[sja1508]

OMG...I haven't really been on all day long and log on tonight to find this stuff out. I'm just dumbfounded. I'm so sad. I just put Zack to bed and I want to go get him out of his crib. I'm crying and saying prayers for Allison and her family right now.

Please PM me as soon as you have Paypal ready to go and I'll contribute.

[sophie'smom]

I know, today was a very crappy day at APA.

I still can't believe somebody would say something mean to a sobbing mom.

I hate when people just reply just because, it makes me think that some people just do it to get more post towards their following APA rank. :roll:

If you don't have something good to say, just shush the F up and don't hurt people. I was hirt once by a member who did not read my post before replying :evil:

We are waiting on MM and Claudia, they are trying to get Allison's address first and then Claudia will let us know where to send the money.

[sarahjill]

I know I don't post in here, but I'd like to go in on the flowers too if I can. I just feel so bad. No one should have to lose a child. :cry:

[MarchMommy]

[sophie'smom]

It will be tomorrow ladies, Claudia only comes here while she is "at work" :D

[willsmama]

I miss and love you all ladies! Hope I can come back soon when my brain isn't mush!
:D

[Momto3]

We miss you too Tracy! Do good at your new job!!!!

[bel]

morning ladies! I have a headache...
im still so sad, i dont wanna laught :?
saratoo how was meeting matt?
Tracy we miss you tons!

[sophie'smom]

Good Morning Gals!!

I COULD NOT SLEEP LAST NIGHT!! I was seriously disturbed and I had DD asleep in my arms for most of the night, then DH came and put her in bed. I miss her soo much!!

How are you feelig ladies?? I hope better than me.

[MarchMommy]

yea madi slept with us last night too. so it was all 4 of us. i kept waking to check on eden.

[sja1508]

I know, I had a horrible night last night. I kept waking up and checking on Zack with the video monitor. I would just lay there and stare at him, watching him breathe.

Tara and I had a discussion about getting the Angel heart monitor?? I think that's what it's called. I don't know if it would help prevent SIDS or not, but what happened to Allison has literally scared the crap out of me with this new baby on the way.

Anyone have any experience with this monitor or used it?? I was wondering how many false alarms it throws off?

[bel]

I dunno but I cant wait to hug my nephew, he was born on dec 24th, so tiny!
I can imagine loosing my babies :cry: :cry:
I wish allison would come today, at least she could see how much we love her and how sad her tragedy make us :cry: :cry: poor mama, I cant get over it...

[sophie'smom]

We never used the monitor but we still co-sleep. DD sleeps with me until DH gets home, he gets his snuggles fix and then puts her in her bed right next to us.

I used to get annoyed by DD and DH's snoring but last night that reassuered me that she was OK and breating :oops:

Ladies I want to go home. I don't have motivation to work anymore. I like my job but I just feel exhausted (sp)

I need to take a sabatic year :?

[newmami]

Hey Ladies.... my heart is still broken, I went home and my babies were napping, as soon as they woke up I held them for hours!
I am sad, and my heart hurts.... I cried all night and just writing this is making me cry.... it is just too sad for words. I wish I could go to her house and comfort her, let her cry and just be with her. I hope Allison and her family can feel our support

Anyways, I got her address, so anyone interested in donating for the flowers, my paypal address is cmedinamoon@earthlink.net. I see a big list of people, so if it a big chunk of money, I may send her something extra (I found a website with this beautiful rememberance things) with your OK. I will also post a picture of the flowers

I will give it couple of days for people to participate, and then I will order the flowers... I am going to start a thread with the info, so people can read without going through all this thread

HUGS to everyone.

[lexsmama]

Morning. I can definitely say that I hugged my baby extra last night. Oh, and dh was so shaken, he put the crib facing back on. He said he "wasn't ready just yet." Poor thing. He teared up, too. (I shouldn't have said that..) My heart hurts for the family.

[Heather J]

I couldn't sleep either. We co-sleep with Aidan, and I just kept snuggling closer to him. And I kept thinking about Allison all night and my heart just aches.

Stacy, I think stash has or had the angel monitor, but then she ended up co-sleeping with Oscar, so I'm not sure how much she used it.

Hope you ladies don't mind me jumping in this thread. I don't think I've ever posted in until yesterday. :oops:

ETA: Claudia, thank you for organizing the flowers for Allison.

[bel]

Heather we do need more themes to talk about :mrgreen: pop in more often! You are very welcome! everyone is :wink:

Stacy I misse dyou in msn yesterday, where were you??
How was Zack´s appt?? is the getting the ear tubes?? :?

Where is saratoo today?

Thanks Clau for doing this... :cry:

[sja1508]

Thank you Heather for the info. I'll pm Stash.

Sorry, I forgot to post about the appt. Zack is going to have tubes put in on the 21st :cry:

I knew it was going to happen but I was still hoping it wouldn't. At least he'll feel better and those infections will go away. We go to the dr tomorrow for a physical you have to have so they are okay with giving the anesthesia. I'll be on MSN today at lunchtime!

[sophie'smom]

Aww Stacy, sorry to hear about the ear tubes, but just think that he will feel better.
My nephew had ear surgery when he was 2 years old. We allways thought he was hard headed but it ended up that he couldn't listen to us :( now he is fine.

[bel]

Clau my harem owner said she will pay for mine too, thanks hon for everything!!
Iant she the sweetest!!! :mrgreen:

Awesome Pam!! I am so jealous, you are doing great with the diet
How are you feeling????

