Today Show Club! (Everyone Always Welcome)

OK busy day, Alivia has a stupid test to take 40 minutes away but there is a huge playground over there so we will be going there with packed lunches (I hope). Im kinda sluggish this morning as I am every flipping morning. It frusterates me because I need to be more of a morning person and no matter how much sleep I get at night (which is normally not alot and broken up) or how early I go to bed I just can not get motivated in the morning. Its been like this for as long as I can remember. I hate coffee and I dont care much for tea (though I did buy some berry blend green tea, I may try some warm tomorow but i dunno) so I cant just have a cup of caffine and go. Though my husband commented to a waitress a few weekends ago that I dont drink coffee or tea in the morning and still get up with two kids and home school and take care of everything and he has no clue how I manage. Well I dont lol I just drag along and the last couple days of the school week last week I was yawning while doing lessons and almost nodding off while she did her worksheets. I though losing weight was suppose to give more energy. I dont feel any different, just lighter I guess.

OK off to pack lunches I suppose, though I dont have my usual pringle to go with my PB sandwhich so Im kinda bummed.I have to have a crunchy with my pb sandwhich (and I hate crunchy pb though). Maybe Ill stop and pick some up on the way. Wish we had a drive through dollar store or something lol so I dont hve to get outa the van with two kids.

hey everyone, bobbie and I cancelled run this evening due to both not feeling well, and I need my body to rest as much as it can this week since my marathon is on sat..

I will post in a littel bit I am running running running, when will it stop, probably never!!

Hey everyone....I won't be on too much this week...just long enough to log my food.

Our 2 year old ganddaughter is in the hospital. She has been struggling to kick a virus over the last 8 days and finally got so dyhydraded they had to admit her. Long story....gals and I was so unhappy the medical people were not taking my daughter seriously....that is until I went with her and gave them a piece of my mind. She was so bad they couldn't even find a vein to run an IV, they had to put it on her foot. ARGHGHGH!!!

Anyway.... you guys keep going and I will do the best I can, but it has been tough...Have got no excercie in at all. Doesn't matter my main goal is to see our little angel girl get better.

Have a good week.

good moring team I am here not feeling the best off to the dr..

Marcie your in my thoughts

I wish mental exercise counted towards calories lost lol
I just spend a half hour at toys r us getting that movie. It better be good. Though it was worth it since I got the free tink watch and I had to get a small toy so I could use all my coupons so I got my son a dollar matchbox car (he is addicted to those) and I got the 10 dollar gift card they gave away for preordering the movie and after everything I ended up paying just 1.45 I think it was. Not to shabby. I must go to a different TRU when picking up beauty and the beast though since this one was trying to say I couldnt use ym disney coupon. but whatever lol.

what movie did you get jessica? M daghter love match box cars also..

Just got back from dr and running a few errands.. Fluid behind my ears and severe sinus infection, steriod and better be better before marathon.. Off to go get meds then home to clean!!

jessica I love tinker bell and so does my daughter she is the type of person who could watch the same movie over and over and over.. As loing as it keep her busy I am good with that..

Bobbie- IS not feeling well, She needs to rest she has a lot on her plate..

I am thinking this after noon after I work with my hubby to take son to batting cages as we have a game tomorrow.

I have to pick up my race bib and packet friday for race on sat.. I am so excited my dad would be so proud..

Marcie- How is g daughter??

Deneeen and KIm- where are ya'll,?? are you lurking??

I am off to the gym lifting weight from 5-530 then cardio until 620.. I am feeling better actually I feel amazing.. I got a compliment yesterday in the gym this one guy said man tamara your ripped made me feel good!!

Have an awesome day ya'll its hump day, where did this week go??

Deneen- Girl dont get discouraged, its one step at a time, its one bite, at a time, its one day at a time.. Slow and steady wins the race!!!

Bobbie- I hope you are feeling bettter I am here for you if you need me, and oh yeah no CICI'S

Marcie- Any news on grand daughter>??

Jessica- You enjoying tinker bell??

I am in a awesome mood today... What can I say.. Working tomorrow, baseball game tonight then off to pick up packet tomorrow and spending sme much needed hubby time,..

Deneen- No I never thought the words I am signing up for a half marathon would come out of my mouth, but its my passion I love to do it and it am free when I am doing it, it gives me time to think to myself, sing whatever, I am a bird and I could just keep on runnin ( most of the time anyways)

But we all have days that we are down, you have seen bobbie and I down and this team has only been together a short time..So get your chin up today is a new day,smile and move on with it!!

