I'm weird though I love doing it
) since it is the first one we'd ever seen and ya'll have said how good it is! I walked a bunch and even ran on the treadmill once but for some reason I'd brought my usual running outfit. Long sleeves don't work so well in an enclosed room! I was way too hot (and just a tad bit lazy) so I only ran a mile. Afterwards I did some strength/abdomen work and was certainly glad they had towels to wipe things down! 
I'm in a special ed room and my hands shouldn't have skin on them the way I'm constantly washing! I'm fighting a bit of a cold, but do not want what the rest of the school has. One classroom had just 12 kids in it! Fortunately the week ends tomorrow. Then it's spring break! Just wish the weather knew it was spring. 
Oh yeah, BL!!
Sweet!! I needed that! I guess getting sick does has it's advantages. I'm trying to keep the momentum going!!!
I know you must have been very sick to call in so don't be afraid to take another day if you need it. 
I was so excited to read this -- I will get to meet you at last! 
on the forgetful kid thing. The truth is that it is easy to get bored and tired of being "on," especially when your life gets crazy. 
They wrote me a list. I followed it. 
No comment.. I rushed to get ready for my ice cream date with an 11-year-old. She had a half day at school, so I hung out with her for a while before her sister came home. We went to Friendly's and then did some shopping. It's times like that that really make me wish we had a dollar store near us. I did buy a few things that will help me be more organized. I realized late last week that I'm no longer as organized as I used to be and that that probably won't bode well when I get a job. My mom is on vacation through Friday. 
She complained about how late I slept (only until 9, but compared to Monday, really late) and has went on and on about this and that since then. She want on one h*** of a rant about how fat I am. I was so upset that I left the room and tried to take a nap. Before I could fall asleep, she went on a small rant about how I've only been up for 1.5 hours and am already going back to bed. And, guess who is asleep now?
Hi Mickeys!
I'm sorry I've been so MIA. We spent Sunday at my sister's house and going to Wally World. It was so busy there. Definitely not the way I like to shop. My sister and mother were driving me nuts too. It was like they were daydreaming. No one could remember where anything was, and they reorganized the store, so it was even worse and they had no idea what they needed there. I only needed 1 thing so needless to say, I was less than disappointed when we finally left.
On Monday, I ran a few errands, but really didn't accomplish much of anything. I did go grocery shopping and my parents were amazed that I came home with certain things.
Yesterday, I slept until almost 11 AM. This was the first time in at least a week, so I was quite surprised. And
Now, for the best news ever.
I will try to pop back on later and do some replies. Hoping the sickness bugs stay away from us!
You should also pop in on the BL Princess thread 'cause a lot of the BL folks are going like Nancy (marathon), Maria (Donald), and several maybes Lindsay, Kathy, Rose&Mike. The WISH meet for the Marathon W/E typically has over 100 people! I think WISH shirts are individual order direct now but I'll have to double check. It's going to be so fun! 
I just do it though because I really, really do not food to be a battle in our house. 
DS is 12 and 5'10" tall so he obviously is getting enough nourishment. 
Sounds to me like you needed the sleep--her too lol...

Afternoon
Well, Sunday was warm enough that I finally decided to use the pool that I spent a small fortune on having built. It was INCREDIBLE! I'm still getting used to having a salt water pool. I did 100 laps on Sunday. Then Monday and Tuesday I did 200 each day.
Then, of course I decided a few days ago that I wanted to do a scrapbook to track my weight loss. No, I'm not the most creative person on the planet but I thought it would be fun and I would love to have something to look back at years from now on all my hard work.
Yeah, my next reward for losing my next 10 pounds was going to be a movie. As of this morning I'm 3 pounds from my next 10 pounds gone. Well, I spent a small fortune at Michaels getting supplies. I went ahead and told Alan, 'Well, that was my next weight loss reward to myself."
Plans for dinner are hamburger noodle casserole, broc and cheese, and small thing of frozen yogurt for dessert. Its been a cruddy weather day but so far productive.
on long runs over, say, 4 miles, which has me VERY nervous for the actual half. So I am on the fence about doing it We'll see if I get 11 miles done this weekend.
Am looking at airfares and bank account right now trying to convince dh to take a quick little trip to WDW, we'll see if it happens, wish me luck and him luck too, he would need to try to ask tough boss
for those days off
