Erika - Happy 5th Birthday Carter!!!! My kids quit taking naps at the age of 3. As for the food callout I thought you all would get a big kick out of my pic of food, figure I'd spare you all the crazy names

Kyra - glad you're liking the new job. Maybe you could take a walk at night or get up a little early & do some stretches to get some movement. They taught you HOW to get things done at the Ranch so put that good knowledge to use.

FW - How do you make your stir-fry? I need a good stirfry recipe......hack I need ANY stir-fry recipe. Never heard of the cosmos things. Your meals always look so good!

Dee - you back at work? How are you doing?

Schelle - Katie - anyothers where are you? I'm so out of touch!

Having a good day so I thought I'd check in as much as possible & fill you in. Had my bone marrow biopsy yesterday & it went great. Very little pain!!! Should get some sort of results tomorrow evening or Thursday

Its crazy how I'm ususally fighting to get my water in & right now I'm not to have anything but ice chips& all I want to do is chug an entire pitcher of icy-cold water! I do take little sips though.

Some of the viruses must be getting better because for the first time since Christmas afternoon I have an appetite!!!!

NOW, are you ready to hear what I'm craving? SF/FF orange jello in a bowl topped with lite coolwhip blended in with more jello, then top with lite coolwhip. Then I want a ham sandwich with mustard. HMMMMMMMM don't really eat for a month & thats what I want. D)

Even light food won't be on the menu for another week Then I have 1-2 weeks of a very modified diet.

gotta go rest for a little. Have a good afternoon

Ha!  Your meal plan did make me smile, you smart a$$ you!!    I think I would be craving something better than JELLO!  Cheesecake, probably   I'm so glad to hear that you're dreaming of eating real food soon though.  Change your ham to turkey and I'll be there with you.  Get some rest--thanks for checking in with us!!

Did you see this kids movie?  He makes her a jello castle creation because she loves jello too

It has a Jello scene in it that you would appreciate

connie - I'm about again, your food like a little like urine therapy

Erika - I suddenly don't like you as much anymore - a 5 yo who sleeps is just not fair, each one of my little darlings had stopped napping shortly after turning 2, it became a case of fight the daytime nap or deal with late to bed at night - I love my evenings to myself so no daytime napping it was, but then they never were big daytime sleepers - even when little daytime sleep was 2 hours max. Now I've let that go I can love you again

Nicole - bad girl, no more brownies, bad girl!! (one of my dogs loves to escape and run, makes me question my worth as a dog owner that my dog can't wait to escape me. The other one keeps me believing as she simply can't be bothered running away which I interpret as she loves me so much she doesn't want to leave my side). Hope you actually do get some peace and quiet.

Kyra - really happy to hear work and eating is going well, are you renting with a lease contract to fulfil?

FW - what is cosmos? Eats looking good and don't tell nicole she deserved the brownie, she might eat another one (kidding of course).

Dee - hey gorgeous!

5k run this morning on the treadie at the gym, whilst away I did quite a few 5k runs along a hilly track - despite that it was frickin hard this morning - there was no temptation to keep running to 6 so walked another 2k instead.

My eats for yesterday (Tuesday for me)

M1: oats and p.powder

M2: small nectarine, grapes, cott cheese, yoghurt and 1 weet box

M3: leafy salad with four bean mix and little smoked salmon

M4: chicken wrap with salsa, salad, cheese and little sour cream

M5: cup of soy milk with p.pwder

2.5l water

Fly by!

Busy busy!

m4  see if you can follow this snack attack--pretzels w/ hummus, 1/2 apple, 1/2 banana, fiber one bar, water

m5 will be dinner out for YDS birthday--he'll probably pick Culvers--so grilled chix sandwich, soup, dt coke

Schelle--I'm lucky but nap is pretty military like here with all the munchkins around.  I've convinced him that I will get him up earlier than his baby sister--however, he has no sense of time

Dee - don't overdo it lady!

Erika - we used to go to Culvers almost every Sunday after church then we started just doing luncheons at DD's but its a fun out for a kids bday