I will PM you the address Pam, I think she is a little too far from you... she lives closer to the LA border

[lexsmama]

Aaaw, Stacy. I'm sorry to hear about the tubes, but at least Zack will start to feel better.

We co-slept, so we didn't use a monitor. Lex slept on a chest or an arm.

Is Alison in Arkansas? We're like 30 minutes away from the TX-LA border. Is there anythign we can do?

[sarahlynn]

Stacy i am sorry to hear Zach needs tubes, but from a mama whose 2 kids have them it has been an amazing thing for my babies..some relief..

Bel i didnt pick him up..he was late coming in so my dad picked him up..we spoke maybe 10 words to each otherand i went to bed, and he slept on the couch as usual.

i feel so much better after only 2 days of eating better..its so nuts..i havent even really been dieting just eating smaller portions..i used to eat like a cow..i cut out my nightly bowl of cereal before bed and just feel better already..not to find time to fit a workout into my schedule..

[bel]

diet fever :D

[sophie'smom]

Great Job Pam!!

I am a terrible dieter, I can't do it unless someone is on my butt telling me what to do :oops:

I have been doing really bad but I am trying my best to redo myself. I am only eating soups for lunch with a fruit and then something small at dinner.

I need to go back to my bootcamo meal plan but it is so expensive to eat healthy, I am not kidding you!!

Who can afford salmon and wheat past twice a week with low fat everything and whole grain everything with tons of FRESH vegatables and kashi cereal?? If I do that it is usually $80 worth of 3 or 4 days of food just for me. I can't do that!! unless DH goes on the plan with me. FAT CHANCES :roll:

[without]

I am feeling good. I am batteling the ok ...I am not eating like a cow any more why don't i look like a model already! :lol: I know I know it takes time. Stupid time! :wink:

Rats! I was really hoping she would be closer to me!

[lexsmama]

I hear you. Dh eats fatty everything, which makes is so stinking hard to eat healthy. And Lex is on a food strike again. Ugh.

Great job yesterday, Pam! :D

[newmami]

I agree that healthy food is more expensive (produce in here is insanely expensive) but at this point, I NEED to do it
My mom is being very supportive, so that helps. I am reducing the amount of carbs I eat, and I know that makes a BIG difference

So yesterday I gave DH the silent treat, he got upset because we went to Costco after work without him :roll: . But kids needed diapers, anyways, I asked, he said yes I am upset, AS ALWAYS :roll: :roll: , so I just whatevered him.... this morning he was all sweets and mushy.

That reminds me, I need to buy lettuce because we ate the last one yesterday..... it is amazing how much salad fills you up!!

[bel]

cream sopus is what really, really fills me up :wink:

[lexsmama]

I had a really good chicken & dumpling soup last night that was very filling. I think it was broth based, rather than milk. And veggies!

[without]

OH you are so right about the money! That hurts but also what hurts is having to go to the store all the time! I mean I like to go once a month and since I have started eating fresh veggies not canned I am running to the store 3 times a week. :roll: Oh, well...its worth it to be able to get back in shape so I can play with Morgan like I used to be able to.


OK girls some one asked me what my goal was. Most people when you ask them that about a diet they give you a number. Is it silly that I don't have a number. My goal...is to run. :roll: Some day I want to be able to run! Its kind of hard because you know the saying you have to crawl before you can walk. Well... thats me I want to run today! but I have to crawl first. A brisk walk for an hour will wear me out! How am I ever going to be able to run. :roll:

[without]

OH! and the store near me doesn't have veg. broth! Why in the world would they have beef and chicken and not veg!?! :evil:

[lexsmama]

That's weird, Pam. No veggie broth?! Can you request it?

[newmami]

Pam, we all have our own goals, who cares what other people think?
My goal is to be healthy again, and not to puke when I see myself in the mirror... I want to be like my grandpa who always lived a healthy life and lived until 98... my parents have the same mentality.... and I want to be healthy for Chris and Dani, and to set a good example for them
Weightwise I don't have a set goal, I want to go back to size 12, that is it!

Stacy, sorry that Zack needs tubes, but I have heard nothing but good things after babies get them. I will give him extra loving next weekend

DH is the carb king, he hates fruits and most veggies, and I always accomodated to him. So now, I am making veggies for me, and tell him not to eat them if he doesn't like them... AND NO MORE CANNED GREEN BEANS!! I cook them :wink:

[without]

I think I am going to ask them when i go in tonight. I need more cottage cheese. :roll:

[lexsmama]

Go Claudia! :D

I'd do it, but it goes bad so stinkin' fast in our fridge... why?

[newmami]

You can always cook them a little bit and then freeze them... I do that for Danielle.
I am not a veggie lover, but I am making an effort... besides it is easy to eat salads when there is warm weather

Pam, want me to send you some vegetable broth??????

[bel]

the siggys are confusing me :roll: im so dumb

[sophie'smom]

I love veggies, specially broccoli :D I wish I ate broccoli everyday or spinach, ummm yum :)

I hate salads, I don't like salads or cold sandwiches, they make my tummy hurt. I don't like cold food unless it it potato or egg salad, lol

[lexsmama]

I had to take Lex's pic off a while in tribute to the little angels. I'll put one up again!

I can send you veggie broth, too, Pam!

I'll try to freeze. I have purple hull peas in my freezer right now. :)

They have me working! Doing stuff that makes no sense. "Changing file folder colors." Monotonous.

