I am so happy I went to the proposal yesterday, I have never been a part of something like this before. They were both crying before the proposal even happened. My daughters friend introduced me as his 2nd Mom so I felt obligated to join them for the dinner afterwards especially after his mom bailed on him. I’m so thankful I was able to be part of his special moment. They are both into theatre and drama so a lot of their friends work in the field. He had a stage manager and assistant stage manager. His new fiancé was so impressed that his proposal required that.
I didn’t get the craft room or laundry done yesterday because I stayed out later for the proposal. For sure I will get laundry done today. Hopefully the craft room too, but I think the Gtands are coming.

So so happy for you!!!! Hard work and determination pays off!🦋🦋🦋1 -
@Snowflake1968 I'm so glad that you had fun at the proposal! It sounds like a blast. I have a few "other" Mom's and it's so special when they are there for big occasions like that. I really hope that you are able to get the craft room clean finally. I know that that has been on your list for a few days now. But have fun with the Grands if they come over. Either way have a wonderful day!
@Bex953172 I'm so glad that it seems to be over. I'd say take some time to rest after your eventful night!
@maryrobinson40 Thank you! I am so proud of myself! You should be proud of yourself too!
@Faebert I hope the first day of school was a success! I bet you'll be able to get into the swing of things again soon.
So I did get up with the DH at 745...then I went back to sleep for an hour and a half. And when the alarm went off at 10 I just let it blare for another 17 minutes. Not a great start to the day but when I got up just now and made my second cup of coffee I did drink it outside, sitting on my front stoop. I was going to go to the gym as well but they close at 1 today because of the holiday. If I hustle I can probably get some time in, but honestly...I dont want to. And it's almost 80% humidity out so there is no way I can really do anything outside today either. Hmm...Maybe I'll do a yoga video or something. I need to get some movement in today.
Okay...enough chatter. Time to tackle SOMETHING. Have a great day everyone!3 -
Well the DH and I have just been invited to go over D's house for food and a swim this evening. So I guess that will be my activity today!4

Goals
Monday
9.3.18
Oops! Forgot about youse yesterday! I didn’t make it to 10k steps yesterday so my goals are tweaked.
12K Steps
Log a walk for Mordor
Log food and keep it low3 -
My goal for today is to take it easy, except for my walk later. I hope to do another 45 minutes today. I need to watch and increase the amount of water I drink. I have fallen off for the past two days. And to closely watch my food - I never go over my calories, but I know I can make healthier choices. I was recently found to have very low B12 and am now on shots, so I am hoping it will kick in quickly and give me back my energy.3
-
My eyes are not a match. I know one is better but mostly I just can't see from it. Started drops in the other eye for surgery and keeping going on drops (3 x 4 daily) so this is not as bad as I thought!
Oh BEX yuck. I would have probably left the laundry until morning! I am just too lazy. Is your big one at school? Mine is supposed to be typing his test but he had to go shower? and I hear a lot of noise which just makes me wonder.
Goals for today MONDAY-sigh not exercising (no bending and no lifting over 5 pounds), WILL NOT go over on calories but we are clearing leftovers today. TAKE PILLS which I might have forgotten to do but will do so now. Hmm, might as well take shot, too. GET KID through online test and 3 other classes. Oops, almost forgot, DRINK WATER.
TUESDAY-Family History Day, First day of school to log time, Eye Drops, Sewing for service, watch calories, drink water, Be nice and do not grunt or grit teeth.5 -
Hi Everyone! Still receiving family and friends... Tying up loose ends, the financial part of the arrangements for our brother. The funeral will be Thursday beginning at 12:30 for viewing and service begins at 1:00p.m. Repass following.
The workouts have helped keep my stress level under control. I will be relieved when this is over. ANYWAY....

I'm feeling pretty sluggish/tired/lazy today, so my goal is to make sure I do my walking and do my yoga/stretches (haven't done it in 2 days, so my body is in need) and to study for at least an hour!! My goal is to not sit at the computer all day even tho I want to (it'll just make me feel worse).
Today's Goals:
Walk for 2 Hours (maybe add in some cardio & bodyweight resistance exercises)
Do Yoga Exercises, or Stretch + Meditate 3-5 minutes
Log Every Single Thing I Eat, Stick to What I Have Planned but Make Adjustments When Needed
Study For 1-2 Hours

*HUGS* You'll be in my thoughts and I will say a little prayer for you and your family.
I can't stand funeral homes and arranging funerals, I've only had to arrange one once and after that ive told my parents to have their wishes set out so I don't have to fret about it!

