Tuesday check-in

Good Morning Everyone!

How was your day yesterday? What are your plans for today?  Please share.   

As far as yesterday went, just let me say "I hate Mondays"!   Mondays are bad enough on their own but to have been off for 3 days before, it just plain sucked.  Not that I need to add more to that but I was chilled all day yesterday, even with the space heater under my desk.  


For today, I am back on liquids as Ms. Picky is on a rampage!  I was up all night with very painful gas!  I think I irritated her with milk based food.  I did take lactaid with my protein pudding yesterday, but I don't think it was enough.  I am more intolerant as time goes on.

I will be on my Gazelle this morning for at least 30 minutes before I get ready for work.  Today will be more catch up at work, lots of protein shakes, broth and hot tea will be included in my day.  Nothing exciting today.

So please let me know what is on you mind, agenda, etc.

Have a Wonderful day!                 

I had 4 days off and it wasn't enough.  I went back to work yesterday but it was a very light day.  Today should be more "normal".  I hate normal!  It is better than bad I suppose.  Enough rambling....
Cold.
I am almost sad to say that I am glad that our son is back to school.  It is not for the normal reasons you would think.  My husband takes time off when  he is home.  Not from work or anything.  He takes time off from being involved.  When either son is there or anyone else for that matter, DH feels like he doesn't need to contribute to any conversations.  He goes into his own world and stays there.  I hate it.  He zones out and doesn't join in on anything.  We were out to dinner and he said maybe 4 things the whole night.  I called him on it big time once we were home alone.  Is it too much to ask for some attention from him?  Geez.  He is better when he is the only one with me.  He can't let others do the work. 
Other than the cold and a too quiet husband, things are good.  Still hitting the gym daily and enjoying the benefits. 

Sandy, I love the new photo!

thanks.  Sometimes it is weird to see myself.  I look like my sister, not really what I think I look like.  I am a big old girl still in my head.

Sandy,

You look FABULOUS!!! I love your new avatar! Just stunning!

Ahhh, thanks Barbara.  Got to love the webcams.  It is so easy to take a picture of your self now.  That is my new work out shirt.  Has a nice little pocket on the sleeve for the ipod.  I have it in 3 colors because I love it so much. 

Your photo is beautiful!!
Now down to husbands. I completely understand what you are going through. Mine will actually go to the bedroom and nap(?) while company is over. No talking will ever change that.

I would have to set the bed on fire with him in it.  lol

Sandy - love the new picture.

Cold!!!!! Dressed in 1000 layers!!! Enough said on that topic.

If yall read my post from yesterday on the check in then you'll know we have been adopted by a neighbor's dog. Yep! She's still in residence and they (the owners) don't seem to be concerned at all. I'm a sucker for a dog. David is supposed to go talk to them tonight about us keeping her permanetly.

I cleaned house like a crazy woman this past weekend. I swear you cannot tell I lifted a single finger now. I looked around this morning and there was "chaos" everywhere. I guess David and the dog had a block party after I went to bed last night.  There were empty snack cake wrappers. Yesterday's newspaper was scattered throughout the entire house - yall know what I'm talking about - sports section by the sink in the bathroom. Front page on the floor beside the recliner. Comics on the coffee table. Local news on the couch. WHY??????????? It aggrevates my nerves to no end. Then there are the piles of coats and sweatshirts. We have a coat closet beside the front door. We have a huge walk in closet for the man-childs clothing. Again - WHY?????? This morning there were 8 or 9 coats, jackets and sweatshirts draped over the back of the recliner. OMG!!

Okay enough grumbling. I'll accept it as proof that both of us are alive and well in a normal relationship.

Hope yall have a great day and stay warm. If you've got elderly neighbors or relatives - please check on them to make sure they're okay.

Ok, i have to verbalize it!!!! I HAVE STOPPED WORKING OUT!!!  I haven't done a darn thing since before Christmas.  Yesterday my goal was to start my day with a good Wii Fit workout... but before i got to it, i had clients calling and needing "stuff", then i was already late for the appointments i had, and had to quickly run out.  I know, i know.... i have to stop making excuses and get my ass in gear!!!! 

Got to do it today!!!  i've already had calls from a client requesting more "stuff" (they're going thru a major transition) and i'm already stressed... i NEED to work out!!!! but having a hard time making myself take the time!!!!
 
This will be a really stressful day, too many things on my plate... and it's only Jan 5th!  I know it will only get worse (I'm an accountant and work for myself, by my self) so i have to get a plan together.  Ok, that's it... i'm going to stop ranting and get to work.... TTYL!!!