Btw, I was supposed to start Sunday, and here it is Wednesday. If I haven't started by Friday, I'm picking up a test. Maybe it's the new bc. I dunno.

[bel]

[lexsmama]

Wish you could too. :lol:

[sarahlynn]

is someone pregnant?????

[lexsmama]

Doubt it.

[without]

I don't put my fresh green beans in the fridge before I cook them but I also know that if I don't cook them with in 2 days of when I bought them they are going to go bad. You have to be so planful when you are eating fresh and light but let me tell you for me it has be worth it and after only a week I am getting used to it. The only thing I don't like is having to go to the store so much and dealing with all the people. I live in a small town so you know every on in the store (working and shopping) and they all want to talk. LOL

[bel]

Ash is :mrgreen:
seriously were you in BC?

[lexsmama]

I'm so scard, Bel. I weigh too much right now to have a baby. I have been on BC for a month now, after my 2 month haitus. Dh thinks there's no way, bcs "he doesn't feel anything" this time. I told him if I haven't started by Fiday, those sticks will grace our home yet again.

[without]

I bet Wal-Mart has veggie broth I try to go there only once a month to get things my local store doesn't carry but I think I am going to ask the manager if he will order the broth. I can't be the only one in Lincoln who need/wants it. :roll:

[lexsmama]

I'd ask. They're usually really good about ordering things people need. Do you have a natural foods store?

[without]

I'm so scard, Bel. I weigh too much right now to have a baby.

I am over weight got prego with Morgan had very little M/S with her but because I am over weight I didn't gain a pound! Infact I left the hospital 20 pounds less than before I was prego.

[lexsmama]

Wow. That's amazing, Pam. I only gained 17 lbs with Lex. I don't know. I'm freaking, as usual.

[without]

We do have a nat. food store its here in Fayetteville where I work. I love shopping there but only have the time to go once in a blue moon. They have silk milk in individual sizes! I love getting those for a snack. They also have flax seed chips. Yum...

[bel]

i was waaaaaaaay overweight when i got preggo with Santi, I lost some pouns the first 3 months because all wa sblah for me, I just wanted to sleep...then I just gained few pounds (otherwise I wouldnt be able to pass thru a door :oops: )
dont worry hon, but test sooner :wink: please?

[lexsmama]

I'd check the nat.foods store, Pam. And indiv sizes of Silk? Lex would be in heaven!

I will in the morning, if I haven't started Bel. I just have to figure out how to smuggle one of those things in the house.

[newmami]

I was also a little too heavy when I got PG with Chris.... but I would be scared too because of the chances of GD

[lexsmama]

Uh huh. I was so close last time... It'd be nerve wracking.

[sarahlynn]

im so unproductive today..

[newmami]

Just losing some weight makes a HUGE difference when it comes to avoiding GD
Anyways, I hope you get the answer you are looking for Ashley

I am amazed and overwhealmed by the generosity of people in here.... I just want to cry, but I would have all this people at work asking what is wrong???

[bel]

she hasnt come back :cry: this must we the hardest moment of her life, poor Allison :cry:
girls can I ask how is it with babies there? do you have a funeral? how many days after? catholics do it right away the next 24 hours.
Im sorry if this sounds bad, Ill just delete it if you tell me so.

[newmami]

Bel, it takes a while to make all the arrangements, I would say average 3-4 days. Then there is a viewing and then the funeral the next day....
I wish I could be there........

[lexsmama]

She's bound to be going through so much right now. I can understand Allison's lack of being on APA.

[bel]

oh I totally do to, I mean I dont even know how could she type yesterday! Im just wishing we can know she is ok, yk?

[lexsmama]

Bel, it takes a while to make all the arrangements, I would say average 3-4 days. Then there is a viewing and then the funeral the next day....
I wish I could be there........

Me too..

I pmed you, Bel, just in case it was a touchy subject, but I said the same as Claudia.

[bel]

thanks Ashley I replied it :wink:

[lexsmama]

[bel]

Im hungry. what can I have for lunch?

[lexsmama]

Hmm... a turkey wrap? Soup? What are you in teh mood for Bel?

[bel]

Woohper :oops:

[lexsmama]

Mmm... burgers. That sounds soooo good.

[newmami]

I read whopper and my stomach growled :lol:

Sarah, I am totally non productive today... wait!! I found flowers and a beautiful memory bracelet, and came up with couple ideas... THAT is productive!!
Doing all this is making me feel better!! like I am actually helping

[lexsmama]

You're doing great, Claudia! Wanna help me put fall semester grades into file folders for 2 online classes? :wink:

Aaaw, a memory bracelet? That's sweet! Do you mind me asking what it looks like? I made one for Shortysally before Christmas.

Just came back from lunch too!!
Ash, addicted to sweets?? I can see that, for real. I realized because of all the BS happening at work, I NEEDED to eat chocolate, constantly!! now I still crave it, but there is no chocolate around, so I drink water

I told Bel I was thinking about getting the pictures from the balloon release, print them and put them in a small album and send it to Allison, with a note on which mommy sent what.
Not sure about the Ethan pictures, I just don't want to make it worse for her

On the post from Sarahbaby, one of the persons makes teddy bears with the blankets from the baby.... I think it is beautiful idea, but that would be up to Allison....

[lexsmama]

They are hard, Claudia. They are. I didn't know her well, but it's so hard when any woman loses a baby. I lose it every time.

I was just wondering if there were anything I could do to help, Claudia. Let me know if there is. I'll be making a contribution soon.

