So, Another busy Saturday. Second meeting of the Shirley Slater Dia-Betters Foundation. It went well, typed up the meeting minutes and emailed to my Aunt. After the meeting I went shopping at Goodwill for some toddler toys for my kids. Elmo chicken dance toy, a whole bunch of fisher price little people, the alphabet caterpillar, a manipulative farm, six new wooden puzzles, a xylophone, and a couple others I cant remember right now. After we went to lunch at Wendy's and then dinner again at Bertucci's


Chicken Piccata
Fresh lemon, capers, white wine, Romano and fresh herbs atop tender breaded chicken filets over spaghetti. Served with a side Insalata or a cup of soup.

It was cooked well, but I really didn't like the lemon flavor on it. I enjoyed Eric's "Baked Tortellini & Chicken Gratinati (Tri-color cheese tortellini with chicken, cream, ricotta, mozzarella and Romano, brick oven-baked and sprinkled with diced plum tomatoes.)" much more than my own dinner and ate more of his than mine.

At home more school work and now to bed.

Thanks for listening!

So, today has been a very lazy day. I started out with a soda, the end of one chip bag cause that is all I could reach from my chair. I only got up for bathroom breaks. I got the shakes around 3pm, after a ton of pretzels cause that was all I could reach, I ate two starburst candies and they shakes went away. I think it isfor sure that sugar first thing in the day probably kick starts my insulin maker and sends it into overdrive, and with nothing to break down, I start feeling hypoglycemic. Nothing I can do about it right now, maybe when I get back into my own place I can try Medicad again. Not sure if Pennsylvania will be more like Iowa or Florida on what they will cover.
Yesterday was a day to remember. The day that all my planning for the last six months finally came to and it was a blast! We had a rocky start since I had never planned a party nor threw one before. But it did smoothed out and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Lila was upset about her hair but I thought it was gorgeous!


And of course my Aunt was surprised! Thank God she didn't suspect a thing. There was plenty of food as Eric was worried there wouldn't be. And the cupcakes I got from Pathmark were really good, Lila ate four of them, but since it was her party I let her. She got a bunch of presents that she was happy to get. Surrounded by her friends.


So after yesterday I figured I deserved a rest and refused to do anything constructive today and did not get out of my chair unless I had to. Eric cooked dinner, Steak and baked potato. Next week might see a new addition to my toddler room and noone will be allowed in starting Monday! So happy about that. I am also gonna try to get over to the apartment complex I am looking at to talk to them about an apartment. I might actually get a few grand from my school loans, hopefully that will help us get into an apartment.
Well, that is all for now. Please hit the donate button if you please. Thanks!!

Hello!

Today is Lila's 7th birthday! Today school was cancelled due to excessive heat, can you believe that? Apparently the elementary schools have no air conditioning, hell, most of the buildings here in Pennsylvania don't have air conditioning! So, we started our day with an argument with Eric over the heat and breakfast, but after we all ate it got a little better. Lila showed a genuine compassionate side today. Eric bought ham, egg, and cheese hotpocket, and a sausage, egg, cheese hotpocket. Lila picked the sausage but when she learned I didnt like ham, she got upset and said I could have the sausage ones instead and when I refused she offered a compromise, one of each for both of us. She has never done that. She said today is a special day and she wanted to be nice today. That didn't really last long,but was sweet when it happened.
I spent most of the day on the second floor cleaning out the new room. Took me all day and just got all the clothes bagged up. My aunt moved around her third floor. After work, Lila decided Nifty Fifty's for her birthday dinner. We got burgers and fries all around. Then the restaurant sang Happy Birthday to Lila and gave her an ice cream. At home it was relax time, got my assignments for the week lined up, I know what I have to do there. Showed off the Snow White dress I got for Rowan. I got a cape with hood, rain poncho, bag/purse, backscratcher (which Raven loves), a fan, sports tape, and a new dress for Raven.
Well, that is all for today, talk at ya tomorrow peeps!!

So, today has been a fun filled day. For lunch we had Burger King. Then I went to PathMark and got a Red Velvet Cake with an "Over the Hill too OLD to count" candle and surprised my Aunt Ginny with the cake and presents for her birthday which is TOMORROW! She is gonna be 50!


And since Lila, Raven and myself all got something we wanted this weekend, I decided to take Eric to the restaurant he has been wanting to go back to, Bertucci's.

I ordered the Rigatoni, Broccoli, Shrimp in Lemon Garlic sauce and two, yes I said two, Tiramisu Martini's





Eric ordered the "Taste of Bertucci's"



Raven had the Ultimate Pizza



The food was oh so good, and service was even better. So worth the price, even though we spent $91.85. And they even gave us cute little boxes for our leftovers.


Ending the day at home, snuggled in my little chair, watching Four Brothers and continuing my read of David Eddings "The Tamuli"
