time marches on

Only 6 more Mondays until school is out. Then the hustle and bustle of a summer that is jam packed. No down time at all. Trips to Branson, Chicago, Port Aransas, Goliad, San Angelo, the gastric bypass in Houston...the new pool is up! This means only 7 more weeks of school! Blankets to make, houses to redo, a little reading now and again...I don't know if I can get it all in but I sure as heck am going to try.

I sometimes feel bad when I read other blogs. I have such a great life and I think God for the opportunities he has given me. I have a wonderful husband. My favorite thing to say about him is he makes a better wife than I ever could! He makes the bed every morning, does most of the cooking and cleaning, is great in bed, I sure am a lucky girl!

Then I have the three great kids. Yes, we have our issues now and again, the 15 year old is a little smart mouth, but then how many 15 year olds aren't a little smart once in a while. None of their grades are what I would want them to be but I can't study for them.

Is this too sickening?

I have one more diet appointment before they schedule my bypass. The last one at the end of March I had last several pounds, like 7 or 8. I want to say that I lost anything because of the new energy drink from Advocare that I am taking. But I don't want to sound like a commercial. It does taste great and at the end of this month we'll see. I have another diet appointment, then as quick in June as I can arrange it, I'll go in for surgery. It will be so weird not to have to buy all my clothes from Walmart and Target...or I will be able to buy them from the cute little western wear stores because they usually don't have anything over size 18 and I am waaaaaaay over an 18.

I have a friend here in town that is also getting bariatric surgery. I think she is going for a lap band. Then I have one more friend who will be more interested once I really lose weight. Are all my friends overweight? Not really.

I found some great games for the iphone, ZombieFarm, TapFish, and Tap Farm, not to mention a free Kindle download. Now on all those long trips I will take this summer, I will have games to play and books to read. Whatever happened to looking at the scenery?

God Bless!
