Afternoon Ladies!!!

Yikes...so many posts I'll never catch back up!!!

AS far as the house issue goes we are now in the waiting mode. The bank is supposedly suppose to let them know if they are even interested in a short sale by the 18th. If they are then we have to wait for that whole process to go through. Once it hopefully does THEN we do the inspection, appraisal etc needed to close our loan and hopefully get handed the keys and move.....god how I hate to move!! I hope all the girls have boyfriends then so the can all come help move ! so we are excited but it is tempered as there are still a million ways it can fall apart.

I think it was Chester who asked about the Ex...lol. We get along ok...but she is a control freak and tries to impose her will on me when it comes to the kids and that causes a few tense moments from time to time. Also she likes to cry poor and look for more money for the kids from time to time, even though I already pay close to 20% more then the original calculation called for...so that can cause some major headaches for me..with her and with the fiancee. I don't know how she'll feel about us living so close. I'm just worried my 17yr old daughter will have a fight with her mom and storm out of the house and come to my house. That won't go over well..lol. Can see a screaming battle between the Ex and the fiancee. Funny thing is they are both Cathy / Cathie so when I get married they'll really share the same name...heck same middle name too!! Mail man might be confused then..lmao!!

I have my son's first middle school baseball game today. I hope he gets to play..as he is one of 5 7th graders on the team and mostly 8th graders play. We shall see.

Oh ya...I had toast with peanut butter for breakfast, toast with peanut butter for snack and left over baked ziti for lunch with my fat free pudding snack.

I hope everyone is starting to feel better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to the grindstone for me, so I can scoot early to go see the son's game!!

Oh ya....you guys are nuts with all your boob jobs and tummy tuck talk...lol. I hate fake boobs on a woman..they look so..FAKE!!! I'd rather saggy real ones then fake ones...but then again I won't really be seeing either from you guys so who am I to say... Just seems to be a whole lot of money wasted in my opinion. If you have a ton of flabby skin from losing a ton of weight I could understand that a bit...but the other stuff...nah!! must be a girl thing!!

Hey Everyone! Hope it's been a good day so far. This will be a quickie, since I need to be getting ready for work....but don't wanna.

Breakfast : Slept through it...didn't get my sorry self outta bed until 9
Lunch : four cheese lean pocket , and a caff free diet pepsi
Dinner : I've packed talapia, green beans, and strawberries

Sox: You've lucked out with two women with the same name. I can't think about how many times I've called my honey my ex husband's name. Not on purpose...just slips somehow. Luckily he hasn't taken offense to it. Not many people could get along with the ex and move closer to them. Many props for wanting the best for the kids. Best of luck with the new home. I could see how it would be fustrating waiting in limbo, but hopefully it will go as smooth as possible. Moving...I loathe having to move. I moved in with my honey...only an hour away from my studio apartment...after packing, loading, etc...you would have thought I was moving across country.
Good luck to your son tonight!

Lz : I don't think there will ever be enough nurses. They keep adding on, and building new hospitals around me, but the patient load still exceeds the amount of beds. I dream about work alot, always the feeling that I've forgotten to do something, or set up something on the wrong patient, some days it's so crazy that I'm fearful I will make a mistake. With 5 nurses, 33 patients, 2 cnas. and 1 of me ( on a good day). Unfortunately our med/surg floor has become the pysch/detox/confused/combative/ med/surg....just craziness.

Packs: Feeling any better? I know it's gotta be hard taking care of everyone else when you need to rest too. hopefully you'll get some well deserved rest.

I feeling the hubby bashing. Some days he's wonderful...others you would think his a"" was glued to the computer chair...I'm talking 12 or more hours....I swear the house could fall down around, trash could be piled to the ceiling, he could have worn the same pair of boxer for a week....but raiding is top priority.....says he can't help because he doesn't know where things go....how hard is it to figure out where the plate goes? Dude, open the cabniet...put it on top of the others,,,,..open the drawer...see the other t-shirts, put it the others in there.....

