Good Sunday Morning!!!!!

Afternoon Off
  I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas.  Ours was good,  Kids had a good time>  It was hard on my part  like I expected,  I just kept reminding me that it would never get harder and next year would be so much better.  My stepdad was good.  Come time at the end, dividing up the goodies  we would have put up his share, He was there himself asking  for the quick breads please instead of cookies and candies!  Hes a bread lover and he misses my moms homemade bread.   He called here last night saying those small loaves are just the right size and he thinks he needs more of them instead of buying the store bread!   that's ok  isn't that part of our promise to mom to take care of the old man?
A good thing for me this year was getting labeled handicapped, the label isn't the good thing coming from that I am working with a job consultant to find a job.  Still don't have a job,  but thing are beginning to look up in that field for me. 
 Have a good day everyone

It's been hard getting on line long enough to read these forums. Being at the kids has been hectic.  Thursday night I had baby duty and let the kids get in 8 full hours of sleep.  Friday I told them I was tired and would do the early morning duty.  It was nice to do that actually.  I slept until 5 am and got up with the baby.  Yesterday we came to our other son's house and slept like logs in a comfortable bed.  It was a little bit of heaven.  This morning we got up and went to our old church.  It was pretty cool seeing everyone again.  They were all complimentary and I felt wonderful.  Pastor Chris grabbed me and gave me a big hug.  I sure do miss my church family.  I'm definately going to have to find a new church soon, and just bite the bullet that it won't be the same as my old one.
Good thing this past year?  My new grandson of course, and my surgery.  I'm only out 5 months and I'm down 71.5 pounds.  I never would have even imagined I could do this.  Now I need to start being more compliant.  Probably will happen the first of the year after all the company has gone home and we're back into some sort of routine.  I'll do the 5 day pouch test and then get back into walking the dogs in this cold weather.
Hope everyone had a great Holiday season.

Hi Carla!

I'm almost at my all time low from way back when I was about 22 years old....never thought I'd see those days again.  BUT, this time I feel so much healthier...back then I was starving myself (less than 800 cals a day) to stay thin.  

Anyhow......have you heard from the hospital yet about your job??  It's crazy that they are dragging it out this long.

I've been resting most of today...getting ready for a busy busy busy day tomorrow.
