In Bed by Nine

Hi Everyone, I hope you have had a great week.

I had a great visit with my friend, it feels like forever since she left,

although it has only been since Thursday.

Yesterday was my Anniversary,

12 years and even though we both had the flu,

we managed to still be in love.

He did admit he is more the complainer than I.

These are some of the changes we have noticed

since we married twelve years ago.

-we used to stay out until two now we are in bed by nine.

- he used to tell me I had nice breasts, now I tell him his are nice too.

lol that might be more info than you need.

- we used to dance all night, last night we had one.

We used to have no idea what the other one was up to.

Now we can complete each others sentences.

What has satayed(Stayed) the same is our 

sense of humor and that we are still each others best friend.

We accept each other as we are, it makes life pretty good.

...............

Tomorrow I am posting a Giveaway on my 

other blog listed on the sidebar.

I hope you stop by to  check it out.

In the meantime have

Your Very Best Day!

New Discovery Sounds Trigger My Bad Eating!

Hi Everyone, thank you for the wonderful comments

on the last post, I finally got a chance to answer back to each one,

so thank you for your understanding.

I realized something new about myself today,

I knew I liked food because of visual presentation,

And there are certain smells that can be so tempting.

Today I realized that sounds trigger me into thinking of certain foods.

Bees buzzing in my garden makes me think of honey

and then peanut butter and honey sandwiches.

How silly is that.

I live in a city where I hardly ever hear the whistle of a train,

Tonight because of the way the wind was blowing

I thought of the farm where I grew up

and one of the favorite treats were

fresh homemade buns with butter and jam.

How do you go from a whistle blowing to that.

Birds singing in the morning makes me

want a morning coffee with creamer.

The sixties music makes me want Root beer and a Burger.

Now I am not saying always but it was surprising for me

to realize the correlation between the two.

Every evening at 530 the ice cream truck goes by.

playing the music that sounds like a fair,

and though I can't see the truck I automatically

start thinking ice cream and even cotton candy.

Batter out strike three

makes me want a hot dog.

Running the tub for a long bath

makes me want a glass of wine.

The sound of coughing and sneezing makes

me crave chicken noodle soup.

The sound of a crackling fire makes me want to

have marshmallows even though I don't

really like marshmallows.

The crack of a beer can being opened

makes me want to eat pizza.

and it is not my beer being cracked open.

The sound of an angry voice not even directed at me

makes me want some comfort food.

The sound of different accents

makes me crave certain foods.

I must be either a nut bar or a food addict.

Thank goodness when I turn on my treadmill

and I hear the beep, beep,

it makes me want to exercise.

Ha maybe I need to start wearing ear plugs for sounds that trigger me,

A really dark pair of glasses so I won't find food visually appealing.

Well I may as well get a noseclip so I can not smell any lovely aromas

Oh and I should wear gloves so that I won't be able to touch food either

although I don't think that really triggers me, unless I were to put a finger

in say mashed potatoes, yes you could not hold me back

and the shouting of encouraging voices saying

Cinner, no, no don't do it

hopefully would snap me back to reality

where hopefully I could pick up my dignity that has fallen

flashing its feet on the floor.

Egads do you think I woke up hungry?

I am starting to think so.

I will try to go back to bed but I know when that alarm

rings in the morning hubby better be out of the way

or a Cinner with dark glasses, wearing gloves,

a nose clip and one ear plug

will hit the floor running and when that fridge door

opens anything is game. It is a good thing I got my food

ready for tomorrow, it is also a good thing I can't drive

or I would be in line at Tim Hortons for a  Breakfast Baget,

a double double, oh and well just throw in a box of Tim Bits.

Just kidding I am going to stick to plan,

I am going to do everything I can to.

My nephews are leaving Friday

and I know when we say Good bye,

I will want to eat something right away.

Maybe it is a good thing that I am aware of what I do.

It is up to me to change my Triggers and to 

break my habits

So if you see me in line somewhere don't honk

that may make me think

I have quacked up.

I know this too shall pass.

