Oh Frank! I just want to reach in and hold that precious little one!!! How beautiful she is.

Yes, little girls are chatty from the time they are born. It only gets worse. Little boys, like noise. LOL

You can satisfy Miss Goody Two Shoes by ASSISTING the kids and Livid Lioness as it is not coming from you.

Ok, this is wrong, totally wrong but...

Weave, as they innocently serve him the cake, you can give him an evil grin (picture Jack Nicholson in "The Shining") :icon_twisted: lol, it might worry him a little bit and maybe he'll get his stuff out of your room.

Just kidding. I think it's really good you're putting on a strong front for the kids. They're so vulnerable in these situations. :hug:

Wiz, you're funny. As I read that I thought - "Oh, yeah. Make a 'special' cake for dad with laxatives and a good cake for everyone else." LOL

Ok, that was my evil thought for the day. I'm done.

Weave - I agree with Wiz on putting on the front for the kids. It is so hard to do and I admire you for doing it.:hug:

Hi Everybody,

It's a beautiful day again in N. Illinois. :) Yesterday I got some more work outside since the yard was drying out and it was nice in the 70's. I can't wait to plant bulbs. I have some on order with Breck's; they should arrive the first part of October.

I'm having some fatigue issues again, and I'm wondering if it could be diet related. I'd been having cheese every day for snacks and I really shouldn't. When I eat the bad stuff it makes my symptoms ramp up. Also, my urinary problems were on again, so I cut out the cheese as of Tuesday night. Today I actually feel better. I had allergy testing once and it showed a slight dairy allergy. I guess it makes sense that if the food causes inflammation in one area it can also inflame the MS symptoms. The same thing happens if I have a lot of sugar.

The cheese was my nighttime snack. I replaced it with Snyder's big pretzels and mustard. YUM! :p

I started taking Provigil again, but only every other day. If I take it every day it doesn't work as well. At least I can get more things done on the days I do take it. If I don't sleep enough though, it turns me into a zombie. Like I'm awake and moving but not too productive anyway.

I hope you'll all have a beautiful day, my dear friends from all around the world. :grouphug:

BTW, Frank, those babies are adorable, I'm so jealous, lol.

lol wiz i knew i liked ya for a reason

just rocked her to sleep, so darling so precious, I so miss mine being so small

good morning, everybody!

rose at the hind-crack of dawn, the geese honking in the yard over something... hubby was snoozing, so I dressed and took a look...

it was just a giant boa constrictor... no big deal (*gulp!*)

it slithered under the cistern when I approached, so I only saw the last few feet... (*double gulp!*)

since THAT woke me up for sure, I decided to go ahead and start the coffee, and prep the animal food...

chop 3 lg. heads of cabbage coarsely
chop 1 sm. head of cabbage very fine, for the duckling nursery
shred 2 heads of lettuce for the duckies
slice a sm. cantaloupe for the guinea pigs
string and stick a bun of celery for the wabbits and guineas
remove outer leaves from a dozen cabbages, for bunnies
chop 8 lg. carrots into sticks, for bunnies and guineas
measure out 16 cups of whole corn for free-ranger's area

put all into (recycled) pails and bags, line up on kitchen table

don long pants, heavy socks, long-sleeved shirt (for bug protection), and scarf made into headband (for catching those menopausal forehead drips)

gather all bags and pails onto arms (only wanna make ONE loop of territory) balance at doorway juggling bags, and slide feet into sandals.

check on six duck-moms in nests, and four broody chickens.
rake sand area (20 x 30) of leaves and mess.
walk to goat shed, pass out hay to goats, check on baby kids.

head over to palapa, give handful of hay to each bunny and guinea cage.
check on pregnant guinea pigs.
refill water bottles and pellet cups.

pass out leafy greens, melon, and veggie sticks.

move duck who has eggs hatching (carefully) into nursery, ooooh, there's SEVEN babies so far !!!

count fuzzy ducklings in other nursery (36), and pet mamas...

pass out celery, cabbage, corn, lettuce, callalou, chaya, and cocoyams to swine, ducks, chickens.

walk to pond, and disburse corn and cabbage for geese and ducks.

wake hubby to milk goats, and tie up draped bug-nets over bed.

return to desk to SIT, sip coffee, and read the morning news.

:D:cool::D

it's only 6:30 am, and I'm DONE for this morning...

the whole day's ahead of me, so why am I ready for a NAP ???

:eek::D:eek:

LOL, Kay.

And now, I know for sure, I will never move to Belize! :eek: Snakes give me the heebie jeebies! And I thought I had it tough getting up to feed Rocky when he's all stressed out on days I sleep late. He gives me a bath on my ears and face, but he gets really aggressive with his teeth and claws washing if I'm too slow getting downstairs to his dish. lol

Jim is feeling good, still tight in the legs but feeling good. He started choking this morning while I was in the other room. I waited to see if he was alright and finally he called out "I am fine, I just got a bad hit." :p I guess you had to be there but he knew I'd come running checking temps and bp's if he didn't say he was ok.

I hear you on the painting Sandy. I'm really, really slow, :rolleyes: but I still like to do it. I'm finishing up in our yard and now thinking about new carpet and linoleum. Ours is 18 years old and wasn't the best stuff when we got it anyway. I figure prices might be good now with this economy mess we're in? :rolleyes:

Go Bush-ster!!! Git 'er fixed! lol

I was also going to say heating pad but I read this too late of course. I'm glad Jim is feeling better. :grouphug:

Kay, hope you got some rest.

Frank, Thanks for sharing the pics. They are adorable.

Wiz and Trish, LOL! I definitely wouldn't want to be on your bad sides. :D

~~~~~~

I've done maybe three things today so far, but it's alright. :) At least I've had the windows open for the past few days and have been getting some fresh air. The only reason I'm not looking forward to winter is having to shut up the house again.

Hi Everyone!

I've been reading through the posts I've missed. I need to start checking in everyday!! I'm still not caught up....I think I only missed two days...lol

I'm still feeling lousy. I have an appt with my neuro next Tuesday. Hope he can do something.

Hubby needs to use the computer, so I'll check back later this afternoon. :grouphug: Thinking of you all :grouphug:

take it easy Tara, good luck on catching up, some days i dont post for a few hours and have about 3-4 pages to read, lol I love this thread
