I love my family!!

And the days I get to spend time with them, talk to them, do things for them? THOSE are the best days of my life!!

Today didn't disappoint me. We started the day off with Cliff picking up Emmi and Adam. They came by and swooped me up too and we headed to the airport to drop Adam off for his flight home. That road between us and the airport area is pretty familiar. Seems like we'd just driven it. OH we HAD! lol The route to take Kennedy back to her mother's is the same, just a few exits further. We'd done it Sunday.

On our way back, we stopped with Ms. Em at the two story McDonald's in Independence. I certainly hope whoever's phone I found in the restroom stall remembered they'd left it and came to claim it. Anyhow, a happy meal for Emmi and burgers for us, mine with only half the bun, and homebound we were again.

We got a call from Missy and decided we'd meet her at BJ's. She was ordering little Miss Melanie's birthday cake for her 2 year old birthday party. I love what she chose. Can't wait to see it done. We'll be picking up for her on Saturday so we'll be the first to see.

After we did a bit more shopping, we took our purchases home. And did weeeeee purchase! All good. I'm needing to exercise. Water exercise is best. We've priced all the places around that I could exercise. For about what we'd pay for someplace that we have to follow their times and rules, we now have our own pool that the whole family will be able to use. Since this week is on the cool side, it's good working weather to get it set up. Hopefully we can get it set up and filled by the weekend when the temps are once again rising, rising and getting too stinkin' hot for Mama.

Emmi and I had a snack of little half pretzel sticks and strawberries. I guess the couple giant ones I handed her weren't quite enough. She disappeared and when I went to investigate, she handed me the box and said, "Here! Want some?" lol She's just something else. I love her to pieces and have so much fun watching her. She wears me out, but it's a blast while we're doin it.

After Rusty came to pick up Emmi, Dusty and Shirley (Darlene's mom) came by to work on parts of the favors for Dusty and Leon's wedding.  Only 3 1/2 weeks left.  It took several tries but we finally managed to get it handled. I think her idea is a winner. When they're done I'll have to take a picture to post.

I have to make a confession.  I've been very lacking in keeping track of my food and my sugar.  Our food diary books from the bariatric center ran out, I got lazy and haven't been doing the fitness pal thing and haven't been on a very good schedule.  I'm starting over.  Whatever weight I possibly regained, I'll lose.  I'll get a new book at my appointment on Wednesday, and I'll try to get back to semi-regular eating times.  You guys have to get out the wet noodle and smack me now and then and give me that kick in the butt I may be needing.  Your encouragement always keeps me going.  I don't want to beg off by using excuses, but the stress of late hasn't been real helpful either and neither has the fact I very often can't move.  I'm handling the stress the best I can and the shots aren't that far off to bring me more relief.  I'm really hoping to be completely back with the program very, very soon.

I know this is another short one and it's been a long while since I wrote a blog, but I have to wrap this up already. The knee is giving me lots of pain again. I'm begining another round of gel injections on the 13th. It'll make me human for a while. And tonight, like last night, my sinuses are wrecked. I think I just need to take my meds and try to rest.

But before I do, I wanted to let you know that my AOL email was hacked. I hope you didn't open whatever it was that it sent out. Someone messaged me that their virus protection stopped it and said it had a trojan virus. Man, what thrill can it be to hack into someone's email like mine?? I mean I'm no one important and my address list isn't some big corporate list of tons and tons of people. Well whatever, if you need my current email, message me and I'll get back with you.

  1. It's good to see you again, LuAnn. Sounds like you are very busy ~ as usual. It makes me tired just reading about all you do. It sounds like Little Miss Em is getting to be a big girl. I love hearing about your grandchildren.

    I hope you get relief from your knee pain soon. I am just learning about what problems knees can present in old age...now that I've had 2 bad falls, injuring one knee after the other in little more than a year! Ouch!
