Hey, I'm back!

I stayed up this morning checking out the forums that I belong to, then got sleepy at 1:00 p.m. and crashed on the recliner after I let Belle in (it was getting hot outside). But I didn't wake up until about 6:30 p.m.... Oh well, one of these days, I'll get it right... when I have something to stay up for.

I even had breakfast... in the MORNING!!! Amazing isn't it?

How are you doing, Mary!!! Sorry didn't mean to babblehttp://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i82/DMRgn/ANIMATED%20IMAGES/Smilies/blahblah.gif too much in your "Place"...

Mary

That's ok, Dot.. I enjoy reading about your experiences. :) I Hope you're having a good day.

I hope everyone else is, too.

Thanks Mary! Can I have a bottle of Bud Light? I am feelin' kinda like my old self again! (visualize Reese Witherspoon Sweet Home Alabama or Legally Blond) Well, thats what I sound like.
unfortunately, I don't look like her and funny southern accents don't translate over text!
Well, I'm gonna sit here and play with my new cell phone (dropped my other kayaking in the river) and wait and see if the old gang shows up....Lemme throw out the call code...like the bat symbol...

Hi .. hello.. how are you??? Where the heck have ya been? LOL

Oh, in and out... (mostly "out" - hee hee)... Went to church this morning... went out to eat, came home, turned on the computer... and here I am...

Oh, I still have trouble getting to bed on time... hopefully tonight will be better. Finally got my "hot flash" meds (they're not perfect, but they do help a little) AND my hubby brought home some earplugs for me... so hopefully, I'll take the hint (when my dog barks to go to bed) and go to bed. We'll see... It could happen!!!

How are you doing, Mary???

Hope okay.

Mary
07-20-08, 06:18 PM
LOL...my dog barks at me.. if I go past 1 now...and if I walk into a dark area of the yard at night.. she will drag me back.. by pulling on the leash.

Sounds like you had a good day today, though. :D

Wow!!! Did you have a nap after that? I would have...

Sounds good. We went to Grandy's after church. Actually, I just had a salad - didn't eat it all - too full from snacks that we have after church... probably should have ordered dessert at Grandy's. LOL:D

Anyway... Sounds good...

crikey I can be a cow ;)
I just posted this on our camera club web page for my friend ;)

"One comment I received a lot was how nice it is for members to share lifts, and how considerate it is for people who need a lift, to
offer to pay towards the cost of the trip. (especially those who ask to be picked up, dropped off....fed, watered, and entertained)

I found, since I had to take my 8 seater van, purely to add in a member who didn't have a car for the day, cost me well over $100 in fuel, plus
the present I got in appreciation for my friend, who kindly opened up her home to us, gave us a warm bed for the night, a hot shower..loads of coffee, and the offer of brekky. She didn't know the club members at all, so that was fantastic of her to allow a handful of strangers into her home

So, to those who contributed to the cost, thanks so much ( you all know who you are!)

For those who think we are happy to run around after you, pick you up, and drop you off..well over 40 minutes extra travel, without
any offer of even 1c petrol money...you can drive yourself next time ( you know who you are..)

The scones were fantastic "

We are so excited about the wildflower shoot that is coming up..

Anyone who is happy to share a lift to share the cost..ask me who NOT to take ;)

I've started exercising... going light at first. Hopefully.. I can get some weight off. I'm only supposed to do exercises while sitting because of the back injuries...so we'll see what happens.

The heat has been a huge drain on my energy lately.. so having to really stay inside.

As strange as it may sound for the UK, it's hot here too. I'm sitting here with a fan pointed at me and going non-stop. Thankfully we have this shopping centre that has air-conditioning so at least shopping isn't too much of a chore in the heat. I'm not a hot weather type person. Being a redhead I avoided the sun as much as I could. I don’t even mind staying in but we have to get the kids out sometime.

Hope everyone is having a good week.

Does it get very humid there, Blue? Our humidity in TX makes the heat index (?) higher than the actual temperature outside... So, I don't go outside much, or very long.

