It is really windy and cold out there. The poodle just ran out, did his business, ran back in and climbed under his blanket. Sure wished I had the camera ready as all that is sticking out of the blanket is his nose. LOL!!!!!<br /><br />It has been one busy week, but the house is clean and I get to relax this weekend. I do need to do a bit of laundry but that is all. I am hoping to get on Facebook and figure that out some more.<br /><br />I also need to work on the family tree some and have recently connected with some of my df's side of the family.<br /><br />Surgery is back on for dh's back. The spine specialist is going to talk to his partner about the fracture in dh's pelvic area to see if anything can be done for that. If something can be done, they will try to do it at the same time they do the back surgery. We should know in 1-3 weeks if the surgery has been approved. Work comp takes its time. Than after surgery, it could take up to 6 months before he gets back to work. Poor guy will be crazy by that time. DH is one to always be doing something. He has done alot of remodeling to make it easier for me. He also put in laminate wood flooring all through the upstairs and was working on the basement last year before all this happened. He is itching to get started again, but knows that he is unable to do it. All of the remodeling has taken well over 2 years, but it was so worth it.<br /><br />I hope that everyone had a good week and that the weekend is even better.<br /><br />Hugs and Prayers,jm46http://www.blogger.com/profile/10942661621497666206noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072087854938486724.post-45206523031547464502009-02-17T08:08:00.002-06:002009-02-17T08:15:07.592-06:00Free day......Today is a free day for me. My dh and I got the place<br />all cleaned up yesterday as my sil was suppose to come<br />by for coffee and to pick up something. Well, she stopped<br />by but just to pick something up. I was really disappointed<br />but got to thinking about it and decided that it was actually<br />ok as that made today my free day. I guess it was a blessing<br />in disguise.<br />I do need to clean out some dresser drawers and might do<br />some of that today as it is on the agenda for tommorrow.<br />But if I do a few 15 minute boogies on them today, that will<br />be less to do tommorrow and more free time on that day.<br />Yes, I think that I will do that. I love my free time.<br />I am still trying to figure out face book and Ida told me<br />that she has account there so maybe we can be come<br />buddies.<br />Hugs and Prayers to all<br />And Thank You for reading my blogjm46http://www.blogger.com/profile/10942661621497666206noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072087854938486724.post-82713405511560896232009-02-16T10:45:00.003-06:002009-02-16T10:55:39.136-06:00Learning Face BookA friend of mine told me about face book and<br />I am trying to learn it.

DH helped cook<br />dinner and even helped clean up the mess.<br />We just spent a nice relaxing evening at home.<br />With his back, we thought that it would be better<br />to go out for dinner later during the instead of<br />trying to be in the crowds.

predicting more on its way. From what I understood<br />
it was suppose to start last night. Thank goodness, it<br />
didn't. I really need to listen to the weather some time<br />
today to see if it is on its way still or if we were lucky<br />
and it missed us.<br />
I don't have much planned for the day except to do<br />
some light house cleaning. Just really need to do a <br />
load of laundry, dust and vaccum and mop the floors.<br />
I also need to catch up on some e-mails that I should<br />
of done a couple of days ago. But that won't take long.<br />
The pup is back to normal and running around like she<br />
is crazy. I will be so glad when it gets warm, so that we<br />
can go for walks. It is just to cold for me to do it in the <br />
winter. I end up in so much pain, so do indoor exercises<br />
during the winter months.<br />

I love to<br />spend time with her and this is a great<br />way to do it. Of course, I share and send<br />some home with her. That way if she isn't<br />in the mood to cook, she can put something<br />in the oven and supper will be done.<br />On Monday, we found out that DH needs<br />to have a bone scan done on Thrusday.<br />One of his tests shows that he has a<br />fracture in his left pelvis. We are not<br />sure if this is because of his back injury<br />or what is going on. He also has some<br />abnormalities on his right pelvis.

