A lazy day at home cooking all day and enjoying the holiday while getting paid for it and not having to go to work…
All the pictures were taken today… My orchid from Mother’s Day is still blooming…
I love these flowers… Still waiting for hubby to plant them in the barrel in the front yard… He still needs to get some dirt…
Between the full moon, hormones from menopause, Gabapentin, work stressing me out, hubby not working, the boys on summer vacation, meaning I’m the only one having to work while everyone gets to be home… I was very emotional last week… to the point of crying in the car on the way to work and on the way home and trying not to cry at work… and I had three days off last week since I called out with my hurt toe…
I was in a good mood today though… The boys were plugged in all day with their games and what not… Hubby was in a quiet mood today though… And then everyone was grumpy as we can never agree on what we all want to watch… We found season one of Grimm so we are watching that since we started watching in season two…
Today I lounged on the laptop emailing and reading blogs… washing laundry… cooking… eating… and the day is almost over…
Son2’s pumpkin plants… the one in the pot on the left is doing better then the ones in the ground… I think the cats are maybe sleeping on the one in the ground as it looks smooshed…
Son2’s watermelon plant on the left… no watermelons in time for summer but we have watermelon for dessert from the store…
I really have to get a handle on the eating… I have been stress eating big time lately… and hubby and I have not been going for walks… although I get in over ten thousand steps most days at work on my pedometer… I need to wrap my mind around the idea that I want to lose weight… and do what I know from the time that I lost over thirty pounds… I have gained fourteen of those back since hurting my neck in the car accident two years ago… I have been on Gabapentin for eighteen months now… Smaller servings, no seconds, smarter snacking, more water, less juice and soda, less desserts, more walking… so easy, yet I am rebelling against my own self…
Ribs I made today… so good…
Turkey burgers and hotdogs for today too…
Everyone likes something different…
On the right is the potato salad I made today…
and on the left is the sweet potato chips I made after seeing The Chew… I couldn’t get them sliced thin enough so I think I should have set the oven hotter as it took twice as long to cook them and they are still soft and the ones that are crunchy are burnt… so I was a bit disappointed… we’ll see how they taste tomorrow…
We had also planned to roast some marshmallows on the bbq pit tonight but it is super windy outside… so we told son3 we would try again tomorrow… besides we are still full and those marshmallows are super big…
Son3 has school tomorrow so time to have him get ready for bed…
Tonight

Happy Journaling…
