Why is it that the smallest things can bring you much joy??? I’m a lover of flavored coffees and I use a Keurig at home. Do you know how hard it is to find k-cups with a variety of flavors in decaf??? I finally came across a site that had a big selection in decaf flavored coffees, BUT not in k-cups (ground bags). I took a chance to try some and…[Read more]

Okay, mid-week sweep. Pretty much going as planned. Planning and prepping breakfasts and lunches has really been beneficial. Being able to pack my lunches without any preparation everyday has made it less stressful and pretty much not straying to not so good food choices. My breakfasts, although tasty, don’t seem to be agreeing with my stomach. So…[Read more]

I finally felt as though I needed to do something for ME today!  I joined a diet bet, rejoined Weight Watcher’s and went for ab2+ mole walk!!!

i am tired and my knees hurt, but I am determined to keep it up!!

also found out this afternoon that my daughter is going to file for divorce.  It’s been a long road for her, but she’s done and wants t…[Read more]

I know that drained feeling all too well! Be kind to yourself and don’t overdo!

We’re still in recovery mode from all the stress. My husband is still employed! However, I think that he will be trying to get a transfer to the main location (about 2.5 hours from here, so the cleaning out and prepping the house to sell continues.)

This morning, I’m…[Read more]

Busy day. First church and then home to fix a nice lunch before my daughter had to head home. Then over to the house of the guy who shares my husband’s office. He had his big oak trees trimmed and we went over to get the limbs as their fireplace isn’t a wood burning one and ours is. So, we loaded all of the wood into the back of the pickup and…[Read more]

Thanks so much @nikki-massie!!! I received my packages yesterday and love everything. PB2 is one of my favorites (especially the one with chocolate) because I love peanut butter. The power crunch bars are delicious and mint chocolate flavor is another one of my favorites!!!

Grocery shopping done. Meals planned, some prep done (breakfast and lunch). Worked on my daily schedule for the week with the hope that it goes much smoother than last week.

Forgot to eat breakfast today, leftover veal and peppers (and a little linguini) for lunch, steak and baked potato for dinner.

My day consisted of a trip to the grocery store with my daughter and lunch downtown at my daughter in law’s favorite Mexican restaurant. It was an early birthday celebration (her birthday is Monday) I had a great time with the grand babies and had some good food. Now we’re watching TV and I think that I’m about to head to bed because I have a…[Read more]

Holy Cow! We just got back from my husband’s back injection to the news about his work.

At the location that we’ve been consolidated with, over 100 managers have been fired. At our location, two entire departments have been fired. We’ve been told that for today, my husband’s department is okay. He cautiously thinks that some, if not all, will be…[Read more]

Thanks @nikki-massie!!! I figured that out yesterday and have ordered them.

Today I am feeling a little less guilty, stressed, anxious and negative. In fact I started feeling a little better yesterday after I picked up my grandson and seeing his smiling face and the I love you’s and kisses from him. My son played hockey all through college and yeah, you’d think I’d be used to injuries (and still plays occasionally) and he…[Read more]

Yay @nikki-massie!!!!

Thanks @lissam124!!!

Thanks for checking in on me!! This week has really taken a toll on me. Needless to say, most of my plans weren’t accomplished. I did manage to make all of my dinners except the one on Tuesday (turkey meatball stroganoff). It’s ironic that I mentioned the curve ball above and it actually did happen in a big way. I’m still not quite over the guilt…[Read more]

My middle child (aka younger daughter) is coming to visit today through Sunday. She’ll keep me company tomorrow in the waiting room while my husband gets his back injection. Saturday, she and I are going to get up early and go to the zoo while it’s still relatively cool. As I was putting clean sheets on the bed and a freshly washed blanket and…[Read more]

Today has started somewhat slowly, but I’m starting to pick up speed a little bit. I ate something yesterday that didn’t sit well at all. (I have know idea what as I didn’t have anything new to eat) I didn’t sleep well at all. I’m cautiously thinking things are better today.

I’m making progress on cleaning out the house. As soon as I get the rest…[Read more]
