Morning……Tuesday!! 

Nothing too exciting today.  A day in the office all day doing paperwork.  I need to get caught up on a few things and prepare for my homevisits this week so it is a good thing.  I did end up joining Weight Watchers yesterday, it starts next Monday.   I guess they will give my my books and info then.   Last night I came home and made a pot of oatmeal, did some laundry and made supper before heading to my committee meeting at church.   After church more of the usual laundry, dishes, Tommy a bath and put him to bed.   I didn’t even read last night I was so tired!!    I just collapsed into bed.

Mondays are my check in days with my allergist.   I told him I was doing better but a bit more coughing on the days I take 10 mg of predisone instead of the the 30 mg so he bumped those days up to 20 instead.  Argh….going the wrong way!  I want off this stuff!  

Tonight is cleaning night.    Josh has to work so he thinks he gets to skip his chores again…Hmmmm. 

Ilovebakedgoods – thanks a million for the recipe site.  I hope to be successful with Weight Watchers.  Many people I know have been.   I start next Monday..so we will see.  I will check out the site thanks!!

WisconsinMom – I am enjoying “My Sister’s Keeper”,  It is an interesting story line.  It is about a child, (Anna) who was genetically developed to be a prefect donor for her sister who has luekemia.   The family weren’t planning on having another child, but had this one to save their other daughter.  At the age of 13 Anna hires a lawyer to gain medical emancipation from her parents.  She does not want to donate her kidney to her sister, but without this donation her sister will die.   Very interesting so far.   

Well I got to run and get to work.  Have a great day!

Made this recipe and froze the oatmeal to microwave each morning.  I think it will work pretty good.  It is yummy!
