My day wasn't one of the best but as they say, "this to shall pass." DH & I had a big arguement after church today. I then mowed the back yard, then he mowed the front. Things are fine between us now but it sure did leave me emotionally drained. He's been edgy lately so I guess we needed to get some things out in open. If I'm totally honest with myself I probably have been pretty moody lately too.
I recently found out both DD's are pregnant & due about 2 weeks apart. I know I shouldn't let it bother me but it is hard when I know I will have to split the new baby gifts and my time between the two of them. Plus they are going to need someone to keep their children while they are in the hospital. DS & his girlfriend are having some problems, they both called me to cry on my shoulder and get any advise I had.
One of the things that has been bothering DH is that I started smoking again after I had quit for 2 years. I have noticed some weight loss now that I'm smoking so it makes it harder to quit. I know that's only an excuse, but with everything going on I don't think I can emotionaly handle quitting at this time.
Well that's enough of my boo-hooing & whining. I sure hope everyone else had a wonderful day. Atleast I can still look forward to tomorrow, even if it is Monday (LOL).
May God bless & keep each one of you,

I think you know the appetite suppressant aspect is the ONLY benefit of smoking. (I've read that's one reason why a number of scrawny supermodels smoke!) Compare that to the many health risks of smoking which do nothing but shorten one's life span. Lose a few pounds vs. heart attacks, emphysema, cancer (not just of the lungs), all the debilitation that goes with it, and possibly not seeing your grandkids grow up. You know the facts, and I know how addictive it is (father smoked for years - his giving it up was probably what spared him from a massive heart attack this past year). I hope in good time you'll be able to turn your back on cigarettes for good because you chose health.
I pretty much focused on menu planning yesterday. The Cus ran some errands mid-afternoon and I was not going to haul Allison with me on a 90-minute grocery trip, so I ended up doing some pantry clean-up which I'd been wanting to do for a while. I'm getting rid of all these silly round storage containers that I have. I mean, I don't have round shelves! Square containers make much better use of all the space on rectangular shelves. Unfortunately, I need more containers, and some of them they don't make any more. Mixing styles also cuts down on efficiency, especially since same styles are usually stackable. So that's in progress. Next will be my kitchen drawers - yikes! Didn't get a workout in yesterday, and I'm not sure if I'll get one in today.

I can only echo what Linda said about the smoking and add one thing over the stress you're feeling.
Allison looks so sweet & inocent. How old is she? My oldest granddaughter is 7.
Thanks again for listening.

I rented the movie "The Butterfly Effect" this weekend also. I thought it was strange. I'm was thinking that the first part of the movie was his childhood and all the rest was in his head but now I'm not so sure. Maybe it was all in his head, who knows.
Thanks again,