Gaffff! Grrrrrrr! My husband's truck was just almost towed and he had to pay $100.00 for the driver NOT to tow the truck! He parked in a spot to save $7.00 but instead it cost us $100.00. How fricking stupid is that?!?!?!?!


Sorryy...

[lexsmama]

Ooohh... husbands... I'm so sorry Lynn!

It just gets better and better...I went to heat up what was left of my D&D coffee (half a large cup) and I put it on too long and all the coffee boiled out of the cup...cept for like a spit....its so fitting for the mood. :cry:

[sophie'smom]

Ladies I am soo pissed right now!!

I have a follow up apt. with my Dr. for my TT and I worked overtime on Monday so I could leave early today and didn't take lunch time today either, so I have worked 2 extra hours just to be on the safe side.

My Dr. called to reschedule my appt. to 3pm isntead of 4pm and I told my boss and he gave me crap saying that I am abusing. DUDE I didn't take lunch for 2 days and I am the one abusing??

I am so mad, I am leaving anyways!! I can't reschedule it because the next appt, is on 1/21 and I can't wait. My sides hurt and I need the doctor to tell me what the fluck is wrong!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[newmami]

Oh Lynn, I am sorry about the towning cost... :? and for the coffee burn.

I cannot work today, I have things to do, but I am just mentally not there. At lunch on the news they were talking about SIDS and I almost lost it.
It is so sad to look for flowers when you know they are for a little one... I am having a very very hard time :(

Bel, she is babyx306 I think, but I don't know her real name :oops:

Oh no Cecilia!! I hope everything is ok

So wouldn't it be nice if people at work cared about one?? I obviously look sad an NO ONE has asked (not that I would tell, but anyways).... makes me feel so important and appreciated here
Good thing I have my APA sisters

[sophie'smom]

My boss was pretty nice at the begenning, but people here abused him so I think "other" people (old managers) have told him that and he is different now, so unappreciative!!

I really work overtime most of the days and nobody could care. I moved boxes yesterday BY MYSELF and everybody said, ohh sorry, I would help you but I am soo busy, and me what?? I gues it was a game moving boxes when I CAN NOT DO THAT!! and they know it!!

The worst part is that I asked this guy to move ONE box and he gave me crap about it!! :twisted: :twisted: I am really mad and my mood for working is just GONE to the drain!!

In June or July!! I'm all kinds of excited!

I found ribbon similar to this:

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f144/litlebakergrl/pink20and20soft20blue20gingham.jpg

I thought about making some ribbons... How could I distribute them?

[lexsmama]

I think I killed the talking... :lol:

[without]

Every one seems to be working today! Whats up with that? :wink:

[lexsmama]

:wink: I worked my morning away. Now, I sit with a piece of well-needed hershey bar. I'll walk a little extra tonight. :wink:

[newmami]

They are making me work today!!!
The ribbon is so pretty!! I can send you my address if you want to send me one!

[lexsmama]

Sure thing, Claudia! It's a little more blue in it, but dang, it was pretty. I even found little sticky flowers.

[without]

Ugh! I think my rice finished cooking in my tummy and now I feel so full I can't stand myself. :roll:

[lexsmama]

Ooohh.. It's like grapenuts...

[without]

I learned a good lesson today. Never eat a cup of uncooked rice and then drink 40 oz of water. :roll:

[newmami]

Pam, why on earth would you eat uncooked rice??? that has to be a BOMB in your tummy

I have to do secretarial work... hate it!!!

[without]

I was in to big of a hurry to cook it and thought oh, well it will give my pea's some crunch. LOL Now I feel like this :yuck:

[lexsmama]

Oooohhh... That sucks. At least you learned... :wink:

Secretarial work is horrible. I'm making nametags for people rsvping to our feb. meeting one by one, as they come in. I'm sad.

[sarahlynn]

:shock: oh my to uncooked rice...you arent supposed to use that at weddings anymore cause birdies can eat it and get ill :shock:


is it 5:00..

i am trying to hold off on eating my snack till 3:00 its gettin hard..this portion control is for the dogs..i like me a big plate of food :?

[lexsmama]

Me too. I brought jello. That does nothing AT all. :?

[sarahlynn]

yeah i got a granola bar... :?


i keep telling myslef YOU FEEL BETTER THOUGH SO STICK WITH IT..

[lexsmama]

I think I can.. I think I can... I think I can... Choo Choo! :wink:

[without]

Yuck I can't do the sugar free Jello. And I can see why they say it will make birds sick! :lol: I know it sounds silly but at night I have started eating off Morgans little kid plates. It makes me feel like I am getting to eat a big plate of food. :wink:

[sarahlynn]

thats a good idea to eat off morgans plate..witha huge plate i put lots of food on it to fill it up..good thinking :wink:


eeek i am excited..its time to eat my granola bar :roll:


oh no oh no i forgot my BC pill this morning..oh darn no sex for me :?

[Momto3]

Yuck I can't do the sugar free Jello. And I can see why they say it will make birds sick! :lol: I know it sounds silly but at night I have started eating off Morgans little kid plates. It makes me feel like I am getting to eat a big plate of food. :wink:

At first I thought you were saying the Sugar Free Jello would make the bird sick and I was :? confused. The suger-free, fat-free, carb-free, taste-free life grows on you after awhile...

I just found out my teens Dad was arrested this morning for driving while license suspended (habitual) :roll: Its always something. $750 to bond him out. "Mommy, Casey only has $350 what should she do?" Um, go find more money...don't look at me. Is that mean?

