My American sister got engaged in July. I am really happy for her and her fiancé. I've seen photos of them together and they look like a perfect match :). We wanted to send them an engagement present. They've just moved to Florida so we waited for the new address and now have it. Have you any idea how hard it is to make an elegant gift if you have to use bubble wrap? Seriously. Cannot be done! But we hope they will enjoy the present :).
What else? Well, little girl and I planted tulips today to our back garden and yesterday another type of a flower to the front garden. Little girl really liked throwing the tulip bulbs in the little ditch. I think the best part of being a stay at home mom is just this: just about everything ordinary is facinating to my daughter and I get to enjoy watching her learn new things every day. We even encountered a ladybug which was pleasant enough to let little girl poke her.
The rest of the family are fine but I've had tummy problems and had to see a doctor last Friday. I knew it wasn't anything serious since I didn't have a fever but I had felt miserable since Tuesday evening. Now this is the thing no one tells you when you're trying to loose weight and therefore try to eat really healthily. Tummies don't necessarily like it. Mine hates it.
I am embarassed to say that I have to eat a very strong antacid for the next two weeks. There is a chance I have stomach ulcer, too, and the medicine I'm having would be perscribed for that as well. So, for now no one knows weather I was suffering from too much acid (and let me tell you it really, really, really hurts - although not quite as much as giving birth) or stomach ulcer. I'm pretty sure, though, it's just acid. Or, rather it's the acid, there is nothing "just" about it.
Why is it I feel so middle aged because of having to eat antacids, though? I've had a hyper sensitive tummy all my life so this was not spectacularily surprising. But still. Antacids. When you're pregnant you go through tons and tons of them. In fact I still keep finding Rennie tablets from the pockets of my coats. But I'm not pregnant and I wish I didn't have to eat them again.
On the plus side the medicine helped - it took almost a week - but it did help. The pain is gone and yesterday I was for the first time hungry for real when it came time for dinner. I love food so not feeling like eating anything was really weird and almost frightening. Yes, I have my issues with food - mainly that I like it too much - but the thing is that I also love making food and I would like to enjoy eating it as well.

Don't feel old! Especially if this problem hereditary. Age is just a state of mind. Everyone has these kinds of problems, just not everyone comes out and talks about them, because they feel embarrassed. Like when I had lumbago at the ripe old age of 25. :-) I couldn't get out of bed for a week except to hobble out to the bathroom. Now that's when I really felt old! But the fact is, that we do get old. All we can do is find the humor in it and grow old gracefully and with dignity. And pray to God that all that stuff about gaining wisdom as we grow older is not just a myth. :-D
PS. I love food too! Mustamakkara rules!
Hello Mia Pusa,
I see that you are interested in Christianity.
I think that the website www.netzarim.co.il will be of interest to you and your readers. It contains research about Ribi Yehoshua (the Messiah) from Nazareth and what he taught. It also contains research about church history.
Have a nice day!
Anders Branderud
