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

[newmami]

Candice, it is ok, you don't have to talk about it... just know we are still here supporting you, ok?

Pam, I hope the doctor can give you some guidance... the time I lost more weight was when I put myself in hands of a nutriologist and followed a strict rule!
I just need to remind myself how good it feels to be HEALTHY and leaner!!

I am doing this Course for our bankruptcy discharge... DH should be the one taking it!! :pokey:.... he may learn couple things....

[sarahlynn]

morning

[willsmama]

Candice... its ok to not talk abou it! Just know that no matter what we are here for you!

YAY! :)

I am doing this Course for our bankruptcy discharge... DH should be the one taking it!! :pokey:.... he may learn couple things....
Isn't that the way it goes!!! I think both people should have to take it. Its not like only one person spent the money. Ugh!

[lexsmama]

Hey guys, thanks for all the support you always give me. :hugs: I don't really want to talk about the Chris situation right now, but I will in time. Love you guys.

morning
:hi:

[CandiceLeigh]

Umm, is anyone else's default setting purple? I don't like it.

[newmami]

Yes!! I don't like the purple either... I changed it to the green again... more calming and discrete!!

[CandiceLeigh]

When we 1st got the different options I had changed it to purple, but then I didn't like it so I went back to default. So I want the default back! I will have to change to green for now I guess.

[lexsmama]

I'm on red.

[Momto3]

Okay, I just got back from lunch, read everything to catch up. Man you guys can talk!

Claudia - Is DH's trip down here? Come with .....

Pam - Hope the doc can help. I know how frustrating it is. Maybe your body has regulated to the calories taht you are eating and you have to shake it up a bit.

Candice - Hugs

Ashley - That sucks about little bits shoes! How your day settles down.

Sarah - Morning!

Tracy - WTG on the run! You are amazing!

Candice, I am purple but I like it LOL

posted in random as well but i need to be hapy for a moment.

i just found out the childrens special health services in ND will cover the additional costs for cys heart appts that our ins doesnt cover..which means the $225 bill at home can go in the trash :silly::wub:

[lexsmama]

:hooray: Awesome!!

[lexsmama]

I was told I could go home eat 4, but I have a web cam session at 4... Crap.

[lexsmama]

I love Cafepress... And their Election shirts.. had to share.

[without]

GREAT NEWS Sarah!!!
I love things like that!

Ashley, I like the shirt that has 2 ice cubes and a baby... "Ice, Ice Baby" LOL

[lexsmama]

I was looking at election shirts. Dh said that I could order the mom one that ruined, and I want this funny McCain shirt...

[CandiceLeigh]

That's great Sarah! :hugs:

Yay Sarah!

[newmami]

Yay Sarah!! that is wonderful news
I am finally done with the stupid course... my brain is dead now.... and we had ice cream social, so I am stuffed, as in my stomach hurts! :/
I like the shirts from cafe press as well, I want to get the ones with dinosaurs that they personalize (like Danisaurus, they are too cute). And I was looking for one with the mexican and the US flag, but the ones they have are crap.......
So how do you find gyms for your little ones? Dani has been into summersaults and all that, so I was thinking about looking for gymnastic class for her

[CandiceLeigh]

I don't know Claudia, phone book? I don't have Chris in any kind of classes. When he gets a little older though, I want to get him into either tee ball or soccer. He would be so cute in those uniforms. :wub:

[without]

That reminds me I promised Morgan I would call and see how much the gymnastic class cost. Hmmm... need to do that today!

[sarahlynn]

the one the kids are in is $60-65 for 8 weeks...kinda spendy but cy loves it so much..i hope lulu does to..

20 min left for me ladies...i hope my boss agres to let me rotate friday hours with the other two ladies here in the office..ide have two fridays till noon than one till three and like that instead of all till three..cross your fingers for me..

i was bad i scheduled a massage tonight at 5

[without]

OK I am taking Morgan to Mommy and Me gymnastic on Tuesday at 6:45-7:15. Its only 35 dollars for 4 weeks(I am sure my mom will let me borrow it :) ). I didn't want to do a Mommy and me class I am scared to death to have to get out there and do any thing myself! But ... Morgan wants to do it and hey it will be good for the diet too by just moving around. LOL

[without]

Ahh... I need a good back rub down! I have been so blue about the whole using up the money and filing the papers thing that I called my mom to see if Morgan could spend the night with her on Saturday just to give me some time to be alone... Well, she can't! She has a date with my dad. :( I am now feeling bad for wanting some time alone.

[newmami]

Crap Pam... I wish Dh was going to AR, I would babysit Morgan without any problems....
I need to do some research and see if I can find some reasonable gym around here.... or at least swimming lessons

[lexsmama]

Massage?? Where?? That would be nice.

We have gymnastics starting at age 3 at our Boys & Girls Club. My niece and nephew loved it there. Same with cheerleading.

I wish I could come up and help you, Pam! Take that time to yourself, sweetie. Do what you have to do.

[sarahlynn]

well i told dh he could save the money and do it himself but he didnt agree..he said well who does it better.well her of course..lol

pam have a great time tonight :)

[CandiceLeigh]

Is everyone gone? Hello, hello??

[lexsmama]

Rescued from page 3... Wow. And near the bottom, even!

How are you ladies? I'm dragging already, but it's in the 70s outside right now. So, I pulled out the cider this morning. Until the 90s hit this afternoon.

Looks like Ike may come back this way. Great. I'm not looking forward to that.

[newmami]

Hi Ladies!!
Ash, I hope Ike doesn't hit the coast of Tx... we are happy that it is gone from FL, but seriously, we are done with the hurricanes, aren't we??

I am single mom today and tomorrow, DH had to reschedule his trip and left yesterday... I had a quiet night, both kids went to sleep at 7:30, it was great

Miss Pam, how was your weekend??

[lexsmama]

Not even close to done, Clau. I bet we've got a couple more in store. Dh was researching hurricanes last night, and he said that Ike fits the Hurricane of 1900 to a T. That's a scary, scary thing.

Dh asked me if I wanted to try Nutri System. Any of you girls tried it? I'm scared with it because I won't be able to cook anymore. Just heat and go. :(

[newmami]

I know Candice did it and lost some pounds... I have seriously considered it because of the convenience, but still I have to cook for the kids.

Both my kids got haircuts yesterday and then I got the pool out, they had a blast!! it was so much fun seeing them playing and laughing together

[lexsmama]

My friend and her dh here lost 20-40 lbs in a few months with walking or doing an elliptical every night. Dh saw a commercial, and asked. I thought I'd ask my trusty advisors...

