What are the odds?

What are the odds?? I got pulled over again. This time I think they targeted my crap car. For not coming to a full stop before crossing onto the sidewalk. I was only given a verbal warning again. It's like he chased me down. There were 2 patrol cars. Seriously scared me. Back in the old days I went to jail every time I got pulled over. I always had a warrant for something. So it was like a flash back when that happened yesterday. I thought my heart was going to explode. I knew I hadn't done anything wrong, but man it freaked me out. Anyway, alls well that ends well.

The fridge is out. For sure. I am suppose to get a new one today. I might have to wait till tomorrow. I am going back out to my daughter's today to spend the night. My SIL deserves to be able to sleep in one day. He has been up half the night with my daughter and then up early with the kids. I am hoping to be less stressed this time. Last week I came home with a sore jaw from the tension of it all. When you're not used to kids it can get nerve racking. Sometimes I am feeling all "grandma-y". Other times not so much. Daughter still has the bun in the oven. Waiting is so hard.

Walked 4 miles this morning. Food still not great, but ok. No food comas. No binges. I count that as a victory. H2o is been lots better. Feeling better emotionally. Settling in to a new routine. I feel calmer. Less anxious. So good for me.

Hope everyone has a good hump day. Keep the mood and the food real......

    Oh my goodness, Dana. I guess the good news is that you got a warning rather than a ticket. I hope your trip out to the daughter's is more fun and less tension filled this trip.

    Well, I think we can surmise that you have a thing against stopping, lol! Glad it was just a warning, but wow, I can only imagine how your heart must have been pounding when you got pulled over! Not fun at all.

    I'm sure things are stressful just because the baby's arrival is imminent - you are such a sweet MIL to go over there and give your SIL a break!

    This gave me a chuckle because I feel like I'm a magnet for cops - er, police. I swear they see me do what 20 people in front of me are doing but I'm the one who gets stopped. Lucky, and cheaper that you got the warning. Better settle down there girlie! (Kidding!)

    Glad to hear you didn't get a ticket. Hard to believe you've been stop on the bike and in the clunker lol, poor you. Hopefully you are off everyone's radar now. Hope you get to feeling better emotionally soon. Sweet of you to help out so much with the kids I'm sure they really love having you there. *hugs*

    Police departments are feeling the recession, too. I think that is why are they really nitpicky lately. We got a ticket for not coming to a full stop before turning right at a red light. Right turns on red were allowed. WTF?

    Anyway, glad you got a warning.

    I always feel my heart throbbing when I am pulled over or find a police car behind me even when I have not done anything. So, I am with you there.

    Nice work on the walking. Good luck with the kids!

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...
