better than nothing



That is my youngest Gdaughter. Love her smile, it's kind of how I am feeling today. This will be quick. I checked out for most of weekend. I had a bad week last week food wise. This week it's kind of been a good week food wise, but emotionally not so good.

I was reading Dawn's last post (fixing myself thinner, see my blog roll) the 1st sentence started off "Why do I insist on punishing myself"? I could totally relate. If there isn't a problem, sometimes I will make one up. Stupid, I know this. Yet I do over and over. The many ways I do this to myself are surprising, if I really think about it. Today, I will put the bat down and step away from the bat. I will not beat myself up for the past, but make choices for a better today.

I wanted to give another shout out to my Darling Daughter. Her new blog is budzinskis.blogspot.com. I do not know why it won't link up.GRRRr She has fixed it so you can leave comments now. She is going to have some great money saving ideas as well. She can smell a bargain and really knows how to the most out of that dollar! I love the recipe she has up on her last post. My mother made it up. My sister Vicki loved it....hence the name!

Keep the mood and the food real.......I have not forgotten or ignored the lovely awards. I just need a minute to really respond. Do what you can! It's better then nothing!

    I am the queen of self-sabotage - as a matter of fact, I am in the big middle of shooting myself in the foot. Sigh

    We will do better, right? Starting now? I'm in if you are in....

    Hugs....and love the color scheme....

    That is just about the cutest kid I've ever seen. What a smile!

    I do the same thing...create problems where none exist. I think it has something to do with not feeling safe as a child. You might have been going along thinking things were great, but underlying it all, there was a big drama or blow up just lurking, and you had no control over it. In other words, "don't get too comfortable..there's really a problem going on...you just don't know what it is." And it will bang you upside the head when you least expect it. So we create problems just so that we are on alert all the time. Yup...it's that Crazy Brain talking.

    I'm sending big hugs to you while you're sorting this out.

    Your granddaughter is soooo adorable! What a great smile. I look forward to the day I have my own grandkids-but not until mine are plenty old enough to have them!

    It's not falling off the horse that matters it's picking yourself up, dusting off your bottom and getting right back on. Glad you had a better week.

    Yeah, I've never quite understood self-sabotage, getting in your own way.

    You're grand-daughter's adorable.

    I think when things are going great I create problems simply because I don't feel as if I'm WORTH a carefree life. (hence my last post. haa haa haa)

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
