I need some comfort ...

FOOD ...

And can't forget some dessert ...

That's right, I am not going to be too fussy about eating foods with just a bit more calories. While I can chew, I am going to indulge just a bit ... not overdo it though ;)

This has turned out to be one of those weeks. Bitterness, anger, frustration, and tears have made their way to me. I hate whining about anything, but the whole surgery/insurance thing with my upcoming jaw surgery is totally WRONG. It makes no sense to me. I won't get into it, but I would appreciate PRAYERS.

(((SIGH))))

Now, I am off to shop for just a little bit of comfort.

Anything having to do with insurance and Dr's always throws this girl for a loop. It is never easy. It never seems to be a fair deal.
I understand. Go. Eat. Shop. and eat something really, really yummy.
take care,

Elaine,
I'm totally praying for you. Hang in there, honey. It'll get easier. And I know, sometimes the sucky things just wear you down and you crumble. Even strong women are allowed to break down sometimes.
By the way, whatever that first dish is, looks DELICIOUS. What is it?....And yes, enjoy for now - cause I think you're gonna need to build up some reserves. :) Or before we know it, we'll be calling you the "Skinny Minnie".

I will be thinking of you. Sounds like you are having a bad time. A good cold beer sometimes helps??!!

I'm praying for you, Elaine. Don't give up. One person can take on a big, bad insurance company.

Enjoy your dinner. Looks delish!

I don't think a few extra calories will hurt you. You might need to store some up for those post-surgery days.

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time. It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc. I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be. I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL . If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year. Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
