4 gotten 1: It is also something that might not hit HOT Tamale until she is older! Did you mean hit my daughter or hit me? I'm a little confused. At 40 (and feeling 70) there isn't much I haven't already been hit with!

bjw · 06-23-2008, 01:13 PM

Zer did you get out of the house today? I sure hope so. Don't forget your canned chicken would make yummy chicken salad.
I had 2 fried eggs with some sausage for breakfast
1tbs peanut butter for snack and 1 coffee with cream,sweet and low, and 1 tbs powdered cocoa. I checked the can and Aldi's powdered cocoa says 1 carb per tbs.
It is 4:00 pm here now so lunch is a no go. I needed a jolt from the caffein in the coffee as my energy level just went down alot.
Gavin loves to play Bubbles and I thought that pic turned out well.
I am having hamburger for me for supper as I just did not want unbattered chicken wings. Hubby will have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Hagd!

Pcola Girl · 06-23-2008, 01:29 PM

Just wanted to peep in again to see how everyone is doing.
Had a bad streph throat beginning last Wednesday and just beginning to feel better today with it. Have no idea where I got it from.

Its really hot here and we have been getting alot of bad lightning storms in the afternoons to from the heat.
Its clouding up now so I guess we will get another one today.
I learned to unplug my computer now when it lightnings so it won't get zapped like it did. That surge protecter I had on it was no match for that lightning though. I got a new stronger one so hope it will help but with that lightnings million bolts hitting it I don't think anything would help it.
So I just unplug everything now.

My cat hates that thunder nad lightning to and she will hide under the bed until its all over.

See you later. be good.............

Nope. It's closing on 4pm and I'm still thinking WELL, I *COULD* GO OUT, but it's not happening. Straightened out my bed and tidied up my room just a bit. Talked with a neighbor across the hall as she folded her wash and I thought I might haul a wash to the laundry (about now) when the sun hits my window and the room's temp rises fast. But my leg aches me from the little moving around that I did fixing my bed and stuff. Just put it back up and that helps.

Maybe mañana....

Chicken in a can? Might turn into a meal for me, with a mustard-roquefort and mayo dressing, if I get to the kitchen. Still have 3 HB eggs in the fridge, for a cool snack. Probably will cook up some more eggs, if I get to the kitchen, just so there are cold eggs waiting for me to munch 'em up. Great snack, HB eggs!

Jean how old are you.... I know people that are in there late 60's having it done and doing wonderful.....

bjw · 06-23-2008, 04:50 PM

Mycattz,
I am 54. My insurance is awful now that we are aging and need it. I could not justify the expense at this time of my life. DH loves me fat and we have made a pact not to burden each other with health care bills of an iffy nature.
Our stocks have fallen almost in half since the gas crisis and I am worried about the time when hubby can't work anymore due to his authritis.
Our house will be paid off for the second time in August and we plan to finish getting out of debt and save save save as long as we can.
I wish this had been an option when I was younger..but ..I have a loving family and lots of friends and I still believe I can do it on my own.
I am so happy for you..
Good Luck and best wishes,
Jean

That's quite an achievement, to be sitting in a paid-for home! Good for you. And you can sock away that payment to build up your savings!

bjw · 06-23-2008, 04:56 PM

Zer,
I am rooting for you to go out tomorrow. I will be your cheering squad.
I am going to take Gavin to a free summer movie in the morning. It will be his first try in a theater. I am dreading the seating..so uncomfortable. But he needs the exposure so I will force myself out in the heat and sit as long as I can or he will, to watch "Charlotte's Web"
I would stay home and never go out I think if not for Gavin.
I am much more motivated for him than for myself.
Love to all,
Jean

alaskanlaughter · 06-23-2008, 10:14 PM

i'm just having a sad night

i vacillated between eating good today and starting to binge...i ate real well most of the day except one spot where i had a good-size piece of cake...and then i did good watching if i was hungry or not etc. until i got home and my older son wasn't there and the niece wasn't there and then i ate a buncha spoonfuls of ice cream...and then i was good and cleaned up the house and started to make dinner...and then hubby's mood got worse and worse...i know it started because he found out an old friend passed away yesterday, he found out today, so he was in a pissy mood and i can deal with that, but when he gets grumpy he tends to try to pick fights with me and make me the bad person so he can get angry at someone...and i dont put up well with being the easy target...

