Good morning everyone,
Well we survived the snow storm and it's already melting so here comes the flooding, I am happy we live on a hill.

Kids go back to school today so we get some sense of a routine back.

Hope you all have a great day.

Hiya, Hard to think of snowstorms as it is a lovely sunny day here in the Highlands, glad yours is melting now and you can get back to 'normal'. Yes Bella I need a routine too, get quite lost and fuzzy headed without one. Have a good day.

Good Morning sunshiny muffins!

Good day overall, crazy busy today. Husband's 50th today and he is handling it pretty well considering aging bugs him big time!!

Beaches, glad your snow is melting! We have a beautiful sunny day a bit breezy and cool but overall feels like spring is here. YEAH!!

Bella and Lorna, great to see you! Routines are good I guess, essential when you have young children.

Laura, just want to say, you can get back there. Glad to hear you are going to the gym. That will help you too!

Hugs and Love to all,
Mary

Hi everyone. Trying to catch up on all the old posts but I think its a task requiring more time that I can devote. Glad to see everyone is doing well and that Lushy is back!!!

The power is finally back on here. It went out at 1am Sunday and just came back a short time ago. the weather was soooo freaky. I fully expected locusts to drop out of the sky at any moment....

Good Morning Glories..
Yes, Bella, I function better when there is some sort of routine, but not too much.
I'm actually doing much better. I've managed moderation since Thursday, and AF yesterday. It looks like I've inadvertantly committed to 30 days AF....who did that? Oh well, good timing since hubby and I have gotten back on a cleansing type diet that we do from time to time...a very good way to detox..which I've really needed. I was beginning to feel very toxic from over doing these last couple of months...

So, a much better mood..a few pounds heavier, but hey, I've discovered tunic tops and wide belts..so I'm walking around stylin'! So, there!

Have a lovely muffin day all..the sun is coming out around here and flowers are on the horizon.
Namaste!

Hi All,

You all sound soooo cheerful!!!

MKR Happy birthday to your hubby!!!!! Also yes you were right, we saw another neurosurgeon yesterday, they still think that another op would be beneficial but can't scan just yet till the scarring from the last op has healed properly so it will still be a few months before we have to make the decision ... can't make up my mind whether thats good or bad!!!

Anyway, love and hugs to everyone here :h :l :h :l

Morning all!

Wow Hawk, that is a long time to be without power. Glad the locusts did not fall.

MKR, hope you have a nice bday with your hubby. He is one lucky guy to have you for a wife.

Beaches, glad to hear the snow is melting but that aftermath can be such a nightmare.

Laura, meant to respond to you yesterday. I know that being busy is a great way to not drink, but like you said you cannot be on the go all of the time. Free time is a big killer for me too. As has been said on here many times before I think it is important for us to find something we are really interested in that does not involve drinking or allow for it. I keep saying I want to become proficient at playing the piano so I am going to do that. Kind of hard to play and drink at the same time! It is creating those new habits that I think is key. You are doing great in my book!!!

Bella, sometimes it is nice when the kids go back to school, isn't it?

Lorna, I bet where you live it is just beautiful. Would love to visit that part of the world.

To all of the rest of the muffs I wish you a wonderful day.

P.S. Hi to Boop and Di!!!!

Hi all,

Beaches, Sorry about the snow, you must be so tired of it by now. My kids went back to school yesterday and for us, summer is only 6 weeks away, yikes. I had to meet with my son?s RSP teacher to get his summer study program and reading list set up. They also told me he will have to take his state STAR testing in the RSP classroom. He is going to be bummed, being 9 now, he hates to leave the class for anymore special ed. then he already has too. Time to get out the ?this is what?s best for you speech? Sigh!

Bella and Lorna, I would to hear more about where you both live sometime. And Lorna, sorry your mood is sad today; hope the sunny day cheers you up.

Mary, congrats on the hubby?s 50th, you know it's the new ?30?. And thank you for the encouragement yesterday, I scheduled a personal training for tomorrow at the gym and I?m looking forward to it.

Hawk, we have a flood season here from time to time and I have had to use my backyard propane stove for a couple of days at a time to make coffee and hot meals in the rain. It?s kind of fun for the 1st hour. After that, it blows big time. That is a long time to be without power.

D. What cleansing diet are you doing? I have tried a couple, but I can never stick to it.

Betty, Hugs!

Lushy, I meant to tell you how proud I was of you yesterday for moderating so well on the vacation. Those can be deadly, as we all know. Also, we missed you around here. You are the peanut butter in the PB and J. or is it the egg in the muffin batter? Whatever it is, it?s sticky, it keeps us together and we missed it.

I am feeling a little lonely. I figured it out yesterday, so today I called a mom of one of my sons to arrange a coffee date. I need to find other things to do with myself.

Good day to you all,
Laura

MKR I am stressed because at work I have had to stop holding peoples hands and cut the cord. I had to get kind of harsh I would say to get my point across.
