Re: sat morning weigh in

Oh my goodness beth you had a day from Hades huh??? It has to get better. I am so sorry that you cat bit you. I can relate witht he grandkid thing. My little one is always up to something!!

Well I certainly hope your weekend improves. Love pepper Beth wrote:

This morning has not been going my way. I didn't sleep well last night and then the grandson was up at 5:30 am, woke his younger sister up at 5:45 am and he has been into trouble or mischief all morning (like taking a marker and drawing all over his sister's arms).

I weighed in and had a .75 gain, ending my no gain streak. I just wanted to come home and eat a larger bowl of vanilla ice cream but talked myself out of it realizing that is precisely what I didn't need to be doing. I opted not to go to the day camp today because we just had too much going on here at the house. After months with little activity, I had 5 or 6 options to choose from. I opted for the family ones.

I heard our new kitten catterwalling and carrying on something fierce so I went to find out what was going on, figuring she was roughhousing with the other cats. Turned out she had her entire leg caught in the bird cage and couldn't get out. I went to help her get out and she, in her panic, bite me...I have two puncture marks in the under (skin) side of my thumb and two puncture marks through my thumbnail bed. It still throbs.

took the kids with him while he went to Sam's so I could have some peace and quite.

I have been trying to find the positives in all of this. The tylenol kicked in and the headache and backache are gone. I can work off the .75 gain in a week if I put my mind to it. The grandkids are loveable and they don't always have days like today. I could look forward to the emails on the loop.

Thanks for listening,

AND I WILL HAVE A BETTER WEEK,

Beth, it sounds like it is time to retreat and have some private/recuperation time!! We all have to do that sometimes! Even with nobody home but my husband, sometimes I "need" him to go someplace for a little while so I can have some quiet time for just "ME"!!!

Just say a little prayer of thanksgiving - and everything will be better - - - HANG IN THERE!!

Thanks for the encouragment. We just got back from karate graduation and it was stressful ( I thought the day would get better by now!!!) I knew I wouldn't be able to participate because I couldn't fit into full uniform. It was depressing. I had earned my second level belt. The little one was a pill. The grandson did well.

I am trying to focus on the positives. On the way to karate graduation I pointed out where a young driver decided to run a stop sign going about 45 mph and stopped in the middle of the intersection when she saw me coming.

I am grateful that I wasn't hit this morning by that car.

I am grateful that I have a current tetnus shot to protect me against infection from the cat.

I am grateful that I didn't eat the vanilla ice cream this morning.

I am grateful that I can start anew with the TOPS program and try again.

It still hurts about not being able to get into my full karate uniform yet. Maybe next graduation cycle.

Thanks, I wrote Pepper that we just got back from karate graduation. I sat there with the baby misbehaving and struggling with my emotions because I couldn't participate because we had to be in full uniform and I can't get into mine yet. It really hurt. I keep thinking maybe next graduation I can participate. I had earned my second level belt. The grandson has settled down. He did really well with the forms he performed at graduation. The baby (age 3 1/2) just ran in circles making a scene.

I do have something to be greatful for. A young drive ran a stop sign and stopped in the middle of the intersection (this morning) when she saw me coming. Fortunately I saw her and was able to stop in time to avoid an accident.

Oh Beth I know that had to be disappointing, but, I am glad you have the insight to look at the "good" things that happened. You sound like me....if it weren't for bad luck youw ould not have any luck...SO thereforth....We have to look for the positive things versus the negative things.

Heck it is a positive thing being able to even do the Karate lessons. Good luck in that and I am happy for you. PepperBeth wrote:

Thanks for the reply. Things got a little more challenging in the afternoon...like my granddaughter marking on a yellow and white afghan I am making with a green maker. I was in tears, but am able to deal with it a little better today. It is a gift and I may be able to get most of it off (Prewash?, shaving that area of the afghan/yarn with a razor to try to scrap it off? Any suggestions???) and just be honest and have to let it stay. I have too much time and money invested in it to start over or just throw it out.

