Today is the 4th Anniversary of my mothers death. I can't believe that time has gone by so fast. I've been thinking about her and my father alot lately. I miss them. With Danielle being involved in so many activities, and seeing all of the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and siblings there to support the kids, I am saddened that it's just ( Read more... )

Well, I've been scheduled for surgery on the 26th of May. I am excited yet stressed at the same time. I've been reading the message boards and seeing all of the success stories and I cant wait to be on the losing side. Then I realize that so many of my relationships will change, since I will no longer be focusing on food for entertainment. ( Read more... )

Well, I finally completed my Options course and received my authorization for proceed with this surgery. My appointments are Friday, April 28. I have to meet with the shrink (guess they need to make sure that I'm sane enough to handle the changes that are about to take place), the Internest ( who will probably tell me once again that I am fat, ( Read more... )

Well, time is going by quickly now. It's the end of February already. I now need to get focused. Losing weight. The surgery seems so far off, yet time is rapidly going by. I know I will feel even more motivated after I attend the required seminar for pacific bariatrics tomorrow. Strangely enough, even though I haven't lost all the weight I ( Read more... )

I miss listening to music. After doing some alley shopping this weekend we came across a guy selling bootlegged copies of old mixed disco cd's from the early 80's (my favorite kind of music and I'm proud to say it! lol) Anyway, I realized that since I had the rugrat I rarely listen to music that doesn't involve counting, ABC'S or Farm Animals. I ( Read more... )

It's been about 2 weeks since my last posting, and what a 2 weeks it has been! My 49 year old brother in law (husbands brother) went into the hospital on April 10th and suffered cardiac arrest on the 14th, has had no brain activity since the 14th and was taken off the respirator at the request of his children, brothers and sisters, yesterday ( Read more... )

As I sit here watching my 2 year old play with her playdo, I realize how easy life can be if you just go with the flow ( Read more... )

Well, I've managed to go the whole day without answering the phone. Once again, I am avoiding conflict ( Read more... )

Today started off as a good day. We talked to the mortgage company about refinancing our home and it was approved, with no pre-payment penalty for our current mortgage and at a better rate than we are currently at. Then I took my daughter to Mommy and me class, where even though she did have a poo poo accident on the playground, the class was fun ( Read more... )

Well, it's been 3 weeks now and my girl just can't seem to go poop anywhere but in her care bear panties. I feel like screaming. She has no problem with #1 in the potty, runs to the pot, sings while she pee's, tells me when she's done, but the dreaded, stinky, messy #2 is the thorn in my side right now. I'M THINKING, NO MORE KIDS FOR ME... once ( Read more... )
