The Day After...Or....A Day Late.....Or Ouch My Back Hurts

While everyone was enjoying their Christmas Dinners yesterday, I was in bed. My back went out on me yesterday morning. I managed to get breakfast cooked and presents opened. That was it. So, we had cold cuts, crackers and cheese for lunch and Velveeta Cheese dip with chips for dinner. My back hurt so bad I couldn't hardly move. At midnight I was in tears. (I wanted my momma...but she is far away...you can grow up but there will always be a little girl or little boy inside you.) So, I finally got to sleep. Phone rang this morning for our weekly Sunday call from Betty. I got up and cleaned the kitchen. No, it wasn't done. If I don't do it, it doesn't get done. So, ...no wait, Jeremy did clean it for me Christmas Eve. Anyway, I cleaned the kitchen and then started on my pies, next ham, potatoes, corn casserole, homemade yeast rolls, salad, etc. It's almost ready. Just waiting for Mark to get back from the store to put the rolls in. So, we are having our Christmas dinner a day late. Oh, my back is better, still a little tender, but much better.

Tonight I am taking down the Christmas tree. I know...your supposed to leave it up until New Years Day but I want it down. Mark and Jeremy are going to Northern Michigan tomorrow in Marquette and I am cleaning this nasty house!!! The last couple of days it has gone to pot. I am not going to let my house get as bad as the one in Rosenberg did. I refuse!!

As the New Year approaches I am starting to think of healthy meals that I am going to fix for my family. We are all going on diets. We have a bet that who ever loses the most by the time Jeremy moves up here in June gets $100.00. Wish us luck!!!

It starts January 2nd. Jeremy will go back to Houston on the 14th. He is on his own then.

Ok...hope you had a great holiday.

Love to all!!!