I am outta here gonna make kiddos lunch then head to the gym to read!!

the Tink movie was pretty good. Surprisingly they are waiting till fall 2012 for the last tink to comeout. Seems like too long to make little ones wait. I dont think alivia will be into tink in 2 years from now. My son though loved the movie too lol.

I havent been real motivated to use the bike this week but ive compensated by swimming with the kids twice and walking alittle. Im hoping that I didnt just screw up my weigh in for tomorow by not using the bike but we will see. Ive just been really busy this week and Im finding it hard to find time to work out and do Alivia's school work with her and keep everything else together. I will get it I know it.

hi everyone. i am just on here for a minute. i have a sinus infection and pink eye in both eyes. i have antibiotics and a medicated eye drop. i have slept 75% of the past few days. i am taking another sick day tomorrow. i need to be better by saturday. my bestest friend needs me and i will be there for her. i promise i am still here. i will be back to new in a couple days. i hope all is well with everyone.

aaahhh I forgot to stepon the scalebefore I ate breakfast lol Guess Ill wait till it all digests though I have this awful weird pain in my stomach and back. Couldnt sleep all night because of it and its making me nausous now. Its in a weird spot too so I hae no idea what to do to relieve the pain or why its there. UGH My daughter has a field trip today to the farm park but its suppose to thunderstorm todya. I hope we dont get stuck in it. Oh and my lovely son invited my mom :noway: so this should be uhhh interesting. I dont take her anywhere like this were people I will be seeing alot will be there because she is very overhearing with my children and teetering on embarassing with a hint of annoying lol Yea so we shall see what happens.

Hello you housewifes -

I think I am still alive, :sick: but I thought I was dying there for a few days. Yesterday was my first day out of bed in 3 days. I got slammed with the flu/turned into a cold. Sinus infection, ear ache the whole gammit!!!! DARN KIDDOS!! They got me sick, or shopping with the shopping carts that are probably covered in wiggly germs!!! I was able to get up off and on, but my head hurt so bad, lying down was much better. Today I feel about 75% back to normal.

So, I forgot even that yesterday was weigh-in day, so I am going to wait until next Friday. My husband and son are gone right now. My husband took him with him to Washington, he is looking into a couple jobs there. It is so frustrating right now. You mostly have to apply on-line now submitting resumes, rarely do you get the opportunity anymore to apply in person. Anyhow, because they are out of town, and my daughter stay'd the night at my in-laws I had the house to myself. YEAH!!

I noticed that immediately the sense of happiness was coming from my thoughts of food, and what I wanted to eat. I combine happiness with food. Also, my favorite thing in the whole wide world is good Alfredo sauce.

Tamara: Do you eat pasta dishes? If so, what?? I don't mind whole wheat pasta at all, it's jus tthe Alfredo sauce. I would forego my calories for the day to allow for the high calories in Alfredo sauce. I am addicted. Do you know, "does that mean I am allergic"?? I have heard that if you crave something sooooo much, your brain is telling you, you need that, you may be allergic to it?? Crazy????

Deneen: I am so with you girl, I can relate 200% with you.

Bobbie: Pink eye in both eyes?? Yuk, I am sooo sorry. Hope you feel well soon!

Jessica: I love to think back when my kids were little, and we were so excited to get movies. My favorite of all time was Toy Story, and then Monsters, Inc. I recently took my 14 yr. old son to see Toy Story III, and I cried because it was the last movie, and realized my son is growing up and soon will be out. I miss him at age 4/5. He was sooo cute, and fun and NOT MOODY! 14 years old now, somewhat can be a challenge, but he is good boy. I am bleassed!!

Gail: I am so glad to hear your grandbaby is good! Hospitals can be very hard for little ones, my daughter was in just 24 hrs when she was 2, and the IV process was hurendous. I had to ask for a different nurse with more experience it took 3x before they could get it in successfully.

Today is going to be a nice day. I am going to watch my daughter ride her new horse for the 2nd time. I have to go buy a new boulder/holder too!! Not too much fun for buying boobie bras! :noway:

It seems that my shopping for myself lately consists of underwear, bras and socks...... I don't have to try those on...... I know what size they are......pretty consistent..........:huh:

I missed you guys, and I am glad to be back. I will try to upload some more pics today too!

Kim

hey everyone checkign in.. Giving you my offically time for half marathon

out og 3883 people I finished 478 with an offical time of 2 hours 3 minutes 3 second. with a 9.24 minute mile... I am notfeeing well this morning.. My legs are crampie, to b expected. I was on my legs for 13 hours..

