5/16 !!!!!!!!!!ROLL CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dixie, OH MY GOSH!!!! I think that it would be so scary to see my little one standing on the stove with three burners on. Thank God that yours didn't want clothes on at that time!! So much for big brothers keeping an eye out! I told my hubby about these incidents and he was real shocked about the bull. How was the bull pulling your Matt into the pen? What ever would have driven him to do thaT? HOW SCARY!! Now, you have been in the 170's? I hope to get there soon - been at 184 lately, until that time of month when I hopped on the scales and it said 192! How in the world did I gain 7 pounds? Then I weighed Saturday morning again and was down to 185. I'll take that weight over 192 and attribute the gain to woman stuff. Anyway, snacking is evil, but necessary for me sometimes. I think that I get low blood sugars at times. The other snacking - I just need to get rid of as well. Now, if you are not getting enough sleep, you probably are justified in not going to the pool. Get rest, eat right and get to the pool! You can do it - you have done so well thus far and are really inspiring for a lot of us! Keep up the good work. By the way - don't tell your DIL about 2 year olds, let her live in her personal fantasy world for another couple of years! Blessings your way, Andrea

I can so see you running around the yard with your panties on I wonder if he is going thru a growth spurt.....sneaking in the middle of the night for food!!! We have had a couple scary things like that happen and it was ALWAYS when the were in the terrible twos! We lost Kaitlyn once in the grocery store We also caught them outside (the twins) at like 3am on the front porch watching lightning.....the very next day we had locks put on the upper part of the doors.....they figured out the door lock and deadbolt!!! The scariest was probably for my hubby.....I had Kaitlyn and Kristyn and Madi outside.....it was in November so Madi was maybe 1.5 and the twins were maybe 3.5years old.......well I was watching them run around from front to back and Jason was on the roof putting up Christmas lights.......well all of the sudden I heard him cursing like a sailor (which he normally doesn't do) and I went a running in the back.....kaitlyn had got on the deck, climbed up the ladder, wiggled her way past the gutter and had joined him on the roof.....he almost lost it......he was so scared and mad.......Plus she had walked to him and he was on the other side which is two stories......When I got around back he was already coming down the ladder with her......he still says that was the most scariest thing ever!!! Kids can cause some serious trauma to our minds can't they!!! Thank God tho that they are safe!!! My goals this week are the same ole same ole.........just hopefully do better at them......I want to get into the 150's and stay there.....I like to bounce back into the 160's tho....apparently my body likes it there!!! I can't wait to see you on Wednesday!!! I wish you luck this week staying sane Take Care Jesi

I also know that feeling....heck when i was about 6 months pregnant with my daughter, my 2 year old came up missing. Now to set the mood...lol....I was very sick with my daughter , had toximia very bad(as a matter of fact 4 weeks after this incident i had to give birth) and i was tired most of the time since i worked a lot at work trying to save money cause FMLA only paid 55 percent of my wages. So i woke up from my little nap....only laid down for about 1/2 hour and he was sleeping as well. When i woke up i searched our tiny apartment for him..couldnt find him. The door to downstairs was open and the door to outside also open. I was freaking. I ran around the block yelling and searching for him. To add to my fright at the time there was a sex offender, accussed and convicted of raping small boys that lived 2 blocks from us. I was crying and then i gave up and went back to the apartment to call the police to tell them my little boy was missing. What ever possessed me to call grandma was beyond me and still very much is. I called grandma to see if maybe just maybe they knew where blake was. She told me that brian, my exhubby now, took him over there not to long ago so i could get some rest. I immediatly fell to the floor and i told her that it was fine that he was there, brian forgot to leave a note and i had no idea where he was. I bawled for about an hour after that. I am happy that you had found him safe from any kind of harm like we all did. To many times as we all know that this sort of things happen with not so good outcomes. Praying your family remains safe from all harm becka

Hiya Andrea...I know exactly how you feel! About 2 yrs ago we were in Iowa City for a Hawkeye football game, staying at the Super 8 right there in Coralville when at 3am there was a knock at our hotel door and there on the other side was my 13 yr old daughter who was sleep walking, talk about scaring the crap out of us....this has happened again since even though she didn't get out of our room the 2nd time she woke us up cause she was trying too and banging on the door cus the door bolt was locked!!!! So now she sleeps with me and I practically have one leg over the top of her..... My goals for this week are too eat right and exercise more with the nice weather!!!! Janet S

Good morning everyone!! I'm not working today because I have my first meeting with Dr. G's office today (yea, I know, I won't actually meet him for awhile) I woke up with a sore throat, not good. The 2 yr old I take care of part-time has had a nasty cold and cough for the last 5 days so it figures that I would get it. So far I just have a sore throat so maybe it's temporary. Hey, I can dream!! My 2 yr old scary story: Back when my son was 2 years old (wayyyyyyyy backkkkkkkkk, he's 25 now) we were living about a mile south of Knotts Berry Farm in CA right off a very busy 4 lane road (Beach Blvd.) . I was at work and my X and his mother were with the kids that day. My son loved to watch the older kids play in the apartment complex so we would let him sit on the top step where we could keep an eye on him. (we lived upstairs). Anyway, one of my X's brothers was visiting and decided to walk to the corner market and my son got up and followed him. The uncle didn't know he was behind him and my X didn't notice Brandon gone. They heard a knock on the door about 15 minutes later and there was a cop holding my son, saying they found him walking up the sidewalk beside this 4 lane road. He had made it to the corner and was just about to cross the 4 lane road. My son didn't talk much yet but was able to point to show the police where he lived. I, of course, didn't find this out until I got home............I was none too happy with the X and inlaws but glad I didn't come home while he was missing. Wish me luck and I'll let you know how it all goes........Leslie