I love the rain in the<br />spring and summer, but in the winter it can be a pain<br />if the temps drop.<br />I am so glad that I didn't get the floors mopped yet.<br />The dogs will be tracking in mud. I am trying to teach<br />the pup to wait until I wipe her feet off but she just<br />comes running in. She does go to her kennel when<br />told so I make her wait there until her paws are<br />dry and just take a damp cloth to wipe the prints<br />up.<br />My hands are feeling some what better, but they<br />are still swollen so will do little things today that<br />need to be done. I do need to go to MIL's some<br />time today.<br />Thanks to all that leave comments on my thread<br />Hugs and Prayersjm46http://www.blogger.com/profile/10942661621497666206noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072087854938486724.post-34331555286824438862009-02-08T09:43:00.024-06:002009-02-08T10:02:35.100-06:00In MAJOR PAIN TODAY.............I have been off for a few days trying to get my house in order<br />
and than.......DH throws a wrench in it...<br />
Yesterday, DH decided to get 2 recliners that his mom had <br />
given us. I explained to him that before we brought them <br />
over I wanted to get the living room set up so that all we had<br />
to do was put them into place. So, we started doing that but<br />
couldn't quite figure out how we wanted the furniture, so off<br />
we go to get the recliners. Now, my whole house is trashed!<br />
There is furniture all over in the living room, kitchen and hall.<br />
We bring the recliners in and rearrange the other furniture<br />
about 10 times and still can not figure it. Now the whole time<br />
this is going on DH keeps running back and forth to check<br />
his cell phone as a friend of his wants DH to help him build <br />
a deck around his pool. Which is fine, but we have this major <br />
rearranging project in the living room. Finally, after about a<br />
hour or so of this, the living room is still not done but I get<br />
really fed up with DH paying more attention to his phone<br />
than the task at hand, I tell him to go to his friends. Which he<br />
does, so while he is gone, I figure out the furniture and get<br />
the living room all set up and put the rest of the house back<br />
in order. DH comes home about 4 hours later and loves it.<br />
I still needed to fix dinner, luckily it was ham balls and all<br />
I needed to do was make rice or noodles to go with it and<br />
heat up the ham balls. I had only sat done about 10 minutes<br />
before DH got home, so he fixed dinner. But, I am really <br />
a hurting unit this morning. My hands are killing me, so for<br />
today, I am relaxing and giving them a break. I do need to<br />
vaccum and mop the floors, but that will be done on Monday<br />

any time soon. My nephew had to have surgery and called<br />
us early in the morning and asked if we could come to the<br />
hospital. Of course, we went. Which means that nothing <br />
got done here at home.That is ok as, it was more important<br />
to be there for him. We did have to explain to him that we<br />
would not be there when he woke up as DH had a dr appt<br />
with the spine specialist. He was ok with that and they took<br />
him in to surgery at 1228 and we had to leave at 1230. His<br />
surgery went well and he is doing fine.<br />
At dh's drs appt, we had to watch a video about the surgery<br />
for his back. We have to wait for work comp to approve it,<br />
so who knows how long that will take and than he will be off<br />
work at least another 6-8 weeks after that. He is so bored and<br />
fraustrated. <br />
After that we were heading over to mil's when her security com<br />
called us and told us that her alarm went off. Now, we know that <br />
she is home as she just had knee surgery so we find out that it is<br />
her medical alert that went off. Luckily, we were just a few minutes<br />
away so we told them to hold off calling the police as we were all<br />
most there. We get there and let ourselves in and find her with her<br />
walker in the bathroom. She accidetally hit the button but couldn't <br />
get to the phone to let them know that she was fine. We call the<br />
security company and tell them that all is well. We also told her that<br />
she needs to take a phone with her just in case.<br />
By the time we got home, I was exhausted. I know that I didn't eat<br />
well or get my water in. Today is a new day and will be starting over<br />
I also need to get things done that was suppose to be done yesterday<br />
and work on what needs to be done today.<br />

have just felt blah. Maybe it is the weather, even<br />
though yesterday was beautiful. Maybe, it is that<br />
it is winter and I do have a bit of seasonal depression.<br />
Or maybe, it is stress. Who knows!!!!!<br />
I did lose 3 lbs in Jan. Was hoping for more, but will<br />
take what I can get. I am sure that me not getting all<br />
my water in isn't helping. I have a tried everything that<br />
I can think of to get myself to drink my water. Flavors,<br />
teas, not drinking coffee until I had at least 16 oz of water<br />
gone, and even trying the treat myself with something if I<br />
get all my water in. But, it hasn't worked. The no coffee<br />
until I had 16 oz of water gave me a terrible headache and<br />
I drink decaf coffee.<br />

We have to keep the pup calm, so we have to<br />
take her outside on leash. This morning, she was up and needed<br />
out, so I just put on shoes and my coat. Well, that was the wrong<br />
thing to do......LOL I was about frozen when we came back in 5<br />
minutes later. She would of stayed out longer to play if I had let<br />
her......LOL<br />
I have gotten my morning routine done and am now getting ready<br />
to clean out the ice box. Today is our trash day, so it will be picked<br />
up and I won't have to worry about the strays getting into it. I do<br />
really need to figure out a easier way of keeping it clean as that is<br />
one thing that I really hate to do. Any and all suggestions are wel-<br />
come.<br />