[sarahlynn]

i used slimfast to loose my last 10 lbs that i had left over from cyrus..it worked pretty well if i stuck to it..i have never tried nutrisystem or heard much about it, is it the already maid meals they send you?

[lexsmama]

Yep, it's less than $3 a meal, and they come in a freezer box to your door. I just can't drink Slim Fast without gagging.. I wish I could.

[sarahlynn]

yeah i had to really dilute my slimfast down with milk and some water cause it was to strong for me..the chocolate shake stuff..but i choked it down..i was hell bent on loosing that 10lbs..im thinking of useing it for these last 9lbs i have hangin on to me..*******s..

how was everyones weekend..

i had a great fight with Dh in front of MIL that always feels freaking good..

[lexsmama]

Oh yay. Those fights are the best. I had a dh in pain equal to that of before he found the neurologist all weekend. And! All he wanted to do was play that stinkin' game on volcanic mode.

[willsmama]

Does APA look different for anyone else?

[willsmama]

I figured it out.
I am so tired, down, crabby today. I wish AF would come and go away so i can be me again.
:truce:

[lexsmama]

Not here, but I'm on Google Chrome.

[sarahlynn]

a what?

they changed APA up a bit last week..i like the new look and the eyes up on top :lol:

i just feel sick to my stomach after that fight, we both said hurtful things..and after every fight i just give up a bit more on our marrige..:(

[lexsmama]

I don't notice a change... Crap. Am I that unobservant?

Google Chrome. Chrissy brought it up in Random last week. I'm in wub with it.

[newmami]

I am so sorry about the fight Sarah.... and I totally understand the part about giving up... :comfort:
It is so hard to make a marriage work, when the other part is not cooperating....:ohno:

Ok, for the life of me I cannot find a gym for Dani here in Orlando, the only one somewhat close does not offer classes in the afternoon... WTF??? :headbang:

Where are the missing ladies? Pam, Candice, Lynn?? DON'T WORK!! come out and play.
I miss Stacy... loved the pictures and videos, but still I miss her.

[willsmama]

I am just down and out and tired.
Ugh.
:(

[newmami]

So sorry Tracy, did you had a bad weekend or this is just a blah day?

[sarahlynn]

sorry tracy..

what a crappy monday...

i got stung by a wasp for the first time at the zoo on sat..they were horrible..really bad this time of year..

[lexsmama]

Oh man, wasp stings hurt badly.

I had to call and find out if I needed a referral to see a dermatologist, and yep, I do. And my dr won't give me one bcs he thinks he can do it himself. Poo.

And, I found out that classes have doubled in cost since the fall. Craptastic.

[sarahlynn]

oh man that sucks about classes..sorry :(


ugh i just schedules cys heart appts for the 19th..i hate these things..why do our brains go over the worse case schenerios :(

[lexsmama]

:hugs: Sarah. I bet he'll be a trooper all over again! Cy's a strong, healthy boy. It'll be okay.

[willsmama]

just a blah monday is all.

[sarahlynn]

yeah i agree.. i dont like today

[lexsmama]

I just want to go to bed.

[newmami]

Oi Sarah!! so sorry that Cy needs to go to the doctor... I am like you, worst case scenario woman... guess it comes with motherhood??

Ash, sorry about the price for classes, ugh!

I have NOTHING to do at work, seriously!! it is getting old. I looked on careerbuilder but there is nothing reasonable out there....

[willsmama]

Lets call it a day. Go home, cuddle with our kids and start over tomorrow?

[lexsmama]

Lex likes school though. I'd pick him up early, but I don't even have the car!

Oh, dh said that if I don't find a job by January, I can quit here and go to school full time. Can I make it here that long??

[willsmama]

Yes...you can. We'll pull you through. :)

[newmami]

Sounds like a plan Tracy!!

YES ASH!! you can do it!! it is only 4 more months....
I wish DH would say that to me.... that is my pipe dream........

[lexsmama]

Are you sure I won't tell off the secretary??

[lexsmama]

Well, with his health doing what it is, he's getting a serious sense of mortality. He said that God forbid something happens to him, I'll be able to take are of Lex and myself.

[willsmama]

awwwhhhh.

My leg/hamstring hurt still.
It has been like 2 weeks now.
grr.

[lexsmama]

Do you need to see someone? Maybe a massage?

[newmami]

Ouchie Tracy!! did you go see a doctor? just to make sure it is nothing serious

Ash, that is exactly the part of me (plus the neurotic planner in me) that does not allow me to just stay home... what if something happens and I have to take care of my kids... I need something to fall back!

[willsmama]

I went to the chiropractor last week and that helped temporarily...I know it is from running, but I am afraid if I stop I'll gain the weight back.

[lexsmama]

Can you try yoga or some alternative?

[sarahlynn]

im all for going home and starting over..btu i want to start over at friday? can i do the weekend over?

[lexsmama]

No kidding, Sarah. I need another weekend.

I made this for Mimie...

[newmami]

The shirt is really neat Ash
Ack... can I go home now???????

[lexsmama]

You think? I thougth about wearing it when I do cancer benefits and things.

I want to go home, too.

[sarahlynn]

i cant read it :( its to small

[lexsmama]

It says "I wear Purple for my Mimie."

[newmami]

How cool is that????????? I love the little people!

[sarahlynn]

lynn i still am trying to adjust to your new name :lol:

did i tell you i got stung by a wasp for the first time this weekend..i think i told you already..

[Momto3]

lynn i still am trying to adjust to your new name :lol:

..

Trust me. I am trying to adjust to it too. Every time I see a thread where I was the last poster I think..."Who is that"? Duh!

[lexsmama]

Yep, you told us. :hugs: anyway! :silly:

I double take every time I see your name, Lynn. :laugh:

[Momto3]

Morning ladies....I HATE the teen years!...that is all..

But on a cute note...I was putting Katelyn to sleep last night and I said "Sweet dreams baby cakes" and she said "I not cakes, I Katelyn Wanson!" (She doesn't say the "S" yet.)

[without]

Hey all! Hope every ones Tuesday is better than Monday! I have Mommy and me gym tonight with Morgan. Blah ... I don't look forward to it but Morgan is stoked and even talked about it in her sleep LOL

[newmami]

Hi Pam!!! I hope you have a wonderful time at Mommy & me Gym (note to self, see if there is one around here)

DH is coming back today... I secretly wish he would stay out couple more days, I like being alone.

Lynn, how sweet of Katelyn!!!

My kids were super tired this morning, so I didn't woke them up until they were ready, and then I sent breakfast to daycare. It felt good not having to wake 2 sleepy kids!!

Eeks Sarah! are you Ok after the sting?? OUCHIE

[lexsmama]

Morning...

