Barbara: (((Hugs))) on both counts. I feel for Joe. Mother was toxic to me! I loved her dearly, but I had to distance myself from her to survive, and to deal with her animosity by reminding myself that she had a hard life. I learnt to refuse to let others define and shape my opinion of myself, and my place in the world.
Heather: We don't have to love our parents if they didn't treat us right and we don't owe them anything. It can take a long time to realise this. Understanding of, and compassion for mother brought peace to me, and forgiveness, but didn't lead to reconciliation. We can only change ourselves not others.
That's enough philosophical introspection for one day. Lol!
Rebecca: 😍 Athena 😍 So bright and beautiful.
🌻 May joy and peace suffuse your day 🌻

Slept a lot over the weekend ...
8.5 hours on Friday night + 2 hours Saturday afternoon + 10 hours Saturday night ... and I even got about 7 hours and 20 minutes last night!!
Still tired.
I could easily sleep 9-10 hours a night for several weeks.
I don't know what happened Friday night but it was like an explosion went off in the left side of my mouth. So sore. I've made an appointment with the dentist this coming Friday morning. I sort of suspect that I might have a vertical fracture in a tooth (caused by grinding my teeth at night) and it has become infected.
I've got a broken tooth on the right side, but it isn't bothering me very much.
Monday
Pilates
Walking
Work
Laundry
And now homework!
At work I'm counting. Literally that. Counting ... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ....
I need to submit fixed length files, which I did, but they've been rejected because the length is incorrect.
So ... wading through specifications and code making sure each and every item is correct and is the correct length.
Each row ends up being somewhere between about 1000 and 2000 characters, so it's a bit of a challenge.
Fingers crossed I'm getting closer to success!!

Rebecca - Love that smile, on both of them! Definitely related! :laugh:
Okie - The dress is really just for a laugh, so, like you, I don't want to spend much. I'll only wear it for my birthday dinner with my tiara and sash. I don't want to expose too much of my wrinkly flesh! I look much better covered up. This one has a small cap sleeve and the chest is covered. It's also full length, but not over long. Some of them drape all over the floor. Well, it arrives today, so we will see. It's Prime, so easy enough, if a drag, to return.
Kate - My original one was from Amazon, very cheap. This one is also from Amazon, they have loads of different ones. It's a bit more expensive and may be slighter bigger. I just put in 'backpack handbag for women'. I hope the insert will sort out the major problem of the phone and keys getting dislodged. I like the extra strap for carrying over the shoulder, and the top handle for a quick grab. It is secure because the opening faces your back. Mine are black and look quite smart. I walk such a lot and it makes a big difference having it on your back.
Much love, Heather UK xxxxxxx3 -
Rori sounds like a fun sushi date and happy that you’ve got your brother coming for a visit to look forward to
Rebecca. Athena Rose is precious
Barbara. ((( )))
Loads to do in the back yard today, I don’t have lisa’s vertical climb but will take the calorie burn any way I can. Also, planned a bbq with DH’s side of the family for this coming Sunday. I will try to take it easy and joy get worked up about it.