I'm just a butt load of happy news today aren't I?

[without]

"Mommy, Casey only has $350 what should she do?" Um, gofind more money...don't look at me. Is that mean?

No its not mean! :wink:

[sarahlynn]

no not mean at all

[lexsmama]

Yuck I can't do the sugar free Jello. And I can see why they say it will make birds sick! :lol: I know it sounds silly but at night I have started eating off Morgans little kid plates. It makes me feel like I am getting to eat a big plate of food. :wink:

Very true! Get yourself a couple of really pretty salad plates and a gret cup. It makes the food seem bigger to the eyes and make you feel special.

[sarahlynn]

ahh i love feeling special...

where is stacy today? where is jenny today? bel went home...

hmmm

[lexsmama]

[sarahlynn]

I don't know, Sarah. Is it with the trip, or something else?

ist jsut i feel so ugh whats the word..unhappy :lol: unfullfilled?

i hate having a husband who sleeps on the couch 90% of the time..i hate sleeping alone everynight..i am a very physical person i need contact..i dont mean sex but just contact..holding hands..kissing..hugs..snuggeling.

im tired of him pettin his dog more than he touches me

im tired of not being able to tlak to him..communication is nonexistant with us..he cant talk he argues and yells..gets mad and defensive..feels attaked..no matter waht i say or how i go obout it..

ugh :( i feel like i am failin at marrige

[lexsmama]

You're not failing, he's having serious issues. Is he still hit by his health? I know Michael's health has really hurt him the past few months. Can you talk to him about it at all? Mayb ehe doesn't know what he's doing. Or... go join him on the couch. He'll have to go back to the bed then! :wink:

[sarahlynn]

:lol: yeah if i try squish onto the couch he wont haev a choice btu to move..i am gonna do that tonihgt i will update you on how it goes tomarow..

his health as far as i know (he doesnt talk much) is pretty good right now..i just dont think we are waht makes himhappy.. :cry:

[lexsmama]

I did the couch thing with Michael. It helped.

Just walk up and hold his hand. Sit with him and put his arm around you. Hug him. Try a few little things. It may open his eyes. Create a spark. :wink: Good luck tonight.

[sarahlynn]

i know i coudl do more or try more..but over time you get tired of being the initiator alll the time..y aknow..you start to feel like you are makin them do this stuff and interact with you

edited to say sorry i sound like i dont want advice..i lvoe your advice i am just so down right now.. :(

[sophie'smom]

Ladies I am back from the doctor's. It is late so I am sure most of you are home and this thread will probabl
y go missing tomorrow, but anyways, I need to let this out.

Well, the boss was pissed and he told me I was abusing him :shock: WTF?? I was so fumef because I didn't go to lunch for 2 days that gives me 2 hours, so I had plenty of time to cover for my appt.

I was so mad I left anyways. I am salaried so it is not going to hurt me or him :roll:

Once at the doctor she told me that the pain is usual because I am still swallen in the inside and all teh tissues and blood vesels are reconecting and that's why I feel the tingling and burning sensation. She also told me that I need a retouch due to the blood vesels she could take much fat out, so I am going back under the knife on February 15, she said it is a routine procedure because it is just lipo and I should recover in 2 to 4 days. I'll take the four thanks :wink:

So, now I am not going to tell my boss that I need a day off I just won't show up for work the friday before and the following monday is a holiday so I will have a good 4 days to recover.

My friend had lipo done only and she was up and in the gym a week later :shock: so this time it will be easier than last.

The best thing is that I won'y pay a dime :D I am so happy. Customer satisfaction :wink:

Nite nite, sleep tight :D

[willsmama]

I can't catch up at night, but again, I love you ladies! :)

[sarahlynn]

i want lipo on my thighs and butt and hips.. :D

yay for gettin it done free of charge...and havin 4 days to recover

hey tracy

[sja1508]

Hey all! Want to say hi before bedtime. Probably won't be on tomorrow either because Zack has an appt with pedi to get cleared for surgery and then I have a meeting and a conference call :shock:

Smooches!!!!

[sophie'smom]

Good luck, rest well :)

[bel]

morning ladies! hello?!?!? hello?!?!? who´s up?
well we made it up yesterday, oscar joined us (ceci santi and I) in the pool, something very unusual in him, so I knew he need some love :wink:
I was like are you coming with us? he said "no", then I told him "it´s ok, I can go alone with my family, sad for you, you´re gonna be lonely here" ha! he is gonna be there soon, soon :wink:
then we went to have dinner together, he know I love family times, and we dont get those often...such a good evening.
the of course we had sex, twice 8) once in the shower before dinner, then another for an hour after santi was sleeping :mrgreen:

How was it saratoo? did you join the coach?

yaya Cecilia for free lipo woot!

[sophie'smom]

Good Morning Ladies!!

Bellisima, yes! I am very excited and this time and not "that" scared of the pain, lol

I am soo gonna be ready for the summer 8)

[bel]

damit is summer here and Im not even near ready :oops:
maybe nest summer :?

[Jenny]

Good morning, ladies :)

Ronin and I had a wonderful day yesterday at Busch Gardens. I forgot how easy it is to go out with just one child. :lol:

There was a horrible 70 car pile-up on I-4 yesterday, about 1/2 way between where I live and where Claudia lives. Horrible. I-4 is currently closed and they don't know when it's going to re-open.

