You may think I am crazy but.........................

[willsmama]

Last night I was on edge because Her I was eating a salad with no dressing and after she had ate her veggies and dinner she got to have a kit kat her grandma sent her. Ugh! It was so hard not to eat some of it myself! When it was time to wash her hands I wanted to lick them clean! :shock: :oops:

Aww poor Morgan. You can have a low-cal, low-fat dressing by using Vinegar and equal or splenda. It makes it a sweet and sour dressing.

Good idea.

Pam, I do the same thing. I gave will a Vanilla Wafer and when a chunk fell out of his mouth I all most ate it! NO! VIVA LA RESISTANCE!

[sarahlynn]

i have another kit kat :shock:

and i had mcdonalds for breakfast and lunch..

I SUCK :cry:

[lexsmama]

I'm the same way. And Lex is in the feeding stage, so I will sometimes eat what he gives me. :oops:

Oh girls. It was bad. The house had 2x4 s as baseboards. Old and unfinished. The hot water heater was out where Lex could have a hayday. The stairs were old and rickety. The kitchen was soooo small, I could barely fit in it. Oh, and there were no doors. :shock: And, the camera died as I tried to take the first pic...

[newmami]

well no wonder why the house was cheaper, huh?? I am sorry Ashley, I know how frustrating it is to house hunt

I am eating all the chocolate we have at home, so the temptation is not there anymore :mrgreen:

Hey Jenny!!! glad you had fun and that Ella got ready for her nap... enjoy the sleepy time

WHERE IS BEL????????

[lexsmama]

No wonder. It's okay, though. One will just pop up in front of us when it's time, right?

I hope you get some good rest, Jenny. Ella, too! :)

[without]

Claudia I did that on Christmas Break! I ate all my BuBu Lubu's so they wouldn't tempt me! LOL No wonder I gained 10 pounds! :shock:


OK Do you think I am crazy????
My favorite thing to do at work is to put my food in the microwave and try to beat the clock. Like today I put my peas in the microwave and hit start took off running down the hall to my desk grabed the water bottel off my desk ran out into the main halway where the water fountan in refilled my bot with water ran with the bott. up to the bath room and washed my hands and made it back to the break room before the buzer went off on the microwave. Shew... my little 2 minute race ever day. LOL Sh... don't tell any one but I look at every ones tags as I drive to see if they are out of date. :oops: I think that must might make me crazy!

[sarahlynn]

oh no sorryu about the house..ugh that sucks

LMAO pam your nuts

[without]

You should see the looks I get. He he its the best part of the day!

[Momto3]

For me the peas would have had to been cooking for 10 minutes to do all that! Whew!


Sorry about the house Ashley. That just means the perfect one for you is still out there and will come along soon!

[CandiceLeigh]

Hey girls! How is everyone! :D I've been laying low lately but I had to come in here and see how ya'll are doing. I just read this page and can I say, Pam you are crazy! :lol: I bet that's funny to watch you running around!

Ashley, sorry about the house. That sounds awful! Ya'll are still in TX right? I remember you saying that you wanted to move to a different state.

I missed you guys :vibes:

[lexsmama]

You are nuts, Pam. But that's what makes you special! lol.

Thanks ladies. We're wanting to be anywhere that gives dh a better job, right now. He's apllied all over Texas, Florida, Virginia, D.C. I think that's it for now. Maybe Colorado... He needs better pay... More job satisfaction than he's getting. Don't we all? He applied for the Director of our Academic Resource Center on campus.. If anyone has ideas for a man with a MS in Physics...

[newmami]

OMG look at Chris!!! he is just too cute Candice!!

Pam, I don't race the microwave but I do the tag thing :oops:

I ate all my BuBu Lubu's so they wouldn't tempt me
are you for real????????

My hands are hurting and they get numbed for no reason... I am afraid to go to the Dr to see what is wrong :cry:

[CandiceLeigh]

Thanks Claudia! He's getting so big though. :shock: I don't know about your hands. Did it just start today?

[lexsmama]

My hands are hurting and they get numbed for no reason... I am afraid to go to the Dr to see what is wrong :cry:

Are we on APA too much? :lol: Sorry. Had to. But, I hope you find out something. It could be as simple as a small case of carpel tunnel. Maybe you pinched a nerve? I don't know. I'm sorry, Claudia.

Chris is such a grown up little guy, Candice. Quite the handsome one. :wink:

[without]

are you for real????????

My hands are hurting and they get numbed for no reason... I am afraid to go to the Dr to see what is wrong
_________________


I am for real! I ate them morning noon and night for about 2 weeks.

The reason I hate going to the DR is because he always says some thing about my weight. I mean I could go in with a splinter and he would say well you know if you lost some weight this wouldn't happen. :roll:

[newmami]

I went to the Mayo clinic website and yes, seems that it could be carpal tunnel..... or arthritis (runs in my family)..... I AM GETTING OLD!!

The other one that scared me was diabetes, because I had GD.... I am going to start measuring my sugar again.

[Jenny]

I'm back :)

What a wonderful nap!! I feel awesome now!

Ashley...you dh has an MS in Physics? My dh has a PhD in Physics. What does your dh do now? What's his salary requirement. I can poke around at some of dh's old jobs and see if they are hiring. You can PM me if you want to keep it personal. :wink:

I'm afraid of the sugar problem, too, Claudia. I'm scared to death I have pre-diabetes... That's what got me started on my weight again...

