Friday Weigh In - Week 2 & Random Ramblings

So good news!  Most of the chocolate that was in my house last week is now gone.  The bad news!  When I weighed this morning I gained ...

1 lb

Whoops!  I really need to get my act together.  I need to start writing things down again.  I do so much better when I do that.  I don't have any excuses.  I just didn't do what I need to.  I'm going to forget about it and move on.  It is a new weightloss week and this week I will do better.  I'll be back next week with better news!

So I had a moment in Walmart this week.  Wednesday was Jason's birthday so I was standing in Walmart in the card aisle picking out a card for the boys to give their Dad.  As I was looking at all the cards meant for children to give to their fathers it suddenly occured to me that I would never be able to pick out a card for my Dad ever again - and I started to cry - in the middle of WALMART!  I felt like such an idiot.  I quickly got my act together and I don't think anybody saw me.  Grief is a funny thing.  Somethings that you are sure will trigger an emotional response won't and other little things can bring up feelings you thought were under control.  I still have lots of times that I'll have tears over my loved ones that I've lost.  I think crying is cathartic though.  I always feel better after a good cry.

The other day Bowen was talking to his Dad about his lego and I overheard him say:

"The connectors deconnected one time, but I reconnected them."  Not exactly proper English, but pretty clever all the same. 

Wow, I really did ramble today.  I'm off to make myself something healthy for breakfast - and to write it down!  Til next Friday - you will see less of me!
