Tuesday Cafe

Unfortunately we cannot just call and ask for a different arrangement. By law as part of me being a foster parent I have to have the kids to a scheduled visitation.. Even if I am sick I have to arrange for someone to take them there for the visitation... Even if I have an appt somewhere else.. just how the state of MI works things for the foster children... So I have to go..

I will be leaving early and packing a big bag. The good news is that the office I have to go to is close to my inlaws house and I can go there if it gets really bad.. So I can stay there for most of the day if I need to..

I am so sorry you have to go out in this weather with those babies.

I almost forgot.
A flash lite and a battery operated radio. too.

Can you Hubby go with you? or is there someone els who can trave with you?
Or can you go to your inlaws today befor it gets too bad and then go there in the AM?

You keep us posted  Cause we will be worring for your safety?

Naa he has to work.. Driving in the snow doesnt actually bother me.. I should be fine... I drive slow and take my time it is all the other idiots out there that think since they have 4X4 and can drive 60 MPH is what gets me. LOL

My Inlaws are actually in Florida... I do not feel comfy going to stay there.. They are not 2 cribs there etc.. I would be totally out of my element.. I like my creature comforts.

Thanks for your concern though. I will definately check in tomorrow afterwards to let everyone know we survived the drive

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all staying safe and warm when you can.

This morning I had a hydrating CT scan.  I was given fluids for 2 hours, got the 5 minute scan, and fluid again for 2 more hours.  Apparently this is to protect the kidneys I guess.

I had a pulmonary function test scheduled for tomorrow but I postponed it until Friday.  It's in Pontiac and I'm in Warren so I was afraid of the driving.

It seems like all my regular doctors want to see me and check me out.  I'm getting tired of it.  Don't they know I really don't want to see a doctor or hospital for awhile?  haha

I need to figure out how to add vegetables to my diet.  So far it's only been cooked onions!  Does anyone else feel like it's a hassle to cook something when you know you can only eat two bites of it?

Has anyone seen the new Centrum vitamins that are supposedly a smaller tablet?  I've looked in a couple stores but haven't seen them yet.  I saw them advertised on TV..... so now you know my answer to whether I'm influenced by commercials.

Take care everyone.

Hi Sandi

Love the ticker.

I bought my Centrum (smaller size) from CVS.
they aren't that different. I still brake them in half to take.

Centrum also makes a chewable that is orange flavored. If you like that stuff.

How is ever thing else going.

And you can steam veggies by putting them in a sandwich bag and putting them in the microwave for a minute. (If you can tolerate microwave foods)

Or you can steam a few servings then freeze them in those little snack size zip locs

or add celery or mushroom or tomatoes or green peppers, carrots, green beans to stuff when you cook it.

You could try tomato juice, V8, salsa, carrot juice.