Cute kiddos, Pam and Lynn. Lex did similar last night.
I said, "Lex, are you sleepy?"
"Uh huh."
"Do you want to go night night?"
"Yes."
"Well, I will get Daddy and you head to your bed."
"Otay."
And he went straight to bed. Kisses and all.

I'm having a crappy day already. I woke up stressed. I had been thinking about tomorrow's appointment since 4 this morning. Didn't help. Michael slept until 7:15. Didn't help. Crappy job didn't help. I didn't have time to do anything but pull my hair up and toss on clothes. No makeup, no perfume, nada. I started uncontrollably crying. I'm still on edge right now. I don't know what's up.

Does the ponytail look fake?
http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f144/litlebakergrl/jewelryandhair001.jpg

[without]

Doesn't look fake to me!

My tummy hurts! I am going to go look up side effects on my new medication. I so hope thats not what is making my tummy hurt.

[lexsmama]

It's fake. lol. From Just for Redheads. I love that thing, but I'm so afraid it looks bad.

[sarahlynn]

no it looks really real to me :)


tuesday seems to be better..haev to take MIL to the airport on my lunch hour..thats about it..found out i get my friday noon hours back well i work two till noon than one till three and so on..im rotateing with the other office ladies :) yay

[lexsmama]

Yay Sarah!

Does Jenny ever pop in here anymore?? Did you see her thread? Wow. That's is all I can say. Wow.

[newmami]

Ash, I like the hair thingie!! that is how my hair would look if I pull it up
I am sorry you are so stressed sweetie, I wish you didn't had to deal with all that crap at work, and the problems at home (how is DH's grandma doing???) :hugs:

Pam, what medication are you taking?? I hope the tummy aches go away :truce:

Geez, seems like we girls just need a mini vacation... wouldn't it be great to go together someplace, just US??? :celebrate:

I saw Jenny's thread, yes WOW!!! although I would not trust an expired HPT... all I can say from personal experience is that when it is your time to be PG, it DEFINETLY is!!

[lexsmama]

She has stopped all communication with anyone. It's about that time for her, isn't it? I'm so sad for dh.

I need a vacation. From everything except APA. :lol:

[sarahlynn]

what ?? what thread ??

[lexsmama]

http://www.americanpregnancy.org/forums/showthread.php?t=86676

[sarahlynn]

ijust saw that thread i hope if she is pregnant it goes well i dotn want to see her go through another loss like the last time :(

who stopped talking to everyone?


my son is a total headbanger you guys..he was jammin out to Pantera on the way to school today :)

[lexsmama]

Who stopped talking?? Huh?

Pantera huh? Fun.

[sarahlynn]

She has stopped all communication with anyone. It's about that time for her, isn't it? I'm so sad for dh.

this?

[lexsmama]

Oh! Yep. Mema's not talking to anyone anymore. Not even dh's mom.

[without]

Yep... I can't get the thought out of my mind! I am on pens waiting to find out if its a true BFP!

Ashley,,, I hope your DH can find a way to find some peace about his grandma.

Nah.. I think my tummy hurts because I am mad and upset. Sigh... I went to the DR yesterday for help with weight loss. I have been working at losing weight really really hard and what does he tell me! Your cholesteral is high you need to lose weight and lay off meat and dairy and eat less calories. The exact oppisite every one else is telling me who sees my food intake for the day. I just don't know if I can go below 1,500 calries a day and still funtion! He said I need to work out more. Sigh.. that one is true I have been doing my best to walk 3 miles a week and thats better than before but I know its still not good enough. I am sick of being fat and alone.

[newmami]

I am so sorry Ash that she decided not to talk to anyone... I am sure that is very very hurtful to everybody

My wedding anniversary is next Monday and I am feeling so blah about it it is not even funny...

[lexsmama]

Find someone else, Pam. That's not healthy. He's got a skewed view of weight loss. Have you tried Weight Watchers?

[lexsmama]

She's given up, girls. It's all but over. :(

[without]

Claudia... maybe things will change and your get the sudden umph to party it up for your aniv! He if nothing else its a good reason for CAKE!!! LOL

Ashley, I have not done WW I can't afford it. And unless they let you take your kids to the meeting I couldn't make it to them.

Last night I said..."I need a social life" My dad says "your a mom you don't need nor get a social life" a little later I said ya know when you said I dont need or get a social life because I am a mom that hurt. My mom chimes in "you get a life back when Morgan is grown" For some reason it really hurt and I don't think it HAS to be that way. Why can't I have girl friends and go out to a movie with them? Why do the make me feel like I am a bad Mom because I would love to go out once a month without Morgan? That being said.... its been 5 Months since I have spent a day away from Morgan and close to a year since I have spent a night apart from her. Its not like I party it up all the time.

[newmami]

That was totally rude from that $)#($*# doctor Pam!! he should have taken the time to explain how many calories you need, what types of food you can eat and all that.... GRRR!!! :rant:

[lexsmama]

That was rude of your parents, Pam. Although, mine have done it, too.

[newmami]

Pam, I think your parents are WRONG... you need time for YOURSELF, and that doesn't mean you are neglecting Morgan... you are PAM and need to make sure you do not forget that you are Pam, besides Mom.... mom is not the only word that defines you.
If you ask ANY therapist, they will tell you that it is absolutely healthy to make ME time, so you feel better, function better, and be a better mom. Happy Pam will make a Happy Mom

I know because I am trying hard to find Claudia again... I got lost in the mom & wife role, and that is not good. I need to be myself again, do things I enjoy and like.

I wish I could do more for you Pam, breaks my heart to see that your family is less than supportive about YOU.... :comfort:

[without]

As far as the DR goes... I guess I am just mad that for the first time I went to the DR because I want to do this right. I want to do what ever I need to do to lose this weigh and after spending the money I came away with NOTHING helpful! I also get mad that this morning at 5:30 I ate a breakfast that should have kept me! 1 slice of wheat toast, 1 activia yogurt light, and 8 oz of water and it didn't I was starving by 8 and have been watching the clock for lunch for hours and still have an hour and a half to go!

My parents... they have no clue what I feel like on the inside and they just get tired of hearing me belly ache about it all the time. I am shocked you girls haven't told me to shut up already.

[sarahlynn]

umm pssst pam...we all belly ache on here all the time :)

[newmami]

Ummm Pam, because you are entitled to complain and feel whatever you want to feel, and we as friends are here for you, good or bad. That is what friends do!

