Sign me up! I'll be your first customer! I loved being the "neighborhood mom."
Can't wait to get to TV country club pools where (supposedly) all the kids hang out.

Oh Sam, I can sympathize. Left my two girlies in NC this morning and cryed for the first half hour of the drive.
I was so ready for a little free time and a lot less noise.....and then I cry when it is time to leave.... :'( :'(

Isn't being a grandparent one of the best things that has ever happened to you..... ;D ;D

Sitting in a lovely quiet hotel room right now and the silence is deafening. Just think by Sunday I will be visiting with the boys and the noise and fun will resume. ;D ;D

Beady, boys are wonderful, too. My granddaughter is a little mini-me, though. We are kindred spirits.

I only have little boy grandsons and let me tell you...when they are together it's "all hell break loose" time. All the hooting, yelling, screaming, arguing, laughing, all talking at once, running all over the place, crawling over and jumping on the beds/sofas/chairs, and each wanting undivided attention...it's deafening, nerve racking, and mind boggling.

Yet, I wouldn't trade these scenarios for any money in the world and thank God I can walk away, let the parents take charge, and sleep quietly in my own bed!

(Plus, I'd never admit I played a role in causing the ruckus...LOL.)

[samhass]

Bright....you cause a ruckus??? 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl

Today, after I cooked for vetman, I made my own special dinner for myself! Yummmm!

***I hate to cook, but it was worth it! ;D

Sam, your granddaughter will remember her fun visits to you for the rest of her life. She is lucky to have a grandmother who treasures her so much.

We are at the cottage (in Canada) for a long weekend, and have 10 people visiting us. They bring all the food. They do all the cooking and clean up. Life doesn't get much better than this. ;D

I started a very low carb diet 6 days ago. I am finally mentally ready to do it altho I thought it might absolutely kill me to stop eating the foods I love, but I am surviving!!!

Today I had some melon, cashews and ricotta cheese mixed with low fat jello, gag gag gag.

Im finally getting a little more tolerant of these new blah foods.
If anyone has some really easy suggestions , I mean like right out of the bag or box snacks I would be eternally grateful! Thankyou ::

Ronda, You were my inspiration!

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Hi Nonie, I know what you mean. CONGRATULATIONS

I was thinking of starting the post with 3 minutes on new diet and then do it minute by minute. ;D

I had requested one of the gastro surgeries and MD said no.

I have a refrigerator full of low carb foods except for green leafy veggies that have hardly any calories. Not one of the foods I am allowed to eat.

I have found that the easiest weight-loss program for me is to eat everything you enjoy but cut your servings in half. Lessen your food intake and that does it for me.

Unfortunately, meds can play a role in added weight which can be a losing battle.

PS: What good thing did I do for myself today? Didn't divide my servings!! yummmmm j/k
