Good Morning 7/11

Heather Echola Various birds take turns and other than them cutting the hay across the road I do not have too many disturbing neighbors. I noticed today was the first I have heard the cicadas this year. I often hear tree frogs.

Do you ever wish we didn’t need to eat?

Amber @AmbiePam (100352) • United States 23h

I don’t want to eat anything, as not a single food item sounds good to me. But I take medicine that requires food, and I don’t want to have zero energy, so I found something to eat. The past few days I was thinking while I’m...

Heather Echola When it is hot I used to get that way. I need to keep Bob fed and I am supposed to eat regular meals as well. When I was first married to my first husband on his work days and duty days when he had to be on the ship over night I would eat things like a half...

Heather Echola I have a hard time remembering what I eat from day to day. Last night was that saucy chicken served with rice and veggies and also a tomato/cucumber salad. Sometimes we just snack for lunch. I think I had raisin toast with peanut butter for breakfast. Coffee...

Something I never thought I would need to do

Fleur @Fleura (32022) • United Kingdom 11 Jul

As a parent I have found myself doing things I never used to do, or even things I thought I would never do. For example the phrase ‘Just a minute’ was never part of my vocabulary; now it’s something I seem to utter several times...

Heather Echola I do the staggering thing sometimes. I tried doing that with my bills during my first marriage, but i t did not fit well with how my husband saw things. He was "pay it as soon as you get it" and I was "do not pay it until the last possible minute." Same idea,...

LindaOH @LindaOHio (194247) • United States 11 Jul

As most of you know, I have a tremendous problem trying to sleep. I get no more than 4 hours of sleep a day; and it's not unusual for me to be up 24-48 hours at a time. I'm always tired; and I know that lack of sleep can cause...

Heather Echola Every little bit helps. We only made two stops, did not have a long list either. Mostly things that make summer meals a little easier. Bruno does not like the lawnmower or the vacuum cleaner.