I know I sound like a broken record, but have you tried eating PROTEINS in the morning? like some turkey, ham, etc?? proteins will make you feel fuller longer
If you cannot stomach them in the morning, try some midday snack that is high in proteins, like almonds or peanuts

[without]

LOL yes but mine is always the same ol crap... Men and weight. LOL and some times the EX Monster in law. Maybe I am just on stress overload right now. My house is a mess, I have to take Morgan over to the EX Monster-in-laws house so that Morgan can see Grants uncle. I hate going to her house!, Then on thursday I have to meet with the Att. about getting every thing changed on Morgan (and I pray they don't ask for more money because I don't have it), I am starving, I need to buy some food at the store but don't have the funds nor the time, and I really would like to curl up in my bed and sleep! Gee wiz I am being a baby today!

Want to hear my confession....... I have no sheets on my bed and haven't for months...Morgan has sheets on her bed and they get washed every Sunday but I have such little time for me that I don't even have time to put sheets on my bed! How nasty is that! It also makes for a poor nights sleep.

[without]

Claudia, I just got off the phone not an hour ago with the Nurse who said that I need to cut out proteins..and dairy! (and eat less calories!) I just wish... they would tell me what I am supposed to eat if what I am eating is wrong yet I can't add protein or calories! ugh!

[newmami]

I believe the nurse and doctor are being harsh... what are you supposed to eat then?? only lettuce??? that doesn't work, you need to eat a balanced meal EVERY time!!

Pam, you really need to make some time for yourself and put some sheets in your bed! Have Morgan help you, it will be fun

[without]

As strange as this sounds..............some times I don't feel as if I even desirve sheets on my bed! Is that nuts or what???? Oh wait Nuts are a protein and I am not supposed to have those!!LOL

[newmami]

You should then feel TOFU Pam, I am sure you can eat that!!

[sarahlynn]

i use a fitted sheet but not a top sheet..just my comforter..

[without]

Mmmm... I love Tofu in Thai food LOL

[lexsmama]

Pam, go find another dr. This guy's not telling you right. You need protein and dairy. Good grief.

And yes, belly aching is a good thing. It sometimes seems we're all each other's got and that's okay. We all complain all the time, and sometimes about the same things for weeks. Oh well. That's what we need help with at the time. :hugs:

I ranted. Sorry.

I'm getting a haircut at 2. I get me time!

[Momto3]

You guys...I don't know what to do. Shelly skipped school yesterday and they both lied about where they were after school. I'm convinved they are doing drugs and they are getting it from school. I have no idea what to do.

[newmami]

You are absolutely right Ash!!

Come back and show us your new hairdo, ok???

[newmami]

OMG Lynn.... I have no idea!! confront them?? is this both Shelley and Tyler??
I am so sorry sweetie :hugs:

[Momto3]

Shelly skipped but I think Tyler is being drawn into the drugs as well. After she over drew her bank account and I had to pay for her car insurance I told her she was not allowed to go anywhere. She was not going out having a good time in the car that I was paying to insure. So Friday after school she decided to go out anyway and said she had cabin fever and was sick of staying home. So we got into a big argument. Lots of words were said. I just have lost all control over her.

Tyler mentioned something about some kid in school asked if he wanted to buy some bars. Those are Xanax bars they are referring to. They go for $3.00 a piece so of course a kid has his lunch money and they are reasonably priced.

[willsmama]

That is so scary.
Xanax bars...ugh...if these kids only knew what they were doing.

Pam-put some sheets on and find a different doctor, or just follow that one website I sent you.

ALL of my mommas-take some me time...

I feel like DH and I are growing apart....only because I feel like I do more and more and he does less and less...if that makes sense. Then I end up resentful...

[Momto3]

Makes sense Tracy. Have you guys talked about it?

[willsmama]

We have, and he is trying...but at the same time, I still feel resentful. I guess it won't happen overnight....

Ugh. Marriage is WORK....

[lexsmama]

Oh Lynn, I don't know what I'd do. Xanax isn't exactly what I would go for if I could do drugs... Maybe find a dr or a program that will show them what drugs do to them? I don't know.

I will take pics girls. It'll be similar to last time. :laugh: It's been 3 months, and I needed a break.

I did that this morning, Tracy. I got beyond ticked at dh for sleeping until nearly 7:30 when we had to be at work by 8, with one car. I went pms on him. Can you try games like Bliss, the game for Lovers? That's what we did, and it's really helping.

[lexsmama]

:grouphug:

[willsmama]

I think we just are so fried by the time Will goes down at night, we're losing "us"...

I don't know how to get us back either...

[Momto3]

Tracy -

My DH says that to me all the time. He misses "us". You are right. After working all week and dealing with the children...I have no energy, both physical and mental) to be an "us".

[lexsmama]

I get the exact same losing "us" comment all the time. Now, dh has started leaving me notes again. We're trying, but it's work. The game helped oodles.

[willsmama]

at least I know I am not alone. Last night I freaked on him because he is going to play 'touch football' on saturdays now and has a standing thing on Sundays with his brother which makes me wonder when I'll get any me time on weekends, so...I freaked...more out of resentment....

I sent him this email...at least it is a start:

Sorry about last night and it coming out of nowhere. I think I pent things up and start resenting things then I feel like one thing, even if it is little makes it all blow up.

We’ll work on it. (I’ll work on me, you work on you….is what I mean there)

Just wanted to let you know I love you.

Love me.

[lexsmama]

That was sweet.

I've been making dh's lunches every day this week, and I put notes in them. It helps.

Hey... SARAH! Congrats with your cover!!!

[willsmama]

she got the cover? I have to go see...

[lexsmama]

She did!

[lexsmama]

I'm headed out in a few!

[newmami]

Tracy, I feel like you do... there is no more couple in my marriage.... but honestly I do not miss it.... I also think me and DH are growing apart, but I am tired of trying to make it work by myself

DH said no to couples counseling, I was really looking forwards to it, but he has (IMO) too many unresolved issues he doesn't have to deal with.... besides we are so different in ALL aspects!!! my guy about a thing says it is true that opposites attract, but I am having a hard time believeing it

Lynn, if it was me, I would get some nasty facts about Xanax and then talk to Tyler about it... make it as bad as it really is.... hopefully that will freak him out
As for Shelley, I do not have much advise, just a ton of hugs

[Momto3]

Really Claudia? I thought he was ok with counseling and even went with you once? Maybe I am thinking of Sarah and Matt.

[willsmama]

Claudia, I just don't want my DH and I to get to that point. I am hoping I'll always want an us...:(

[sarahlynn]

thanks :)

[Momto3]

I am sure you will always want an "us" well, a "you'all" Sometimes you just don't have the energy to make the effort to give a hoot...oh wait, that's me.

