Shrinking violets- part 6!!!



Recommended Posts

Really? I didn't realize that. Why were you gonna do fertility testing if you hadn't even tried?

Because, I have been on b/c since I was 14 to regulate my periods, and when I was off of b/c I wouldn't have a period for 6m, then I would have one long heavy one for 2-3m straight. Then they discovered my left kidney is down in my uterus area, not on the left side of my body like it should be. So my gynos for years told me they didn't think I'd be able to get pregnant very well, or sustain a baby with the kidney (something about as it grows, it may hinder growth, blah blah). Dec of 09 my doc was going to do a dye test to see where everything flows around the kidney to look at moving it, then I ended up pregnant when I went off b/c.

Ends up they were all wrong, I think Carson just pushed the kidney out of his way!

Anywho, Heather I wanted to wait till C was about 4 before having #2. Russ wanted #2 right away (like literally!).

I told him I'd compromise and we could plan for #2 when Carson turned 2.. then the more I thought and thought about it, I realized the closer they are together, the better chance (I know this doesn't guarantee anything!!) they will be GREAT FRIENDS when they grow up.

I know me and my brother (2 years apart) were best friends till my sister came along (6 years after me). And I've never been close with her, she's always been too young and immature to me. Russ' brothers are idiots, but they were all close growing up (all 1.5yr between each), and they both really look up to him and they get along and talk, etc. etc.. much unlike me and my siblings!

No going back now, I've been reading about how to introduce a new baby to a toddler, addressing the jealousy and it said 'many toddlers ask their parents to send the baby back'. OH DEAR.

It's thundering but not raining here, we need some rain though.

I LOVED GLEE LAST NIGHT!! And poor Rachel, her mom adopting another teenage pregnancy's girl is not going to make her feel better. The music was good last night, UNLIKE last week, I was so disappointed last week.

Here is a funny video Russ sent me, it's Sue doing some.. actually, I don't know what it's for, but it's pretty funny.. I love her character everytime she is on; I'm use to seeing her as a doctor or lawyer as cameos in tv shows, or the dean in L Word.

Same here...our Teacher of the Year was on the chopping block. Actaully, it would have been her getting laid off, but she has a supplemental degree and now she is teaching 8th gr. LA. If not for that degree, she would be laid off. It goes by district senority and No Child Left Behind mandates about being Highly Qualified to teach in your field!

Congratulations Laura!! Although February 11th is a much better day to be born.....my personal favorite!!

Well, off to get Gia. I was temping for a couple weeks and signed her up for the YMCA after-school program. The temp thing ended Monday after work, but I am letting Gia stay in the after-school care and I get more done at home. Tomorrow is their last day of school and Friday's care will be at the actual YMCA building so she can swim, etc. And I am having my last two days of peace and quiet........

Hello,

I still have the thank you notes in my purse, thanks for reminding me Haydee!!!! I also need to write a new thank you note for some flowers a customer brought me yesterday for my birthday!

I found the lottery tickets and got two more for Judy and Laura, and won $2. I am sorry I didn't give you the joy of scratching them off yourself, too cheap to foot the bill for the stamp if you kept getting a free ticket!!

So Laura can we call your baby Izzy? What was your babys name Haydee Juandee?

Okay I am going to finish Glee, although after reading the posts here I think know what happens and what I will hear!!!

Good morning, Violets..

Looks like it might be a nicer day today. It sure was rainy, dreary and very stormy yesterday. I have some ferns to plant and hope to get them in the ground today if the rains hold off.

Ethan arrives in a little bit and will be here until 6:30 tonight. Longgggggggg day, but hopefully we can get in the pool for a while this afternoon.

Off to update the countdown. I have to have extra time in my day for that task now.. :(

Everyone make it a good one!!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
