It's Tuesday

It's almost 1 am.   Another night of not sleeping.............I really hate that I am tired but can't seem to sleep.  

I watched part of the Democratic Convention and then turned and watching a documentary that I have seen before about 911 and also watching "John and Kate plus 8" on TLC.   I can't stand to watch commercials , so I ususally watch a couple shows at the same time.  I have watched the Conventions both parties since I was about 12 or so.........guess I like politics.........

Not much planned for today.  My boss comes back today after having a few days off so I should try to be at work on time.

The scale has finally started moving down again.  I had hit a plateau that seemed to last forever.

Hope everyone has a great day.......

hi barb! sorry you are not sleeping! michael was up most of the night too- so he spent it on the couch so as not to wake me!i didn't even know he was gone til the alarm went off at 5!!!
yesterday was long and today will be longer! tomorrow he has dr appts-two of them! so i need to make up 4.5 hours of tomorrows work hours- made up 1.5 yesterday and am going in early today for at least an hour.....funny thing is that i can tolerate it at other jobs but yesterday we were all complaining that our backs and shoulders hurt like heck and our eyes were exhausted!!! very tedious on the eyes-the handwriting we are trying to decipher is many days almost impossible--you might know from genealogy --the records i am working on at work are from the 1920's right now....ah well- sorry for the whine!

today is plasma day so nothing much fun in the plans...

nice cool morning here- almost chilly with the kitchen window open all nite!!!

i am having food issues at work again--too easy to graze...and sitting all day isn't helping! i feel like i am spreading in the derriere region ifyaknowwhatimean!

well-nothing exciting on my end so--
hugs and prayers.......

Hugs Margo,

That old handwriting is often pretty and swirly but hard to read.

Ever notice that men with sitting jobs don't seem to spread in the nether regions?

You have to remember to blink when doing tedious eye work.  Or at least that's whay my eye Dr. told me.
When I was first out of high school , I worked for the Bureau of Vital Statistics here in Nebr. and I remember the early birth records and the writing was so hard to read.  They started keeping records back about 1905 but they did have earlier records and we would have to search for records if someone came in and needed a birth certificate.  Was interesting at times but very hard of the eyes and that was when my eyes were young.

I know about grazing people brought brownies at work today and they put them on a table right in front of my desk..........kind of like they want me to fail at the wieght loss I think.  I ate two of them toady...........and then I stopped............I started drinking water everytime I looked at them. 

Barb

Hi Barb and Everyone,

I'm sorry to hear you are having sleep problems.  I've done that before and it sure makes for a very long night and an even longer day.  Yikes......

I think my scale has taken a small jump down, too.  I don't want to jinx it by talking about it but I'm glad yours is moving.  My plateau was about 5 weeks long and I had just about decided the scale was there to stay.  We'll see how long it takes for it to move again.  Anything worth having is worth the wait.

It's hard to believe this is the last week in August.  The temperatures are a bit warmer this week around here.  I've been tolerating the heat so much more easily than I ever have before.  I'm very grateful for that.  I didn't realize it until my friend was complaining about the heat and I hadn't noticed.  That's a real change for me.

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

Hugs,

Kathi

 

Good morning, Barb. Thanks so much for getting started this morning. It is one of my favorite things in the morning~and there isn't much that I look forward to in the mornings. lol

Nothing much going on here today. I thought that I had a appointment with the wls nurse but that ends up being tomorrow afternoon and so that put a monkey wrench in my plans let me tell ya!

I was suppose to be visiting with the shut ins at the church on tomorrow afternoon. Now we are going in the morning to visit and give communion to the nursing home ladies in the morning. Then we are going to do the shut in visitation on Friday afternoon. Boy, Fern and I had to work to figure out how we were going to get this fixed. I guess that is what I get for not double and triple checking my calendar. lol But thank God it got figured out. Just goes to show you where there is a will there is a way.
So today is just a stay at home day and do some stuff around here. I keep planning on doing the house work around here and it never seems to get done as planned. But today is going to be another story and it IS going to get worked on today. One way or another. And I guess the only way it is going to get done is for me to start it and do it!

I had lunch with my sister yesterday. We had a nice time together. We sat and talked for quite a while and it was good. That isn't always the way it goes. I usually just can't wait to get away from her. lol We usually never see the things the same way and yesterday we kind of put that aside and went to things that that made no difference. So that is not a good thing it was a great thing. At least when I dropped her off at her house we left on a good note. That isn't always the way it is for me. I usually leave her not being able to wait for the parting. I don't like that feeling since she is the only sibling I have. I keep thinking that her's and my blood are the only ones on this earth that are the same~half mom's and half dad's. No one else on this earth carry that.

I am sitting her thinking that something is really smelling good since someone is making something. My gosh~I want some of it what it is. Every once in a while I get a strong whiff of it and geeze it is sooooo good smelling.

I have to finish up the evaluation for the church today. I am going to take it to the office in the morning on my way to Fern's. It has to be into the district office by the 1st and Pastor is going to be in the office in the morning so that is the perfect time for him to sign it because I won't see him before it needs to get in the mail. Fern has to sign it too since she is Lay Leader. I figured that I would make the envelope out and get the stamp on it and ready for the thing to be put in the mail. I am so glad that thing is going to a memory soon. lol I am soooo tired of it I can't stand it. I am more than ready to put it behind me for this year.

I better get going. I am sending love and big hugs to all. Prayers are going up for everyone with special ones for those in need of them. Have a wonderful day and remember to bloom where you are since that is where God wants us right now.

Good morning all,
The last 3 days have been very stressful in my family.  My daughter and SIL decided to separate Friday night. It was my daughters wishes. Their marriage has been deteriorating for quite a long time. To make a very long story short, they will attempt marital counseling and he is going to individual conuseling. My daughter is a strong woman and she will be fine, it's like a huge weight has been lifted from her shoulders. But I am mostly concerned for my sweet little granddaughters. Thye are so young and dont; understand.  We plan to just stay neutral and love them all while they work through this.  I may not post much until things settle down some.

I lost 2 pounds since Saturday due to too little sleep and too little food, definately not the way to do it.  Before i would stuff my feeings and overeat now I am finding I can;t eat when i am upset.  go figure!  I need to find the happy medium.

Please keep us all in your prayers, hugs, Paulette

Paulette,

I am sorry you and your family are going through this....you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I never dreamed how hard it would be to watch my children go through the tough times...so much harder than going through them myself....
I know your heart must be hurting so...

Cheryl

Cheryl, thank you so much for your kind words. My husband & I celebrated our 32nd anniversary this year. My daughter & husband are going on their 9th, if they make it. He says he will do anything  to make it work she isn't buying it yet, as it has all been said and done before, temporarily. But she did agree to go to marital counseling. so time will tell, I know my daughter will be fine either way as she is a strong woman with a strong faith in God, it's the granddaughters I am worrying most about because they are so young. And I want my SIL to be ok too for my granddaughters sake..

Today I am taking care of me and the girls,
 Paulette

Paulette, I'm so sorry for the problems you are experiencing right now......marital problems within the family don't just involve the couple, it seems everyone
shares in it. I'll keep your family in my prayers.

Take care of yourself girl.....

Hugs,
Pat R.