[newmami]

He went once, but the other day he told me he really doesn't want to do the couples therapy... I said Ok because it would be worse if I push it and he goes without not really wanting to be there :indifferent:

I have too many issues that I need to figure out before I want an US again... I am working on the ME part first

So I just got scolded by the MORON I have for a Supervisor because of my attitude.... WTF?? the worse thing is that she was a condescending prick about it... ACK!! I told her I wasn't happy here, and that I felt that they were pushing me away without really wanting to say it.... anyways apparently some people complain about the way I am... just because I don't go around dipping in other people's koolaid, people don't like me :eyebrow:
I am so done, I just want to run and cry..... WAIT!! I just want to quit!!

And of course when I tell DH, he is just going to do :dunno: and pretty much imply that I need to suck it up...

I am so upset I just want to scream!!! :scream:

[willsmama]

That sucks Claudia!! What about your old Work boyfriend? Does he have anything for you?

[newmami]

I haven't heard from him in a while... giving the current market conditions, I would be surprised if they had something available for me

This morning I am trying to thing with a rational head... I have to pretend to be happy as a clam here at work so I don't get any more grief.... same at home.... I am going to keep looking and start applying in other places... if I can hold until the end of January, I will be ok (because we already have our tickets to Mexico)
When I was driving to work, I thought for a brief moment it would be nice to go back to taking the zoloft and get into that emotionless/numb feeling... at least for now.... but no, I will deal with this issues the right way!

[without]

Claudia!!! I am so sorry you have to work for pricks!!! Why do they care! I mean as long as you do your job and do your job well... why can't they leave you alone!

Tracy, don't worry about not wanting "US" because I think you will always want that because I know that feeling. Even with all the bad things Grant did I still wanted "us".

Lynn, I wrote a long responce about the drug thing and for some reason it didn't show up! Ugh! How about weekly mandatory drug test for both kids. They really are not that pricey when you buy them online and if you do them at home no one has to know but you and your child.

Ashley, how was the hair appointment?

Sarah,,,Howdy! How are things with Matt now that MIL went home?

Bel.... come back to us!!! I saw the post on Santi and the new school he is going to. I am happy he likes it and know what you mean about being sad when the are so ready for you to go! Last night Morgan didn't want me to stay with her at Mommy and Me Gym. LOL but I think thats because I was making her fallow the rules.

[newmami]

Oh yes Pam!! how did it go at the gym?? did Morgan had tons of fun?

I am putting my happy face for this morons, if that is what they want, that is what they will get.... but inside I am still rotten..... anyways, I was so upset I couldn't talk to DH, and he was in a crappy mood to, then Chris threw up his dinner...so..... it was lovely night. :eyebrow::eyeroll:

I left it all out on a blog, so that felt good. Now I am going to decide how to regain control over things, specify a timeline and all those things we OCD people do :laugh:

[Momto3]

Sorry about the crappy people at your work Claudia.

I am taking Shelly to see a lady about a thing at 2pm today. She doesn't know it. I have got to get a handle on the drugs, the lying, etc. I told her to take her work clothes with her today. She wanted to know why and I told her to just do it. Its driving her crazy not knowing why but I don't want her to prepare any lies ahed of time.

[without]

Claudia, Morgan had a blast and cried because she didn't want to go home. Now she keeps asking if we will go back tonight. Its going to be a long week for her because she wants to go every night. LOL

Lynn, good idea! I hope that you can get a little more insight. Its hard to watch our loved ones do things to hurt themself and destroy there life.

[Momto3]

Aww poor Morgan. I know how that goes. Every stinkin time we take Katelyn to the playground she cries when we leave. No matter if we have been there an hour or just 10 minutes!

I forgot to mention that the drug tests that will test for this kind of stuff in the stores is like $30 a piece. So weekly tests for each of them would get really pricey. Haven't checked online.

[newmami]

Good idea Lynn... I hope Shelley understands that you are doing this because you love her and because you don't want anything bad or stupid to happen to her.

Oi Pam... I am sure Dani would do the same....

Where is everybody?? I wonder if Ash had to evacuate because of Ike???

[Momto3]

I tell you guys, you never think that you will have to go through this with your wee ones. I look at Katelyn and I just want to protect her from all of this.

Oh and Kudos to my wonderful boss! I was telling him on the phone yesterday that I had to take this afternoon off and I told him why. He could hear me tearing up on the phone. He called me later when he was in the car on the way to the office. He told me that he has been thinking about me all day and that it just sucks that I have to go through this. He's known my kids all their life as I started working for him 20 years ago. It was like having a hug over the phone. So cool!

[without]

Aww... Lynn thats great about your boss! Oh and you being at your job 20 years reminded me! Today is my 7 year work Anv!!! I can't believe I have been here 7 years! Yep.... Grant was into the over the counter stuff too! Have you considered sending your kids to Teen Challenge? I don't know how bad it has got but it is an idea. I used to work there before I started at the U of A and its a good program.

[newmami]

Yay for thoughtful boss Lynn!! I hope everything goes well:silly::hugs:

Happy working anniversary Pam!!! thank you for all your hard work and dedication:party:

Ash is here... she ditched us for the Pointless thread girls.......... :ohno:

[sarahlynn]

how is everyone today>?

[without]

Sniff Sniff.... pretty soon Claudia.... its just going to be me here! and once again it will die.... LOL

Thanks I reminded every one yesterday that today was my 7 year being here anv. and they asked ME to bring THEM food Sigh.... I brought a fruit tray.... every one has said congrats and thank you but no one thought maybe THEY should have brought the fruit tray! Kids!

[willsmama]

i am here too!
just been busy!

[willsmama]

Has the pointless thread become more popular? :(

[without]

i guess so :(

Gee girlz I went over my calories by 500+ yesterday!! I knew I would go over by a little but not by that much!!! Ouch must be more careful when eating out!

[willsmama]

Eating out is hard...but it'll get better. Today is a new day!

[newmami]

I agree!! one day is not going to kill you Pam!!

I am glad at least people at your work did something for your anniversary... mine was Aug 9 and no one remember... but then again, why does that surprise me????

[willsmama]

Claudia, I want to punch your coworkers.
I am freezing. It is SO cold in here.
Brrr.

[without]

oh,,,Claudia don't feel bad because my co works did nothing for my working here Anv. I am the one who brought them food all they did was eat it! Ugh!

As far as the going over on calories at least I am learning to make better choices.

[willsmama]

I learn EVERY day.

[without]

OK I ate lunch about an hour ago and I am still really hungry!!! I think I'll have a snack because if I don't....well... then the temptation to eat on the way home will be to great so I think I'll have an activa or some fruit. I hope I don't blow it by eating a snack but I know if I don't eat one I'll get weak and shakey and pig out for dinner.

