 First hugs to all my friends feeling low. Then I will help take some of the heat of Charlie, I did the same thing.  Got kids fed and off to school, but didn't do/get anything myself. Did drink lots. Does that count for anything? No didn't figure it would. I had a great workout today, igonarant as I was that it was partly wasted. Then shopped on way home. Going to use the meat smoker tonight, whole chickens on sale. So I got three big ones. Dinner, soup this week and some for freezer.

You and others said much of what I am feeling as Mother's Day approaches.  Last Mother's Day was the last time I spoke with my mother.  She died a month later.  Her dementia had been worsening and I hadn't had a meaningful conversation with her in years so I was already missing her so when my brother called me from my mother's room and asked if I wanted to wish her a happy Mother's Day I figured it would be the same but for the first time in years she seemed to have some recognition in her voice when she said my name.  I felt like she knew who she was talking to.  I told her I was coming soon to see her.  Unfortunately I made it there about a hour too late and she already had passed.  I cried and cried because she died alone.  My sister couldn't be bothered to interupt her vacation to say good bye to her and my brother left about 30 minutes before she died because he had to go to work the next day.  I forgive my brother because I realized that he emotionally couldn't handle being with her when she died but I was so angry that I jumped  on a plane with my youngest daughter, spent a fortune on her ticket (I already had one for a little later that I could use) and as I landed in California I got a call from the home she was at saying she had just passed.  I felt that as a mother of 3 children there was no reason for her to die alone.
Anyway, today I am planning:
B protein coffee and protein pudding with s/f Cool Whip
L turkey meatloaf, Nut Thins and Laughing Cow
D going to Outback, probably the 6 oz steak, baked potato and salad with bleu cheese.  They have a special with a lobster tail that I had last week for my boyfriend's birthday that I may get and eat the lobster tail tonight and the steak tomorrow.
S protein pudding with s/f Cool Whip
S sugar free hard candy, possibly popcorn (I always plan to have some but I am usually not hungry enough when the time comes).
