What are we eating & What's eating us - Friday Edition

Hi Brenda....I am healing very well. It takes longer to recover from a break then a replacement ....so my surgeon has said. Most days I run around like normal....somedays there is alittle pain.Nothing that I can't handle. I see my surgeon on Wednesday and I will be discussing this with him at that time.

Thanks for the concern. You are such a wonderful friend!!

Ruth, I have to empty out my closet every 6 months or so. I have so many clothes when I do. Just a couple of weeks ago I gave a ton to someone from Free cycle. I usually use that web site since it is that or Goodwill around here. We do have a few resale shops too that I have given to which in turn helps people that are in need since they are church shops. We have a group of church's that work together with them.

Linda is fine..she was out and about doing shopping and such...pampering herself which is always good. She deserves the pampering! She is a darling. No two ways about it.

Have a great week end and your menu looks great.

LOL I wrote the thread,and droppped off to sleep before I hit enter11
so sorry!

Linda, that sounds like something that I would do..fall asleep before hitting the enter key.

I am so tired from watching Kayden. I love him to death but my gosh he just wants to be held 24/7. I am working on breaking him from that and then Bill yells that he can't stand the screaming. I tell him that I am working on stopping it but it is going to take time. I let him yell for 20 minutes and then he got picked up. He was so mad his arms were flinging all over and his legs were just kicking! He was one pissed off little guy and that is the truth! Oh well, he will learn if we keep consistent! That is the key.

I am so glad that you enjoyed your day. You deserve it and should do it more often.

I am sending love and hugs to you along with prayers being said for you and yours.

 THERE SHE IS!

All is well.

Here I am..late but better than not here at all. There's been terrible thunder and lightning storms here yesterday and  across the lake from us, there were tornadoes too! A young boy was killed.

I didnt sleep a wink last night..got a very late message from my cousin that they had it out yesterday with my sister.  It was too late to call back and then, of course, that's all I could think about. So I didnt get to bed til this morning at 10 am..slept til 2 pm and got up, showered dressed and out the door.  I had some errands to do in preparation of the wedding we will attend Saturday.  I also had some homemade soup for Mother and some reading material and Derek had bought Mom a good quality LED flashlight when he found out that she didnt have one (in case the power goes out again).

When I got to Mom's, I found that she didnt know anything about my sister and I decided to NOT tell her.  JB had called my cousins back this morning while I was sleeping.  YEP, she is back into the drugs and the scamming. Im trying to protect Mother, almost 90, from the bad news but she will eventually find out.  While I was there, my sister called Mom and asked when I was coming back up to Quebec for a visit....I just acted dumb for now but Im nit at all surprised, Ive had my suspicions since she moved there from Montral and even before that.  The news I was told  later by my cousins made me sick.

Yes, Im feeloing the stress but I refuse to EAT my way thru it this time.  This is what I had today:

B   hot chocolate protein drink made w/ skim milk powder

S   1 cheese stick - Old Cheddar

L    high protien soup

S    none

D    grilled shrimp, cooked beets

S   watermelon

All of my supplements as well - I bought more iron and potassium today.

Nancy B

 

Nancy, I am truly sorry for all the stuff that you are going through. It seems to me that family is the ones that hurt us the most. It is because we love them so much and want the best for them. But sometimes tough love is the best way to go. It is hard but they need to know that we aren't going to be a part of them ruining their and others lives. Best of luck to you.

It sounds like you have a good handle on the food. Determination will help and it sounds like you are determined. You go Girl!!!

I will be keeping you in prayers and please know that we are here for you.

Bren,I LOVE fried green Tomatoes!! How do you do yours????