Glad to see you again, Jenny! Oh, I got Haley the cutest pop up Texas card to go with her postcard... I hope you don't mind!

[without]

I seriously wanted to cry :cry: :cry:

[lexsmama]

We take Zack to the ENT today at 3pm to find out about the tubes.

[Momto3]

Good luck with that Stacy! I'll be thinking of you guys then!


ETA: I've now become Mommie (emphasis on the eeeeeee). No more mama!

[sja1508]

Awwwwwwwww.......

That is just too cute Lynn. You need to get that on video and post it. I haven't had my Katelyn fix in a long time!

[lexsmama]

Aaaa, Lynn! How sweet!

I made an appt to see my dr at 10:15. My throat feels swollen. Weird. And I failed to remember that in order to do a cholesterol count, I have to fast. :?

[newmami]

Hello my friends!!
I am starting the day with 2 things

1. PICTURES!!
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d83/claudiam71/IMG_4370.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d83/claudiam71/IMG_4369.jpg
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d83/claudiam71/IMG_4368.jpg

2. I got even with DH :twisted: . He said something that I have "a better disposition when my parents are here", and I told him it was because I actually have HELP with the kids... his answer?? "I help"..... cricket, cricket..... :lol:

My dad is leaving tomorrow and I am sad. I think he is sad too!! my kids are so attached to them it is not even funny (Dani calls for Abuelo) when she wakes up from her nap. Good thing they will come back in April

ETA, sorry Bel that you had a fight with Oscar, and that he was a party pooper about the summer house :?

[bel]

Good thing they will come back in April

Im so happy you can see them so often!!!! :D
ABout the pics...
you both look awesome!!! thanks for sharing!!! :D :D

[sja1508]

Aw Claudia, thanks so much for posting the pics!!! I can't wait to see the kiddo's again!!!!

[lexsmama]

Cute pics Claudia!

[Jenny]

Great pics Claudia!!

Dh and I had the best sex after the drum circle on Saturday night. 8) If I didn't have this IUD it would have been baby making love for sure :wink: :lol:

[sarahlynn]

YAWN~~~~~~~~~~~~~

good morning ladies...i had a lazy lazy weekend...i have tons of pics from it though.. :oops: i might have to go on a pic posting spree again

[newmami]

Jenny, what exactly was the drum's circle?? just like a party or something???
I swear you are also one of the coolest moms ever!! always finding all this things to do

So I had an epiphany last weekend as I was talking to my mom. DH is stuck in his life and has no long term (or short term for that matter) plans, he just lets life hit him and then he reacts... which is so not like me (I am a planner, and a worrier). So I am done with his ways and letting him suck me into this mode, so I am making my plans of what I want to do and for the future (specially for my kids) and do them, wether he likes it or not. I am done being the person I turned into after I got married... if he doesn't have plans, I do!!!

[without]

1st sorry Bel that your DH was being a poo head!

2nd Great Pictures! Claudia!

3rd.... any one else get the strange email selling children?

[Jenny]

Claudia...

Here is the link to the photos I posted from the drum circle:

http://americanpregnancy.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=137608

[Momto3]

No children selling e-mail here Pam. I assume you got one?


Bel - Sorry about your DH

Claudia - Love the pictures!

Our weekend was great. DH and I did not fight, was very productive getting things done around the house and you know... :oops:

[newmami]

Awesome pictures Jenny!!
I looked online because it sounds cool, and all the info is like for hippies, DH woudl DIE if I suggest that one..... I may escape to one once the kids are older

No email with people selling kids.... but it gives me an idea with DH :twisted:

[without]

Well.... this is the PM I got I don't know why but it broke my heart! I mean we all come her for support and some of us are longing to have another child or just have a child. It leaves a whole in your heart. But then I get so mad to find some thing like this that prays on our emotions and dreams! :evil:

Did you forwarded it to Admin??

[without]

Yes I got it her and no I didn't forward it to Admin :roll: I'll go do that now. I guess I just thought every one had got it..

[newmami]

I think Admin needs to read those as well

Ok, I was supposed to do a search on google, and for the life of me I don't remember what it was about :?

So I told my dad what DH said about them being a bad influence, and that is when he said the famous words in my siggy... he said to tell that to DH.... I love my dad
Oh yes, then the next day DH said how good it was that my parents were talking to Dani, because she is talking up a storm...... :?: are you for real?? I think he is bipolar :lol:

[sophie'smom]

Great pictures Clau!!

Ladies, it looks like our DHs were maleessing yesterday (the male version for PMSing, lol)

Dh was sooo annoying I went to bed early, he was watching boxing so laud it was making DD all wild, then he complained why she wasn't going to bed on time, hello!!! maybe because the TV is blasting??!!!

MEN!

And since I left home all pissed and didn't kiss him, now he wants to go to Tampa with me, lol. Good for me. He will be the driver :D

[Jenny]

Argh! I so want to go to BG!! If I can find a sitter for Ronin I might be able to go to class on Friday instead of Saturday and the girls will be in school on Friday. Sucks.

[sarahlynn]

Claudia...

