Hello
This morning I went to our church and had a wonderful Sunday School lesson, I love my class. It is a small class and we discuss the lesson and I learn so much because of the interaction of everyone there. The the sermon was uplifting and annointed, my pastor preached on Christ, Joy and Praise.
Tonight we played hooky fom our church and went to a singing at a different church and it was so uplifting and a visiting preacher was going to say a little after the singing and (I love it when this happens) The service was so good and people started praying and going to the alter and the spirit of God was so present that I almost felt I could reach out and touch Him.
I talked to the visiting preacher after the service and she (yes it is a woman minister) invited us to her church for a homecoming service . I think we are going even though it will meant that we will miss our service.
I really like visiting a variety of churches and hearing different singers and speakers. I learn a lot and I have been blessed so many times. My pastor does not like for us to stay out of church to go somewhere else, but like I said I enjoy the variety.

Hello
The baby spent last night with dh and me. He is just such a sweetie, and i really enjoy him being here. I do have ensomnia sometimes and last nigh was one of those nights. I might have gotten 3 hours sleep, and that was not hard sleep because baby wanted to sleep cuddling grandma. I would not trade that time for anything, I feel mighty blessed to have him with me often. he went home today around 3 pm and I already had my exercise clothes and shoes on and was avle to immediately start exercising when baby and my son in law left.
My dd's work schedule has changed and i am no longer taking him to church. I know that I am going to miss him but this way dd gets to spend more time with him and that is more important than grandma spending time with him.

Thank you for the hill I climb
and every day that the sun didn't shine
and I thank You for the valley I walk through today
I praise His name and I thank Him for the many blessings that He sends to me.
Hello
Something that amazes me is when I am down, one of my church sisters will call me just to tell me that she was thinking of me and that she wanted to give me a verse she had read and a lot of times the verse is one that I really need right then. God is good and I am so glad that I became a Christian and I am so amazed that He wanted me to be His.
Calories for today 1450
exercise was 65 min. of mowing
calories burned off was 672
I had such a wonderful day today. I got out early and mowed and even though it is tiring work, I always feel exilerated (I know that is spelled wrong) and so tired I can barely walk and yet full of energy. ANd the best thing is the feeling of energy lasts for hours.
Then my dd called and asked dh and me to go eat an early dinner at her house. I went and was very aware of what and how much I was eating (I was very proud of me) I kept up with my calories and was able to still keep my daily total below 1500.
After dinner she and I went shopping and I found a gorgeous over shirt it is a lovely muted red with swished tiny black dots that look like black glowing dust from a fairy wand in a pattern like a wave. IT is hard to explain but as soon as I saw it I knew it would be perfect with a black silk tank top. I came home and tried it on and it is perfect. I know I have only lost a few pounds, but I have been using weights and I can tell a differance in my sides and tummy. There is a sleekness that was not there before and I am still big, but I am getting excited about buying pretty clothes.

Hello
I did not get here yesterday because my son in law forot to pay the elctricity and even with late notices he put it off and the electric company cut their power off yesterday and so they came to sleep here. I mentioned before that my computer is in the guest room so the dd and baby went to sleep and son in law jumped on my computer. He did not even ask if I needed to get on here. Some people just do not think.
OH OH OH my dd just called me and I found out he did nothing but complain because my computer is slow and it was hot in my house, and he had to wear pants to bed. Some people just love to find fault.
Some one sent my grandson a link to a really cute song on Utube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kEB82Ej82A
It is cute but make sure your children are not near because it is kinda addicting. It really is cute.
Remember me saying my pedometer broke? It was a nice one like a pouch with zipper across the top and you just clip it on and put your I D in, a little money and then you just take off. Dh and I searched all over for another like and we could not find it anywhere. I liked it so muchbetter than that were out there. So I called the company to see if I could order it from them and she (such a very sweet lady) said that they had discontinued that model. she said people had arm bands that holds a mp3 player and money etc. and that model stopped selling. I almost wept. AND THEN she said "I think I saw one around here yesterday, still in the package. She told me to wait a moment and then she came back and said "yes here it is " she took my name and address and sent it to me free of charge. Wasn't that sweet.
I saw a movie today called Iceman, starring Timothy Hutton and John Hone. Have you seen this movie? It came out in 1985 and even though it is 23 yr.s old it is still a good movie so I knew who timothy hutton is and I googled John Hone. He is an oriental.. I would never had guessed it! And he has played in several movies. I guess he looks different than he did in his neanderthal make up cause I have never recognized him.
Calories for yesterday was1460

