New pics and an Update on my Weight and My Mom :o)
Well, it's late Thursday night / early Friday morning depending on how you look at it--- and me, my husband and our 15 year old son just got back from seeing "The" Buddy Guy Live live in concert. Man I gotta tell ya, he still has it and he was just simply amazing. I'll be uploading a couple of new pics in my photo album of us tonight **So check out my concert pics of me and my family!!**
Yes, I'm still alive, I know I've been neglecting my blog, but since I work now, and since I take my mom to get her Chemo and to all of her other Dr.s' appointments and my MIL and SIL to theirs as well, I just don't have time to do anything.. I know it's bad and I should take time, but what can I do there's only 24 hours in a day and I only get to sleep about 4 hours a day and the rest of the time I *have* to be somewhere or I'm *having* to clean the house or wash clothes or walk the dogs. I have only been on the computer about a handful of times since I started working-- and that's only because I was paying a bill online or whatnot. I feel so bad, I have lost touch with just everyone and I feel horrible. I just have not been the kind of support you all deserve. I feel like I've let a lot of you down by not posting and keeping in touch, and for that I'm sorry.
. But I never new I would or could ever be this busy.
. But I never new I would or could ever be this busy.I have been doing great weight wise, I am 130.2 pounds and I am even having TOM, he came for a visit last night after about 45 minutes of me being at work. That was fun.
So I have kind of been stuck with my weight. I'm not sure my body is gonna give the last 10 pounds up or not, but I'm fighting with it every day. I'm hoping when TOM leaves in a few days I hope he takes about 4 pounds with him. I'd be ever so grateful.
If he did take 4 pounds with him, I'd weigh 126.2 - Oh man that would so rock! I know it's not all about numbers, but this is a personal goal. It's very important to me that I reach MY magic number, it's to prove to myself that I am the one in control, not the food. I eat to stay alive now- not to feel alive. I used to eat for comfort, and I still do at times... But nothing like I use to. I would have a bad day and I'd turn to food for comfort and it made me feel better, or so I thought so at the time. What I didn't know is that my loss of control over food robbed me of almost 15 years of my life and I don't know why it took me so long to finally do it, but all I can say is Thank God I Did It.
Well, I'll try to catch you up with kinda what's been going on around here.. We went and seen the comedian Ron "Tater Salad" White about 2 weeks ago, and he was so funny! He did not disappoint, we all 3 of us laughed our asses off, yes we took our son and he had a ball. My son also has just had a birthday, he turned 15 on Labor Day (Sept. 3) and I just had a birthday in August,- I'm the big THREE SIX now !! I'm nearly 40, how wild is that?! I think it's pretty wild. 
We've been doing a few little projects around the house when we've had the time. Keeping our yard up and my MIL's yard as well. It's not been an easy summer. And work, work, work. Cooking and cleaning and walking the dogs, more work, work, work. I'm tired a lot, but I sleep pretty good on my off nights. I'm off tonight of course because I took a vacation day so we could go to the concert tonight, because my shift starts @ 11:00 p.m. and I get off at 7:00 a.m. and right now it happens to be 2:15 a.m.
My Mom is doing really, really good now. The first few Chemo treatments she had a really hard time with it, they made her so very sick. Now, she's doing 150% better and she's as bald as a bowling ball. Her hair fell out in huge clumps and she had small patches of hair all over and so I just took my buzz cutters and we sat in my kitchen and I shaved her head for her. I gave her a baby mo hawk while I was cutting her hair. I'll post a pic when I find it.
Ok guys, I'm going to go to bed, I'm tired and I have to clean my house really good when I get up Friday morning. I have to work Friday night and then I am off Saturday and Sunday this week ( *I work every other weekend* )
So this is my weekend to be off (THANK GOD!) I've had a rough couple of nights as far as working hard at work. too hard in my opinion, hahaha.. But anyways, I miss you all, and I hope that you all are doing well!! I'll try to not let "forever" go by before I write again. I am off this Saturday and Sunday - so I'll try and write Sunday some time.
I'm hoping for a nice little loss in the next few days, I'll keep you posted.
