Good afternoon!
Comments (12)I like how normal our lives are. I enjoy hearing about your shopping, families, cleaning, and adventures. Kathy, will your son be home until he enters the air force? Will your daughter be with you for awhile? I have 3 daughters and love getting togtehr with them. Not always easy with their work and mommy obligations. I try to help them. Today DH and I went to some tile stores in the area. He would have preferred not, but he had nothing else planned. Does it make me a bad wife if it makes me nervous if he sits the day away? We are shopping for tile for the kitchen backsplash and tile for remodeling the master bath at the riverhouse. DH is the installer. We brought home samples for backsplash and have some serious contenders. We found tile we liked for shower and floor in bathroom. The new bathroom is long overdue like years. We have had a difficult time finding something we both liked. Not unusual for us. DH will measure bathroom and Monday we will order the tile. Our bedroom will get a major refresh also. All has to done by summer, 2018. Wishing you all a restful night....See MoreGood afternoon!
Comments (13)Mamma Pinky, No, he can not eat anything very thin, so he says. He can not get it in his mouth, will not use a smoothy straw even for that. Won't eat any other kind of cooked cereal, won't eat mashed potatoes with lots of gravy or broth to make it smoother. He will eat puddings, sometimes with small pieces of cake soaked into it. Won't eat any Jello. Will eat candied sweet potatoes with lots of syrup and mashed well. I do put eggs, milk, butter, bananas, cheese and such at different times in his oatmeal just to vary it. I don't even know if he tastes his food. Sometimes ice cream on top of the oatmeal. He does eat applesauce and he gets 4 nutritional drinks a day. Drinks some water and that is it. This has been going on for 3 years now. He has gotten worse since the stroke, because he would not continue his speech therapy. Speech and swallowing are sort of linked together, the muscles that is. So, that is the way it is. His speech is so terrible, most of the time I can not understand him. This was his second big stroke. He can not maneuver stairs very well, so twice a day I carry his meals up to him. He only wants to eat twice a day. We live in a bi level home, my kitchen, dining room and family room are down below. Living room and bedrooms up on the upper level, which is also ground level. I am sure there are many on here that have had to deal with a stroke patient. It also affects the mind.

Comments (11)mmmmmmmm.....steak sounds gooooood! the mamo...not so much....lol Just got a call from a medical insurance salesperson, not Obamacare, so it carries a penalty, which she says has not gone into effect yet. I paid it last year! She said Trump has halted all penalities until further notice. lol She was lying & using scare tactics to create a sale.....so frustrating to hear that. "For 2015, the penalty for no health insurance is $325 per person or 2% of your annual household income – whichever is higher. For 2016, the fee is $695 or 2.5% of your income — whichever is higher. For many people, that's more than the yearly cost of health plans they can find on HealthCare.gov.Dec 11, 2015"...See MoreGood afternoon!
Comments (14)I was not feeling well for most of last week- a virus that turned into bronchitis which is very hard on me because I have asthma. All is well enough now, so I am back to gabbing away at the KT. I missed everyone :-) Rob, I had a terrible itching reaction to a sulfa drug many moons ago- it's awful. I hope you feel better soon. Kath, Four hours at the dentist?? My mouth aches for you. Yuk. Mama pinky, Aren't great parent teacher conferences the best things ever? There is nothing better than seeing your child meet his potential. I am going to offer a bit of unsolicited advice, because I learned this lesson a bit late in my parenting journey- I hope you don't mind. Carol Dweck from Stanford suggests we only reward effort and perseverance- never outcomes. A lot of bright children hardly need to study to do well in the young grades and are used to being praised for their results. Once they reach a stage where they need to study, they have not developed very good study skills and their self image is tied up in being a good student, so they are a bit stuck and often give up. Dweck popularized this theory when it was too late for me to learn from it. You should have seen the auditorium full of parents of late elementary/ middle schoolers when she spoke about this. We were all devastated at not having done a very good job. If I were you I might consider a special dinner or dessert with a "toast" to how well the boys stayed on top of their work and turned in their assignments and add anything meaningful you know about- like when Chip or Tim helped some one else learn, or struggled and learned something, etc. Motivation is a tricky thing....See More- 8 years ago
