The Headaches!!

I have been fighting horrible headaches for almost a year now, without knowing why. I have had ever test ran and still no answers. So, my wonderful boss told me to take everything out of my diet and start adding stuff back a little at a time. I ate only the basics for about 3 months. (I did lose 25 lbs also BONUS). I drank a Diet Dr Pepper, which I have lived on my whole life...got a headache. So, we are ok, is the caffeine or artificial sweeteners. So, I drank a cup of coffe...got a headache. So, ok no more caffeine. Drank water with the flavored stuff in it...got a headache. So, no artificial sweeteners. Had a couple pieces of chocolate...got a headacke. So, no chocolate. Was under a lot of stress for about a month...got a headache. So, have to keep stress level down. hahahahahah If that is even possible in any life. Went headache free for almost 4 months, then one day, headache!! That lasted for 2 weeks!!! Had not changed anything... I noticed cigarette smoke was really starting to stink to me!! (I have been a smoker since I was 13 years old!! Never bothered me before) So, Jason offered to start smoking outside and I scrubbed our house to get the smoke smell out! I have been headache free ever since! yay!!! My Mom is soo happy about this one! lol!!

OK, lets sum this up. Everything I have ever loved in life... Diet Dr Pepper, Coffee, chocolate, smoking (from time to time)and I could always do without the stress, but who goes thru life without stress??? But I am good with living without these things to not have to deal with the horrible pain of those headaches!! Worse pain in my life ever!!!!
Jason has been amazing thru all of this. From rubbing my forehead to try to sooth me to making sure I had my pill, to just letting me crawl in his lap and cry!! I could not have a more caring and loving husband!!
Doc, my boss, has also been very caring and understanding thru all of this. From letting me off when I could not stand to even get out of bed to trying to help me figure out what is causing all of this misery!!
I am a blessed woman to have two wonderful men in my life on a daily basis!!
As of now, 3 days without a headache!!! Please keep praying that they stay away!!!

The Weight fights cont.

First of all I want to say how proud I am of Jason. He set two goals and has already hit them! Me on the other hand...grrrrr! I have gained back what I lost. I am not even sure how it has happened, because I am still doing the samethings I was doing when I was losing! I have about decided that God wants me to stay this size for the rest of my life! I am not happy about it, but if it is His will, then what am I to do!
It is Christmas time again. It is the 9th of December. I have Christmas cards made out and addressed, but not mailed yet. Have not put up a tree or even decorated. One gift has been bought, but the others sit on my list of TO DO's. So, again I am waiting until the last minute to get stuff done. But it will be done just in time!
Hope everyone is having a great Holiday so far! Good luck on getting all of your Chirstmas List done in time!!
Love to all,
Kim and Jason

So, there you have it, I could go on and on, but sure don't want to bore you!

Jason and I pray all of you have a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving! Eat until you can't eat anymore and laugh until your tummy hurts!!

Through Thick or Thin! Week 1!!

Wanted to update all on our weight lose adventure! We are doing really good! Better than I thought we would. I have lost 8 and Jason has lost 10! You can't tell by looking at us....but we both feel amazing! More energy and we are both sleeping lots better! Pray for us that we stay strong through the holidays!!! Very happy with what we have done! So proud of Jason! Smokin'hott here we come!!

Through Thick or Thin!

First thing in the morning Jason and I are starting a weight lose program together! We are both so excited! I dont want to go into too much details until I know how well it works. If we have success I will pass it along. I will be keeping everyone up on how we are doing! Wish us luck and please say a little prayer for us. Our goal is not to just lose weight, thats a plus, but it is time for the Hesse's to get healthy. We have many many more years together and we want to make the best of them! AND....we are going to look damn good doing it!!!

Is it ever to late to START OVER??

Tomorrow I will be 41 years old! I am not sure how I feel about it yet! I feel like I have wasted so many years of my life. I will not bore you with the details, but some of those years were not good! My wonderful husband told me last night, as we were talking about this matter, that I would not be where I am and I would not have him in my life, if I had not gone thru all of the other junk! He is so right!! I am so blessed to have Jason as my mate for life! I have a great relationship with my beautiful daughter, Holly. I still have my parents, even tho they are pushing 80. I have two of the best sisters ever! I have a sister and brother in law I would not trade for anything. I have a set of in laws that really do think I am a "pretty good ole girl". I have a best friend that GETS me! And I am making new friends all the time. I also am lucky enough to have a boss the could not be any better, and his family has made me one of their own! So.. needless to say at the Eve of my Birthday I have so many blessing to count, I don't even have enough fingers to count them on.
My Dad use to say I would not make it to my 30th birthday, then it was my 40th birthday, now let shoot for my 50th birthday. God welling I will make it! He is the one that has gotten me this far..
So, back to my question, I started my life over at the age of 39. That is when I married Jason and realized that there is so much more to life then the way I was living it before! So, is it ever too late to START OVER?? I say Hell no!!! We only get one shot at this life, so make live it to the best of your ability and if you fall down and feel like your life is over, look up at the loving Father above and say, "Can we start over again?" I promise He will grab you by the hand, pull you up on your feet and say," LETS DO THIS!!!!"
Thank you Lord for giving me the many blessings in my life and for allowing me to START OVER once again!! So... happy birthday to me!!!!

Sickness on the Square!

Sorry I have not written in a while. Jason and I both have been under the weather! Just when I think we are getting better it comes back. Jasons tummy is not good and mine is mostly a head cold. With that being said...we have spent a lot of time together, here on the Square. I did get to go with Jason in the truck yesterday, and well if you know me at all, you know that is one of my most favorite things to get to do. As we are driving back home from a haul to Dalheart we saw the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen in my almost 41 years of life. To get to share that with the man I love, well makes it that much better! God is so awesome and sometimes just stops by to say,"I love you and I am here!"

We also had a scare this week.......
When I hear my Daddies ring tone after dark, it throws me into "what is wrong mod"!!!!!! I answer the phone and the first th thing Daddy says is, "have you seen or talked to your Mama?". I tell him I have not, not sence seeing them on Friday. He begins to tell me that she is not home and he doesn't know where she is. I tell him I will make some phone calls and see if I can find her. At the same time my heart is breaking, just hearing the worry in his voice. Well...if you know my Mom, Jason said call Walmart and have her paged! I laughed out loud, but knew he had a point, but she usually is not there at 8pm. I rack my brain trying to think of who to call. We decide I
should start with a call to the VFW, she has been working on Lady Axiliary stuff, so maybe someone has seen her. Sure enough...there she was at her monthy meeting. I call Daddy and put his mind to ease and tell him I love him.
The next morning Mama calls me and goes on to saiy how mad she is at MY DADDY! I try to explan to her that he was just worried! She says he is being bossy! So.... I let her ramble on...then I say I love you, but from now on leave a note.
