get up and enjoy life today!!

what are you doing to make it a great day?

name 3 things that YOU can do today to make it a better day (and yes SB counts)
Home is where the army allows me to live with my husband

I know what I need to do - I have to choose to take care of me or I choose to fail

my 3 things are easy - work out ( two options now - home with Rach asleep or at the gym with the child care there I prepaid for yesterday)
do the on line stuff for school $s
call the school counselor back at 1 and finish registering and get ready to start classes in Nov

I spent part of yesterday chasing my own tail - my nero is willing to treat my migraines even nursing (everyone else told me go home deal with it and come back when you wean your baby) but wanted me to talk to Rachel's pedi about my meds just to make sure, pedi (after I track her down) says oh talk to the pharmacist, pharm says oh did you talk to your doc?  did my own research  - blessed to have some good places to work from K's Pedi when he was a baby) and the preventative stuff is harmless and the other one is not great but better than it could be and I will use it sparingly but have to have some relief  and is better than any of the other options - will just make her sleepy - as long as I am not taking it to often - then it will become an addiction issue for BOTH of us LOL

saw the sweetest thing yesterday - all 3 of my kids unloading the dishwasher together, it was just so cool - Rach is finally able to do stuff and she is so proud of herself - even if it is just handing spoons to her brothers

my weight is still sitting on the low side of my bounce - got to get in better shape - I need the physical great shape to deal well with the rest of life right now

hugs and prayers for all
take care of you today and tell someone you love that you love them - that extra hug or kiss doesn't take long but it sure can mean a lot

Well, I don't know how wonderful it's going to be today.  Woke up this morning and found out the water was running under the house!  UGHHH!! Gotta call the plumber AGAIN!!  And neither T or I will be home!!  Maybe mom or dad can come down here and let him into the house!  I don't know, I'm getting tired of plumbiing problems!  I had to wash in cold water this morning, BRIEFLY, and then we turned the water off to the house!!

At least I put in for three jobs last night.  One is in GERMANY working for the Army!  Wow, would that be great or what!!  I've always wanted to go there!  Anywhere in Europe would be great with me!!

Oh well, guess I'd better get going!  Not to take a shower, but to warm up and get dressed!  Ya'll have a great day!  Love ya!!

Good morning DANNI and all !! 3 positive things to help my day, so far:

1. Did 30 minutes on the treadmill already (ain't much, but more than BEEN doing!!)

2. Tuesday's vitamin baggie is already in my purse

3. RTD shakes are in my work fridge and protein bars in my desk-those are my pre-planned lunches for this week. I skipped lunch all last week-PLANNING to do better this week.

Non-WLS related, I made my work "to do list" for this morning before I left yesterday, so I could sleep better, and not be dreaming about "what to do first today". I find this really helps me.

I have busy, busy work day, then ladies' meeting tonight..no Abuelo's dinner for me...whine...whine...Still working out details for the conference...

Prayers all around-and I don't take that lightly!

Hope everyone enjoys their TERRIFIC TUESDAY!!

I LOVE Y'ALL AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!

Are we the only two up?  I've been up since 3:40 even with Ativan and Lunesta ugghh.  Well I'm officially back on blood pressure meds, stress will do that to you.  I'm going to order the book 8 Minutes of Mediation and work on self help stress reducers.  Gotta do something.

Ok 3 things that will make it a better day?

Definitely Starbucks this morning on the drive to work.
That my boys don't fight when they wake up and get ready for school
That I manage my work schedule today and realize I'm one person and I can only do the job of one person.

Dana, dear.  I don't mean to harp, but, um, are you still smoking?  That would help also!  And I know it's difficult, but you probably need to lay off the SB!!  Total caffeine overload!  Can I find out how many more vices you have and tell you to lay off those too?!?!  Sorry!  I love you and want you around for a while!

Caffeine beats homicide...just sayin'...and speaking from personal experience...DO need to drop the cigs, of course--can't think of a POSITIVE purpose for those nasty things

have to agree with Gina on this one - they are improving your childrens life expectancy right? I for one will probably never give up caff.   - can you quit smoking with out gainig weight and getting homicidal? if not then I say (and will get bashed I am sure) wait till live is a little calmer - like after you have your gyn surg - I am not nagging Tim right now to quit (he picked up his pipe agian) but we agreed that when he gets home from Iraq he has to be nicitne free

love ya girlie
