Home from our running around and we have all the yard work done. I just got out of the shower and will get dressed here pretty soon. Church is at 4pm and I'm working the Nut Sale. lol. Our Women's Ministry is selling holiday nuts and candies and this is my weekend to man the station. Good thing I will be in Church where God sees all and will keep my fingers away from all the goodies. I do think I will pick up a bag of chopped walnuts. That way I will have them here for baking. We went over to the Grand Opening of the Event Center. We wanted to see where are seats are for the concert. We had to wait in line for the politicians to quit jabberwalking so we could go in. We got free ski caps. Found our seats and sat and watched the hockey game for a little while. We went back to where to concessions are and Hubby had to go potty, I saw everyone eating popcorn so I decided to get me some. I went up to the counter and handed the lady my money and told her I wanted some and she handed it to me and said it was free. So when Hubby came out I told him and he went over to get some and they gave him a bag of peanuts in the shell. Uhmmm. Where's my bag???? Well, you know I'll be sharing his. We spent about an hour mowing and getting rid of as most of the leaves as we could. Next mow is in the spring. Hope everyone is having a good day. Keep those chins up.

Good Saturday Morning. Michelle, I hope it's a day in bed for you. You need to let your body rest. I have found that that is the best thing. Your body needs time to heal it's self. I'm sending hugs to you. Jenn, Glad your on the mend. A morning at Chuckie's? I would still be in trouble. I can eat pizza anytime of the day. Today hubby and I will be in and out. Lots to do. Most of it outside work. Need to do one more mowing for the year and hopefully finish up the leaves. I hope Kat is having a great time. Everyone have a great day and I'll check in soon.

I'm here, just really tired.

Good Morning Girls. Kat, I am so glad that you had a talk with the Doc. I hope things work out when you get home but like you said, if they don't you can collect unemployment. Have a great and safe trip. Michelle, good luck on the wood cutting. We have already spent 2 weekends doing that. Be careful. There is a new Events Center that they built about 10 miles from here that is having it's Grand Opening this weekend. We have tickets alreadyt to go see Charley Daniels Band. So we are gonna go see where are seats are and take a look at the place. Today I have to work a double shift. I'll get to come home for about an hour for lunch and than will have to head back to work. So it might not be till this evening before I can check back in. Everyone have a great day and I see ya all later.

Kat, hubby and I have never been big at celebrating our anniversary. This year we are going on our 27th. together. We usually go to dinner and do X-mas shopping. We don't buy gifts anymore and I can hardly eat when we go out so it doesn't pay for us to go, but we do it any way. But thru it all, both of our famlies have always left us to do what we want. To bad his parents are seeing that, but maybe if you look at it like that you don't have much longer with them it might be easier for you to get thru days like this. I would also document all the times that the OM contradictes you and than take your concerns to the Doc. Let him know that you are trying to abide by the rules but they they keep getting broke and not by you. Hubby and I went to breakfast this morning and had a great time. We left there and went over to Shoe Carnival and I got 2 new pairs of gym shoes for $60.00. I'm pretty happy. We came home and I dropped hubby off and I headed back to Wal-Mart to return something than off to the grocery store. Came home and started laundry, talked on the phone, made the bed, ran the sweeper in the bedrooms, mopped the kitchen floor, packed up a few things and than finished running the sweeper thru the house. Now I have my feet up for about a half hour before I have to head off to work. Tonight is also our monthly Women's Ministry meeting. I told hubby that I'm so tired and that I should stay home, but if you don't go then they volunteer you for things and I think I already do enough, LOL. The weather is supposed to be real nice here this weekend so it looks like we will finish up all the leaves and make one last mow. Than it can snow all it wants to after that. Everyone have a great day.

Morning Girls. I hate when I have a crappy sleeping night. Oh well. This morning is our Family Breakfast, so I need to go in and get my hair dried and get dressed. Need to get the butt moving. Afterwards we are going over to Shoe Carnival. They are haveing a shoe sale and I need to find me some new walking shoes. Last time we went, they didn't have my size so I'm hoping I have luck today. "Alaska State Troopers"? Never heard of that one. I bet it's kinda good though. What channel is it on? Michelle, I've never taken anything like that so I have no advice for you. But I would be weary of anything that does cause a weight gain. Kat, Is it possible to hang on and look for a new job? I hate that if it wasn't for the OM, that you would have the ideal job. Good Luck. Jenn, Hugs to you and hope you get to feeling better. I'm off to go eat, lol. Everyone have a great day.

