Planning my week ?

Sunday, January 09, 2011

I don't know about the rest of you but i just don't seem to get much done with the hours i have in a day ! I get up at 5;30 am have coffee with DH till 6-6:30 then he goes out and milks the goat and i get on the computer from then till 8 usually . Sparkpeople takes some time but is a stress releaver for me and i feel i am helping make a difference in others lifes by encouraging them so about 8:30 till 9:30 breakfast 10 clean up kitchen make bed get dressed do devotions till 12:30 fix lunch clean up kitchen about 1:30-2:30 take a nap get up have coffee with DH if he is in and then i just sorta goof off from 3 till 6 and fix supper clean kitchen watch tv till 10 go to bed and read till sleepy ! Between 2-6 i do laundry run sweeper dust and whatever else needs to be done in house. Got church 3 nights aweek sometimes 4 and on Sunday morning so i keep active but don't do much ! I want to plan 1 hour aday to do something i enjoy like the piano . I am going to try for next week to take 1 hour aday on the piano. We will see how it goes. Sometimes we go shopping or out for a sandwich and it changes my routine but thats a typical day for me. I do thank God for everyday i enjoy life ! emoticon

    Good for you planning something in your day just for you! It makes a big difference in life I think. I used to think I didn't have any extra time until I made some. How much better life is now! Enjoy!!!

CAMBELLS SOUP !

Saturday, January 08, 2011

I GOT A CAN OF CAMBELLS CHUNKY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP AND AM PLANNING ON ADDING A CAN OF MIXED VEGETABLES TO IT . I NEED TO GET IN MORE VEGETABLES AND I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE EASY AND GOOD. DH WENT DEER HUNTING THIS MORNING BUT HAD TO TURN AROUND THE ROADS WERE TO BAD. HE WAS REALLY DISSAPPOINTED BUT HANDLED IT GOOD. WE BEEN WORKING ON THAT TOGETHER THAT JUST BECAUSE THINGS DON'T GO RIGHT OR IT GOES VERY WRONG GETTING IN A BAD MOOD JUST ADDS TO THE PROBLEM. ITS HARD ON YOU AND THE SPOUSE THAT HAS TO LIVE WITH YOU. I FIND MYSELF BENT OUT OF SHAPE AND HAVE TO TAKE SOME ME TIME . JUST GO LAY DOWN AND PRAY TAKE A BATH OR READ A BOOK FOR AWHILE THEN I AM FINE. HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY DON'T GIVE UP! emoticon

    I have a friend who hasn't discovered your secret. Their home life is miserable and I keep praying for them.

I too like to take Campbell soups and add extra veggies to it. One of the Chinese restaurants has a tomato soup with veggies and ground meat. I make that at home and DH loves it.

We are getting more snow here today also. It isn't much but it is slippery.

Take care

  I hope you'll feel better soon.

Adding broccoli to a soup is a great idea.

What is the name of the soup?
Do you know how many Points are for the whole can?
How many servings per can??
How many grams of sodium it has for the whole can (or per serving)?

Thank you in advance.

LIFE IS FULL OF CHOICES !

Wednesday, January 05, 2011

MY BROTHER CAME YESTERDAY HE IS 54 YEARS OLD. HIS DOCTOR TOLD HIM HE WAS A CANADATE FOR A LUNG TRANSPLANT ONLY 20% OF HIS LUNGS ARE WORKING HE HAS DESTROYED THEM SMOKING AND HAS GAINED WEIGHT IN HIS STOMACH THAT IS CUTTING HIS AIR OFF EVEN MORE HE WEIGHTS 260 LBS. WE HAVE LOST BOTH OF OUR PARENTS WITH CANCER OF THE LUNGS AT 45 AND 46 YEARS OLD FROM SMOKING . MY BROTHER WAS ONLY 16 WHEN THEY DIED. DH AND I FINISHED RAISING HIM . LOST ANOTHER BROTHER LAST YEAR WITH CANCER FROM DRINKING AND SMOKING AT 64 AND THE OTHER BROTHER HAD TO HAVE TRIPLE BYPASS ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF SMOKING HE DID QUIT BUT IS ABOUT 50 LBS OR MORE OVERWEIGHT . SO POOR CHOICES HAS DESTROYED MY FAMILY ALL AT A YOUNG AGE. I DON'T WANT DIE YOUNG THATS THE REASON I WORK ON MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICES I LOVE LIFE AND DON'T WANT LOOK BACK AND SAY IF I HAD TAKEN BETTER CARE OF MYSELF I MIGHT NOT BE IN A WHEELCHAIR OR HAD A STROKE FROM HEALTH ISSUES CAUSED FROM BEING OVERWEIGHT OR A HEART ATTACK . I CHOSE TO TAKE CONTROL OF MY HEALTH AND LIFE TO LIVE AS LONG AND AS HEALTHY AS POSSIBLE. IF I COULD I WOULD DO IT FOR MY BROTHERS BUT WE ARE EACH ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR OURSELFS. I HAVE TRIED TO TALK TO HIM BUT HE JUST SAYS I KNOW I MIGHT TRY ! FRIENDS IF YOU ARE HERE ON THIS SITE YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE AND HEALTH AND WE CAN DO IT. CHRIS HAS FURNISHED THE TOOLS BUT HE CAN'T DO IT FOR US ! LORD HELP US TO MAKE WISE CHOICES ! emoticon

    It is so difficult watching those we love make poor choices. Your brother and you are in my prayers.

    You are so right!! I too, have lost a brother and sister.......it really hurts! I have one other brother, who has HIV, and has had it for 20 years so you know he won't live too many more years. I also have a sister.....sorta. She is my adoptive Dad's daughter from his first marriage, but she has pulled back from the family. I really miss her even though we only had minimal contact. My Mom and Dad are still alive, thank you God, and my Mom is very healthy. My dad smoked for over 50 years, but quit after AAA surgery. After watching my nieces and nephews deal with losing their parents, I have decided I'm going to live to be 100. I realize God may have a different plan and His of course supersedes mine. Lol. But, I'm gonna do all I can to have a healthy rest-of-my-life. Hang in there! God will get us both through all the storms, big and small! emoticon emoticon

  **SIGH** It's so frustrating to see CLEARLY the writing on the wall yet not be able to sway someone we love to get healthier lifestyle habits. But, you're doing what you can by taking care of yourself and you've spoken with your brother (and obviously he's seen the results of poor choices many times over in your own family already). Unfortunately, he's just not ready yet. I know that helpless feeling of watching it . . . it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. But again, you've done what you can. Setting a good example, talking with your brother about it. If the prospect of a lung transplant doesn't move him, I just can't even imagine what will.

God bless and hang in there taking care of yourself!
