More About Me

It has been a busy week. Skylar came home last Thursday afternoon and I have been helping with his care, my husband has been off work all week, which means I have to cook a few more meals and clean up more than usual but I'm glad to have him home and I am still working on things around the house when I get a chance. I hope to be back next week. Until then, I will give you an opportunity to learn a few more things about me. I have seen this on several other blogs and love to play along, so here goes...

You are such a good aunt to help out so much with Skylar. I know it is important to him and his parents. And believe it or not, I'm just like you about drinking out of glasses in resturants. I always ask for a straw! Enjoyed reading your question answers! Good idea.

I like those shows as well...love the way they make those to-go piles for the clutter bugs, and whittle down the junk.

I've got one of those pesky hiatal hernias as well...a mild one, but it still flares up every once in a while. I take Prilosec for it.

I tend to forget to take my pills as well, so my husband "pills" me(feel like a pet) first thing in the morning. ;) He's always up before I am, so he brings me some water and the meds before my feet even hit the floor. It's a good routine that can' be easily forgotten.

Hi Elizabeth,
I tell you, I use to have indigestion so bad and the dr sent me to have scan of my gall bladder to see if I might have stones cause that is a sign of indigestion. So my results showed I had several stones and some pretty big ones. So off I go to have the surgery and it did help for a season but that old indigestion monster arrived again. Then the dr said I probable have that hernia thing. Now in the mean time my sister was telling me I needed to try few table spoons of Apple Cider Vinegar that she does and it works...I'm like ohhhhh I can't do that...eewww. But behold I finally tried it cause mine got so bad to where I constantly had it and it did relieve it much but never completely got rid of it. But the first of the yr. I fasted for the Lord for 21 one days and and did not have that issue not one time...but when I quit the fasting and tried to drink coffee, indigestion tried to come back...but if I keep it to 1 cup it doesn't. Then I'm not eating the things I used to eat. I'm keeping it to mostly veg and fruits. I have had a dessert here and there and nothing yet...Praise the Lord!!!
