I called the Dr's office today because I feel like now that they took all the fluid out, and my stomach has finally had time to heal; It's time for a fill! My next appointment with him is not til the 24th of this month.
I am eating more, snacking more, and just not having much restriction here! My Dr. is on vacation so the covering Dr. will call me back with an appointment to get me in.
Valentine's Day is next Monday! Not sure what to get my hubby! I don't want to get him chocolates...or a stuffed animal! I know he wants a new fishing reel, but I just bought him one a few weeks ago. I asked him why he needed another when he has 5 now... his response "why do you need boots when you have 3 pairs already"??? Ok, I got it, good point! But I still haven't found the boots I want!
Anywhooo, I am off to take my girls to their scouts meeting.
Take care,
~Mandy

a few pics of me...and my other Steelers Fans...LOL
Me relaxing, on a snow day!
Yeah, really didn't want to be at work!!!
I was at work! Bored out of my mind!
My dad, me and the kids!
My & me Kiddos Left to Right: My oldest Hannah (10), me, my Baby Boy Joshua (5), and Natasha (9) Just a few pics of us last night b4 the game in our Pittsburg Gear! So Sad My BOYS didn't Win!!
Need to vent a-little
Hello Everyone,
Hope everyones weekend was good! At least better than mine! I am sad the Steelers did not win last night, but it sure was a good game.
You know since Friday night, I really feel like nothing has gone "right". First my truck, then cookies, me and my hubby fighting, I am really irritated lately. I get easily frustrated with him! Today at work just sucked!
Today when I woke up, I felt good, I felt refreshed, vibrant, healthy and ready to go! I got to work at 7:45 and no-one was around except the my bosses boss (Cheryl). My boss was comin in late today! My co-worker Denise (the other Case Manager) called out today! Then I found out 4 staff were out
today! We are so short staffed as it is, we can't afford to have 4 staff out! Ok, so I was supposed to have an ISP meeting at 10am.. I couldn't even go! Had to have the Program Director from ANOTHER program take my place. I had to work on the floor, I had bathroom duty again! Let me tell you; I do not need to work out on these days. I sweat my a** off enough just changing people! So I came home today, cooked dinner and now I am sittin in my recliner with a wine cooler in my hand Chillaxin (as my kids say)!

It's just what I ordered (not the Dr.) for myself. I have my music blasted and just tryin to unwind and Chill out! My kids are downstairs at Grammie's (my mom). Sorry pic is dark my web cam is not the greatest!
I told my husband today that we really need time for me and him! We are NEVER alone! I just need time for me and him! I think I need it more than him. SInce I am getting so easily irritated with him. Reason being is ALL he does is NAG! I hate it! He doesn't Nag at me, it's the Kids! Sometimes I really want to tell him to SHUT THE F*** UP! I am sick of hearin it and I am pretty Damn sure the kids are!
Ok so enough of that subject, I have to say I am really starting to realize that I NEED A FILL! Maybe not a whole lot, but something! All I want to do is EAT EAT EAT! Not good! Not good at all! I am not too happy about this! I know its almost "that" time! But seriously, I haven't been this bad since well before surgery. What do I do for the time being. My next appointment is not til the 24th of this month. My luck, since it has really sucked lately, I would be up about 10lbs.
Ok, well I am going to finish up here. Try to enjoy the last few minutes of peace b4 my kiddos come up.

Not a great start to my weekend
I am sorry if this is all over the place, but I am just so frustrated, lost, upset, confused, and not sure what to do!
So last night was Friday; got out of work a bit later than usual, paid mom's car payment, picked up mom, got the kids dinner, did some groceries (b4 more snow comes), then @ 6:30 went over to pick up the Girl Scouts Troop order for Cookies!
We were loading, sorting and unloading boxes and boxes of cookies...even for another troop. It's the Girl Scout way! Giving a helping hand... (horray)!
So as I am in the storage unit where they have the cookies, I heard someone yelling "MANDY". I have a hard time hearing, so I ignored it b/c I thought it would be crazy anyone screaming my name...then a man came down the hall and asked if there was a Mandy. "Thats me"! The man told me someone was calling for me outside. It was my mother...Standing outside of my SMOKING TRUCK!! Yes SMOKING! My freakin Radiator BLEW (while mom was waiting in it)! Mom said she heard a loud "BANG" and then jumped out of the truck saw the smoke and was so afraid it was going to go up in flames.
SO...I call my husband "I need u to come down here, the truck is smoking and I can get the hood open.."!!! Now if he had of responded differently I wouldn't mind but really "oh what do you want me to do?" "GET DOWN HERE! I dont know what to do, Its smoking like crazy and smells like radiatior fluid is burning"!! (all I wanted atthat point was for him to come and rescue me)!~
I had my new friend Jenna with me (we were loading her van with cookies too)! My truck mind you was already JAM PACKED with cookies! Jenna called her boyfriend, my husband came, and since Jay (Jenna's BF) had AAA; he was able to get us a tow for free! Thank GOD for new friends!! (I have to get a Thank You Card to send to them)!
So it was a long night for us; we brought over 1000 boxes of cookies to my house. Jenna came over with her 2 kids and they played while Jenna and I sorted them out until 11 o'clock last night! When we were done; we have one too many boxes left! So needless to say Jenna is coming back today to help with a recount and go through the orders again!
As for my truck, It is sitting in my driveway Undriveable, not sure how I will get to work! Good thing I filed my taxes! Hopefully I will have them in a few days so I can get the truck fixed.
I weighed myself on the wii this morning. I am in no mood for Weight Watchers. I am down 2 lbs. UGH! I am not even thrilled for that right now! 217 lbs. I should be happy for the loss...but not today!
Ok..I have been up since 5:30 am (So much for sleeping in on my day off)! Have Hannah, Natasha, Sarah and My baby boy Joshua here! I should get them some breakfast! Hannah is sleeping over Sarah's tonight! (for those of you who don't know Sarah is Jenna's daughter our girls are BFF's)!
I have so much more on my mind, but I will write later if I get a chance!

