Some days there is no one I know having a birthday. Today there is a rush of names.
I have tried for non political quotes from the politians.
Interesting too - to see the occupations listed for some.
My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.
George Washington
We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.

The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.

Every mind which has given itself to self-expression in art is aware of a directing agency outside its conscious control which it has agreed to label 'inspiration'.
Norman Lindsay : Australian Artist
Born: February 22 , 1879
Died: November 21 , 1969
The Constitution does not just protect those whose views we share; it also protects those with whose views we disagree.

Oh, My, now can I keep up with Lynlee in my day today! Lynlee, are you getting the bedtime routine the way you want it these days? I had never heard those words by Washington about his mother.
Dee, I think this is one of the reasons Calcium and Magnesium are often contained in the same capsules. They work together in the body, but more than that, magnesium has the opposite digestive effect so they balance. But, yes, if you are taking calcium carbonate just changing to calcium citrate like Lynlee says might make the difference. Harvard School of Public Health letter on calcium The only mineral supplementation I do is to buy the Himalayan Sea Salt instead of regular.
I see lucylee is joining Elizabeth in finding money. How do I get in on that!?!
We had chili last night too, Harmony. HRH likes to use the Carroll Shelby "kit", but he doesn't use anywhere near all the salt/corn flour they include. I think it was a little high in sodium for me still, though - I'm puffy today!
Not much has changed since I was last in the village...my life is still way too busy, my stress levels way too high, and I still wake up at stupid hours (it was 2am when my eyes popped open - after about 3 hours sleep!). Fortunately, I'm on 12 days off - 4 of them left including today - so I can nap later if I need to.
My grand plan for the holiday time was to work on getting my house under control. However, DD has been going through a rough time (another long story involving a vindictive property manager), and I've spent most of the last week putting out fires in that area *sigh*
I think I'm going to go upstairs and do 15 minutes in each of the rooms. If I'm not back in about an hour, you'll know the nap monster reached out from under the bed and grabbed me!

Bookie - I haven't researched the different and how it affects the body, but I ran across "Plant based calcium" a month ago. Sam's Club sells it. Sorry I don't know more about it, but I just wanted to toss it into your calcium consideration options.
I didn't go to sleep until 1:30am. Uggghhh! DD txt last night and asked to speak to LO. He called her and they talked a grand total of 16 seconds before LO said told her he had to go. Shhhheeeez. After all these years you would think it wouldn't gut me to hear her voice. I miss her. I laid there for hours once again working through the "what ifs" while I tried to find a solution. Thankfully, LO didn't have any problem falling asleep.
Taking a deep breathe and going to the next phase of the day.
I've made breakfast burritos for DH. It is one of his favorite breakfast meals.
Next up -
** Processing MPB daily gross....it is tucked here and there....stacked up in hidey holes because it is 8 days behind
** LOL going
** dishes soaking in hot soapy water
Last LOL in process. Laundry basket is empty. First half of MPB processed and sent to the bank. When the bank bags are returned I'll do the next 4 days. Half of kitchen is cleaned and scrubbed. 3rd round of dishes soaking now.
Lunch prep is underway......Mexican rice ingredients are out ready to be cooked. I'll make refried beans from pinto beans cooked a couple days ago. Homemade Salsa and chips are ready to be put on the table.
Next up -
** check tomato & pepper seeds for signs of germination
** update garden spreadsheet for seeds planted yesterday
** sew tail back on LO's stuffed rabbit
Well, we have gotten some snow!! More than predicted; we were predicted to maybe get 1 inch. I think we've gotten around 2 inches.
Dh got safely home last night. I ended up staying up, so I too was not in bed until almost 2 a.m.
Done:
x s2s, teeth care
x tidy kitchen - I didn't do this last night.
x errands - WW (up 1 lb. *sigh*), library, gassed the van
x lunch; chatted a bit with dh who has now left for work. (He was working at home earlier.)
Next:
-update laundry
-make bed
-dd14 to eye appt. at noon
-dd14 to X ray
Later today: write out a couple snail mail bills, work on teaching, tidying that I didn't get to yesterday. I'm going to a women's program at our church tonight at 7. I don't normally go to this monthly program -- it is a bad time for me as I'd rather spend time with my family than with a large group of women. This month, however, we have an author speaking, so I'd like to hear her. I've read one of her books, and the moms group teachers are considering using one of her books as a framework for teaching next year. Her ds is one of the missionaries our church supports and they are here from London for the missions day we're having at church tomorrow. I know of another missionary couple in Siberia from our church that will also be there. . . Tomorrow should be interesting1
