WOO HOO Wednesday WLS Express

Well, it's day 2 of inclement weather school closings here in Little Elm.  DH is working from home again today.  He takes over my laptop, cuz his work interface thing doesnt work with Vista.  DS takes over the tv, and I go hybernate in the bedroom, cuz all day cartoons work the nerve. 

This weather seems to make me hungry.  I am almost never hungry, and getting my calories in is a challenge, but when it is like this, it seems I am a bottomless pit.  It is nice to be able to eat, but scary in a way. 

One of my woohoo's today is that I am beginning to get bone protrusion.  I can feel them!  It is interesting.  I looked in the mirror yesterday, and instead of the critical way I usually see myself, I saw the beauty my friends and family have been raving about.  I have been seeing a stranger in the mirror for several weeks now, my face is almost foreign to me.  I like the new me.  or the current me, I guess, cuz it will continue to change.  

For all of you who have the ickies, I pray health.  For all of you who have to drive in this nasty weather, I pray travelling mercies.  Prayers going up for all who need them!

Much love,

Jenn

Good morning everyone,

I am at work.  Since I only have 3 miles to drive, I can't really justify not trying.  The worst part is our parking lot here.  The security gaurds sanded by the doors but the parking lot itself is an ice rink.  I fussed at the gaurd when I came in and she got on the phone right away.  If you are going to keep the business open, you need to make it safe for your employees.

Please stay safe.  It should start melting off by noon.  Saying prayers for all of you. 

Good morning everyone.  I'm off work today and I actually live the closest of all the nurses...only 1.5 miles from work.  I just lucked out and wasn't scheduled to work today.  I have 3 days off and need to get to the gym but I bet it's not open today either.  It's 24 degrees here and VERY ICY.  Clay is waiting until later before he ventures to work. 

My tummy HURTS this morning for some crazy reason.  That never happens to me so I hope it's just simple gas or something.  Anyway, I just plan to sit in front of the fire, watching TV today.  So add me to the list of those not feeling well...

Good Morning All,
Good Heavens!  I hate these weather extremes we have here in north TX.  Thankfully schools are closed today in Frisco, so SIL is off.  He's keeping the girls till at least noon and will bring them to me later on.  I really don't want to get out in this weather at all!  I'm still in my jamies.  Ice everywhere.  Only 3 cars have ventured out on my street all morning.  Smart cookies!  We are supposed to be going to Canton this weekend.  At least the weather will be around 60 both days.  Meeting some of my family from La there.  Can't wait for that.  Prayers are still going up for Vickie.  Hope and pray they find the source of her problems and fix it quickly.  Also for all of you looking for employment.  Everyone be extremely careful if you are out today. 
Blessings,
Carol

I woke up feeling a little more human than yesterday which means I think I am well.  I still feel a little dizzy but I am sure that is a little bit of dehydration so I plan to work on that today.  I am feeling incredibly lonely the last couple of days.  Tim is out of town and it is the middle of the week so everyone is busy plus the weather made it impossible to get out in.  I think when I am sick I like attention so when it isn't there I start to feel sorry for myself.  I know this about me so I sucked it up and finished reading a book I bought over the weekend.  It was one suggested by many of you and let me tell you I loved it.  I read "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman and was enthralled with what he had to say.  I plan on putting it into action immediately.  Not that my marriage is in any kind of trouble but I am always looking for ways to improve my happiness and I think this book can really bring Tim and I even closer.  Believe it or not (no laughing here) I think part of our stress is me.  I know huge revelation (said in a sarcastic tone)  So because of this book I am going to try some things differently and see if that doesn't iron out some of the kinks.  Thank you for all *****commended it.  I know it took me a while but I just happened to find it at a used bookstore this weekend and bought it.    So that is my woohoo this Wednesday, I found a way to be an even better wife to my husband.  LOL  I plan to start the other one I bought today.  It is about having grown up girlfriends.  I think I could use help in that area as well.  Anyway, I am glad to be feeling better.  I will pray for any of you suffering from this stomach bug because you will need it.  I also hope all of you feeling bad get to feeling better soon. 
I hope anyone who has to drive in this mess does so safely.  I have to venture out later but not until after noon so hopefully it will be melted by then.  Love you all,
Jenn

Slide on over here, Chris and I are thinking of venturing out to Target. I know excitment for the day but I've been in the house for over 27 hours and I need to get out. Waiting to check the weather. Hope your dizziness stops!

Good Morning OH Family!

Brrrrr it has warmed up to a balmy 25 this morning. I don't know why on earth DH went to work today. We live 25miles from his work and the roads are solid ice. But he called and made it. Hope tomorrow we thaw out. I've done nothing but sit and watch movies and TV and eat for two days! Going to throw out those cornbread muffins today! Woke up with a sore throat and headache today. I pray I'm not getting sick. Tomorrow need to get a haircut, get nails done. I'm starting to let myself go and that is not like me. Time to stop the self-defeating behaviors. My woo hoo this Wed is I did my "25 things about me list" on Facebook yesterday and had an easier time making a list this year than i would have in the past. In the past I would  have only been able to name things that had to do with my job or family. I encourage everyone to make a list it is also fun to read others you learn alot about yourself and each other. Hope everyone stays safe today.

Hugs,

Lynnette

  

I've got a couple of WooHoo's to share!

First WOOHOO is I finally have a few minutes to catch up on things here.  I've been in WV since the 18th and I am so ready to go home!!  It's been snowing off and on all week.  One more week of this project and of course, most of the ten day forecast has snowflakes! 

I've had two people at work (keeping in mind that we are consultants and don't work with these people every single day) tell me this week how "skinny" I'm looking! 

Shopping on Saturday with a co-worker that I assume was a couple of sizes smaller than me and WOOHOO I bought 2 sizes smaller than she did!!  What an eye-opener.

I think my biggest WOOHOO / WOW moment of the week was walking into the mall on Monday and caught my reflection in the door and by gosh, I did look skinny!  Well, maybe not, SKINNY - but slimmer than my co-worker walking beside me. 

Sorry to hear everyone is feeling so lousy - I hope you're all on the rebound!!

I am late with my Woo Hoo. But I have an 8lb.13oz.
Woo Hoo-Grand-daughter #2 was born this afternoon.
Her name is Daphne. She would cry and her 3 yr old
sister would cry. Our son said -"it is ok" .Valerie said
"Dad it is not ok". Everyone is doing fine except for
big sister -and she is so tired and has to cry every time
the new baby cries.
Anita

Woo Hoo, Anita!!  A new grandbaby!  Congrats!!!

Hugs,
