I’ve always had a few irrational fears, some I’m even talking about in therapy; what if I failed in setting my kid up to succeed with supports? I have a negative Nelly train that will happily pull out my past as an example; today, my largest fears are health related & im so tired.

My goofy fear is down escalators; I don’t know where I got the…[Read more]

Naps are part of my everyday care care routine & im really trying the tub/early bed thing. I succeeded this night, mainly due to day camp week & exhausted.

I get my liquids in but not always food. Trying to learn a mechanical eating schedule & rebelling big time.

Two hour nap this afternoon at my husband’s urging. Today is my son’s big move in day. He and my DIL were up all night packing, getting ready for the movers today. We figure there will be a “please, please PLEASE come get Gabe out of our hair for just a little while!” phone call sometime tomorrow.

Today has been a somewhat crappy day and I can’t even tell you why. I woke up tired, I haven’t wanted to eat and I haven’t come close to getting my fluids in.

I did get my steps in, cuz that’s just what I do.

Breakfast/Lunch… part of a vanilla premier protein shake used as creamer in my coffee.

Dinner… leftovers

Early bedtime (if I didn’t…[Read more]

That works! Are they pretty?

Nope. Not gonna let you do that!

If it can’t be an hour, make it 15 minutes. If you can’t make it 15, make it 5. And do something for YOU, Blanche. Listen to a calming song as you go to bed. Have an extra splash of creamer in your coffee. Spritz yourself with some energizing body spray. Go write down several curse words toward your SIL about…[Read more]

Not in the cards for me today..  moving in day for my daughter and 3 munchkins.  So very tired and it’s only 2:10!!

Welll, I didn’t buy flowers, but I did acquire 2 plants from my daughters house!

I stopped by the store on my way home from my support group and they were having a sale on roses, making them the least expensive flowers there! 

(Is thankful nobody – especially @kperevosnik – didn’t call her out on skipping a day…originally this post said day 14 and it’s actually day 13!)

#Oops

I’m glad you had a good appointment with your surgeon! I think you got such a good report because you were really committed to those PT exercises (even when you didn’t feel like doing them). KUDOS!

Your meals sound yummy.

I have a similar bouquet!

Except they have almost all gone on to glory so I will be re-upping my flowers this evening!

I know, I know! I haven’t been posting lately. Things have been somewhat crazy.

I have my support group meeting in Temple today which means a big chunk of time will be taken up. A trip to Sam’s while I’m there. (it’s across the highway from my meeting and a trip to the Sam’s in Waco takes as much if not more time to get to than the drive to…[Read more]

Because I know you well I feel comfortable saying this…

Oxygen mask, Blanche. Put yours on first! <3

Well..  I tried , but busy configuring house for 4 extra people, and busy brain.  Rest did not happen.
