Hello everyone

I got to SEE and talk to Amanda yesterday.  It was very nice to see her.  She looks exactly the same...except her hair is soooo long (down to her belly button).  She said I look much thinner...LOL ( I lost an additional 30-40 lbs since she saw me last).  We talked for a long while...about everything. 

But other than that I was very bored.  I guess I am just used to Chris and the boys filling up my time and now I have so much extra time.  I usually have stuff planned but my friends had place to go this weekend for Mothers Day.  My life now is no different than it was before Chris...I guess I just didn't realize how alone I am at times and for long stretches (like this weekend I was on my own with no contact since Friday...except for Amanda).  I have to get used to that again....I was at peace with the solitude before...and I will again.  

My day will be work and then a church thing/meeting.  What are you guys up to today???

I see the rest of the week will be kind of on cold side.  I know 50's is not cold but it's not warm enough to wear flip flops and capris!!! 

Well back to work...see you all later...bye

I'm in....ROADTRIP to Rockford........YES!!!!!

Sharon-  You sound so happy and at peace with your life now.  It's wonderful. 

I haven't forgot about that church meeting tomorrow.  I really would like to go.

Hello everyone

Yes I am having a very boring day.  I have nothing to do.  I have all my cleaning done, errands done, I even have dinner in the oven (I decided to make shepards pie).  I need a project or something to do so I don't have days like this.  When I was really overweight I didn't mind laying around watching TV...in fact I looked forward to it.  But now I want to do things...keep busy. 

I guess when I'm not busy I also have to WORK at keeping my mind occupied so I don't think about other things. 

I also have to make an appointment with my gyno.  There is something going on with me and I'm not sure what it is.  I'm only 42 but for some reason I'm not getting my period.  I know there is such a thing as early menopause...but could it really be that???  And NO I'm not pregnant ( I have checked so many times...at least 6...and I am guessing by now I would have some symptoms if I were).  I guess it could be stress with work and personal relationship crap.  Who knows what's going on and I don't even know if it's cause for concern.  I mean is it a big deal if you stop getting your period...this will be 3 months now. 

On the bright side I am supposed to video chat with Amanda today.  I have my new laptop and everything should work out.  My old laptop just couldn't handle it.  So this will be the first time since she left that I will actually SEE her!!!  I am excited!!! 

Well time to go check on my dinner...ya I know it's early....Oh well.  Have a Happy Mother's Day all...see ya

Good morning on this beautiful Mother's Day!

To all of you who are mothers--hats off to you! It's the hardest job in the world whether or not you gave birth to your kids. Some of my "adopted" children have given me the most laughs! My bio children are each a hoot in their own way and have been a real adventure.

We had a friend go with us to the store yesterday and change some light bulbs and lower some shelves so we can reach them. He is both tall and good at fixing things. We are really blessed to have good friends! His wife is helping me with the computer sales things, so we had a productive day. We have some shopping to do later, but Kay is out in the garden, weeding. Just a typical Sunday for us.

I certainly am getting more steps on my fitbit than usual. That's really good for me and I get more exercise without being aware of it. That works!

I hope each of you has a lovely day doing just what brings you joy!