so he starts picking fights and i really dont respond to it, because i want to make dinner, and he gets more and more upset until he's calling me foul names...so i just turned off the burners and put up the food, took the toddler and we went for a drive for awhile so i wouldn't murder him

and we played at the playground for awhile and went home....of course he was STILL upset and pissy but he laid off the name-calling etc. and made himself and toddler some food....when he gets angry there really is no stopping it and i just try to hold my own temper and not make it worse but i made it clear that i refuse to be his easy target just because i'm home

so he ate and seemed to get better and left to go see a friend and i put baby to bed...and had a few more spoonfuls of ice cream...but then i cooked some broccolli with cheese and ate it with SF juice

Zer · 06-23-2008, 10:26 PM

Alaska, so sorry your partner cannot deal with his feelings without targeting you - and I applaud your exiting the scene, taking your baby and moving away from the anger. Guess you have to find some support, if he is not able to be a support for you. I'm glad you don't let him abuse you. Remember: YOU ARE WHAT YOU LOVE, NOT WHAT LOVES YOU. That line just came up in a movie I watch just to hear that line - it's "Adaptation" with my guy Nicholas Cage playing tubby twin screenwriters who have entirely different body images even though they have exactly the same body. Makes me think about how I see myself. Makes me think about how I think about myself. Makes me think!

Hope tomorrow is a better day for you - foodwise and otherwise too. (((hugs)))

alaskanlaughter · 06-23-2008, 10:38 PM

thanks zer.....it's just been a rough few days....i just want to hop into a vat of chocolate ice cream and sleep for a few years...it's TOM also so i'm less prone to pampering angry bears...am cramping and weepy because of my son...and the dog we gave up to the shelter is now up for adoption

which wouldn't make me sad any other time but now it does...ah well...i'm stronger than this, or i will be tomorrow

i wish i could come over and visit you tonight

Funny thing, I was just wishing I had your ph# so I could call and talk to you for a while. I don't often feel that way. Just had an impulse. Strange.

debkeversole · 06-24-2008, 04:48 AM

Zer and Alaskan it's that great minds think alike!

i know what you guys mean ...cyber friends are wonderful and i am so grateful for this board that i can't express it....it sure would be nice for all of us to gather on a breezy porch for a little girl chat or just not chat and watch the world go by a little while wouldn't it??? watching pets and kiddos play and smelling the honeysuckle and sweet pea flowers*sigh* sounds good to me!

mycattaz · 06-24-2008, 05:17 AM

Alaska

so sorry you were having a bad day yesterday, I do hope you have a wondeful day today...

I know from experience what you are talking about... when someone has a bad temp and goes off and it get way out of hand.....

Zer hope you are having a great day today...

Deb thanks for all your support... the pre-admission testing was not bad, i was in and out in about 40 minutes...

Well the scales read 353.6 this morning... so that make me 17.8 lbs down with another 12.2 lbs to go to make my goal of 340

I think I am going to go thur my closet this morning, time to weed out the cloths that I will not be able to wear again, that have gotten to big.... I am thinking of taking them to a consiment shop to see if I can sell some of them... I feel like they will sell really well... the dress I wore on sunday to church was really big on me... and as bad as I hate to get rid of it, I know its time....

I will be back later...

have a great day everyone

Zer · 06-24-2008, 06:05 AM

Feel as if today will be a productive day. Some days I want the satisfaction of doing what needs to get done more than I fear falling down or looking absurd. Funny how strong that motivation to accomplish something can be. Love it!

When I find myself being carried along by a determined spirit, I realize that my body and my pain is a lot less of me than is the spirit that carries me when I am on track and full of the intention to make today a great LC day.

Have a g'day! Make it a powerful LC day! Doing it myself, one step at a time, one bite at a time. That's how my LC plan works - one bite at a time!

Hot Tamale · 06-24-2008, 07:11 AM

One last "explanation" of sorts from me:
I have never stopped BM from visiting DD. She is the one who messed up with the legal paperwork - and DH said no to an across-state-lines visit without paperwork. No one in their right mind would let a bi-polar woman take a 3 year old out of state alone (I would hope...). That said, now that BM does call and has visited - as I already said - I am not going to say no to a visitation - but that certainly doesn't mean I'm going to like it. And, again, to clarify: I said I have never talked badly to DD about BM. One time - after DD asked me why BM didn't call in over a month - I stated that I didn't know - phones are everywhere. I also stated it wasn't DD's fault and she shouldn't feel bad about it. That was it.

