It’s only Wednesday?

I went for my test today to hear that everything is as expected plus they found a few other items that were not known about before that are adding to the problem. Luckily, nothing is cancerous or life threatening, only very painful and inconvenient . I have still yet to decide what I am going to do about the situation, but most likely will be going for a second opinion. The worst part about this all is that if I decided the inevitable, and get the organ removed, than I will have to rely on people to help me and the kids. I can not express how much I hate that. I can’t stand to be laid up. I don’t enjoy having to expect other people to help me or watch my kids. I guess I have a control issue, huh?So onto less depressing things… Is it wrong to be watching the show “The Biggest Loser” when I am eating snickers bars? I had to laugh at myself last night as I dug into the Halloween candy I had stashed and turned on the TV that was tuned into The Biggest Loser. I didn’t feel one bit guilty though :) I just laughed and thought about how one of those people would probably want to hit me if they knew what I was doing. Maybe this would be a good diet tactic. Everytime you sit down to eat, turn on this horrible show and try to eat without feeling guilty. I bet it might shed a few pounds. Personally, I have been counting my calories everyday, so once in a while if I have a few to spare, I can afford to have a snack size snickers bar, right? Unfortunately, because I use the facilities at Ty’s school to work out and there has been so many Jewish holidays this month, I have not been able to keep to my schedule. The center has been closed more days this month than I think they have been open. Next month will be better …

I took this quiz from Spice’s site… I have yet to analyze my results fully to decided if I agree, but it is quite interesting…

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood…

The hurricane has passed and it brought the best weather. I was so excited this morning to wake up to a bleak, windy, cold morning. I went outside to retrieve something from my car and I almost did a cartwheel on the way back in…


It was 65 degrees here and I am lovin’it! We have so few days every year in this temperature range, that when it does happen I am jumping for joy. There were wet leaves on the sidewalk and wind gusting little piles of debris to the corners of the yard. The entire site brought so much happiness to me, but also poked a little bit harder at my heart. I love the fall in New England. I miss it every year and every year I yearn for it more and more. This year I not only crave the fall days for myself, but my boys. I wish they could grow up stuffing leaves down each others clothes. I would love to dress them up in cute coats, sweaters and hats. If it were not for the fact that they would run probably straight into it, I envision us sitting around a great big bomb fire and snuggling together. So before we break our the guitars and starting singing Kum Ba Yah, I should move along…Although the weather outside was frightful (to some- enough to cancel school and all government offices) I dressed the kids up in pants, boots and sweatshirts with hoods and took them on a little excursion around the neighborhood. They had so much fun jumping in puddles, discovering the downed trees and feeling the wind whip against their faces. I am not sure who enjoyed the walk more, them or myself. Of course, there were a few un-neighborly people driving out for the day glaring at me and my audacity to take my children out in these conditions. I just shot them a gleaming smile and went along our way. These are the times that I want to remember. These are the times I want my boys to think of when they reflect back on me…

What day would you like to remember forever?
