So these are the kind of shenanigans that my husband is partaking in during bike week in Daytona. What a goof. I really miss him and was more than jealous when he told me that it was 85 degrees there today! He better bring back some of that warmth with him.
On the homefront, my daughter tried out for her middle school volleyball team and found out today she didn't make it. I picked her up from the tryouts and, to her credit, she didn't start crying until she got in the car. I felt so bad for her, but I told her how proud I was that she tried. It was nice that the coach let the girls who didn't make it down fairly easy - she told them that she hadn't made her 7th grade team, but went on to make her 8th grade team and her high school team. My daughter has never done anything with volleyball besides in her normal gym class, so I am going to look for some volleyball summer camps to improve her skills. I wish hubby had been here to give her a hug. He did call, but of course it's not the same. However, it could have been worse. I'll take rejection over stitches (see Read's post here) any day.
I had mentioned that I was putting off scheduling an appointment with my surgeon because I hadn't lost weight. Well I have one scheduled, but couldn't get it until April 6th. I'm not really that concerned about it. Even though I'm not in a green zone, I do feel some restriction. I'm hoping exercise will help move the scale. Angie, Read, Linda and I have all made personal goals as to where we want to be by the time we go to New York for the BOOBS brunch on March 20th. Here's hoping I finally get out of the 240s.
Happy hump day. :)

Bonnie I am glad to know that I am not the only one that has a kooky husband. :)
ReplyDeleteI still have yet to move from my loss right after my fill so I guess we are in the same boat...Good luck and only 10 days until NYC!!!
Cute pic! I feel for your daughter, it hurts my heart when my kids get hurt too. Girl, don't stay away from the doc when you don't lose, that's when you need their help! Hang in there, you'll get there, some of us are just slower than others, namely me!
ReplyDeletelol at your husband!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your daughter! Rejection is never fun but in a way I think it makes us stronger! Strange saying it but it is true! If you really want it you keep trying! But it still doesn't make it easier!
Although not a biker chick, I've always wanted to go to a biker week, just to experience it! I know you're missing him so hopefully time will pass quickly for you. ~hugs.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic. I hate that she didn't make it but it sounds like she has a great mom to help her prepare for next year. Good luck on the appointment.
ReplyDeleteYour husband looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good mommy to help your daughter with volleyball. That's what mom's do right?
Sorry for your daughter. What a great plan to prep for next year.
ReplyDeleteI bet you'll make your goal! YAY! for bandster meet-ups :)
I wish there was a "like" button like on facebook because Tessie said what I wanted to say regarding your daughter. I hope she keeps her chin up and decides to give it a try next year. You are such a good mom to get her involved in a camp that will better her skills. YAY Bonnie!! You know we are in the same spot weight wise. I didn't go to my doctor for the very same reasons. I posted about it today.
ReplyDeleteYour husband is a character. Makes me smile.
I know that must've been tough for your daughter but get her into a camp and I bet she makes it next year. Very brave of her to try out with no real experience. Girl's got guts!
ReplyDeleteI am so proud that your daughter tried.. But, I am sorry that she didn't make it..
ReplyDeleteThat photo of your Hubs is a hoot! He looks like he's having a blast!
So sorry for your daughter, its so hard.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of your husband!
I wish you came with him... I would love to see my Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteLooks like your husband is having a blast. I hope he won the fight!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your daughter is dealing with not making the volleyball team. I think you have great ideas to help stop it from happening again. I hope she doesn't start to feel like volleyball is not fun, now.
Why does it have to be so hard to get appts? I'm learning just to schedule one before I go... Glad you got one!
The volleyball clinic over the summer sounds like a great idea. I'm sorry she didn't make the team.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear your daughter did not make the team! Cute pic of your hubby LOL. Seems to be enjoying himself!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a walking goal for Chicago and funnily it I am actually putting in my miles.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter will love volleyball camp and improve not only her game but her physical activity.
Awww...I want to give your daughter a hug. See I can deal with stiches. Broken hearts KILL me.
ReplyDeletePoor baby, but she handled it well with dignity and all those good things. Undoubtably things she learned from her mama! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you scheduled an appointment, it's always good to check in, especially when you feel like you're not doing as well as you'd like to be.
can't wait to see you!
ReplyDeleteI just want to give your daughter a hug...I have been in that spot and am thankful I had a mom to hug me too..hopefully she is feeling a bit better and the camp idea is great!!
