I need some advise.
After several blood tests it has been found that I have some rather severe
vitamin deficiencies.  A, D, and Zinc being the worst.

It's hard to imagine that it was only 2 years ago I gave birth to a
hurricane :)

DS has turned 7 on Friday and had the day he wanted. It took a day or so to
get over that he wasn't having a party this year. Then he decided how he

throat thing from the last couple of weeks.  My throat still hurts and I
still have tons of ulcers on my tonsils.  Still congested, but not as bad as

Okay, I"m back.  What's been going on?  I am NOT going to pull a Mo.
There's no way I can catch up with all of this!!

I guess I'm back on track with the weight loss again, although it's a

had my 'eat as much as you can' episode. Still, it's a pound down from
last week. I think I'm back in the excercise habit again too, ...

I am redoing my bathroom, it happened mostly by accident.  I didn't *intend*
