Back Again

Well here I am again today.  I really don't know what to write but I was so excited to see that my sweet friends remember me.  I got up early this morning and walked 2 miles.  I have found a new walking buddy and that helps so much!  I am living with my daughter and her family since returning from Utah about a year ago.  I do like it and love having my Gkids around all the time.

 Anywoo.....they went to a family reunion and will be out of town till next week.  I did some just me grocery shopping and it was nice.  I don't usually food shop, or if I do it's for the family.  My family eats at all different times so I have been just grabbing some healthy take outs and eating when I want.  It's not like that all the time, but sometimes.If I am eating usually I have 5 faces in my face trying to "have just a bite".  Actually that has helped me not eat so much.

It's been an adjustment living with 5 kids and 2 more adults.  I am working doing house cleaning and elder care.  I have plenty of work and all in all life is good.  I have lots of free time when I am working the elder care so it is the perfect time to blog.  Planning on chicken and squash for dinner.  Lunch is a salad.  I forgot how I use to eat when I was loosing.  Having the kids gone for a week will force to to cook for myself and it will all come back to me......at least I hope so.

keep the mood and the food real.................

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...
