Finish What You Started

TAKE THEM…TAKE THEM NOW!!!

lol

Driving me nuts(again)

tired, head is pounding…trying to get stuff done while trying to tune out my Daughter’s whine. I don’t think you all understand how much the girl whines and cry’s about anything and everything all.day.long. And her brother antagonizes her at times to make her keep doing it.

I used to look forward to the weekends :roll:

Summer camp for these two may just the thing. Especially to keep my son occupied and outta trouble.

I don’t complain much, because why complain about stuff if you don’t intend on trying to help change it?
I vent all the time to my hubby, but he’s not here :sad:
I don’t have close friends IRL. I’m pretty much ridin solo.
Don’t get me wrong, I know all sorts of people but no one that I can just call up and cry to.
No one calls to see how I’m doing or ask if I need help, so I guess it’s mutual.

blah.


Ok, enough complaining!

I think my legs have lost some muskle…must fix this.


.

But I still have ‘back.’

Xmas last year 10-15lbs heavier…

.

rough on the little ones… especially the nonstop whining. i bet she’s not nearly as bad when she’s with someone else. most kids are WAY worse with their own parents. you definitely deserve a break.

your man’s parents can’t ever watch them? or they live far away? i thought i remembered u saying his dad was coming over.

maybe you have to break down and hire someone to babysit every once in awhile. your sanity is pretty important and it’s actually in ur kids’ best interest for you to get some time apart so you aren’t so short tempered with them. the military doesn’t offer some kind of deployed hubby, mommy needs a fuckin break daycare?? lol

legs look great! wings too! at least muscle is fun to put on. =+)

Your legs are lean, I had to be one of those people that carried all their weight in their legs :frowning:

You have an awesome X-shape

betty, darling, i can honestly say I’ve not been a military wife.

However, I watched my sister do it for 6 years, my brother and sister in law do it for 5, with long and inconvenient deployments. (happens when your man is good at his job.)

You need to make that call. They won’t call you. Offer a once a week trade for kids, it’s only fair. They want a break as much as you do, and are probably going as nuts. Military wives will help each other out as much as the men will, but this isn’t Nam and they’re not gonna come knock on your door.

And yes, summer camp is a great idea. Start planning for that now.

(also, you’re hott. legs dont look like theyve lost muscle, just leaner. adding more is never a prob, tho.)

I’ve been a military girlfriend/wife for 13 years now. wow!

Deja- His parents parents live in MI…I like the name of your Mommy daycare, LOL! But no, there is no such thing as that.

Honestly, I don’t know anyone that I would ask to take my kids. I have many acquaintances but not many friends.

The way I see it, the hubby doesn’t get a break. It’s day in day out for him so do I have a right to complain? I dunno.

I’ll live. It’s almost Monday and they go back to school. Then the in-laws will be here…and yes, the kids are perfect angels at other peoples houses/with company. Soon it will be January, which will probably craaaawl by, then the hubby will be home in Feb!!! I miss him…we all miss him * A LOT* I think taking him to the airport and saying our see ya laterz there really traumatized my son.
Hubby is renting a car to drive home and then back to the airport so we don’t have to go through that again.

Mim: What lovely shapely legs you have! Sorry about the stress at home–I wish I could help.

Fantastic legs! Yeah, I’m another who carries all my fat on my hips and thighs. The only time I even had a hint of definition there was back when I was on 15 Marlboro a day. Turns out nicotine is anti-estrogenic. Anyway, that was 15 years ago.
Hope you get a break from your stress. At least I only have to deal with kids three days a week and get to give them back when I go home!

I’ll get through this…always do!

It’s good to just vent every now and again…even if it is to the e-world…thanks ladies!

Old school Linkin Park - I love that song!
Sorry to hear about the home stress. Being able to vent somewhere is a wonderful thing.

Oh and I love the back pictures - you’ve got some wicked curve going on!

Thanks LS…ya, thought the song was fitting!

Shaping up to be a decent day. And the lifting belt that I found last Monday was still there and is mine now!

Hey, it’s good to have some(cute) motivation around, amirite?

PS…critiques are welcome and appreciated…

Thanks!!

sweet pull @ 230. got it up easy peasy. =+)

what’s up with that little pull up thingee you do once you’re set in the hole?

Woo hoo!! I’m so glad you’re testing your maxes cuz you’re one damn strong woman!

Those Dls looked fantastic! But I’ll let the experts weigh in.

So you did them side bends, eh?

Cute boys FTW!

And nice avi!! You’re a girl after my heart with the pin-ups. When you post an original Betty, I’ll post an original Mascherano :wink:

lookin at the vids again, I’m not very happy with the form. DL’s like squats(and bench!) are so technical!

It’s frustrating.

Deja- THANKS!!
pull up thingee? I dunno, maybe I was just getting adjusted?

Maschy- Thanks…
There’s a pin-up inspired pic in my hub somewhere. It would be so fun to go get real photos done!! I could be the new age Bettie. :smiley:
I’d probably need to lose about 2 more inches off my waist and gain 2 inches in the hips! :smiley:

For reference:

Bettie!
