Day 2

We are now on day 2. I think if I blog it tonights it will count lol cause I have a ton to do first thing in the morning. So :) will do it now .

 I did accomplish almost all of my goals today  but one ... The Y will get done tomarrow since I am going that way with a girl friend. She asked me if I would go with her to the food bank. Her family is struggling and she is embarassed ... so of corse I will go with her ... I feel so blessed God has given J a great job!  No reason to make two trips and honestly there was no time. I had to go fax something for Jessica for her drivers liscense, then a trip to walmart for a few things and a holloween costume for Jazmine (which I have to take back cause she hates it on LOL teen girls! ) then I had to do dinner. Just got done with a bath with Jason jr. and now its almost time for stories and bed. Maybe I can talk Jill into a new book ... fingers crossed LOL.

 Jess informed me today she is not sure what to do with college ... oh my how am I gonna get through this. It seems like yesterday my Jessie joy was tiny and screaming at the top of her lungs due to collic. I remember sleeping on the floor at the bottom of a washer on spin cycle in our run down trailor; the only way she would sleep was strapped into the car seat and spinning washer going. I would jump up and flip it back on spin cycle and sleep in ten min. moments for almost six months...  LOL funny now but at 19 I was so afraid of being a bad mom, so tired from working 12 hour shifts at night and stayin up all day with her screaming. I thought to myself " this child hates me" LOL now did she NO but boy it felt like it. and now look at her I can't get her to get up before 8 am without an attitude LOL . Unless of corse she has something on her agenda to do then she is bright eyed and bushy tailed.
 " Time goes by fast" people would tell me and until her 17th birthday and it dawned on me she would actually be leaving home did I understand that. Whatever she decides I will accept it support her and do my best to live without her right here. I am not afraid of her moving out I am afraid of what others will do to her. not knowing she is safe scares the living crap out of me ... but I will cope.  I have to put it in God's hands accept the tears I shed and pray for her and myself.

Wed.  is cooking day. Garnet ( a dear friend of mine) is comming over to make up some chicken enchilada dishes : healthy style: one for dinner one to freeze so I have a ready to go meal. We try to do one or two dishes each Wed. We also go through our coupons (I save so much money with them but boy I wish we had double cupin days like other cities)  and sale adds and plan what we will get and make the next week. It saves money and it is how I make sure I eat healthy. :) I baked two of the chickens today and pulled the meat from them put it in a baggy will do four more tommarrow. Last week we got them on sale for 79 cents a pound whole chicken only cost me 3 dollars :). Even if I don't use all the chicken I will freeze the rest of the shredded chicken for soups or casseroles :) maybe broccoli chicken casserole or something.

So because I can't go to the morning class till Thurs. guess they will start then. Not sure what else to do cept my little arm exercises but I guess its something. I was reading my devotionals this morning and it was enlighting. Reminded me that there is a reward just stay on the right path and God will keep his word and give us heaven. That is so true with life... I gotta keep pluggin along not let things like the class not starting till Thurs. get to me and stay focused. :) I know prayer and God will help me through this lovely thing called weight loss and his hand will guide me. :)

So today's goals will be simple::::::

Stay with the diet ...
don't get on that new scale today not till next monday ...
( why I did not own one I will stress about it)

Do some kind of slow walking...

I know I am not suppose to but my knee feels better maybe even if its just a block with the dog if it starts to hurt I will cut it short. sigh its so discouraging.... I was up to 45 min a day with jogging now and then urgh!!!! now this ... I can do it just not as fast as I was and with a limp LOL LOL but I am gonna do this.

I will also make my menu for next week and do my coupon and shopping list :)

this one is easy I love this saves money and it excites me to go to the store come out with a huge cart of groceries that is suppose to be two hundred or more and pay 70 to 80 dollars for it . :) I added a few of the sites I print coupons off of. and if anyone can think of a nice fall gift for me to get the lady who sweetly gives me all her extra sunday papers after her paper route that would be awesome. :) Bless her heart she delivers them right to my door.

Make the eye appointment for Jaz; she says the black board is blurry again sighhhhhh ... last time went through this with JJ they said he was fine LOL we will see

Last but not least. Enjoy my day to its fullest!


Thanks Connie and Amy I appriciate you both reading this and your encouragement means the world to me ... love ya!
