Morning Chat

DCM always pays 2-4 weeks in advance and she just popped me another two weeks before actually due this upcoming Monday so I think she's around for the long-haul; just struggling with her baby growing up.

[e.j.]

Oops! lol Hopefully dcm understood the truth of what you said. I've had a few whiners and have told them essentially the same thing you tell your dcg. I've never had a dcp say anything to me about it, though. lol

This has been a great week here, but still….TGIF!!!

Dcm told me at drop off that dcg3 told her ms xxxx said she cried too much I said she doesn't cry, she whines alot and I tell her that her day would be much more enjoyable if she worked through that. Oh well.......HAPPY FRIDAY!

That is great! I was doing good with the morning workouts, then the time change happened. I want to go to bed at 7 pm and am wide awake at 2 am. I have to get back into my routine. I feel so much calmer and focused after my morning 60. I use evening workouts to vent the frustration from the day. Unfortunately, my husband wants me to eat with him when I want to hit the treadmill. lol Timing is just not working for me right now.

Mom and I have been chistmas-ing the daycare room this week....still gotta get my ornaments on my own tree....if it wasn't for my youngest son (19 now) I would do less and less but he's the one that cried when finding out there was NO santa.......he LOVES Christmas and we don't do alot of gifts just games and fun....but he LOVES it and always has!

[Annalee]

Yes on the energy level.....and starting my day with the workout works best; I've tried the evening but just not as good of results for me.....unless I use my treadmill at home in the evening.....I like that part..... My cousin got me on the 12 incline/ 3 speed/ 30 minutes from the beginning on the treadmills at the gym and I finish with that each morning...at home my treadmill is a little different with the numbers; I'm assuming commercial grade treadmill to my home nordictrac?? I feel the strain; feel like I'm gonna fly off the back...LOLOL It does burn many more calories with the incline, though so I like that.

I am trying to catch up with decorating, cleaning and all things "holiday prep", but my heart is not into it this year. I mostly want to do a festivus pole up by the road and let everyone just scream horrible things at it until we all feel a little better.

We spend way too much time being silenced in fear of being canceled or unemployed.

The annual airing of grievances sounds so good right now...

Congratulations! How are you feeling? Energy level improving?

[Annalee]

Haven't been to the gym since Wednesday last week.......Have used the treadmill at home but got the second shingles shot Friday and put me out for a couple days....anyway, went today and have lost 9.6 lbs in the last 7-8 weeks. I have really focused on my in-between eating as I was a grazer....so my stomach actually feels hungry at meals now. and I don't eat for 12 hours after I finish supper. So, it is nice to know it's working to the positive..... I NEED the POSITIVE!

@balckcat31 thanks for the suggestion. Apparently one is still working and I have it the washing side. But I can try a lid on the rinse side.

[Blackcat31]

I use a plastic lid, They suction to the sink drain perfectly! It was an accident that I discovered they do and when my sink stoppers started leaking I just started using the plastic lid. Now its the only way I do it! It's one of those plastic lids from a small cottage cheese container. If you have one it might be a temp fix until your mail order ones arrive.
