Christmas Countdown - 2011

[whitney37354]

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.

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

Stay busy on here! We are all here for you! I will say a prayer. (((hugs)))

Thanks everyone for answering my royal family questions! I think I have it now...I am about to watch it since I was at work this 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. We have made it everyone it's the weekend!!! have a good afternoon Christmas buddies!

I tried to catch up on all post but really behind.

What a day yesterday! It was good and bad. The last time I was on here was yesterday morning and wanted to get on here last night but just didn't have time and worn out.

I went to the gym and made a mistake to eat a big breakfast and then ran 2 miles on a full stomach. What a big mistake! I felt terrible all day. They warn you not to ever do that and I knew better but did it anyway. My stomach was in knots all day and just made me sluggish.

I also had my grandchildren for 11 hours feeling crummy. I made the best of it and we went to the mall with my mom and son and had a nice time. So that was good!

By the time the kids left I collapsed and had no energy to get on here. All night last night my stomach gave me fits and I didn't sleep well. I guess it doesn't help that in the past I have had chronic stomach issues so I have to be super careful with my diet and now I know not to run on a full stomach!

I am usually up very early and was going to watch the Royal Wedding but slept in and missed it all. Oh well, the news is covering it all.

I hope you all have a great day.

I hope you feel better soon, rest up!

wow!!! i have never been more proud to be british, this wedding is so beautiful.

our princes look so handsome and kate middleton is so stunning.

i wish i had gone down to london for the day and watched it in hyde park, the atmosphere will be amazing. instead i'm spending the day at home with tea and crumpets, but i may pop to one of the street party's later if i feel better (sore throat and chesty cough)

anyway christmas friends, i've had no computer for a while, but it's fixed and i have it back now, so let's get planning christmas 2011!!!!

So glad you are back! Yes lets let the planning begin. Our little angels will be so much fun this Holiday season!

I wonder if I can find a fresh turkey? Have a wonderful weekend friends!

I just heard this too. Possible electrical short and other glitches as well. Hopefully they get it all fixed and back up and running soon!

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

Will say a prayer for you. I feel the same way with food. Why does it have to taste so good? I will almost make myself sick eatting sweets. Its strange because I know its not healthy and that its going to make me feel like crap but yet I still do it!
