Sunday Check In

Good Morning!

How has your weekend been? Tell us about the snow!

My weekend has been very lazy! I stayed in my PJ's all day yesterday since I knew I was not going to be outside. I don't mind snow but the ice scares me.  If I would fall it would REALLY hurt !  I did really bad on my eating yesterday. I think I went into hibernation mode. I could not get enough and what I ate was not good for me.  I could tell I have been doing better with my eating because I did not feel well at all when I went to bed last night.  Since I have not had surgery I do not know about "dumping" but I think I had the Carb Coma going on!!!  Today I WILL make better choices and get more water in!!!!! 
As most may know my husband is a Fireman and had to work a 36 hour shift.  I am sooooo glad he is home today .  He really missed playing in the snow/ice with our son yesterday so he is making up for it today. 
Well, enough rambeling......Hope you have a great Sunday and stay warm!

Good morning all and happy Sunday!!!

Phyllis, I agree with your post that I'm more afraid of the ice than the snow.  Ice is covering my deck & stairs than lead to outside in order to take my little babies(4 legged) out this morning.  Made me so nervous but all is well.  The snow is/was a beautiful thing though.  Thank you Lord it doesn't happen everyday though....LOL.

My plans yesterday was to stay in my warm footed pajamas but that changed about mid day.  I work as a bookkeeper for a heating/air company.  My boss is a member of a club that needed help with their books so I volunteered to help out.  Well the W2's are due today and they weren't done as of yesterday.  So sweet little ole me showered and put layer & layer of clothes on and tr eked on down to the club to do these W2's.  I told my boss that come Monday I deserved an "at a girl" pat on my back from him!!!  Honestly, it wasn't so bad.  Wind made the cold more cold but was so pretty outside.

Today is gonna be another lazy day.  I've got chili on in the crock pot for dinner so the house smells yummy already.  Going to catch up on some reading and probably take a nap  later on. 

I hope everybody has a nice restful Sunday.

Good Morning Folks

I'm at work today and I want to thank you all for staying home yesterday. It made my day and job alot easier.  I hope you think twice before venturing out today.  Roads are still terrible. 
I managed not to eat myself to death yesterday. ( I seem to over eat when I work nights and weekends)  I am going to do my best to get all my water in.  I got my vits down have one more for tonight.

You all stay safe and cozy  at home and if you do have to go out BE CAREFUL and DRIVE SLOW

We are lucky and did not loose power just totally snowed in.
Lee loves to plow our road finally got the tractor running only to come back in and said the blade on the tractor just slids across the encrusted snow on the road.
Yesterday I was in survival mode making sure to keep the fire going just in case we lost power and washing clothes and cleaning ect and bringing wood in every hour.
The sun is shinning and we are safe and warm.

Good Morning Everyone!   

I got a lot of much needed rest and relaxation yesterday.  I caught up on correspondence via email and read most of the day.  I made brownies for my office and my DH co-workers for Monday and tried to shovel my walkway and drive.  I was able to get the walkway clear, but the ice was just too thick (1.5 inches) to get through in the drive.  It really felt good to get out and exercise outside yesterday.  Three years ago this would not have happened.

I did very well with my food yesterday and was able to get in all my fluids.  So I am planning another clean eating day for today.

I am putting together soup for tonight ( a little bit of this and that) and made my DH a modified pound cake.  Hopefully later this afternoon if the ice melts we will do some grocery shopping.  If not I will have to wait until after work one day this week.

I just finished all the bookkeeping work I brought home for the weekend and now have the rest of the day for myself.

We have no snow to play in, just lots of ice.    

Stay safe everyone and enjoy your Sunday.

Good Morning!

Sarah and I went on our requisite snow walk... it may be our last time for an NC snow so we'll make sure to make the most of it and get out for another one today. 

I made some yummy cottage cheese pancakes for breakfast and used the Hungry Jack sugar free syrup... mmmmm... sinfully delicious without any of the negative baggage. 

I'm going to start a roast in a little while. We'll do some chores around the house, some downsizing stuff and some laundry. Sarah and I'll go for another snow walk and then maybe we'll snuggle as we find a good movie to watch.
