Where is everyone Wed WLS Express

Alissa - no problem with the conductor, just wacko, crazy busy packing, loading and getting ready to get this show on the road...literally!!!  I posted MMWI this week and was very surprised at the response to it, found it hard to keep up with all of them. This week is crazy, insane!!! The little ReloCubes showed up yesterday and I spent the afternoon filling one of them with boxes, am glad the movers are coming tomorrow to load the furniture, I'm getting too old for that crap. The boxes almost KILLED me!  Thank goodness I have a good dolly and I put it to good use yesterday! Best $20 purchase I have ever made!!! I've gotten my money out of it and then some since I bought it 10 years ago. I really need to add some upper body exercises to my regime, shoulders and upper back are screaming in pain this morning! But got a great workout LOL!  It's scary how good I've gotten at loading boxes, I can get them in good and tight now! Is experience I DON'T really want to perfect any more. 
Am fixin' to get back to the grind, I need to make more progress before the "slave driver" (#2 Sis) shows up this afternoon.  She's a hard taskmaster, for sure! 

Have a great day everyone!  Hugs, M

You are doing a fine job as conductor! I always read the train, but don't always post. I feel like I say the same things a lot and don't want to do that!! LOL Nothing new to add! Plus, I haven't felt well for a few weeks and I don't want to sound all negative, so I read and go on.

Prayers for your BIL and his family, to Meggie and Deanna and any others that need them!

Let's make it a positive day!!!

hugz,

Good Morning!    I've mentioned why I haven't been around much as the constant whining just brings me down.  We all deal with aches and pains, depression, anxiety, sleepless nights, layoffs, children, finances, etc.

Some people are more apt to put their personal business (all of it) on the Internet, some don't.  I could write a book on this year, what we've faced and continue to face but I'm not.  I talk to those I need to when I need to without bringing it all here.  I don't believe everyone needs to know my business is the first reason.  The second reason is people need positive support, especially those dealing with WLS related issues and I prefer we focus more on helping those (in the words of Ramon, Pay it Forward) than me putting my family or person issues out here for every Tom, Dick and Harry and I don't think our personal problems help those looking for WLS support.

I'm not pointing at anyone is particular here......each can take from it what they want.  There will be some that will look inside themselves and see what we are talking about and others that this will go over their head because they don't realize the negativity they bring to the board.

Well I best say it is not the conductor. Me I am stuck in exciting Wichita, KS. Trying to find something to do on Friday as flight is not till 5:50 and no earlier flight. Really wish they would have let me drove as I could be back with my sweetie on Thursday evening.

NO PROBLEM WITH THE CONDUCTOR(S)........

LACK OF TIME IS THE PROBLEM -  LACK OF CONSISTENCY ON BEING ON THE NET...NO TIME IN AM TO GET ON MUCH.NOWADAYS AT ALL.............

My woo hoo Wed:     My daughter told me last night at work......THAT SHE IS MOVING OUT.......

MIXED FEELIGNS?        YEPPERS YOU BET ...........CUZ ON HER SALARY.........CAN'T MAKE IT - BUT SHE NEEDS TO FIND THAT OUT............I'm gonna let her try -  maybe that is the incentiative she needs to know that she is gonna have to work  another job in addition to her nightly PT job.....YA THINK?  

Car pyt  400.
Ins    $95
share of rent:   $300
electric  -  $100......that will go up during the summer - don't ya think ?
not to mention, gas, eating out, laundry.......Oh mom has a w/d at home !   hehehe

She only brings home about $700 a month  IF SHE IS AT WORK EVERYDAY ..........

I told her if it didn't work out -  she has her room at my apt..............but when she comes back -  things will be diff (maybe she will have grown up during that time period)

I AM GIVING HER  MAYBE 2 MONTHS -  IF NOT LESS !!  LOL    (JULY 1?   LOL)..... 

MAKE IT A GREAT DAY !!  I KNOW I WILL !!

GO PHYLLIs im so proud of you!!!

 Alissa.....you do a fine job starting the train daily along with Karen and many others.   I am more of a lurker on the train than a poster.   My WOO HOO is my youngest son is going to be a camp councilor at YMCA Camp Cater this summer.   So I will have a ( somewhat ) empty nest for part of the summer anyway.   I am so sorry to hear of your BIL's Mom's passing.   Prayers will be said for the entire family.   Have a blessed day !!!


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Hey You Guys!

It's not the conductor- you're doing just fine. I think the stream of common folks have found themselves busy, done with asking for support, or apathetic. Some days I'm not any of these and some days I'm all the above. No one to blame but myself really. I also think that the further out you get the more one thinks they know. That is until that 10-15 lbs creeps up and then we return. 

My life is crazy right now but I think its all good. I had a pedicure and dinner with Gina last night. I needed that! Nothing much going on in my world today. We may be taking the travel RV to the lake house for this weekend. My parents are coming in from TN for Kaylee's graduation and if we all go down on Sunday then we will need extra beds. 

I am beyond excited that school is almost out! I'm worse than the kids!!!

Love you guys!

OH eats my posts about everyother time I try to post it seems - plus life is busy busy - Tim's deployed all 3 kids are in stuff - even Rach, I;m in school full time and took on being Tim's unit FRG Leader - basically I am the filter that makes sure everyone gets information from the command and the command gets info from the spouses when needed - have about 200 families - and some great ladies that help a lot - add that to trying to live green - less driving more riding and walking - talking to Tim anytime I can, still cooking bunches, and the gym - my days fill up FAST - oh yeah and we of course are the coolaid house so I normally have 2 to 4 extra kids of varing ages and I have set a goal of spending afternoons with my kids being active with them - park or pool or even an indoor play place -

doing ok wieght wise - not super happy, I had put some weight on and then did some major body building and the weight stayed but my close went back to fitting - eating is still a chalange but I manage it most of the time -

miss everyone - I have been around here for a long time and it still surprises me to see new faces

what did the train man call the train? TMB express? you could go back to that if it made it easier for everyone

We love our conductor! Been in hospital last 24 hrs breaking the migraine also known as Belatrix! We have finally broken her and I hope to be back to work so but am taking it easy for now. My woo hoo is that I am pain free for the fist time in 3 weeks!!