Have a great day.

Do you have trigger sounds.

I would love to hear your stories.

Hard work, your kidding me!

Hi Everyone,

This recovery thing, though slow process

has been working out to my benefit....

Hubby is surprised at the amount of work

I usually do around here.

He is pitching in and helping.

He vacummed yesterday on his day off.

I had to go outside as it killed me to watch him.

I caught myself about to say something, and decided go outside,

let him be, appreciate his help, and bite my tongue.

I tend to be more thorough, he was wizzing through the house as

if there were a prize at the other end to get it finished as fast as he could..

He had worked up a sweat and then said, Oh that was hard.

I wanted to say Look after 13 years if you don't know it is hard work,

then your not doing it enough. Anyway this is good for me to give up some

of the control I have in the house.....I am learning it is not as important

as I make it out to be. ....I really do appreciate any help I can get.

Both of us remind the other that we really knew how to get dressed all by 

ourselves before we came into the others life.

Today I am having friends come over so that will be a nice change for me.

I hope you have a great day, are there things your partner does

that drive you crazy or do you find them endearing and one

of the reasons you love them.

........

Have a great day.

until next time,

Cinner

He was Chickened Out.

A stir fry with one big onion,

proof that I cooked and proof that it is not chicken.

Hubby phoned on his way home

informing me that he did not want any chicken.

Apparently he has had his fill with leftovers

from our Easter dinner on Sunday, which by the way was lovely.

So I quickly threw a stir fry together

beef,celery,mixed veg, one big onion.

Healthy yes.

I hear at the door, Honey I am home.

There he is with an order of spring rolls,

one lasagna and one donair.

I kid you not, it was like he had won the lottery or had just caught the biggest fish of the day.

He says, I brought supper, I say, I cooked supper.

I swear if  I had a chicken I would have tossed it at him.

No husbands were hurt in the conversation that followed.

I ate mine, which he confirmed looked very healthy.

He ate the lasagna and Spring Rolls and is taking the donair to work

for lunch. How I managed to not taste any of it is beyond me,

Must be the stubborn side of me.

He is watching hockey and I was sitting here smelling the 

lasagna that was calling my name.

I took the air freshener,

Hawaian Flowers and sprayed it in every room of the house.

I usually count to three, tonight yes ten sounds like a good number.

He is saying I think you sprayed too much of this, are you trying to kill me?

Oh did I spray too much I am so sorry. He looks at me, yeah right!

You know I know he meant well,

but if I eat anything unhealthy, it goes straight for the neck area,

and overnight I have another layer of chin.

I would have to change the name of my blog.

I guess we need to figure it out for tomorrow.

Planning is the best thing in this house.

............

Other than that I was outside today doing some yard work.

I scraped some more snow off the remaining pile in the yard.

The sun was such a treat today, I even dozed for a bit.

........

I hope all of you are doing well,

I hope you have 

One of your very Best Days.

                                                                            Be Well.

We almost needed Snow Shoes To Get Around!

We went to this park 

the other day

There was no one else in sight.

It really was beautiful,

The white of the snow made it exceedingly bright.

There was no laughter of children,

no one was showing off.

The playground was twisted metal,

so cold, calling to the children.

calling but unheard.

The wind was ripping around our faces

telling us it was time to go.

We held hands as we walked back to the truck,

laughing as we were all bundled up.

We talked about how beautiful life can be,

there is so much splendor all around.

we did talk about the snow melting,

and a green grass will grace the path beneath our feet.

We enjoyed our walk, felt rejeuvenated  and alive,

we got some exercise and were able to enjoy some time outside.

........

I hope you have a wonderful weekend,

make good choices, act like a kid,

laugh until your belly hurts,

turn your music up and dance,

and sing and smile

and love

and

be you.

Wonderful.

Unique, Beautiful,

Determined, full of will power,

King or Queen of

your Universe.

Love yourself.

It Erupted and went whizzing past my head.

I had my fair share of water today.

My day started good,

I woke at 9 pm and I could smell fresh perked coffee.