Here is the link to the photos I posted from the drum circle:

http://americanpregnancy.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=137608

great pics jenny...lucea loved the drum circle we went to last summer...ill have to take her back this year..

sorry about the fight bel

claudia sorry your family is leaving :(

[newmami]

Oi Jenny, can you send Ronin to my house?? My mom can take care of him!!!. If I could, I would leave to tampa on Friday and babysit.

So for those of you who have been married more than 6 years.... did you got the 7 year itch??? My mom mentioned it yesterday, so I am like hmmm...... there is a thought.....

[bel]

girls would I be able to leave him???

[newmami]

girls would I be able to leave him???
:shock: :shock: :shock: Leave Oscar??????? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Was the fight that bad Bel?? I am so sorry!!!

[sja1508]

She's not leaving Oscar....he is too cute! Just make him pay for it for a while Bel! :twisted:

[bel]

well it wasnt a fight actually, i just had to see his poo face all day long.
he just came and we went together to the bank, he didnt speak me a single word :roll: neither did I.
Im tired of him being so selfish he wont understand he has kids and he can only do what he wants too, sometimes we dont do only what we want to, we should leave our comfy life and try to spend some quality family time, yk?
I love him to death, Im just tired of him.

[sarahlynn]

aww Bel i know..its hard..sorry your going through that.. :( Matt doesnt realize this at times as well..its not all about huntng, golfing and that crap it has to be about family sometimes to not just 15 min a day on the weekends :roll:

[sophie'smom]

Our marriage conselor and MIL told us about this :lol: I think we had a pre 7 year itch last year, if you want it to work, it will. But a marriage is a 2 people job.

If he is reluctant to work out with you then he is the one with the issue. ARRGG I wish I could kick Steve on the butt!!

[without]

I 100% think some people get the 7 year itch! I know I did! I dated Mr. Wonderful for 8 years and totaly runied a good thing because of the 7 year itch. Grant and I had benn married 6 years when he runied it with his pre 7 year itch. :roll:

[bel]

Im sorry Pam :?
well we didnt had it I guess, we have been married for almost 10 years...
maybe we are getting it now :roll:

[bel]

just call me mrs Piggy :? I just had for lunch milanesa sandwich and fries :shock: nad coke :roll: yeah, I suck.

[Momto3]

Ack! So my parents have decided Orlando for Thanksgiving is too much :( So now we are not sure. My kids are excited to go...and now we might not. I know it is so far off, but blah!

Oh how I wish Claudia!!

I've been married 8 years in just a few weeks. Neither of us got the 7 year itch. What exactly is the 7 year itch??

[lexsmama]

Back! Dr said my salivation glands are off, nothing bad. Take motrin and suck on lemon drops. Woo hoo. I'm such a weenie. Oh! And I weighed in at 194! :shock: :shock: I NEVER thought i'd see that number again!

[sarahlynn]

Ok so i am insensitive huh? my coworkers wife just had a new baby..and they have a baby who is less than a year still..and he comes into the office like UGH OMG UGH OMG.. :? and than says "we just cannot believe the baby isnt sleeping better" :roll: :? WTF the baby is 3 days old..DUH!! get over it..you had two babies in one year deal with it..ya think it was gonna be a walk in the park..SHEEESH!~ :shock: i should be more sensitive huh :(

Send me his e-mail. :wink:

[bel]

nah! they should be more realistic :lol: :lol:

[Jenny]

Oh, so from reading the posts the 7 year itch means you cheat or want to cheat? No, never got that urge and neither has dh. We've pretty much both said that IF it ever got to that point, we'd seperate before we'd sleep with someone else. Not sleep with someone and then seperate.

[Momto3]

They can be so clueless...He didn't have any problem making the babies and now they are supposed to be perfect well behaved angels at 3 days?

[sarahlynn]

i think that would be best...part ways before that happens..i dont think many couples do that though and it makes things very hard on everyone..i told DH that as well..if you ever even get the thought to do it..please talk to me and leave before you act..

[Momto3]

Yeah us too. Thats the way we see it.

[sarahlynn]

today starts my diet.. :( cys birthday is coming up and i thought OMG i need to get into a bathingsuit..i have been eating so much lately..i eat all the time at home cause i just feel blah..i think lack of relationships with DH ist he reason..i am like who cares ya know.. :( and with summer coming up i want to work out and feel better..so today my lunch is so small..i almost panicked gettin it ready..a small cup of fruit salad and small cup of chicken spinich alfredo :( BAH ilove to eat

[newmami]

nah! they should be more realistic :lol: :lol:

yes!! that is the same thing I thought

Bel, I am sorry that Oscar is being selfish... I realized that for most men, when they become parents, they think life goes on as it did before kids, and they are still their selfish selves :roll:

No I don't feel like cheating, Lord knows I already have enough problems with one wanting sex 24/7 :roll: .... my thing is that we are growing apart and we are very very different on basic things... I am willing to accomodate, but he is not, and now I am tired of it... for me it is more I want to be alone itch...... guess that happens when you go an rush to marry someone you really don't know that well :?

Diets.... I had that simply harvest for breakfast (I think it is better than oatmeal) and lettuce and grilled chicken for lunch, with an apple. I am tired of being fat, so I am working on eating better.... I have to do this for myself

ETA, Ashley, I am glad the Dr visit went well.... is that weight good or bad for you???

