Nothing in particular. Uh huh. A loss like ours does change your perspective on life 'rules.'

My daughters are staying the night with my in-laws. I probably should go out, but I'm enjoying lounging around in my pj's. Nice to enjoy the house while it's clean. I think I'll work on some small projects and watch movies.

I'm glad things are going well and hope it continues once school starts.

My daughters go back to school Wednesday! I can't believe summer is over already. My in-laws are going to have the girls over all night tomorrow. I'm not going to waste my day cleaning this time. I'm going out even if I'm by myself.

Squat challenge day 7 done! Walking for cardio.

No I don't. I think he will run as an independent and take away republican votes. I'm sure that would make Hillary happy.

Aug 6th Squat Challenge day 6 done! Gym db chest press db flys db chest press pronated grip db close grip press db tri extensions db tri crossovers hammer decline chest press cable pushdowns with rope 300 abs

I think even though a particular action is painful we do find some comfort and healing in it too. Looking through photos, listening to sentimental songs, reading love letters, whatever that action might be.

I donated 5 full bags to Goodwill this week. Mostly unwanted toys and outgrown clothes.

This is a quick and easy meal. White Turkey Chili 1 lb ground turkey, browned and drained 2 cans northern beans, rinsed and drained 1 jar of salsa 16oz corn (canned or frozen, if canned drain it) 8 oz pepper jack cheese Mix ingredients in a large pot. Stir until cheese is melted. We eat it with tortilla chips. I use organic vegetables and salsa.

Slowly marking items off of my list. The outdoor chores are my least favorite. That is why they've been on my weekly goals list for awhile. The weather we've been having lately would be perfect though. I need to make myself do it.

School registration for my daughters today. They're excited even if they won't admit it. Loved seeing their smiles!

Rest day for my squat challenge. Walking for cardio today. I wish I consumed as many vegetables as I do fruit throughout the day. I just can't resist the fruit right now. I had strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, a plum, and a banana today. Tomatoes, carrots, and romaine for my vegetables.

If you are not comfortable giving him your information I wouldn't expect him to be comfortable giving you his. Just take the precautions you mentioned until you're both comfortable sharing information. I'm sure once I start dating background checks will be done on potential dates. Phil was a K9 officer and my blue family already warned me that they would do background checks.

Squat challenge day 4 done! I went to the gym today too. lat pulldowns underhand lat pulldowns straight bar pushdowns close grip cable rows bent over rows on smith machine curls on smith machine db cross curls db curls 200 abs Still working on my meals. I had more vegetables today, but still lacking in protein.

Requesting certain teachers is not allowed in our school district. I'm sure exceptions are made for the betterment of the child, but also because of the influence some parents have in the community.

Congratulations!!! I hope you make many happy memories in your new home.

I'm glad you didn't delete your thoughts. A lot, or probably most, of us feel the same way. It is overwhelming! There just isn't enough hours in the day to accomplish everything you want to do. "Fake it 'til you make it" comes to mind. I think a lot of us wids to that. Do you get any time to yourself throughout the week? Maybe scheduling some 'me time' would help you recharge. I know that helps me. ((hugs))

Marked 5 items off of my list today!

I know it's frustrating and difficult not to wonder when it will happen for us, but it will. Even if it's not a lasting relationship. Mr.Right Now instead of Mr.Right.

Squat challenge done! I'm starting to feel them. Tomorrow I'm planning on going to the gym. It's hard for me to lift light, but I haven't been to the gym in awhile so I need to. Journaling my meals is helpful. I can see that I've been lacking in protein and vegetables.

Thanks for sharing that memory with us.

That's exciting news!

I wore myself out working in the landscaping today. Yard work is hard work! My least favorite thing to do. I'm planning on doing more tomorrow. I'm rethinking my landscaping and planning on making it more low maintenance. I need to replace a few shrubs that died too. Exciting Saturday!!! I bet you're all envious.