My phone rang and my sister in law was coming over about ten,

great just enough time for me to straighten things a bit.

I had my coffee which was the last in the pot.

I always enjoy my morning coffee,

then I went to put on a new pot so it would be ready when SIL

came to visit.,

and that is when my plans for the day blew up so to speak.

I turned the cold tap, I turned the hot tap and I felt it sllip as I turned it.

And there she blew, the hot water tap blew off hit my cupboards,

the tap fell somewhere and water shot out of my tap

spraying everywhere. keep this in mind about 3 inches around

with the force of  volcano. I tried to put a pot over the water

so that at least the water would go into the sink,

by this time I had about two inches of water everywhere..

the pot was not working so I got a great big towel

and then set a big painted rock on top of it.

Great it was going in the sink.

Now I know you are thinking well just shut off the hot water valves.

I can not get to them because they are in the crawl space,

and the trap door is too heavy for me to lift.

The sink was almost full, I got a bucket and started draining into the bathtub.

as soon as things seemed under control in the sink,

I called my husband at work.

I say Honey the hot water tap in the kitchen blew off,

He laughs and says, yeah right,

I think to myself are you kidding me.

I said I am serious and there is water everywhere.

Ok he says I will be there soon

It took him 45 minutes to show up from work,

He comes in and says did you lock up the cat,

what, well he needed to get into the crawl space and the cat tries to sneak down thee.

I say no I have not had a chance to catch the cat between buckets of water.

So he goes down stairs shuts off the water and then says are you okay,

Sure I am fine I say. I swear in the back porch I had freezing water back there,

my windows were so steamed up, my house felt like a sauna, looked like an ice rink and

a swimming pool.

Yes I am just peachy keen.

So he proceeds to fix it, which he had already done last Saturday,

and he says well that should hold it, should hold it,

I need a definate/////will hold it.

Okay honey I gotta go he says,

I kissed him goodbye and thanked him for saving the day.

As soon as he was out the door I headed for the fridge,

and stood there looking and thought why are you here,

what are you looking for.

I just wanted to eat something to feel better,

which I knew would make me feel worse.

So instead I grabbed some cold water,

sat on the couch, deep breathed and fell asleep

after two hours I woke and stood up and felt like I could hardly move.

I figure I lifted about 90 buckets of water

well it was one way to get a workout,

and I thought about water most of the day,

so I drank way over my 8 glasses.

Tomorrow I will finish washing all the towels and blankets

I used to sop things up with.

..............

Progress today was if this would have happened a year ago,

I would have been startled and the Cataplexy would have caused me

to fall and not be able to move. there could have been some serious damage,

and maybe I would have burnt myself.

So looking at the positive

I got to see my hubby a few moment in the day,

I got my floors washed., I got some exercise,

and now I have a reason to surf the net

for new taps and a new sink.

and I did not overeat.

Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow

and I don't mean water.

So how was your day?

                                               

A 2 day Break, it feels like a week.

The sun was beaming in the window this afternoon for about ten minutes.

It was the best ten minutes ever.

I sit right next to where these flowers were,

so I got some sunshine too,

The warmth was heaven.

Now these tulips put a huge smile on my face the other day

when Hubby brought them home.

As soon as I saw the bright pink and yellows

my spirits seemed to lift.

I laughed when I noticed the last time I posted

was Wednesday and here it is Friday,

but I feel  good again, so so much for a break,

My surgeries are just playing the waiting game to get in,

but I have restless nights because of the hernia,

so if I fall behind my sleep then I fall.

take for example last night,

I get up in the middle of the night go to the computer room,

after I am coming out, hubby is just coming out of the bedroom,

it was dark, I had not heard him and he says hey what are you doing up?

I was startled since I did not know he was there,

another thing that triggers Cataplexy is being startled,

my legs went limp and down I went,

Hubby turns the light on and is telling me You will be okay,

I can't answer but I am thinking to myself,

Put on some shorts for land sakes,

I am thinking this as I am sitting up.

