Good morning, MMC!

Gorgeous day on tap and I have a major sore throat - nothing serious, just allergies, but boy does it hurt. I can't even talk - I'm sure that will make some people happy cheesy

Bo has been having a problem with his ears, so we got him some ointment. I had a hard time putting the oil in his ear as he kept laying his head in my hand. What should have taken only a few minutes took at least ten. Good thing I have patience with him! The good news is it must have worked on him as he had a relatively quiet night. Poor dog - he gets this problem a lot and the vet can't figure out why.

I'm going to finish my tea (honey, lemon, ginseng - YUMMY and throat soothing!) and get to work.

Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!

Finally got a diagnosis for my littlest one - she's 2 and has had tummy problems for quite a while and we have just jad it confirmed that she is lactose and wheat intollerant so we can now hopefully start to get her better by giving her a special diet. If anyone had experience in this I would love to hear as its new to me.

I'm glad they finally figured out what is bothering your two year-old!
 
Well, about to load up and head out. Got a little 4 hour drive ahead of me. The good news.....there is a Starbucks halfway. Wish they had the pumpkin spice lattes....but that will be soon enough.

See ya tonight!

Sounds like here, too. We were over 100 degrees yesterday, and my yard would be dying if I didn't have the sprinklers running all day. We sure could use some rain!
 
Naomi - sad to hear about your daughter's issues but glad a change in diet can help! And there are so many options out there now that are lactose and wheat free, thankfully!

Yikes, that sounds awful!

Can I brag and say it's been low 70s and breezy here? (After 90s- 100 for awhile and no rain for a month?!)

Good Morning, My Terrific Tuesday Friends!

Rise, shine and experience the count first hand, right here at this channel:
Days to the Season: 152
Days to Christmas Day: 194
Just 12 days off now from the 50 percent mark to Christmas.
(Getting mighty close to single digits, aren't we?)

Well, it was cooler as promised here yesterday but the humidity remained and it really was not that much more comfortable.
Perhaps we will have better luck today.

Be sure your Tuesday is indeed Terrific.
And keep that Christmas llight shining.
('Pines tomorrow!)

I didnt realise how common it is - our local supermarket has a small range of products which are gluten and wheat free also lactose free diary products so I stocked up on a few bits yesterday.

Shes taken to the new 'big girl' milk really well - problem is the other children want what she is having so I am going to have to disguise things to make everything look the same! The things we parent shave to do!
 
Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I'm going to the chiropractor this morning to see if she can do something to help my back. I've obviously strained something between working on the pool deck and running my side business. Hopefully, I can avoid surgery. *crosses fingers*

Nancy came home about 10:30 last light from her trip to Atlanta with her sister. I finally got a good night's sleep! I just don't sleep well unless she's there, even though my daughter and her stuffed giraffe, "Gerty", both slept with me.

We have another hot, dry day on the way. Come on rain!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Morning All,

I've not been pon a for a few days and have a pile of posts to get through.

Finally got a diagnosis for my littlest one - she's 2 and has had tummy problems for quite a while and we have just jad it confirmed that she is lactose and wheat intollerant so we can now hopefully start to get her better by giving her a special diet. If anyone had experience in this I would love to hear as its new to me.

On a high note the weather here is beautiful today wil be around 70 which makes a refrshing change from all the rain we have had over the past week. Unfortunately for me I am in the office today so I dont get to enjoy it until this evening #(fingers crossed it lasts that long!)

Speak soon
Naomi
