Mom in High Heels Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Nope. Nope, nope, nope! James Bond and I are running away to Seattle for a few days and leaving the kids with my mom and stepdad. We will probably be giggling as we drive away! I plan on relaxing, having kid-free fun and maybe brewing up some hot, steamy TeA. :001_tt1: BTW, is the no rice thing helping at all? Also, I know you cook Philippine, but do you also know how to cook Japanese? James Bond fell in love with the food while he was in Japan and wants to cook more (read: wants me to cook more) Japanese style foods.

I do lots of stir-fries, use Japanese sauces and stuff like that. No rice helps my blood sugar numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I haven't been on much this week because I've been trying to spend quality time with the family. We've been playing board games a lot and watching movies. It's been great. I do have an urgent prayer request. My mom is in the hospital this morning waiting to go into ICU. She was vomiting some blood as well as passing some last night. Her blood pressure is low, too. She saw the liver specialist yesterday, and she is in liver failure. They had suggestions to manage it which could possibly extend the time she has, so they didn't give us a time frame. We are supposed to be heading to Greenville, SC today to visit my dh's grandfather (he's 100!). My mother had my sister call last night and insist that we still go. My dh hasn't seen him in a while. I was up most of the night after my sister called. I feel like I was almost having anxiety attacks or something. I'm also perimenopausal, so I'm sure that doesn't help. Going to Greenville today and to see her tomorrow were the only things I had as a to do list this weekend. Thanks for any prayers! I need to go back through the threads and read how everyone is. I hope you all are well and happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Good Morning, all! Well, today is indeed Saturday and Christmas is over. Had a good and crazy day with DH's family yesterday to finish up the family obligations. Today I relax and get some decluttering done. I need to clean off my dresser. The mess is several layers high. Hopefully DH can find the part to fix my dryer or I'll be taking several trips to my mom's house. Heels, have a wonderful time in Seattle! Wow! I'm envious! Amy, will be praying for your mom and safe travels for you! Have a good day, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Praying for you and your mom, Amy. Our handyman is coming to fix the bathroom stuff today. I am home all day as dh skipped out for dd1's morning practice and a hike. So I will get a bunch of stuff done (as long as the water doesn't have to be turned off). To do: Clean kitchen Clean master bath Laundry dust downstairs (it has been warm so windows have been open) Make a list of projects vacuum stairs and hallway I am itching to put away the tree, but that will have to be next weekend (I would never live it down if the tree came down before New Years). I need a new list of Habits for the New Year. So I will relax about them for a while. Have a great day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Good morning, everyone! Tress, our library used to loan out art but that was discontinued. I was sad when they stopped. Amy, praying. I am slowly feeling better but I am still pretty sick. My left eye is only open one centimeter this morning. I am so puffy. I am on prescription anti-inflammatories too so I know it would be so much worse if I wasn't on them. Just call me the Stay-puft marshamallow woman. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/301046678942?lpid=82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomtoCandJ Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Just finished making an appointment for dh to get a chip in his windshield fixed. (I didn't know we had free chip repair on his truck (not sure about my car though)). He was getting ready to turn into our drive when some impatient person decided to go around him and throw up rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Oh Amy :grouphug: I had anxiety attacks for several years, starting when my mom got sick and lasting until I sold my parents' house/closed their estate. Learning how to handle my stress was very difficult. :grouphug: Today --exercise, the Pilates I didn't do yesterday plus today's cardio --sort through clothing for donation and textile recycling And that's it! Dh is going nuts in the attic today, rearranging and sorting and tossing (recycle, donate, trash). Go dh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joannqn Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I've folded and put away two loads of laundry, washed DS11's new bedding, and have another load in both the washer and dryer.I managed to empty and put away one large box in the master bedroom.I cleaned the dining room table; it has sugar cookie icing cemented to it. I rearranged the dining room to make things fit better.I created my weekly menu and shopping list. DH and I went grocery shopping and had lunch together. When we got home, I put all of the food away and organized the fridge so I can find stuff in there. I had just shoved things in there haphazardly when we moved in.DH put DS11's bed together. He decided to put it in the most awkward placement possible for the room. Fortunately, I was able to convince him to rearrange the room to place the furniture in a much better configuration. After the furniture was moved, I made the bed with the new bedding. I washed some dishes and started dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Did not make it to the park or Costco. We took Mom out for a late lunch so no dinner plans for tonight As for coffee splurge, I'll skip that for today. I am 3 days coffee-free, even if it is decaf. I am now drinking decaf teas, and I hope the no-coffee headache goes away soon. It's strange to have this considering it was decaf coffee. Praying for all of you to have a restful Sunday, and prayers to all for family. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
