Brain damage or something. I intended to eat lunch. I guess I did.......
Took a shower, feel all squeaky clean in the middle of the day. It's awesome. Have on 'real clothes' too. It's exciting! As soon as my youngest hits the house, I'm dragging him back out. Strawberry patch... here we come. Oh, they sell the BEST homemade strawberry ice cream there. I think the stain fumes will still be affecting me then. :noway:

well if you have seen my FB page in the last 1/2 hour you know that hubs lost his job. I hope they don't fight his unemployment!!!! if they do were are up a creek!! I can try to find a job but then have to tell them I need certain days off for school. That might have to be what I do but as luck would have it flagler county (the one I live in) has the highest unemployment rate in Fl. It would cost us more in gas and child care then it would to not work if I had to drive the 1/2 hour each way to another city. DANG DANG DANG!!!!0

Sam - Hugs. Sorry about the sh!tty situation.
Donna - Congrats! What an accomplishment!
Marla - An apology???? Now, that does not compute with me. :noway:
Lori - Can't wait to see the final deck pictures with flowers, mulch, etc. I was so tempted to go to Lowes this weekend for some plants. 3/$10 ( I think ). Can't beat it.
Just finished Week 6, Day 1. Folks, I am "this" close to being a runner. :bigsmile: :drinker:0 -
Kati- I got some perennials for $3 something. Good deal. I
my plants and flowers. Hubs said it looked like a jungle when I was unloading. I thought it looked perfect.
Here's a sneek peek. It's ALMOST there!
Seriously, I can't even explain it, but it's like a weight has been lifted to get that staining done today. We went for strawberries and I putzed this afternoon, cleaning up stuff here and there, doing this and that. Imagine!
I feel 'free'. I know I bring it on myself and we aren't quite there, but I feel so light. A million pounds have been lifted. I'm ready to foucs on something else for a while.0 -

Oh yeah, apologies don't compute for most of us. If yours is anything like mine, he's never wrong, so no need to apologize for anything.
I have actually seen mine turn things around to make it look like he was right instead of just saying he was wrong or make excuses and act like I don't know what I'm talking about. MEN! It KILLS them to be wrong.
Now, they are more than happy to point it out when we are though.0 -

Ha-- seriously-- they're like the Fonz, in Happy Days--
"I was wrrr-- what I mean to say was I was, wrrrrr-- I was wrrrrr-- wrrrrrr-- I can't say it, Cunningham!!"
Therein lies the male gender--0 -
Have you ever had the picture of what you want in your mind, yet you can't find it? I was looking for a headband for the ball. Fairly thick, satin covered with some beading similar to my dress. Yeah, not gonna find it. However, I have found many that look like this.
:noway:0 -
Had my second session of weight training with Aaron-- good stuff.
He told me 3 sets of 7 pushups since I couldn't handle 3 sets of ten-- they were no day at the beach, either-- but, this was also after all the other stuff, so I was already tired.
Going to call the doctor tomorrow-- no excuses, here, but I'm going to be looking into having my thyroid tested. I'm seeing an online mention here and there of a link between psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and hypothyroidism.
I've put on 5-8 pounds since diagnosis inexplicably, and just can't get it off. Even with 4 days of veggie juice, it wouldn't budge. 1200-1400 calories daily, no sweets, minimal breads and pastas, watching the sodium-- average 4 days of exercise--
Also, looked into symptoms-- crunchy hair, dry skin, fatigue, weight gain, uh, constipation-- got lots of 'em-- so we'll see.
I'm hanging in-- 1400 calories today. Probably won't run tonight since I did the weight training, but I know this weight is not me.
Heading to type--
Later.
Lori-- deck looks awesome.
Kati-- way to go on the week 6-- good stuff, my friend.0 -
W6D1 is in the books and I am on my way to being in bed. Good nite !!0

