...... c&t almost halloween thursday ......

Sorry I never made it to the check-in yesterday -- I was at work by the time the boards were back up.

I have lots to do before Halloween -- Chris, Collin and I are going to a party Saturday night and our costumes are *mostly* together but we need just a few things still. I am excited -- should be fun!

Better run -- gotta get some lifting in this morning before work!
 
MOrning Katie! We're excited for Halloween too! Hope work is good to you!

2 hour fog delay for us! Gina needs the extra sleep so bad!

Another very busy day ahead - the next 4 are actually. We are just getting slammed this week. I'll almost be glad to see Monday come! Gina has Girl Scouts immediately after school. After that the girls have a Halloween party to go to. Can you say overscheduled? We have another Hween party to go to Friday night. I don't mean to be a scrooge but I don't want to go to any of them!:eek: Our poor kids are going to be so tired and poor Julia......getting dragged to and fro lately.:( We have every HOUR planned thru Sunday afternoon and I've had enough of being so busy. Ok, rant over. We;ll be glad we're loved and wanted to go to all these places. Right? Right???????

Not sure about a WO but eats will be clean. We haven't worked out since FRIDAY of last week. :(:( We have been SO BUSY it's just crazy. There literally has been no time to do it.

I WILL bbl!
 
Morning

Kate RIGHT!!! Just be thankful that you can get all of that done.

Katie enjoy your day

I work only 1/2 a day today so maybe I can get a small workout done later.
 
fussy kids missing their daddy here:(:( i hate starting off the morning with fusses. i am not sleeping well at all - averaging 4 hrs a night. wish i knew what was up with that!

kate, sorry you are so over scheduled! that is just nuts. take it easy okay? and don't sweat the small stuff.

hi robin. so glad you have a half day. what are your kids doing for halloween?

katie, are you feeling ebtter? enjoy your wo.

i got in a great run on the tm this am, and i was not even trying to. so glad to feel 100% better. boys and i will try to go to the pool this am. it is 100% humidity and 80 degrees:( then i need to plan dinner b/c of swim this afternoon. not sure about saturday - what i will do when, etc. conferences at school tomorrow, so no more school for kids until monday. back soon.
 
the down side to a good am run? i am STARVING after. i just inhaled wayyyyy too much breakfast:mad: hope that tides me over for a long time. i cannot wait to hit the pool
 
Nina, are you hungry again yet? I'm not telling what I had for breakfast.

Robin, which half of the day are you working? I always get more done if I have the afternoon off, rather than the morning.

Kate, take a deep breath! You sound so stressed! It'll be okay. How about this: ask yourself if the things you're going to will create good memories for your family. If the answer is yes, then go. If it's no, then reconsider. Wait, was that preachy? I don't want to be preachy. Just helpful. I can't help it, it's in my nature.

Katie, did you get your weights in?

Well, I did combo 3 from SB and the first 2 hi/lo sections of SJP, plus back and abs last night. Not super long, by any means, but at least it was something. And I washed my sheets, so I had a clean, fluffy bed to crawl into last night. Heaven. I love clean sheets. That's one of my fantasies--if I won the lottery I would have a daily cleaning person and they would put clean sheets on my bed every day. But then I think how wasteful it would be to wash all that bedding all the time and I think no, I wouldn't do that. Would I? Well, it's moot, since I doubt I'll win the lottery any time soon! Altho I do have tickets I should check...

I have my annual review for work in about half an hour. I have no idea what to expect. My boss and I have been at odds for months now, so it will be interesting to see if there's any conciliatory gesture.

Hi to everybody I missed! I'll bbl, I promise.

Hi Everyone!

I can't believe it is only Thursday. I was hoping it was Friday. This morning I did Meso 1 Disc 8 Back & Tri's. I got mixed up reading the weights for some of the exercises so some were a little heavy and some were a little light and of course some were dead on. I am not feeling 100% and I can't tell if it is allergies or if I am coming down with a cold.

Anne, good luck with your review. Just because you have been at odds with your boss doesn't mean you will get a bad review.
Katie, good luck with your last minute Halloween shopping
Nina, glad you got your run in. I usually don't get the starving feeling until lunchtime.
Kate, I hate been overscheduled too. I hope you can survive the next few days.
Robin, what workout will you try to do later?

GTG - meeting Thursday!
 
Morning!

Overslept this morning-woke up at 7:50 and the girls have to leave by 8:15! I somehow managed to get them dressed, fed, and packed up without any problems, thank goodness. Nothing else on tap for today other than dance and my therapy session tonight. I have cardio on tap-Maybe 4DS KB or BC or both! We'll see what appeals to me when I head down. Gotta get some last mintue costume stuff for the girls too for tomorrow's parties.

Katie, what are you all dressing up as? I haven't been to a costume party in a few years.

Kate, you ARE crazy busy! Hope you can get a bit of quiet in there. Don't worry about the workouts-they aren't going anywhere!

Robin, have a good day at work!

Nina, funny how you're complaining about the heat! I wish it was warmer here! It's supposed to be cold and windy for Halloween:( Have fun swimming!

Anne, clean sheets rock! Good luck with your review. I'm sure you'll do great!

Colleen, sorry you're feeling yucky! I have a feeling we're going to be a revolving door of sickness this winter.

Hi Everyone !