She was having<br />some problems walking but that is to be understood<br />as the vet had given her some pain meds for the ride<br />home. She did pretty good on the way home until she<br />had a accident in DH's truck. I tried to get that cleaned<br />up when we got home, but there is only so much that<br />I could do with it freezing outside.<br />She slept most of the day and only ate 1/2 of what she<br />normally does in dog food, but loved the cookies that<br />I made for her on Monday. I also gave her some dog<br />biscuits and cheese. Had to give her some meds and<br />she will take that with the cheese, but didn't want<br />it to upset her tummy.<br />I took her out this morning, and she is acting a bit<br />more normal, so that is a good sign that she is feeling<br />better. We have to keep her as calm as possible until<br />the 6th of Feb. so that the internal stitches heal and<br />dissolve. That will be a chore!!!!!<br />Hugs and Prayersjm46http://www.blogger.com/profile/10942661621497666206noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072087854938486724.post-48230340679592357652009-01-26T11:33:00.001-06:002009-01-26T11:36:47.322-06:00Doggie CookiesI just finished making the dogs some peanut butter<br />
doggie cookies. They both love them and are usually<br />
under my feet when I am making them. I figure that <br />
the pup deserves a special treat when she comes <br />
home from the vet tommorrow.<br />
The house is all clean and the dishes are done. I have<br />
one load of clothes in the washer. So, will have that <br />
done in a bit. <br />
Not much planned for the day as it is snowing and <br />
I woke up really early. <br />

sleep. I guess that my internal clock needs to to be<br />
rebooted on the weekends. LOL!!!!!!!!<br />
Today, it is suppose to be windy and than,this evening<br />
the snow is suppose to start and end sometime Monday<br />
morning. I am hoping that it won't be to bad out as Monday<br />
morning, we take our pup to get spayed.<br />
I have most of my morning routine done already and<br />
am now relaxing with a cup of coffee and listening to<br />
the radio. We don't have plans for the day yet. We <br />
might do something before the snow starts. DH and <br />
I cleaned the house yesterday, so we don't need to<br />
worry about that. I know that on the <a href="http://www.flylady.net/">"FLY"Lady</a><br />
system, she does a <a href="http://www.flylady.net/pages/FlyingLessons_ControlJournal5.asp">weekly home blessing</a> on Mondays.<br />
But, I really like to do one of Friday night or Saturday<br />
mornings, so that I really don't need to worry about the<br />
house. I can relax and enjoy the weekend with my<br />
family.<br />

According to the<br />
doctor there is no nerve damage, so that is good news. Now, it is back to the waiting<br />
game until they set up the surgery. <br />
My MIL will be having surgery to remove bone tumors on her knee next Thrusday, but<br />
we are not sure if we will be able to be there. It all depends on when they schedule <br />
DH's. My SIL will be there with MIL so am not to worried.<br />
I have been doing pretty good on keeping the house picked up, so it doesn't look to<br />
bad, but do need to vaccum and dust today. I should also clean out a couple of my<br />
dresser drawers but think that I will just take it easy today. <br />
The weather here is now really cold and it is a big shock as yesterday it was warm and<br />
alot of our snow had melted. We are suppose to get snow this weekend. Yuck!!!!!!!<br />

Both<br />
of us were getting upset and ended up snapping at one another.<br />
It wasn't over anything big, just little stuff that finally broke the <br />
camel's back as they say.<br />
We did get something accomplished. DH, now, has his appointment<br />
for the nerve test on his legs. From what we understand, the case<br />
worker approved it but wanted him to go to Kearney, Ne. Now,<br />
he has problems riding in the car just here in Omaha, how in the<br />
world would he make that trip, than do the test, and than come<br />
home. He would be in so much pain. To drive to Kearney, it is<br />
about 3 hours one way. The poor man can't sit for 30 minutes in<br />
his chair. But we finally got it approved for here in Omaha. His<br />
test is scheduled for this Thrusday. After the test we will know<br />
how much nerve damage there is and what to expect after the <br />
surgery.<br />
I do think that one of the reasons that we are snapping at each <br />
other is that we are not use to him being around 24/7. I know <br />
that it is throwing off my routines and things that I normally do<br />
through out the day. I also know that he is upset because of not<br />
working. Both of us in pain isn't helping the situation either.<br />

It just seems to<br />cut right through me. Actually, I should say that the cold is<br />what bothers me the most as the colder it gets the more I hurt.<br /><br />I finished my morning routine and have started decluttering<br />my spare bedroom closet. It is actually my dd's room, but since<br />she moved out, dh and I decided to make it the spare room. I<br />have been doing really well on getting rid of things that I don't<br />love, don't need or is trash.<br />I still need to work on my cookbooks that I have collected or that<br />have been given to me. That is one of my down falls. I love<br />cookbooks. LOL!!!!! I love to cook!!!!! Really don't like the cleaning<br />up part, but you have to make a mess sometimes!!!!!! Tonight dh<br />wants pizza, so that will be a quick and easy meal. I love the WW<br />deep dish pizza, but will make 2 thin crust pizzas tonight as I want<br />mushrooms, peppers, and other veggies on mine and dh doesn't eat<br />to many veggies.<br />Hugs and Prayersjm46http://www.blogger.com/profile/10942661621497666206noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072087854938486724.post-38777567593319913412009-01-14T21:26:00.003-06:002009-01-14T21:35:48.567-06:00Still cold...........It is still really cold out and all I want to do is curl up<br />with my electric blanket.