I had a nice quiet day, and it was very enjoyable. Baby came at 4 pm and will be here until Wed. night. He is a joy and right now he is in my guest bathtub. He is playing in the tub with, of all things, my plastic cooking spoons and one bowl.. I will probably just let him have them and buy me some new ones. That is all right cause after a bit, the plastic ones start getting stained and pitted looking and I discard them anyway. He does have tub toys I do not understand why he would be interested in playing in the tub with them. But it does incourage eye hand coordination so it is fine with me.
My dd brought him and forgot to leave the car seat so I will not be able to go to the revival tonight. I feel bad about it , but believing as I do, I feel God has a reason for everything, and everything will be used for His glory. I don't know how but I do have faith in God and in His word. He says "it is my good pleasure to give you the desires of your heart." And also He says "all things work togeather for good for them that love the Lord" I will just trust that He knows best.
Time to get the baby out. (in case you are wondering -my computer is very near the bathroom where baby is, and i have gotten up several times to check on him,)
God bless you all
and sleep well

Totally comical home remedies
AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES
1. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop.
2. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the shower.
3. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.
4. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you>from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
5. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.
6. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
**Daily Thought:** SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKYS. THEY'RE NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS. ---=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=----====

Jesus Jesus I love to call Your name,
Hello
Children are gone back to their home, and I was able to go to church tonight.
Grandboy really can't help it, remember Rainman? that is my grandson, only my grandson is just 10. I could not take him to an unfamiliar environment cause he simply would not know how to behave.
It has been a nice quiet evening here and i really needed it. I am the type of person that needs some alone time every couple of days. I have not been alone since tuesday. Tomorrow I think I will just spend most of the day doing nothing. Just relaxing and reading and playing and talking on the phone and exercising .
OK enough about me :) wait it is MY journal I can talk about me all I want to -right?

I wish i could say they were just being kids but they complain and argue and whine and demand and I do not think I have ever seen two more spoiled and disabedient childrem.. the LIttle girl is almost 7 and she walks around with her finger up her nose or scrtching her crotch. I tell her that looks ugly but she just keeps doing it. Her clothes are horribly revealing. Her shorts are cut up so high that when she walks around you can see the bottom of her butt. and she sets with her legs spread and you can see her twat. What is my son and his wife thinking to get her clothes like that. and when boy sets down she draps herself on him and puts her legs over him and puts her but in his lap. I keep telling her that it looks bad and she just keeps doing it.
The boy is aspergers and I actually have less problems with him than with her. But he dows have a habit of turning around quickly and staring like trying to look holes in my head. And he sneaks up on me --I hate that and it does no good for me to tell him not to sneak up on me he just does not understand that he can get by with a lot of things that his parents let him do but I am not going to allow it.
Complain time is over for now.

Hello
calories for today---1420
exercise was 65 minutes of pushing non manuel mower
I burned off 672 calories
My pedometer battery went dead and I have no idea how many steps I took.
weep, sob, weep, I really loved keeping up with my steps
I think I may have tried to push the mower too quick this morning. The area of my heel that i do have ploblems with is now fevered and swollen. I still need to clean up my kitchen and sweet and straighten a bit and then get the kids in the shower. Then I will need to wash clothes. I had forgotten that washing is an everyday thing when you have more than two people in the house. But they do mess up a lot of clothes. I have litterally washed clothes every day since they came. Of course my son brought the kids and dirty clothes for them and I had to start a load of clothes immediately.
I am beginning to feel stressed . The children are just children and they really have not been taught how to behave. They are both argumentative and disrespectful. My children were not like that and my youngest grandson is not likethta. I know he is younger but still my children were not like that. They go home tomorrow and I bet they are not ever going to want to come back cause I just would not let them do what they wanted todo. I made them obey. NO ARGUING--no yelling , no hitting, no name calling, etc.
Time to get busy.
Sleep well and sweet dreams

