Well I'll see what I can do Eric! I was at the Dr last night and no progress (no dialation). I did have some serious contractions on the way home but they passed.

As for me today things just seem off kilter - not good or bad just different. MY alarm went off and said 6:48, well I am usually clocking in at work at 6:48 so initial panic sets in then I realize it isn't light enough out to be almost 7am. Checked Chris alarm and it was only 5:20 - 10 minutes BEFORE my alarm should have gone off. So I got up, took the dog out, took a shower and packed my bags for work. I stopped at the convenience store for transmission fluid to put in my car (CHris told me last night that it was leaking) - on a side note, here is a woman 9 months pregnant at the store with her hood up trying to figure out where to put this damn fluid (Chris drew me a picture - love that man!) all these contractors even a tow truck guy walking right around me - did ONE ask if I needed help? NOPE! BUT I did it  myself and made it to work. SO at 9 I'll walk next door to see if the mechanic can look at it. But things just feel different today - maybe it's baby day? Maybe it's just a weird wednesday.

After work I want to stop at Kohls, it's the last day to use the Kohls cash I have and I want to get something for my Mom for Mother's day. Then home to walk the dog, make dinner and relax.

Good morning all - the one good thing about these boards is that we're all not going thru 'bad' things at the same time and are able to pump each other up when needed and prayers are limitless, so thank goodness we have each other - as for myself I am going through a very relaxing, calm time in my life now - things have settled down since mom's passing - hubby and I are getting along much better - my nephew is 99% done with the painting projects I've had him working on - and we leave for vacation 2 weeks from today so I'm a happy girl - and that being said I am sending many hugs and prayers out to all our OH friends who are struggling with family or personal issues right now. Trust me folks, it will get better!!

I'm at work - beautiful day out there - tonight we're having leftovers so I will take a nice, long walk with the dog and get on my bike. I didn't make it last night - just too much going on all night - but tonight should be a different story.

My nephew is down to the his last painting job for me - the steps going down to the basement - he should be able to knock that out today then I can give him his final payment and send him home. Monday he starts a new job and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn't blow it - especially since they just found out his gf is getting laid off at the end of June.

Otherwise life is good - I feel good - and am praying for everyone out there to feel better as well. Liz, you have two weeks to pop that baby out before I'm off-line - let's get a move on!!

Good Morning All...

Another day in paradise for me....(insert rolling eyes)......

At work, hoping the day goes by fast. Then home to start job #2...my oldest daughter is taking her Prom dress to be altered, youngest daughter has CCD tonight, Wednesday is usually my "kid free" night...well since my oldest is 18 she's never around anymore anyway.

Lisa, I had to have my anti-depressant increased last week, just was in such a funk and so overwhelmed! It's made a huge difference already!!! Good luck!!!

I do have a question tho...my 14 yr old is struggling. She joined a new softball team on Sunday. Doesn't know anyone, she's on the shy side and has a weight problem like I did growing up. When they were running around the field for warm-ups, she had to stop halfway and walk the rest of the way. My heart was breaking for her, as I know she was embarrassed. Then she had an asthma attack. She sat out most of the rest of the practice. The girls were asking if she was ok and not worry about it, but it threw her off for when she did go in to field or hit. We talked on the way home about really trying to lose weight, getting in more exercise and getting healthy. I told her I'd do whatever I can to help her but she really needs to put forth the effort. Oh how I wish there was a magic pill I could give her....anyone have any suggestions on how to help teenagers with weight problems? I told her we would get her private hitting, fielding lessons for softball, she's an amazing ball player but her weight is holding her back. She's live in the shadow of her tall, skinny, blonde, cheerleader sister for 14 years......in her eyes anyway.

Any suggestions would be soo appreciated!!!

I wish I had advice for you and your 14 year old.  We are going through the same thing, but with mine and her oppositional defiant disorder, anything I say to her means nothing.  She seems to care about her weight problem, but not enough to do anything about it.  She will not try most sports because she can't keep up.  She tolerates the Girls on the Run program, but she mostly walks.  I'm happy she participates in it at all and gets a bit of movement in.  If I ask her to walk with me, she tells me she doesn't want to and won't go.   I don't have junk food in the house, but she will eat way too much of whatever she does eat and I have found her to be sneaking food, as well.  She is on her way to where I was.   It kills me when I look at her and see that we wear the same size.  I am thrilled that I am where I am, but I am not thrilled that she is.  She is currently about 40 lbs or so overweight for her body shape.  

This is the story of my life Lisa! Funny how our girls are the same. Kassidy cries and cries that she's overweight and yet won't walk with me, do the Wii, curb her eating. She thinks that since she eats salad it's ok...but her salad is a huge heaping plate!!! I can't stand to see her be made a fool of in front of girls she doesn't know but seriously I'm at a loss. Kassidy is about 30lbs overweight but built like her DONOR, and has a huge belly. She wears her pants under her belly. Talk about hard finding clothes for her!!!! I wish I could afford a gym for both of us!!! I've found Kass sneaking food lately too.....ugh!