Next week for the meetup, it is also the day for the Gasparilla Children's Parade. That's always a load of fun.

[Momto3]

Morning Ladies!

Cecelia - way cool on the free lipo! I've had it done, but that was 13 years ago...and mine wasn't free!

Just some random thoughts.

I know that Katelyn dreams and has nightmares I guess you could call it because the other morning she said "Jenna, JENNA, (Jenna is one of our dogs), up" and held her arms straight up for someone to pick her up. She was sound asleep. Jenna is a Jack Russell and sometimes uses Katelyn as a spring board.

Katelyn will grab your hand and say "Rosie?" She wants to do Ring-around the rosie.

Happy thoughts, Happy thoughts!

[lexsmama]

Just walk up and hold his hand. Sit with him and put his arm around you. Hug him. Try a few little things. It may open his eyes. Create a spark. :wink: Good luck tonight.
i know i coudl do more or try more..but over time you get tired of being the initiator alll the time..y aknow..you start to feel like you are makin them do this stuff and interact with you

edited to say sorry i sound like i dont want advice..i lvoe your advice i am just so down right now.. :(

I'll start here and go back and read. :wink: I hope you had a great night last night, Sarah. I totally understand being the initiator. It's hard. Really hard. Michael had a rough patch with his health and it took everything in me to make sure we stayed "happy." I did everything, and all he did was hurt. He slept on the floor or the couch, stayed up all hours of the night and slept all day. I got mad. He spent no time with Lex or me, had no sex drive, and just wanted to sleep and complain. I finally broke down in tear and told him I couldn't do this anymore. He started taking his medicines and is doing much better, still with a few rough days... Omgoodness, I hate weekends...

[lexsmama]

Okie dokie! Morning ladies!

I hope you're staying dry today. We're wet and nasty around these parts of the country... :(

Dh asked if I knew anyone that lived near where the pile-up was last night. I said a few. He got a serious concerned look on his face and told me to watch the news. I hope you're all okay. :)

Good luck today Mr. Zack! I hope the appt goes well and you start feeling better soon.

Yay for free lipo! :D

[Jenny]

So the pile-up made National news? It was awful. They said so many people were trapped that they were bringing cell phones to them so that they could call their families b/c they didn't know if they would live or not. :cry:

[Jenny]

Oh, so I promised the trio I would take them strawberry picking today. It's at an organic hydroponic farm and I only have $65 to last me until next week. I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't do it??!! What would you do?? Go and then not spend any more money until your next allowance?

[without]

GM all!


How did it go Sarah?

Bel... thats great that you all made up

Jenny we missed you yesterday!

[lexsmama]

Yep, it made our local news. Of course, our local news is never local.. lol.

What dose it cost to pick a pint? Could you do a smaller amount?

[Jenny]

What dose it cost to pick a pint? Could you do a smaller amount?

This is the place. I don't see any prices listed. :?

http://www.baneshydroponicfarm.com/

[lexsmama]

Hmmm... It says call for pricing. But, it has all kinds of seasonal veggies... Man, I wish I could go! lol.

You could always call, or just take him to see what the farm's all about. OR! Oooh! You could tell him all about it and take him next week. Maybe do somethins artsy to do with strawberries. (I'm trying..)

[newmami]

Hey Jenny, we missed you yesterday! how was BG with Ronin???
About the strawberries, go have fun!! I believe if you promise something to your kids, you need to follow through!

About the pile up, yes it was National news!! it was terrible, when you see the pictures, breaks my heart.. So far there are like 40 people hurt, and 4 casualties :(

Yes Bel for making up!! I told you, Oscar and you love each other a little too much to let a stupid fight separate you

Stacy, good luck at the Dr's appointment for Zack. Come back when you can

Lynn, how cute that you can hear Katelyn dreaming!!! and sorry about your ex, but I agree that was the appropriate answer

So I am starting to feel bad for DH, he hasn't got any since Saturday, and I know it is killing him... I had a good night, so I will give in and give him some, heck! I may even enjoy it

I love having my mom here, my kids are soooo happy with her, they love her to pieces. And we had wonderful conversations (even things I never thought I would tell her :oops: ) and I have regained some internal strenght to go back to the person I used to be before I allowed DH to drag me in his ways (he is pesimistic by nature), and I feel better about myself!! she is even motivating me with the diet (she does so well dieting)

[lexsmama]

Yay Claudia. It's always good to make an attempt. And I'm glad you're having a good time with your mom. :)

Okay, Jenny. Claudia's right.

[lexsmama]

Oh, btw... Ms. Bel... It's bfn. AF made an appearance today. I'm sad and happy all at the same time.

[without]

OK girls here is what I ate yesterday
Wednesday January 9, 2008 229 (down 7 lbs)
Week 2

Breakfast
Black coffee
Yogurt 180

Lunch
40 oz of water
1 cup of Pea’s and rice 200
1 cup of black eyed peas 180

Dinner
Salad
-2 cups of lettuce 23 cals
-5 black olives 25cals
-1 cup low fat cottage cheese 180 cals
16 oz water
15 pretzels 100
2 tbs of French onion dip 50 cals

Snack
8 oz of OJ 120 cals
1tbs of Peanut Butter 90 cals

Total 1,148


My calorie intake is fine in fact I know it wouldn't have hurt me to have takenin a few more but.... for some reason I soon as it hits the thousand mark I start to feel guilt! The logical side of me knows that its sill and I need food the other part of me wants to lose weight so bad that any thing I put in my mouth feels as if I shouldn't be eating it.