Good morning all! Happy Monday! I had a good weekend; but didn't get as much prep done for my "Farm Week". I had a family reunion yesterday afternoon and stayed for about three and a half hours. I was home by 4:30pm and had set some chicken to marinate in the fridge that morning, so all I had to do was throw it on the grill. So, by 5 pm we had chicken shwarma, rice, inside out egg rolls and broccoli for dinner. It was yummy and easy! (The rice and inside out egg roll were leftovers). Then, at about 6pm I just wandered down the hall and flopped onto my bed, as I had just realized how tired I was; and I fell asleep! 6pm! Legs hanging off the side of the bed, upper body laying diagonal. Tim woke me up at 7:30 and asked me if I was okay. I think I mumbled that I was so tired, so he tucked me in right and I slept until 5 this morning! HOly cow! Eleven hours! Anyway, I woke up feeling much better and got today's Farm activities all set up. I don't have Trentin at all in the evenings this week, so that will give me time to get the rest of the week prepped and get some other small things done. I will have him on the weekend from 5am-8pm both days. I plan to spend a good part of each day at the beach/parks. Play days for me and him.
Mia- Hello! Good to hear from you! I am sure you will get those pesky few pounds off again, and you will feel much better for it.
Barbie- I got a giggle at your "freedoms" you enjoy when Jake is out with friends. I am the same way. Having the house/tv to myself for a while is like a mini vacation and feels almost luxurious!
Rebecca- Look at that Athena! She just lights up when she smiles! Adorable!
Heather- Wow! Another great family photo! You are going to need more wall space, if this keeps up! lol Great photo of you all!
Michele- Did you have your bbq this weekend? How did it go? and YES! Those Chris Ferrie science books for babies (like Quantum Physics) are fantastic! If anyone laughs or says that they are "too advanced" you just remind them that it is simply de-mystifying the concept/language of science. I honestly think those things are the reason so many kids struggle with math and science. By the time they are introduced to it, it is like learning in a foreign language.
Janet- I adore that pic of Flash and Haven! You should put together a children's book based on their mutual admiration. Llamas are really popular right now!
Pip- Old injury; but OUCH! I am sure you have learned your lesson and have stopped wrestling with Kirby!
Ah, my comment to Michele above, just reminded me of a show that my kids love. It is called Numberblocks. I came across it recently on Youtube. It is a series of BBC videos for kids. Animated "number blocks" that go on counting/math adventures. My four year old boys are eating this up! They are all short episodes (about 10-15 minutes). We usually watch one or two during our afternoon snack. Just putting that out there, in case you have any preschoolers. Seriously the BEST counting/math show I have seen yet!
Well, I keep losing my train of thought as I have a four year old already here and he is talking my ear off about what he did this weekend! lol Love and hugs to all! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)7 -
Good morning ladies! It's Monday here!
I got up early with windows open and fans going, getting a good breeze coming through to cool the place a bit. 90 again today and tomorrow. Not bad though, at least it's not 100.
Getting up 2 or 3 hours before DH is the best part of my day. Like Barbie, I enjoy having time to myself. I don't do anything "noisy" - no TV or radio. I check in with you ladies here, do quiet cleaning in the kitchen, plan my week, get one of the dogs fed and walked. Get out the "big" flashlight and survey the back yard to check for deer or whatever else is roaming out there. Maybe read. Get my batteries charged.
RVRita - New Mexico is now on my bucket list. Sounds like you have picked the perfect spot! Are you planning to stay there for the foreseeable future?
Heather - please make sure to post a photo of yourself in your sparkly dress. Backpack handbag sounds perfect! When do you leave for your cruise?
JanetR - that photo of Flash & Haven was terrific. Thanks for sharing, that also brought back memories. One of our llamas had markings similar to Haven.
Ginny in OH - my heart leaped into my throat hearing about your grand-nephew hitting those angus at night. So very glad HE wasn't hurt. Sad situation for all, the farmer not only lost his cattle but will have nightmares about the person hitting them being critically injured or worse. Way to go with the shopping at Kohl's. High-waisted jeans are my favorite as well and sometimes finding a pair that fit are a challenge.
Mia - welcome back! You were missed!
Rori - so happy to hear about lunch with your new friend. What a lift to find someone like that. Enjoy your brother's visit, bet he can't wait to see you and DH.
Barbara AHMOD - (HUGS) I can understand Joe taking this hard. My DH much prefers our dogs over any of his relatives.
Lisa - way to go on being more active and accomplishing so many things, whew. All those steps! Crossing fingers you can find some pain relief that won't give you mouth sores.
Pip - that looks painful. Is it still?
Beth - I was wondering about your produce box. Certainly does push us to eat better with all of those veggies staring us in the face, lol.
I'm afraid my weekly produce box is no longer. Had a long chat with the "farmer" yesterday. She said she had crop failures this year. Last year I'd walk by her booth at the farmer's market and it was one of the best, she even had oyster mushrooms.
The last box I got from her a couple weeks ago - half of the stuff was not even edible, way past its prime. I emailed her and asked for a refund on my remaining weeks or some alternative (if she didn't have the money I noticed she also had, according to her webpage, organic poultry, etc.)
So she called yesterday, and offered the refund. Said she was having a hard time and had taken on too many customers based on last year's great garden - we all prepaid so she was obligated to come up with something every week.
She did the right thing. I emailed her my address and hope the refund check arrives in good time.
OK I need to get moving. Make it a wonderful day, ladies!!