[AshleyElizabeth]

Diets-I've never been so good at them. Granted, I'm tiny as is, but Icould eat healthier. I just love my pizza & burgers. I should work on that this year.

I've never been with someone long enough to have th "7 yr itch" but, I'm sorry that you're itching to be alone. Have you guys talked about it? Maybe he is feeling the same way? Then it was be easy to remain friends for the kids, KWIM?

[lexsmama]

Never had the 7 year itch. Haven't been with dh 7 years yet, but I don't think either of us will hit it. We're doing everythign we can to keep ourselves out of a rut.


ETA, Ashley, I am glad the Dr visit went well.... is that weight good or bad for you???

That's not a good weight. I am a normal 140. Anything less and I look sunken in. I can't believe I've let myself go! Dr said tha tsome of my weight is attributed to baby, but I can get back in shape with no problem, if I want it. I do, I just can't motivate myself to take away more time from Lex and dh than I already do. :(

Btw, diets suck. Today, I had part of a low-fat pop tart for breakfast and for lunch~ salad with balsamic spritzer and a little lean beef. I was kinda proud. I need to find a breakfast that sticks to you better.

[sarahlynn]

so how much would be a realistic amount for DH to spend on his trip to Iowa for a funeral? he stayed with his parents so no cost there.. i told him we have no $$ so dont spend and first thing he does when he get sthere treats himself and a freind to food fo r$40 bucks..and i just noticed he took $40 in cash out..FOR WHAT ?????? i am not happy

thats what bugs me Jenny isaid to him do you want to take cash along or just use the check card..ill just use hte card nothing i need..THAN WHY THE 40 WITHDRAWALS YOU **** :evil:

[without]

GREAT now don't I feel like the bad girl for having the 7 year itch! We had been dating 8 years Started dating when I was 11 and I had the itch at 19 but we were not married. Sigh... Now don't I feel like a naughty girl. :roll:


Oh,,, I will have to post my diet food for the week end not bad but I could have done better.

[Momto3]

Ashley - Have something with protein in it for breakfast. Protein is harder to digest and therefor stays in your stomach longer and you feel fuller longer. Like some low fat cottage cheese.

[Jenny]

That would bug the crap out of me too Sarah.

[sarahlynn]

That would bug the crap out of me too Sarah.

im not happy...at all..he knows we were really low on funds i told him 500000 times before he left and while he was gone..he doesnt get it..i am so ready to say f it and let us go under cause i hate being stressed about $$ all the time when he doesnt care..there is no reason for spending down there he is staying with family and doesnt need to spend..it was bad enough we charged $250 for a an airline ticket now he spends and i just noticed the $40 withdrawal could put us in the hole till thur when i get paid..its like this every month he is so bad with money i cant keep us floatin anymore :cry:

[bel]

i dont wanna go home! :cry:
I feel guilty about my babies because I didnt go for lunch and I said Ilw ould go earlier, but I just dont wanna see him...
should I wait one more hour?

[lexsmama]

I guess some cottage cheese and fruit could work. Or maybe egg, lean sausage, and potato scramble??

That'd be really annoying, Sarah.

[Jenny]

Oatmeal. I love oatmeal for breakfast. Sticks to my belly like glue :)

[lexsmama]

Mmmm... I love me some oatmeal. I got burned out when I ate it every morning with Lex. I'll try it again in the morning! Thanks! :)

[newmami]

I agree with Lynn, protein for breakfast is the best option!
Try making some taquitos with ham or turkey and stuffed with cheese... oh so good!

Ugh Sarah, I hate when DH and I disagree about money. That is why I am going to put my pay raise in MY account, and have that as savings

Bel, I am so sorry it is so bad with Oscar..... seriously I don't understand some men.....
Dh goes around saying is that the only thing he cares about is my happiness and that if I am happy he is happy... then he acts so selfish it is ridiculous!!! and then he blames ON ME that he is not happy!!! yesterday I told him it is a little too off that he bases his happiness on me and my decisions, that he should do a little more BY himself

[without]

Sarah... I am sorry about the money issues! Why is it that men never seem to get money? :roll: I think he should have called you before he took the 40 dollars out.

Bel... don't put it off go home and get it over with if you don't your just goint be sitting there stewing about it any way. Hugs! It will be Ok. Men just suck some times.

Pam, I seriously think you need to eat some proteins. Your calorie count is a little too low, and if that happens, your body goes to starvation mode and keep ACCUMULTING FAT!!

What worked best for me to lose weight was a small amount of carbs in my diet, plus work out. But you need to cut carbs, not proteins

[bel]

I have a headache!
I just went home to pick up my mom (is few blocks away) and I saw santi riding his new tricicle and ceci her new huge bike!!! :lol: Im gonna go there and head up to the pool! :D
ETA: Those are the presents the 3 wise men brought them yesterday :D

I'm the same way, Lynn. I look like a total pig on paper, but it adds up right.

How can I add proteins with out adding meat? any ideas? I thought cottage cheese was a protein and beans. See this is why I need yalls help. :)

[bel]

where did my saratoo go?? :? to spank matt?? :lol:

Here's a good chart!!

[without]

Thanks! So as long as I keep up with the beans and maybe add a little more dairy to the picture maybe I can get more pro. with out having to eat meat. Thanks!

