Joanne,
Thank you so very much.  The social worker came out yesterday and explained how they worked the program.  She is actually the daughter of a very close friend of Doug's family which is good because she was so sweet and she knows what a good lady Hazel is.  Hazel has demenita(sp) so she gets a case of the nasties every few days. 

Faith is what is carrying me, that is for sure between no job and this I have to rely on my faith.  God doesn't give us more then He thinks we can handle. 

Thanks again, you are such a sweet lady.

UGH I really hate winter weather . . . I hate being cold all of the time LOL. We had a deadline at work today and I was already behind on the project . . . then I had to leave work to get the kids off the bus (early dismissal), cart them to my mom's and beg her to babysit for the rest of the afternoon. I didn't get finished the project until 7:15 tonite and by then the roads were horrible -- be real careful tomorrow morning if you have to go anywhere -- the roads were freezing up and people were sliding all over the place just now. I have to drive to Baltimore tomorrow morning, hopefully the roads will be salted and driveable . . .

Wow, a cruise sure does sound wonderful right about now!

Elissa, Mrs. Robino's ! Oh how that brings back memories ! That is where Bob took me on our first real date. Is it still on Union Street ? We use to go there for special occassions after that. I have not been there for years. Love the place. See you lighter. Joanne

Good Morning Delaware:

Welcome to our winter wonderland.  Down here on the Eastern Shore of MD it is snowing and laying on the streets.  The are saying it will be turning to ice later on.  So if you are out on the roads today please becareful and take your time.  You are worth it.

Things with Doug's mom are about the same but in some ways getting worse.  She needs contast care and Hospice is starting to come, I don't know if it is just MD or not but the way they are doing their Hospice is different then what I thought DE does.  I guess once her health gets worse they will do more.

I am happy to say that I am sticking 100% to my Day 6 on my 5 day pouch test.  Every day after day 5 is considered day 6.  I am very in touch with my pouch and finding over eating not an option.  I went to see my mom yesterday and she kept trying to get me to eat junk and I refused, I was shocked she did this because she knows that I am not allowed to eat that junk.  Maybe she was testing me, well I passed that test...lol.

Stay safe everyone and keep warm.

Thanks everyone. I got to the gym by 7am. There are now 5 of us Losers all there early.
Lisa, Tony, an unamed lady, Chris and myself. Seems like the early birds get the worms. (LOL) Some of the folks have joined the Delaware Tons challenge. Of course all we talk about is exercise and food, or lack of.  A little camaraderie among Losers and a little challange to encourage each other. I really look forward to chatting with others. We do have a common bond within the WLS groupies. I love it. I always felt like such an outsider and never a part of any group. Self image issues, I guess. 

Spent the day with my Mom at the Dr's and dentist. My brother from Huston is here to help talk about some of my Mom's issues and future health care. We did that for a couple hours. Then the family, both brothers, sister-in-law, hubby & myself all went to Mrs Robino's for dinner.  My DH got my favorite Veal parm, I got the chopped antipasta. MMMMMM. A little salad and a small piece of veal and 1 slice of bread@ butter was about all I could take. 

Home now on my puter. Wanto to call my Roomie, T, to make sure she had a good day too. 

((HUGS)) Elissa
