Everyone sounds so busy!! My middle child and his ex-is having problems as usual....so she is going to jail....domestic...so of course I have the 2 grandkids..4 yrs & 19 months. I went back to work at the school on Monday and was planning on being kidfree this 4 day weekend. But thats where my stress of this all comes in.. They both need to grow up so bad! But you have to take care of the kids,its not their fault they have jack ...es for parents!! Guess I should be thankful my other 2 didn't turn out this way!!!!! But I get just so upset with the tied down feeling that I am grazing all the time!! My hubby is an over the road trucker,so he is leaving for Florida tomorrow,not much help from him! He does when hes home and he keeps telling me to quit my job and go with him on the road!! But WHO will take care of these innocent kids???? Surely not their parents...but they don't want to sign them over to us......loss of welfare stuff ya know!!! Anyway thats my unplanned plans........sorry so depressing..but guess I am bummed today!!

Hi all - Its funny that a lot of us are paired with engineers. My boyfriend is also an engineer. My sister is coming to visit me here in San Francisco (she lives in Washington DC), so I need to do some MAJOR cleaning/de-cluttering of my studio apartment, and I hate cleaning/de-cluttering. I'm not sure what she and I will be doing this weekend, but it will be nice just to see her. The last time she visited me here was 4 years ago. I usually see her when I visit the family which all live on the east coast. Have a great weekend, Heather

Oh, I've done sooooooooo much better today Each time I've wanted to put something in my mouth I have tried to drink!! Gotta love those instant skinny latte drinks (35 cals each) !! I've also managed to not drink with or after my meals which has helped too B - cup of tea L - 1/2 slice bread with 1/4 cup baked beans & 1oz cheese (actually had double the amout on my plate and couldn't eat it (woohoo!!) S - 2 cookies (40 cals each) D - 1oz rice with 1/2 cup chilli & 1oz cheese I'm going to TRY and not put any more food in my mouth tonight - it may take a few more latte's, but at 35 cals each instead of the 100 or more that other snacks might be I feel ok about it. Hope you all had a good day too - if not, don't for get tomorrow is a new day

You'll get there Ruth! One morning you will wake up and there you will be. Century Club. I had to rescind my membership in the Century Club but am trying to reapply Have a good weekend, Heather

Having gone through the transatlantic move 2 times I can get a bit of what you are going through - of course, I didn't have the moving in bit of family also... Is this a sudden move to Norway? How are your children taking it - exciting tho'. What about your business - are you planning to set up there? How did your summer family visit go? I've been thinking recently that I'd like to move back to America - but maybe it will have to wait until my daughter finishes school and moves onto high school in 4 years time Hope your weekend isn't too crazy and that you find a bit of peace in all the arrangements. Just imagine going through all this before wls......
