I am glad that he is helping too. He will have to keep his grades up for the scholarship...so that will help him do well. Joe having some responsibility in paying back is good too.
Well I wouldnt feel bad. It seems that that is how things go...he makes decisions w/his money and you make decisions with yours. You chose to help him.
You seem to be very supportice of your children. I hope it is just a little bump and things get better and

Well we tried and tried to talk this out. He wouldn't talk. And leaving him out of the decision was a bad move - I agree. I told him a couple of months ago that I was going to support Joe no matter what Joe decided. He said fine. (He leaves me out of decisions a lot...a whole bunch actually.) But I don't want to hash all this out online, I was just hoping for a little hug and prayer or two. I am sure this is another bump in the road, but it feels more like a pothole than a bump.

Good Morning Ladies

Anna 's and's to you. I hope everything works out.

Tonia how is your uncle doing? ing for your family as well!

Karen, Kimmer & Heidi the more I read about WW the more I'm intrigued! You all are doing awesome

Well I've been stuck in bed for a few days...I have a horrible pinch nerve in my shoulder. I could barely move I'm feeling much better today though We went out of town for Dh's family reunion last weekend...it rained the entire time we were there. We had fun seeing every one though

OK so today marks day two for me....I'm not really sure what I'm doing. I'm trying to keep it low carb, but it's more like intuitive eating...I've been avoiding in between meal snacking and eating junk. It's been a real eye opener for me so far to actually pay attention to what I'm eating. I haven't stepped on the scale, but I was at 202.4 when I started.

Thanks for asking. I talked to my dad this morning when he brought over my db. He said that he was doing well. He was awake and they were going to get him up and walking today. My mom and grandmother went home to sleep...which is good because I assume that meant he was doing well. They would have stayed if he was not.

Oh, say a prayer for my dh and his family. His grandmother is basically dying right now. THey are only giving her hours. SHe is not eating or anything and that has been about 3 days. The family is all in from out of town and spending lots of time with her.

Cyn~I hope you are feeling better!!

I feel like you..that WW is sounding better and better!!

AWESOME!!!

Mine was messed up.
When I had my wreck back in Dec. we were going to get it fixed.
The stupid guy said we would have to buy a whole new air condition system....$$$$$1500 or something ridiculous like that.
We took it to our local mechanic and he put freon in it and it has worked since.

Someone was wanting some $$$$$$

Well online friends, when it rains it pours...
Danny, my oldest son, was in a car accident Saturday evening. I am so grateful that he is alright - after seeing his car, you cannot believe he is pretty much physically unscathed. He was pulling out of a driveway and the sun glare made it nearly impossible to see - and he pulled his 2005 malibu in front of an old Chevy truck. Nobody was seriously hurt - thank GOD. When I saw his car... I was overtaken with emotion. HE IS ALRIGHT!!!!!!!! The engine of this car was lying away fromt he car, the front wheels were torn from the car, and the passenger area was completely fine.
Honestly, I know that GOD reached down and saved that guy - I just know it.
At first, he was "why me..."..and the next morning he said something told him that he just got the biggest break of his life.

Good morning ladies!!

Well my dh grandmother passed away peacefully on Sunday night.

My uncles is doing AWESOME

Dieting wise...not so good...but I am thinking of doing WW. Imagine that...I just didn't want to have to count and count. But I have to sacrifice something if I don't want to be fat ....right!!

Good morning, Kimmer. What plan is your dh doing?
I see that you put the parfaits in your menu today..I loves those things!! is it with the granola?
Hmm, I wonder how many points I have.
I had to delete everything from my computer awhile back and lost the awesome sites you posted. Can you post them again?

Thanks

Anna~I am so GLAD that your ds is ok!!

Tonia if you google Dottie Weight Watcher the site comes up. You can find everything on it from how many points you get to all the restaurants listed.

Yep the parfait had granola and was really good! I was surprised! I was just hungry

The part that irritates me is the fact that 7 or 8 years ago, Ron decided we should have separate money, separate accounts. I was really hurt, but whatever. He opened his own checking account, and now we share the bills. Since I make more money than he does, I carry health insurance for the family and him. Anyway, we pretty much split everything. So, I think I should be able to do this for our son. Ron said fine - he will deduct money from his household contribution because he isn't going to pay. I am so sick about this. Poor Joe - he feels awful. Our son Danny went the community college route - and lets just say it did not go well and leave it at that. Danny has been the most vocal about the fact that Joe needs to go AWAY to school. So....now here I sit...sad...angry...torn...don't know what to do or say.
I feel in my heart that this is the right decision. I feel bad about disagreeing with Ron. Dangit, I make $65,000 a year on my own...if I wanna put my son through school, I should be able to...
Oh, Anna.....This makes me so sad for you and for Joe....