[lexsmama]

Aww poor Morgan. I know how that goes. Every stinkin time we take Katelyn to the playground she cries when we leave. No matter if we have been there an hour or just 10 minutes!

I forgot to mention that the drug tests that will test for this kind of stuff in the stores is like $30 a piece. So weekly tests for each of them would get really pricey. Haven't checked online.

Is there a place in town that does free drug testing?

Good idea Lynn... I hope Shelley understands that you are doing this because you love her and because you don't want anything bad or stupid to happen to her.

Oi Pam... I am sure Dani would do the same....

Where is everybody?? I wonder if Ash had to evacuate because of Ike???

Nope, but my family did. I had a dentist appt today.

I tell you guys, you never think that you will have to go through this with your wee ones. I look at Katelyn and I just want to protect her from all of this.

Oh and Kudos to my wonderful boss! I was telling him on the phone yesterday that I had to take this afternoon off and I told him why. He could hear me tearing up on the phone.

Judos for the boss!

Yay for thoughtful boss Lynn!! I hope everything goes well:silly::hugs:

Happy working anniversary Pam!!! thank you for all your hard work and dedication:party:

Ash is here... she ditched us for the Pointless thread girls.......... :ohno:

I did NOT! I'd never ditch you girls. I've been off since yesterday afternoon. :hugs: Had a hair appt, got my face done, and picked up Little Bit. I just got in the office from Tyler. It's an hour and a half from here.

Has the pointless thread become more popular? :(

Nah. :winks:

Eating out is hard...but it'll get better. Today is a new day!

New day, new things to learn and do differently.

I learn EVERY day.

Amen to that, sister.

[willsmama]

Hows your hair!?

[without]

Glad your OK!!! How was the appointment?

[lexsmama]

1. Hair is stinkin' cute! I wish I had a way to get you a pic before tonight.

2. Appt. Eeek! I'm expensive! Nearly $16,000 in work to be done. That includes a root canal, 3 wisdom teeth pulled, all my baby teeth, a porcelain bridge, 10 fillings, 2 implants, a gum treatment, and sedation.

[sarahlynn]

you mean the pointless thread in random? it gets lots of hits..its just us in here..the same old gang :) but in the end we were here first..all the rest are wannabees..


i just calle dthe back to get a home equity cons loan? anyone know about these? im affraid with our credit we wotn get one..we dont haev bad credit btu dh's istn great or well really good either..i just want to get all these bills on ONE payment and start makign headway on things ya know..i pay so many places every month with interest on all ..

[lexsmama]

I know what you mean on the credit problem. I hope you get approved. :hugs:

I like it in here, it's homey.

Have you girls heard from Candice? She's been in the hospital for viral meningitis. She say's she's okay.

[newmami]

How was the dentist Ash??? I hope it was a good experience

So far I am doing good at pretending I am happy in this place... men I should have been an actress...... :lol:

It just rained, or should I say POURED in here... like scary hurricane like rain... ugh!! at least it is done, I hate driving in the rain

Oh, just got an email stating tomorrow is SWEETS day, and to please bring something... will a pound of poisoned sugar would work?? :pokey:

[willsmama]

sarah, I used to do mortgages. But, I don't anymore.
If you truly have the equity, and know it will help pay the bills, they aren't a bad thing, and the interest is tax deductiable...:)

[willsmama]

are any more hurricanes headed to FL?

[lexsmama]

The dentist... funny enough... reminds me of my uncle before all his health problems. He chews the same flavor Nicorette, looks like him, and talks like him! :shocker:

[lexsmama]

Speaking of sweets... I'm mailing some out next week. Does anyone want some mailed their way?

[newmami]

OMG!! no, poor Candice, I hope she is feeling better

Sarah, some people say it is not a good idea to get a home equity line to pay off credit cards... mostly because there is the risk to go crazy using the equity line and end up losing your house... but if you are just doing it to consolidate, GO FOR IT!!! try lendingtree, they have good rates (online company)

[newmami]

Sweets on the mail... tempting tempting!!

[without]

Oh no! Poor Candice! I hope she is doing OK!!

I know it sounds silly but I wish it would rain and pour here! I get more done in the house when it rains.

Mmmm... Sweets! lol I just gave into a snack of Activa.

[willsmama]

mmm
Sugar.

[newmami]

:lol: Tracy!!

Pam, I will join you with a nectarine for a snack!!

So the SOB I have for a supervisor came to my cubby to tell me about this opportunity here and wants to know if I am interested... I should take it, then find another job OUT OF HERE, and leave them hanging... HA HA HA (insert evil smile here)

[lexsmama]

I am hungry, but I don't want to eat. I feel fat today.

[willsmama]

:lol: Tracy!!

Pam, I will join you with a nectarine for a snack!!

So the SOB I have for a supervisor came to my cubby to tell me about this opportunity here and wants to know if I am interested... I should take it, then find another job OUT OF HERE, and leave them hanging... HA HA HA (insert evil smile here)

DO IT.

[willsmama]

I am hungry, but I don't want to eat. I feel fat today.

If it is true, physical hunger. Have something. Either with high protein or a good fat (nuts, etc) so it will keep you satified longer.
I am renewed in my WW spirit. I have put 4 lbs back on again durning this maintenance and am fighting to get rid of them!

[lexsmama]

DO IT Clau!

[lexsmama]

I ate at noon, so I don't know if it is real hunger or bored, snackiness. lol.

[willsmama]

i am having a 1 point granola bar.

[lexsmama]

I want a nap. I've hit the after everything happens, nerves, lull, sleepy time.

[newmami]

Ash, nuts make a wonderful snack!!! even if it is just muchies.....

When you say do it, do I take the job if it is offered, or the poisoned sugar?????

[willsmama]

Take the job that is offered.
Then do the poisoned sugar before you leave them high and dry.

[lexsmama]

Take the job that is offered.
Then do the poisoned sugar before you leave them high and dry.

Yep.:winks:

[lexsmama]

I'm headed to get little bit and dh. I'll do my best to post pics of the hair tonight.

[Momto3]

Morning my friends! Missed you guys yesterday!

The appt with Shelly was meh. Not to much evolved. She was really angry and the counselor told her that. She is going to continue to meet with the counselor individually and we are going to meet also together with the counselor. We shall see.

I hope I get to see you when you are here Tracy!

I can't believe Candice is in the hospital!

Poison the Sugar Claudia.

Where is the hair pic Ashley?


Hi Pam!

