Stuff.....

Good Morning. Decided to make it all about me and post all my stuff under my own post.

Have been feeling all week as if I am ready to just lose it and explode. So stressed out that it's affecting me physically. Decided to get my workout in today and it was WONDERFUL. Pushed myself and my legs are so tired it feels so satisfying. My mind is clear now. I'm still feeling on edge...but in a "let's get this show on the road" and get things done kind of way.

The folks are here today. They leave tomorrow morning. I have tons and tons of work waiting for me at the office. I'll get there eventually. Also going to go shopping with my mom this afternoon. Dinner out tonite. Games and work all day tomorrow. It's just never ending...but it's good.

Phyllis...DH has cut out virtually all bad carbs this week. And has lost 4 pounds. Guess I'm on the wagon next week to catch up ;) as soon as I polish off that apple crisp!

I signed up for the message board express yourself upgrades and ivillage still doesn't have me set up properly. I feel CONFIDENT they will soon. I've sent them two very nice e-mails about it...but I'm losing my patience.

Thank, girls, for all your encouragement to each other, support, love, kicks-in-the-butt, etc. That's what being a woman is all about.

Hugs :)

Sassy

Isn't fitness GRAND?

I asked ivillage to transfer everything over to my regular user name. They sent me a couple e-mails confirming that is what they are doing...we shall see!

Hi Sassy,

All week I have been trying to get back into the swing of life and there have been obstacles in my way every day. Yesterday I felt like I would just sit down and cry when DH called and said he was on his way to daycare to pick up DGS because DDIL was once again headed to the hospital with a suspected kidney stone. I'd already had DGS two other nights this week and although I love the little guy he is very demanding and I don't get any time for myself when he is with us. I had planned to go for a long walk as soon as I got home. Couldn't do that because little guy is starving when he gets home and I needed to get supper cooked. Figured might be able to get in a short walk after dinner then DH arrived home with Brock in a short sleeved shirt and no jacket. It was too cold to take him out without one and he was cranky. I just felt like I wanted my life to feel normal again and things just keep getting in the way. I went upstairs for a potty break and found myself praying for peace and when I came downstairs the little guy came running to me saying My Nana smiling ear to ear and I realized sometimes you just have to look for the positive in any situation. I'm leaving tonight open with a hope that today will be the day I get in a nice Autumn walk. If it doesn't happen today there is always hope for tomorrow.

Hope things calm down for you...Margie

Margie - If your post doesn't give us all some perspective on our lives, nothing else will. That smile from Brock made my day, and I didn't even see it!

Hope your DDIL is feeling well soon and you do find a little time for yourself.

Margie-girl.

Well, you have just been through a ton of stuff lately. It's not surprising you feel like just sitting down for a good cry!

You are right...sometimes our will is not what is meant to be. Praying for peace, acceptance, etc., is always a good idea, isn't it? We should all do that more often!

Hang in there, Margie. Give Brock a big old hug!

Sassy