Today is going better. I went to church and was blessed. My thumb is red and swollen and sore, but it is okay. Things could have been worse yesterday.

Thanks for the support.

Have a great week,

This morning has not been going my way. I didn't sleep well last night and then the grandson was up at 5:30 am, woke his younger sister up at 5:45 am and he has been into trouble or mischief all morning (like taking a marker and drawing all over his sister's arms).

I weighed in and had a .75 gain, ending my no gain streak. I just wanted to come home and eat a larger bowl of vanilla ice cream but talked myself out of it realizing that is precisely what I didn't need to be doing. I opted not to go to the day camp today because we just had too much going on here at the house. After months with little activity, I had 5 or 6 options to choose from. I opted for the family ones.

I heard our new kitten catterwalling and carrying on something fierce so I went to find out what was going on, figuring she was roughhousing with the other cats. Turned out she had her entire leg caught in the bird cage and couldn't get out. I went to help her get out and she, in her panic, bite me...I have two puncture marks in the under (skin) side of my thumb and two puncture marks through my thumbnail bed. It still throbs.

took the kids with him while he went to Sam's so I could have some peace and quite.

I have been trying to find the positives in all of this. The tylenol kicked in and the headache and backache are gone. I can work off the .75 gain in a week if I put my mind to it. The grandkids are loveable and they don't always have days like today. I could look forward to the emails on the loop.

Thanks for listening,

Melody told me once about some stuff they sell at Wal-Mart that is suppose to be really good at getting stains out of clothes. I can't remember what it is called but it comes in little blue bottles or little yellow bottles I think. Ask her about it when she finally gets back on line.

Re: sat morning weigh in

Thanks for the encouragment. We just got back from karate graduation and it was stressful ( I thought the day would get better by now!!!) I knew I wouldn't be able to participate because I couldn't fit into full uniform. It was depressing. I had earned my second level belt. The little one was a pill. The grandson did well.

I am trying to focus on the positives. On the way to karate graduation I pointed out where a young driver decided to run a stop sign going about 45 mph and stopped in the middle of the intersection when she saw me coming.

I am grateful that I wasn't hit this morning by that car.

I am grateful that I have a current tetnus shot to protect me against infection from the cat.

I am grateful that I didn't eat the vanilla ice cream this morning.

I am grateful that I can start anew with the TOPS program and try again.

It still hurts about not being able to get into my full karate uniform yet. Maybe next graduation cycle.

Thanks for the reply. Things got a little more challenging in the afternoon...like my granddaughter marking on a yellow and white afghan I am making with a green maker. I was in tears, but am able to deal with it a little better today. It is a gift and I may be able to get most of it off (Prewash?, shaving that area of the afghan/yarn with a razor to try to scrap it off? Any suggestions???) and just be honest and have to let it stay. I have too much time and money invested in it to start over or just throw it out.

Today is going better. I went to church and was blessed. My thumb is red and swollen and sore, but it is okay. Things could have been worse yesterday.

Thanks for the support.

Have a great week,

Beth

Hey green goes well with yellow and white, I am sorry she chose the gift to mark on. When I was caring for the graeat grand children recently got so we couldn't see picture on the TV screen they had gotten ahold of some crayons and drew pictures on the front of it. To bad it wasn't on paper so we could hang it on the fridge.

Glad your next day was so much better.

I use shout spray but there is a shout jell pen that works really well they all come from W#al Mart. My daughter in law got one of the pens when one of the great granddaughters sat on my lap to eat her lasagna smothered in tomato sauce all over my best T shirt. Got it all out.

I emailed a friend of mine who was concerned about how the past couple of days had gone and I concluded that my "battles" are so simple and I can be very thankful that they aren't any worse or more complicated. I do have so much to be grateful for. The little ones will be fine.

I was able to exercise this morning even though I didn't want to and felt much better when I was finished.

I am sure the afghan can be fixed. It is for a young child and I am sure her mom will see the humor in the whole episode. Breanna is the artist in the family and has also decorated the tv screen. I know that they won't be little for long...

Thanks for the encouragement and support.

Have a terrific day,
