Sorry my blogs are not every day and not very positive. I never feel good but this cold has done a number on me. It seems like more naps is the key. It didn't help that neighbors teenage son was yelling screaming and cussing at 2am. I feel for the mother .She is a single mother to him and her two teenage daughters just had a baby each. I would be running away from home if I were her.
No news on our grand daughter but Brianna took her parents yesterday so they could get an vehicle. Bill and Angel and others have been driving them everywhere since she had car wreck. So that is one less thing to worry about.
Angel went with 2 helpers and worked on Joys house.No wonder she has been so sick.I am pushing hard for her to get rid of two dogs.If she doesn't I will.
Bill is cooking so it will be publix. He should be here soon.
Just found out my living room DVD didn't change time. OOPs
Ok I am still doing good with fluid.I am staying around 120 oz. or less.Way over 64 but way less than I was. Food isn't too back.Only tracking water right now
Hope your day was good.
Ahhh Here comes supper

It must be hard after being told drink, drink drink now to be told to cut back on your fluid. The cold will go away soon. Report Inappropriate Comment

Wow, that's so much water. I would feel like I'm drowning. My kids are always on my mind, too. It's hard thinking about their worries and not making them your own. Today we have a lot of my son's medical care lining up. He has to have an MRI today, over a year late. I am holding my breath. I don't get much time off from work so husband is taking him. I hope you get better soon and that the neighbors settle down. What a life they are having. Report Inappropriate Comment

I dislike rude neighbors! I'm not a fan of most of ours so we keep to ourselves. Since my scale is broken I found out how much I weighed today at the doctor. YIKES!! I'm 5 pounds less than I was when I first started Spark years ago. I need to stop working so much OT so I can cook dinner again. Keep those naps and chicken noodle soup coming!

Hi Eleni......... Isn't it frustrating to have poor neighbors. One of the reasons we moved to the country was because of the horrible neighbors we had in town and now we have neighbors across the field from us that think it is fun to go "Mudding" at 12:30 AM. I can hear them with our windows closed and a fan on!!!!! It is maddening. Aren't people taught to think of others anymore? I guess not!!! I do feel sorry for the single mom, but when did it become OK for kids to bring all of their mistakes home and expect their parents to take over???? What ever happened to consequences for behavior??? You can tell that you struck a nerve can't you......sorry. I wish there was something I could do to help you get rid of that cold. Just take care of yourself and don't get too stressed with all that is going on. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Patti Report Inappropriate Comment

I felt like my nose would hit the keyboard yesterday, so I moved to the recliner and napped for an hour. I'm having the same problem today. My blood pressure was 101/54 when I checked it yesterday - I learned that when I tend to go to sleep sitting up the blood pressure is low. Standing up and walking around helps, but napping is good too. Report Inappropriate Comment

So Sorry about your neighbor and all the noise ... I am sure it must be really disturbing !! Glad your Sister is getting help and you are feeling a bit better ... keep up the good work. Love to hear from you .. don't worry about blogging every day as long as we know you are ok !! Hugs and Love Susie Report Inappropriate Comment

Hi Eleni......... The Cleome are "Leggy", but it sure didn't stop them from blooming!!! I know that they would do better if they were thinned and probably even better if they were right in your ground soil. They are tough little flowers and over the years I have experimented with planting them in crowded conditions, shady conditions, lots of sun, near the house, out by the other gardens, etc. We have even had some show up in the woods........either the wind or the birds carried the seeds down there. You should get some shades of pink and lavender too. I LOVE the picture of Abigail. Hope you feel better soon. That cold just doesn't want to leave you. Patti Report Inappropriate Comment

Butterflies Are Coming Back

Sunday, March 11, 2012

They like the new plant Bill got. Hoping I am feeling well enough to get them repotted. Bill said he will do it but I have to be there to tell him what to put where. Still have this cold and not up to my usually crappy self. Took 2 naps yesterday.
Miss Roxy was very busy this morning after Bill left. I am leaving it for Bill to see.

Hope you are having a good weekend

I'm guessing that the red plant is Penta and the blue one is Mexican Petunia or Milkweed? I tried to have a butterfly garden but the lizards kept eating the caterpillars. Your yard must be beautiful! Report Inappropriate Comment

PATRICIAANN46 3/11/2012 9:06PM

Hi Eleni....... I had a feeling the new red plant that Bill bought for you would be the one that attracted the butterflies first. They and the hummingbirds seem to hit the red blossoms first in my garden too. We are having such a warm spell, that I washed the car with no coat on today. While out by the driveway, I noticed that several of my Hostas are already sending up shoots and all of the bulbs on the South side of the house are green and ready to bloom. It was like we didn't even have a winter this year. Today, Tyke took a pair of my socks and hid them because I didn't let him walk down to the mailbox with me. I am sure that this is Roxie getting back at Bill. They are so smart!!! Take care of yourself. Patti Comment edited on: 3/11/2012 9:07:52 PM Report Inappropriate Comment