I was hoping that he would make<br />soup or stew, but nope he wanted steak.<br /><br />I think that I might make some homemade bread in<br />the morning. I do have a bread machine so will mix<br />the dough in there, but bake it in the oven to help<br />heat the house.<br /><br />I did get the pantry and the living room closet all<br />cleaned out. I do need to make a list of what I have<br />so I can get it used up and purchase what I need.<br />I also started cleaning out my kitchen cupboards.<br /><br />I hope that everyone is staying warm<br />Hugs and Prayersjm46http://www.blogger.com/profile/10942661621497666206noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072087854938486724.post-50511986898036406972009-01-13T08:25:00.002-06:002009-01-13T08:38:17.758-06:00It is Cold..............I am sitting here this morning in my pjs with a cup of coffee.<br />Just finished letting the dogs back in and about froze....LOL<br />It is below zero here this morning, but the wind is terrible.<br />It just cuts right through you.<br /><br />I have been working on trying to do menu planning, but just<br />can't seem to get that going. I usually ask dh what he wants<br />as I get tired of always cooking the same old thing. DH is a<br />meat and potatoes guy and doesn't eat that lots of veggies<br />So, that is a problem as lots of reciepes call for veggies that<br />he won't eat and you can't sub in what ones he will eat.<br /><br />I need to get in gear and finish up my morning routines<br />done. The are about half way done and it will only take<br />a few minutes to finish them and get some other cleaning<br />done<br /><br />Hugs and Prayersjm46http://www.blogger.com/profile/10942661621497666206noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072087854938486724.post-42136060720980936322009-01-11T05:29:00.002-06:002009-01-11T05:52:29.855-06:00I have been Tagged.......I've been tagged!<br />I've been tagged by Anne at <a href="http://peekaboostreet.blogspot.com/">http://peekaboostreet.blogspot.com/</a>.<br /><br />My first thing to do is......<br />Name 5 things in my purse:<br />1. keys<br />2. hand lotion<br />3. chap stick<br />4. checkbook<br />5. wallet<br /><br />Next is to<br />Name 5 things in my work room<br />I don't have a work room but the room that I spend most of<br />my time in is the kitchen so I will name items in there.....<br />1.

I am feeling much better now, but spent all day in bed. I have finally straightened up the house and got that back into order. It didn't take a lot of time to do that as dh was not feeling well either.<br />The dr. wants to do a nerve study of dh's leg before the surgery so we will know what to expect after back surgery. We are still waiting for work comp to approve that test, so we are not sure when the surgery will be. DH will be in the hospital at least 2 days maybe three to recoup before comming home. He will be off work for at least 1 month but could be off up to 6 months depending on how it is healing.<br />I got a nice surprise today when I logged on.

We find out what the options are and if surgery will help. I am hoping and praying that if we do decide on the surgery that dh will be able to do the things that he loves without the pain that he is in now. He has a real hard time sitting or standing for any length of time. Believe me, he has never really been someone to sit still for to long but with this injury, he can only sit for about 15 minutes and than has to move. It is the same with standing. I can understand what he is going through concerning the pain. <br />
I have my morning routine done and have started doing some of my afternoon routine as his appt is at 1130. We will probably just have leftovers for dinner. I made tator tot casserole last night, so will plan to finish that off. Have a great day<br />

I love that smell and it reminds me so much of being with my GP, DA and DU. That brings back good memories. My DGM loved to make homemade bread, noodles, sweet rolls, coffee cake, fudge, cookies, popcorn balls and tons of other things. I have such fond memories of sneaking cookie dough out of the bowl and eating it. Her acting like she was upset, but doing the same thing. LOL I made some cinnamon honey butter to put on it. YUMMMMMMMMY!!!!!!!<br />I am doing a 12 week challenge concerning my weight and today is the official start day. If anyone is doing WW points (I have the at home kit that I purchased yrs ago, but will use it) I would love to get recipes and other info from you.<br />Hugs and Prayersjm46http://www.blogger.com/profile/10942661621497666206noreply@blogger.com1