I say to him, what were you doing in the hallway, and why did you scare me,

He says I thought you were sleeping,

 I was trying to be quiet.

I said to him Maybe next time you are helping me you could be wearing your pjs.

That is not what I want to be seeing when I am lying on the floor.,

and now he had me laughing again.,

the look on his face was priceless and I was just thinking,

please stop making me laugh, I just want to get up and walk

and go to bed. Finally we make it there and he asks if I am okay,

yes I am fine, I thanked him for helping me up.

I told him we need to figure out a system so that does not happen again.

you just never know when it will hit.

About a half an hour ago, the light goes on in the bedroom,

I hear in his deep voice, Just letting you know I am going through.

Okay thanks, all was good.

Thank you God Amen I muttered to myself.

.....................

sleep, soup, water, was my regime the last few days.

the flowers above were to make me feel better,

which they did.

Hubby said when he gave them to me,

 Its  good time to get them after Valentines day.

they were on sale, and they were right at the counter,

I started to laugh, he just makes me laugh all the time,

thats why my sleep is so important.

............

I have thought if I ever wrote a book these might be some good titles,

I am Falling Down Again,

Laugh Until It Hurts

Dying Laughing

Another Laughing Matter

Laughter Can Really Hurt

.............

Sorry I am rambling on. Thank you all for your kind wishes.

Oh and Best News of All.

Hubby and I are starting to work out in the morning.

that should be fun.

as for the rest of the day I don't think

we will be venturing far,

it is minus forty here with the wind chill.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend,

remember life is what we make it.

Laugh at yourself and the world laughs with you.

remember we can do anything and everything

as best as we know how.

Be Your Very Best and I hope you

 Have Your Very Best Day Ever!

Cinner

I Love Me A Mug Shot!

I Don't know where we got these,

They came in a box of items with my husband.

No the husband was not  in a box,

they were.

Such Weird Little Ones,

that I kind of thought they were cute.

And in the box was this guy.

I am thinking to myself,

are you kidding me.

Well it used to be his Dads and his Mom no longer wanted it in the house,

so Particular Son received this from his Dad,

Well how can you say no to that.

And this guy, something about the facial expression

kind of gives me the willies

but it was a gift from his Mom,

and it used to be his Dads,

so there you go with that one.

This one the same thing, I really do like this one

It just reminds me of a jolly guy.

And oh not one but 3 boxes of baubble heads and trophies.

I think there should be a law that at the age of 58

you donate them to little children,

but apparently big kid husband

will have no part of that.

My Dilema is Where do you put these things

in an 860 square foot house.

I even asked him,

and he replied put them by all those flowers you have everywhere.

.....................

So no matter what in life there are things we have to deal with.

Some things you can see, and somethings are hidden in our souls.

somehow we all find the right way, what may work for you, may not work for me,

Compromise, learning and acceptance,

And somehow it all works out

Bauble heads and all.

....

I hope you have room in your heart for others today.

Do you have any odd things in your house,

I would love to hear about them.

Have a fabulous day.

Take care.,

I'll Have Another!

Are you drinking enough,

and I don't mean wine,

although occasionally I like a red wine,

but I am talking water.

I am battling with water a couple of ways this week.

I am having a hard time drinking my full eight glasses,

I have a hernia and have been drinking lots of ginger ale,

seems to be the only thing that gives me any relief.

I see a surgeon on Feb. first,

I have a few other stomach problems

so I am anxious to get that consultation over with..

As for my other water problems,

we have had so much snow,

freezes, thaws, rains, snows,

and is starting to collapse a bunch of roofs mostly on large flat buildings so far,

Yesterday I noticed a discoloration on my one wall,

it was dry but definately a leak,

running down the one wall,

maybe I am supposed to be happy

and think I have started Spring cleaning early, lol.

so I think the ventilation in the attic must be frozen,

Hubby will be getting up there on the weekend.

Rained yesterday, streets and sidewalks were like skating rinks.

Two weeks ago it was minus 38, yesterday plus 7

which is usually unheard of for this time of year.