Oh gosh so many challenges for some of us at the moment. Thinking of you all and wishing you peace and strength.
Have had an ok first day back. The kids loved their first days which is great. I had some not great news about my sister’s MRI which means she needs another biopsy. So I’m stressed.
Also had a hectic end to the day as despite all the planning and prep my older daughter had a uniform crisis (needs a school swimsuit for tomorrow! For goodness’ sake why do they care about what swimsuits they wear?!!) so I had to rush from work back to the car then make it to the uniform shop before closing at 5:30pm. Hideous traffic, questionable parking, ran up the road and squeaked in at 5:27! So so tired and very worried about sis.
Monday goals recap
- morning workout ✅
- lunch and snack boxes packed ✅
- drop girls to school ✅
- head to work ✅
- April to sep challenges ✅
- leave on time to catch up with the girls ❎ swimsuit debacle

- Offsite training am
- Clearout classroom unit in afternoon

Sorry about your sister again! It must be an absolute nightmare. Wishing you both strength!
And I hate days like that! When everything is just so rushed and crammed in.
My evening has been like that.
We had very few ingredients to make a dinner so I had to run out and grab some sausage and potatoes, get home start cooking, I'm being asked for juices, snacks, the dogs dying for a wee! Got dinner on the table, made Caseys first home made dinner (I blended the boiled potato with some brocolli and carrots and a bit of her milk). Started to eat, Caseys food seat is a more a booster seat for a adult chair rather than a massive highchair, anyway it doesn't fit safely on the chair so I put it on the floor and I sat on the sofa, my plate was hot on my lap so I put the bowl of her food in front of her and got a cushion for my legs. And then I watched in slo-mo as Casey poured the bowl down herself.
So I shovelled down my dinner, got Casey in the bath, got the girls in bed with a film, walked the dog, started tidying, hoovering and all sorts LOL! It's like 10pm and I'm hoovering!
Got the girls in bed because the little buggers were still awake when the film ended. And now I'm sat eating a big fat slice of chocolate cake.
And I've not finished tidying yet

@Faebert ... Oh my dear Sister. Whew! Yes you are stressed, I can feel it. Take a pillow, put it to your face and scream, then take a bubble soak. Times like these I hope I lived close to literally give you a hug. I must commend you on what you've accomplished even with the circumstances you've faced.
You and your sister are in my prayers.🌹1 -
Had a great day so far! I ended up going over D's house and hanging out in her pool for an hour. She fed me and we hung out for a while. It was really nice and I got some activity in. D also gave me about a half a package of photo paper so I actually started working on my wedding album...4 years later. Lol. I ended up going through most of my colored ink. So now I have to find some replacement ink. I can get a pack of black and color for $34 which isn't terrible because Canon's is about $45. So that is on my list of things to buy on Friday.
Now the DH is doing his best to distract me by being about an inch away from the side of my face and blowing lightly on my face and neck! This is what we do to each other! Lol. I hope we never lose our sense of fun and play.
The DH still isn't feeling well after eating bad mayo on Friday so he isn't really feeling dinner tonight. I'm just going to make myself some leftovers again.
I hope everyone is having a great night!2 -

I also downloaded an app to “Walk to Mordor” (cause I’m a nerd) so I want to log into that. You have to purposefully log so I have to purposefully walk!
What is this magical app?! I need to find it!
Know what be even more amazing? If I added the link!

OMG! This cracked me up!

Hi everyone! Gosh I've missed you! It's been over a week since I had hip surgery and I have been trying to log on but by the time I do, I'm so tired, my eyes close. I finally just read through about 300 posts between last night and today. Holy crow! Lots happening!
I have taken notes but don't have time tonight to write you individually. I will hop on her tomorrow morning now that I'm caught up and touch base with you more. Thank you for all the good wishes! Surgery went well and now it's a waiting game to see if it worked. I fell down the day of surgery when I got home...the walker flipped out from under me and down I crashed on my bad leg. So I'm hoping i didn't undo what he fixed!

I’m so happy to see you back!!! Oh that fall must have been so painful, sorry it happened to you.
I didn’t realize you had so many family members! They should be leaving you out of all drama and letting you recover in peace.
Can’t wait to see you tomorrow.3
