Karen 7/6/2017 8:37:36 AM edit upload | Thank you everyone! I'm so touched by the supportive feedback. This energizes me and compels me to want to dig in and work even harder to do things right. Yes...LT1985...I'm the one who submitted the frosted lemonade recipe...so glad it's a hit at your house! I was trying to replicate one of my favorite treats from a popular fast food place (lol...I'm sure you know the one). A frosted lemonade from that place used to be one of my favorite treats, so I was motivated to try to figure something out that might be MD friendly. Jenny...yes...I work full time at a very demanding job, but I do get a break now and then. I work in education (though I no longer teach) and though I work a longer calendar year than I did when I taught, I still get some nice blocks of time off...Thanksgiving...Christmas...Spring Break...and about six weeks in the summer. I'm so incredibly grateful for those blocks of time off because they allow me to catch up and balance things out. I know other people do this while working full time too...and my hat is off to those who work without those kinds of breaks. Like everybody else though...I've taken a big financial hit since MD came into my life, so I've now started doing some part time work (about 8 hours a week) during the summer and will continue with about 4 extra hours after work during the school year. I'm going to have make sure the extra funds will be worth the energy expended...but I'm also trying to get things more organized in my life in the hope that this will help to balance out that concern. Thank you all again for cheering my success. I cheer for each of you and pray for all of you as well. I love reading this forum and seeing how everyone is doing. I read it almost every day to "check" on all my fellow warriors...want to make sure everyone is doing ok. All of you are so brave and strong...and in my reflective moments it occurs to me that those of us traveling down this road are like a substance being forged through scorching heat. What we go through is tough...but when we come out on the other side...we'll have the strength of steel. My very best to everyone, and thank you again for your support. Love, Karen | |||
