Good mornin, ya'll.
I hope you have a great road trip, Carla.
This is just a quick fly by. I made one doll outfit yesterday and began another. I need more dark brown seam binding tape for my Indian dress. Do I begin something else, then go to Han**** at 9:30, or putz around the house and then go? I do not like to be interrupted in the middle of something and I hate to begin one project without finishing the other.
Our son will be here for lunch today, so maybe I'll make his salad and unload the dishwasher and by then the fabric store will be open.
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

Hi Carla,
I know what you mean about the kids not wanting to sleep. My granddaughter was like that when I was in Michigan. She has to get up for preschool every morning, but cries all the time at bedtime.
Today, my son is taking a bus back to Pittsburgh. I had hoped to be heading back to Michigan by now, but not so. The baby is not here yet, and my daughter told me she really doesn't need me there till her husband has to go away again, which is next week.
I see my orthopedist to get the results of the MRI back. I am hoping it tells him something that can be fixed.
Hope everyone has a blessed day.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Good Morning all:
Carla, I feel your pain with taking care of young kids. They are fun but high maintainence. Have fun on your trips. Make sure you have a good cushion for all the driving. You don't have as much padding and the seat gets hard after awhile.
I haven't been up to much. Getting ready for wedding season. My niece and good friend are getting married memorial weekend. This weekend we are going to our nephews house to help him with his HUGE garden.
Have a great week everyone. Mona

Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!
Good morning my OFF sistas!
Yes, Carla, I feel your pain, too! Benny threw a temper tantrum this morning when he realized that Chris was leaving for work. Poor lil fella! Lots of adjustments to be made.
Busy, busy days for me right now. I'm a little worried about myself and my bad eating habits. I have caught myself finishing up little bites of breakfast and snacks that Benny leaves behind. OMG. NO! I can't slip back into that habit. Why do I feel this complusion not to throw food away? Why do I feel like I have to clean everybody's plate for them before I put it in the dishwasher?
At least I am aware of it. Now I have to figure out how to STOP it!
I'm reading all your posts and trying to keep up with everyone. Just not much computer time these days. If I'm playing WWF with you, don't give up on me! I haven't forgotten you!
Love you all!

Vickie: had to laugh about finishing off bites from others plates...bad habit! I know this is bad of me, but get a dog ( rescue dog from the shelter? Grateful for a new life?) and feed the leftovers to the dog who will be devoted to you as they all love human food tidbits....When I was married we had a dog who ate all my mistakes such as my chocolate souffle which did not rise and was a rubbery pancake,; when I dropped eggs from the carton as I took out of the fridge, I called him and he licked up the raw eggs on the floor, leaving only the shells....floor in front of fridge was cleanest in kitchen! ) When I used the mixmaster he could hear it through the open window if he was outside and would come roaring into the kitchen as he knew he could lick the beaters: whipped cream was his fave, but instant puddings and cake dough were great too. When we were snacking in front of TV he would want whatever we were eating as special treats..........you need just such a "helper" to finish off your plates...Result: you don't eat, and you have a dog in love with you....Besides, dogs love babies and are great babysitters...and kids love dogs..
Cats are good for this, too. But not the chocolate part. Poison for cats and dogs. My first two cats, Kittle and Cinnamon, used to eat the broccoli I didn't like, the peas I didn't like, etc., from frozen dinners. Diva, who I had right after my surgery, alway was willing to help me finish meals I couldn't. Juliette is a meat eater basically ... she loves ham and turkey and bacon and chicken.
Hi Eileen:
I have also been owned by cats, but for sheer volume of food treats, nothing beats a dog...I had a bad hit and run accident when I was 11 and spent over a year in hospital and at home, and my street cat ( he adopted us, was part Angorra so his fur was always a bit stragglly despite brushing) lived on my bed when I was convalescing at home, and would help me eat my cooked steak, and screwed up his nose to drink my bubbling fizzy coke out of a saucer, and loved cheese, and whipped cream and strawberries, and Digestive cookies ( ate more human food than any other cat I ever had before or after)...The only animals I don't warm up to are birds, fish and reptiles, although I had a turtle Jeffrey who was best friends with my cat Tibby...but Jeffrey ate lettuce leaves and Tibby only cooked liver, fish and potatoes mixed with spinach ( we lived in a country where there was no commercial pet food available, so our animals ate basically what we did in the way of protein and veg, just an extra serving cooked for them)..
Still think the grateful "rescue dog" for cleaning up plates and babysitting Benny, as they are on acreage at the lake, would be great as long as they are animal people....maybe a cat too to complete the menagerie..;-)
Am all for animals growing up with kids as the kids benefit from better immune systems, and kids learn to love animals....I was an only child and my mother made sure I always had an animal companion...(nobody had heard of allergies to animals in thise days and everyone smoked)...I had childhood asthma but figured it was from all the smoking everyone did as when away from my smoking parents ( I never did smoke, unusual for a smoking environement kid) when at university, I felt so much better, and yes, can honestly say I never did whacky tabacky...it gave me asthma just being around others who smoked! Now I am a rabid "non-smoking" advocate and feeling comfortable with all the smoke free venues life offers ....Animals are another thing: they are a lifelong commitment, and I would take meds to accommodate an animal giving me allergies! The companionship is so worth it, just like when I put up with my smoking parents even when I was an adult and knew it triggered my asthma.

Never smoked either ... Dad did and amazingly had a good heart but did have high blood pressure (back then, it wasn't attributed to his smoking, but it would be now, I'll bet). Died of kidney disease and colon cancer.
I was always sneezing growing up, but Mom said I had spring and fall colds ... uh, I think they're called allergies now. And after WLS, I developed mild asthma (figure that out!) Roomed with smokers in college, including one who had asthma. Both are nonsmokers now, thankfully.
I grew up with a dog, too, and I'm allergic to dogs instead of cats. Figure that one out. Oh well, I love all animals. My new chiro has a dog in the office ... cute little pooch, a cairn terrier she found at the pound.
BTW, mail's not here yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I get it.