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
Hello
I still have two of the 3 grandchildren-the youngest went home last night. The little girl is 6 and is so spoiled the older one is 10 and has aspergers. He is so easily manipulated and the little girl uses that and orders him about a lot. She would yell at the baby and I believe I heard her say in that high pitched nasaly whiny voice "stop it" 100 times in the last 24 hours ---but she is learning that I don't take anything and I am the adult and she does what I say and not the other way around.
I stopeed her ordering her brother around quickly. He can't help it and I just am not going to allow her to do that to him. I stopped her taKing baby's toys yesterday. She would take his toys and not let him play.
I looked in the mirror earlier and i still have all my hair.
I got out earlier and mowed, I needed to get out of the house and the day was perfect not too hot and dh had today off and he was straightening the garage. So he kept an eye/ear on the kids while they watched tv, and I worked off my stress and got almost an hour of exercise.

My God is big enough to pick me up
when I stumble and fall and when I come to the banks
of the chilled and muddy Jordan
He'll be big enough to carry me across.
OH MY GOODNESS-
I have had my hands full with those three children.. The oldest is an aspsergers child, he is ten and he is also 5 and he is also 20. He is far superior that even a lot of 20 yr. olds,,, ok think rainman in a 10 yr. old body.Although my grandson is a higher functioning asperger, while rainmain was a high end autistic.
The granddaughter at 6 is spoiled rotten and thinks the world owes her whatever she wants. They are at my house and my youngest is 3 and nearly all the toys here are his. Aimed for his age, and they wanted to play with the toys but did not want my youngest grandson to play and they would push him and I tried talking and finally I got tired of them being mean and I told them that they were playing with BABY's toys and they better play nice or I would set them down and they would not be allowed to play with the toys. I yelled at thim and then I felt so quilty. But really they did this for several hours before I finally felt I had no alternative.

What a full day I had!!!!! I got a call early this morning from my son. my d-i-l is in the hospital needing a gall bladder operation and he needed to bring me the children. A 10 yr. old boy who has aspergers and is hyper as they come (he really can not help it) the dr. said he does not need to be on the meds any longer. and a 6 yr. old girl and I already have the 3 yr. old.
I am sorry she is needing an operation but I am so happy to see the children. I have not seen them since Christmas. I have missed them so much and now here ethey are in my floor watching tv in my computer room and I can look over and see all 3 of them. I should not feel this good about seeing them since it is becasue their mother is sick, I'm sorry but I really am glad to see them.
For a while I had both my children in the house and my husband and all the grand children the only thing missing was the in law children. Had they been here it really would have been complete.
After everything settled down I realized I had not exercised today so I set the 3 children in front of the tv and put my shoes on and went out and cut grass. Came inside and that wonderful husband had not even thought about starting showers.
Soemtimes I wonder why men do not think like us. Perhaps it would be a wise thing to go ahead and vote a woman into the white house at least we seemto be able to think with both sides of our brain.

Jesus loves me this I know
For the bible tells me so
little ones to Him belong
They are weak
But He is strong.
Hello
What a wonderful day I had. I love having a day with my dd. When she was a tee ager I thought satan had moved into my house but she has really matured and turned into such a responsible person and a loving and caring mom to her very sweet son, and a respectful daughter.
My husband took half a day off and he ate lunch with us. He (typical male) does not like to shop so he left after lunch and came home. That is alright dd and I shopped and laughed and had a blast. I bought one silky sleeveless pull over blouse. It will look great under my black shirt, like a 2 piece combo top.
I did over eat aand I knew that I would. SO ----this morning I got up early and I did 70 minutes of arobics and then at 5 this evening I did another 70 minutes. For both exercises i burned off 1196 calories. That does not include all the walking I did while Iwas shopping. I feel good about the amount of calories and the amount of exercise I did to get rid of some of the calories I took in.
Pedometer steps is 16305 for the day.
calories was 2000 to 2500. I feel i am over estimating we did eat at a chinese restaurant and we all know that a lot of the foods are cooked in sauces and that is where a lot of calories come from. I was moderate in my eating and only took small amounts of my favorites. And when it came to desserts I chose 3 dessert and only took one small forkfull from each. I gave the rest to my dh.
Exercise was 140 minutes of arobics/
We brought the baby home with us and he will probably be here at least until Wed. night and maybe until Thursday afternoon. Keeping him will not stop me from exercising. I have a place in my guest room that i can exercise in and it is near my computer so I can pop a video in to my computer and the baby watches barney or Thomas the train or wiggles while I exercise. Sometimes he comes back where I am and he joins me in exercise. I think about what I am teaching him. I hope I am teaching him to take care of his body and his health.
Sleep well everyone
God bless