I keep walking on my treadmill,

making healthy choices.

One Day at a Time.

Have a great day,

Do something fun, Act Like a Kid,

Enjoy Your Day

Posture, Shoulders Back, Stomach In!

How are you all doing? Things are good here in Alberta.

Of course it is snowing, but the light and fluffy kind.

Tomorrow should not be too bad of a day for shoveling.

I guess it depends whom is holding the shovel.

I am working on better posture.

My mother would always say shoulders back,

back then I think I was just trying to hide the girls,

I can hear her....one day you will regret this.

Now I hear myself saying it to my nephew.

No slouching.

So I have been walking around here with my shoulders back

and I have to say it hurts walking like this.

And I think I have not bad posture.

But I sure can notice this.

Not only that but for some reason I feel healthier with me doing this,

it should help with my lower back problems as well.

I have been doing great with the eating. always helps having the right food ready.

Me and Mr. GiddyUp are bonding,  I am up to eight minutes at a time.

And one day I did that three times a day.

The next day I was really feeling it so sticking to eight minutes for this week,

then 10 next week.

drinking lots of water,

Yesterday hubby came home with a box of Tim Hortons Tim Bits.

Round doughnuts.

I stopped him at the door and I said, OUT, OUT, GET OUT.

He put them in the truck, came back to the house, I met him at the door.

We were both laughing, I told him he can do just about anything he wants,

but don't bring me any crap....He said it was just a treat for doing so good.

I said I did not need a treat, that I just need him not to bring it into the house.

He phoned tonight to see if I wanted him to pick anything up ?

Picture a dazed deer in the headlight look...

Lord give me strength.

I laughingly said No, I don't need anything and then I asked him to remember

whether he wanted in the house or not and how badly he wanted to watch the hockey game.

If he shows up with pizza, I am sending him to the neighbors.

Are'nt you glad you don't live on my street.

hope your all having a great week.

Until next time,

please know any of my comments about my hubby

are said in jest and that I really truly love him.

He is not too worried about being let in the house.

Maybe it is because he knows he could get to the back door quicker than I.

Be well and be good to yourself.

Others Stories Can Be So Beneficial.

Good afternoon Everyone,

Man I am running late today.

I have more energy today than I have had probably in two years.

I had one of the best sleeps I have ever had.

For someone whom has a Serious Sleep Disorder,

it can be so amazing when this happens.

So I am running late because I have done quite a bit around my house.

Whooo  Hooooo!

Now the trick is to not overdo it.

I have already been on my treadmill for 15 minutes,

that felt so far away a month ago.

My advice to anyone whom has no energy is to walk even two minutes a day for a start.

I started at 2.5 minutes because that was all I could do, and I will keep adding when I can.

I have to Thank my friend SueAnn from SueAnns Journey

She had written that when she first started walking she was

at about the same pace as me, but slowly she kept at it,

and over time she has gotten up to 4.5 miles.

Because of her I can see myself getting out of my house more,

I have hope for the future, and I see the weight going down.

Encouragement is a wonderful thing,

I hope you check out her blog,

she is multi talented, artist, dollmaker,

you will not be sorry, she also has had gastric bypass

and has lost an incredible amount of weight.

She knows how important it is to exercise.

Everyone comments on my blog has been highly motivational for me

and I want you all to know how much I appreciate your comments.

.............

Other good news is I have reached my first 20 pound goal,

very excited by that!

And secondly Mr Hubby brought groceries home last night,

all healthy food, this is a major change for him to make,

it was better than a bouquet of flowers!

.............

For those of you whom celebrate Halloween,

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

and everyone else I wish you a wonderful weekend as well.

Stay positive, Keep your Chin up,

oh I may have to change the name of my blog to 

Me, my 3 chins and I,

but I won't because I want to remember where I started from,

so as not to ever get there again.

Hugs to you all.

I Am Having An Affair!

Well I have to get something off my chest,

I am in love with my treadmill,

I have been visiting in the morning and afternoon,

And Monday night in the middle of the night,

I wanted to go visit.

