It's finally Friday, and all I can think of that I want to do is SLEEP !!!


ds has been getting up very early these days...and he's sick again, so he's not sleeping well, which means, neither am I.


We are pretty much broke this weekend..I'm not even sure I have any money to grocery shop...that is just pathetic.


The weather has really cooled off...so hopefully we'll enjoy some time outside...if the dang bee's let us.

I have no real plans...I'm really broke this weekend too...no grocery shopping money either for me...so don't feel like the lone ranger...hate it too...but such is life, right? next week is payday...

My oh so beloved teenaged son has his football game tomorrow evening so we'll be going to that...but otherwise, nothing much at all...

Its still REALLY hot here in Florida...mid 90s in the daytime...70s in the mornings...don't know if we'll ever cool off...but 50s is COOOOLD to us!!! Not looking forward to that...60s yes, 50s no. LOL

I have been working this morning, but don't feel like it now and its only 11:37 my time.

Oh well.

Ugh about that! That really sucks...

About the weight thing...do you think you are gaining because of some hormonal thing going on??? Lamictal is supposed to be so weight neutral...I've been losing, I think, don't know for sure cuz I don't weigh myself...so I could be just thinking myself into it...but as long as I keep it up, I don't care right now! I need new clothes for winter too...I don't have anything...last winter was when I started gaining...I didn't have much then, and now I don't know what I even wore...so I need all new everything...don't wanna buy anything yet though...I'm still between sizes...my fat stuff is all too big...but I don't think I fit in a smaller size just yet.

STOP the negative thinking about your weight right NOW! If I learned one thing about mine was the more negative thinking I did about myself, the more I gained. The more positive thinking I did (i.e., wearing makeup, fixing myself up...etc.) the better I did. Don't know how or why that helped, but it did.

Also, do you think maybe you could be eating more now that you aren't drinking as much? Sorry if I am talking about a sensitive subject...

Hi girls :)

Donna, I agree with Keli...no more beating yourself up(and yeah I need to take my own advice, I know) anyways, I can sooo relate with not wanting to buy new clothes.

I am on Lamictal too, and I dont think I have gained weight because my clothes are loose, so it might be like what Keli said about the drinking. I know when I quit smoking I ate a ton, and I know that alcohol has a lot of carbs/sugar in it that would make your body feel full and satisfied and when its gone you would crave carbs I would think, so you feel more hungry. So try to eat non-carb things when you get hungry and see if that helps any. Talk to your pdoc about it when you see her too. and DONT weigh yourself!!! I just think that the scales are evil tortourus possessed pieces of equipment put here to ruin our self image.Haha ok sorry bout that. I am still pissed off bc the scale says I gained and my clothes are loose...some kinda crap

My plans for the weekend...hmmm. I am NOT going to DH's Grandma's house!!!!! YAY!!! I am going to get some homework done for a change. Thats it for this weekend. We have groceries but only bc of the credit card...we pay it off and a week and a half later we owe $500 on it...wtf? Anywho thats another story alltogether.

No, I don't think its from not drinking...the weight has been packing on ever since I started Lamictal.

Sorry everyone. It doesn't sound like a good weekend for anybody. We are having my DD's fifth birthday party at our house tomorrow. We are still in the midst of unpacking but I think the place is presentable. Anyway, I hope to enjoy myself but usually entertaining is very draining for me.

Hope everyone gets my feel better vibes over the weekend.