Late to the board - sorry Tamara
Well first night without dh went ok, if you can say no sleep due to neighbours chatting loudly in the rear garden (just under my window by the sounds of it!) until 4am...... I was in bed thinking give me a break my boys will be up in 2 hours! So I still have a major headache, but have been good with my choices and done some walking, and will go on the bike later once I've finished working!
Lori - your decking and flowers look amazing
Marla - an apology and will keep my fingers crossed that you get a docs appointment
Boobi and Kati - well done on the week 6
Sam - sorry to hear about your dh. Will hope that things work out for the better for you both
Beth - hope that you hear that little washing machine noise (thats how John described hearing little Chris's heartbeat),
Andrew - sorry for your lose and thoughts are with you ( I will try to remember to weighthis week - no bank holiday to confuse me :laugh:
Roni - glad that you have had a good time and that your trip was extended but sorry that the van has gone wrong again :grumble:
Everyone else, hope you have a great tuesday and any last minute workouts go well0 -
good morning-- typing done for the day--
Our homeschool ponies-- Oregon Trail unit study is meeting today here-- fun stuff.
My husband teased me this morning by bringing me two old, cold cups of coffee I've had sitting on the kitchen counter for the past 2 days-- I never throw out my coffee-- and tell the kids I'll get to it later. "Touch it and die," is my motto to them-- and they know it. Ha.
Anyway-- he makes and brings me coffee every morning, but today brought me my old Dunkin Donuts cup from two days ago, and my Starbucks from yesterday and teased "No new coffee till you drink the old stuff."
like a dope-- I put 'em together and chugged 'em-- cold, black coffee-- ugh.
Why do I do these things to myself-- ha--
Tanya-- get some rest--
Tamara-- have a great day with the hubs.
Beth-- I loved hearing the heartbeat, every appointment, every baby-- good stuff.
Later--0 -
Bobbi - Great job yesterday! Most of the time I just do the minutes vs. distance. It's easier for me to keep track that way for my exercise diary. But, yesterday I did the distance. Took me way longer than 3 mins to walk 1/4 mile. Had to kick it up a notch or five to get that last one in. The first 1/2 mile took me about 6:15. The 3/4 mile was about 8:30. The final 1/2 mile was 5 mins on the dot. I didn't think I could do it. Was afraid to try. But, I did it and felt amazing. part of me wants to move to day 2, but I think I should have a rest day. Time will tell which voice in my head wins.:laugh:
Andrew - I'm sorry for your loss.
Beth - Glad you're feeling well. I loved being pregnant, giving birth, etc. I just loved, loved, loved it! I almost get jealous of pregnant women. Especially first time parents. Makes me smile from the inside out. :flowerforyou: So I'll tell you that I'm jealout of you and Lori-PA.
Tanya - Sorry about your noisy neighbors. Hope you get some rest today.
Marla and Lori - You guys crack me up. We could all be married to the same men. :laugh: When DH and I were newly married he said, "Why do you always have to point out when I'm wrong?" I said, "Well, you make it so easy because most of the time you are." Poor guy. It's a wonder he's put up with me this long.
Tamara - Have fun with your hubby and at your training session tonight. We're going to be in the low 80's today too. May have to walk outside today. . . . .0 -
Drop in for a quick hello. Not good when you take off a day from work! The world would fall apart...c'mon!
bump for later...hopefully I will find some time then. feeling a little sore from the run...went for an easy 3 this morning0 -
Just got caught up, I want to take the time to comment to everybody, but I've got to get motoring this AM. My house needs some attention. I can't stand the floors any longer! I usually sweep up every other day or so and I can't remember when I last did it. I had one of the kids do it Sunday, however, they stink at cleaning, so it still looked kinda gross after he was done. Between grass, dirt, crumbs and dog hair it's pretty nasty. Time to get to work!
Have a great day all.0 -
I needed to pop back on here for a second. One of the things I"ve been somewhat avoiding was trying on my dress for the ball again. I'm not sure why. I think in my head it was tight, when I know it wasn't or I wouldn't have kept it. I'm good to go. I need to hem it and if anything, I'll go a little short. Long dress. Heels. Beer in my hand. The last thing I need is a dress to get tangled in my feet and trip over. I trip over my own feet when there is nothing in the way!
I think I may need a necklace yet and I need to stop wearing racerback tanks outside to work. Bad tan lines for that particular dress! Otherwise, I'm ready!
Ok, I really am going to sweep my floors......0 -
Kati- I got some perennials for $3 something. Good deal. I my plants and flowers. Hubs said it looked like a jungle when I was unloading. I thought it looked perfect.

Lori - It looks fantastic! Congratulations on a job well done!0 -
yep so she killed me...
And she opens the ymca tomorrow when I get there at 5 am..she will watch me crawl in probably.
Well I ate about 1750 calories and burned 1275..Maybe I will treat myself to an ice cream...well off to cook kiddos dinner0 -

With Harley I loved being pregnant. I didn't even mind the morning sickness in the beginning. I wanted the huge belly and hated when people told me I barely looked pregnant. This time I have almost 3 months to go and I'm already done. I feel like a whale. Everything hurts. I'm ready for Cooper to just be here already. The only reasons I still want to be pregnant are because it's too soon (I have 12 weeks left), I enjoy being pregnant when I feel Cooper kick (except when he tries to escape out my belly button or makes me almost pee myself by kicking my bladder), and mostly because I'm scared to death of dealing with Harley and a new baby at the same time.
Today I went to check on my supposed-to-be-sleeping daughter and she was standing in her crib pantsless with her poopy diaper on the floor and poop on the floor, her hand, her sheets...I made Dave take me out to dinner after that one.0 -

I will live vicariously through all of you ladies. If I'm honest, I'm more afraid of the actual pregnancy part than being a parent.0 -
Morning all,
I will admit that I actually hated being pregnant but then I had morning (afternoon and evening) sickness the whole way through all 4. I sailed through the labours though, with the youngest arriving 3 minutes after my waters broke - luckily he was the only one that I actually had contractions with before my waters broke, so we were already in hospital :huh:
Got a bit of a weird house full today - have my 4 (all boys), and 4 minded (all girls), and we need to go to the shops to get Tom's bike fixed. He has his first stage of his cycling proficeancy test next month. I have already peeled all the potatoes for the shepherds pie I am going to make at lunch, and am desperate to get on the bike but thats not going to happen until after they all go home tonight, so am going to have to make do with a long walk to the shops.
Have a great day all, and hope yo0 -
