hi ladies...

boy life has been a busy roller coaster for me.

I have some sewing projects that I am working on. Not going that well. I also went on a girls weekend last weekend. It was so much fun!!..I am posting pics to my blog is anyone wants to look PM and I will send you the link.

I started walking at night. It finally cooled off here.

Our youngest had his endoscopy today..UGH! He has major acid reflux and esophogilialitis (sp) It I ALL MY FAULT! I am the mom..i didnt teach him how to eat correctly. NOW we have to back track years! He is only 16. They have him trying different meds.

TIME TO WHIP INTO SHAPE, healthy for my family. I am trying not be be sad and depressed..i say trying cause some days its just how it is.

Hi Everyone,

Carol: Hi sweetie. Thanks for the update on Catherine. I haven't been here in such a long time I didn't know that she was flooded! I will be praying that things are okay for her. Love to you.

Basket: I had tons of zuchini so I grated it into a huge bowl and measured out into ziplock freezer bags to make zuchini bread at my leasure! :)

Cyn: sorry about your son. I will be praying for him. Glad that you had such a great time on your girls night away.

Rat: Have fun camping and yippppppppeeeee for Charley. I am so relieved! Hugs.

Sharon: Congrats on -7. Glad that you got to visit with your friend. Have a nice time with your folks and I hope your Dad is improving daily. Hugs.

Pink: Hang in there hon. You can take it right back off with focus.

Neon: Hugs. So sorry things are rough for you right now.

As for me... had a bit of a cold and lots of agoraphobia. I am trying to hard to over come that. It is TOM and I have to tell you with all the blood thinners that I'm on I feel like I may just bleed to death, lol. That may be a bit of the panic and agoraphobia flare up too. I have a feeling it is hormonal or something. I will talk to my Dr. the next chance I get.

It is getting very cold here and almost feels like it could snow at any minute :)

love, blessings and hugs to you all,
annie

Cyn - Your last post made my heart go out to you, for sure. My mom has said similar things in the past, like that if she had ensured we ate better all the time instead of some of the time maybe she wouldn't have diabetes, maybe we wouldn't have that risk looming over our heads, maybe I wouldn't be morbidly obese... etc. And we have to tell her all the time that it's not her fault. It's not your fault, either. It's your fact, sure, but not your fault. And I'm sure your son doesn't blame you. Hang in there, and keeping making positive choices and changes!

Annie - I had a good laugh at your blood thinners comment, so thanks for that. I needed it! Hope you're feeling better shortly!

I'm having a good day today, my first in a while. Got some free samples of flavoured VIA at Starbucks, budgeted for a pumpkin cream cheese muffin and am enjoying it immensely, I'm almost done this semester, and the Christmas music is keeping me upbeat (only 57 days!).

In other news, I don't have a teaching placement yet, and I may not get to go home... remains to be seen. In theory I fly out of Thunder Bay a week from today, but right now everything is up in the air (pun not intended, but appreciated). Fingers crossed! I gotta get home... I miss my mom and sister so much it hurts all day every day. But something will work out, and whatever it is I will make it work.

STOP!! New month, new thread! Join us for the next installment!
