ups and downs and shifting around

[bikinibound]

Thanks ladies! I feel so much better today. Maybe it's b/c Flo has done the worst of her damage or maybe it's b/c I drink tons of water or maybe it's b/c I finally freakin' slept yesterday. I slept about 12 hours: I had a nap and a full night's rest. I didn't, however, feel good enough to walk forever to classes. I actually parked close to them. *shrugs* I was alert today and that helped. My math prof pulled me to the side and tried to convince me to take another math I don't need, unless I went for a bachelor's degree. And, silly me, I'm considering. How nerdy can one person get? Apparently my grades speak for me. Hehe.

I'm starving, but I wanted to check in. I hope to find time to stop in later to reply to messages and post in diaries. Have a good one!

Sorry to hear you were feeling yucky--but I was thrilled that you got a great night's sleep. You are such a math nerd!! I'm insanely jealous b/c I suck at math...I'm gonna buy you a pocket protector!! hehe. Perhaps you should change your major from paralegal to civil engineer! I'm serious!!

 

[SoSel]

I'm glad you're feeling better.

What's the harm in taking another math class? What if you decide later to get a BA? You'll have one class out of the way already.

That's what my math prof said. Even my advisor thinks I'm selling myself short with this degree, and encouraged me to pursue a bachelors at another college. I just want a steady income! I would love to stay in college forever and ever and be a prof myself.

Lmbo @ the pocket protector. My math prof has one! It took me a second to figure out how the heck the inside of his shirt pocket came to be laminated. I may be good at math, but I'm not all that bright. And I thought about engineering. But I thought about freedom. And freedom after 2 years beats the heck outta 6 yrs of college.

Umm....how can you be good at math and not all that bright??? That is BS!! You are bright as hell, and I don't ever wanna hear you say otherwise! Got it? lol Now, maybe not an engineer, but maybe a high school math teacher? That's only 4yrs. I think you'd make a great teacher.

It's almost time for this woman to go to bed. Oh, I'm telling you, I got a headache from all the homework I did today. And my tutoring session didn't go as well as planned. This guy is my best friend and he gets frustrated b/c I move too fast. I can't help it. He sits there and starts feeling sorry for himself and there's not a thing I can do to make his brain work faster. I show him short cuts and he gets confused. I show him my notes and he can't make sense of them b/c I leave out all the little steps. Honestly! I guess I don't have what it takes to tutor, but I'm trying to be patient.

Other than that, the H is trying to control himself. Things are better around the house. He's been helping out with cleaning and the kids a lot. He even let me sleep in this morning! I take anything as a good sign. :] He's going to his friend's house for the weekend to discuss their post-war stress issues. I hope this doesn't break the happy spell.

Me, I'm starting to get better, which means I need to exercise tomorrow. Really really need to. Nothing builds up your immunity like exercise. I think it's why I'm not as sick as I usually get. Can't let go of a good thing.

I'm so glad I found a better balance of school and life. I missed this place when I was finding my way through stacks of homework and a new routine. Everyone was right, it's week 3 and school is second nature. Of course, on the 16th I have a test and I have 2 on the 17th. Ha! I feel so screwed, but ready. Let's see what I know. :]

Oh, this is sooo funny! I was just writing a post and talking about how I'm not so good as a tutor. And now you suggest I teach math! My dream is to be an English professor, actually. I love English more than math, but am decent at both. I really want to be a perpetual student, but I go to college on financial aid, so that won't work.
Ah, and thanks for thinking I'd make a good teacher. I may well be one some day!

 

[Boam46]

Your doing so well getting everything together. Your superwoman!!!

Its great that H is helping out more... hopfully this weekend doesn't take him otta the mood... at least your prepared for that chance.

I'm glad your feeling better... excercise certainly helps with immunity and gets your body strong.

I understand your frustration with tutoring... its hard when you've explained something every way you can think of it and the other person doesn't get it. As for that other math class it can't really hurt. However, you should only take if you really want to.

Lots of Love

It's get-my-butt-in-gear day. Hehe. I don't have class on Fridays so I try to do all the housework I missed on Friday. That way I can just do hw on the weekends and visit friends or whatever I want. My plan hasn't been all too effective until today. I've been up since 7 washing dishes [no dishwasher in mi casa], doing laundry, making notes for Psych [test in 2 weeks], and I even got a load of clothes out on the clothes line. I've also been to wlf twice. All this cleaning gets old. Maybe I'm out of practice? lol!

My knees are also totally killing me. I can't ride my bike today w/o risking furthur injury [although I don't know why they hurt to begin with], so I'll try to get in a walk. I'd also like to do my pilates for abs video. My tummy is my problem area, along with arms. I don't know what to do for my arms other than weights and over-head claps. Any ideas? Push-ups are out of the question. Ok, I guess I can try again, but I usually make more noise than progress.

I think I really am getting better. I haven't taken any meds today b/c they make me sleepy and I have sooooo much to do. I feel alright, though. My congestion has really cleared up since this morning. I hope I don't relapse.

Hey girl - I just cant go back the 5 pages or so I missed - so I just wanted to drop you line to let you know i am thinkin abt you and wondering how you are fairing with school and suchGreat pic by the way!

