I'm gonna miss you!

Another friend has left us for a better place. I am sure going to miss Sam Roy. He used to tease me alot when I was a teenager. Actually he never quit! When we lived in Florida and came home on vacation he asked if I was still married. Of course I told him I was and he looked at me and said he couldn't believe it. I was like, HUH? He said that my husband must be quite a man to put up with me all those years. I sort of smiled and he bumped my arm and said he was kidding me. The last time we were all there as a family he told me it was great to have us in the service and I had a fine looking family. I appreciated his kind remarks regarding my family and it is nice to have that memory!

AAAHHH!

It was nice to have yesterday off. I wish eating had been easier. I am going to try soft foods for a couple of days and if that doesn't help then I will have to see a Dr. I had given real serious thought to trying a Dr. approved diet to lose some weight but found out that you are strictly monitored which is a good thing but it messes with your system and you have to gradually enter food back into your diet. If I needed to lose alot it might be worth it but not for 25 pounds. I have lost 6 in the last few days by having a sore mouth! LOL! Hubby and kids didn't want me to do it anyway. I guess they think I am just fine the way I am or they were afraid I would give up cooking. Plus, I would hate not being able to eat the candy I got for Easter! Oh, well. I am looking forward to the day off tomorrow. Seems like my energy level is high right now. I got up and showered and fixed hubby a lunch and did some staightening up before leaving the house. I was glad for company on my way to work this A.M. Saturday and Yesterday stunk! I made the trips alone! On the plus side, walking into my house and having my hot tea ready for me yesterday was AWESOME!

:) :) :)

I'm SO happy! The schedule falls in such a way as to let tomorrow be my day off! YAY! We had dinner with Jason, Linda and the girls last night. I am thinking the only thing better than Easter dinner is 2 Easter dinners. I only wish I could eat.
:( I woke up Wednesday morning and the roof of my mouth felt sore and by the time I got home I could barely talk. OMW! It really hurt. I felt like it was so swollen there was barely any room from my tongue! Abby looked in there and told me it was really swollen and looked like I had a blister. Not sure what it was or why it popped up but I am glad it is better. I just have to get ALL better by tomorrow. I ate some last night but it was more torture than pleasure. :(

Wonderful!

I had a fabulous day off. It was nice to spend the day with my hubby. I just wish my girl wouldn't of had to work early. Her dad picked her up, brought her home then took the boys to work. Seems like someone is always gone but I guess in the grand scheme of things that is good. They are all happy to have jobs and we are happy for them. We took it easy all day. I think the hardest thing I did was make a Chef Salad and wash the dishes that wouldn't fit in the DW. It was greeeeaaaat! I got my new Country Sampler in the mail which was unexpected because I was so busy looking at the "Home" edition I didn't realize it was time for a new one. Drinking hot tea, looking at the mag and enjoying the chimes Seth got me last week made for a pretty relaxing day. I got the deck fixed up the other day and hubby likes it. The flowers are all potted and waiting to be put in the ground when we move. The invention of solar lights makes for a nice ambience out there when night comes. The only not so wonderful part of the day was having 4 wasps sharing the kitchen with me. Seth had a good time getting rid of them! He learned from his father that it is more fun to whack them across the room so they hit the wall then it is to just kill them outright!

Oh?

Seems like some friends are only friends when they need something. What about the times when you need a listening ear? I guess I always thought the friendship thing should go both ways. Funny how you can look at a message or text and know that someone is down or they want something from you because otherwise you wouldn't be hearing from them. On the other hand, there are the ones that you see and you know before you even look at it that you are going to be laughing because that is what they do best---make you laugh! AAAHHH, the joys of life!