I decided against it as my hubby lay sleeping.

He would probably hear me breathing fast and think I was dreaming,

and come to check on me, so I lay in bed watching the clock

counting the minutes until I could step on it again.

I named my treadmill.

His name is Musta.

drum roll please..

Because I Musta have to walk every day.

..............

the only one that is not impressed with my new toy,

is my dog. He just can not figure out how come I  am walking,

and he is just sitting looking at me all glum and dreary eyed!

Ah a good belly rub and he will be fine,

Betrayal forgotten.

..........

I had a serious circulation problem,

since walking and drinking more water and cutting way back on bread,

my legs are not throbbing at night.

Whoo Hooo...progress!

How are you all doing with yours?

I would love to hear what is working for you!

.........

So Wednesday morning when I wake up,

I am going to look in the mirror,

smile, tell myself to keep going, because I  am worth it,

I believe, I believe, I believe,

in all the effort I am putting into me

Try it

I am going to have 

My Very Best Day Ever!

...........

Now I have that song I am A Believer

running around in my head.

Be well, until next time.

Cinner

ISometimes YOU just gotta shake your head....

As I play in my yard.

the cat is never too far away,

which some days is ok.

The other night I was sound asleep,

and I awoke to her sitting on my shoulder

and as I moved she slipped and tried to stop her fall,

The claws came out, and let me say

one of my girls got caught in the middle,

I screamed, the cat jumped down, my husband jumped up,

and says What the hell is going on?

Gee he seems a little grumpy

He proceeds to tell me when I am sleeping

to not let the cat sleep on me.

I am thinking, it was my chest that got scratched,

don't you want to see, let me show you.

Better put some polysporin on that scratch

Well alrighty then, I will  do just that.

Don't let the cat sleep on you honey,

he must be cheering up.

I  am thinking to myself,

I wear a CPAP machine at night,

that has a long hose that the cat

thinks is a string of yarn.

There is no door on the bedroom,

it is just the two of us in the house.

So I say, maybe we need to get a door to keep the cat out.

No reply, I waited......I reached out and said

Hey are you awake.

he says,

Why did you wake me up?

I could not resist, I said, Sorry I thought the cat was sitting on you,

You really should not let the cat sleep on you.

He says how would I know she was there if I am sleeping.

.....................

Lord, please give me strength,

that is what I said to him earlier.

................................

The next morning

he asked how I had slept and I knew he remembered nothing,

When I was getting dressed he said honey what happened to you,

You have a big scratch,

I said oh that was just the cat,

He said, maybe we should put a door on our bedroom.

......................

I  think I may need a vacation!

How ridiculous are some of your conversations?

I would love to hear about it.

.............................

I hope you have your 

Best Day Ever.

.........

just letting you know,

no cats or husbands 

were injured.

Great Job, A Star.

 

Here is a star for all of us whom are trying our best,

to live healthier lifestyles.

for making better choices,

and for not beating yourself up when you don't!

............

Does anyone know what the name of this flower is.

......................................

At 6 am I am going to exercise to the show Shimmy.

Katie J got me on this kick.

So I thank her for it.

...............

My husband told me I don't quite have the moves down.

and I said sarcastically, Really are you sure!

Then I said, can you show me how?

He quickly went off to ball practise.

Bless his heart.

...................

I hope you all have one of your Best Days Ever!

take care,

Goldfish, Robins, Salmon and Snow!

 

Here I am editing this photo of one of my sisters goldfish,

And I am being distracted.

I let the dog outside about 15 minutes ago,

there was snow falling to the ground,

big fluffy flakes,

and though I saw the beauty,

I thought to myself.

Shite, Shite, Shite,

And now I am listening to a Robin,

and its beautiful singing,

when nothing else is heard,

except for my old dog snoring at my feet.

I wonder is the Robin looking for food this early,

just like the goldfish up above,

which reminds me that I am hungry,

but I will wait for breakfast,

yogurt, berries, and oatmeal.

I bet the Robin is finding worms

before the ground is covered in snow.

