Women Who Eat Chocolate

Have you ever tried to find the best deal on a car for your kid? Esabelle is now almost 17 and we still don't have a car for her. We simply couldn't get one last winter, but now it's really time to do it. I've been searching on craigslist.com, and ebay searching for one that's cheap but won't let her sit by the side of the road. Kids this age always seem to think they need a "cool" car...I.E. one that's red and fast. I will not take a loan out for a car for her, so I'm looking for something that's cheap and runs. I never had a car when I was in school and rode the bus until I graduated. Belle said she would rather die than ride the bus....good grief. I always said they would have to pay for their own car.....but she just couldn't find a job this summer. With soccer coming up and lots of practices and games, it seems that now is the time. If anyone has a car that's cheap, runs, and they want to make me an incredible deal....

Okay, I think I am finally healing. I've laid low for about 3 weeks now---no working, no lifting, and for the last week and a half I haven't gone anywhere. I am finally able to sit down without my butt falling asleep, and the pain is lessening. Thank you God! It's been a trial, but I'm making it through. My family has been amazing....for doing everything for me and for putting up with me! And thank you mom for pulling my weeds and making me chicken and noodles....what could be better! I think I am actually leaving the house today.....finally....because the kids have been going crazy to see "Transformers"...and to tell you the truth so have I! I just love movies like that. Some of my fave movies include Armageddon...Independence Day...and so forth. I am a little worried about sitting for that long in the theater...it's getting so that I'm afraid to leave the house. I've got to heal sometime though so I'm going to go for it...a little ...

Well, I'm still in alot of pain. This is the second week I haven't been able to work. I don't know how much longer I can justify laying in my bed all day. :) To be honest, I can walk around and sit for awhile, but it kills me to drive. George called me (thinking I was feeling better), and wondered if I would go get Burger King for breakfast...(is that included in my french diet?)...hmmm.. Anyway, I decided I would try this. He's working up at the condos in Berlin, so I drove up there to get money and to get the food. Remind me not to drive again until I feel okay! I was in tears by the time I got back to the house. It was horrible. I think it must be the way I have to bend my leg to drive. I just can't do it.....and Belle is in California all week! She is my driver! At least I can sit for longer periods of time now....it's just ridiculous though. When you're sick you get better, but I guess with back pain it takes longer. I feel guilty bei...

Let me just say that I've been through the week from hell.....literally. If you've never had back pain then count yourself as lucky. I've had back pain before, but never sciatic nerve pain. Oh my word......the pain was indescribable. This is July 2, and it started in full force on June 22. With every throb it was like a knife slicing down through my leg. I couldn't sit, and I couldn't stand....all I could do was lay in my bed and cry. George didn't know what to do for me, and neither did my kids. When mom is down, the whole house is down! I've been to the Chiropractor 5 times for laser treatment, and it seems to be working. I'm actually able to sit down at the computer and type. What a ride. Although the pain was terrible, in a way it was nice to be waited on. I'm always the one waiting on everyone else, so meals being brought to my bed was nice. :) The hard part was eating them laying do wn! That was tricky! And I definitely got ca...
