good luck on your move.. I really hate moving!

I didnt sleep well. I going crazy with itchy skin and I dont really understand what the problem is it doesnt seem DRY or rashy although after scratching at my stomach and chest for so many days its getting funny looking now. I think Im coming down with a cold too... drainage and coughing blah!

I had my coffee at 3am and now its time for me to get my kids moving and I am, of course, ready for bed now! lol

I have to go get weighed today for month 2 of 6 on my documented diet... I am dreadking it so much
I dont know why its bothering me so much I mean I seriously doubt I could have gained weight this month even though I had been super stressed out and such.

Good Morning Margo. and the rest of the Michigan forum crew.
Hope your DH will be OK after his surgery. Nothing serious I hope.
Hope your move goes well. where in Mi did you say you were moving too?
Tina how is Dub doing? hope he is better now
Jess sorry to hear about Your itching and not feeling well
have you changed laundery soap or skin soap recently?

Well we didn't have a Question of the day. So I will improvise.

QOTD: What bugs you? What makes your skin crawl? gives you the willies? or just plain creeps your out?

Snake is my answer. I hate their slithering movement. Hubby laughs cause I can not stand to even look at them on the boob tube.

Have a Safe Monday every one.
