Either trip sounds GREAT to me. Yah getting the passport sucks but since ya need one anyways Mexico sounds like a good reason to get one. Either way have a great time!

Well today we finished Shelby's School supply shopping and all I have now is shoes and some tights for her. I am finally getting the play food washed up for Shane's preschool tonight. Need to take it with me tomorrow. We went to the library today and we got some new books and movies. We only have the movies for a week but I can renew them online. Most of the movies are Thomas the Train but I figured that since Shane will be down and out I would get what he likes.

Okay gals I better get going. I need to get Shelby packed for her stay at my mom's. (bless my mom!!! she is the best!!!!) I won't have time to chat in the morning so I will check in tomorrow night. Love ya both!!!

Shane is going to love all the pampering and he's not going to like it back to normal,poor little guythem babies love to be spoiled,both my boys do,nothing worse than a sick manlord, you wouldn't think nobody has ever had what they had and not like them blah blah blahmen.Hope Shelby has fun at grandmas,is she looking forward to it,I know when my son was younger he loved going to grams and gramps...spolied,he was the first grand baby,we would be there and it didn't even matter what I said ,as long as gram said it was OK, thats what he went by,kids there funnyI say to my mother we would never got away with that( brother and I) she say's you have more patiences with grandkids,hmmm I said

Morning girlsIt's Saturday

[Bama4life]

Yes, School has been a torture. I never seem to have time to do anything anymore not even sit and post on here!!!! I had a house load last night, 4 girls and Austin, Oh how fun was that?? I am glad that is over!!!


Gosh Roo I would love to get some fresh canned tuna, what do you think Tammy? I bet your parents will love that for Christmas!!! Having learned from recent experience, the trips are not all what they are cracked up to be and not all that you "think" they are going to be, so Roo if I was you, I would go for the computer! I would surely buy that computer instead of spending all that on a two day trip! But that is just my opinion, KWIM Vern??

Tammy, how's that little Shane? Is he doing okay? I am sure he is, and yes I know the peace and quite is wonderful when they are down and can't move, Lord I wish the house o'girls I had last night had been down with something! GLAD THAT IS OVER!
Anyway, hopefully everything is going good with you both, I am just trying to take it day by day! I was doing good on the WOE until yesterday, I had stayed on plan for two weeks, and then BOOM! I got off because I was to lazy to fix me something, I was tired and worn out from the hell I had dealt with all week!!!! So, I am still off but I am getting back on tomorrow and will do my best to do well! I am just stressed right now and not dealing with it all to well! Every little thing bothers me!! And of course all I ever do is clean house, cook, help with homework, help with projects, drive to two schools and back, and the only other places I am ever ALLLOWED to go is to buy freaking groceries! I never go anywhere fun, Rob never takes me anywhere, I am just treated like the slave and maid!! I am so fedup! I just want to scream! OKay, now that I have vented, I will get off here and find me a new chore to do so master will let me make him some supper!!!

Muse wanted me to share this with my team

Think Two Steps Ahead-Find the BIG Picture
By Joe Downie, Certified Physical Fitness Instructor
The house is a mess, the kids need a ride somewhere, you haven’t sat down in hours, and you have 10 minutes to eat something.

It’s 1 p.m., you’ve been working non-stop to finish a project because your boss is breathing down your neck, and it’s time for a quick, 20-minute lunch before getting back to the grind.

We often face situations similar to these two. Normally, we choose to think one step ahead. “I am tired, hungry and stressed out. I need to eat something quick. I don’t care what it is!” Unfortunately, those decisions come back to haunt us in the future, only adding to the stress already in our lives.

After a long day with the kids, doing laundry, reading books, and working on night school homework, you might have to decide between exercise and a couch that is screaming your name. Another difficult decision we face on a regular basis, and once again we often choose to think one step ahead. “I need to rest – I’m so drained!”

The difference between one step ahead and two steps ahead can mean the difference between staying on the fitness roller coaster or achieving your goals. Two steps ahead, we are still tired, stressed and cranky, BUT also determined, committed and able to see the big picture.

What is the BIG PICTURE? It’s different for everyone. Having a few thoughts that motivate and inspire you will help fight through step one and see that vision. Here are a few:
· “My self-confidence is going to be so much higher because I’ve struggled through a difficult situation and found a way to conquer it!”
· “I’ve had to find a way to deal with things during a very stressful time in my life. I can’t wait to see what I can do without all the stress!”
· “I’m going to be able to keep up with my kids and be a part of their lives for a long time!”
· “Why shouldn’t my health be the most important thing in my life – it doesn’t make me selfish, just smart!”
· “If there is one thing I have complete control over, it’s my health. I am going to do whatever it takes to figure out a way because I have pride in who I am!”
"Step Two" reminds us how important consistency is in reaching our goals and helps us envision that beautiful feeling you get when you work hard to achieve something.

Start practicing now.

Step One - “Oh, what a great idea. I should try that sometime, but I really have to go clean my oven.”

Step Two – “What a great idea. I’m going to come up with three things that will motivate and inspire me each time I have to choose between a healthy and unhealthy decision, and I’m going to write them down so I see them on a regular basis! Now, I’m going to go clean my oven!”

UMM!! That sounds SOOO GOOD!!!!!!

[Bama4life]

OKay, where is everyone???? << Foot Tapping>> I have noticed that Tammy hasn't been around on here lately since her vacation. I know you got back on plan after that fall off didn't you girl! Hey, no worries, I have been off for the last three days and I tell you I don't care! For the last two weeks, I was on plan and being so perfect but wasn't losing and was swollen and mean acting so I got fed up and said forget it right now, I am done, then I saw on the news here to try to not each so much protein, (something about the heat) Anyway, that gave me all the more reason to eat what I wanted and so yes I have, I will not lie and act like I have been good this past weekend because I haven't. The schools are stressing me out, Austin is having all these problems at that horrible school and those stupid teachers except for one are NO HELP! I couldn't deal with it anymore so I started eating whatever I wanted. Yesterday I ate sausage biscuits, then an energy drink and peanuts, then two corndogs, then at supper I had two hotdogs w/buns and zesty french fries and yes I felt like S*** but man it tasted GOOD!
Today is DH's 40th birthday and we are going out to eat and I am picking him up a cake and some treats from his favorite bakery, so no, no plans of being good today. I have fallen and fallen hard so I am going to need some big help from somebody to get myself back on!! I keep thinking I am getting back on plan but I just don't do it! HELP GIRLS< I NEED IT!!!! Because right now I don't care or see any reason to get healthy and lose this weight!!

Okay Sis, I think you just posted my post as well. Yes I have been off plan but I am not beating myself up over it. I have screwed up and screwed up I have. I have to admit I have not been exersizing either. I have a cold right now, TOM is here, and I am dealing with Shane. (He is doing great I must say!!! Poor baby. He wants to eat everything and can't ~I must be doing it for him~ He sure is a trooper!) Oh and Shawn is going for a promotion. I have a feeling he is going to get it but I can't get my hopes up to much.

Summer is almost over and Fall is in the air. Roo do you feel it? I smell it, is that weird or what?

My home is so a mess right now. Totally unloved looking. If I can get my butt moving before 4pm today I may just get it ALL put back together. At least my laundry is mostly all caught up.

Okay gals, I WILL be back later today. Maybe posting in here more today will help get my arse in gear!!!