Okay I vented...time for work...

sorry i didn't have a chance to get to everyone

Redsox- If I get surgery, you will see. I wil be posting on the internet, billboards and anywhere else I can get space

Ok guys I know I'm a little late today but better late than never right? This has been a rotten, terrible, long day that I wish would just end already. I have been thinking long and hard lately about not going through with this wedding of mine. I know shocking right? Well don't get me wrong I love my fiance with all of my heart but something has got to give. We've been together for almost five years, and engaged for four of them. I always thought that he would grow up and mature more than he is, and focus on a career and everything. But none of that has happen yet, he is in a dead end job, I ask him what he is interested in for a career and he says the same thing every time "I don't know". So in the mean time I am busting me you know what to finish nursing school so that I can support him and a family that we will eventually have? I don't think so. I do the cooking, the cleaning, the laundry, work fulltime and go to school fulltime and I just can't take it anymore. On nights that I have off he usually doesn't stick around he usually goes over to his friend's house after dinner, and when he doesn't we sit and watch tv in silence. When I ask him what he's thinking about he says "nothing, I just don't have anything to talk about". I just don't know, there are qualities about him that I love but nothing is changing. He knows how I feel and just keeps telling me that things will get better and he will change but that never happens. Today I was so upset about all of this that I had to call out of work, and i never do that even when I'm sick.

ENOUGH VENTING.....

Breakfast- Multigrain Cheerios and water
Lunch- yogurt, water, apple
Dinner- Tuna sandwich, and water

Sorry I'm not going to everyone individually tonight, I'm just not in the mood to stay on the computer. I'm going to take a hot bath, put in a chic flick and go to bed. See you all tomorrow...... Thanks for understanding.

Good Morning!

Last night was eery...work was completely dead. I was so nice to catch a break. Gives everyone a chance to kick back, gab, and just relax a bit. Keeping fingers crossed we have another slow night.

Today I have a plan : I'm gonna find my sneakers, and use the Y membership. I used to love to go to the gym, and didn't feel complete until I went....then as I got busier, the couch seemed more appealing. I'm hoping if I make myself start going I'll start to enjoy it again.

Nothing too exciting happening. Haven't decided on breakfast but thinking the low fat yogurt with the m&m stir in. Found them at Wally World. Breyers...only 4 g fat 110 cal....if it involves chocolate it can't be all bad. =)

Sox: How did the game go? Your son get to play?

Disney : Hun, I really don't know what to say. You need to figure out what you need from the relationship, and if your needs are being met. Sometimes it's not about what job you have if you are happy and are making a decent living. I know you would like for him to have more ambition, but maybe he is scared and unsure about making a change. Talk to him about your goals, and the goals you'd like to achieve together. Do you have common interests? Is there something you can do together on your days off? My honey likes his alone time and it seems like we don't get but a few hours a week together with my schedule. We have a "date" night once a week...we both clean up, go to dinner. It isn't always fancy...pizza, burgers..but gives a chance to catch up outta the house. Just some ideas.

[LZ]

Well, I really rose to the name of the challenge yesterday.

B-fat free coffee creamer
L-@2:30 1/2 sonic burger w/must; <1/2 fries;<1/2 sonic blast
D-3 saltines;squash casserole.

Calories weren't too bad at 929. Fat was 36, a little high. I paid with indigestion last night. I will eat better today!

I was up 4/10 a pound at the diet Doc. (138 on his light scale)He didn't even blink when I told him I just got off the prednisone. Just wrote out me new script for 60, 37.5's.

40to lose, where is the Breyer's? Is it in the frozen section or in the dairy? That does sound good.

Wow, it sounds like you are in a difficult area at work. Good luck!

Mark, house deals are stressfull. You could have a new house for my birthday on the 18th! I hope everything goes smoothly.

I don't aspire to the fake boobs, but would love a tummy tuck. Not very likely to happen. I am older than most of the gals and Hubby doesn't care. Also, considering my height and the fact I've lost almost 50 pounds it doesn't look too bad. No stretch marks. I really don't think I care enough to go through the pain and expense. I'd rather put in a pool.

Disney, I hope things look better today. Relationships are difficult for sure.

Michele, I'll be watching for your billboards.LOL Good luck to you and Chester on those scales. We have to pay and pay again to get our phen.

Ok, I have got to accomplish something. Have a great day!

[lmball]

Hey guys, no Dr. for me today. I am sick again. I swear I used to never get sick, now I stay that way. I lost 4 pounds acccording to my scale. If it will just stay off.