 

[SoSel]

I found out that week 5 of the semester is kinda like hell week. I have tests in all 4 of my classes. 2 are open book/open notes [and I take darn good notes], one is multiple choice, and the other is just plain obnoxious. [So my buddy and I planned a night out after all that.] I'm only a little nervous b/c I don't know my profs testing styles. I'm sure I'll do fine, but I don't want to do fine. I want to do stellar. And I'm no longer understanding my drive.

I caught up on all the laundry yesterday- in one day! I have one load of towels to do and that's it. And not everything is put away, but it's one of those things where it's almost done and it looks so much better to me. My next plan is to decide what I want done most, do it, and reward myself with some sun time. I'm nowhere near is as dark as I can get and it drives me nuts.

On a weight loss note, I think I need to find the time to be accountable for my food again and fitting exercises into my scheme of things. I was slack for a few weeks. It's easy for me to say that today, with no classes, but it's something I need to do again. [Jenna- help! ] Keep me in line, ladies. It's time to start up again.

 

[bikinibound]

Love the new avatar, Selena. Did you dye your hair darker?

Ugh, laundry. I swear it's neverending at my house. I feel your pain..lol But at least you got it done.

Don't worry about hell week at college. I know you'll breeze right through it.

Get out there and exercise--and eat those fruits and veggies, or Jenna and I will come down there and make you!! lol

 

[Boam46]

If your ready I'll start asking about Mr. Vegtable and Mrs. Fruit everyday again!!! Sorry I was gone for a bit... i was a lousy partner

I'm here whenever your ready to start again... well... and if you don't... I'm coming down there with Kimberly

 

[SoSel]

Love the new avatar, Selena. Did you dye your hair darker?

Thanks! Yeah, I'm back to brunette, which is natural for me. I love it!

I'm worried enough to be prepared, but not have panic attacks. 'Course, this crap is 2 weeks away. I don't know what I'll be like then.

Get out there and exercise--and eat those fruits and veggies, or Jenna and I will come down there and make you!! lol

[/COLOR]

lol! Fine, then I won't behave and you'll HAVE to come force-feed me the healthy stuff. Ok, I know. I'll do better.

Yeah, I need to be held accountable. I get embaressed admitting I didn't eat right, so it motivates me. lol!
You were great for me. You went mia pretty much at the same time I did, so that wasn't a prob for me. And I know I could have reached you if I needed to.
Thanks hun! Luv ya!

 

[Boam46]

of course you can always find me... no matter how busy I am...

But here is the question of the day:

Did Mr. Vegtable and Mrs. Fruit have some fun nawty time today?

 

[SoSel]

I had some veggies in soup yesterday, but managed not to eat fruit. I basically managed not to eat much of anything. I went to cheer on UGA in the second-half yesterday [I'm a Clemson fan but I'll cheer any team taking on USC], & 2 beers gave me a buzz. C'mon now, I weigh 190 lbs and I'm no light weight. Let's see what I did eat.

bf- 2.5 muffins, coffee, splenda, creamer
l- 2 tortilla wrappers [little ones] w/cheese
d-veggie/rice/chicken soup, 1/2 grilled cheese
extra- 3.5 beers [Bud Light]

Today will be a better day, I'm sure. I got my mind set back. I weighed 191.2 this morning. That's a little motivator. Back to the low weight. I'm gonna bust up in the 180's before long. Is it unreasonable to say... hmmm... the end of this upcoming week? Let's do it!

 

[Boam46]

WTG Sel!!!! You're gonna be beating up the 180's before you know it!!! I dream of being in onderland LOL

Try and get some fruits and veggies down today!!!

Lots of Love

I can not seem to get anything done today, but the day has flown by. My daughter had another break-out, and the poor thing has been on my mind. Apparently she's allergic to something in our back yard. So that needs to be taken care of. Unfortunately, just like her, if I go near it I'll break out too. So I need some help and the hubby is gone and kinda crippled. Obviously, we need to stay away from the back yard. I love it out there, it's so shady. Oh well.

I still have to write this legal brief and it's so tedious! Not even hard, just ugh. I don't want to do it. I've been putting it off and it's not due until Tuesday...

I feel so aimless right now. I have things to do that I don't want to. I'm also tired, but I don't know why. I've been sleeping just fine. And I had this problem [well, honestly, I had a crush] but it's been resolved. I saw his girlfriend and decided that I'm too good for him. Imagine that! My confidence is building. I could NOT get that guy off my mind for anything, but when he walked in with this old bar-whore looking chick, I knew then and there that with my looks, I could do better. I know I'm married, but it was weird. I just had a crush. I know happy married people with crushes. So I guess it's more than normal that with my problems, I'd crush on a guy I thought was decent.

I'm off to do a little something.

Could you maybe take her to an allergist for a test so you can pinpoint what specifically is making her breakout?

It would just make it easier to eliminate whatever is irritating her from the surroundings.

What case are you briefing. They really are tedious... definitly not difficult. Just have to compact a lot of detailed info and make it very concise yet informative. They can really be a pain in the ass!

Its normal to have a crush!!! O0ooo and for getting your confidence and self-esteem up in the air!!!

I'm off to do a little something.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day

P.S. Don't forget to get some fruits and veggies in too

 

[SunnySweetpea]

Fruits and veggies, yea!

Sorry to hear about the allergies. Areyou gonna guess what it is, or take your daughter for some allergy meds?