[bel]

are u guys working, sleeping or what?!?!?!?
ding dong!!!!!!!!!!!!! am I alone here???

[Jenny]

are u guys working, sleeping or what?!?!?!?
ding dong!!!!!!!!!!!!! am I alone here???


Sigh...I'm here. Back and forth between my university page and here. And running outside to make sure the trio are okay with their sandbox. :D Only 45 more minutes until I leave for class!

[Momto3]

Ok here is a sample day. Pam it won't help much since you are trying not to eat meat. Vegetarian?

Breakfast:

I alternate days of 2 eggs (usually microwaved at work) or 6 0z of 1% cottage cheese
1 fruit
1 starch (3 melba toast, 1 rice cake or 1 slice diet bread)

Snack:

1 protein supplement (usually in the form of Oatmeal (Quaker has a weight management oatmeal that is high in protein)

Lunch

8 oz of Chicken
2 cups of Salad (which equals 2 servings of veggies)
1 fruit

Mid-afternoon snack

1 fruit
1 protein supplement (in the form of pudding or hot cocoa)

Dinner

7 - 8 oz fish OR 5 1/2 ozs Lean Sirloin
2 servings veggies


Basically what it boils down to each day is:

3 servings of protein
3 servings of fruit
4 servings of veggies
2 starch
1 fat (either lite mayo or lite margerine)

[newmami]

That sounds pretty well balanced Lynn, I like it!

I am actually working, sorry!!!

[Momto3]

BTW: ladies - I'm having an online Tupperware party if anyone "needs" anything just pm me your e-mail and I'll add you to the list.

[lexsmama]

I pmed you, Lynn!

My head's soooo not in the game today. I feel too tired and sleepy-foggy to do anything right. Headache coming on, I think.

[newmami]

Ignorant question... how do those parties work??? :oops:

[Momto3]

Ignorant question... how do those parties work??? :oops:

Not ignorant at all.

You get to borwse the catalog online without having all the pressure of being with a consultant in front of you. If you need something, your order it and I get credit. I love those and book parties so much better. I used to sell Tupperware in my former life.

[newmami]

When is it?? if it is during work hours, count me in!!

[Momto3]

When is it?? if it is during work hours, count me in!!

I would just get your e-mail address and they send you the book to look at at your leisure. Any time you want to look and as long as you want to look (for 14 days)

[lexsmama]

I got the fire taking out some of the products message on the tumblers... :(

[sarahlynn]

where the heck is Bel?

did she go home to kick O's butt :shock:

[lexsmama]

I know! Dh just came and got Lex's carseat. Man, I want to go home.

[Momto3]

Its gonna be a long week as this is my first full week back to regularly scheduled programming...

[lexsmama]

Oooh, so sorry Lynn. It's dead around here.

Oooh, I found popcorn...

[Momto3]

Oooh, so sorry Lynn. It's dead around here.

.

It had to happen sooner or later!

[sarahlynn]

[lexsmama]

You don't need them Sarah, unless you share. :wink: :lol:

[bel]

morning ladies!! Im always earlier than everyone here! **** summer :lol:
yes saratoo I went home earlier since i didnt go to lunch!
santi is starting to swimm :D he only wnats to jump :lol: he does it perfectly, still drinks some pool water, but because he wants to :roll:
didnt exchange one single word with oscar, I wish I could thow thru the window this love I feel for him...
Im going alone to the summer house on thursday alone, Im not even asking him to come with us. Maybe Ill spend my b-day with my family only, not him, we shall see...

[Momto3]

Morning Ladies -

Bel - I hope everything smoothes over for you and Oscar. He needs to spoil you on your Birthday!

[lexsmama]

Morning ladies!

I hope things get better, Bel. Especially before your birthday!

[without]

thanks for the tips about eating! Bad news!!! I forgot to pick up my lunch! Ugh! Its still on the kitchen table. Finding a lunch around here that I can eat will be hard. Its amazing how hard it can be for a non meat eater to find some thing to eat (on the fly) that isn't junk food. :roll:

Bel... I am so sorry. I hope your birthday is a blast with or without your DH's being nice but I really hope he shapes up and starts being nicer!

[bel]

he doesnt exist right now :roll:

[lexsmama]

Are you anywhere near home? Can you pick it up? Oh man, I know how it is. I left mine and had to go back for it...

[without]

home for me is almost an hour from my work (one way). :roll:

[lexsmama]

Eek. I'm sorry.

[without]

That would be a 2 hour drive to get lunch so I guess I am stuck with chuging water for lunch or eating breakfast twice. :wink:

[bel]

pam can you get a cesar salad?!?!? or light soup?!??! dont worry about the calories too much, even if they have more than you need, if you have veggies (I mean comparing to bread, rice or spaghetis) you will be fine!!
Dont starve your self hon, you can always have something lighter for dinner or tomorrow :wink:
One or two apples and a yogurt can make a good snak as well...

Go figure me talking about diet :roll: I know every trick, I just dont follow them :roll: :roll: :roll:

[without]

I need to look up and see how many cals my Quaker Instant Oatmeal has in it maybe thats what I will have for lunch. (if its not to high in cals)

[newmami]

Go figure me talking about diet I know every trick, I just dont follow them

Sounds like me Bel........ :roll: :lol:
I am sorry that Oscar is being a butt Bel..... I have a friend who has been married for like 20 years, and she says when there is love, everything can be fixed... I know love is something you and Oscar have in abundance, so I hope you can fix this problem... but yes go have fun with your family!!

