the bird park
















Had a great evening last night with my grandsons. We had spagetti dinner ( their favorite ) and then watched a movie all of us in bed with popcorn. Turkey spagetti and lite popcorn. They didn't even know they were eating healthy! I had made a bed on floor for the 5 year old, but somehow in the middle of the night I was kicked out of my bed to the bed on the floor. It was the only way to get some sleep. I was up my usual time, the butt crack of dawn, and was waiting for them to wake up. We had Kashi waffles, turkey bacon, and strawberries. Then we headed to the bird park. We somehow managed to lost, again. ( I secretly like to get loss, then I get in more steps ) By the time we were almost back to the car, the 3 year old refused to pudge, so I had to carry him. They both said they were ready for a nap.....what a laugh that was! I took some pictures this morning and thought I would share them.
I will admitt I binged yesterday....but on low cal healthy stuff. I did however get to that uncomfortable full stage. Hated it. Wished so bad I hadn't done it. That was before 4pm. I did mange to get back on track, but still felt full when I fell asleep. I weighed at my daughter's. I don't know why I do that it's not right. Anyway, I weighed the same as last week. WW WI is tomorrow night, so we'll see what happens. I am ok with it. Sometimes the death of a loved one, no matter how much of a blessing, can throw me for a loop. I lost my husband on Christmas day in 1996, my dad 10 days later and my mother was gone by September of that same year. It was a rough year. death doesn't scare me, or freak me out. It's being left behind. sometimes.....
Enough of that....all in all feeling good. I am making good choices today. I have made arrangements to get some counseling, and I feel good about that too. Hope everyone is having a beautiful Sunday. I am off to get ready for church. I hope I don't sweat to death today...I'd like to stay the entire time.
Life is good..........stay grateful

    Your grandsons are beautiful! Sounds like you had a wonderful time. My Mom used to have popcorn parties with her grandkids, they'd snuggle up in bed and watch Disney movies while eating popcorn. Always made me sad my son never knew his Grandma.

    96/97 must have been excruciatingly painful for you.

    Take care.

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
