I would say if it is just to see the progress then why not just save them to your computer as a screen saver or have them in a "file" on the computer where you can see them but still keep the peace with the husband?

onehecticmom~I know how you feel! I do not have a daycare in my home but sometimes I feel like I do. LOL I have 7 children of my own from the ages of 10 to almost 2. It is crazy in my home during the day. It is a wonder if I can get stuff done around the house. When I babysit for my friends I have 13-14 children in my…

Nicole~My four oldest start school on August 22nd. They are in 5th, 4th, 2nd and 1st. My fifth will be starting preschool in Sept. not sure of the actual date yet. They should be sending us something about when we start within the next couple of weeks. One of my friends homeschools her children and my brother in law and…

My children are getting super excited about school starting. I am of course, as always, having a hard time with the idea of school starting up yet again and my "babies" growing up too fast. :laugh: Don't tell them I just called them babies they would be super ticked at me. :laugh: We found out last night who each of them…

Babbe welcome! Katie~It is a "dry" heat here so it is not as bad. We do have two window A/Cs to help with the heat. I guess after 4 years without you get used to it. :laugh: It would be nice though to have A/C my hubby "melts" in the heat though so he is pretty grumpy the hotter that it gets. A lot of times he camps out in…

Welcome Zannster! Barb~I am glad that the in laws are leaving you alone. Hope that it continues. Nicole~Thank you! I do to. Holding steady can be a good thing. :smile: At least there is no gaining right? I know that you want to lose and it will come. I hope that your trip to England is a good one. Shoppie~Thank you! The…

I got to say sometimes I really hate my brain. I read all the posts since the last time I posted BUT I have completely forgotten who I wanted to respond to. :tongue: So I apologize if it was your post and I don't respond to it. :flowerforyou: Barb~I know it has been a long time since you posted this but I am glad that the…

Nicole~Thank you! As for the lettuce dilemma I would say find someone to share with. Also way to go on the loss. I figure even if it was stuff you had regained and then lost it is still a loss right? At least it is not a gain. :smile: Well I have not exercised since Sat :tongue: . I am shooting for today. Of course today…

That seriously makes me want to....:sick: . Not so sure that the money would be worth it. I guess it depends on how bad you needed it.

Thank you! Amy~I completely did not see your post of you first veggie. Yay for home grown veggies! My first one is almost done too. Mine is a tomato. I cheated this year and bought 2 tomato plants that already had tomatoes on the plant. We had 20 something tomato plants and I wanted some earlier this year. LOL That would…

Today is my dd1's birthday so we celebrated by going to the zoo, at her request. We got up early to go so that we could see the "cats" be active. Which worked out great. We were able to see one of the Tigers swimming and a couple of them were eating their breakfast. It has been a good day so far. I have done well on eating…

Barb~Ouch! That looks painful. I hope that all went well with getting the stitches out. KC~We all struggle at some point with getting back on the horse. Just keep working at it and you will get there. So this last weekend was mine and my hubby's 11th anniversary. He surprised me by taking me to an Inn for overnight. We…

The summer is just getting away from me! :laugh: I have not been doing very good at logging my food however I have been exercising. I go on a bike ride every night (too hot for me to do it during the day). So today a friend of mine came over. She is in to home renovations and helped me start tearing the wallpaper down off…

Never have and don't see the hype to be honest! So I guess you can say never will too! :wink:

So wanted to post a success for me. To do this I have to be honest. I have been a slacker on the exercise and have been eating like crap! Anyways I got on my bike tonight and went for a bike ride. We went 4.55 miles in about 30 min. Not the best I can do but certainly not the worst either. Not as out of shape as I thought…

I have met someone that I first "met" on here.

Have not read all the posts maybe I will have time later. Today was the last day of school for the kids. They are all happy about it except dd1 she is sad. I say bring on the summer let's see if we can keep them busy and happy this time around. :laugh: Well got to go the hubby is getting grumpy at me. :laugh:

bmfrazie~I do it both ways I will workout with the little ones around or when the hubby gets home. Which ever I feel like doing that day.:happy: For me it was all about teaching the kids what is expected of them when I work out with them around. (really don't think I want to kick them in the head and I am sure they don't…

Been crazy busy here the last few days but have a few minutes to post. Been on field trips the last two days, tomorrow my son is going to district for olymipiad (sp?) and on friday dd1 has a field trip I am going on. Very busy this week. :laugh: Nicole~Sorry to hear about the blood clot. That is some scary stuff. Hope you…

lloyd~You can do it! I am at my smallest in 7 years and have done good at staying in the mid to lower 150's. Now if I could just get into the 140's it would be great! Barb~ cute pic! I used to be a soda junkie but now most make me sick and I try to stay away from the ones that I like (Welch's grape soda). Good luck!…

Katie~Love the new pic and the shirt. I was wondering what the story behind it was until I read your post.:happy: Nicole~Ya the couch is a little too comfy. Cleaning sounds like something that I need to do too.:laugh: Just can't bring myself to it. Instead I am going to go out and do some yard work. I need to get my garden…

Thank you for all the compliments! Holly~Way to go on unofficial hitting the 120's. I can't wait until that is me. Shoot at this point I can't wait to be in the low 140's (healthy range for me). I am just lurking right out of them. :laugh: It is amazing how dirty they get in such a short time. Happy cleaning. I should be…

I "met" my hubby online first but we didn't continue to chat online because we lived close enough that we met in person and started dating but we have been together for 12 years and married 11 years. Still going strong if not even stronger than we were. I think online dating can be so scary (I lucked out). Be careful hun…

Thinner face yes! Love the new haircut it enhances your beauty.

Shopppie~Love your haircut! Reminds me of mine. I uploaded a photo of my new haircut. The hubby was saying some stuff to me hence the cheesy smile. However it was the best looking one of the bunch. Stacey~Way to go on the pound. I didn't get in formal exercise but I jogged at work and did some squats. I am planning on…

Don't let what someone else says get you down. If it is something that you really want to do then go for it and do it. My experience is that people say rude things to try to get you feeling down because they are unhappy with their life. :flowerforyou: I would invite him to run with you.

For those requesting pics of the new haircut, I plan on it just have not gotten around to it yet. Welcome to all new moms to this board. Holly~I too am sorry to hear about your grandma. Will pray for her and your family. Shoppie~Hope that your daughter is recovering from surgery alright and that you are getting the rest…

Hi to all new moms to this thread. KC~I still consider myself a SAHM. I work 2 hrs a day 5 days a week at the kids school. So don't sweat it. The deck sounds like some fun. Your right your week does sound busy! Holly~It was nice weather here only on Sat but yesterday and now today it has been raining. I don't mind the rain…

Shoppie~I miss that stage of baby. I LOVE babies. As everyone can tell since I have soo many children. :laugh: KC~I love to see loss on the scale but love to see it in the measurements even more. Hope you see a good size loss. Well got to get very busy today. Went to the zoo on a field trip today and so of course the kids…

PNCtink~That has got to be hard to have visitors over. Hope that you can get back on track without any hitches. Shoppie~It's so hard to please everyone isn't it? How old is DD? KC~Love the PT success! PT is the bane to my existence.:laugh: Out of the 6 that are PT, only one was easy and that was my 1st. So talk about…
