I'm here!!! It's been a long week. Too much to do and not near enough energy! I think I am trying to get sick and that doesn't help things at all! I did go weigh in and I lost a whopping pound. I could have sworn it was more, but you know what they say, "The scale doesn't lie." I do FEEL a little thinner. And Coy says I am looking better, so there, Mr. Scale! I made the family spaghetti tonight and man did I want some. It smells so good! Grace had a volleyball tourbament this weekend. They placed third! That team has improved so much. Better yet, I drank my thermoboosts and had some apples during the game! It wa shard, let me tell ya. A friend plopped down beside me and had a huge bag of candy.......all kinds of chocolates...and a bag of twizzlers.....and the smell of popcorn. But I did it! I suffered a few moments, though. Poporn does sound good....Heck everything sounds good right now! I have been craving a fresh apple cake all afternoon. Now I have never made a fresh apple cake, or even had many in my lifetime. it just sounds good. See how I get when I get a littel run down? All I want is food, and not the good kind. I want sugar, carbs and more sugar. I decided not to do any work for work this weekend, since I feel bad and would have to probably redo it anyway because I would make so many mistakes. Plus it's nice to get a break. Even if it means I am snowed in next week. Sometimes you just need a break. Problem is I never wnat to go back after the break! Well, I better go fix me some chicken.
I am sitting here thinking about all the blessings I have in my life. I have been truly blessed, even if I ripe and mumble alot. (I am working on that!) Here's a short list of my current blessings.
1. Coy. I couldn't ask for a better husband. He's a support system all unto himself. He knows how to tlak to Grace and make her understand when I can't seem to get her to even listen to me.
2. Grace. My 13 year old smart as whip, beautiful athlete. She has it all and sometimes thinks she knows it all. But I love talking to her. She had the best junior high stories and growing up way too fast.
3. JoGail. My sweet precious blond. She's very kind hearted and loving. She was 'dating' a classmate the other week adn told me about it. I asked her if she liked him and she said not really but noone else does either. Yes, we had a talk. She also came home and made her sister a 'good job' card after the volleyball game today. She just has to learn that she can't sign her papers with my name and it look remotely like mine. And yes, her teachers look.
4. My job. Gosh where do I start? I have the best director and staff around me. Sometimes it's like going ot work with family. They know me better than I know myself sometimes. I can't imagine being a diag without them around me, supporting and encouraging me. The teachers I work with are amazing-mainly because they keep the kids the main focus.
5. Naps. Enough said. Especially the good kind where you just fall asleep adn wake up feeling refreshed. I get them on weekends. I don't get them at work!
6. Friends. I was thinking htis mroning about soem of my friends that I have known a LONG time. WOW. You know I have always heard that if you find one true friend in a lifetime you have been blessed. Well, I have been blessed many times over.
7. Family. Yep, My immediate family. I know I can pick up the phone and call and you would be here in an instant if I needed ya. You have accepted Coy and have always loved my girls.
Soemtimes it's good ot just take a break. And reflect.
