Wintery Wednesday

Aren't you just so excited??  I wonder if I'll ever get to that point.  Right now I'm noticing all the loose skin on my thighs.  So you think Spanx is the way to go eh?  No cheaper way?  Does it ever go on sale?  I thought you looked great when I saw you, didn't think you needed a tuck.  Were you wearing Spanx that day?
This is a wonderful trip I'm on.  Still losing, but I'm cheating, so my losses have slowed down.  Still going down tho, so that's a good thing.
Hope you have a Blessed Christmas.

Sitting here waiting for the proverbial happy holidays handshake and then we can go...probably around 1...So much food around here during the holidays...I have been pretty good. I have a few last minute things to pick up and I'll do all that tomorrow...last minute fruit market and butcher.



Everyone please have a very Merry Christmas and safe New Year! Please remember to keep our fellow americans in our prayers that are not as fortunate as all of us and our men and women overseas and their families. If you have an extra bite left from your plate maybe put it out for a homeless furry friend too!



Luv all of Ya'll

Aren't those handshakes a joke?  We used to time the president as he walked through our department shaking our hands.  Just seemed like such a farce, but if you think about it, he did take the time to wish us a merry Christmas, even if he felt it was obligatory.
Glad those days are over for me.  I got to stay inside today snuggled under the afghan.

Good morning Michiganders!
It's a quiet day at work today, hospital census is down and lots of employees took this week off work. Quiet...very quiet.

QOTD- What's the happening for the next 2 days: Hubby's adult children, the boyfriends and spouse and grand kids...plan on doing some sledding with the grand kids.

Christmas Day it is just hubby and me. We will be nekked in the hot tub and going to a movie.

OMG what a picture!

hope you will dress before the movie. Don't want you to catch a cold.
LOL

Good Morning!
I had my coffee at 4 am today so I could finish my prep and then was off to the test..am home now cozy on the couch and going to take a little nap.

QOTD:  Tomorrow I work, Friday is just me and DH, I think we will be doing a movie, then on Saturday we leave for Virginia to visit SIL and MIL.  Can't wait, one whole week off of work !  Whoo Hoo ! !

Oh man I would die if I had to transport PIZZAS!!!!!!!!  thats my all time favorite food and I havent had any in ages and ages.

I am feeling uber stressed out lately... fighting with my mother and sister and just ready to move far, far away. I am totally frustrated with everything here. I wish I had somewhere else to go live with these kids of mine.  :(  After the New Year I plan on looking into every resource out there to see if there is some way my kids and I can get OUTTA HEREEEE oh please please please.

I may wrap gifts todday but I definately will have to grocery shop some and then find a way to exercise probably in reverse order though actually.  Do you think I can use the treadmill here yet??? I am still 15 pounds over the listed weight limit on this damned thing.  :( I somehow think it ought to be ok though.

Edie...you look really familiar to me...I always thought so actually.  I lived in GR for 9 years Hmm I wonder if I knew you there. lol  I change how I look a lot so its entirely possible that I may not look familiar in return  ;)  I was probably thinner, younger and blonde back then LOL


tomorrow I am going to play games with my kids and do christmassy activities I will also have to do laundry today or tomorrow and tomorrow night I will be singing in church for the midnight service :)   Its the part Im looking foreward too most this year actually.

ok, off to exercise my stress level needs it!

Jess,
I'm going to sound like a Mom here, but pick your battles with your Mom and sister.  I know how frustrating family can be, but in reality, they're all we have.  They will always be family.  I'm praying that you can take some deep breaths and enjoy the holiday season.  Enjoy your evening singing in church.  I really miss singing with the GM Chorus especially at Christmas.
God Bless You.

Oh trust me I know they are all I have which is why I have put up with all I do.  I  STILL just sit and take it all in and then blow up on my own or take it out on exercising or in emails to my sweetheart but I think Ive had all I can take.  My sisters husband doesnt think Im good enough to be the daycare for their infant... how am I supposed to accept that?!  I CANT...and if I find out that my sister actually had anything to do with it I am done with her too...  this is something we have always talked about how great it would be if I lived closer and could watch her kids... not only would it do great thigns for my life if she was paying me instead of their daycare girl but I would get to bond with my baby niece.  My mother wants her here very badly everyday too but her husband says hell no... he is just trying to make her choose her family or him and I know she is stressing out because she is scared to be alone with 3 little kids but I see absolutely no way this is ever goingto be ok its tearing my whole family up.  Ive been trying to swallow my pride and just live my life but when they are around its in my face...if that makes sense...plus she likes to call me and tell me how wonderful and perfect he is and then call me mom 5 minutes later crying about how much she hates him... lovely lovely lovely

sorry for venting I jsut really needed to maybe
