Checking IN...
Hey Gang! Figured I better check in.
Let's see...mixed bag these past few days.
Downside... still feeling puny...upside... Christina came for a visit on Sunday!
Downside... our attempts to make homemade tomato sauce & tomato paste turned out NOTHING like the store-bought stuff...upside...it's still edible & we're having it for dinner tonight!!
Downside...as of 3 pm yestereday (Sun, Aug 10th) I finished my last ciggarette...upside...in spite of the cravings & the desire to jump in the car & RACE to the store, I have NOT given in to temptation. Instead, every time I feel the urge, I just repeat over & over in my head, "I quit! I quit! I quit !" So far that SEEMS to be helping.
Downside...Mike will NOT have a job after Aug 15th....upside...Tam's niece's baby blanket is about half done!!
Well, that's about it for now. I quit! I quit!! I QUIT!!!! Sorry...felt the urge again. Oh boy.

Sweetie keep up the good work and I am proud of you. I know that you can quit and it will help to put a piece of sugar free gum in your mouth. Believe me I know I quit back in 1999 and have not had one since and feel so much better. Have you gone back to the doctor yet to see what they can do to help you?
Just to let you know I got a call today about my dad and it seems that he is losing weight really bad he is down to99lbs and they are going to start the tube feeding again. I do not feel that he will be here much longer but he has lived a good life. Just keep us in your prayers and I will keep you in mine.
Love you like a sister.

I'm so glad I came out to see you yesterday...you and your family are such a blessing to me! The sauce should still be good....though it looks weird. :-)
You can do this!!! Quitting has so many positives...just keep those in mind too.
I love ya .....will try to keep in touch while I'm in Montana...keep asking Nino if he's heard from me...I just don't know what the cell/internet situation will be while we're out in the sticks.
