Hi Girls,
Well, didn't get much done today. I didn't find any Christmas presents today at all. We did get our car emissioned and registered and it passed with flying colors. That is a damn good car still! If it had AC I would drive it! My dh went out to dinner and our favorite little burger joint, and then went to pick up a few groceries. Tomorrow my dh has the day off, so he and I are going to the Outlet stores. I have not been there in years, so I am excited to see what they have. I am contemplating going to WW tomorrow to get weighed. Hmmmmmmmmmmm, not sure, my sissy says to get my butt there quick, but I don't know. I'll see how I feel tomorrow, if not tomorrow maybe Saturday. I have my grandson's football game on Saturday. My ds told me tonight that a Mother of one of the kids on their team was murdered on Monday night! I just spoke with her on Saturday, we were talking about those Hostess Snoballs! Her ex boyfriend killed her, that is just too sad for words. She had 2 children ages 8 and 4, the same as my babies. Those poor babies. Their Dad, her ex-husband is the assistant coach on the team, and he was just devastated, he now has the kids with him. She was a twin also.

I was reading the posts about Julie's and Karrie's Fathers, and you know I was thinking about my Mom today. I had a really horrible thought. When I was 18 years old, I found my Father dead in my apartment. I was thinking, my Mom lives with me, she is going to be 72 in December, and I thought, what if she dies here at my house? What if i find her? I don't know if I could survive finding both my Father AND my Mother! I have been thinking about this all day long. I am feeling quite upset about it. I haven't voiced it yet to my dh, and I would never say anything to my Mom, she would feel horrible and not want to stay with me, for that fear alone. So I can't really say anything at all. I know this sounds kinda morbid, and some may think that I am overreacting, but when you find a parent dead, you surely don't want to find the other one too. I have a lot to think about with this one. My Father told my dh not to let me ever go to his apartment alone, fearing that I would find him dead, and can you believe that he happened to be staying with me when he passed, so I found him anyways.?? Sorry to sound so morbid, just my thoughts tonight.

Cheryl- WOO HOO! Way to go on the 100 day streak! That is AWESOME! Keep it going! I'm glad your Panini turned out good, it sounded good. I was laughing too when you were talking about the toots! haha I think you are just consuming more fiber, and that is making it more gassy, like Karrie said, it will balance out in awhile. You pile a lot of stuff on your plate! You have so much that is needed to be done, doesn't that stress you out? I also have a question, call it the Mom in me! Is it safe for you to walk in the dark so early in the morning?? Alone? I don't know how safe it is where you live, it is very safe in my neighborhood, but I still don't trust anyone. As far as my feet go, they hurt me while I was shopping. Both arches! Does anyone have any suggestions on this? I didn't even do my walk on the treadmill today, I walked during shopping, and it killed me! Oh, and Chocolate won today!

Julie- I'm glad you enjoy your Bible Study so much, it makes it fun when you get a good group of people to do it with ya? Smart thinking with bringing your own snacks, maybe you can do that everyweek? Just bring something that you can eat, that way you won't feel deprived each week. Ha! My dd and my niece are working on their costumes right now, and it is 2 am here! Haha, nothing like waiting till the very last minute. How sad is it with these kids today, Parents are not taking care of their kids, and the kids are acting out earlier and earlier ya? At that age, you can only blame the Parent, the poor kid knows they can get away with whatever.

Karrie-I'm sorry about your Dad and his dog. It's sad when they have memory problems. It must be a very sad time for you, so of course you tears will be plenty. Cheryl is right, it is a relief when you cry, I know I cry all the time too. Sometimes, it is over some stupid commercial! REALLY? Sometimes I have to say to myself, REALLY? Your crying over that? It makes me laugh then. Maybe your help did have the flu? Seems like everyone has it nowadays ya?

Boston- HI! Hope your feeling better, please post as soon as you can!

Okay girls, have a great Friday, and I will talk to you soon.