Dh was sick Fri. Sat. and this moring. We missed church this morning and then he started feeling better in the afternoon and we diecided we would go hear some friends singing at a different church. We drove 45 miles to go hear them and we felt like we were playing hookey from our church. Both of us felt bad but we really wanted to hear these friends sing. We walk in and this elderly man walk over shakes our hand and welcomes us to his church. He asks us where we go to church and we tell him.
Then he asked us How we liked the pastor there and of course since we both like our pastor we bragged on him. Then this frail older man said "You tell that boy (our pastor is 62 yrs. old) that I said if you does not behave himself and treat yall right, his daddy is going to get after him with a stick" Thats right that older man was my pastors daddy. Small world huh? I got back hom and had to call my pastor and I told him how ironic it was, here we were playing hookey and we meet his daddy.
The singing was wonderful and we all had a great time. We were invited to stay and have a meal with the singers and there wives but dh and I sad we needed to get back home. I was proud of us for not staying. It would have been nice but way more calories than either of us needed. (churches always have such yummy food)
My friend came today, I told her baby was sick and hubby was sick too but she came anyway and she brought baby some books and movies and she brought dh some work shirts that her hubby did not need. DH goes through so many shirts. He is a professional painter and trust me he really gets into his work. He goes through 5 to 7 shirts every 8 weeks.
Tomorrow dd and I are having a mom and dd and grandson day. I pray i can eat moderatly, maybe just a salad. I hope, I pray.
I am going to get up ealry and exercise and then when we get back I am going to exercise again. I worry myself sick sometimes thinking about eating out and losing the little control I have over myself.
TAke care everyone

Hello everyone
Calories for today-1455
pedometer steps-4712 (my pedometer was turned sideways and id not pick up all of my steps while I mowed grass)
exercise was 55 minutes of mowing. It was so humid out there this morning but I persevered and I got all of my front and the side of my yard, the part that can be seen from the road.
Burned off 519 calories
Remember me talking about needing a higher dose of synthyroid? Well before i began taking the new pills, my weight would just fluctuate, and slowly I was gaining weight. the last of July I had gained up to 231.6. I am not losing weight fast, I am over 50, and past menopause, those things do slow the metabolism down. But at least I am starting to lose and with all the struggling I have been going through I am happy to lose a pound a week.
The new pills got into my system good and I have lost down to 227.4. I am not doing anything differant than I was before. I still exercise the same and I eat about the same. I am so glad I was able to get the new blood test done, without that we would not have known that my thyroid was so messed up.
Have a good night
sleep well

He's still working on me, to make me what I ought to be,
"It took him just a week to make the moon and the stars
the earth and the sun and Jupiter and Mars
How loving and patient He must be
cause He's still working on me.
There really ought to be
a sign upon my heart
don't judge me yet
there's an unfinished part.
I'll be perfect
just you wait and see,

My dh is sick, he caught the cold the g-baby has,. When the baby is here I am the main care giver. I hope I don't get sick, I hate having colds. Although I have to say colds are not nearly as bad now as they were when I was a smoker. I could get a cold and stay sick for 3 to 5 weeks. My immune system was so low that I would catch cold easily and my system just would not throw them off . Since I uit smoking (and started eating better and exercising) if I catch a cold sometimes I can throw it off in a week. Quitting smoking is way up there in the list of important decisions that I have made.
I ironed today, not my favorite chore, but I do love the way a freshly ironed shirt looks. I always iron our church clothes, and I iron the babys clothes, he looks so cute with little creases in his jeans.
My dd and I have a special day planned for Mon. We are going to spend the day togeather, dd and me and baby. I am so looking forward to it. It has been a while since we took an entire day for ourselves. We will go shopping and go out to eat. I fear going out to eat. I know that I will eat more calories than I should but I am going to try to eat within reason. I am going to try to eat no fried foods and only one dessert. I am going to try to remind myself to eat a few vegetables first . Maybe I can minimize the damage.

