Good Morning,

Patty, thinking about your sister and keeping her in my thoughts and prayers. I do hope that she will be able to get in and see the doctor.

Grace-good luck to your DS and his new house venture. Hope everything goes well for them.

Margo-enjoy your time away from cubeville.

Li-Deb-sounds like a fun time with the girls in NYC!

It was a whirlwind weekend and I'm definitely not ready for a new work week. The shower was very nice and DD was very surprised. The whole story about DD being in Atlantic City worked so well. I know she really enjoyed herself and it was a nice mix of friends and family. And, no the drop out bridesmaid did not make an appearance. The MOH did a nice job of the whole beach theme with little lanterns w/tea lights on all the tables and pretty pieces of polished glass lining the tables. She had a big metal buckets in DD's colors of purple and green which created her honeymoon wishing well. The food was very good and a choice of champagne punch or mimosas during the course of the shower. She got some lovely gifts and of course there was gift from her cousin which was the ring bearers pillow which my MIL had made for her cousin's wedding. There were some sentimental tears remembering their grandma which of course got me started. We got everything home and it's now lining my living room. Other DD with the help of DS'Gf were great in organizing into two piles. One that will go back to the apartment and the other well-looks like it's going to have to find a home here somewhere. Not sure at this point where that somewhere will be. We ended up sending the XY's to get some things to put on the bbq for dinner and it was a nice evening with all children and their bf's and DS's gf.

Yesterday I spent the morning with younger DD and they left about 11:30 and then a quick trip to the grocery store. DH and I headed to DD's new inlaws for a bbq. They have a nice pool in their backyard although I wasn't quite ready to don a bathing suit for people I don't know very well. I did dunk my feet and the weather and the water were really nice!

I had another night of not being able to fall asleep which is becoming a big problem. I ended up coming upstairs and turning on the TV since I rarely have a problem falling asleep doing that. It was close to 1AM before I finally fell asleep and I was up at 6 trying to catch up on last week's laundry as this week's starts mounting. I will admit I went to a bit of an emotional meltdown yesterday morning. I'm not sleeping well, I don't feel like cooking or eating so I'm not doing either one of those real well either. I'm in a huge mental dilema about how I've rearranged rooms and having 2nd thoughts about how I've arranged things and it just kind of boiled over yesterday morning. The H just doesn't understand and he's just seems to be off in his own little world. I'm really glad DD was here to talk things through.

I have a dentist appointment after work to have a filling replaced. I'm not sure how I'm going to fit anything to eat in that time frame since I'll have to come home for a brief period and then head to the dentist. I don't like 6:30 appointments and then of course the mouth will be numb and I won't be able to eat then either. I still have ton of things to do around here. My checkbook is a mess and I have to make sure that any bills that need immediate attention are taken care of.

Anyway the work day is drawing near and I need to head on out of here. Hope everyone has a magnificent Monday!

Barely good morning everyone! I went to a different gym a little earlier than usual and took 2 45 minute classes. It was good to be home earlier and have some morning left. Yesterday was a great Zumba class...hope I stay on a good roll of exercising before I go to Maine with DD and DGDs...yes...we are going to Maine with the almost ex SIL's family. Hope we have better weather this time around.

Finally has some breakfast...egg substitute with broccoli rabe and low fat cheese on a WW pita. Think that comes out to only 4 points. Hope I can keep it up. Just looked at the calendar and I have my 3 month check up with internist Thursday and I do NOT want to be up again in weight. I will happy with even a 2 lb loss by then.

Nothing else going on...

Have a good one all...
Grace

Sorry you are not doing well with sleeping and feeling so out of it. I think it is the pre wedding stress...it can get to you. Margo had a good suggestion or you can try some melatonin...it is safe and not Rx needed. H's don't get it....

Well...you all pulled it off with surprising DD with the shower. Glad it all worked out and you had a good time. Sunday sounded nice too...at least you got away from the house and the craziness for awhile.

Hope the workweek isn't too draining..good luck at the dentist.

That was some story about your friend and you seeing in all of this that you are the lucky one.

Hope you get to enjoy your last couple of weeks of vacation. After all the rain we had it is hard to like more rain but after all that oppressive heat, I am sure it is a nice break. Rain is heading our way again...hopefully it won't last but a couple of days.

Take care

Grace

Sometimes you just have to go with it...those lazy slow starting mornings. But I do find the phone can slow me down too much. Another good reason to get out of the house to exercise. I hardly ever get to exercise at home because the phone will start and get me off track.

Love to shop at local farm stands. Can't wait for those tomatoes to come in. BLT's and tomato salads...summer staples. Oh it is turkey bacon.

Enjoy your time off...
Grace