[Momto3]

Oh I forgot to mention...I found three "pills" in Tyler's room. I went snooping yesterday. I took them. I mean what was he going to say..."Did you take my drugs?" right? So DH and I are examing them later and they were tylenol with the word "tylenol" scratched out but not very good! Bahahahaha he's a druggie wannabe!

[lexsmama]

Morning!

A drugee wannabe, eh? At least he's not actually doing it. That's a plus.

I hope Shelly opens up eventually. It'll do her some good.

Hair pic isn't here yet, Lynn. I'm bad at this lately. lol.

They evacuated Houston this morning. The news said that we may get some hurricane to tropical storm winds here this weekend.

[without]

Claudia take the job and keep an open mind but keep applying for jobs outside of that rude hole you are working in!

Sarah, I was snooping at your pictures on Face book and I loved Lulu's Gym pics! To cute!

Lynn, sigh... I wish Shelly could come stay with me for a week. I would love to let her walk with me for a week and see just how drugs have effected my family and to let her look around our local teen challange to let her know thats where she is going to end up if she doesn't stop being stupid. Tyler being a drugie want'a be! Sigh... I guess its a sign I am getting old but why would any one want to even want to pretend to be a drugie!

Ashley, be safe! and boo hoo on the hair pictures!

[willsmama]

mornng ladies!

[lexsmama]

I'll get em, I'll get em! I promise! It may be a cell phone pic, but it'll get done!

[newmami]

Hi ladies!! how is everybody doing?? :hi:

Lynn, I am glad Shelley agreed to do the counseling, and I hope she can work on her anger issues... from personal experience I can say that keeping the anger inside is not a good thing, it rottens you :( then it is very hard to rebuilt yourself :ohno:
As for Tyler, have you talked to him?? maybe he is being pressured by his friends, so he is doing the wannabe just to keep them off his back?? :dunno:
When I was a teenager we had a conference/talk with a guy who was a recovering drug addict, he told us about the drugs just like it is... I remember what shocked me the most was that his best friend got high and he thought he was a tree, and never came out of that... so he was still thinking he was a tree... sometimes we need to see the worst case scenario to understand how bad it can really be
:hugs: because I am sure this is really hard on you hon


Pam, I have a bag full of hugs for you today!! I am sending them to you :hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:

I am in a good mood this morning, the kids were being so funny... Chris has this thing where he skips instead of walking... he cracks me up

Ash, take care of yourself, and hope you don't have any problems with IKE... we are getting some of the outerbans here, with nasty rain and some wind

Oh... I am waiting to get more information about that job and see if it opens for real (I don't trust anyone in this darn place) and after January, I will start looking for another job, so I can just ditch this place!!!

[willsmama]

I hope you find something Claudia.

Lynn-I hope we can meet up too. My parents are not giving me any details of the plans so it seems chaotic for Sunday...we get in mid/late day on Saturday the 20th and then we leave Saturday again. :(

[without]

Thanks Claudia!! I have to meet with the Atterny again today I hope they don't need any more money because I really really don't have it. I borrowed 5 dollars from Morgan today to get gas! Sigh...Oh,,, well

Grr! I don't understand why people can be more understanding! Some people are such intlectual(lol and I can't even spell it!) snobs!

[newmami]

Grr! I don't understand why people can be more understanding! Some people are such intlectual(lol and I can't even spell it!) snobs!

Have you been talking to my DH???? :shocker::laugh:

[without]

LOL nope and I wish I could say it was some one here at work but yet again I got out of my save spot here in the never ending... and well... I know better! Sigh!!

Girls I just can't wait for Christmas!!! I know I won't have a lot of money for gifts and at first that bothered me until.... I thought about it and I have an old wooden cradel up in the attic that an elderly man in the church made me when I was little and ... I have about 15 Cabbage Patch kids from when I was litte up there too!!! I am going to get them down and maybe buy some new outfits (or even make them) for them and even though it won't cost me money I know Morgan will love them! I was going to save them for another year or two but unless money falls fromt the sky this year might be the better time to pull them down.

[lexsmama]

That's a great present, Pam! We're doing a couple of presents for Lex and that's it.

My dad talked to the harbor master in freeport, and he said that there should be 4 feet of water in lake jackson. Even with the levees.

He was busy shutting down the plant. (DOW) I got teary eyed.

[newmami]

That is an awesome idea Pam!!! how cool that Morgan will be playing with Mommy's dolls!!! :wub:

We do not splurge for Christmas, I have a hard time spending money on toys... my list of things for the kids mostly have educational things (that they play with at daycare) a tricycle for Dani and a car for Chris. My family was never into spending tons of money for Christmas, so I am not used to it..... I rather spend the money in airline tickets and be with my family

Ok, I talked to DH and we are going to take the kids trick or treating... so we need customs... do I get them different ones or keep the theme the same? (like superheroes or something like that??)

Pam, you need to PM me woman, you know about what!!!

[newmami]

Oh Ash... I hope your family is safe!! I heard this morning that the waves in the gulf coast FL were insane!!
Someday I will know if I ever met your Dad while I worked for Dow... I have nothing but good memories from that place

[without]

Oh,,, well I buy a lot but don't spend a lot LOL I have a large family and even with the money I had saved gone now I am starting to really look forward to Christmas! I found a GREAT receipie for Hot Cocoa and I am going to make it and put it into little decritive jars and give those to people who are far away or that are people i work with and the mail man type things. I can't wait!!! Can I put up my tree now?? LOL

[lexsmama]

Dad was in Plant B in Freeport.

[lexsmama]

Put up the tree and decorate in orange, purple and black! Then in brow, orange and red... and then christmas!!

[sarahlynn]

Pam that is a great idea for christmas .. lucea loves my old cabage patch, takes it all over with her.

tomarow is friday, its going to be a busy weekend, fri matt has treatments, sat morn is the sesame street live and than sat night i think i convinced my sister to go to the jewel concert with me..i got free tickets so i hate to not use them up..but it is a 2.5 hour drive which sucsk so i didnt want to go alone..

oh well we will see..

[willsmama]

I just POAS. My AF is over a week late. DH is fixed, but I don't know why it is late. But it is negative.
Whew.
:)

[sarahlynn]

eeek...i can see why you tested!!

any watch real world road rules last night? or am i the only reality tv junkie..?

af should be here anyday could that be why im bawling at the stupidist sh it..

[Momto3]

Whew Tracy!

[willsmama]

I shamefully watch the Hills. :)

[newmami]

I don't like reality shows......... the only one I would watch is Extreme Makeover home edition... does that count?? (I had a cry fest watching it last Sunday)

Tracy, I would have POAS as well.... even though my tubes are tied, I still get nervious if AF is late......

Pam, the hot cocoa stuff is a wonderful idea!! IMO the best presents are the ones that people make... they just have extra warm & fuzzies inside.