I did not have grandbaby here today and I cleaned and vacumned and washed and hung up clothes and did dishes and straightened house. I talked to my mom today also and usually it is an unpleasant task when I talk to her. But this morning it was a bit more pleasant. Not totally but I know that my prayers will be answered and we will have a better relationship.
I heard from my friend and she will get here on Sunday. I am glad she is ok.
My new pedometer did not work right or maybe I did not do it right but it said that for my arobics today I burned off almost 2000 calories-yeah right - in my dreams maybe. But I talked to dd and she said it probably is not set up to accurately measure arobics. She said it is possible it it only supposed to catch stride steps. Ok I can see that, tomorrow I am going to just wear it for my housework and telephone walking and outside walking. We will see. It will still be fun and if it does not keep accurate calories butned off maybe it does keep accurate steps and my dd can use it.
That is it for today,
Sleep well and

Hello everyone
calories for today-1445
pedometer steps -11144
exercise-70 minutes of Leslie Sansone "walk away the pounds-express"
calories burned off while I exercised-609
Baby was sick today, a bad headcold and he coughed and sneezed and ran a fever. Poor baby just wanted to lay against me all morning and then after 12 he perked up a bit and was a proverbial handful. I know I got a lot of steps in today, and most of them was put on trying to keep up with that wonderful 3 yr. old ball of energy.
I got my new pedometer today, remember I ordered one that would keep up with my steps and my calories burned off. You have to personalize it with your age and female/male and your weight. I opened it up and tried I really did but it was like I was reading Greek, I had to wait until my dd got here so she could personalize it for me. I felt like such a dummy. But I think this is going to be a little motivating for me. Anyway it should be fun for a while.
I have not heard from my friend today, she did say she wanted to see her brother first so maybe I will hear from her tomorrow. I sure pray nothing is wrong, we did have rainy and stormy weather here today.
Speaking of praying, we had a wonderful service tonight. Our pastor went to the General Assembly in Texas and this is his first service since he returned. He is on fire so I suppose he had a great time there. I am glad preachers have somewhere to go so they can renew and refresh themselves spiritually.
God bless you all

My friend from Penn. is coming down south tonight. I have not known her for a long time, we met on the computer and sorta hit it off. Then she came down once and we met and it was like a sister I had known for ages. She is a Christian and a very loving and caring person. I am so glad we met and I know that God put her in my path for a reason. God knew I neeeded a Christian friend that I could talk to daily.
I got a wonderful phone cal last night from the lead singer of The Couriers. They will be performing near here and he invited my husband and me to go hear him and his band. They are a religious group and dh and I got to know them right after we became Christions. they are very talented, but better than that, they are Godly men annointed by God and eager to do all they can to let everyone know that they live there life trying to please the Lord by using the talents that they have been given.
Then this morning I got another phone call from a friend. She is the activity coordinator at her church and she wants me to go to her church on Sat. night to hear an Elvis impersonater. He will be giving a concert featuring Elvis's Christian songs. I am looking forward to it and I believe dh and I will have a wonderful time.
My friend will be here tomorrow night, we will "see" Elvis on Sat. night and we will hear the Couriers on Sunday. I am so looking forward to the next couple of days.
Life is Good, and getting better everyday. I think there used to be a song that said 'sweeter gets the journey every day, serving Jesus is the way, I get happy in this heavenly way cause sweeter gets the journey every day." It has been years since I heard this song so I may have some of the words wrong, but you get the idea about how I feel.