Pam, can you get soup or salad for lunch???

when I was driving home yesterday I thought maybe I was too critical on DH, so I am going to start a diary/blog, and try to be as objective as I can, and see how much he really helps, and how much I am blindsighted.... so far it doesn't look that pretty, specially when it comes to helping with the kids.......

Anyways, I dropped my dad at the airport this morning :cry: I cried like a baby yesterday night, and after he left.... my mom is still home with me :D but it is becoming very hard to be far from HOME ... if Home is where your heart is, mine is in Mexico City..... :cry: :cry:

I have fish and broccoli for lunch, and a pear. I like Lynn's diet, so I am trying to be a total copycat!

[lexsmama]

Lynn's diet is great. I'm going to go for it.

I had Weight Control oatmeal for breakfast, and I brought a salad for lunch (with cottage cheese on top!), with Jello as my sweet. I have an apple and 100 calorie pack of goldfish, just in case.

[Momto3]

[I have fish and broccoli for lunch, and a pear. I like Lynn's diet, so I am trying to be a total copycat!

You guys go for it! It has been working for me so well and I don't feel hungry and obviously from all the food I listed, I'm not starving myself!

I'm so proud of you guys! You can do it I know you can! My last 20 are going to be the death of me yet!

[sarahlynn]

umm would i be a bad wife if i forgot to pick up DH at the airport :shock: :lol: its been so peacful at home the last 4 days

[without]

Sarah....go for it! Tell your DH that you were about to go but you didn't want to run out of gas and be stranded by the road with the kids. Wait you might want to pick him up any way what if he takes a taxi those things cost to much! :wink: :lol:

Lynn....I have several people tell me not to starve myself funny thing is its rare now that I feel hungry. The first few days were killer but not as much now if I feel hungry I eat some thing but I try to make it a fruit ya know.

So here is yesterdays food. I have a bad habit of thinking I need some thing sweet at night. Do you think the OJ is a bad snack? I know it has a lot of sugar but its got to be better for me than most sweets right? What do you all eat when you crave some thing sweet?

[newmami]

The way I feel tooday my dear Sarah, you would be a SMART WIFE if you forgot to pick Matt from the airport

I decided that after we finish the bankruptcy issue, I am going to see a Family attorney

[Momto3]

Pam - Could you do the suger free jello at night? That way its something sort of sweet w/o all the sugar. Oh and you need to start your day off with some breakfast, not just water. As soon as you eat your bodies starts burning it so it is sluggish if you wait until lunch. Eat girl!


Claudia - Hugs to you. I know how hard it is to decide about family law attorneys. I know that your family is a great support staff for you.

[newmami]

I NEED to know my rights as a parent, and the chances of me taking the kids back to Mexico IF I end up leaving DH.

If that doesn't happen, my plan A is to move in with Pam and Morgan. Plan B would be to find someone else and let him take care of me and my kids :mrgreen:

[lexsmama]

Oj needs something to offset all the sugar, or you'll crash.

For sweets, I'm starting to go with sugar free jello pudding and jello with fruit in it. You could do a cup of milk with sugar-free chocolate syrup in it, too. It was low-cal. Maybe cottage cheese with fruit? I also do 100 cal packs when I'm in a bind.

[without]

Thanks for the ideas! I will look at the sugar free jello stuff this weekend.

some breakfast, not just water.

I have been working on that but yesterday I bomed because Morgan and I sleep in to late for breakfast. :oops:

well **** girl your ahead of me at least you have a plan...i need a plan..

[lexsmama]

I lost it last night. I had an all out cry-fest around bedtime. First, I found out that I was 194 lbs. Not cool. Then, I found out I was denied financial aid for Spring, so I have to delay graduation. Then, I found out I can't get the faculty/staff scholarship bcs I haven't worked here for 6 mos. Then, right as I was dozing off on the couch, dh says, "Time to do weight training!" And hods the weights over me. I went off. "You've had all night to help me work out, and you pick now?! Right before I fall asleep.. You jerk." And he gave me this look. Utter hurt and disgust. I lost it. I couldn't stop crying. I was sorry, I was tired, and I haven't had my prozac in a week... Sorry for the story..

[newmami]

HUGS ASHLEY!!!
Sometimes it seems that all goes bad, and the best thing you can do is cry it out, it does help

I hope things get better for you!! at least we can support each other on the weight loss journey!

[lexsmama]

I know it's a big ol' rant, but, I needed to get it out.

I hope things work out for you, Claudia! Big hugs!

[bel]

aww Ashley Im sorry, but Claudia is right! cry it out really helps

[sarahlynn]

Aww man Ashley i hate days like that or nights... :(

[sophie'smom]

Good Morning Ladies!

I booked our hotel and now we are ready to go. My question is: when, how and where are we buying ur tickets??

Do you think we culd get a group discount?

[lexsmama]

Thanks.

[Momto3]

Ashley -

I'm so sorry about your night last night. Today is a new day with new possibilities right around every corner!

