PARTY DAY!

OMG. It was a long day. A tiring day. But a good day.

My baby girl had such fun with her friends. Not all the family she invited (and who RSVP’d) showed up, but you know what? That’s life. We still had fun.

But I feel safe saying this here.

I AM SO GLAD THE PARTY IS OVER!

My anxiety leading up to it was off the chain, but then once…[Read more]

Yes…I get that feeling! I’m going to post in the Facebook group to remind folks that the forum is here! (That’s one of the reasons why I was initially hesitant to start a FB group. I thought it might kill the forums. I guess now I know my sense about that was probably right.)

As for me, Saturday was one of those days where I mostly vegged. I…[Read more]

You are so committed, Robin!

Yesterday was a great day for me. I went to church and we had a beautiful Reformation Sunday service. Afterward my church did Oktoberfest and I had a brat (no bun), sauerkraut and a little potato salad. From there, I basically hung out at home until it was time to take my daughter back to campus. The weather was super…[Read more]

Ok so your post was spooky because it’s EXACTLY what I’m experiencing. Things that would not have stressed me out before do now. Things that would have only been slightly stressful before are off the charts. Most days I want to hide in bed but unfortunately my job isn’t having that.

It’s a hard thing to explain to people and even though you…[Read more]

I’m sending you calming vibes, Maria. I know what that overwhelming stress can feel like. (((((HUGS)))))

Today is my daughter’s 16th birthday!

As such I have abandoned most attempts at scheduled eating (I usually live and die by my eating schedule).

We are going to PF Chang’s tonight. I am not terribly hungry so I may just have the lettuce wraps. They are mega high in sodium though so..I dunno.

Other than that I had a breakfast sandwich for…[Read more]

Today my sister and I are on our 2nd full day in Baltimore and I think we decided to just veg out!!  After all, there is nothing we HAVE to DO!!

It’s beautiful here and all, but I think rela ing is the word of the day!!

Mid-week sweep!

I’ve been so jealous of your Scotch Eggs. How’s the house coming along?

I never did mid-week sweep you!

How are you, Maria?

I need to make some Scotch Eggs. I just bought Jennie-O sausage so…hmmmmm…

Today has been an ok day so far. It was much cooler than I thought it would be, but that’s ok!

I took the bus again this morning. I didn’t hate it. 🙂 I get my car back tomorrow but this incident has me wondering if I should explore taking the bus. I need to sit down…[Read more]

We ended up having a really good dinner. We had DIY burrito bowls. It was so easy too! The only thing I really had to “cook” was the chicken breast. I also made salsa from my garden tomatoes. Sigh. That is the epitome of life satisfaction for me: making things from food I grew myself.

Saturday was a good day for me. My oldest daughter is home on break and we hung out. I got my tire fixed (someone hit my car and bent my rim). The rim was fixable. Later in the day I learned the tire is not so much. I was driving and the darn thing popped! Turns out it also had a huge nail in it. Bah!

I can’t remember my eats from yesterday but I…[Read more]

Morning!  Rough emotional day yesterday!  I hate being taken for granted or …. yeah, that!

anyway, kids were pretty good with a very moody, sassy 10yr Old in the mix!  Made scalloped potatoes for dinner…yum!  Funny how there are 5 people living here, 2 of which are children, but i’m Always alone! 😳

tomorrow my hubby and I will get out of th…[Read more]