BYOC.....
My 1st BYOC~
I am following Ronnie's BYOC! So here goes...
1.What piece of clothing can you absolutely not live without?
I can't live without a bra! If I did, my boobs would be to my knees and I could possibly throw them over my shoulder! LMAO! So I can NOT live without a bra!
2.If you could go back in time for just 24 hours, where would you go and why?
Hmmm....I am not too sure about this question! I honestly think I would go back to the day I had my daughter and be sure her Sperm Donor did not sign the Birth Certificate! I wouldn't have had to go through such hassle to have him sign over his right!
3.If you could change one feature of your looks, what would it be and why?
I am told I have a beautiful face..My eyes light up and my smile is wonderful! I wouldn't change anything about my features...I love my hair color (it is natural)..and my face is great the way it is. If we are talking about our bodies, that is a whole other ballgame! My Tummy Rolls Need To GO!!! *Sit Up *Sit Up *Sit Up! (Doing sit ups..)LOL
4.What things do you enjoy or only do when you're alone?
Oh...I am NEVER alone! The only time I am alone (HONESTLY) is on my drive to and from work or in the shower! At that time I like to blast my music as loud as I can tolerate and be in my own little world.
Repeat question: Summarize your life in real life and in blogland this week.
I have to tell you all, I don't have much of a "Life"! Monday-Friday is routine! I get up at 5:30 am, Shower, Dress, Make-Up and Hair, then off to work for 8 hours, Home about 4:30 and dinner, kids homework, give baths or showers...bedtime! Saturdays- Weight Watchers, groceries, and shopping. Sundays are my lazy days...I lounge all day.
I am happy to meet new people in BlogLand! I have some great supporters on here! Thank you all!
Well, thats it for my BYOC...
I will write tomorrow for Weigh in!

~My 1st AWARD~
I was nominated for the Stylish Blogger AWARD. I would like to thank Amber over at http://amber-jewelintherough.blogspot.com/ and momof4redheads @ http://canadiangirlwithaband.blogspot.com/2011/02/awards.html
So I am supposed to reveal 7 things about myself...I will have to give this some serious thought...
1. I am extremely shy! I don't have many friends and hate making new friends because I don't talk much until you get to know me! I really don't have much social skills and never know what to say!
2. I have really bad anxiety, to the point I can't breath. I usually get this anxiety when I am put on the spot! I hate being center of attention. Doing presentations, giving speeches, or demonstrations. I stumble over my words! The anxiety really takes over. (all ties in with me being shy and no social skills).
3. I am judgemental and think that everyone else is too! (Not everyone..but, you know what I mean). I care what others think and say! I judge people, not one of my best qualities...and I hate that I do it! I try really hard not to judge, but I always feel people are judging me! (It's all part of my insecurities)!
4. I am an only child (in my mind). I have step brothers and sisters...but don't have much contact with them. I don't speak with my Father, so I chose not to speak with them. I felt as though my Father replaced me with his Wife's children (then had children of their own) and he never treated me the same since!
5. I have a really close relationship with my mother! I live upstairs from her and she is my Best Friend! I tell her (Pretty Much) everything! Except the things I know she does not need to hear! LOL. I confide in her for alot of things and she is great to my children!
6. I am running out of things here! Like Amber I am only a few credits away from my Associates Degree. I just haven't had the time, money or energy to go back to school. I need 2 Math classes and a Science.
7. I have a hard time expressing myself verbally! I can write it down and send it off..but when it comes to problem solving (in my relationship) or confrontation, I get really upset and cry!My Nominations are
1. Tori @Tori's Tattle Tales
2. Manda Panda @ CandyLand to BandLand
3. Shannon @ A Fat Wife's Journey to Fabulous
4. Violinist with a Band
5. Kellie @ Something About Kellie
6. Manda @ The REAL Me
7. Tanya @ Tanya's Lap Band Journey
8. Ronnie @ Ronnie's Bandumentary
9. Molly @ A Lead Singer
10. Bonnie @ Banded and Proud of It!
11. Amanda @ Amanda's Waning
12. Amanda @ Band on the Run
13. Tagyourit @ Fat Girl on the Outside
14. Heather @ Heathers LapBand Journey
15. Amanda @ Life of a (Hopeful) Loser
Didn't realize how many Amanda's I have nominated! Well thank you to those who read my blog! I appreciate your support! You are my motivation! Thank you!