I tried all morning to get on yesterday & forums were down.
Then went grocery shopping, and baked and decorated cupcakes for Braydens preschool Halloween party today (pics on FB).
Last night Brayden came over and watch Charlie Brown with me ( I recorded it so he wouldnt' miss it) and we ate apples ! His new fav. food ! What a good guy.......I had halloween candy and cupcakes and cookies and he asked for an apple ! :) :)
This morning I went for blood work (routine) and ran some errands. This afternoon am taking my dad for a procedure.
Busy days !
Can't wait to see the little guys in their costumes !
I've been doing yoga every day this week, trying to let a pulled muscle in my back heal. Not sure I'll have the time today though.
Hi to everyone.
Sorry for the lack of personals, but I have cookies baking (orange julius) and gotta get ready to take Dad !!

Hey girls,

Been a while since I posted! Our trip has been good but crazy busy. I got a cold basically on the plane and have been low energy and stuffed and not sleeping ever since. I'm going to a chiro today and hoping to get some relief. Workouts have been non-existent. I have no time, space, energy, or health. It's so disappointing because I did so well with insanity. I guess I will just have to get into it when I get back home. Speaking of that, I was planning to leave on Sunday but looks like I won't even be attempting until Wednesday. The flights are ridiculous and as it is, I might be flying into London which means Ryan comes to pick us up (a 4.5 hour drive tacked onto a 7 hour flight!).

Katie, good luck with your h-ween shopping. I'm really excited for the girls to go on Saturday.

Kate, deep breath! I hate it when life gets so busy. I'm a total social person and have a hard time saying no but am so happy when we do. Are you still tacking away at insanity?

Nina, how long is DH out of town? Sorry about your cranky kids. Glad you got a good run in.

Anne, I hear you on clean sheets. I love staying in hotels for that reason. Good luck with your review. I hope it goes well.

Colleen, sorry you're not feeling well. It sounds like me... never 100%.

Klaudia, I can't believe you were able to get out the door that quickly. I never would have been able to do that. Good luck with your WO. Do both!

Becky, sounds like all sorts of fun fall stuff going on at your house. I want to come eat all your yummy stuff!

OK, so I had a waxing this morning (OUCH) and now I'm off to the dentist. What a crap day. :(

I'll try to check in again soon!! I miss you gals!
 
angie, i'd take an ob appt just to get some peace and queit, lol:p glad uyour trip is good, but sorry you are sick. it is quick if you are heading home already. dh is due back nov 8th. not even halfway yet:(

colleen, feel better! i have trouble filling up at breakfast without a million cals if i run early. ah well, what can you do?

anne, you never sound preachy, just wise and helpful. i love your personality:) just ate lunch - veggies and aboca burger and 1 bite of a granola bar. i am so full now, i will take it! good luck at the review.

klaudia, that sounds like aspeed record. does everyne sleep in in your house? i am sooo jealous. finn gets up btwn 6 and 6:15. i hate day light savings time:mad:

becky, you are such a sweetie - movie night with braydon, and taking your dad to the doc! hope blood work is easy. how does the shoulder feel?

well, grumpys got totally out of hand. we had a screaming crazy fit. went to start my car and the battery was dead b/c someone was playing with the lights last night:mad: then i took them to the pool but the water was too cold for kiddos , so i dropped them in daycare:eek: and swam myself for 30 min. best thing i did today! now the naughties are gone! phew! i thought i'd lose it. i want to bake some pumpkin cookies - anyone have a recipe? also, how do i make an icecream cake, bearing in mind i will not be using homemade icecream? i do not know how to assemble it i guess:confused:

sorry for the novel. off to get kids some quiet time and finish cleaning my house, again!
 
REal quick......

I wish I had time for personals but I did get to read while I was getting J to sleep.

Hope everyone has a good afternoon!
 
...and ANNE!!!!!!! That sheet fantasy is mine too!!!!! MIke and I say that everytime I change the sheets!

I thought I was the only one!!! TOO WEIRD! and cool!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
hi kate! bye kate:D

klaudia, thanks! that looks great, though i may need to try to add some oatmeal too - love that in cookies. hmmm, on second thought, maybe i shouldn't:p

floors vacumned, sheets changed (anne, you inspired me), dinner made, off to crank out some shoulders
 
Nina, thanks for the kind words and I'm glad I inspired you!

Klaudia, are you going to share that meatloaf recipe? I saw what you said on FB!

Hi, Kate, bye, Kate! I think everybody loves clean sheets. What's not to love?

Angie, I hope you feel better by Halloween! We miss you, too.

Becky, I hope your back is feeling better.

Colleen, can you rest up this weekend to get over whatever it is you have? And maybe gargle with warm salt water?

Hi to Wendy and Lisa!

My review went well, overall. I got a small raise, as much as anyone is getting this year. My boss and I talked about some things and he told me something I hadn't realized. So, it was all right, and I now know I need to have a further discussion with him. But it can wait a while, it doesn't have to be right away. I need to reflect on it for a time.

So, I'm having a bad time, did I tell you guys that? Saturday is the 1st anniversary of my FIL's death. And they're interring his ashes that day. So, I asked Jim to ask his family how they would feel if I asked to attend. And I asked him, too, of course. His family is fine with it, so I'm going to go. It will either be really good and help me get some closure on all this (part of my problem is how much I'm going to miss his family; I like them better than mine) or it's a huge effing mistake. We'll see...

And, I got my JOD (judgement of divorce) papers today. Yippee. It's really hard to see all that in black and white.

So, I'm going to go home and do a short work out after work and then go to tap. I get to work at home tomorrow, so that's a good thing.

See you all later.

anne
 
I could sleep all day! No workout yet-going down in a few.

Anne, I posted the recipe on FB:) Glad to hear the review went well. I think going to the memorial would be good for you. Have a good workout and have fun at tap:)