[Jenny]

So the trio and I just washed my Excursion. OMG....what fun :) It was the first time that Ronin helped. Normally he just chills out in his wagon or stroller, but today he wanted in on the action. Took me three times as long, but it was three times as fun :)

[lexsmama]

That's awesome Jenny! I bet they had a blast!

We are on water restrictions too, but car washing is allowed as long as you have a water stopper on the hose. I prefer to wash my own vehicle. That way I can use my own soaps and make sure that what is getting put down our sewers is environmentally friendly :)

[newmami]

Sounds like lots of fun Jenny!! how cute that Ronin wanted to help

My car needs to be washed BADLY!!! :?

[sarahlynn]

if we washed our car now we would all be frozen to the ground :lol:

The outside looks good but I usually keep the trash in the front seat, lol. All my junk mail :lol:

[sarahlynn]

when the weather was so nice sunday i cleaned the whole inside of my car..it felt good..it was lookin pretty nasty

[bel]

why is this thread soooooooooooooo slow today?!?!?!

[lexsmama]

No idea, Bel!

It's nasty, icky, gross outside here. Ugh. I did make a pretty salad, though.

[sophie'smom]

I am so tired and busy at work, so I am sloooowwww.

Or did we run out of things to chat about?? :roll:

[sarahlynn]

hmmm DH couldnt get hold of his friend so the job of pickin him up is on me..

how i can i love someone so much but just not be happy... :( im just so unhappy lately..what the hell...

i need a counselor..is ins pretty good at covering couselors..?

[without]

I am making thank you notes from Morgan to her Grandparents and Auntie for a wonderful christmas and I am putting pictures of her opening her gifts so its taking me forever!

We are under a flood watch here so there is no need in washing my car and the inside oh my gosh all the trash is just a protective covering for the upolstry!

[lexsmama]

Can we ever run out of things to talk about? :lol:

Okay, I'm printing namebadges for our upcoming meeting. Should I print on purple paper or lavender?

[Jenny]

Aw Man...I just read the rest of the thread that I had missed.

I'm so sorry that so many of you are unhappy :( It makes me sad that you are sad :(

Ashely, I don't understand how you can be denied financial aid. Can't you apply for a student loan? They are guaranteed!

Claudia, good thinking getting all your ducks in a row. If needed, you should start to document all the crappy things your dh says to you in regards to the children.

Sarah. Hugs honey. Let him take a cab.

Pam you are doing great on your food plan :)

[lexsmama]

I had a couple of W's from last semester, which put me in bad standing with the university. They said I could go through alternate lenders, but "be sure to mention to them you're not in good standing with our office.." :roll:

[Jenny]

I had a couple of W's from last semester, which put me in bad standing with the university. They said I could go through alternate lenders, but "be sure to mention to them you're not in good standing with our office.." :roll:



Oh.....I'd get an outside loan, graduate and be done with it. And it's not like a W is failing.

[lexsmama]

They said they enclosed some lenders, but they didn't. Guess I'll be looking them up..

[without]

Wow! I had 2 W's in on semester and they didn't say any thing to me. I guess it depends on the school. Sorry about that! I am with Jenny I would go to an out side source just so you can get it done and over with.

[bel]

for those who havent go check Ceci as a flower girl´s thread :wink:

[lexsmama]

Well, I only took 2 classes... But it stilll sucks.

[Jenny]

I'd apply for outside loans and NOT mention a word about your academic standing. It's none of their business.

[lexsmama]

True.

[newmami]

I don't have school advise Ashley, I am clueless about that.... which is another thing that bothers me, when my kids go to school and all that, they will be talking about things I have no idea!!! I didn't went to school here, I don't know how it works, I don't know all the social aspects of school.... and DH would not help (I am sure of that)

I am pretending I am working... and I was browsing on the internet to see if I can find info about moving kids out of the country after a divorce... part of me thinks that divorce is too radical, and that I should work things out... but the other part of me tells me it is not worth fighting for, that I am just going to be miserable and things are not going to get better, no matter how much I fool myself. My DH is a selfish person and he is not going to change, because he hasn't changed in 2 years :?

[lexsmama]

I wish I had advice for you, Claudia. If you're that unhappy, go for it. I'd personally see what to do about working it out, but that's me. Can you try conseling before you make a final decision?

[Jenny]

Claudia as long as you are in Florida I can help you :) I've been thru public school, private school, public university, private univeristy. I know it all. :roll: :lol:

[Momto3]

I agree with Ashley!


BTW: Ashley...what is a "w"? I'm dumb.

[newmami]

I can suggest counseling, see how that goes. I suggested it once and DH said NO because "it always turns out to be my fault"... well mister, MAY BE it IS your fault!!!

Thank you miss know it all Jenny!! I would bugg you for help on the school issues!!

My family calls me (lovingly) The Professional Student :lol:

[lexsmama]

We cannot ahve over 195 hours attepmted, or we're denied any more aid.. ugh.

What I read..

