I went to see my mom yesterday! She was in such good spirits even though her procedure has been postponed until Monday! She said the nurses have been wonderful and the food is good when she gets it! That is because she had to go without it most of Friday, because of the procedure she was suppose to have and the postponement!

Well I had an unexpected work out yesterday! The hospital has a huge parking garage and when we parked I asked hubby do you remember where we are and he said yea in A on level 3, I said okay and that was it! So now we are done with our visit and ready to leave, guess what we can’t find the blazer! Well we were on level 4 not 3 and it took us a half hour of walking to find it. Hubby and I were both tired and sore by the time we found it…….wheeeew what a work out!

We have two grandkids overnight and of course my 4 yr.old granddaughter is up, but my 7 year old grandson is still asleep! It is quite cartoon time for her right now along with a cereal bar.

I have tomorrow off because there is no school for my prescholers and I am using that time to try to get my house back in order! It is not real bad, just a few things I have let slide since hubbies injury!

Have a great day buddies and thanks for all of your support and inspiration!

since I have posted!

First off I want to thank everyone for all your support!

I am going to visit my mom today! I have not yet as the hospital she is in is a bit of drive for us and we just got our own vehicle back this week! We had to refinance it in order to get our transmission replaced! My sister and sister in law have been keeping me well posted, but need to know things for myself. She was suppose to have a angeoplasy (sure I spelled it wrong) yesterday, but they had some type of emergency at the hospital so it was not done!

My mother in law not that is another story! I am come to the realization (thanks to Michelle) that all I can do is accept her and keep my distance. My father in law finally got a prescription for a wheel chair and that will make things a little easier for him.

As for my plan, well the eating seems to be going fine. I have not excercised like I should! I think I am mored tired from all the emotional things going on than the physical! I am still doing more of the physical things at home to as hubby is going to take awhile to heal and get back to normal. I need to take some extra time for me to get some excercise in!

I am down 3 pounds this week!

Well I better go for now! I have checked a few of your blogs this morning and will try to check on some more later!

Have a good day buddies!

my life is back to crazy again…….but what’s new? My mom is now in the hospital! She is having circulation problems in her leg! She has had both hips replaced and a year and a half ago she fell and broke her leg just below the hip. Well she now is using a wheel chair and her scooter not and is not allowed to walk on it. Well now she is having some tests to determine what will be done. They figure the pin may be causing the problem, but she must wait for test results.

I can’t believe even with everything going on around me I can keep my head and stick to my plan.

I am going to check a few blogs and then head off to bed. I will try to check the rest tomorrow.

Have a great night!

all afternoon! I think my main problem with it all is that how much it affects my hubby! It really hurts him and I am like a mother bear with her cubs when it comes to him as much as I am with my kids and grandkids! We hardly ever talk about her because he can’t understand why I can’t forgive her. I forgave a lot for years and I just got to the point where I can’t do it anymore! I have distanced myself for years and more and more in the past few. In my mother in laws eyes I could never do anything right from the begining, from cleaning my house to raising my kids. In the begining I would bite my tongue and be hurt and cry about it later, then I began to fight back and she did not like that. She got nastier and ruder because she knew she was getting under my skin, so now I spend as little time as possible with her and hubby does now too, because he can’t understand why she is like that. My kids don’t visit her much either because she is so nosey about every aspect of their lives and gives them unasked for advice on everything. My youngest granddaughter who is almost 19 months old and will go to almost anybody won’t get within 6 foot of her. I think I need to work on being able to forgive her, but still keep my distance.

Thank you buddies for all of your great advice!

Well my diet is going okay and I have been using the Ab lounger every other day!

Hope everyone is having a good night!

I made it through the party without to much over indulgence!

I feel pretty crappy though! My mother in law does not seem to be doing to well! She is only 69 and is in worse shape than my mother at 81! She has to have help getting up and is using a walker and my father in law follows around behind her with a chair! I think she seems over medicated, but I just still can’t have the compassion I should have for her! I have seen her do things to many times just for people to feel sorry for her! One day we were all camping  she actually threw herself on the ground and said she fell! I saw her do it and I was the only one who did not go running when it happened. She has twisted and turned conversations I have had with her around to try to make me look bad. A couple years ago when it was time for the family Christmas party I told her I did not know if my kids were going she jumped up and started screaming at me that my husband had told her they were coming and they were coming and to stop turning her grandchildren against her! I just looked at her and said, you are doing that yourself and if they don’t want to come they are big enough to make that decision themselves! She stormed out of my house calling me a f—–g b—h and she couldn’t see how her son could stay married to me! My then future daughter in law was here at the time and just stood there with her mouth hanging open! She went home and told my father in law that I had started and arguement with her! When hubby got home he called his dad who said it was all me and that his mother would not lie about that! They did not come around for weeks which was okay by me, but hurt my hubby as it was his parents! Then all of a sudden they started coming around and I have never recieved and apology! From that day forward I lost all respect for my mother in law and most of the respect for my father in law! I realize it is his wife and he doesn’t want to see it or accept it! I wish in my heart I could work up some compassion, because no matter what she has done to me, she is my husbands mother! I have two daughter in laws, like I love like my own daughters and I have told them to shoot me if I ever act like that! I am there for them if they need me and we have mutual respect for each other. If there is one thing I have learned from the mother in law of mine is not to be like her!

