Short and sweet (no sugar though!)

Well.... I don't have to go to work today!  Teresa called and we have 4 kids in the whole school... 3 are going home at noon. lol!  So here I sit! I have stuff to do anyway. My house is clean but there is "stuff" I can sort through and throw away.

I lost 3 pounds this past week. That makes me happy.  It is just an added plus.  Losing weight is not my primary goal. Getting my blood sugar down below 140 and getting my blood pressure down is what is important to me.  Eating different is a no brainer. And I am enjoying not stuffing my face. I am eating less, eating slower, and eating healthier.  I take less on my plate and stopping when I am done which means usually not cleaning my plate. It isn't even hard. I am not struggling with this at all. God is SO GOOD!!!!  I know it is only because of Him it is easy. 

This morning Papa said "I am really proud of you."  out of the blue.  That meant the world to me. His compliments usually come when he is encouraged to say them. lol!  It means something when people acknowledge your efforts.  What is really hard is missing mom telling me how proud she is of me....and I know she would be and she would tell me often.

Kevon came over for dinner on Saturday night.  We watched the Bronco game and we made Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings and Julienne Potatoes.... his favorite dinner!  His birthday dinner.  He enjoyed it very much and we enjoyed visiting with him.  Papa really enjoys Kevon and respects him so much.  They have a good relationship.

Had a pretty easy weekend....doing much of nothing. Just some cleaning here and there and waiting and watching for snow.  He had flurries here and there and a little bit stuck.  Still suppose to see more coming over the next few days. We'll see what happens. The weather people around here are not always accurate....

Well.... going to go and maybe take a nap again today....like I did yesterday!  Have a great day!
