Just taking a few minutes to say hello to my OH family. I am so sorry I have not been here in such a long time.
I work 3 hours in the AM 6-9. Then I am home doing housework, errands and work. At 2:30 PM I am back off to work till 6:15 PM. I am loving my job and have even been promote to Activity Center Leader! For the most part, the kids I am with every day are great kids. We do have a couple of girls who have special needs. They kick, bite, and hit, then I must call the parents and the child is suspended for the following day.

My house is finally done with all the construction. Two months of having crews in and out is a long time. We are pleased with the work though.

My weight has remained stable within a 5 lb window but I dropped another size! I went shopping last weekend and got size 8 pants!!! WHOHOOOO! The last time I was an 8 was my freshman year of highschool and I only got there by eating nothing but popcorn, tuna, and drinking TAB.

I had a little scare with my health. I was FOS and impacted. I 'go' every day but started having pebbles so to speak. I called my surgeon who gave me some remedies and after a second day of trying, it worked. I seriously felt like I had and alien trying to escape.
Why the sudden problem? I attribute it to having one less glass of water during the day for 4 days. (I forgot to take my water bottle to work with me)

I hope to catch up on your posts. Thanks for being here...its great to be HOME.

Hey Jen,

Good to hear from you! Glad you are enjoying your job what a wonderful one to have. I'm glad to hear the house is completed. It gives that sense of security when there are not a bunch of people in and out. CONGRATS on your weight stabilization! I too notice a difference in my system functioning correctly when I don't get in enough or the right fluids. I seriously take bottles of water with me 1) in my purse 2) in my car. That way I don't forget to have something with me. Hugs to you....

You are a busy bee!  CONGRATS on the promotion!  WOOHOO!  :)  I'm glad to hear you are wrapping up the construction and can get your homelife back on it's regular schedule.  It is so frustrating to have the household in a muck for so long while the workers are doing their thing.  AND you dropped another size, WOW, you go!  Now you got a cute little size 8 butt to go with those fantastic gams of yours.  FYI - if no one knows, Jen has the BEST legs!  I'm so jealous.  :)  :)  :)  I'm glad you got the problem sorted out and get back on track with the water.  That is one of my biggest challenges.  I know i don't drink enough.

Hey Jen!  Don't feel so bad about being MIA...I'm guilty of it too.

Size 8, eh?  You suck!!  I'm sooooo jealous!!!!  One of these days I will find the way & the will to get back on track.  I just need to get through some of these ruinations of late.  And when I DO get to where you are, we need to go shopping together.  I can't even remember when I was in a size 8 last.  I 'm so proud of you!!

No more butt-crack workman?  Ah shucks!!  You'll have to post pix of your new bathroom, right?  It was a bathroom remodel cuz of busted pipes?

Pebbles are not good, unless of course you're related to Fred Flintstone.  Glad you got that problem worked out.

I'll make ya a deal...I won't stay away so much if you won't?  Deal?  Welcome home little sister!

Hugs!
