Hi all,

Sun, I am not sure that I said ANYTHING wrong to my daughter I just agreed that it sounded like a good job for her, then she switched things up on me screaming that no one will hire her because she will have to leave in August.??? I need prayers tonight my family, there are many things that are going on that I am not sharing, just please pray that God will hear my prayers. Thank you. BBL :hGina

Aww Georgie you must have a teenage daughter. Aren't they lovely? This will pass. They are like little grenades...quite and calm then a HUGE bang. I will be praying.

Mama I am in management for medical billing, my background is coding. I work from home right now and hate it! I will be back in an office setting with grown people...YAY!

Ya'll I have lost 8.5 lbs this month since January 9th! I am so psyched. Almost afraid to say anything becuase I think I might jinx it though...but I have counted the weeks until my bday and sort of made a plan-- the old one did not work too well so I changed alot of it which is how I sort of overcame the alcohol stuff (though I am not cocky-- it could kick me in the ass at any minute).

Britt--hub helps at times with our son but during the week he is loathe to. I think his view (and as someone who had an identical career to him- partner in a big law firm-- I sort of get it) is that during the week his job is stressful and that our social conttract is that I take care of son and he earns the money, he needs his downtime during then to be his best. Since I have had chronic health problems I guess it gets wearing to step in for him-- I would do it for him but I bet I would bitch too (behind his back of course-- hee). Of course when we both worked pre-son he admitted he was a total load-- I did all the house stuff and earned more money than him. I have to say that for someone who was pretty disorganized I give him props for taking over the money stuff along with his job. Now of course if he was asked where son is supposed to be on a given day of the week he would have no clue. Last nigth as I was putting Luke to bed he actually said "Mommy, I love dad but he just does not run things as well as you do". I think kids love security and sameness even if they complain about the business like nature of some of the arrangments.

and with that I am going to pick Luke up from his playdate-- we are going to the movie Redtails about the Tuskeegee airmen. I hear it is more blockbuster than historical but hubs wants to see it. we were thinking the Gary Oldham movie but that is heavy (and I read the book). Love to all!

They are all in their room at least....Georgie I cant talk to my kids without them getting all defensive or rude or upset so I dont say much.....Atl I too have lost 8.5 pounds. Ive been working out like crazy...bought some new slippers for 3 bucks, told the lady I didnt want the receipt and they are too little. Guess I will give them to the kids. Bought Pouncer a new collar...kinda bored.

What size are your feet, Bird? I have an extra set, but I'm a women's size eleven and a half.

You know...I've always been curious, but never asked...what IS your avatar? It looks like a legged seal with canines....

9 1/2 Fenn. I dont know what my avatar is. I think it is a schmoo. Remember that comic? There is a picture of me riding it in the gallery I think. I took it as a joke for Morrison a long time ago...the kids are screaming their heads off.

Wow Bird,
Sounds like we have a lot in common. Teenage plus children, a will to lose weight. If your name reflects what you love, I too love birds. I believe that they are like angels, I have had four in my lifetime. XO Gina

Yes we have been through many birds, parakeets, finches and chickens that were pets. Been playing scrabble on fb..kids still loud..

[Georgie]

Lol,
Yep I too have had canaries, parakeets, and a parolet, and I have rescued many wild birds in my lifetime. Your kids sound younger than mine though. How is the weight loss going? Mine is not. It is so hard I used to be so thin that people thought that I had an eating disorder. Mmmmm wish I could find a happy medium. Gina

Georgie.......I have a love bird that my youngest son has had since he was in the 6th grade......he's now a senior. The bird thinks he's human....being one love bird, my son is his soul mate. It's weird....Ha! Hope your doing ok G. Tony

That is funny about the love bird Tony...my kids are 13 and 15 Geo. I have rescued many birds as well. I joined team lean at the Y so I have to lose weight or else pay if I gain, so it is a great motivator. There should be a team sober, pay if you drink..

Thanks Tony,

I am okay. I once almost got a Love bird but the sales-clerk talked me into a parolet instead. I know of a few people who have had them and they make wonderful companions. I love all birds even crows, they just fascinate me... G
