Meg ... So sorry you're dealing with back pain!
Heather ... You post all the baby photos you want ... I love them. Your idea of gifts for everyone is very sweet ...
Kay ... Hope you feel better soon. Of course you would get ill when there is so much on your plate....
Wendy ... I love cabbage! Sorry it gave you some tummy trouble... I wanted to add the other day ... After you shared about your son ... That I have the highest admiration for moms like yourself that have nonverbal children. While I have significant caregiver duties ... Yours are on an entirely different level.
Margaret ... How are you doing?
Vicki ... You've had a lot going on ... Hashing it out with God is good. Enjoy the movie! I would like to see it, but will have to wait until it comes out on DVD so I can caption it.
Bad, bad food choices yesterday ... Surprise ... Stress eating at its worst. Today, however, is much better. Waiting on Doctor to confirm appointment date to review DHs test results. We've settled down about the report.
Beth near Buffalo ... Where it's 60 degrees today but supposed to snow on Friday!

I've heard if you put a pinch of baking soda in cabbage and/or beans - it is supposed to help with indigestion. I don't know for sure; I never think about it while cooking either.0

Thanks! Looking at your workout and wishing we could be workout partners. I don't have anyone to really workout with. Most of my friends are really into zumba, which is fun, but it is not weight lifting which is my love.0 -
Grits, what part of MS and LA? I grew up in Natchez, MS. Moved to LA for 10 years, now in AR. I really miss the crawfish.0

KJLaMore~ Yep I am the retired military wife :-) Spent two tours in Japan totaling 7 yrs, with my husband stationed 9 years(three tours). I am just a dependent, and used to follow my active duty Navy man around. They say if a military man should be married, they would have issued him one in his ditty bag! I think as long as I am on the phone with the Insurance company, and I use no "colorful metaphors" then I am doing good!

Vickil57~Thanks, sometimes I use Lamaze breathing when I am on the phone with the gals that sound 12 yrs old... Once a claim wasn't paid because the code on the visit was obesity related and Tricare wouldn't pay it. I said, "It was a new patient, introduction, Adult Wellness visit!" We talked about ALOT of things, obesity was ONE of many. I had to give my doctors office an EARFUL on that one. Change the code immediately whydontcha! Aaack.

Without thinking about it much, I typed "big breasts" into the search engine. I learned very quickly that I should have been more specific.

SugarDarlin ... I know what you meant to type ... But my tired brain switched the letters around and I thought you said she got a degree in Spinach!

I love the funny sentences that if you don't use the correction punctuation, it changes everything...
Let's eat Grandpa.
Let's eat, Grandpa.
Correct punctuation can save a person's life.
hahahaha....

Today I had a nice time at the TOPS meeting. I was a "turtle" (didn't lose or gain) which after dealing with my period is just hunky dory with me! Our group lost a combined total of 25 lbs, and gainers gained 6 lbs, so fairly awesome for the lot of us! I did the games, passed around some cards that need signed to send to people that has surgeries, illness's. The old guy (a Marine so we call him gunny), at the laundromat we go to, said it looked like I had lost some weight. My dear husband, getting change, yelled back at him saying, "Yep she surely has". Sweet eh? I was wearing my lightest clothes for the weigh-in which are my yoga pants, and my TOPS tee-shirt. We all have funny stories of "weighing our clothes" to find the lightest ones, and to take off ALL jewelry, pee, take our gum out, shoes off, pee...oh wait I already said that...

LOL I see what I typed now. She has a degree in Spanish. A Bible study group I was a part of hosted some international students for lunch one day. We noticed they were laughing. We asked our daughter what they were saying and she said they were talking about the way one of the ladies in my group laughs. They had no idea there was someone there that understood their language.0 -
Day 3 has been rough. The kids have been fine. Grandma has been grouchy. A direct response to NO SLEEP! Grandchilden #10 and #11 (ages 18 months and 2 1/2. They are exactly a year apart in age) decided that screaming and crying for mama and daddy would be a proper way to spend the time until about 1 am. *sigh* I can't really blame them, it's their first time away from both parents at the same time. I had to be up at 6:30 for Grandchildren #2 and #5 to be dropped off for the day so my sleep was about five hours long.. The day has gone okay but I'm just dragging....
Got everyone up. Breakfast. Had them make their beds and then we did an exercise video. It was a hoot watching them do it. They were all game for it. The little ones just wandered around us and imitated us. Then sent the older kids outside to play for a while and I picked up, started laundry. Lunch with my daughter and then we did school with the homeschooled two ( no problem, I homeschooled all my kids so this was the easy part of the day). We did math, reading and science. Went for a mile and a half walk pushing the two younger ones in a stroller and the older kids rode bikes and scooters. Now they are doing games and I'm trying to keep pens and pencils out of the little one's hands. Didn't realize I had so many stray writing utensils laying about. After dinner it will be baths, reading time (I'm reading them the book The Bronze Bow aloud) and then bed. BED! I can already feel it.
My husband is out of town so I'm on my own for a couple of days. He will be here this weekend. I have six for the next two days then the last three I only have the four. The older kids are a joy. I just have forgotten how busy little ones are when you have them all day long!
Better start dinner.0 -

Let your light shine out in the darkness Each one of us is a vital cog in an infinite universe.
We may not know our purpose, but each cog needs to be oiled and tended.

The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.
Strategy is stronger than willpower.
Stats for today:
16,000 steps
153 minutes of dog walking
60 minutes riding the exercise bike
2 minute plank
line dance class
Strong Lifts with dumbbells
sumo squats 5X5 @ 45 lbs
deadlift 5X5 @ 55 lbs
overhead press 5X5 @ 30 lbs

My word for 2016 is "alacrity"....I will greet all experiences in my life with cheerful readiness