Disney- If things are that way now, I would think it through, because as most on here can tell you annoying habits do not get better after you are married. Goals and career are serious issues. Think about it, you have your whole life to get married. Be sure before you do it.

Food today- Saltines, and they haven't stayed down. So technically I have eaten 0

[disneybride]

Todays-

Breakfast- Multigrain Cheerios, water
Lunch- Yogurt, water
Dinner- Baked chicken, Wheat and Grain Rice, Water
Snack- Carrot sticks, water


Hello everyone, I'm going to make this short today because I have to get going to work in a bit. I just want to thank everyone for listening to my problems, it really helped me to get feed back from you guys. After both of us got home last night we sat down and had a very long talk, there were tears from both ends and we agreed that we do not want our relationship to end without a fight. We begin couples counceling next week, we both feel that if we have someon else there to hea what we both are feeling it might help one and other to understand where the other person is coming from. We love eachother with all of our hearts, we both know that, there are just some bumps in the road that we need to smooth out. Like my mom said if it was meant to be than everything will work out. I think everything will, but I think that we could both use a little guidence along the way. So thank you again everyone, I really appreciate the friendship you have all shown me.

Ok I'm gong to get going to work now, I don't get out until 2am, so I will talk to everyone tomorrow. Have a great night!!!!!

Hey guys. My weigh in today was 142, but I think it was more at 143 and she was just trying to be nice. It's one of those scales that you have to move the weight at the top and the thing balances in the middle when it's at the right spot. Well, whenever this one girl weighs me, she always goes a little lower and the thing hits the top. I didn't think that was right. Not that I want to weigh more, but I want it to at least be accurate. Either way, I go by my scale at home. It's the only one that I know for sure is consistent.

So far today I've had...

B - Fiber One Bar
L - WW meal
Snack - about 6 Snackwell cookies. Yikes!

Red - How was your sons game?

40 - Give us more info on the Bryers.

LZ - At least you at half of everything. That's better than the entire thing.

IM - Sorry you're sick again. I was thinking of you last night when I was watching the BL. I thought for sure I could hear you screaming all the way from TN when the tears started falling.

Disney - Here's my two cents for what it's worth... Better to find out now that things may not work, than later down the road. I'm approaching my 9th anniversary and the things that bother me about my husband before are still present today. He makes an effort (sometimes) to fix things, but it's hard to break old habits. I think it's wonderful that you guys are going to go talk with someone. It's nice to have an unbiased opinion on things. Here is something that has worked for us. Over this 15 month deployment we started giving each other "marriage topics" to talk about. One week he would initiate one and then next it was me, and so on. Granted, all this was over e-mail so it was a lot easier to get things off your chest without getting into an argument. Which we still did on occasions. I would keep all of the e-mails and created a folder on my computer to save them to. We've actually gone back and read through a couple of them to refresh our memories as to what we agreed to do. For instance... My biggest grip with him is that he is SO dirty. And by that I mean he's not a cleaner. I had to stress the importance of a clean house to him over and over again. We made a list of what we considered a Level 1 cleaning (basic straightening up) and a Level 2 cleaning (drawers, closets, baseboards, etc.) and how often each had to be done. Then he listed what he liked doing, hated doing, and didn't mind doing. I did the same. Then we came up with a schedule that we both could agree on. I know it sounds silly, but if that's what it takes, so be it. Some other topics were; personal appearance, s e x , hobbies, eating healthy, leaving work at work, raising the kids, dealing with each others families... Can't remember the rest without looking at my folder. Anyway, the point was, it got us talking about all the things that we liked, didn't like, and could live with about each other. You will always have your ups and downs in any relationship. It's all about compromise on both ends. Just make sure he's willing to compromise as much as you are. Relationships are work. Some days it's a good day on the job, and others it's not. Good luck!

Are we ready for BL talk yet? Has everyone watched it yet? Let me just say, I want to be like Ali. I love her!!!

BBL

And about coming to Hawaii.....seriously, it's a great place to VISIT but I've lived here for almost 3 years and i'm ready to GOOOOOO! My husband is in the Army so we will be headed for Colorado at the end of the year!