Does any one know how many calories the body burns in a normal day just sitting in an office? I know I have to burn more callories than I eat to lose weight. Thats why it scares me when it gets up to a thousand I knoww it takes a lot to burn off a thousand calories.

[bel]

Oh, btw... Ms. Bel... It's bfn. AF made an appearance today. I'm sad and happy all at the same time.

LMAO! thanks God I forgot that yesterday or I wouldnt be able to focus on BD :mrgreen: dont be sad...when it will be it will be! :wink:

[Jenny]

Okey Dokey. We're off to go a picking :wink: Have a great day!!

[sophie'smom]

Yes Jenny! I saw the accident on TV, AWFUL!!

I had a client once that was involved in a 53 car pile up I75 South. After that all he wanted was MILLIONS for the damage, which was not much compared to the rest of the people. I think he settle the case on 300K because there was NO WAY he was going to get 1mill for such mnor injuries.

I am sorry for those people involved, it is sad :(

[newmami]

Not sure how many calories you burn from being in the office, but I am sure you make up playing with Morgan

Now if I could burn calories from being on APA.... I would be a size 0!!! :lol:

Ash, bittersweet about AF..... but you will get PG when you are ready!

[bel]

awww Jenny take tons of pics!
I love strawberrys yum!!! I have an awesome moouse recipe in case you wanna make some dessert :wink:

[Momto3]

Yum Yum on the strawberries Jenny!

Pam - Not sure about burning calories at the desk. Let me know if you figure it out.

Claudia - Very sweet of you to give in to DH. :wink:

Ashley - Hope you are happy with the AF results.


Sarah - How was last night? Inquiring minds want to know.

Stacy - Good luck today at Zack's appointment.

[lexsmama]

Pam! Go here...

http://body.aol.com/tools/calories-burned?sem=1&ncid=AOLHTH00170000000005

It's very bittersweet knowing AF is here. On one hand, my clock is screaming for baby #2, and my head says that I need to be healthier. It's okay. It'll happen when we're least expecting it. :wink:

[newmami]

I am trying to convince my dad to retire and be a full time Nanny!! but they don't like the hot weather :?
He told my mom on Monday he didn't wanted to go back to Mexico, he was truly sad :(

So I was getting some information about Ethan (for a donation in his name) and realized he was born the same day Danielle was born :cry: :cry:

Im sorry hon! you know where to find me if you wanna chat...

[lexsmama]

Bel, do we know if we added picks for Tiffany with Taela's balloon release? Claudia and I were just talking about it. She's having a rough go lately.. We wanted to do something special for her, too.

[newmami]

I didn't do balloons for Taela because I missed the time, but I can get some and release them for her!

[lexsmama]

Whatever we need to do... :)

[sophie'smom]

Sarah, I am sorry to hear that about your DH. Mine is the same way, he hates talking to me and then when I don't talk he gives me crap every time I call him. I am allowed to call him 3 times a day, grrr i am so mad at him now.

Pam, I don't see any fiber on your diet. You need to put in some fiber to get even better results, the more you poop the less you retain, lol :wink: I was told that in bootcamp/

[Momto3]

It is a very difficult thing Sarah. I am sorry you are going through this. But you are right, it is as if the two of you are roommates.

[Momto3]

Bel, do we know if we added picks for Tiffany with Taela's balloon release? Claudia and I were just talking about it. She's having a rough go lately.. We wanted to do something special for her, too.

I remember there being a post about the balloon release pictures.

[without]

LOL Poo'ing is a sore issue for me! (Pun intended) I take 4 fiber pills a day and then 2 stool soffeners and one Lax. And I still only poo about once a week. :roll: when I told the DR he said drink more water. I am already drinking water out the wazoo so I am at a loss.

It didn't go back past Dec 10th on NM, pictures, or General Preg... Argh.

[sarahlynn]

is there anything we can do besides balloon release for those of us who dont relsease ballons? i would lvoe to do something to remember that precious little boy :(

[bel]

yes, there was a thread but i believe there werent many pics taken, sadly.
well maybe we can do it again in her memory next month, today is her second month anniversary, she dead on nov 10 :?
so I say lets wait a while, organize a balloon release on feb 10th and make a slideshow for her?
what do you guys think?? or maybe we can make a donation because as saratoo told me yesterday balloons ar not friendly to wild animals

[lexsmama]

It doesn't matter to me. I just was thinking abou Tif alot lately, and wanted to do something for her.

[sophie'smom]

How much water are you drinking?? I know it was to be your weight divided by 75%, Me for example is this:

140lbs / 75%= 105 ounces a day. I remember I had to drink almost 3 liters of water EVERY DAY and the funny thing is that I was constantly thirsty and only went pee 3 or 4 times during the day.

I am a big time pooper, I usually go 2 or 3 times a day (TMI) hehehe

[newmami]

We can do balloons again for Taela, I don't mind!! actually I can do it this weekend. The donation is also a good idea, but I keep wondering if the balloons will bring a little happiness to her....

[lexsmama]

They just may. If you're all up for it, let's go for it!

How much water are you drinking


I went back and looked at my water in take and I am drinking between 80-90 oz of water a day.

[lexsmama]

That's great, Pam! I think I'm around 70 oz.

[Momto3]

How much water are you drinking


I went back and looked at my water in take and I am drinking between 80-90 oz of water a day.

