RATS !!!!

My eating obsession is going nuts again !!! I know I can afford a few pounds but that is the point, I cant just gain a FEW. It's my personality - ALL OR NOTHING. Have always been like this. I HATE IT !!! I try to stay away from foods that I know are going to "trigger" me into a binge........But it is not working. I have tried it all........tried thinking of other things, working out, reading, etc. The dang food has this little voice that ALWAYS get me......"Oh Caninemom3.......come on, have a little snack on us.......we wont hurt you........" Okay. Now you all now I am certifiable.

Seriously, I am really quite frightened. It is true what they say. One bite too many and 1,000 bites are not enough.......If I gain it back this time my old lady metabolism will not let me lose any more......Still I have this stupid compulsion.......I know what will happen if I act on it .............but I can't stop myself.

Okay. Crazy Canine rant over. Please say a prayer okay ? xoox

My thoughts are with you CM3.

Well, I am blessed to be here! Tornadoes all around us on Wednesday night. Trees & power lines down all down our road. DH works for the electric co-op & got home at 4:30 a.m. Thursday, having to leave his truck at the end of the road & walk home in the dark. I don't know if he even had a flashlight with him, since I haven't talked to him much since then. He woke up at 7:30 a.m. and went back to work until late last night. DD & I were in bed at 10 p.m. and he still wasn't home. He went back in today & I don't know when we'll see him again! We were out of power for almost 24 hours. There are still people without power & might be out for days still.

SIL just texted me that her former house was blown away in the tornado. The entire subdivision, save two houses, is gone! People have found debris from Alabama & Georgia in their yards.

It was just me & DD, camping out in the basement bathroom. DD said she was scared of the storm. I asked her who protects us, and after thinking of Daddy & Mommy, she remembered that Jesus takes care of Mommy & Daddy too. We had just discussed that praying was talking to Jesus just like talking to anyone else. She laid down between the tub & toilet & said, "Jesus, please protect us. Amen." Then she fell asleep and snored through the storm!

We have lots of tree limbs & leaves in our yard & driveway, but otherwise, we escaped any harm to life or property. I have never felt more blessed than I do now.

Take care friends.

Glad to hear you are safe.

I hope with all of this crazy weather that everyone is staying safe. My co worker was talking about having a Christmassy Turkey dinner on Sunday.. Im thinking that is a good idea.. I wonder if I can find a fresh turkey? Have a wonderful weekend friends!

Good news!

My cat appeared to be getting worse and I was worried we might have to take him back to the vet. Today, he is up venturing through the house and eating better. For the past week he mostly laid in one spot or just in my lap. I am glad he is getting curious again and roaming around. He is not fully recovered but it's a good sign!

Thanks for your prayers! cheesy

Glad to hear he is doing better.

Good evening,

I am just going through the many posts that were made today, getting ready to go to bed, I am preparing for a very bad day at work tomorrow, I am all by myself, last year at this time we had 6 people on Saturdays, but I have to hold down the fort by my lonesome. I will be exhausted tomorrow night, but at least when I get home the Bruins will be on. I am glad everyone enjoyed the wedding, that is all it seems everyone was talking about today.

Have a great night!

Wow is it really 11pm. It seems like just a few hours that I got up to watch the royal wedding. It has been a busy day and I am exhausted. I have 10 pages of posts to catch up on so I will try to get to them in the morning.

I raced home to watch the space shuttle take off since the Arizona Sen. who was almost killed back in January was going to be there to watch her husband,but they have delayed it for some reason.

The heaters on the fuel line going to one of the 3 auxiliary power units wouldn't kick on. They say it will be at least Monday before they can attempt another launch but it will probably take longer than that to troubleshoot and fix the problem.

That sounds really good. I may have to pick up a turkey tenderloin to cook.