I can still hear it softly singing,

but I know  it is further away,

What a story it is telling.

I can now here the snoring of my husband

from the next room,

and I decide

that all is so peaceful here,

that back to bed I shall go,

but I will go take out a Salmon for supper,

to have with brown rice and a vegetable.

I check the window

and the snow is still coming down,

the Robin is still singing and searching,

my cat just jumped up on my printer,

and the dog got up to see,

I picked up the cat, sent the dog upon his way,

I jumped into bed,

Thinking,

It is way too early to start my day.

I roll over to hug my husband,

and he shivers at my touch,

My hands are cold, my heart is warm,

The last thing I remember,

is that I love him much.

Community Gardens and Training Wheels.

 

This is one of the Community Gardens 

That we drove by when we were in Vancouver.

It is right downtown,

very well taken care of,

what surprised me was that nobody had seemed to do any type of damage.

I wonder if they get raided in the summer for the food to eat.

....................

This year I have decided to have a few big pots so I can always have fresh lettuce,

green onions, maybe some herbs, tomatoes, pole beans.

Then I am going to eat salad every day,

I have banished all breads from my house,

I will be getting on my bike tomorrow.

Wish me luck, I hope I can keep it standing,

Last year every time I  would get going at all,

I would have a cataplexy spell and fall off,

I have a Helmut, seeing how it goes I might have to put training wheels on it.

Last year my hubby wanted me to get one of those tricycles.

I was just not ready yet.

I have had to use a wheelchair to get around a bit lately,

But I am not ready to admit defeat.

I am not a quitter.

Wish me luck.

Have a great weekend.

My new motto is to Get Active.

Premies, Ice Cappucinos and Trucks.

I just loved this picture when I saw it,

And what a precious little face,

that really could be me when I was a child.

I was born 3 months premature,

and this is a thought I have,

the smaller you are when you are born,

the bigger you are in later years.

Now I am saying this because of other premies that I have talked to.

The smallest was an Uncle of mine that was one and a half pounds at birth.

He was about 6 feet 6 and maybe 350 lbs.

What do you think of my theory?

My other theory is that maybe food was pushed at us to make us grow guickly,

and therefore none of my wieght gain has anything to do with any bad habits that I have been responsible for. 

Sometimes I know not what I do as I reach for the Ice Cappucino at the 

Tim Hortons drive threw.

The man behind the window says,

Hey Lady, your husband could pass this to you.

I sit back in my seat and  think, now, now act like a lady.

So I wait for my husband to pass it ever so slowly,

...I think to myself, hurry up, hurry up.

Finally it is in my hands,

my husband accelerates on the gas,

and I just about lost an eye being poked with the straw!

I felt like crying like the baby in the picture,

but instead I remain calm and get that Ice Cappucino into focus,

and Dear ole Hubby slams on the breaks,

thrusting me forward only to be saved by my seatbelt,

Saddly to say the Ice Cappucino was not held in by a seatbelt,

so some was thrown on the dashboard, which also splashed a lovely design on the windshield,

some on my lap and on the floor of his shiny truck.

He says Shite, I say I know, I did not even get to taste any of it.

He says, I am talking about my clean truck!

I say it is your fault, your the one that slammed on the brake.

He says would you have preferred me to hit that car ?

I say Look you must be in a bad mood, and I don't want to argue with you.

He says do you want another ice cappucino?

I am thinking to myself, oh I wonder what else he has planned for me,

probably wants me to see if I can lose the other eye.

I say, no thanks I will just have water when I get home.

He says good for you!

I am thinking to myself, Are you kidding me, of course I want an Ice Cappucino!

However I did not admit this and you know what I enjoyed my water

while he was out cleaning the truck.

Note to self,,,,,I wonder what he would have done if I wanted an Ice Cappucino

and a donut, Lord, I might not be here to type about it.

We were both chuckling about it later in the day.

So I have to report because of the above happenings,

I really did have a good day making the right choices with a little help from hubby.

No eyes were lost and no vehicles damaged in this incident.

How was your day?
