WHATS HAPPENING WEDNESDAY

Hi all.....im just sort of down for some reason .who know why....maybe nuts .

Did it rain where you were yesterday? We had over 2 inches... oh well the ground needed it. before the rain  I was walking around the yard looking at my flowers. Wow I have a lot coming up and growing. Hostas are about 2 to 3 inches tall and starting t unfurl...lillies are coming up. Tulips are about ready to bloom , rose of Sharon are getting leaves on them. Lilacs are loaded with buds. Tomorrow I need to get the roses, and bushes all fertilized...Joe and Andy are  going to get the garden fence up I think...then as soon as the ground dries out some we can start planting cool weather plants.  Like peas, cabbage, etc...i cant wait for some of the  plants to start growing and being  able to eat fresh veggies. And as expensive as things are now it will be good.

 

My back and knees are doing double duty with pain; this damp weather doesn’t help them at all. But oh well I guess I will live even if I don’t think I will at times...

 

 

Hi Dee:::: good to see you posting again, sounds like you have had a lot going on ...a lot... that was scary about your mom , so glad that she is doing better. I know it has to be aggravating to not be able to get the school to listen to you....just hang in there and keep pushing on...

 

JEANINE::: GREAT  to see you on too...we will be so glad when your life settles down some and I bet your hubby will be too. How is your mother? I know that you don’t begrudge taking care of your mother but you really need to take care of Jeanine too.

You are such a care taker that you don’t feel like that is even an option but it is.  I hope you are getting in your protein daily and all your vits. .

 

 

SUSIE::::: you are really looking good , I knew I would be able to see the difference  everyone else can always see it more than we can....you need to take a picture that you have of you and put your latest pic , next to it....is a great way to be able to see what others are seeing.

 

LYNETTE:::: have been thinking about you a lot about the amount of protein  that you are getting in now. Email me and I will send you a couple of ideas ...

You have lost a lot and looking really good.

 

SUSIE:::::: good work on the walking ...Andy isn’t letting you get by without it is he lol

That is great.   You cn already see the amount you have lost....

 

 

LANA::::: was really good to see you.

 

LOU:::::: YOU and your mom are always so refreshing to see you all together

 

SANDY:::::: sure would love to have you at a support meeting... you have the sole of a gardener....and one of the good people lol ....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good Morning Mimi...

Can you believe they are calling for snow possibly Saturday!  I will be out there covering some things up!!!

Monday we hauled 2 dump truck loads of lime and put some on the garden and then dumped a pile to put around the house....  I drove that dump truck all day long and was a happy camper! I had room all over the place!!!  Yippee!!!  IT FELT GOOD! but then when I put on the "compression" shorts it brings me right back to reality!!! ~tee hee jiggle jiggle jiggle every place the shorts AREN'T ~ha  Hey I got it! I need a "compression" whole body suit! Oh DEAR! Breath Becky Breath! ~ha 

Then we got the potatoes and peas planted... we dug a trench for the potatoes and put straw down in the bottom then the potatoes and then dirt over the top... will be fun to see how they do?  The sugar snap peas are in as well.

In the past I have stood on the plow to get it to turn the dirt over deeper... how embarassing is this? But this year at 90 lbs less Paul said I was just a not good counterweight any more!!!!  OH GLORY!!!!  He will have to step on it himself and I'll drive the tractor!!!! Gotta love this farm life!

Oh boy do I wish I had some lilac bushes!  I dearly love those!  I used to have two great big ones... so much enjoyment from them in the spring... even had them bloom more than once a couple of times. I would also like some peony bushes too.

I have so many projects I want to get done... don't know how much of it I will get to, but sure don't lack for things to do that's for sure!

Mimi~ I am so sorry you are in so much pain and not feeling well... I will be praying you are back on top real soon.

Sandy ~ Would love to see you when you come thru again... will have to check my schedule... seems something is going on about then...?  Maybe Peggy's sale?  will just have to look and see?  I love hearing about your garden!  I'm hoping to get my mineral tubs washed up and on the patio for planting when it's the right time... have some touch up painting to do on some of my grape planters as well...

Jeanine~IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU POST!!! Am praying your mom will be better soon and you will be able to get back home!  Hang in there. Also know that we all have gotten down and it's ok.  You just do what you have to and know we will be so happy to hear from you when you can be with us.

Susan and Andy ~ so glad you both are doing well... Susan I'm like the others, so proud of you!  Keep up the good work!

Marilyn ~ I think there is another support group, a more informal one at the Healthy Habits at a different time of the month. They mentioned something about it at Dr.H's meeting... you could call there and ask.

Well... gotta go get ready for the day... protein shake is all drank and now have to get ready to go to town with Jo.

Blessings to all,

Bec

Been missing for nearly a week now. My MIL was in the hospital since last Thursday. She is 89. She has chronic illus. (it is like your small intestine is asleep) She had a UTI and it is one of the things that cause it. She is fine now and back in the nursing home. She hasn't walked for a little over a year now and she showed some promise to work on that again. So, it's back to PT again.

"Baby" and I are doing fine. Susan, thanks for asking. She loves the walks but, haven't done any with her since MIL has been in the hospital. Right now just staying with her and making up time. She is like glue right now. Doesn't let me out of her sight, she is now going to the bathroom with me now..LOL

Hugs and prayers to all.

i worked yesterday and had two tax clients last night so when the phone rang  this morning I didn't answer it. I know I should have, I am bad. I could use the money. I need to hit the thrift stores again. I am having so much fun shopping at these stores. I get such a good feeling to find something cute for two or three dollars. I even found a pair of crocs at one store for four dollars.

I am officially in a stall now. Its been two weeks with no movement except for the three pounds that fluctuate daily. I hate stalls. I have to keep losing because I have been buying smaller sizes  every time I shop. I buy one that fts and two that are to small. I really do not have that much that fits right now. Most of my stuff will be better in ten more pounds. I just have to figure how to get those ten pounds off. I started eating some carbs. Most days I do not eat any starches, breads or high fat foods so maybe upping my calories will help. I am not upping much, just a slice of bread and a bite or two of potato or rice.I figure my activity will jump a lot next week. I know I will be doing a lot of walking.
All the flowers sound so pretty, I have a few bulbs coming up but daffidils are all I have blooming now. I can't wait to plant my seeds. I am planning to start some inside so by Mothers day they will be big enough to move outside and start blooming. Our fruit trees are blooming so I know that means no fruit this year.
Have a wonderful day.

SUSIE!!!!!!! bread and potatoes ARE STARCHES AND ONLY STARCHES.....AND THEY TURN TO SUGAR ALMOST IMEDIATLY..   for your calories eat more meat and green veggies....read the post i put under your doctor post....hope this helps....

YAY! I'm off the next 4 days from taxes, now I have to get cought up on my real estate.  I have a new listing I'm holding open this Sunday and I'm listing a new house on Friday.  So real estate is picking up rock on!  I have 4 lbs to get to my -100!  I'm determined to make it.  :O   I'm waiting for Frank to get the burgers of the grill, I hope everyone has a great night!  Lou ;)

Posted a update on mom on Corrines thread, sorry all just ran outta time. Love you all

BIG HUGS!!
