Thankful Thursday WLS Express

good morning TMB - I might need to be a TINY bit more awake today then I am right now  - I very carefully cracked the egg into the mesuring cup holding the other egg shells and tossed the shell in on top of it, instead of into the muffins - oh well I hit the commissary yesterday and got eggs so it wasn't that big of a deal

we are going to walk K to school and then take Rach to hourly care her "school", clean out the van and head to Savannah to get my father in law from the airport - crazy as it seems, I mean I do like Clark but he is just not a warm fuzzy touchy feely guy, I am super excited for him to get here - I haven't seen anyone from home in 3 months and I am way way ready, will grab some lunch and hit sams for milk and salmon burgers and sliced cheese while we are up there - I get milk from there in the palitized bottles - they are square and have airspace at the top and freeze great -so I just get like 8 gals and put 4 in the freezer and am good on milk for most of 2 weeks - works great for us

yesterday Tim and I took Rach in the trailer and rode up to the commisary and went grocery shoppping - he was amazed at how much grocerys I can pack in that trailer around a kid - I was amazed my legs didn't fall off riding home LOL my blood sugar did crash, my own fault, we stopped for chinese and it didn't sit well so I didn't eat more than a few bites after riding 20 mins then shopping for 2 hours (we also looked at other stores) and riding 30 mins home with a full trailer - got off my bike and about fell over - must RElearn to eat aroudn doing stuff like that

sorry this got way long -
hugs to Annette this morning - its hard but worth it girl - give him a smile and a hug and wave then go home and fall apart on Matt, those broad sholders and strong arms are there for you :) so you can

do what you know you need to today - take your vits, get your water and protien, take a walk, hike, bike, stroll, flight of stiars or trip to the gym but MOVE YOUR BUM today - you had this major surgery to get healthy NOW DO WHAT YOU NEED TO to get and stay that way

hugs to all
peace
Danni

Good morning.  It's hard to believe it's already October!  Come post on OBEDIENT  OCTOBER if you want to be accountable and plan for your eating each day.

I have 2 ARD meetings in the middle of the day...one to move a boy into regular math (yeah for him) and one to send a boy to AEP for 2 fights at school, then one in the community...may have assault charges for that one. He may not see the hs campus until almost graduation...not smart thinking on his part!  I have lots of paperwork before and after.  I need to do one more load of laundry at home tonight and hopefully go walking if its not raining after work.

Prayers for all who need them: Alissa for healing, Annette for sending her young man Josh off to help our country...hugs to you girl.

Have a great Thursday...only one more day until the weekend.

Karla

GOOD MORNING! I got up when Bryan did so he could help me bathe. I can't belive I have to have help for 3 whole weeks. Oh well. The foot doc said everything looks good. They re-wrapped my foot so its less bulky. I will get my stiches out on the 16th and then maybe I can move to a sandal instead of this big boot.

We found a costume for Chris last night. We went to a Halloween shop in Grapevine but their prices were outrageous so we went to WalMart and they had one he liked. He's going to be a Ninja.

Karla-good luck on the ARD's today-hope they go smoothly. Danni-have a safe trip to get your FIL. Michelle-looks like its raining over in your area-hope you get your walk in. Loralea-hope your foot heals really quickly, sorry you are injured! Dana, Kathy, and Becky-hope today at work is a good day as I know its been stressful for you all.

Have a great day everyone!

Heading out to watch my son get sworn into the Navy, praying he ate enough this morning to weigh in at 108.5.  Then to the airport to see his flight off.  I'm so glad I get this extra time with him.  It's making it a tab bit easier.  

 

Good Morning All,
Seems like so many need special prayers this a.m.  They are going up for each and every need.  Especially you, Annette.  Today will be very hard for you, but God will protect him and give you peace.

Still have a sore throat.  Need to hit the sal****er again this a.m.  Charlotte was out with vomiting yesterday but seemed fine by last night.  About to go over to DD's, so will see how she is this a.m. 

Not much going on today but keeping the two younger ones.  Got to run to the dr. for new presc. on my meds.  Mostly allergy meds., but can't go without them. 

Hope everyone has a great day!

Blessings,
Carol

Gotta go in to the office today for a meeting this morning and then am headed to the bowling alley for mandatory team time.  Crap!  I have no interest in my team and no desire to bowl.  Can't I just come back home and work...alone.  I don't work inthe office cause I don't like these people, I certainly don't want to spend "fun" time with them and I guarantee you this will be a beating.  Argh!! Well, at least I can wear jeans and a suit isn't required.  lol

Better run.  I usually don't shower and dress till lunch time.  I gotta go fight my way in for time in the bathroom.   

Hi everybody !  (-:

I weighed on the Wii Fit this morning and am up a few lbs, so will be watching it pretty hard for the next few days.  Ick.  I ordered a wedding dress over the weekend and definitely can't afford to order another one if I gain weight - but no pressure, right?  (-:

It's Thankful Thursday, and what I'm thankful for is that I got to have my morning prayer / Bible study time this morning, and it was awesome, as usual.  Also thankful for too many other things to even list them all...  God really does meet all our needs....material and spiritual.

A little sleepy, tho.  Didn't sleep well.  )-:   I DVR'd The Biggest Loser from Tuesday and watched it last night before I went to bed.   Thanks to that, I'm assuming, I spent the first half of the night dreaming that I was eating tons of crap and couldn't stop myself.  I then woke up, went back to sleep and spent the rest of the night dreaming that I was trying to do aerobics but couldn't see the instructor, so couldn't follow along.   So....maybe leave work a little early and get in an afternoon nap.  (-:

Hope all of you have a good Thursday -

Lori

Hi, all.  I've peeked in during the week but didn't feel like posting.  It sounds like your Dallas conference went really well.  You all sounded so excited.

I've been going through a frustrating time -- cir****tances are working out, but depression is stealing all the joy and motivation.  A nationally known band has asked me to lead their fan forum.  My husband and I have found and are buying our retirement property.  My latest book went live.  And one of my songs will get air time in California in a couple of weeks.  I should be on my rooftop shouting for the joy of it.  But no...

My eating is out of control.  Neuropothy pain is relentless.  And the depression...grrrrrr!!  It's been a long time since I've had it this bad.  With the storm moving in, I woke up with a killer sinus headache (but I can deal with that.) 

Enough griping!!

Alissa - I'm glad your healing is progressing on your foot.  A friend's husband needed help in and out of the bath, etc., when he had surgery and she said it brought them closer together because they had to take time out for each other.  What a blessing.

I've rambled on enough, but I do feel a bit better for posting.  Community is so important.  Thank you all for being here!!

Belle

Sorry the depression monster is getting you down. I can certainly identify with that. Now that I'm home all day this week the snack monster has gotten the better of me.
I think Bryan and I are already close but yes, whenever we have had one of us sick or had surgery has always brought us closer.

You are right- community is so important-I'm glad you posted. I know after my 1st husband died my first inclination was to never join in because staying home or keeping to myself, seemed easier BUT when I did reach out I totally felt better. It was just forcing myself to put myself out there. Hang in there-keep posting-we are here for you!

Good Morning OH Family!

Yawn.......went to bed at 3am Summer called Laylabug was throwing up, than she called again at 6am....and 8am. Thank goodness she took her to the Dr this morning. Bless her little heart! Work is still going well. Steve Miller Band will be there tonight so it should be fun. Well better drink another cup of coffee and start getting ready for work. Special prayers for our Annette as her baby boy goes off and comes back a "man" Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Going to try and plan a dinner/meetup next week on the "Westside" next Tuesday I need some peep time! Pout.....did not get enough Saturday night.

Your loved!
