the best diversion

Thanks for the kind words yesterday. The woman is truly a nut. I had to go to her house to get checks signed yesterday and she acted like nothing had ever happened. Overly nice. Why, oh why do I let her mess with my head. I know she's a nut. It's not about me. It never is. If only I could remember that when I am feeling so hurt. Enough about her, let's talk about me.

I had the 2 Ggirls over for a GeGe sleep over. Had so much fun. We went swimming and had a healthy dinner of salmon and veggies. Then we watched a movie and hit the hay early. Up at 4:30 am. Their little heads popped up when I said we were going for a walk. Had a good brekkie and then hit the bird park. All that and the kids were home by 8am and was at work. Not too shabby! It was just the diversion I needed.

I have decided to take a 4 day weekend starting Thursday. Going to take a "me" day and get ready to head to Utah. The schools will be closed next week, but I will be on call. The construction guys will still need to get paid. So will everyone one else.

I am taking care of myself. (thanks Miz for the reminder ) Keeping up with walks. Eating much better and slugging down the H20. I also have lots of people to use as sounding boards. Misery really does love company.....lol.

Best get to work. I must remember not everyone has to like me...REALLY. Life will still go on. It always does. I have adorable pics of the girls from the park this morning. Will post them later. I forgot my cord.

Keep the mood and the food real...........

    What a wonderful statement - "I must remember not everyone has to like me...REALLY." So true and so hard, sometimes, to remember. Glad you are feeling better and letting crazywoman own her misery.

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...
