Monday Roll Call
Good Morning friends!
Today is just another Monday around here. Got the kids off to school and I'll do some light cleaning and watering of the garden. At 3:30 I have to pick Jacob up at school for his nutritionist appointment at Delnor Hospital. I hope that she/he can help us get him on track. Yesterday was his 13th birthday, I don't have any more "kids" now they are teens! LOL We met his dad and his side of the family at Olive Garden for dinner yesterday and it was a great time. I love that we all can get along and enjoy the time together. After we got home from dinner Tyler, Jacob and I went for a 2 mile bike ride! yikes, my legs felt like rubber after that! LOL
Then I just lazed around and watched the Survivor Finale! yay, the guy I wanted to win, did!
Well that's it for me, have a wonderful day everyone!!

Sort of a busy different weekend for me.
Sat. morn got to meet Wendi and Monica at ABMC support meeting. They are both so skinny.
Got some good reinforcement to drive away my fears that I have about changes. The typed words are good but the spoken words in person add something to the process.
Sat. aft. Caputo's in Palatine. Almost had to throw down in the parking lot three times. Got some good veggies but not impressed by their meats. Picked up some duck and some hot sauce from the chinese store there. Picked up some steaks at Meijer in Rolling Meadows. Hamburger and chicken from Aldi on Sunday afternoon after a great service at Willow. Also picked up some pot stickers at ?KFS? for the Table on Sunday. Hard to think that a pot sticker or two and a small serving of veggies could one day be all I want for a meal.
Sun. church, grillin' and table.

Well, I had an awesome weekend. Went on retreat out beyond Rockford with the girls from church. We talked about Balance in our lives.
Staturday had a hardboiled egg for breakfast and realized I had no room for anything else. Tried to squeeze in a small amount of oatmeal after about 15 minutes realized this would be an all day process and threw it away. We did an Iron chef cook off for dinner. It was a riot but the secret ingredient was chocolate which limited the things I could eat as I get dumping syndrome very badly from sweets so I avoid. Needless to say what I did eat gave me indigestion so at 3 am I was up looking for my gas X. Sunday I stuck primarily to yogurt which is my go to food and fish for Sunday night so my tummy was much happier last night.
We also served each other by doing facials, manicures, pedicures and massages. In between the fun we told our stories of how God is working in our lives and how we all struggle in one way or another to find balance in our lives...we all know about that here.
I have a new favorite food. It is lt vanilla yogurt and sugar free jello mixed together about 1/4 C of each at a time for a sweet protien enfused treat.
I also finished the quilting on another baby quilt and tonight I will apply the binding after I cook some sausages for a breakfast sale at work. I'm just giving them my money as there is nothing I can eat. We are raising money for Relay for Life and so far have raised almost 2000 for the American Cancer Society. I sold beaded earrings for 5.00 a pair and raised 250.00.
Hope your all having as good a day as I am. Blessings to all of you.

Hello Everyone!
I am still at home. This darned stye is driving me nuts!
It is starting to weep today so maybe, just maybe, I am going to see it go away.
It is supposed to be a beautiful day. But it still has a ways to go before it warms up,.
Nicole, Congrats on losing so much!
Lisa, I didn't realize you were being layed off. Is that usual for the summer or is this permanent?
Janet, animals are just like kids. I dread what trouble mine will get into after I am home for 6 weeks with my knee. They love it when I am home.
No special plans for today. Hope everyone has a great day!
