And...this is exactly why I like the idea of your graph!!!!

Ailuros....It's already 9:30 there. When will your husband get home? He's not late is he? I'm soooo happy that you didn't get the forecasted snow!!!

People find that odd is all..
We have some educational software.. No computer games.
They probably wouldn't run well on our old computers at home anyway..

According to the airport web-site, his plane's just landed. Then with clearing the airport and getting to our house it will probably be nearly midnight when he arrives.

Well...guys...I have to run to town, and get back to make supper. So, I had better get going, but I will be back later.








And....Hippie.....If you didn't get it from my posting...YES!!!! You should do it. It will help you two-fold. It will help your self-esteem, and all of that belly dancing....will be exercise for your weight loss!!!!

Well...once the oldest was old enough to be "his own boss" , he went out and purchased a new, large, fancy computer...put internet in his room, and started playing some game called, "World of Warcraft". I've told him how I feel about it, but he's 21 now.....he'll have to learn on his own...I guess!!! It's another one of those things that I've tried, and tried to change...but can't. So, I'm not going to worry about anymore.

What happened to everyone???

Hey Click!

Thanks for the input, guys! I don't think I'll be taking up belly dancing any time soon, but I do want to try to get the attitude of confidence going more. I have my good days and bad days. I guess like anyone. But I do find myself not wanting to go certain places, etc because of my weight.

Click - I've been thinking about this the last few days, but wasn't sure if I should post it or not. So here goes...

I think you should live your life however you want to in that house - your stepfather be danged. He doesn't respond positively to any of the tip-toeing around that you do - so why bother? Stay up late, make noise, and by all means use the kitchen. Just smile and thank him for his input every time he has something to say. But it's ridiculous that you have to try to accomodate his every wish - especially since he seems to change the "rules" every day! Screw him! He hasn't earned your respect, so he doesn't get to have it! You should be able to cook your food if you want to, and do your homework when you want to, and use the bathroom when and for however long you want to. I think you should start spending HOURS in the bathroom every morning. Just revert to being a teenager. That's how he treats you anyway! And it sounds like you do plenty of chores around there - you are definitely earning the right to LIVE there!

Thanks soooo much ...hippie!!!!

All of what you said...has crossed my mind. Although he hasn't earned my respect...this is their house. I don't feel "at home" here, and I would feel that I was "wrong" if I acted on my thoughts. It would only make things 10x's worse if I pi$$ed him off. Plus...he'd complain to my Mom...until they told us to leave. I'm trying to keep everything as "smooth" as possible....my kids do not need to hear anymore. I just keep counting the days down.


By the way....I feel that I do enough around here too. Geesh!!!! I feel like their freakin' full-time maid.



Thanks for thinking of me....it's nice to know that people care.

Well....Goodnight everyone!!!!


Sleep well!!!!

[hippiegirl]

Good morning! errr...it's technically morning here. Barely.

[*Pear*]

Morning everyone!

Hope you all are warm and no outages due to the storms.

I'm down a few of my balloon weight. Hope some more goes away in the next few days so I can get back to losing.

Not sure what we're doing today. There's a hockey game tonight and the super bowl tomorrow (I hate sports). Guess I'll be finding other ways to entertain myself.

[*Pear*]

Hey Hippie, we posted almost at the same time.

[jeanran]

Good Afternoon,

Pear you can join me here at the puter when everyone is watching the Super Bowl. I'm not a sports fan either.

Congratulations on keeping the scales going in the right direction.

Hippie, keep us informed as to the changes you are making, you have a great cheering section here.

I'm sure Tooter is enjoying her family this weekend and lovin' on baby girl.

Click, are you cookin'? How is the school work going?

I think I am in for the day so I will be in and out.

Heck no....I'm not cooking!!! That would make too much noise, and disturb someone!!!!!

I wish that I could say that my homework was moving right along, but my mind is too clogged today to think....I'm going to attempt to do some school work now though!!!!

I have some apartments mailing me their applications!!!! AND....my money should be here next week. I'm aiming for March 1!!!!

[Lost and Found]

It sure is quiet here today??????!

[Lost and Found]

Hope that everyone is having a wonderful day!!!!!

[Tooter]

*waving* I'm babysitting Irelyn tonight! My Oldest is in a Band and they have a "gig" tonight, so "Grammy Tooter" gets to Spoil her. She's sleeping right now.

I guess all the kids will be over tomorrow to watch the Super bowl. I don't watch the game...I just look forward to the commercials.

I'm making tacos (low carb and high carb) Beer Brats and Chili for the Super Bowl.

I also stocked up on air freshener for all the "barking Spiders" that will most likely show up!


Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

[Tooter]

Oh, I wanted to give you a "heads up". Super Walmart has "KC Masterpiece Low Calorie BBQ Sauce". Only 2 carbs per serving! We had it tonight (BBQ CHICKEN) and it was really good!

[*Pear*]

Hi everyone, we're back from Cabelas. We had a ball there.

I took some pics with my camera phone, I'll post them as soon as my phone is done sending them.

[*Pear*]

Its a pretty big store, lots of animals to aim a gun at....

[*Pear*]

One of these almost attacked me in my backyard once, when hubby scared it away...

This seal was bigger than I am...
