My Ramblings

Jul 21, 2010

 I was suppose to have my  6 mo post op. appt on 7/22/2010   for whatever reason the appt day and time got all messed up and now it is reschudled for July 30, .....the day before my birthday!!  I hope I will get good news that would be a awesome b.day gift......I love my b/day I always have, not sure why I think because it is MY DAY! and Im not having to share with anyone, I can do what I want and not feel gulity about doing NOTHING , I do not take enough time for "just me time" and when I do I feel like ....oh I should be doing this or cleaning that ...blah blah blah, I may have a bit of OCD disorder when it comes to things being neat , clean and everything in order, my kids have told me that all their life....I think that is why I have not got as much scrapbooking done like I want to because when I start to do my crafting I think oh no I should be doing something else.....and so there goes another day that I do not spend in my craft room!!.........It is even hard for me to actually sit down and watch a 2hr movie, Im always up and down doing things....and even when Im chatting in the OH group Im doing more than one thing at a time.
  I did have a dr's appt last thursday with my family dr.  Ive lost another  4 lbs in a month, he told me that is a good wt loss, slow and steady!,,,,, I still would like to get to  "my goal" by Labor Day, Ive hit the goal wt for my ht and what the dr said I could weigh, but I want to do even better,  right now I can not exercise so I have to do what i can to lose the wt, and the eating is still hard,  I eat a ton of   Lt. Yogert and  Sugar/free puddings,  I make different protein drinks that I play around with to come up with some fun combos, I do love the UNJURY protein powder,that makes all the difference.  
  On Monday I went into the clinic where i was nursing director for  8 1/2 yrs at, I had not been there since my surgery,  nobody could believe it was me....their mouths dropped and they looked as if they seen a ghost.........I just calmly said " what is wrong with all of you ?".......like nothing had changed at all.......it was funny. and it felt good to get that reaction from all of them.
         Madison and I are trying to figure out where we want to take a trip to over her Spring break,,,,,,( yes spring break 2011) we always travel somewhere for either  1 or  2 weeks, last year it was Central and South America,  I think we are going to go to England so she can see castles and  get some history lessons as well.
     This summer it was just to much for me to try and take a big vacation and Madison understood, I just am not up to it yet, so we will go somewhere this fall, and then do a big spring break trip, she wants to go to Disney World  and I told her I will check on when is the best time to go and we can plan that trip. I just worry about my back holding up , hopefully when Im all healed up my back will be feeling better.
   My veggie garden looks so awesome this year, after the sad way it was last summer Im so pleased with it........all 20 of my tomato plants have tomatos and my patio tomatos are huge!! Madison has 2 pumpkin plants they are all over the place with pretty good size pumpkins on them already , and the jalepenos we are already picking them like crazy... and the giant sunflowers ,,,,well they are GIANT alright!   I better take some more pictures tomorrow........just in case  we get a hail storm, that is what happend last year we had a major hail storm, wiped out everything, so we replanted thinking it would not happen again .sure enough 2 wks later the garden was gone........a few tomato plants were saved and we were able to eat a few ,but it was a pretty pathetic garden.. On that note .....I will say goodnight, it is yogert time.............
