The Devil Horns Are Not A Hit
Tigger doesn’t like her Halloween costume. I bought her a pair of doggie devil horns. Can’t even keep them on her long enough for a picture. She’s figured out how to get them off uber-quick!! Corey is hiding under the bed, out of my reach and out of the broom’s reach… he sees the grief I’m putting Tigger though, so he took off, never to be seen again. LOL!
So, Happy Halloween to everyone! I’m not MIA… work is insanely busy. I’m going to work, working there for 8 hours then coming home and working 3-4 more hours every day. By the time I get off the computer from doing work stuff, I really don’t wanna look at the little silver box any more. This is a busy time at work - through the end of January, so my blogs will be few for now. But know that I’m hanging in there. I’ve stuck to my plan and am currently maintaining. Not losing because I’m expecting Aunt Flo to visit in a week or so, so my bod is retaining water like crazy. I know once that’s over with, I will show a loss.
Mom and Grandma are here from E. TX - they’ve been here since the wedding a week and a half ago. I’m enjoying having them around. And get this… are you ready? I mean, you should probably sit down….
I’ve actually been cooking for them in the evenings! They’re on MY eating plan and are loving it. I’m actually enjoying the cooking. I can’t believe I said that outloud. I think what my problem is that I don’t like to cook for myself. Because just in the last week, I’ve cooked every night and served it up. My mom says I’m spoiling her. She deserves to be spoiled though because she’s the 24/7 care-giver to her 86 year old mother. And if any of you can relate, you know how hard that job is. It’s like having a baby in the house again. Role reversal. Grandma can still get around and she goes to the potty by herself, but she can’t cook, can’t bathe or really do much of anything but sit in her chair all day. Mama takes her outside in the backyard almost every day so she can have a change of scenery. Especially since the weather here in TX has been amazing the past 10 days or so.
Anyway - I wanted to let you all know that I’m still alive and kickin! Rockin’ & rollin’. And all that jazz.
I hope everyone’s having a great week!

Glad to see you are still out there. Sorry about the nonconformist pooch. She knows evil when she sees it. Poor little baby. I think it is so funny to see a dog dressed up and then see them yawn because they are so NOT amused by it all.
So funny!
Have a good week and hope things slow down for you at work.
So glad to read you’re doing well. Keep it up then!
Hey, they had a segment on the radio about people who dress up their pets for Halloween and I have to tell you, I am GUILTY as charged. My dogs have been devils, witchers, race car drivers, policemen, you name it, they’ve been it for Halloween. They don’t like it though and we put them in costume only long enough to snap a shot of them! Ahhh, I miss my pups come to think of it, they’re at my parents and I won’t be visiting tonight.
Anyhow, good for you for cooking and spoiling mom and for sticking to your plan even though you’ve been crazy busy and so you know….I too have been crazy busy, so I am sad, sad to say, that I can relate. Hey better busy than unemployed. I mean don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind a vacation, but I do need $$$!! LOL!
I took care of my grandmother until she passed away. I thought when I took the job that it would be easy. However, it was the hardest thing I ever went through. My grandmother had dementia really bad. It’s good that you are cooking and that you are spoiling them. You are doing good. Keep up the good work!
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, HIGH FIVERS to mom. She must have a beautiful soul to do that for grandma. Dad lives with us now after his stroke, but its low maintenance right now, but I also know there is going to come a day when it isn’t going to be, and hopefully when that time comes, I’ll be able to quit work so that I can keep him with me. That’s my plan anyway.
I love it that you cooked for them, YOUR food and YOUR plan.
Doesn’t it feel good when you can cook a healthy meal and get kudos for it?
Glad to see you blog and check in Miss Lena.
Huggggggggggggggggggs,
Shan
