Sunday Roll Call
Hello everyone
I had a good day yesterday. It was actually kind of nice to have the day to myself. I was able to accomplish so much. I still wasn't to get everything done I wanted.
So yesterday there was a little drama. I was so glad I wasn't around. I'm not really sure why Chris's ex is all of the sudden starting to act weird but yesterday there was more drama. I guess he went to go pick up the boys and she start crying and telling him that she can't make it here and that she was moving back home (she is from the Philapines). That she would leave the boys with him. He said he got the boys ready and out of there as fast as he could...while she carried on. He told me about the whole incident when he got home. I asked if she was prone to these outbursts and he said sometimes (I was trying to figure out if this was something we should take seriously). And I asked if she said these things in front of the kids and he said yes. Those poor kids. They need to hear their mom crying about going away and abandoning them??? I really bite my lip when it comes to his ex now. But I did ask...would she do such a thing...abandon her kids. I mean I would like to think she's a good mom...or could this just be a cry for attention??? I said this to him. He said he wasn't sure. So to say.... #! I am glad I was home all day and not having to deal with any of that. #2 I guess I am realizing more and more just how much drama it can be to have a boyfriend with an ex. And after what happened last week I decided I wasn't going to let that stuff get in our way. Yesterday I was just an ear for him to vent and talk to. I didn't let any of it bother me and I didn't feel threatened or jealous.
Well today....hmmm. I have to make my detergents today. I didn't get it done yesterday. I'm also making dinner today. Chris is coming over and we are just going to relax and spend the afternoon/evening together. I also I am getting in a workout. I have been changing my workout to a more weight training and less cardio. Before I did 45-50 minutes of cardio and then 20-30 minutes weight training. I am changing that to 45-50 minutes of weight training and 20-30 minute of cardio. I have been reading more and more about how they are saying that the best thing for losing weight you need to focus on weight training. That we got it all wrong focusing to much on cardio. That building up muscle is what burns calories and fat. So this is what I have been focusing on. And I tell you I am sore a lot. Right now my legs are sore. Ugh!!!!
So what are you all up to today???
Well of to start moving....see you all later...bye
Good morning,
Happy Sunday to everyone. We have two parties today, an open house this afternoon for a young couple who just bought their first home and later a " welcome to the neighborhood" for the people who just moved in behind us. We have had wonderful neighbors so I expect these people will be also.
Kay is doing the Sunday crossword puzzle and I need to look up answers for her.
Have a great day!

Good Morning,
I was having problems getting in yesterday, so I never posted.
We had a big family/ friend bbq yesterday. We were able to show off the new deck, and have one big party this summer, before Hubert closes up the pool. It was a lot of work, but so nice. I think it will become an annual thing.
Besides that, Friday night a friend from Bellville, in southern, Illinois, came for the night. Unfortunutly, she had to leave yesterday morning. We did stay up way late talking, so last night, I was actually asleep before 11.
This morning, I roasted some veggies for this week, and I have a roast on for dinner. Now it is going to be relaxing all afternoon.
Have a great afternoon and evening,
HUGS,
Lisa 
Hello Everyone!
I have been mia a few days. I have been spending all my free time on the phone trying to find a doctor. And either they are not taking new patients, or are taking your information and say they will get back to you (meaning they will pick and chose based on your insurance etc) or yes they will take you but you cannot get an appointment before the first of the year. 
This is a nightmare as I need to get a test for my blood thinner meds which I do on a regular basis because that med is so hard to keep regulated plus I cannot get a prescription refilled. I have to have all new prescriptions. Also most doctors want you to have your medical records and the FBI states we cannot get them for 60 to 90 days and we have to go to Chicago in person to get them. This is beyond ridiculous. It is a nightmare.
I had my last iron treatment yesterday so that is out of the way. No more of those for awhile. That was under a different doctor.
Today I am playing lazy and cuddling cats. My depression is really getting to me under these cir****tances. On top of that isi my handling time at work. I have not made it down to the goal for the month. I do not know if I will be put on a final written warning or not. I find that out this week. So it has not been a good week.
All I can do is try to hang in there. I t has to get better.
Connie, I am so thankful that you are feeling so much better! You are starting to sound like your old self.
Kim, good luck this week traveling. Please dont over do it.
Crystal, I am so sorry that Chris's boys are having to go through that. That is awful. People can be so selfish putting thier needs first.
Lisa, I am glad your party went well. I am sure your new deck is fantastic.
Dawn, hope you are enjoying the labor day weekend.
Sharon, hugs to you and G. Your summer party sounded like fun.
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Crystal,
I weight train 3-4 days a week. It makes my joints not hurt as much. I use 5lb weights, but I think I need heavier ones, because everything seems easier these days. I also LOVE the machines. The weight training machines are awesome for weight training. I also take a class where we use our bodies to build core strength. That is a great class that makes me sweat bullets.
I have a personal question. Is Chris's ex from the Philippines or is she US born? The reason I ask, is because G was stationed in the Philippines for 3 years and he has tons of insight into the culture and the women. Apparently he had a few "girlfriends" while he was stationed there.
I'm glad things are settling down. All relationships have speed bumps. The best advice when you hit a speed bump is hang onto each other for dear life. Love and respect are gifts we give each other.
Hugs,
Sharon
Greetings and Salutations My Dear Ones,
It's another hot one today. I thought I was going to melt in church. G went to his mom and dads today after service. Since his mom abhors air conditioning I decided to side-step the occasion and stay in the house where it is nice and cool.
I am happily doing laundry and tidying up. The party last night was nice. The weather turned around and the night was delicious. Just enough breeze to keep the skeeters away. I love 3 day weekends! Since I am unemployed, I dont know why I love them, but I do.
Nancy, what a pain regarding doctor selection. Who prescribes your blood thinners? That person is technically responsible for making sure your levels are decent. I know my cardiologist has a coumadin clinic once a week for patients to just walk in all day to get their levels checked. He is at Silver Cross. He is in the group called Heartland Cardiology and his name is Dr. Sankari. I adore him. He is the sweetest most lovey-dovey doctor I have ever known. When I was 356 lbs he never once condemned me. He was always gentle and warm. I go to him for everything. He is in New lenox right off 355 and I-80. If you want his number let me know. BTW, i hate your job. I do not like the way they treat you.
Lisa, blessings my dear as you go back to work. Enjoy what is left of the weekend.
Connie, I must meet you and see your face. You sound like a real gem of a lady.
Dawn, enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend and enjoy the quiet next week when everyone is back at work and school.
Randy, enjoy what ever giant meat you are grilling or cooking this weekend. It's probably some giant beef brisket that is tender and juicy.
Crystal, you always get done what you set out to do. I am envious.
Kim, are you traveling this week? If so, be safe, If not, also still be safe.
Hugs,
Sharon
Stay safe,
Kim