Pam - that is perfect. Our diet place says 80 oz. If you drink too much, you lose your electrolytes or something like that.

[without]

Waters not so bad once you get used to it. :lol: You just have get past the mental though of fish having sex in there!

[lexsmama]

Eeew! I wasn't thinking about fish and sex and my water! I occasionally use crystal light packets to mix it up a little...

[without]

Oh but Crystal Light adds 5 calories! :shock: LOL

[lexsmama]

:shock: I did say every now and then... :lol:

[Jenny]

We're home! That was fast. The farm was MUCH closer than I expected. It only took us 10 minutes to get there and 8 minutes to get home!!

We picked a huge basket of berries and each had a smoothie :)

They got hit by the freeze and lost all their other produce :( Bummer too, I wanted some sugar snap peas!!

[sophie'smom]

Waters not so bad once you get used to it. :lol: You just have get past the mental though of fish having sex in there!

HAHAHAHA, I never thought of water like this before, lol

I drink crystal springs here and I have a water filter at home. I drink water all the time, never sodas, I hate them because they make me burp, lol unless there is no other option I'll drink sweet tea.

Jenny.
mmm smoothie, love it!!

[Jenny]

Fish? Sex? What did I miss??

Dude! I just ordered 93 pics off of Walmart.com! I'll never wait that long to do photos again... :shock: :oops:

[sarahlynn]

i love smoothies..

[Jenny]

my fish are virgins

i love smoothies..

What are you guys talking about?? Fish, virgins, sex?? You know I was a marine biologist, right? I'm confused. :?

[newmami]

Talk is about drinking water when you diet, and how you get used to it after a while
Then pervert Pam said it is OK once you pass the thought that fish have sex in the water..... :wink:

You guys, the amount of donations for Allison is INSANE!! I love this women!!!

[Momto3]

Dude! I just ordered 93 pics off of Walmart.com! I'll never wait that long to do photos again... :shock: :oops:

My order from Walgreens was 293 photos. Talk about waiting too long! They went all the way back to Halloween LAST year :oops:

[sarahlynn]

what do you do with all the pics..put them in albums? i have tons on my computer but never order them cause i dont knwo what to do with them..i dont have photo albums really...i made a online scarpbook and i am going to order that when i have $$ that has all the pics in it well the majority like 1000

[Momto3]

Yes. I had started a photo album (I'm not a scrapbooker) when she was born and along the way I keep putting pictures in there. We're on photo album two already and she's only 18 months. :oops:

thats so funny I just ordered my pictures too! I had 98 photos. I put all mine in an album and they are all labled with Captions. Morgan will be 2 next week and we have already gone through 4 big thick albums. :shock:

[sophie'smom]

Dude! I just ordered 93 pics off of Walmart.com! I'll never wait that long to do photos again... :shock: :oops:

My order from Walgreens was 293 photos. Talk about waiting too long! They went all the way back to Halloween LAST year :oops:

I just got my pics from the cruise, they were $175 after editing them and deleting the bad ones, I used snapfish with a new account and got 50 prints for free :D I hate their shipping prices tho, ridiculous!!

[without]

I forgot about Snapfish! I like having my sent to Wal-mart because its a good way to remind me to get a new photo album. :oops:

[lexsmama]

I scrap the ones that I love the most, which is hard to do, and then the rest go in his photo album.

I made broccoli & rice last night... I love today's lunch.

i had mangoes for desert! yummmmm!!!
we have tons of mangoes trees all over the city, they are everywhere with tons of mangoes in all street floors...
they were sooooo sweet yum!

[lexsmama]

You know, I have never had a mango..

[Momto3]

Ok yummm Ashley and yummmm Bel! Love Mangoes...not too good for the diet though. Those babies are high in sugar!

[lexsmama]

Really? So are grapes, unfortunately..

I used low fat stuff and brown rice. It turned out alright. Not like my mom's, but enough to satisfy the craving. :lol:

[Jenny]

I do not like mango's. Or papaya.

[lexsmama]

I'm not a big papaya or passionfruit person, but kiwi... yum-o! :lol:

[Jenny]

I'm not a big papaya or passionfruit person, but kiwi... yum-o! :lol:

Think of the sweetest most juiciest peach you have ever had and multiply that times 100!

[Jenny]

Nope, just the university postcard.

[lexsmama]

Darn. I am so stinkin' excited for Haley to get the Texas card.

[bel]

jenny I knew you didnt like mangos I dont like papaya either...
passionfruit is everywhere here also! i make an awesome ice cream with it, but i only like it when is mixed with cream, because is a little bittersweet in my book...

[bel]

jenny i cant wait until she starts southamerica!

[lexsmama]

Hmm... it has a distinct, weird taste to me..

[without]

I don't like most fruit but have not tried a whole lot of it. I would hate to buy it and then not like it. I really wish I did like fruit it looks so cool and refreshing. :lol:

[sophie'smom]

I don't like fruits unless I can eat it with salt, lol (oranges, green apples, grape fruit, any citrics)

I eat apples in the summer because they have a lot of fiber. One apple a day keeps the doctor away :wink:

[sarahlynn]

im still hungry

[lexsmama]

Apples are so good, but they give me acid bumps on my tongue every time.

[without]

I ate an apple every day last week. I like apples OK.

[lexsmama]

Love your little avatar, Pam.. :lol:

My sister and I used to sing that song but we changed "Sex" to "Soup" so that we wouldn't get into trouble. :lol:


Girls I ate lunch

10 black olives 50 cals