M – I’m excited to see your webpage. What size trains would you consider? Vince has mostly O gauge. Your picture looks like HO, is it?
The website will be a regeneration/recreation of my cycling site. I coded it entirely in HTML but it got away from me and I had trouble keeping it up. So I've taken it down and have started working with Wordpress.
I also hope to be able to use my new Wordpress site to do up my final project for my current class.
M in Oz
I've got a home page up. It doesn't link anywhere yet (the Read More buttons don't work), but I wanted to start somewhere and it is a little bit of experimentation. Next I'll be attempting to create a menu so it can link to other things and so I can develop it further. If you're really curious, it's my name in lower case (machka) dot net.
OK, I really must work on a 1500 word description of my first assignment for uni.

Here is my dress. Just arrived! This was just a quick try on in the bedroom. Relieved it fits. Just a little snug on the waist, but nothing I can't breathe in for.
Pleased. It cost $43 US.

ohhh la la Heather looks fab...
waiting for the shoe to drop... not a happy camper4 -
Heather ~ Wowsers! That looks great and will be wonderful for the trip.

Allie ~ Hugs and Best Wishes! Maybe YOU should apply to zip recruiters. There is something out there for you and it will be better than you can imagine!
Carol in GA1 -
Heather - I also thought "Wowsers" even before I read Carol's comment.
Allie - if they are advertising your job, sounds like they are getting ready to lay you off? Or perhaps hiring a staffer to take some of the burden off you regarding the computer/insurance stuff? Should be an interesting day. Good luck!

Was surprised to see how much the garlic festival y El Paso shooter looked like identical twins.Weird (Daddy must have been a traveling salesmen)
Allie - Is fill out a few job forms for other companies just in case. Hopefully their just hiring someone to give you days off y work with you. I’d not eat out or anything save every cent you got to be sure.Put back anything you got for rent.
Heather -Wow pretty But looks itchy!
Going to try the Numberblocks today y see if they have it for JRs iPad .He has 5 Chris Ferrie Books cramming the knowledge in. Plus lol rather that than a book on poo 💩
Barb-Yes Cleaning still has mean done in! Tired rest today too.JR didn’t want afternoon nap yesterday either! I’m in a daze this morning. All that was left to do was my closet y hubby bathroom but he cleans it (not as good as I would but some coming off) y maybe scrub around sinks better,but waving the white flag 🏳. 2yr old plus age plus peri menopause did me in!
Exermom- Their recommending here that if you have open carry to do so.The one guy saved 1/4th the kids thanks to having his. Sad that we have to think that way anymore just because folks who shouldn’t still do. My Hubby won’t carry a gun or have one in the house especially with a 2yr old! Before that a teenager. My Uncle carries but my Dad can’t do to mental health (Uncle lives next door they shop together when they can). My Other Uncles carry y do the shopping now especially since Grandma slow moving y my Aunts in a wheel chair. No one on Hubby side carries can’t,(babies to eye issues diabetes) but at least their following the law many who aren’t end up being the problems. Having my Bio-Daughter heading to the Garlic Festival Area soon to live awhile is scary!
I’ve cut many ties with my Moms family (abusers) y Daughter only keeps contact with my family (but barely with my moms). Healthier that way.
Weight yo-going up but obvious water gain every time I eat enough salad 🥗 to become a rabbit 🐇 or horse 🐎 I hold on to every drop! Lol better than dehydration so not worried about it.I know it’s not fat so it’s not a big deal. Probably a sign my periods ending fingers crossed 🤞 but that means ovulation will behin a day after (body not giving me breaks or mercy anymore).
Had some cashew salad 🥗 with carrots 🥕 y guacamole before bed was delicious.Anyone who eats nuts give it a try yummy.

So much has been going on in my life the last six weeks. Some heart rending news involving one of my daughters that I just can't even put into words right now. I was totally blind sided and still trying to wrap my head around it. A week ago today repercussions from the actions hit hard and brought it all back to life again.
A week my 18 yo granddaughter, just graduated high school this year, told her parents she is pregnant. The boyfriend was supposed to be talking to my daughter and SIL this past weekend. The boyfriend lives in a different town, Friday morning he was t-boned driving a company work truck and was airlifted to Lubbock where my daughter and family live. He has 10 broken ribs, punctured lung, damaged kidney and spleen with internal bleeding. Saturday they had to give him blood, yesterday they took him into emergency surgery and had to remove his spleen. He's in Intensive Care and much pain. Below is a pic of the truck he was driving, rescue workers had to take the door off to get him out.
They are planning to be married when he is improved and I will be a great-grandma once more. Life has a way of throwing curve balls, we have to deal as best we can.
