I've been swimming a lot and I move A LOT when I'm in the water so it's true exercise and Glen and I have been trying to watch what we eat!!!! My blood sugar was still a little high and I need to work on that.......it's probably from eating too much fruit!!! I'm so proud of myself!!!! ........................11 pounds........WOW!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS DIANA!!!! That's wonderful and I'm so proud of you. Wish I had your motivation.

Not much going on here...still trying to sell some puppies. Getting a few calls, but nothing like I've done with previous litters. I've put ads everywhere and on my website and have my signs up at strategic locations. They will be 10 weeks old on Saturday. I have decided to stop breeding. This litter has been so much work and with worrying about Mom..etc...it's just too much right now. So....time to stop.

Seems like time is starting to fly by and school will be starting soon. Aug. 31. Still not ready. I've still been trying to find a part-time job to go along with bus driving. I've got to have my insurance. I'll keep looking.

Good luck on selling your puppies Janet. I ran into that while I was trying to sell Lacy. And with her being a female what few calls I did get was someone wanting to breed her. That was out of the question. I sure hope you can find good homes for your little guys. You will...it may just take a while.

Your school is starting back late compared to here. Ours goes back the 11th of Aug but my gkids go back the 4th. Doesn't even seem like they have had a summer.

Jessie had that problem with these litters, but now they are almost all gone. Of course, they lowered the price! Must be the economy.

I'm sorry you're having troubles selling your puppies Janet! Scott and I were wanting to add a second dog to our family when we moved, but with Layla's needs we really can't consider it anymore. I would have loved to get a puppy from you though!

Scott and I have been getting home just in time for bed every night this week. We worked late Monday and Tuesday, last night he worked late and I went to a movie, and tonight I'm babysitting the girls (I haven't seen them in so long and I really miss them!) while my brother and his girlfriend go on a "night out" (dinner and a movie) that Scott and I got them for Christmas.

And finally, tomorrow right after work we're leaving to go to my parents' cabin for the weekend. I really want to do nothing but relax. We're just going to hang out, go fishing, and watch football. Hopefully I can forget about the pile of dishes on the counter and the laundry that needs to be put away at home! I just haven't been around!

Summer is so short here and Scott is the kind of person who has to be doing something ALL THE TIME and so our schedule is always full. I would love a weekend to just hang out in the yard at home. I bought rattan ball patio lights and strung them aroung the back deck and through the tree in May. We have not been out there to use them even ONCE. We have our beautiful second floor deck with beautiful sunset views every night, and we have not used that either. Next summer I am putting my foot down, and we're staying at home more!

Thank you all for your encouragement about my weight. It's helped a lot that Glen and I are eating more carefully together. That helps a lot!! He's really good at keeping salads cut up in the fridge so they're handy to eat.

Gayle, your grilled okra sounds so good!!! I wish that we had some to try it but I don't think that anyone planted any this year!!! We eat ours fried so it's not the most healthy to eat!!

Janet, I'm sorry that you're having trouble selling your puppies. It must be the economy. I think that everyone feels it in one way or another.

Lindsey, I hope your doctor finds out what's going on with your eyes but your next appointment doesn't sound like fun.

This is the first year in 30 years that I haven't had to worry about getting a kid ready for the new school year!! It feels really funny not to have to worry about getting school supplies and clothes!!!!

Janet 07-23-2010 04:23 AM

Paula usually we go back to school around the same time as you, but they are doing some pretty heavy construction over the summer so they delayed the start until the 31st of Aug. Of course that means we have to go longer into to June of 2011 where now we get out in May. Next summer will be a short one for sure if they go back to the previous schedule.

DianaB 07-23-2010 10:38 AM

It's so nice to have a little housekeeper come and clean!!!! My granddaughter, Kera, (She's our redheaded granddaughter) has been coming all summer and dusting, sweeping, mopping, cleaning the bathrooms!!! It's been soooo nice!!! I've been paying her anywhere from $20 to $30 depending on how much time she spends. I finally made a list for her to go by and it's really worked great!!! She's really improved and has been doing so good!!! \

At first she was earning money to go to church camp but I told her that she could come back after camp if she wanted to. While she was on vacation she bought herself a new ipod and she'll probably be saving money for school clothes now. I don't even mind if she comes back when school starts....if she has time. I can remember how nice it was to have your "own" money in school!! We visit and have fun while she cleans. She's so special!!!!

Janet 07-24-2010 03:23 PM

I would love to have someone clean Diana, you're so lucky!! You must have a wonderful granddaughter.

judy 07-24-2010 03:34 PM

That's perfect Diana! You get to be together, she cleans, and you give her some much needed money! Sometimes things work out so well!

Blueyes 07-24-2010 04:16 PM

I'll be in Seattle with my son Dustin and my dil Joy the 26th-3rd. Mike has a check up with his hematologist in Dallas Monday morning, then I will leave from DFW airport at 2:30. They insisted that I come see them, and even bought my ticket. I thought they were using frequent flyer miles, but they didn't:eek: Mike will stay home with the dogs:p I'm looking forward to spending time with them. We always just relax and manage to see beautiful sights at the same time. I'm taking my camera:)

DianaB 07-24-2010 07:43 PM

Oh Betsi, I hope you have such a good time. I know that you're really missing your other kids!! Take lots of pictures for us!!!

gja1000 07-24-2010 07:48 PM

Betsi! You really are the traveler!! Are you back from the beach, or are you still there?

I know you will have a great time! I'd love to go to Seattle!

Janet 07-25-2010 02:54 AM

Betsi...you know I'm living vicariously through you right now right? I would love to just get out of my county..lol. You take lots of pictures for us okay?

paula1961 07-25-2010 05:41 AM

Have a wonderful and safe trip Betsi!! I'm so glad that you are gonna be spending some time with your son and his wife. You all will have a great time!!!:) Can't wait to see pix!