I'm walking up the Kings Highway
Hello
pedometer steps-8419
calories for today-1405
exercise-60 minutes of pushing a nonmanual mower.
I got up fairly early this morning and did my devotionals then mowed and showered and dh got caught up with the people that lay the carpet so he came home early. We went to get me some new sneakers and he needed some new work shoes. I found a really cute pair (OK I wear a size 9 shoe not too many shoes are cute at that size) but because I was born with flat feet I have to buy special inserts, they are not cute but they are very necessary).
Now for the good part. We came back home and a young male friend (I call him my adopted son) called to tell me that his first wife had decided to let him have the children. The two boys wanted to live with him and we had all been praying. His first wife was a good mother, no problems there but the boys just wanted to live here and go to school here and they loved going to our church. The first wife was going to fight it , but then she just said if they were sure this is what they wanted, she would not stand in the way any longer. Praise God.
I have to get up in the morning and go out early and cut grass some more, come in shower, and by that time baby will be here. I miss him when he is not here but I can't do anything outside because he will stand there pull up my flowers and say "was dis a fower a-ma I pit it fo you" How can you fuss at such sweetness? And I would not even try to mow with him here. He would be in the highway first time I turned my back to go the other way.
OH Well I am just goimg to do the best I can cause the time is coming he will be in school and I know my days will be so empty with out him here.
Sleep well

What a beautiful day for the Lord to come again
(I really like that song)
I had a most wonderful time in church today. this morning and tonight service, you could feel the Lord so strongly, it was like he was just touching everyone. I stood at the altar and wept tears of joy to be in the prescence of God. I think everyone was ffeeling the same thing I was. Preacher Goude did such a great job on the sermans. The serman this morning was "No Parking Here" and it means that when God saves you you are not supposed to stop where you are, you are supposed to keep moving and working for the Lord. I was worshipping so hard tonight that I really can not remember what the the sermon was about/
Tomorrow I am going to start a new diet. I pray that God will be with me and give me strength. I have been sick with one thing after another and that has kept me from eating right and eating healthy and exercising. I think the poisen is out of my body enough that I should have energy to do something tomorrow. YES I am going to mow grass for an hour. I sure do hope that I have the energy to do it for an hour.
Everyone wish me well.
Sleep well
and
sweet dreams.
I had a most wonderful time in church today. this morning and tonight service, you could feel the Lord so strongly, it was like he was just touching everyone. I stood at the altar and wept tears of joy to be in the prescence of God. I think everyone was ffeeling the same thing I was. Preacher Goude did such a great job on the sermans. The serman this morning was "No Parking Here" and it means that when God saves you you are not supposed to stop where you are, you are supposed to keep moving and working for the Lord. I was worshipping so hard tonight that I really can not remember what the the sermon was about/

I still am so thankful that it was not worse, I got bit 25 to 30 times, but dh said there seemed to be hundreds of the yellow jackets flying around me. He said they were almost covering my pants. Out of all of that I ONLY got 25 or 30 bites. I looked at the nest yesterday, dh had set it on fire, and what remained did look just like a wasp nest.
Yesterday the youth director at our church called to see how I was getting along, and he invited me and dd and grandbaby to the church today for a back to school fling. I reminded him that g-baby just turned 3 and he was not going to school yet. I feel so honored to have such wonderful church friends. He said my g-baby was a wonderful boy and they all want him there. They had pizza and chips and cheese curls and cake and icees, cola. They had a huge water slide. My g-son started singing "happy birthday to me" Baby got a little bit of a sunburn I am glad I keep stuff on hand. I had some baby lotion with aloe vera in it.
I am feeling so much better and am looking forward to going to church tomorrow. My diet did not go too well today. I only had one piece of cake and 3 small pieces of pizza. No chips or cheese curls. My breadfast was a sandwich and 2 cups of coffee. Supper was 1 and 1/2 cups of potatoe soup. I did not eat very nutritiously today but I don't think I went way over 1500 calories, but I also did not exercise. Just did not seem to feel up to it.

