Well, plans were all over the place today. After the Sibling Class at the hospital, we all went out and had some BBQ. Then we came home and did Saturday chores (weekly house cleaning). Afterwards, we decided to head over to enjoy the National Heritage Museum's Candelight Christmas!! That was amazing, they reenact the old western Christmas themes throughout their entire outside museum of old western houses, trains, depots, cowboy camps w/ horses, etc. We all enjoyed some western music played on guitars, banjos, violins, basses, etc. We were served hot chocolate, cookies and homemade kettle popcorn. After walking around the ranch for 3 hours, we finally stopped and visited Cowboy Santa for pictures and candy canes then headed home. Needless to say, I got my exercise at the ranch today
I'm exhausted and looking forward to decorating for Christmas tomorrow.
Be blessed everyone

@beagletracks Several years ago I went into hospital from Dec 10 to 5pm Dec 25 then back in after Christmas, surgery Jan 29 and finally home Feb 6. While I was in there I did University work and Christmas prep including cards. That was the last year I did cards. I decided if it was up to me I didn't need to let it stress me.
@Bex953172 Have you tried holding a pillow on your tummy/ribs when you cough?
@OConnell5483 I've found that if I indulge in dairy I get bloaty. Sometimes it's just worth it though.

Well, we had a busy weekend leading into a busy week, hahaha It is nice to have our Christmas tree up and our decorations set up. Now I need to get all my mailing items together and out this week so they make it by Christmas! Plus........I have my baby anatomy scan this Thursday and we are praying the little one cooperates so we can determine the gender 
Other than that, I have one little negative event looming on Friday and I'm going to do my best to NOT get depressed about: My pap came back irregular and I have a suspicious lesion on my cervix so they are biopsying it Friday to determine if it is worth worrying over (If ya get my meaning; I refuse to insert the word we are all thinking, I just want positive thinking
) So those of you whom pray, I'd love to be on the list of prayer sometime this week, I would greatly appreciate the positive "vibes."
I sure hope everyone has a good start to their week today! 3 -

I don’t pray but you’re in my thoughts for Friday!
It will probably be nothing to worry about!
And I can’t wait for your anatomy scan!
I found out today my eldest is playing an angel in the nativity 4 -
I hate paying rent sometimes.
If we misjudge it we just end up in the *kitten*.
I’m so hungry.
I’ve been surviving mostly on ryvitas as snacks and very basic food. Making sure my kids and partner get the best.
I’m having just about enough to be okay for me and baby but my god I’m just so hungry. My chocolate craving is through the roof and I just had to spend my last 4 quid on milk butter and bread. Couldn’t even get cheese on top of that too!
But at least I have base ingredients to be able to make things in the house.
Get paid again on Thursday so we can go food shopping again!4 -

I missed the winter market! Dang it. It was on my list to do. And I had wanted to go to the theater to see White Christmas too, but husband didn't want to go. Was it wonderful to watch on the big screen??? You do such fun things! I love reading your weekend posts! 3 -
@OConnell5483 I've found that if I indulge in dairy I get bloaty. Sometimes it's just worth it though.
I wonder if that could be the problem? I don't drink milk, but I do love cheese!1 -

I'm so glad you are okay! I've taken a few diggers on my backside on the ice and man, that hurts! Almost like a whiplash feeling the 2nd day, so make sure you take some ibuprofen or anti-inflammatory and ice!!!
I'm with you about the sad dog/sad me having to walk indoors. This is NOT my favorite time of year in Wisconsin!

Just for Monday
1. Stay in the green.
2. Added sugar <29 g
3. Carbs <75 g
4. Ten 8 oz glasses of water
5. Decorate sugar cookies tonight when I get home, and bake Peanut Butter and toffee bits cookies for Bake Sale at work.
6. Learn one new thing today at work.
7. Get 3 tasks done today at work so I can feel productive.
8. Hit my new step goal
9. Prep for tomorrow, tonight
10. Unplug one hour early to read and gratitude journal.
I cannot believe how much difference this new job has made in my life. I have been happy for almost 4 weeks now. Like reeeeeeeeeally happy! Yesterday was the first day in years that I had enough energy to get up, do Christmas baking, some laundry, watch the Packers game and then afterward to pick up one of my granddaughters and take her shopping. I then got home around 6:30, ate dinner, cleaned the kitchen, prepped my clothes, coffee and lunch for today and then watched The Walking Dead.
Normally, I would NEVER have had that much energy with all the hours I was putting in and the stress I was under.
My husband even commented on it, so I know it's not just me. I think maybe I'm getting back to being "me" again...
Woo Hoo!
Have a great day!4
not as much as I hoped
