I need to get a Hysterectomy

It's scary to admit it but yep it's going to happen on November 27, 2012.  The Dr's are going to take out my lady parts. How do I feel about this....well I guess I don't need these parts anymore since having babies wasn't in my plans (had tubes tied 8 yrs ago).  The only thing that worries me is MAJOR SURGERY and what could happen.  Yes, I'm worrier but I do know this is for the best.

For the past month I've had 3 blood transfusions, been bleeding non-stop for 4 weeks now, and the pain OH MY!  My family is in consent concern on how I'm feeling and making sure I'm doing OK.  Some days are better than others.

The past couple years my periods have gotten worse and longer.  The first couple days I would need to stay in bed due to all the pain/cramps.  And the bitchiness OH MY way off the charts.  My family knew when to STAY AWAY.  The pain took over my life.  So basically I would loose a whole week worth of my life a month due to my bad periods.

Fibroids are the cause of this!  In my 20's fibroids caused many miscarriages, in my 30's they behaved but in my 40's they came back with a vengeance and haven't let up yet.  The Dr told me last week, "Your fibroids have taken over your uterus and it's now time for them to leave.".

Everyone who I know who has had a hysterectomy says its the BEST THING EVER and you will feel so good afterward.  I'm just hoping they are not lying to me...LOL!  Just kidding I'm sure this is what needs to happen and I'm looking forward to not having to deal with this crap every month.  My hubby is looking forward to it too!

Our Garden SUCKED This Year!

I'm the first to admit it...I'm not the garden kind of person.  I flip out when a bee comes round me plus jump when I see a spider so gardens have never been on my "must do" list!   However, our house we rent have a HUGE organic garden.  Last year's garden wasn't too bad.  We grew peas, beans, greens, carrots, tomatoes, corn, and peppers.  But this year about all we got was tomatoes and shit load of them too!  We have been giving away bags and bags of them for months now.  The beans died, the melons died and the wild flowers never came up!

The shining star of the garden this year was the SUNFLOWERS that my daughter planted!

My hubby promises he will make it happens next year!  I told him that the inside of the house is my domain and the outside is his domain.  I'm just not sure if he gets it yet!  I will go buy flowers to plant outside though- I love having fresh flowers in the kitchen.  

Any tips on how to become a gardener when you really don't have the gardener gene?

Grocery Shopping~ Organized or Not?

This happens to me about 85% of the time or I bring it and FORGET I have it.  Grocery shopping used to be fun but not so much these days.  Not sure what changed oh yeah FOOD PRICES have gone up so much.  I hate the BOGO deals because it seems they raise the price so really you are getting both items for what they should be sold at.  

I do sit down and make out a list but when I get to the store and find items on SALE then I change up my menu.  Stick to the PLAN PAM but it doesn't always happen.  I'm not a big coupon person but every once in awhile I'll use coupons but is it worth the time and trouble?  Some grocery clerks are not always so nice at a couple of the stores I go to- not because of the store I just thinks it's their personality- mad at the world syndrome.  They scare me from using coupons because I see how they treat others- rolling of the eyes and the way they speak to the customer.   However, it would be nice to save some money!  

The day I go grocery shopping I write up my weekly menu after researching for hours on Pinterest on the cool foods I want to make that week.  I try to write the list in order of the aisle of stores- keep me on track I guess.  

What are your Tips/Tricks on GROCERY SHOPPING?

Pompeian OliveExtra Premium Mediterranean Blend Review- 2 Thumbs Up!

Add the taste of the Mediterranean to your meals with Pompeian OlivExtra® Premium Mediterranean Blend, a perfect blend of extra virgin olive oil and grapeseed oil, as well as canola oil. Use Pompeian OlivExtra® Mediterranean Blend when making a salad, sautéing, frying, grilling, and even when you need a high-heat, all-purpose cooking oil.

This unique blend of oils is made up of predominantly monounsaturated fats (7.8 g/serving), which are considered relatively “good” fats, essential omega-6 (3.4 g/serving) and omega-3 (0.8 g/serving), Vitamin E (0.25 mg/serving), and can also be used with high heat cooking of up to 450°F and is a perfect replacement for your other vegetables oils, shortening and butter that contain high level of saturated fats. Consuming unsaturated fats instead of saturated fats can help lower your Cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart* disease. This advice is a key feature of the Mediterranean diet and is supported by the American Heart Association.

Pompeian OlivExtra® Mediterranean Blend can be used when cooking fish, seafood, meat, poultry, and vegetables. Use the Pompeian recipe book for lunch, dinner and dessert creations that may inspire you to try other Pompeian products!