I would think if it does blow any air, it would be that your car's a/c is out of freon. But it probably would cost less to just stay indoors, if you can.

I wouldn't say humid no. It's probably not even that hot compared to some places. The trouble is we are not used to it, and so it seems to bring everything to a standstill and is then followed by a rain shower. I’m one of the lucky ones at least I don’t have to go out in it. I do feel for people who drive into London every day in this heat though. I have been told to stop complaining about the heat cause it will be cold again soon enough. That will just give me something else to complain about. I don’t like the cold either. lol

Bless your heart... I'm sorry you had a rough night, too. I hope you have a better one tonight.

I actually tried to go to sleep earlier. I went to bed, but couldn't sleep.. even with earplugs (sometimes they won't stay in, though:mad:).

But, Ravenna, I can sure relate... when my son was a baby and I'd take him to a lady's house - who had a daycare, sort of. But my son wouldn't sleep at night and it was bothering me because I had to go to work (I wished I had stayed home with him for his first 6 months and went back to work, at the school, the following school year - I could've done that). Then I found out that the lady who was keeping him and a bunch of other kids (with NO help), would let the kids sleep for THREE hours while she watched her soap operas... no wonder he wouldn't sleep. I showed up early the next day and saw them scurrying around in the house (her son and mother). And when I came in, they wouldn't let me back there. Then I noticed that all the diapers that I had in his diaper bag were still in there... she would wait until I got there to change his diaper. I finally took him out of there and took him to another daycare center at a church. She wouldn't let him crawl around, she'd keep him in a playpen or the high chair until I came and got him. I figured this out because when I got home and tried to put him in the high chair so I could get some housework done, he fought like crazy. The last time I took him to that lady's house, he fought me and clung to me and cried... then I cried on the way to work... I felt so bad. I (and my son) was a lot better after we got him out of there and in the church daycare center.

I had to tell this story because I didn't know how old (or young) your son is or if he's in school yet. Or if you work outside of your home and have to take him to daycare.

I'm sooooooooooooooooooo tired. Tomorrow.. I'll have more tomatoes to freeze. Geesh!

Bless yer heart, Mary... to bad I don't live near ya... I'd take some off your hands... I love tomatoes, especially homegrown ones! Well, hopefully, you'll have the strength to get 'em done, then rest!:)

Wish I could help ya, I would (but you'd have to show me what to do)!

Sorry that you've had a rough night.
Thanks Mary

He eventually crashed thank goodness :)

Bless your heart... I'm sorry you had a rough night, too. I hope you have a better one tonight.

I actually tried to go to sleep earlier. I went to bed, but couldn't sleep.. even with earplugs (sometimes they won't stay in, though:mad:).

But, Ravenna, I can sure relate... when my son was a baby and I'd take him to a lady's house - who had a daycare, sort of. But my son wouldn't sleep at night and it was bothering me because I had to go to work (I wished I had stayed home with him for his first 6 months and went back to work, at the school, the following school year - I could've done that). Then I found out that the lady who was keeping him and a bunch of other kids (with NO help), would let the kids sleep for THREE hours while she watched her soap operas... no wonder he wouldn't sleep. I showed up early the next day and saw them scurrying around in the house (her son and mother). And when I came in, they wouldn't let me back there. Then I noticed that all the diapers that I had in his diaper bag were still in there... she would wait until I got there to change his diaper. I finally took him out of there and took him to another daycare center at a church. She wouldn't let him crawl around, she'd keep him in a playpen or the high chair until I came and got him. I figured this out because when I got home and tried to put him in the high chair so I could get some housework done, he fought like crazy. The last time I took him to that lady's house, he fought me and clung to me and cried... then I cried on the way to work... I felt so bad. I (and my son) was a lot better after we got him out of there and in the church daycare center.