All things work togeather for good for them that love the Lord
Hello and
I have had a very uncomfortable few days. I know that was a lot of poisen going in my body and I knew I would feel bad but I did not expect to feel so sleepy and tired all day long. The baby came Tues. afternoon and stayed until midday Thursday and I set in my chair in the family room stuck in a movie and just let him watch. I am so glad he is basically a calm child.
My body is not swollen much at all now and i have minimal itching. But every place I was bitten is a scabbed over wound about the size of the writing tip of a flair pen.
I praise God for taking care of me and for dh being here when it happened and for it not happening to the baby.
I tried to watch how I ate today and I got to 1550 calories and then someone gave us to just picked watermelons and I scooped them from the rinds and put it in tupperware bowls, (bought before Tupperware moved to Mexico, I have not bought any tupperware since they moved to Mexico) to put in my refridgerator. But you know that I ate some of the juicy, fresh, sweet, pink, watermelon.
I did not get in any exercise, but I am going to make myself do some tomorrow even if it is only 10 minutes.
Seep well everyone

The Yellow Jackets got me
(grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable this is almost a novel)Hello
Remember the bees that bit me?Dh went around spraying everything he could find and he rechecked the ground to find the nests. Monday morning I was out mowing and we finally found the ground nest the hard and painful way. It was yellow jackets and they swarmed all over me. Dh had jury duty that morning so he had not left for work yet (it was early) and he heard me screaming and rushed outside, he saw the YJackets swarming and biting me. He pulled me into the back yard and sprayed me with water but they were not letting go. They bit and stung. They had gotten under my shirt and up my pants legs.
I began pulling my clothes off and the water was not making them let go. So dh began knocking them off with his hands. He got bit twice.
We came inside and I called the dr. I could barely talk much less drive so dh called the courthouse and told them what had happened and he took me to the dr. I was bit 25 to 30 times. I am still a little swollen even though I got a shot and some pills to take. My body is so sluggish and tired feeling I suppose that is from the poisen that the Yjackets put in me.
Grandbaby had a 3 yr. checkup with the dr monday morning and dd called right before she left her house and she just did catch us. She kept her appointment (baby is in the upper percentile in all areas -even to how much he knows academically) and then she headed toward lake city to find us. She finally was able to get through to dh cell phone and found out everything and she came back to the house and stayed with me while dh got the meds.
After we came back from the dr.s dh started looking for the nest, and he found it. He filled the hole with gasoline and set it on fire. When it cooled down he dug it up and found the nest with tiny eggs all in it. he poured gas on that and set it on fire. He said it looked just like a wasp nest but it was under ground.
Son in law took off of work on Tuesday so he could keep the baby, so I could rest a little better but that evening the electricity went off att heir house and he called and asked if he could bring the baby over to spend the night because it was just too hot there for him. Of course I said yes bring him on to me. So baby has been here since Monday afternoon and mostly all I have done is put him in front of the tv and doze in my chair. About every 5 minutes he says I go sit in Granmas lap. He crawls up and sits there about 30 seconds. The meds make me very sleepy.
When my sister found out what hapened she called and saied for me to bring grandbaby to her. I put on my happy voice and said it is no problem for him to stay here. I enjoy his company. No way would I want him to go to her house. She is such an braggart, the last time she came here she took 5 minutes just to tell grandbaby about all the toys that Katie has. He is young and probably does not understand but what is it going to be like when he gets older and she is telling him how they have a 4 wheeler at their house and a big swimming pool, etc.
I just reread your email and I wanted you to know that I am praying about whatever it is that is making you sad. I do not have to know what it is, God knows and that is all that matters. I am praying for you and your faimly.
I am glad your son came home and I know you are enjoying his visit.
No need to worry about the cake-There was not much left, everyone bragged on how good it was and several of the adults made a point of coming to me after church and telling me how much they enjoyed it.
The train track that we bought was a small one and it was not one of those that have the power ? in the track. The train had a battery and you cut the train on and it pulls the other trains. It was only well I can't remember but I do know it was less than 20 dollars.
Ron did go with Jeni the other day and seh said dthey both enjoyed it.
My neighbor lady, sits on the same pew as I do at church, has a bedroom suit that they no longer use and she wanted to get rid of it. She asked if I thought dd would like it for g-baby and she said yes. It has a huge dresser and mirror and a chest of drawers, a double bed mattres and box springs that has barely been used. Her and her husband bought the set for their daughtrer and their dd was grown. Shortly after they bought it their dd moved into a furnished apartment and so it has been very gently used. They gave it to grandson. I offered them some money for it but they would not take it.
I need ot go and at least set in the family room with the baby.

