it isn't fair!

Okay, Scott will kill me with this post. Okay, not really, but he will not be ahppy about spilling his laundry on the internet.

So I won't, atleast not in detail. It is no secret I can stand to lose a few pounds (more each day). It is also no secret that I'm married to a guy who is THIN! He has seriously NOT gained a pound in the 14yrs we have been together. The real kicker is, he is loosing! I am wanting to lose weight and I need to get him to gain. This is no longer a thing about maintaining his weight, it is about putting poundage on him!

He stepped on the scale this morning, luckily someone had moved it around to ZERO, but the scale is off by 7 pounds. SO he was really 7 pounds heavier, still it is VERY disheartening to see him losing weight. He is not at a healthy weight and NEEDS to gain. I personally have no problem gaining, he does. So my quest right now is to help my husband atleast get his 8 pounds back that he used to have. I hadn't even noticed the weight loss. I feel horrible.

Now, to figure out a way to put healthy weight on him. Most searches on gaining weight on google sends me to weight loss places. I need a Weight Gainers, not Weight Watchers. I have looked and there are "diets" to gain. He is a no fuss kind of guy. He say's "give me triscuits and other snacks". He doesn't stop what he is doing to eat lunch so his luch will feed him for 3 hours or so. He eats breakfast at work too. I think he needs to STAY home for breakfast so I can monitor what he is really getting. I know I sound controling and "motherly", that is what he needs. He will not eat unless there is food prepared. That is how he is, his brothers are the same way. Good thing I cook. LOL!

How do you safely slow someones metabolism down?

Leave it to me to get the weird things! This is the second time in a mont that I have been "blessed" with this strange ailment! The last day of antibiotics (shot) last time was March 18th. I had started with Augmentin and that didn't work. They gave me a good shot of rochepin (a peanut butter shot) and that seemed to make a big difference quickly. I went back and got another, after the second I noticed remarkable improvement. I was SO excited! Then on Monday it started foming back. So it lasted two weeks. The next week we just did Rocephin shots. OUCH! I went round and round with the insurance company about an IV versus shots. The doctor recommended the IV because it would be less pain. I opted for the shot when I realized that the ER visit for 5 days would be about $400-500 a day. OUCH. So I got 5 rocephin shots that week. It was so much better by that Friday (18). YEAH! Fast forward to this past week. I was having similar pain and wrote it off as a sin

Goodbye Nala (graphic warning)

  The past 22hrs have been excruciating. 22hrs ago we were sitting down to a late dinner after helping buck hay. Ramen Noodles, the dinner of champions, ya know. We heard this HORRIBLE noise. None of us had a clue what it was. Someone said "It sounds like someone is dieing. Little did we know it was OUR dog! Scott went out to investigate. He was gone for a few minutes and when he came in, he had this look. I said "Do I need to come?". "yes" was the answer I popped up and threw shoes on. When I went outside I saw a car in the middle of the road with a dog BEHIND it. My thought was it was Danny and Nala was sitting there worried. When I went up the boy (17) driving said "she ran out in front of us". It took a minute to realize he was refering to my dog. She was on the ground mangled. Her back legs were a twisted mess. Not much blood but you could hear her troubled breathing. I thought the problem was just her legs. Later I found out d

Brazil

Just over three weeks ago, I recieved a phone call as I was getting out of the car to pick up pizza. It was a interesting conversation.... Scott: Uh, Hon, they want me to go to Brazil. Me: REALLY!!!??? WOW! Scott: ya, the catch is it is for TWO WEEKS. Me: I WANNA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott: you don't even have a passport. Scott served his mission in Sao Paulo South and came home 21yrs ago! He has forgotten a lot of his Portuguese. His company wants him to go set up a firm down there with their products. Scott is a no brainer chioce...been there done that type thing. I have asked him many times he wanted to go back. He was never very excited about it. When the phone call came and his voice was exuberant, I KNEW he HAD to go. Two weeks alone with the kids or not, he NEEDED to go. I thought I would solve the no passport issue fast and said "you can be there for work, then I'll meet up with you!". Sounded perfect! It would take me two weeks minimum to get my pa