Up and getting ready for work. I have a real busy day ahead of me, so I will check in when I get a chance. Hope you all have a great day and make good food choices.

Hey there. Sitting here watching DWTS from last night so I can be caught up for tonights show. I made B&G for dinner and it was very good. I so want a second helping but my tummy won't take it. So I'm determined to not push it. Full day tomorrow. I mean really full. I will be gone most of the day. I'll check in when I can. Hope all our sicky's are doing better.

Hey Girls. Jenn, Hope you get to feeling better soon. Kat, Sorry eveyone is sick. Hope Kinsey doesn't have a rough time with it. I'm so glad my bout with the flu is over and I hope that I don't come down with anything else. So far other that muscle aches from doing firewood and falling, everyone is doing ok. I'm really surprised that we all didn't come down with flu last week when I had it. Had a lot of running around to do this morning. We still need to go vote. There is only one issue on the ballot and it has to do with extending the drug tax. Cats are in and out today. The sun is shining but it is on the cool side. I was finally able to make a hair appointment. When I called Ann I told her I needed to come in and get my mop taken care of. She wanted to know when I could do it. I looked at the calender and I have no free time till next week on Wednesday. The Doc's office juts called and they want me to come in for a med check. Now I got to figure out when I can do that. I thought when I retired that things were going to slow down some. I'm more busier now. LOL.

Back from my first Confirmation class. It was very interesting and fun. I really enjoyed it. I hate that there is so many of my friends in a funk right now. I wish I knoew what to say to you guys to get you out of it. Just know that I think of you alot and wish you the best. Hope tomorrow brings a rainbow to your hearts and a smile to your faces. They say we might have frost tonight. I'm waiting for our first snow fall. I love snow. Hubby always says thats because I don't have to drive in it. Well, I do now with my little PT job I have. I just think that the snow makes everything so pretty. Getting tired now. Guess I'll head to bed. I managed to get in right around 1300 calories today. Not all of it was healthy but I'm working on that part. Night everyone.

Home from work and debating if I should take doggie for a walk. We'll see. Irene, glad you checked in. Hope you get to feeling better soon. TracyK. Don't let tom get to you. Ignore what it is saying about food and be strong. Sis is up and doing good. She said that she gets real sharp pains and than it goes to a dull ache. Doc said for her to stay in bed for a week. We'll see how long that last. She's just like me when I get that way. I feel good on the pain killers and than I end up over doing it. I need a nap but I have so much stuff to do. And tonight I start helping teaching at our church. The Confirmation classes start tonight and I was asked if I would like to help with them. Holy Cow. Me in a room with a bunch of teenagers. I guess that's better than a class full of 6 year olds. I can do this...i can do this... I had a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and just finished a bowl of egg drop soup. Not sure what is for dinner yet. Probably leftovers form the turkey dinner last night. Hope all of you are having a great day.

Good Monday Morning All. I just finished reading the story of the little boy. Oh my, how awful. What is wrong with people. Is it really neccesary to kill these little kids. There was a little one killed last week here in MO. She was walking home from a friends house. They have a 15 year old in custody for that one. Even if they rape them or whatever sex things they do, do they really need to kill them. So sad, . Sis just came up to tell me they took 8 x-rays of her back and was amazed at all the hardware in there. Turns out she has a fractured coccyx. Advil, flexerall and vicodin for a week. And bed rest. Poor thing. They don't want her picking up anything, not even the pets. So I'm on extra duty this week. And today starts my "November to Remember". I'll remember it because it will be the month I get my head back in this and lose 8 pounds for the month. Wish me Luck. Everyone have a great day, I'll check in when I get off work.

Jenn, sorry to hear son is still very sick. Hopefully you can help him break that fever by giving him meds every 4 hours. Good Luck with that I hope all goes well with you dsd tomorrow and her surgery. Sis and her hubby were here giving doggie a bath. She came out holding him and started to go down the stairs. All of a sudden she went down. She hit her tail bone on the top step that has the metal strip to hold the carpet on. Thank God she didn't go forward and go all the way down the stairs. I took doggie from her and she walked down. She said she was ok but couldn't sit. That was all about 15 minutes ago. She just told me that they are going ot the ER to have her back x-rayed. She's the one that has the steel cage around her spine. 4 rods and 12 titanium screws. Boy, I sure hope she hasn't messed anything up. I'll let you guys know when I hear anything. Nite and chat with ya later.

Hubby and BIL gathering wood from our property.

