... quick update & a blog re-do ...
Saturday, May 10, 2008
  

Couldn't sleep as I forgot to take my Claritin before bed, so I am up surfing the net ... such a time waster, I know - I really need to work on it as I find myself sitting here WAY too much each day. There are so many things that I should be doing with my time.

Anyhoo, I felt like my blog needed a little spring re-do and so played around a little last night. I have removed some things from the sidebar. I am not going to keep up the More than Rubies Monday meme as I just don't have time.

My job is keeping me at the computer enough and my son needs me to help him with some skills during the summer, so the blogging is only going to happen as I have the time to blog. Since my priorities are out of whack right now, it will probably be a bit infrequent as I get a better schedule going. Too many things are going undone each day.

I have had another reaction to something I ate ... not sure if it is wheat-related or if I also have issues with dairy, but I have been a bit miserable since Thursday. I hope that I can pinpoint the problem and work to eat the right things. I have not been exercising or eating like I should  ... again, need to work on my priorities and make my health take on an importance that I have not shown it in several months.

I hope you have a lovely Mother's Day and a great weekend ... I'll be back as soon as I can!




Blessings on your day ... Kris
