Hi, everyone. Went to the dr. today. Got a script for more cough medicine. Still a little crackling sound in the bottom portion of my left lung. She's ordered an ultrasound of my heart. Will know more once that has been done.
Hubby still sick with this darn pneumonia. The dr. said they've seen a spike of this respiratory stuff in the last month in our area. It was warm enough outside today to open the windows and air this house out. Tomorrow will also be nice and warm so I'll open them again. Trying to get rid of all the germs.
Well, the dog is crying -- either wants to go out or be fed.
That's it for me for today.
Hugs and kisses.

Hello Vickie....the fountain is beautiful!! I really like it a lot!!
Have a good evening...I am going to plan the same!
Love and more hugs....connie d
It's very cute. One of my high school friends has ponds and a little waterfall in her backyard. And she has spotlights and everything. It's so cool. I loved having a vegetable garden when I rented this house in South Dakota, and planted spring flowers, but I had a stupid guy who mowed my lawn and he chopped up my daffodils around the trees. He thought they were weeds. My only problem is I found I was allergic to the flowers, so I couldn't bring them in the house. Plus I was allergic to the lilac bushes, so when they were in bloom, I had to have the windows closed. Now I just keep all the windows closed and don't bother. I love the flowers but can't handle the pollen. Silk flowers for me, only.
Hi Yvonne,
I'm hoping to take a walk this evening, but don't know. It keeps clouding over and sprinkling a bit. Then it will clear up a little. If I go, I'll have to take the baby in the stroller and I don't want to get caught out with her if it starts to rain.
My craving for sweets is a monster that I don't seem to ever vanquish! Oh, it is a plague. Like I said earlier, if I eat just one bite, I'm done for. I have to fight it constantly.
Hope you have a good evening. I love to read. Although lately I seem to listen to audiobooks more than anything else. I just set the timer and fall asleep listening to the story.
Love you!
Vickie
Hi Ladies,
It's a warm day but is rainy. I thought I would get a walk in outside before it rain but didn't happen. Then it's supposed to get cold again.
At least I didn't gain any weight this week but the cravings for candy is overwhelming. Last night I finally gave in to two sugar free Popsicles. That seem to help. Today is better.
My friend is coming over for dinner. I made my cheesy chicken chili.
No Bible study tonight so I'm going to try to catch up on my reading.
Everyone have a good night. Thoughts and prayers for everyone.
Love and hugs,
Yvonne
Well, Carrie is gone, and not without a few tears on Mommy's part. It's her first separation from her baby and it was hard on her. But this is a good trial run for us. It's only for two nights. If things go as planned, Carrie will be gone three or four nights every week.
But I have Caralee all wrapped up tight and sleeping in a little rocker cradle here beside me at the computer. We're gonna be just fine, especially with Mom here to hold her every now and then when I need two hands to do something.
You know, I spent a lot of years as a married single mother. LOL! Yep, that's what I used to call it. Butch would be gone for weeks at a time and I would be home alone with the babies. It's not always easy. Carrie is going to have to be strong. I told her that. She has to be the mom and the bread winner. Not an easy task at all.
Got to show y'all my sweet little patio fountain I bought yesterday. I put it together this morning and it's just the cutest thing! I've always wanted a water feature in my yard, but this was way cheaper and easier to maintain.
My great-grandmother always said there was something wrong with a person who didn't like children or flowers. I guess I got her green thumb and her philosophy on life. Not a bad legacy to inherit.
So I've put off cleaning my bedroom carpet as long as I can. Damn dog. Do you know she went in there and peed AGAIN this morning? Try as I might to keep the bedroom door closed at all times, I'm not the only one living here, and sometimes we forget. I swear that door was open for maybe five minutes earlier, but that's all it took. #feduptomyeyeballs
Check back later!

Hi everyone,
Dropping in to say hi to all and I am thinking of you.
Had another dentist visit because of bone spur in gums. Life is kind of quiet here. One more month till my daughter's wedding and I fly up to Nashville. I haven't flown but once and thought I would freak out but I loved flying. That was twenty years ago.
Vicki, you will do fine with Caralee. Of course being a little nervous being alone with her is normal. Sorry about Maybelline acting out and having to leave. I would be very upset, but then she is an animal, so what can you do except do what you are doing.
I love, love your garden and fountain. It is coming along beautifully.
Eileen, take one day at a time, that is all we can do. Regarding finances there is never enough, is there? I want to work part time even though I am retired..because there is never enough. You will get through it somehow. And job stress sucks. Big time. Stressing about whether your job is stable, stressing about the job itself, it is all so sad.
Love you guys, all of you and wish you a wonderful day. Prayers for all who need them.
Take care.
Good morning Vickie and everyone...
Vickie....I am sure you will do just fine with Caralee. You have been with her since she was born. I give you a lot of credit for taking care of her on your own. Everything will go fine.
I am glad your plants are doing well.
I am doing awful with my eating...I am tired and worn down trying to fight this all the time. It is what it is!! I am sure you have the willpower and will get back on your plan right away.
Eileen...so sorry about your tooth. I can't afford caps so I have had to have some teeth pulled. I hate it but I just don't have enough money to do anything else. I hope you get it worked out.
Sorry too that work is so stressful for you right now. I can't imagine how hard that must be. Still praying for you.
As for me.... it is rainy and cold here today. 20 degree temp change from yesterday.
My cleaning fairy is sick today and won't be here. I will have to do a bit of dusting and I will wiped down the bathroom. It is clean here but I want to freshen it up.
Prayers for our special OFF Family and their families. Special prayers for those in need.
I will try to stop back in later if I can.
Lots of love and many hugs to all.....connie d