Credit hours will be considered to be satisfactorily completed if one of the following grades is earned: A, B, C, D, or P. Grades of F, QF,W, WH, WF or WP are not satisfactory. If a graduate student receives a WH for Thesis Research or Thesis Writing, the hours will not be counted as hours attempted due to the length of time needed to complete this degree requirement. However, there is a two-year limit on Theses Research and Thesis Writing.
If you withdraw from the university prior to the end of the semester, receive all F's or QF's, or receive any combination of these, you will be denied for future financial assistance. This procedure will be checked at the end of each semester. You may reapply once Satisfactory Progress has been met.
Financial Aid is given to students enrolled for remedial courses (098 & 099). These courses are considered attempted hours and also count as earned hours for financial aid satisfactory progress. A student must make a grade of A, B, C, D, or P to remain in compliance.
Repeated classes are treated the same as any other class.

Claudia,
I am anti divorce when things can be worked out but at the same time I know it takes 2 people to work them out. You can't do it on your own and if he isn't willing to get help then there is nothing more you can do. I don't see any thing wrong with seeing what and who is out there to help you. I just want to see you and the kids happy. As far as school goes... I am praying by the time your kids start school you will be out of FL and closer to me so I can help. :wink:

Claudia,

My BFF is an attorney (business) and her dh is a family-law attorney. Would you like me to call her and ask what your rights are?

[bel]

Jenny please do it for me, I wanna know her rights :lol:
I just need to print out some flight tickets in my computer and go get her after that!

[without]

NOOOO!!!! Bel you can't have her!!!!

[newmami]

Awww Jenny, that would be wonderful!! I haven't been able to find anything online about taking the kids out of the country
if it helps, neither DH or I have family in FL. All his family is in CA, mine in Mexico

Bel, thank you for the offer to come get me!!!

[without]

EEEkkk I just noticed its 12:50 and I have not had lunch yet! Guess I should go make myself eat some thing. :roll:

[without]

ALLLLLLL......By myseeeeelllllllf..... Don't want'a be ALLLL........By myself...anymore


*sorry had to break out in song!*

[newmami]

I am sure we are all numbed by the sad news.......

besides I have to mail this stupid letter........ 150 of them!!! :evil:

[Momto3]

sorry. I'm sad. Anything I might post just seems meaningless. :(

[Jenny]

I am sick to my stomach. Ronin and Ella have been sleeping for nearly 2 hours and I just want to go and wake them up and make sure that they are okay. They usually nap for 3-4 hours, so I'm hesitant to go and wake them up or else they'll be too cranky. But I'm heartsick right now for baby hugs.

[newmami]

I hear you Lynn... I just want to go home and hug my kids, and then go hug Allison..... this is where distance kills me, because I wish there was something I could do for her

I am numbed too... that is why I am doing that stupid mail out, so I don't have to think :cry:

[newmami]

HUGS to every person who reads this...... I know we need them right now too!

[bel]

Oh man it´s so sad really...sadly we are sooooo far away :?
I wish we could all give her a group hug!! poor mama!!! that must be terrible, so terrible!! im crying again...

[without]

We are both in Arkansas I wish I knew where she was I would love to do some thing for her. :cry:

[CandiceLeigh]

Ok girls, I know I've been a flaky poster lately, but I'm sooooo sad. :cry: I was literally in tears at my desk. I even texted DH to tell him about it. It's just so awful and my heart is broken for Allison. Gah, I feel so helpless. I really wish I could do something for her. It's not like we're best friends or anything (I don't know that we've ever even "talked") but it still tears me up inside. :cry:

[newmami]

We should figure out if there is something we can do for her.... flowers or something?? sounds stupid, but I don't know what else we can do to show her our love, support and that we are broken with her

[CandiceLeigh]

I think flowers would be beautiful. Not stupid at all. How do we go about getting it together?

[sarahlynn]

:cry: i want to be with my babies...

[newmami]

If someone is willing to collect the money and order the flowers, everybody else can chip in. I wonder if someone has her address???

[ShannonG]

Was she on the Christmas card list?

[CandiceLeigh]

You should ask Christi (MarchMommy) since they were in November Due Date together. She may know it or how to get it.

[Jenny]

Christi will know.

I woke Ronin up. He's eating whole wheat crackers and dill pickle slices and slobbering me with kisses. I am so thankful right now.

[newmami]

Ok Ladies, I PM'd Marchmommy hoping for an address, if that is the case, I can use my paypal account to collect the money and order the flowers for Allison and her family. I would let you know if it is a go, as we need her address first

Everybody is welcome to participate!

[bel]

aww i wish I could do it, but I dont have a pypal account :?
will someone donate the money for me, I could send you something or buy something with credit card instead for you :?

[newmami]

Bel, I am sure you can create a paypal account, all you need is a credit card number and an email address (I think).....
Have you gone to Paypal and try??

[CandiceLeigh]

That sounds like a great plan Claudia. Thanks for being willing to set that up. :vibes:

[ShannonG]

I get paid on Thursday, I'd contribute for certain.

[preciousamor]

I know I've never posted in here, but I just wanted to say that I'd love to contribute. I've been wracking by brain for something to do all morning...just let me know. Thanks ladies!

:(

[Jenny]

I'd love to contribute too. Claudia can you PM me with your PayPal addy.

[Momto3]

I'd love to contribute too. Claudia can you PM me with your PayPal addy.

Ditto for me too.

[newmami]

I am just waiting to make sure we have an address. Once that happens, I will PM my paypal account.

Bel, OF COURSE I will add you on the flowers!!

[bel]

Thanks Clau! i owe you that :wink:
I wanna go home, I dont have how, I should wait my mom :roll:
