Rainy Season!

Spring is known for its rains. That is what makes the Flowers grow after all! How many times have you heard that said? All I know is that I would love to have a Quarter for each time, for I would have quite a stash by now! Guess we need the Rain, but for almost a week? I was sick last week on the Sunny Days. I got sick the night we returned from Highlandville, the 23rd of April. I think it was flu or food poisoning. I felt really good the entire time there, did not feel something was totally wrong until after supper. Things just didn't feel quite right. I was in for a rough 5 hours. I still managed to take my med. I take at night, but not until 2:30 am. I regret getting sick, but there is not much I can do about it now, that time is past. Gone, Done. Hunter and all were here starting Friday night April 28 and went home on Sunday the 30th. Scott and Lacey wanted to get in some more Turkey Hunting again. But with the rain, it did not happen as planned. Scott still went, but had no luck. Lacey decided to rest and I think it was the right plan. I watched Hunter when they were gone. He was a very good boy. He giggles out loud now at some things, which is the truest Joy of Joys. To see him Happy and not in pain is wonderful. Poor little boy has had so many challenges already, with the Double Hernia Surgery. It was fun and he is getting cuter every day. I got lots of Grandma time again, and for some reason it made me miss Tyler and Jodee even more. I hate that I cannot spend time with them like I can with Lacey and all. I know Jodee feels that way too, but it is what we have both chosen. They are still closer than they were, I have to remember that. I think they may be coming over as soon as she is done with Finals, which is this Friday. Jodee has this one last week of Tests, Three. One today, one Wednesday, and the last one on Friday. I hope they will be over soon. I am being totally selfish in wanting them here. I haven't walked in some time now. I did work out 2 days last week with the Richard Simmons 20 minute quick workout. It made me feel so much better to get moving again. I can feel my Body continue to regain strength. I had a good weight loss of 6 lbs last week. I have regained most of that. I was not honest with them at meeting. I never told the leader I was so sick I couldn't lift my head for 2 days and could eat even less. The loss was mostly water with my body shutting nearly down. I was hoping I could keep that not being hungry thing, but of course it returned. Weekends are so tempting. It makes it very difficult for me, but I have to live with it, so better get used to handling it. I do not want to go to meeting with a huge gain, but if I do, will try my best to deal with it. It was to be expected....guess I was just hoping for the water to stay away. What is it they say about wishes? I forget.(not really) Today is another bleak sunless day. The wind is blowing and it is 52 degrees. I want to return to walking. I should drive somewhere to do so, but I am still tired from caring for Hunter and need this day to recoup to go on. Hunter was very good and seems to be adjusting to staying here at night now. We put his bed in this room now as the catch all room is kept way too cool for him to sleep in there. He got along real well sleeping in here. This used to be Jodee's bedroom, so it is not the first time someone has slept in here. Maybe that is the connection between both grandsons...my memories of when Hunter's Aunt Jodee slept in here too. *wink*. It has rained for about 4 days in a row with a steady downpour. No storms, just rain. The grass is growing and the Spring Flowers are thriving. My Climatis is growing like a weed with all this rain. I have still to get out there and clean off the Flower gardens. Soon it will be time to plant the summer lettuce and veggie seeds we bought a few weeks ago, trying to wait patiently for Spring time and time to plant again. Strange how little it takes sometimes to keep us holding on, right? Have a good week! I intend to....wonder if I can get a walk in sometime today yet? Will have to think a LOT to get moving today. I slept in this morning and had some wild Dreams again. I think it must be a good thing that I am remembering Dreams again, right? Some were a bit disturbing, but not horrible at least! Next time! Hugs again, Katie Postscript: I did not get a walk in, but did a Richard Simmons workout for a bit over a half hour. Enough to get my Heart pumping and to feel good about the day. Not bad for a Blue Monday which was otherwise Bleak. (Also the first day of May!) Jodee just called me this morning. Tyler has Chickenpox. She wanted me to come out there today, but I need to get my meds ordered and picked up tomorrow, plus get the cell phone back from Lacey. Lacey took it home and accidentally left it in her other coat pocket when they went out to eat. I will be going out in the morning. She wants me there by 9 am, but that won't happen because I cannot pick up my meds till mid morning. There just was not enough time. I was ordering my meds 3 days ahead anyway, which for me is way ahead of time. Why do things continue to spiral out of control? Some days!!!! I will not let this get to me, time will pass. She was going to call Jamie and they will have to work something out between them. Now she knows what I went through when I never even had backup when I needed a break from the girls. True the timing sucks, but that is Life. We just try to manage it and keep it from going totally out of control. Thus is the Life with children. They have a medicine now that will let Tyler back into Day Care on Thursday. I hope I can go shopping a bit that day. I never get to be out there long enough to shop anymore...and a woman can only go so long without shopping!(Yes, that is selfish, but then I am worthy!) Mamma needs some new shoes! Anyway, I have vented and will be alright when this frustration passes. I wanted to help her, and will for 2 days. Guess I got my wish about going out there to see them, right? Right! Will see about working in a day with Jetty and Todd while there. As they say, be careful what you wish for~! (Why didn't I wish for Millions?) I need a hug, anyone, anyone? *wink* Katie Postscript #2: I walked my circuit today. I was moving! I got through it in one hour and ten minutes. It usually takes me about an hour and 15 or 20 minutes...sometimes more. The strength is back! I am developing muscles and moving faster. Yay me! I even feel like doing more! Guess I will have to wait until that urge passes, lol. Maybe I will go out and cut out some trees from the bushes and rake some leaves off my Spice Garden....or not!!!!
