Not attending a gym from Oct 16-30th has its drawbacks! 3 days in and my arm muscles are so sore. Aack! I do like the feeling right after, warm from the sauna and tingly! I makes me think of when I was in the ski club in high school. The bus ride home every muscle spent, and still on the activity endorphin high. I shall…

Thanks, yep I know I have to be patient. What's frustrating is knowing his ships in port. I know every son is different, but both other two sons called us, when ship would be in dry dock, or they were walking someplace. Its just checking in. Its hard to write letters when you have no frame of reference, no feedback. It…

Well, that is true, but if he is dealing with depression issues I would want to know. They can be positive, hard-working adults, but still know that family has to be tended. He is on his computer off and on, I get a notice that he has been on Messenger 6 minutes ago type of thing. He can be as independent as he wants, but…

I am sorry you are having female issues.💖. Have your gynecologist do a biopsy for Lichen Schlorisis! That is what I have! It used to come and go as well. My skin there used to be papery thin, have a whitish hue, and tear easily. I was out on a steroid cream, clobetasol, and now its all a healthy pink. Private message me…

Ok ok yes ramen is an acquired taste, most definitely! I had never had half an egg in ramen before. It was cool, the egg yolk creamy. So made ahead of time and placed in the soup. The three prawns were not cooked too much or chewy. Yummy! I did however wake up a bit bloated from the salt, so no wedding ring wearing today.…

Since home I have been enjoying my eldest son. We have been laughing at funny videos, and today we went to a wonderful ramen shop here in Whidbey island. We shared some melt in your mouth pot stickers, and each had a bowl of ramen. Mine was pork bone broth, with shiitake mushrooms, onions, 3 prawns, half an egg, bok choy,…

It was a great visit with many talks, good food, some beneficial crying, and belly laughs! 💖Rebecca

Mommy was panda, Athena a koala, and my son was Pokemon trainer Ash.👍

Thanks Barbie for starting the Nov thread.💖👍 My trip was amazing! My sister and I💖 Athena, mommy and son! Its nice to get back in my routine. I didn't gain an ounce during my trip! Friggin miracle! 💖Rebecca

Cruise book pic.👍 Another cute Tucker pic with sister! 💖Rebecca Still in Great Falls, Montana

Hey ladies, still in snowy Montana at sisters home, have g a great time. She got a puppy about 3 days before I arrived on the 21st, so we have had fun with him. Everyone meet Tucker, he's about 10 weeks old and is a Bernese Mountain dog. Athena being her sweet self! Looked thru my youngest son's cruise book from his last…

Long day! 7 hours driving in rain, windy weather. But we had a nice lunch and are at Elmers with middle son, mommy and sweet Athena. She is amazing! I had half of a Tillamook and ham omelet. Some bites of hash browns. I ate well today.👍 Enjoyed our hot tub here at the Double tree Inn.👍 Tomorrow is mega loud chaotic family.…

On my way! 💖Rebecca

This Friday, I get to hug these kids! My middle son's beard is looking so Pacific northwest! 💖Rebecca

You take a daily vitamin right? Just thing of your daily exercise as your physical vitamin. For me that takes the "choice" out of it. Its just something we do. Pretty soon people will recognize you and then that's accountability. I tell my friends at the gym, I am the token obese person. Someone has to be, and I am honored…

I remember having a primary care physician that was more obese than I was, and she was stressing to me about losing weight, blah, blah, and I was thinking, how can she dictate to me, when she needs to as well! Also I have talked to new doctors, with that "I'm a new patient, let's get to know each other" appointment. We…

I am glad I make y'all smile. I tell people who say I'm a funny thing, that I lived with 2 comedians in the 80's, they conditioned me! A lot of ego in that old rental house! My eldest Navy son has his physical fitness test this Wednesday, so he went exercising with us yesterday. My son asked if I had ever played Wallyball.…

Love Hilda!💖🎃🍁

Heather, I showed your beautiful birthday pic to husband, (putting my finger over the 70 part in you cake. I asked him to guess what birthday she's having.💖. He answered late fifties? My guess too! You rock 70 woman! Awesome! 💖Rebecca

Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie, awe see I have never looked at it that way! He's always been a Mr. Mom though! Even when he was about 6 years old he would get up early on Sat mornings with Owain, letting me sleep. Of course a 6 year old shushing his 2 year old brother is pretty loud, but he'd get cereal out, and turn…

((((( Hugs Allie))))))).💖

Athena seems content, and unimpressed by the whole outing.💖 I find it interesting that my son is always the primary carrier holder. 💖Rebecca

Beth near Buffalo thanks for understanding, actually y'all all very understanding.💖 Awe friend don't play the woulda, shoulda, coulda game. Start each day with a clean black black board. Do your best with the now, you can't make up for yesterdays. My strategy is going to be every two weeks letter. Kill him with kindness…

Oh its a tough thing.💖. Thank you for his service and your family's sacrifice in giving him to the Navy. How long has he been in? My eldest son has been in for 13 so he realized that if he just stays in for 7 more, he can retire at 37, and then go to college getting trained in small scooter engines. Each sailor has…

Happy Wednesday to you extraordinary group of ladies!💖 Sent this message to the Ashland Moms group that I belong to on Facebook. Maybe they can help me out with more suggestions. Long Rant! So here's the deal (ships name) Moms, I have a great OS sailor, but an awful communicator. My Chief of a husband contacted him last…

Thanks ladies for your positive thoughts and suggestions.💖 I think with eldest son down in San Diego, I have empty nest syndrome! My dear husband was supportive, gave me hugs here and there, and when he came back from his doctors appointment, he had a Peanut buster parfait in his hand. Ok I know sweets don't help, but I…

Its something I need to research, Katla.💖 Rebecca Have a great trip!

So had a rough night last night. Sat in bed, worried about Navy son and picked at my nails, and cuticles. That a from 11 pm to about 1 am. Then slept hard from 1 to about 3 am. Then I worried and silently cried about son until 4:30 am. I was still weepy when I got up, so stayed home from gym. I just mourn for him, his…