Pics from Halloween

Bless me Father fo I have sinned. I was a Glutton today. Just got back from our Church's Thanksgiving dinner. Holy Cow I can eat. I didn't eat my roll or the cranberry sauce. But everything else was wonderful. I'm sorry to be talking about it, but it was so good. And than to top it off I had a brownie. Ok, tomorrow I start back on journey. Got my journal out. The one I keep bringing out and never write in. Let's see how I manage this time with it.

Jenn, Hope you DS gets to feeling better. Poor thing. So it's a new month. Do we have a plan for this month? I'm going to shoot for a 8 pound loss. Also we need a "Drop the Crap" day, wanna make it a Tuesday? Think I'll go take doggie for a walk.

Good Sunday Morning. Tracy, thanks for sending the pics. I loved them. What a cutie pie. Good Luck with the candy. We still have 3 bags left. I was trying to give it out by the handfulls but ran out of kids. We had quite a few more kids this year than last. I called the vets office yesterday and left a message. They called back about an hour later and told me it was last January that this happened to Tippy. He said he would leave her meds by the back door. I was able to get there before he left and get her meds and some special food for her also. I walked out $75.00 poorer. Now the hard part starts. She is such a fighter. We have to wrap her in a blanket and restrain her, pull her cheek out and put the syringe in. Holy Cow. Hubby had the fireplace going when I got up. Guess I'll sit here for awhile and enjoy it. I was thinking about going for my walk. Maybe later today. Hope everyone is well.

Hey everyone. We spent the day out on our property cutting wood. It was such a lovely day for it. Now I'm home and hubby has brought wood in and has the fireplace all set up. He's so sweet. I got home from church a little while ago to find the cat laying in the cat box. She had a bladder thing last year and I'm wondering if she is having it again. I called the vets office and they are closed but have a hot-line, so I left a message. Hope they call back soon so I can get her on some meds before it gets bad for her. Poor thing. The bucket of candy is sitting on the piano. Hope they start showing up soon. Last night I took the kids over to the boo-fest and my niece was dressed up as a vampire. A five year old vampire, she was too cute. I'll post pics soon. Have a great evening.

:laugh: :laugh: Happy Halloween Everyone. :thumbup: :Yawn: I hope you have a very Spooky day. :laugh:

Home from the BooFest and the kids had a great time. They ended up going thru it 4 times, they had so much fun. We had first went to Wendy's so I could feed them and than to Church. It was a really fun time. Tomorrow we are headed out to the property to cut wood and bring it back and stack it. Fire in the fireplace tomorrow night. I'll be happy. I pulled a couple of roast out to put in the crockpot in the morning. It'll be a long day again. Sunday is my slow day, maybe not even get out of my PJ's. Oooops, yes I will. It's our annual Turkey dinner at church. So I'll run up there to get take out.

Jenn, is that a real tattoo??? Stopped by my sisters to drop off her bills and to pick up the sewing machine. I was in a hurry and left real quick. I than drove to the church for a funeral. I went in to go to the bathroom and I checked my phone. There was 4 calls. I listened to them and it was my sister, she was calling to see why I was mad at her. She was crying in each call. I called her back and she was afraid that I left so fast becasue I was mad at her. I reassured her I wasn't, that I had to leave to go to a funeral. She was all wigged out, so I got her calmed down and I headed back into church. Ughh. Home now and resting for awhile before I head back to work. When I get done there I'm gonna go pick the kids up. I'm looking forward to spending a little time with them. Hope everyone is having a good day.

Morning girls. Kat, my hideout place is my bathroom. The family knows when I go in there that they are not allowed to even knock on the door. The only time they can bother me is if the house is on fire, other than that they are to leave me alone. sometimes I just go in there to be by myself and get my head back on straight. I put the lid down on the toilet and just sit and do my thinking or not. My alone time, I can do what I want. It just so happens that the drawer on the counter pulls out right in front of me and make a little desk for me. I can put a magazine there or a puzzle book or even my laptop if I ever think I need to get away for that long. LOL. Michelle. I love the smell of wood burning. When I take my walks on cold days, I love to get a whiff of a wood burning stove. Good job on getting the pizza for those hardworking guys. Bless you. I need to get ready to head to a funeral. Than I have to work later today. I get off at 6pm and than will go pick the kids up and take them over to church for their BooFest. I'm so looking forward to it. I love to do things like that with the kids. I miss Abagail, I haven't seen her in about a month. Everyone have a great day and I will check in later.

I finally brought out the halloween candy. Guess it's time to get my butt to work than. See you all tonight.
