Yay its Wednesday. not that it really makes a difference any more- all of the days seem to run together LOL

It is so dang cold here in NJ, cold and windy. Wind chills in the 20*'s. Its way to early for that. Being cold makes me cranky too :smow: :rant::dizzy:
I met by BFF for coffee yesterday and I did warn her in advance that i was cranky... but i think all we did was share depressing stories. She emailed me saying that she was glad we got together even though we were like two little old ladies. Haha!

I am still in my funk, but I am going to work hard today on getting out of it. Food shopping, some more F-W stuff, maybe some baking?
What I shouldn't do but am having a hard time is not worry about money/job. I told myself I wasn't going to worry about that until after the holidays but it seems to always be in the back of my mind. :(

Hhhmmm, I think I have complained enough here...... Let me do some WWW's and then personals....

WWW
I wish I wasn't so cranky.
I want to be able to find a job that I can be flexible with hours and stuff.
I want my O-Fam to continue to put up with me, even when I am :dizzy:
 
Hi laurie! How have you been doing with walking? I haven't posted in the thread recently, but I have been trying my best to keep up with wii fit.
Glad that your snow didn't make a mess of the roads. I hear ya on it being too cold!

Linda S- good to hear that Little Miss Syd is better! I feel completely unprepared too.

Kristy- Happy birthday to your DD!

Nana- sending you chicken soup and the bottle.... Feel better sweetie!!!

ME- ice cream???? That is too funny!!!

Hi Shellie! Didn't see Inception- is that the one w/ Leonardo DiCaprio? Very intense?
I tend to be very bad with keeping up on movies.

Trudy- good luck today I hope that the specialist gives you good news!

Katrina-hope that the weather warms up for you too.

Sally- you crack me up! xoxo

Meg- hope you are feeling better today. I loved getting Klutz books for my kids. Michael's usually carries them so if you have a 40% off coupon, they are a good deal too.

Clara- i am running late, so i can't reply to everything you wrote, but you are so right. RENT! (Red is not my color either.)

love to all of you!
 
morning all - feeling stuffy in my head- trying to decide if I want to call off and stay home or go to work and be even more crappy tomorrow on my day off? I still have good insurance coverage now so it will only cost me $25 to go to dr or I could wait and call off on friday and go to the dr then. My sinus infection do not clear on their own. I have had too many holiday kids visiting me for therapy (red noses and green - well you know) as well as kids that spray when they talk to me face to face- ahh love it. We had our meeting yesterday to learn more about the health care changes- so frustrating- I asked since we have to have a note from the dr when we are out for 2 days if we were out because of a cold- which we are not to come to work with if we had a cheaper alternative to get the note versus the now $75 we will pay in 2011.

oh well - I can't wrap my brain around personals- but here is the link to my dancing pics I posted in the daily o's over the weekend

Have a wonderful wednesday all!
 
Have you ladies seen the Amber Alert for Brittany Mae Smith?? It was issued on Monday. She is 12 yo....that is from here. It's very sad....no one knows the real situation yet....The last time anyone saw her was Friday. Her mother's body was discovered in their home on Monday. They have not said when they think she was killed (but it is a homicide). Here Mom was 42 (I think that is right) and the suspect was a guy she met online during the Summer (he is 31) and he moved in with them in October. There could be any number of scenarios here...but this is just terrible. All this happening 10 minutes from your own home!! Makes me shudder!!! The police cheif will be on the Early Show (CBS) this morning. The man's mother was on the news yesterday pleading to her son to come back. I just pray this girl is not hurt or worse!!!

Still feeling horrible too...I was up until 11:30 last night hacking my head off!! I may try to get to the DR today.

Chris....I feel you on the cold...cause it's cold like that here....I am thinking we may not thaw until late July!!! WOW it's cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they talk about the weather...above normal, below normal......what normal...there is never a normal any longer!!!! AACKKKK!!! Serioulsy 4 -5 weeks ago it was up close to 80 a couple of days!!!!

Laurie....Oh you too huh?? You would think a stuffy head would not make you feel soooooooooo bad!!! GO ON TO THE DR TODAY...maybe I should too!!! Wow...that is a big change in the copay for the Dr!!!! I understand the "getting a note" thing...but sometimes, it's just not necessary to go to the DR...and seems employers can look beyond that and more at the employee's record....really....major offeneders should be the ones required and "pay" the penalty!!
 
Good morning! Quick drive by! But I will try to get back tonight. Then again, gymnastics, Awanas, homework...maybe won't get back in after all! :-( Guess that means I need to head over to the gallery and get a little more loving done on those beautiful layouts!
 
Hi ladies, happy hump day. I need to start my Christmas shopping!! Maybe we can go out tonight and hit some stores. The only problem is that once I get home, I don't want to go out anywhere. It's so dark and cold. I just want to veg out.

Chris - so glad you got to hang out with your bff. It feels so good just to vent with friends sometimes, doesn't it?

Linda - howdy, girl!

Nana Linda - I had not heard about that Amber alert. So so sad. Get to the doctor!

Laurie - hope you feel better too!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday, everyone.
 
Awwwwww isn't it awful how the happiest time of year can actually be the saddest??? I've been in a funk every now and then when I think about how things still haven't been mended w my mom and her family, it's just gotten worse. I don't think I shared it, but ir OR you still have to pay child support if the adult child is single, under 21, and enrolled in school full time. So, my mom made my bro get his GED and she enrolled him in one of those scam expensive online schools where she'll be paying three times as much per year than she'll be receiving in child support from my dad. So, my dad is having a pretty lousy time right now. I'm surprised that he and my fam are still coming down to the family ranch in so cal for Christmas.

