You have to go to the doctor in 2014 and take care of your health, most important because your beautiful children need you to be running after them :) I bet Turken had a wonderful time with you alone.

I'm with ya on the meals - I enjoy anything I didn't make. I can't imagine giving pigs shots, let alone in the neck. I get the funeral thing too. Some of the best visits with family are at funerals. We're all a little more humble, more forgiving.

I'm not ready to show that to my 10 year old. :)<br /><br />We just played that game yesterday! My sister texted me last week and said they were playing and I needed to come to Kentucky and play it with them.

For two years, I had doctor appointments and blood draws at least once a month. Add in all the kids' appointments and dental appointments, and I just needed a break. And then my doctor left the practice. I wasn't quick about finding a new one. I'm on it now, though. Thanks for the encouragement.<br /><br />I was shocked, to say the least.<br /><br />Thank you!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-32019976825534463452013-12-31T14:27:57.503-05:002013-12-31T14:27:57.503-05:00Yes ma'am.

If he likes him, I will make an appointment to see him, too. <br /><br />It had to be some serious work for her to get this hop together. I'm glad she did, and I'm glad to see how many people are linking up with her.<br /><br />I'm glad, too. Now to keep it going...<br /><br />How can the best bits not be about my family?

You are welcome. :)
Ha...Thanks! Hope you like it!<br />You are welcome. :)<br />Ha! That is exactly what our parody is, "What Does the Mom Say?" <br />We are hitting that age of wight gain, or working harder to avoid it. My sister is happy, as she has always struggled with weight, while watching me eat whatever I wanted. She finds joy in my weight gain. I don't blame her. <br />I WILL KEEP GETTING CHECKUPS! That's the thing about putting my lackadaisical attitude about the doctor on my blog. Lots of people are ready and willing to stay on my butt until I get it done.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-9043085372687543022013-12-31T14:18:44.939-05:002013-12-31T14:18:44.939-05:00Well, it's not like I held back on the cookies...Well, it's not like I held back on the cookies and ice cream and crap either.

I'm so glad Joy made these wonderful questions and that you answered each of them rather than cutting any out.<br /><br />I'm really glad you're DOING the friendship thing and buying presents and writing notes for your friends, rather than thinking about it and letting it go. That's personal growth right there, and I expect that they'll be hugely touched that you thought so much about them. Hope it goes really well.<br /><br />Still so happy to read that all of your best bits and most wonderfuls are about COW and your brood. The iPad and the inscription are the sweetest thing ever :)<br /><br />And thank you for the times you've let me know you're praying. I've been so grateful for that, and just knowing it has helped immeasurably.<br /><br />Also - can't WAIT for your version of What Does The Fox Say, and thanks for getting us into it over here :D Niece still loves it and boogies away.<br /><br />(Hey, if you love blogging, then you'd LOVE Twitter...)<br /><br />((And duh - disco shoes?

If I manage to get anything written in the next 24 I think I'll call it Year End Review so thanks in advance for the title ;-) Christopher got me to watch the "What does the fox say" video ONE time. That thing is catchy isn't it. I use the tune for anything. If Christopher asks me "why?" to something I said "no" to, I sing, "What did the mom say?" LOL. You've got that right about stuff being delicious that you didn't have the make! And sigh this has been my biggest battle with trying to even maintain my weight. Last year my doctor told me I was about that age so get ready for it. She was right dangit. Now for my fuss - KEEP GETTING YOUR CHECKUPS!!! Okay?Kenya G.
