Hello Karen...just wanted to say "HI".

Hi Corey and NC!!! I'm having a good day today, weekend actually. Nothing special just working on the house, enjoying my weekend without the kids.

I kind of hate the kids being gone of course, but realized a bonus yesterday at the grocery store. I stocked up on fruits and vegetables, and I can actually eat them b/c my kids usually inhale them all in 24 hours so I don't get any. I bought a bunch of those single-serving healthy frozen meals I used to live on in college (at least they say they're healthy in the title). I worked out, and am just being healthy and if i lose that extra five pounds that keeps drifting back on, then frosting (oh, yeah, I'm thinking chocolate).

I'm moving over to Surviving today. I woke up and just realized it was time. Most have already moved over there. Corey and BR and Vicky and others--I'm going to keep checking on you, so you're not going to get rid of me!!! I'm ready to move on with my life and feeling like I'm surviving and thriving most days, so I think that's good.

Love you all!!!

Karen

I think that you are thriving, much more than just surviving! Good for you Karen. Im glad to hear that you are feeling good.

I bought a bunch of veggies the other day too, I have discovered that I LOVE spinach! I have to get while the gettins good, here in a few months, fresh veggies will be hard to find around here!

Hows school going for the kiddos? ooh, I guess I should post that over in the other forum!