So I had a vent fest today with the big Boss Assistant, (she is our former supervisor) and pretty much told her how crappy things are with the new one... there is some little hope that something would be done about her, and she can be gone for good

[without]

Good news Tracy!! AF could be late due to the diet right? I mean it gone up and down a little in the past two weeks right?

Sarah, sorry don't watch TV since it went out! LOL

[lexsmama]

Whew Tracy! :hugs: Maybe all your stress is doing it.

I just looked at my pill pack. AF is due for me. Ugh. No wonder I feel fat.

I hope this weekend's not too stressed out, Sarah. Good luck, and have fun at SSL!

My family's calling and texting me like crazy, freaking out.

[newmami]

Oi Ash, I hope nothing bad happens to your family. I am thinking about them

Ok, I have to admit that my heart breaks a little bit every time a lady in here gets a BFP... I love for them to be PG, but knowing I would NEVER have another baby breaks my heart... same when I go to Babies R Us.......

[lexsmama]

I did cookie dough.

[lexsmama]

They'll be okay. I just hope we get a little of the rain. I like storms. I loved watching Rita come in to Nac, as bad as it was.

[sarahlynn]

awww cluadia :( hugs im so sorry..it must be hard..

[lexsmama]

Aaaw, Clau. I know EXACTLY how you feel. I do the same thing. I cry sometimes, too. :hugs:

[CandiceLeigh]

Hey guys, I popped over to my dad's house real quick so I could use the computer. :hi: I'm feeling much better and will be back at work tomorrow so I can explain more about what happened. I still can't believe I have to be admitted to the hospital. Right now I feel pretty good, I just have some soreness from where they did the spinal tap. Ouch! Sorry I didn't get a hold of one of you guys sooner, but I was so out of it Sunday & Monday. Talk to you all soon!

[lexsmama]

BIG BIG hugs, Candice. Let me know if there's anything I can do!

[sarahlynn]

candice what the heck did i miss what happened??? spinal tap for what???

you have me worried girl...

hope all is well..

[lexsmama]

She had meningitis, Sarah.

[without]

Candice! Hugs take it slow for a few days! Even if you feel better take it slow! Love you girl!

Claudia! I know how you feel and some times when I think about it to much I start thinking about just going and getting knocked up by any joe smoe just so I can have a baby. But... I couldn't do that. :(

Ok girls! I am making home made veggie pizza tonight! What do you put on your pizza?

[Momto3]

Claudia - I'm right there with you. AF was a day late this month and I was all giddy inside, hoping.

Pam - Onions, green peppers and mushrooms!

Good to hear from you Candice!

[willsmama]

So am I the only one who was hoping for a BFN?! :)

[without]

LOL... I would have been scared poop less if it were me Tracy! I know I want another one but I also know its a little wrong to have one in the state I am in now. :)

[willsmama]

Yeah. We have NO money.
I mean, NONE to spare. Had to charge new front brakes on my car last night...

[lexsmama]

I want a bfp! Now. But, I can't. :(

[newmami]

If my mind is speaking, yeah a BFP would be a super bad idea.
But in my heart I would love to have another baby.... guess I have to settle with a puppy

Miss Candice, take it easy sweetie!! I am glad you are home and hope you are feeling better. Lots and lots of love!

[without]

I with you on that one Claudia my mind vs. my heart all the time. NO more Puppies for us!! LOL Our one little Hoss is enough. LOL

[Momto3]

its a little wrong to have one in the state I am in now. :)

So where do you live again? :crazy::hooray:

[without]

lol No where Middle Earth Remember

[newmami]

My so called supervisor sent me an email listing the new responsibilities for the position, and pretty much told me it is mine.... so I sent back asking what is there for me $$$$ and to know if I have to travel, because she said no originally and now she said yes....

WTF?? Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde...... UGH!!!

[Momto3]

Get it all in writing Claudia! That way no switcheroos!

[willsmama]

More Money or Travel or both?

[sarahlynn]

man i have no clue how we would afford another child..i just cant let an oops happen..but between taking the pill everyday and not having sex I SHOULD BE OK YA THINK!!!!

but i did go see my neice last night and held her for an hour and just lvoed up on her she smelt so good i love baby smell..

[newmami]

Baby smell is the best!! at least Sarah you have the beautiful niece to satisfy part of the baby need.

No change in salary or anything like that... still says no traveling, but I am not very sure about that, considering the other Account Manager I would be supporting is in another city.......

Told her I need to think about it!! if I was changing supervisors, I would have said yes already!!! :lol:

[willsmama]

So, why would you take the change, if it means no 'change' for you?
Is it better oppertunity?

[sarahlynn]

i think you need major change claudie like new job, new marrige :) i hear nd is nice :lol:

whats for supper tonight ladies?

i need to get lulu winter jammies her poor little arms have been cold when she wakes up at night.

umm anyone elses toddler wake up still at night?

[Momto3]

Absolutely Sarah. Katelyn wakes between 3am and 4am every night and wants in our bed. This is a little hard to say no to since she is in our room still. I know I know.

[newmami]

Not on regular basis, Sarah
Yeah I need a new life... I am just taking my kids with me!!!

The only change would be more work (YAY!! I need to be busy) and different responsabilities beyond what I do right now........
As it is right now, I support 2 account managers.... they are planning on taking one from me and assign him to another assistant, then I was supposed to assist a new one, but she gave me the news the new manager most likely would be assigned to another assistant... that leaves me with just 1, which really is not enough work = not so much job security if you ask me.
That is what irks me the most, they give me all this BS about how much they appreciate my job, how competent I am, but then they take all responsibilities from me..... am I missing something???????

Good grief. You can sure talk! I've been getting things done so I can go get Lex. They're filling up the church as a shelter, so they're calling it off tomorrow. Dh is off tomorrow, too. My work is not.

I'm off soon to get to the store.

Ok...... I think I need to take that other job opportunity... I just talked to the Real Estate account manager (the one I am supposed to dicth this month) and before he said he would do whatever to keep me working with him... now he said, ok I will help you with the transition to the other assistant.....

Aaah!! another proof of how people just plain SUCK!!!

[willsmama]

That is lame Claudia.
I hope the new job is better for you.

[Momto3]

Take to new assignment. Maybe some fresh type of work will be good.

[lexsmama]

Take it, Claudia. You need a change of scenery.

We will stay safe. I got extra water, everyday groceries, candles, and batteries. Oh, and a cute little boy with oily hair. lol. My little man with cradle cap...

I hope it gets through without too much damage. My dad evacuates 6-8 hours before eye landfall, Clau. Brenham, Tx.