Hello everyone
I hope everyone had a most blessed Sunday. I had a terrific day. My hight was not so good, I had problems sleeping, this happens sometimes and since it is not very often I can deal with it. However, it is Sunday and I went to church and I kept having to fight sleep. Dh had to keep nudging me to make sure my head did not nod too much.. I kept wanting to go to sleep all night long and kept trying to stay awake all morning in church. I took the cake in for the childrens church snack. They loved it -the kids and the adults. There was only 4 small pieces of cake left. I am glad everyone like it.
I have not had any cake today. I will pay you 20 dollars to come be my cake police. Slap handcuffs on me and arrest me if I even look and the left over cake. lol
I ordered a new pedometer. I love the one I have but the new one is not only a pedometer but it also tells you how many calories you burn off for all the steps you take. I hope it comes this week, I should have paid for expedited shipping.
calories for today-1285
pedometer steps-8535
exercise-70 minutes of leslie walk away the pounds for abs and an older leslie firm up fast walk.
During arobics I burned off 788 calories
Have a good night

Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace,
How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost
but now I'm found,
was blind buy now I see.
Hello
Today was my youngest grandsons birthday. He is the one that I babysit. Baby was 3 yrs.old today and I remember when he was being born. DD had asked that I be in the room with her when she delivered. Her dh was in there too, but she wanted her mama. (and I wanted to be in with her.) Baby had a larger than normal head, and he got stuck in the birth canal. The contractions continued and his little skull was pressing against his brain and and I was rushed out of the room and dd was rushed to surgery. I found out later she was going into shock blood pressure started dropping and baby was in danger. They did an emergency c section, and he was a big baby. He is still in the upper percentile for his age in weight and height. He weighs close to 45 pounds and he is tall for his age. He is as big as most 4 year old children. And he is so sweet.But the best part. We worried so much that his brain had been damaged becasuie of the contractions, but he is also in the upper percentile in his learning. He knows his alphabet by sight and knows all his colors and shapes even octogon. God is good. The only thing is he coes not have a lot of finesse in his pronunciation. Instead of saying walmart he says yahmar and dollar general in dolyah genal.
My dh and I took dd and her husband and baby out to CiCi's pizza and then we went to Ross's store and i let him pick out a toy for his birthday. He picked a Thomas the train -train track and two trains . Then we went back to their house and had cake, and we brought baby back here to spend the night and go to church with us in the morning.
I kept up with all that I ate, and I went way over what I should have, but I am going to put my calories here.
calories for the day 2155
exercise was 70 minutes of arobics
and 45 minutes ironing
I burned off 788 calories during arobics
and 179 calories by ironing.
total burned off 967 calories.
I am going to have to do much better for the next few days in order to negate the extra calories.
sleep well everyone

The battles not mine, said little David
The battles not mine
said little David
Lord I'm glad I'm in Your favor
I'm giving it all to You Lord
I know not what to do.
I'm so glad You let me see
That You're everything that I need
for the battles not mine
I give it to You
Lord it's Thine.
Hello everyone
Calories for today-1360
Pedometer steps for today-11972
exercise-75 minutes of arobics, hanging up laundry, walking while I talked on phone
Calories burned off during arobics-840
My sister called me today, ugh and ugh, why can't she just be nice? Why is everything a competition to her? Why does she have to brag about every thing? Why does she have to call me up and complain about my pastor? Why must she make fun of me for exercising(she called while I was exercising and I refused to stop)?
I did laundry and cooked and cleaned and exercised and watched the MONK marathon on USA channel. My dd was home for today and I did not have grandbaby here. I miss him but it is nice sometimes just to have a day to myself.
Ok that was my day, I did talk to a good friend for a few minutes and that seemed to center me a little bit.
Good night everyone
God bless
