Another week has come and gone.
Ellen | September 5, 2008Wow the time is flying by,
yesterday I didn’t have Brooke , I had a fairly busy day just the same.
first I walked down to use the vibe machine and then walked to the store and then home. from store to home carrying about 20 lbs of groceries. I was getting pretty tired by the time I got home and then I got to thinking,, 20 lbs,, that is close to what I’ve taken off !!!! so really I was just carrying the old me home today !
after lunch I decided to tackle my flower beds, the poor things have been very neglected this year due to me having the grandbaby pretty much every day. so I put on the old clothes and set out to rectify that. I completely cleaned out my big flower bed , took everything out of it and worked the soil all up to get it ready for the 75 new bulbs that I have coming to get planted for next year. and then I set out to clean up the other 4 beds , I pulled weeds, thinned out plants, cut back the dead ones ect. then I had to get ready and get my butt in gear and get cleaned up to go to my dr appointment, they finally got results back on the x rays I had done back in JUNE ! apparently I’m going to need to see a specialist about my wrist there are clusters of little cycsts in there that have little barbs on them and the barbs are breaking off and floating around scrapping on things which is what causes the pain I get.
after the dr appt. i came home and peeled carrots, turnip and potatoes to put in my pot roast dinner. and after dinner back into the old clothes and back to the flower beds to finish up the clean up and work up the soil some more.
On top of all the work when I was coming into the house last night after finishing up the last of the outside work I tripped on my deck and came down on my knee and hand so I hurt the OTHER wrist and have a big black bruise the palm of my hand and knee.
I think I got my work out yesterday don’t you think ? haha
here are a few new pictures of Brooke she is doing so good at balancing herself for a few seconds at a time. here she is standing. and her “best side pic.”
Have a wonderful weekend folks !! Thanks for stopping by

I like the analogy of the weight you lost and
Bobbie | September 6, 2008I like the analogy of the weight you lost and the 20 lbs. of groceries. You must feel great after losing the weight.
If you think you’re getting a workout working in the garden, just wait until Brooke starts running around. That’s a workout!!
Take care and have a great weekend.
She's standing! Brooke is changing so fast...gramma will have to
Faye | September 7, 2008She’s standing! Brooke is changing so fast…gramma will have to baby proof the house up higher now.
Hope the bruising you got yesterday isn’t sore today. I finished cleaning up and dead heading a bed yesterday too. It just seems to rain or else I’m at the beach when I’m not working. Smart to put on a pot roast so you could garden some more instead of standing over the stove. With all the rain were supposed to get today I’ll have read or something this afternoon…as though that’s punishment haha!
Hugs, Faye
Hey mom, I hope your wrists are hurting too bad today.
Shan | September 7, 2008Hey mom,
I hope your wrists are hurting too bad today. Kev and I have been approved for xmas now it is just a matter of finding a flight out without loosing 2 arms and a leg. Brooke is a weed, just keeps growing and growing.