I love my daughter and all my kids. I only want what's best for them. Some feathers seem to have been ruffled over all this - including mine - and I'm not quite sure why. Trust me, I've taken the highest road I can dealing with all this for the past 8 years. I have no regrets for anything I've said or done to help protect my daughter.

Thanks for listening.

debkeversole · 06-24-2008, 07:17 AM

((((Hot Tamale)))) i totally understand your position and think you and DH have worked it just right...sorry about anything we might have upset you with

I am not sure where this is coming from! I certainly hope not from my post saying that things could hit later! I in no way thought from your original post that you were anything but a loving mom to your daughter. I felt just more frustrated w/ BM and I LIVED that for 18 years w/ DD and her dad!

People just dont' see the impact they have on a child ....even sometimes a bigger one when they are not even there. I grew up a dad that wasn't around and I know first hand, then had to see it 2nd hand w/ DD the hurt that comes from a parent that doesn't want to be with you!

When I mentioned it might not hit her yet, that was in no way an attack on you, I was just giving you the heads up that sometimes even with the best mother/daughter relationship ( my daughter could would tell me anything and ask me ANYTHING, but never told me how she really had secretly wanted to be daddy's little girl.

It wasn't until she was much older. So my "heads up" was on mom to another, just to let you not, not attacking your mothering!

I read so much on boards how some "moms" w/ "Step" children are always criticizing the "step" child and putting theirs on a pedestal. It sickens me because the hubby they claim to love so much, had that child before he even knew them.....Can't love the child , like ALL children deserve to be loved then pass on the guy...kids and their parents are package deals even if they only see each other every other weekend.

I don't feel that is you at all and I LOVE to reas about that. That little needed and deserved a MOM and you stepped up! Hope nothing I said made you think I felt otherwise!

4gotn1 · 06-24-2008, 09:03 AM

Alaskan: You should be so proud of yourself! With all the emotional feelings you got going w/ DS leaving it would have been so easy for you pick back at him as a release of that and you were strong and LEFT a bad situation!

That is such a powerful thing you did! You should REALLY be proud of yourself!

Zer: I am glad you feel so productive....now bottle that and send me some! I NEED It !

Mycattaz: Just so you know, since you won't be able to do a lot of driving probably ebay is a WONDERFUL place to sell plus sized clothes because they are so hard to find or expensive. Put them in lots by size. Just a thought! Congrats on the weight loss and pre-admin testing....one step closer!

Deb Your like the mom to everyone on the board! LOL! I always feel better seeing your graphics or even reading how you have consoled someone else! that is really an AWESOME quality in a person!

4gotn1 · 06-24-2008, 09:07 AM

Oops forgot...BJW how was at the movies? It is so exciting seeing a child , see the BIG screen for the first time!

Hot Tamale · 06-24-2008, 09:29 AM

THanks, 4gotn1, for your explanation. It wasn't you...it wasn't anyone in particular. Guess I am just touchy on the subject - and I have been misunderstood on it before... Just an additional frustration to add to the situation! Thanks again.

That said, now that BM does call and has visited - as I already said - I am not going to say no to a visitation - but that certainly doesn't mean I'm going to like it. And, again, to clarify: I said I have never talked badly to DD about BM. One time - after DD asked me why BM didn't call in over a month - I stated that I didn't know - phones are everywhere. I also stated it wasn't DD's fault and she shouldn't feel bad about it. That was it. I love my daughter and all my kids. I only want what's best for them. Some feathers seem to have been ruffled over all this - including mine - and I'm not quite sure why. Trust me, I've taken the highest road I can dealing with all this for the past 8 years. I have no regrets for anything I've said or done to help protect my daughter.

With all the emotional feelings you got going w/ DS leaving it would have been so easy for you pick back at him as a release of that and you were strong and LEFT a bad situation! That is such a powerful thing you did! You should REALLY be proud of yourself! Zer: I am glad you feel so productive....now bottle that and send me some! I NEED It ! Mycattaz: Just so you know, since you won't be able to do a lot of driving probably ebay is a WONDERFUL place to sell plus sized clothes because they are so hard to find or expensive. Put them in lots by size. Just a thought! Congrats on the weight loss and pre-admin testing....one step closer! Deb Your like the mom to everyone on the board! LOL! I always feel better seeing your graphics or even reading how you have consoled someone else! that is really an AWESOME quality in a person!

THanks, 4gotn1, for your explanation. It wasn't you...it wasn't anyone in particular. Guess I am just touchy on the subject - and I have been misunderstood on it before... Just an additional frustration to add to the situation! Thanks again.
