Saffron -- Congrats on losing 3.5 lbs!!!

[saffron]

Yes, Roadrunner is off to a good start!

Thanks, CanDo. Now I'm going to post my losses where everyone will see them. I won't be able to hide if I mess up. LOL

Back from the beach and I don't like it... but Hellion Pup is very sad. She found her calling. She was born to be a beach dog. She discovered that she LOVES to swim. She protected the family from the Egrets and Herons that tried to land on the dock. She guarded the porches. She played chase with the preschoolers and then allowed them to drag her about... but the most wonderful thing was the BOAT! Going out with her family and jumping off the boat to swim with them was the most wonderful thing she had ever experienced!!! Oh! and digging in the sand -- it flies up in the air so wonderfully and is so satisfying! She rode in the back of the car with the big dogs -- that frou frou carrier was totally disdained. Now she is trying to figure out how to get us to let her move there so that she can obtain her manifest destiny..... (oh and while at the beach she actually went outside to do her business -- she gave a good imitation of a house broken dog-- sigh)

Di - Glad Hellion pup had a great time at the beach as well as all of you. We will be going to the beach later this month and boys and I always look forward to it.

Both boys started summer school yesterday and are really enjoying themselves which is great for me. I went in to see my oncologist and orthopedic doctors today and had somewhat bad news from oncologist and have now been told I need to seriously slow down and rest more since the meningitis has actually gotten worse since last week. I am not supposed to be out in the sun for more than 30 minutes a day and seriously need to drink as many fluids as possible.

Very long day today, lots of driving, took DD to get on her plane. They gave me a security pass to go back with her didn`t expect that, but nice. I thought I was going to have to leave her at security. Also did some big city shopping (Trader Joes ) and exploring before my appt. Had to have my friend drive most of the way home because I was just too exhausted to be safe. Waiting on a call now from DD to catch up on her day (she texted me upon arrival, but we haven`t had a chance to talk). Going to leave the dishes, yeah, last night`s too, and crash after I talk to her.
Tomorrow, going to sleep as long as I can, then get things caught up around here.

[andrea]

I crashed yesterday and am not feeling so well today. Boys were very noisy and refused to listen which really wiped me out. Today I plan to rest as much as possible since I am feeling extremely sick again. I am kinda hoping maybe mom will take boys out when they get home from summer school.

Andrea -- Hope you feel better after some rest. The boys are welcome to come here and hang with us, would love to have them.

Di Dreaming -- What a wonderful time for Hellion Pup. I would have loved that trip as well, and I am house broken

Cando Great job enlisting the help of puppy with the laundry.

WTG on accomplishment Vagabond

Saffron -- A little weight loss at a time is much better than huge amounts. You Can Do It.

Thanks for all the kudos for my am work yesterday. After my appointment I hit a bump in the road -- The bump of I Don't Wanna, sigh but I guess I can have a couple of those days over the summer break.

Getting ready to start the day -- slowly

[Di]

Andrea, I hope that your mom can help with the boys. It sounds like you need some very quiet rest and recovery time. I hope that you get to feeling better soon. Please take care of yourself. SM, did you get a few bottles of Two Buck Chuck? I wish I lived near a Trader Joe's. I love getting the "different" things that they have to offer. VBM, you were very productive. WTG on making critters happy!. Cando, I have a bit of a headache today too. I need to do something with the kids but I just don't' want to. I may just load up all the dogs and kids and take them to the puppy park and let all of them wear themselves out. But first I have to tackle the kitchen that got trashed last night and start some laundry. Those 2 things are always in need of doing.

I was just thinking the same things always dishes and always laundry.

not feeling well. It was 107 today, and it's hot in my house in spite of the swamp cooler. Went out in the heat to the post office. Had a box full of junk mail and two items to claim at the window. Both items will have to be sent back. Amp for the phone is so cheap, I can't believe it. It does not boost the sound as was advertised. Heck, I'm going to grumble. Where else do I have the opportunity? The other item---pantyhose---are nothing but two legs sewn together with a "cotton gusset." Where am I supposed to put my buttocks and tummy???? hello. I am an ample-sized woman and usually wear size 4x, but even the 5x and 6x don't stretch open for me to insert my body. Oh, and one more thing...the phone has been ringing off the hook with telemarketers. Okay, that's all for now. Thanks for listening. I am not going to do any more work today. I did a few things that I'm not even going to spend the energy listing. Hoping for a better day tomorrow.

called EC. We cancelled our lunch date due to the heat, and he has an appt at 10:30.
will turn on night lights when it gets dark. ASA now. will brush teeth before bed.

[roadrunner]

6:00 pm WOW finally getting started on my day.

I really had a hard time getting over my hump. I have loaded the dishwasher, fed furbabies, brunch for DS and DD. The spent the rest of the day watching Harry Potter with DS and DD with little cat naps here and there.

I had an eye appointment today at 3:15, I took my notebook with me and spent time waiting doing some concret planning so feeling much more motivated now. Picked up pizza for supper and now I am ready to do a am/pm routine combo. After that is done will press onward with other stuff flying/projects until about 10:00 then plan on watching a movie with DS and DD.

It is a bit challenging to type as my eyes have been dilated. So if I do not catch my typos I just did not see it.