Well gonna spend time with hubby and kiddos today and go food shopping!! Yippee fully back on the wagon today!

Oh I forgot to add that I ended up weighing on saturday morning and IM down one lb! Ill take it since its close to TOM and I wasnt do much last week. this week Im gonna hopefully kick it up a notch. I went out yesterday and did some shopping. I always am a nervous wreck between seasons since I always feel like the kids NEED clothes. Im sure ppl have raised kids with less clothe then we have but I still freak out. Luckily I am a shopper and I almost never pay full price and it has to be a good sale though I almsot broke down and bought this beautiful dress that was half off but still not as good a deal as I prefer. I told myself I would wait since it will be on sale in a few months. I hope they have her size. If not Ill get whatever seize they have and it will fit eventually. That store has no limit on returns so if it doesnt fit in the right season I can return it whenever. Anyways my husband was pretty excited to see that at the first store I ende dup with two whole outfits for Alivia and a pair of jeans for Alex for 22 dollars after tax. He is usually a crabby mess when I say "lets go to the outlets" cuz he knows i like to spend money on clothes and I can spend alot lol. So his mood lightened after that and then I just got a few more shirts for alex at another store (my favorite for boys shirts, they have the cutest sayings on them) and a skirt for alivia. I think we maybe set for fall and winter since we did a layaway at sears last week. Just need shoes for my daughter since all of her are too small and well girls need plenty of shoes. i think Ill wait for a BOGO sale at target since I saw the shoes I want to get her there. Luckily I bought heavey coats a size bigger last year when we got them onsale (for a steal) and they still fit both kids, I dont normally use heavey coats anyways unless they are playing in the snow so they are practically brand new. I just need to get them some zip ups since it seems my sons all are too small from last year. Darn kids need to stop growing!

OK that ended up longer then I wanted. Off to do some small grocery shopping and I might need to clean out my fridge first.

Okay ladies I am back at it this week. I am still not running at full capacity. The antibiotics make me feel so sick. I have to take it an hour before a meal or 2 or 3 hours afterwards. It is the first one that I have taken that you do not take with food and I do not like it at all. I still have 6 days of this medicine left. I am so not happy about it. The pink eye is gone, but my eyes are still super sensitive. I hate this being sick crap! I want to feel better.

I am off to a rough start this morning. I got up at 4 to do my workout dvd. I could not get the dvd player to work and that really irritates me. I needed to get my workout int his morning because I do not have time tonight. So I am not very happy about that. Then I went to Walmart so I could try and get some stuff done and be able to fit my workout in. Let's just say that I am not going to be getting my workout in tonight. Walmart didn't have anything that I needed. I asked a sales clerk for help and he could not even help me. So I told him that this was why I shop at Target. It was a very frustrating morning, but I have to shake it off and stay positive. I will keep my calories in check today and maybe I can walk the dogs tonight. I will figure out something.

So here is what all I need to do today. I work until 4:30 this afternoon. I need to go to the post office or find a box the perfect size to ship my husbands gifts. Our one year anniversary is this Sunday and I am shipping his presents tomorrow. I am going to try to make him pecan bars tonight because pecan pie is his favorite. I have to go to Target to get the rest of his goodies for his box. I also have to print some new pictures to send him. He got a new wallet and wants me to make a certain picture into a wallet for him. He doesn't ask for much so when he does then I try to give him what he wants. He also asked me to send him his crocs and they are in storage. I need to see if I can go and find them tonight too. I also need to go to verizon because I am about to throw my less than a month old phone against the wall. All of the sounds and ringtones are saying they are an invalid tone and it is pissing me off. I also have to go back to the store tomorrow to get him the Iron Man 2 dvd. Gosh I have a lot to do. Tomorrow should not be as busy. If I can figure out the DVD player, then I will get 2 workouts in.

Okay guys I am sorry that was so long. I hope everyone is doing well. Tomorrow I should be back to my old self on here. Fingers crossed for that anyways.

Have a great day.

Tamara - I think I posted last Saturday, maybe I got lost in the reply's. I posted a long one!

I also just uploaded another family pic for ya'll to see!

Shari?? Where are you??

Still not feeling good, haven't track a thing for a week, ugh!! I think I went backwards Sat. night and began to feel cruddy again, in bed all day yesterday. Feeling better today though, hopefully on the upswing now. Gotta get back in the routine though!
