Oh, where or where did my sanity go? I know you are probably thinking, if you find yours, please send mine home? Instead of 3 french hens, 2 calling birds and a partridge in a pear tree. We have added a puppy to the nut hut, i like to call my house! She is a 15 week old, mini daschund pup, we named her Fergie, because well...shes a royal PITA. (pain in the a**) But she makes the boys happy, and if you tell my hub...i will deny it...I catch him chuckling at her often. Ever seen a puppy on crack...well this is the first one i have seen. Never does she have down time. My living room to kitchen carpet is going to have a figure 8 cut into it from her racing. Just when you think its safe, her little snout comes from under the couch to attack your feet!
The last 4 days have been horrible for me. I had a migraine, dr said come in, we will give you a shot...I got 2 shots, and i still had the headache, so last night, the dr called me in meds. I seriously would bare his children for doing that. I feel soooo much better today. God bless a man who can call in a RX.
The boys are getting bigger day by day, and sometimes i think i am too, but my clothes still fall off. I guess everyone has the some days are better than others. We are coming up on the anniversary of my dads death, and the days dont get easier. How do you cope with the man killing your loved one is up for parole after getting a 20 year sentence and only serving 5. Injustice i tell you! I have missed all of you like crazy!! I hope you hear from you all!!
Love Gail
PS...Onederland keeps evading me...I go up, I go down...2 lbs away from Onederland...and I cant put my finger on it.

Onederland
Yeah, I was there til I weighed in this morning. BLAH! I gained! You can do it, though.
Glad you're feeling better today. Good to hear from you again.
hi there! thanks for your kinds words of encouragement....i know you can get to "onederland", my best girlfriend just hit it yesterday herself...just have to take the extra initiative whether it be in activity level or food choice and stick to your guns to meet that goal...
keep up the good work....
my thoughts are with you as you approach the anniversary of your father passing...
Just try not to get discouraged. Onederland is so close! Sometimes there seems to be a barrier keeping us from something we want......just barge on through and knock it down!
The puppy sounds like so much fun! They can be a pain but they're so worth if for the love they give to us....no matter who or what we are or look like. Chasing him around may be good exercise!
Thanks for your words of encouragement on my "kitchen sink" post ... I'm still amazed I'm hanging in here. Starting to see some progress, the next step is not get cocky and backslide/get careless!!
I've gone through the puppy thing .. God Bless ya!! I've sworn off animals. ha ha ha
I read a couple of your posts, and the hubby/roomamte thing .. seems like alot of us can identify. We have so many options these days. TV, Games, Great Jobs, etc., I think the best advice is "join in!!" Learn how to play it or sit nearby with a laptop (that's what I do), and I get pretty sneaky ... I'll go on Ebay and check out the the Ebay Motors portion (all men love cars!) ... Amazing, how he wants to do what I'm doing, when I do that! ha ha ha
My children are 25, 24, 16, and 14 ... I know the age time frame you're in with them, too. All I say is "This Too Shall Pass" ...
the goal of course is for you and hubby to not grow apart "in the meantime" ... Those kids will grow, become teenagers (God Help You!!!), and of course they finally move out - and call back for money.
Anyway, it's hard, but what helped was having a routine. I recently saw Georgia Rule, and i loved what she said about eating everyday at the same time ... she said in case somehting else happens, atleast you'll have that constant (not the exact quote).
Those of us with a constant and comfort so often look out the window and envy Mr. or Mrs. Living by the seat of their pants and running off to the Beach every weekend, and what we don't know is ... they're secretly peeping back out to us and thinking, "What I wouldn't give for a day at home just relaxing"
You haven't posted in a while; I was just checking to see how you're doing. I wish you and your family the best in dealing with the parole issue. I hate it when people don't get the justice they deserve.
Haven't seen you post in a bit... Things have been hectic for me, and I'm finally getting around to my ep buddies. I hope you are doing well and that onederland hasn't continued to be evasive. You'll make it, I promise! You are doing such a good job! 36 pounds is A LOT of weight, so don't forget how far you've come!
I hope that you are coping with the anniversary of your dad's death. I know that it is hard. Just don't let it sideline you from your goal.
I hope that the meds do the trick for you and that you feel better soon. I think it is like having another child when you first get a dog. I thought my life would never be normal again, but now our lab is part of the family who we would miss terribly if something happened to him. He is hardly any trouble at all.
I wanted to thank you for commenting on my blog earlier about anxiety. For some reason I just found it today. I appreciate you sharing as sometimes I feel like I don't really know anyone else that has episodes of anxiety, which for me are short of panic attacks although there have been a couple of times where I have felt panic and then backed down to anxious. I have a counselor who thinks that I can be helped without medication and maybe that isn't a bad thing for me right now because I realize that I had been medicating my anxiety with food for as long as I can remember so that I was shocked when my eating went into control and the anxiety reared its ugly head. I find writing also helpful and focusing on one thing at a time and not jumping frantically from one thing to another.
Just keep on trying and you will get there. I promise!!! It will be yours one day before long. Can't wait to see your caption making the announcement. Blessings to you for continued strength. Chargail