I had to tell this story because I didn't know how old (or young) your son is or if he's in school yet. Or if you work outside of your home and have to take him to daycare.
Thanks Dot

My son is 10 but he's never been a big sleeper (my 14 year old and I get insomnia pretty bad sometimes too - not that this helps me know if its adhd related or not because we all have it lol). We're playing with his meds at the moment because the doc thinks he cant sleep because his dose is too high (was 10mg normal rit and a 40 or 50mg concerta in the mornings - brain wont work so not sure of the dose there atm, and another 10mg at lunch.....now we're trialling 10mg normal rit and 30 or 40 mg slow release rit in the morning, again not entirely sure re dose there atm, and a catapress at night (not sure of the dose again...lol...) anyway the slow release is 10mg less and we're not having the top up at lunch, plus we're having the catapress - which we did try a few years ago without much luck but who knows...)

I had no end of trouble with daycares when they were smaller (been solo since the 10y/o was 6mths so Im so glad I dont have to deal with that anymore, now its just the schools...sigh.... but we've found some really great caring schools that are willing to work with us above and beyond the call of duty and its making a huge difference - my eldest went to 5 different primary schools and the youngest has been to 3, but we've been at the schools they are at now for about 3 or 4 years now (time periods are hard for me without a solid reference (eg, which house we were in, which job I was in etc) and right now I cant think of one, sorry)

I think I may have messed up the parenthesis there....I use too many lol....my mind skips about a bit, sorry.

Mmmm homegrown tomatoes....fresh off the vine and still warm from the sun....now THAT is a guilty pleasure!

I start so many vegie gardens with great enthusiasm but if anything makes it far enough to actually produce something edible it does it on its own because that was several obsessions ago and I dont even care enough do more than look at it and wish Id done more with it any time I happen to pass it lol...

Im almost hoping I DO get put on meds...maybe Id stick with something long enough to complete it.

>.. lmbo, hubby is ADD (undiagnosed) but we're still getting produce. We have had fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, green bell peppers, onions and new potatoes.. oh.. and one can't forget.. the first corn on the cob on Sunday. hehe!!

We even raise our own beef at the inlaws. Did raise a few pigs.. but father in law says it's too much. But then he went and got a few more calves and made more work for himself.

We had BLT's yesterday... lettuce, bread and mayo was the only things that weren't homegrown.. lol

Mary

I'm waiting until I get my other computer back.. this one is so slow.. it would just break up and not be fun to watch.

Every time I try and do something.. it freezes. UGH!!

p.s. I didn't have to do tomatoes today... but either tomorrow or Friday more will be ready.

Well, get some sleep, Mary, I'll watch the bar for a while (Hope I mix the drinks right - but I do know how to make a smoothie and a root beer float!

Anyone want a Root beer float?

Hey, y'all! Taking a Benadryl worked, I went to bed earlier and slept so good! And I didn't go back to bed... and don't feel tired!!! I'm going to have to do that again... and get my sleep scheduled straightened out once and for all!!! Besides if I sleep all day, then try to get on the 'puter shortly before my hubby gets home, and lets the dog in, and... turns on the tv... I can't concentrate anyway... so, this is better!!! Yay!!!

Hope I don't run out of Benadryl!

Oh, and after getting the blood sucked out by those pesky mosquitos, it helps to stop the itching so I can sleep...:cool::cool:

Hi! Sorry I don't do cooking. I live on brown bread and whatever filler I'm fancying at the time. Just now it's chicken tikka and lettuce.

I noticed that things were getting a bit quiet around here. Probably get going again when the kids are back in school.

I usually use the microwave for frozen dinners... etc... But every once in awhile I'll make tacos (sooooooooo good!)...

Sorry I didn't mean to say that I'll make tacos now (don't have all the ingredients-or do you have the ingredients, Mary?).

Might be a good idea to hire a caterer!

I'm back again..... hope everyone is doing well. :)

Yes, I am... but more importantly, hope you're doing well, Mary!!!:)

Good idea... maybe a caterer who understands ADD/ADHD'ers??? Probably doesn't matter... as long as we have $$ (for a little while, anyway), caterers should love us!:eek::D

But, a virtual caterer (for online "snack/drink" bars) should be free! The best things in life are free:rolleyes::D, well, almost:eek:
