What's Happening Tuesday

I have zucchini, broccoli and green beans to pick this evening.  I am tired of the lettuce & radishes...  When I weed the plants I leave the weeds I pull up around the plants to help hold moisture and cut down on the new ones coming up.

Pooh - prayers and hugs sent your way!!!

I need to mow so bad but its going to have to wait until it cools down a bit.

Dad got home from Florida last evening - he was so tired he slept the whole night in his recliner.  He even turned the a/c on with out me asking him to.  The house is cool until the sun gets low  then it seems like it just bakes it.  I am trying to get my laundry done early as we can't use the a/c in the great room with the dryer on.  What can I say it's an old house with a few quirks!

Got shaky and weak at work without lunch so I made myself eat a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter and an ounce of cheese and then had some OJ.  Felt better after that.  Sipping on a big glass of ice tea now...

 I go as long as I can without turning on the air. I am not making very long. I just hate the high power bills. When we moved here the company had not raised the rates in twenty years and in the past three it been raised three times. They are talking about a 1000 % increase over the next ten years. I won't be  able to afford that and no one else will either. Crazy to even think about it.

I missed being at the meeting last night. At the last minute our friends canceled and are supposed to come tonight. I had already cooked and almost had dinner ready. I am not cooking tonight. They just missed out. Their excuse was he got up at 5 and went fishing and was tired. DH is the one that invited them and he told them to come today. I am now hoping they do not come. I guess I am a mean old women but it kinda upset me.

I am having a problem with pork rinds again.  I cannot seem to stop snaking on them. I even made a special trip to the store to get them. They have control and I do not. I need help I guess. 

I am still in a stall and I thought the pork rinds were why but the whole bag only has 490 calories and it takes me almost two days to eat a bag. I am looking like a deflated balloon. I look terrible without clothes. I sure hope something tightens up at least some but I am scared it won't .

Try to sty cool.

Susie as long as the pork rinds arent taking the place of something you should eat i wouldnt worry,
they are full of protein....that is all they are besides fat but we need some fats too.  and if it takes two days to eatthem i would say you are doing alright actually   on the winkles tightening , fraid not. Nope...

Hey Susan and MO. Folks,
       I haven't been on for awhile so I thought I would check in. I'm doin ok , still having trouble with my weight loss. But I'm trying. Still at the same weight that I have been for a year now. My back is feeling a little better. I'm at least able to go for walks now. So I been doin that.Today was my 46th B-Day. I got a new swim suit and beach towel and beach bag. First time I have worn a swim suit in a very very long time. I am gonna get a membership at the aquatic center here in Kirksville. That should help me lose some more weight.
         My DIL went to the DR today and her and baby are both doin fine. It's another boy ,they are gonna name him  Mason Dale. She is gonna have a C-section the last week of August. I am going Thursday to get my other ywo grandsons and keeping them until July 11th. It should be alot of fun.
         Hope everyone are doin ok with this terrible heat. We thought our air was going out cuz it started squilling really loud the other day. But we shut it off for awhile and then turned it back on and it's been fine since then. I can't go with out my air. I'm spoiled. LOL
          Hey Shannon- I'll take some of those cherries if you end up with extras! I love cherries!!

         Well gotta Go. Take Care and God Bless All, Love Tammy V. 

Hello to everyone,
    Thought I would come on and say hello.  Thing are going on here ok at my house.  My husband is ok, just cant walk much and loses his balance frequently.  I am home all the time now and that is a big adjustment.  But as I told him, "He is my most important nursing patient I have ever taken care of"  and "I am his most important nurse"  Hows that for perspective.  They still wanted me to come in now and then and help out at work but I can not morally or ethically leave him out here in the country with no one around.  This is my job now.  I  am really kept busy too, with cutting 1 1/2 acres, have a garden, flowers (not like Jan thouugh) cook, clean, and all the jobs of housework plus groceries etc.  Needless to say I am busy.  I have been washing walls and cleaningclosets etc.

I take him to church each sunday, and we use the w.c to go into church etc  I try to get him out as much as he will go.  It is an effort but good for him.

We are going to try and go to Tennessee for a week in July for a family reunion.  Have not seen my brothers and sisters since 5 years ago, and they are all coming from Louisiana, Texas, Pa, Florida and us from Mo.  The central point was Tennessee.  Hope we get to go.

Glad to hear everyone is doing fine.  Pooh, you are in our prayers along with your mom.  Sugar, have a blessed trip.  I have always wanted to go on mission trip - dont know if I will ever havethe opportunity now - getting too old. 

Well, takecare.  Think of you all often!  Jan - enjoy the rest for a while.  Colette