Well once again I have vented to all my good buddies! It feels so good to be able to get it off my chest! If I was not here on buddy slim right now I would probably be doing some emotional eating!

Have a good day my friends!

I know already I just feel it, I am going to blow it! Today is my husbands family holiday get together. Long story, but my mother in law was in the hospital over the holidays so it was postponed until today! She has a lot of mental health issues and has long before I met my husband! Long story made short, every year or so she feels like she no longer needs to take her medicine that she needs and stop taking it! She ends up in the hospital and gets her son’s and husband to bend over back words and cater to her every whim. I don’t mean to sound cold, but I have lived with this for almost 29 years. She has never really liked me and has done really nasty things to me over the years and it took my husband many years to realize it was not me that she does a lot of things for attention. I am the bad daughter in law, I am the only one who does not cater to her. I treat her decent but I don’t go out of my way to kiss her butt, therefore I am not a good person in her eyes. I have even been accuse by her of turning her grandchildren against her, needless to say she did this herself. My son’s are 17, 22, and 26 they see it for themselves and have not really turned against her, but distance themselves from her.

Today will be hard as I have to be on my best behavior and keep my mouth shut, that is the hard part, as so often I speak without thinking. I am an emotional eater and I know I will blow it big time, but then tomorrow will be a new day and back on track.

Wish me luck, I really need it today!

Have a great day buddies! 

I have missed you all a lot! I think things are going to get back to normal (whatever that really is)!

Hubby is doing a lot better, still in a lot of pain, but moving around a lot better! You know I might complain that he does not help around the house much, but until you don’t get that help you don’t realize how much it really is! I was so worn out trying to keep up with work, house work and him. I finally gave up and changed my priorities.  I took care of Hubby and work and what ever else got done, got done and my house didn’t fall apart!

I didn’t do to bad this week as far as my diet went. I lost the 2 I had gained and another half pound so I am good as far as that is concerned. This week I will get back on track with excercise.

I am going to catch up on your blogs now!

Hope everyone has a great day!

to check everyone’s blogs, but I am so worn out I don’t know if I will get to them all!

I have had a very hectic past few days! My hubby fell in the shower on Sunday about 1:00 and was hurting really bad, we called 911 but he made me tell them to never mind. About 3:00 he was in so much pain he let me call them back and he went to the hospital by ambulance. They did X-rays and he had two broken ribs then they wanted to do a CAT scan because they feared he had punctured his liver. Thank God nothing but the broken ribs that is bad enough! He is out of work for the week. I have not gotten much sleep because he so uncomfortable. Thankfully I had yesterday off, but I had to go back to work today! 4 a.m. sure came early!

Even with the added stress I am doing okay with the diet, just not the excercise. I am just to worn out to do it, but figure I am getting some excercise helping hubby get up, and waiting on him. I am going to try getting to bed early tonight!

Now I will go try to read all your blogs!

Have a great night!

Not really!!!!  The baby kept going for her coat she wanted to go home. So of course when I took her home, I brought the one who lives at my house most weekends. We just watched a snake movie she wanted to watch.

Well I am up 2 pounds this week, but I am leaving my ticker alone! I don’t know what happened, but figure it could be a number of things, not getting enough water, hidden sodium, or hidden carbs! I will just try to get in more water and look for hidden carbs and sodium! I am not too discouraged, because I just know that next week will be different!

My oldest brother is giving me his ab lounger, he is bringing it over tomorrow. He is the one who has lost all that weight I talked about a few blogs ago. He is having a major back surgery in March and his doctor told him not to use it. He knew I would want it. I am sorry he can’t use it, but sure glad he is giving it to me.

I hope you are all having a great weekend!

my well pump is fixed! We had it temporarily fixed on Wednesday, but my father-in-law fixed it right today! One of the waterlines broke when it froze so we had to duct tape the old one until we got the new one today!

I probably won’t be on much this weekend as I have the youngest granddaughter. She is 18 months old and boy do I need energy to keep up with her.

Hope everyone is doing good!
