Mother's day

The morning was wonderful. Krys brought me breakfast in bed that consisted of eggs benedict (1/2 order), the other half a muffin had strawberry jam, a blueberry muffin a glass of orange juice all served on a tray. That is the first time she has ever tried anything that involved so much cooking and she did a wonderful job. J. is getting ready right now for us to go out. He is taking me out to dinner. I just want us to have some quiet time together where we can talk about some things. Nothing bad, I just want him on board with this whole take care of me thing. I can't do it if I don't have the support of my family too. He has to be willing to be a part of the process without feeling like I am neglecting him or anything. I am hoping that I get a few supporters on here as well. I am going to leave it public for a while longer and also invite some people that I feel will be supportive and understanding. We really need to get things pulled together for all our sakes. He's the always harping at me about my responsibilty as a parent and I need to be sure I am doing all I can. Well, we haven't been doing all we can and we need to lay down some plans. It's about time to go so I'm signing off for now.

Movie night

For the first time in a long time we all sat down to watch a movie together. When we got the movies we picked up some snack items to go along. I was the only one who managed to stay awake throught he movie - not that it was boring by any means. They were just tired I guess. Tried to sleep in a little this mornin but didn't. Ahh well. I have instructions to not leave bed tomorrow until given 'permission'. :) Mom called today from Alaska - they are celebrating today to avoid crowds. We are celebrating with Karen on the 23 because she is busy tomorrow. Well, I might write more later...have chores to do want to do a little research.

Today was better...

Today was a quick day with work, getting Krystal, going to physical therapy and then home for dinner. Dinner was easy though, Karen sent left overs; home-made chili and some ham hocks and beans. Krystal made some cornbread and dinner was done!! Now I'm watching "Medium" and will be heading for bed soon. Thought I better stick with my commitment though and write down what I ate today.
BR - 1/2 bagel w/Swiss; OJ w/ grapefruit seed extract

LN - 1 1/2 Jack-in-the-box chicken strips & 1/2 a small fry

DN - 2 cups chili w/ 1/8 C cheese; 2 pieces cornbread

I know I didn't drink enough water today because I didn't refill my bottle at school. I should refill it at least twice. I'm not 'teaching' since we are testing so I am doing less talking/moving which means I don't get as thirsty.

Decided I am going to post my weight on Sunday. Don't really want to and I can come up with all kinds of reasons to wait but it is just putting off the inevitable. I either do this or I don't - and being open about what I weigh is part of the deal.

I'm watching more tv than writing - it's the 2-hour "Medium". Goodnight.
