I had a blended family in the 90s.

three of mine, one of his.

they're all grown up now, but can I still get IN on the free Valium deal?

Zanax works better. lol

Taking a break from organizing. I feel like I'm accomplishing something, one little bit at a time It annoys me a bit that I have to break the work up, used to be one of those that kept buzzing until done. but one does what one has to do.

crossing fingers that I might get this project done today.


Hope everyone's day has been going ok.

fin of all the ms problems I think this is the one thing that bugs me the most, I worked 28 hrs a day raising kids working cleaning, cooking then try to find a wee bit o time for me, har har har

i always gave 150 % in all i did, it was my nature and still is, which is why i knock my silly kiester out so much when I am down. I do too much, I can totally relate to what you are going through, this was my biggest WHINE in the begining WHY cant i do this anymore, it made no sense to me, and honestly somedays it still boggles me mind, like thats really hard to do,

it is also one of debs major complaints with I, not letting others in or helping, i guess, I just want to be who i was, which sucks

TK flair sis be careful plese enjoy fishing enjoy the sunrises and sunsets and on your return write me a perfect start to the day

Cayo your driving skills sound good enough for chicago driving so dont fret none glad all is well and animals are fed,

OHH VONN

GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE

Vonn - That must be some secret. LOL. I've been pacing around waiting to hear this wonderful secret of yours.

Frank - Thanks for the sweet compliment. That meant a lot to me. Yes, I'll tell you about the perfect day when I get back.

Good Lord, Kay! Yikes! I am glad you made it home. How did hubby do on the ride home? Have his knuckles turned back to flesh color or are they still white?

Sandy - You're right Xanax does work better. I take them before my MRI's and I could care less about anything. That would be the best time to tell me bad news. LOL.

Fin - A little bit at a time is perfect. Good job on pacing yourself. I am still learning how to do that and it is so hard.

Sandy, you'll love this one. I got a call this a.m. from SIL. She was in a bind and needed someone to watch my nephew (7) and my niece (6) for a couple of hours. DD17 was still sleeping as it was early and she had some work to do before going to work. So I volunteered to do it. I gathered up some canvas boards and my big bag of paints and such for an activity. These kids are not normal. They are extremely intelligent and bored intelligent kids spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E. Well, we painted and had a blast.

It took me a while to convince my niece that if she paints without putting on a old t-shirt she will ruin her pretty pink dress. LOL. But once she started she had so much fun. I gave her paint brushes as well as a wooden fork thing from a Chinese restaurant and she chose the colors. We put big blotches on the canvas and she took the fork thing and ran it through the colors. It turned out beautifully. The colors; gold, green, purple, and red, blended so well.

I often wonder what goes through their minds when I do projects like this with them.

Barb - I am so glad you are getting around better and that the pain has been downgraded from pain to uncomfortable. That is awesome! It's such a great feeling!

Renee - How are you doing? How's hubby? Still keeping you in my prayers.

I read him your post aloud (across the room)

you said a MOUTHFUL there, girl!

I had a couple of kids like that, and the only solution is to keep them busy, and keep their minds active.

an OUNCE of prevention is worth a POUND of cure with bright chitlins!



good job, TK.

cruddy news from the jungle, kiddies.

and a caveat... I need to learn to LISTEN to my own advice!

ya know how I'm always saying to people here to move SLOWLY?

well, I was hurrying this evening. (ooops!)

while prepping the bunny carrots and celery, I discovered that hubby had harvested a HUGE hand of Manzana bananas... and left them on my work table.

in today's heat, they were getting close to OVER-ripe.

gotta take care of those, PRONTO !!

and I hadn't yet fed the animals, but I thought, "Well, I'll just quickly process these into the dehydrator... just take a few minutes..."

whipped through 9 trays of slicing, and then hurried off to the bunnies' cages, 'cause it was dusk, and the light disappears QUICKLY in the tropics, because we're so near the equator.

I don't like to be outside after dark, 'cause there's THINGS out there, oooooga-boooooga, big ol' spiders and snakes and other scary stuff.

I was hurrying... and I accidentally stepped OFF the edge of the path, and wrenched my left ankle.

ow, ow, ow, ow, owie OUCH !!

luckily, I have a top-notch first aid kit, and am now wearing a sturdy ankle support stocking.

but the lil bugger's throbbing like an SOB.

looks like I'd better start using my AFOs again.

...SIGH...
