WELCOME TO THURSDAY YA'LL!!

Good am,

How are ya'll doing? How was your Wednesday? Mine was productive. I FINISHED MY BOOK! It was really great. I am excited to see what this author comes out with next. This book was really great in that it discusses food, the power it can have over us, books and the power they can have over us and people and the power we give them. Each chapter is named after candy!!! From beginning to end it has been an interesting turn of events and its all about searching within to find the strength we all have locked inside us with a twist of romance, determination, magic and truth. Seriously good read ya'll. "Sugar Queen" by Sarah Addison Allen I am few mounting from 21 days of it being late. :( But, it has totally been worth it! (I'd forgotten it was due) I got some To Do List items completed as well as broke some things down for a few people in my life. Not going to continue to be the fixer and peacemaker in situations that just do not change or progress for the better. Got in some nature time for reading while watching the buggas and friends play and then it was bath time, dinner time then bed time. I watched Ghost Hunters and conked out.

What's on the books for you Thursday? Returning my book to the library, getting some work out of the way, chores, possibly another errand, then I'm going to map out the holidays as best I can. This year is going to be different for a lot of reasons. I hope everyone has a great day. Its going to be 61 here and gorgeous. :)

Morning Kat -

It sounds like you're feeling better, I'm so glad to hear it!

Things here are pretty hysterical - moving to Tennessee two weeks from tomorrow and there is so much to do!  I'm starting to stress a little bit!

Work has been absolutely crazy - One of my people called out at the last minute for the Midnight shift, so I've been up since about 4AM trying to fill in the slack - At least I work from home and just tumble from the bed and on to the computer!

I'm a little nervous about my food (which is one of the reasons I'm trying to post it every day) - Sometimes I feel like I'm eating too much - don't get me wrong, I'm not sick and I don't feel any discomfort, but I'm having such a hard time with the volume, while trying to get in as  much protein and calories as I should - It's a struggle, but I know it's early days yet and it will eventually come easier (I hope!) -

Hope you all have a blessed day!

Hi Rhonda,

Yes, I am thanks. Hope you stick around the VA even though you are moving. :) Many of us are nervous about food intake. Its a good thing to see what others are doing. It helps to make more diverse decisions and learn new tips and tricks. All best!

Good morning, beautiful!

So glad you finished your book.  I think I may get it next time I go.  I have four books waiting on me now and I am 1/2 way thru one as well.  I need about 24 more hours in a day! 

Yesterday was interesting.  Went home at normal time and Steve and I cooked dinner together.  After that we settled in to watch Indiana Jones.  He fell asleep during it and I almost did...not as good as I had have hoped.  After that it was cleaning up from dinner and off to bed early. 

Today brings a bright new day.  I have gotten in a walk and have taken some things up in prayer.  I am having a lot of stress today but I am dealing the best that I can at the moment.  I am working only 1/2 day today and praying the rest of the day goes well.  I have an appointment out of town and then it is home and fixing dinner and doing some laundry.  Hopefully there will be some energy to sort thru some things and finish cleaning out the room we are going to use for the nursery...so it can become the nursery!  We will see how the stress goes and how I feel later today!

Love you much!

Hey Tammy,

I haven't decided if I want to see the new Indy movie or not. Its like Die Hard it wasn't necessary to mess up the trilogy. Just saying! So, without seeing it I cannot judge. Prayers are coming your way to help with what you are facing. I'm there with you for sure. Hope things went well this pm. Love ya.

Good morning sunshine, I am so glad you are feeling better and you got to finish your book. Yesterday was good day went to Wal-mart for some crazy  socks for the girls as today is crazy sock day. Took the girls to church  and came home and watched deal or no deal, got the girls ready for bed and off we went to dream land. Forgot the most important thing I did. I went to Ballys and worked out for 2 hours.

Today I am going to go for my 3 mile walk then go  shopping for a dress for a homecoming service at my Aunts' church in N.C. All my dresses are 18/ 20 s, and my pant suits are all bigger sizes too.. I haven't bought a dress for 3 years, so today I am going out to find one. I hate shopping for clothes as I hate trying them on. Tonight 2 of the girls have ball games, so I will most likely go see them play.
Have a beautiful day it's going to be a beautiful fall day.

Hey Tomygirl,

Good for you working out for 2 hours! Hope you've been successful in finding a dress today. Enjoy the games. All best!

Good morning Kat! Glad to read that you are feeling a bit better and glad that you got to finish your book. I have been wanting to pick up a few books, to help pass time in the evenings. Could you recommend a couple that you have read? Any suggestions would be awesome.

Today was lunch at school with Cameron. BIG MISTAKE. One bite and immediately felt it so it is back home and resting. Not sure how the rest of the day will pan out with eating but we shall see. For the rest of the day, it is more laundry, because we know it is NEVER done! Then I guess I will have to stop procrastinating and put all the laundry away. By that time, it will be time for Cam to get home from school, homework, and dinner for everyone, unless I can't eat and then it will be just for them. I'm trying to really enjoy these last few days of freedom before school starts. Oh & we will get in at least some walk time since it is going to be a great day to be outside.

Hope you have a great Thursday. Enjoy this beautiful fallness!
