What a Wonderful Weekend I Had!

000_0815.JPG Good Morning Buddys!! What a Wonderful Weekend we had here!!

Here is a picture of my little Talan.  We are now into brushing teeth, you see he has not only 1, but 2 toothbrushes!! LOL!!! The words of the day are “brush teeth”, “coat”, “shoes”, “doggys”, “cheese”  and he couldn’t find me and he actually said to my husband wheres “ama”  LMAO!! OMGoodness…that really made my day!!! We picked little man up at 3:30 at my daughters work  on Friady and our visit was really cut short.  Saturday morning we had to drop him at the other Grammas :( at 11:30.  I was really disappointed, I expected to keep him all weekend, but realistically I know my heart isn’t strong enough.   I was tired as it was, but I wanted more time with Talan.

Not to worry, because on Tuesday Tim (his father) will drop him here at 9:00 a.m. and then go on a job search.  Saying prayers he gets something quickly, Michigan is known for high unemployment.

On the healthy eating front…we didn’t do to bad.  Weekends are especially difficult for my husband and I.  Today is a special day because my husband is actually going to eat healthy with me.  He has been trying, but we will eat the exact same meals.  It will be a challenge as I have 3 others to cook for, but I’m determined and see this as a new challenge.  I hate to fail, so with God on my side I can accomplish this!!

Finally, finally, we made it back to the YMCA on Sunday.  You know we were under severe storm warnings, but I didn’t care.  I just said a long prayer to keep us safe getting there and back home, and we went! Never felt better, although I could feel my body ache moreso because it had been a while.  I have been walking on the treadmill at home, but not faithfully like I should.

Soooooooooooo thats it…..new day….husbands on board 100%, my dad is good….my kids seem happy, my dogs make me smile, and God is Great, so what more could you ask for?  Well maybe a size 14 body….LOL!!! but that’ll come, sooner or later, probably much later, but it will make it!!!

Found this in a magazine…