Yesterday we replaced our xbox AND got the xbox kinect!!!! Oh my goodness, I'm not going to have a problem losing weight now. Jeff hasn't allowed me to go on my power walks or run outside bc I've been so sick the last month. Now I can jump around in the living room!!! I have Netflix instant workout videos, but theyre too fast to follow. But the kinect games???? Wow. Kinect Adventures really can work you out depending on what you select. I want to get Fitness Evolved after Christmas, I really liked paying that demo.
Jeff originally said I swindled him into getting the kinect, but in reality we saved money getting it bc the package had stuff we needed vs the other ones.

Today is busy day! Workout first thing, then tons of errands.

Chris - I'm glad youre not worrying about job stuff until the holidays are over! Just hang in there and try to focus on enjoying it :)

Laurie - I know what you're going thru. Jeffs employer changed our health insurance while he was on leave for the wedding and honeymoon... And the enrollment deadline was before he went back to work. We were without insurance for a few months. Ugh, and the new plan sounds just like yours - huge copays and deductibles. Fortunately, I've been stable and haven't needed surgery, otherwise we'd really be having problems.

Nana Linda - oh my goodness!!!! Its so weird having stuff happen like that so close to home!!! We had an amber alert a few months ago where the little girl was rescued by a good Samaritan, it was nat'l headlines for awhile.

Linda - good luck today with all of those activities!!!!!!! Hang in there!!!

ME - I'm shopping entirely online this year!!! I hate shopping this time of year.
 
First of all after reading everybodies posts about insurance I'm thinking how thankful I am for military insurance. I pay nothing for anything until Derek retires and although that will be a big change comparatively it is still fractional comparatively. I am having some issues with that stupid doctor that saw Ethan still though. They just today called me, 8 days later, when it was supposed to be within 72 hours. I'll have to call tomorrow to figure out what the deal is. I just don't understand why people go into medicine if they don't care about patients.

Today me and the kids put together 30 bags of beer bread so that people only have to add beer. I wanted to get cookie bags started too but Derek is being a knuckle head for his new knuckle head soldier. Apparently they decided that it was more important for him to not mess with wearing a uniform to sign in than Derek being home with his family. The way it works here is when a new soldier arrives he/she has to sign into post. If they sign in before 5PM they have to be in their uniform to do so. After 5 it is not necessary. I don't understand why this guy is not uniform ready and bringing it with him when his new military supervisor is helping him run errands and why Derek doesn't find it appropriate either. especially when he called me at 1 from Walmart, asking if I needed anything. Dork. I'm not a happy camper about it.

Today went pretty well on the Christmas spirit front. I kept Pandora on with Christmas songs on all day. It was nice. I really need to write a list of everything I have and need. I think that is on my list for tomorrow. Okay...I'm cutting myself off to do some personals.

Chris - I am so glad you got in some BFF time. I understand the money thing completely. Just think of it as an opportunity to expand your creativity to life experience and not just crafty, scrapbooking stuff. Haha!! Sounds good right?? Hahaha!! Okay, I know that's a bunch of junk but its worth a shot to try and wrap your brain around a different mind set. We can't do anything about our financial situations. Can you believe I don't work to do better monetarily? That just freaks me out and we are still short and living from paycheck to three days before paycheck. Ugh!! Hugs!!

Laurie - i hope you took the day off and got some rest. Then tomorrow you can hopefully sleep in. get yourself well. I love that we can give cyber hugs and not get sick...so sending lots of get well hugs your way.

NanaLinda - You poor sickie too!! Get yourself well. And what was your recipe? Lemon, honey and whiskey? Drink up girl!!! I am so sorry to hear about that girl in your town. that is heart breaking. Your town is so sweet and nice...I can't imagine.

LindaS - do you sleep? working full time, taking the kids all over town, and scrapping up a storm. not to mention being a posting queen. I don't know how you do it. you are amazing. I hope you have a good night.

ME - christmas shopping is no fun. do it from your computer silly girl. Hahaha!! I hope you get everything done.

Meg - I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with your family. It is hard when we don't understand their motifs and why they do the things they do...much less when your relationship is shaky. Big hugs. So cool about the xbox stuff.

Okay...gotta get. Hopefully I'll be here tomorrow again.
 
Quick hi!! I hope you're all doing well although I see Laurie and Linda are not doing too well; I hope you ladies drink lots of orange juice, Gatorade and eat chicken noodle soup! It should make ya feel better in no time.
NanaLinda: that is indeed scary about that little girl I just can't fathom how peoplee can hurt a child. :( I wish they will find her alive soon!
We're in California (near the Grapevine/I-5) in Santa Clarita picking up a load of Victoria's Secret stuff which is going to Ohio. So I won't tell you exactly where we'll go as you may think to have a trailer sale or something LOL!!
Have a wonderful day all!!
 
well- went to work- the more I moved the better I felt. I did ask my boss to ask the admin to see if when we have a cold we can go to the injection room and have a nurse look at us, verify that we should not be a work and pay maybe $25 to get the I'm sick note. You can't tell people you over utilize the system and then tell them but if you miss 3 days of work you need a dr excuse and with our new health plan it will cost you $79 until you meet your $2500 deductible for the year. Good thing I love my job. Setting aside the $2500 is not going to be fun- if you don't have it in your account, you can't spend it. What a PIA.

Nana- hope they find the little one
Meg- the kinex sounds fun
Chris- I have not been walking- will tomorrow though
Clara- sounds like to day has been a better day
Linda- hope you enjoyed your gallery run
