Julie I was so glad to see you had posted.  We have all been missing you.  I am sorry things are hard for you right now but it sounds like you are trying to come out of it.  God has helped you before and He will do it again.  I am sorry about your mom and I would just say go visit her as often as you can and call her as often as you can.  I don't know how she will react to it but you will know you done everything you could while you had her here on earth.  Please don't leave us here because we all need each other.  At least I know I need each and everyone of you all.  Have you heard anything from Angie for a while?  I would love to hear from her and have been thinking about her. 

I am happy to say I didn't make anything sweet but I did eat some sugar free candy.  I ate a banana and actually made a salad for the first time in ages today with ff dressing.  Its been the best day I have had in a long time.  Now if I can keep from buying sweets when I go to the grocery store tomorrow.   Talk to you all later.
