Granny

Well, went to see Granny in the hospital today. It was not the visit I expected at all! She wasn't doing as well as I had hoped. She is being discharged today to a nursing home for 3 weeks of rehab. Those poor people don't know what they're in for!! She is very angry about being there to say the least!

My birthday was good yesterday (except for the year older part). The kids were really sweet. Megan gave me tulips (my favorites) first thing in the morning. Then she took me to lunch. We had cake after dinner and the kids gave me Son of a Witch that I've been wanting to read for a while. For Megan's gift, she is pledging money to the three day walk. I am so lucky to have great kids!!!

Update from the weekend...

Well, what a busy weekend we had. The kids and I went to Oklahoma on Friday evening. Saturday was Madeline's 8th birthday. Sean and I spent about 5 hours house hunting with the realtor. I don't know how that can be soooo tiring!!! We got home, had dinner, did birthday stuff with Madeline and got to bed pretty late. Sunday we did birthday stuff again with my Dad because Thursday is his birthday. Since we weren't going to see him, we just did it early. We didn't leave to come home until almost 6pm. It was a looonnngg weekend!

My Granny (Dad's Mom) fell over the weekend at her house and broke her hip. She is in the hospital. I'll be driving to see her sometime this week. It's about an hour one way so not sure what day I can go but I will get there!!

GO ME!!!

I lost 1.8 lbs last week which brought my total to 15 lbs. I was so excited because I was going to be happy if I had just stayed the same and not gained. So, I was thrilled with any loss!!

Weight Watchers

I am a little worried about my weigh in today. After eating out for two days when we were in Houston I'm not sure how I"ll do today. Wish me luck!

Breda Francis

I just took my dog Breda to the vet to have this spot on her ear checked out. It turns out that it's a tumor of some kind. She has to have it removed on Monday the 27th. The vet will then send it off to see if it's cancer or not. :( I sure hope not! Poor little Breda.

Trip to Houston!

Well, we made it to the Hilary Duff concert. It was a lot of fun. We traveled 4 1/2 hours to Houston to see her so I'm glad my daughter was so excited! After standing in several lines for shirts and everything else we could find to buy with her picture on it...we got to see her sing for an hour. Madeline was so excited when she came out that she started to cry. I wish I would've taken a picture of her face when Hilary came out on stage instead of trying to get a picture of Hilary. It was priceless!!! I really enjoyed seeing her so excited. I like Hilary and do listen to her from time to time but have never been a HUGE fan like Madeline. I have to say that I like her more now that I've seen her perform in person than I did before. She sounded great live....I was impressed! Anyway, I"ll put pictures on here later. On the way home we spent the afternoon in Spring, TX. We walked around Old Town Spring. It was really great! Then we drove the loooonnngg 4 1/2 hours home...in the rain this time. We both loved Houston, Spring and The Woodlands.

YAY!!!

I bought a pair of jeans today in a smaller size! It still isn't the size that I want but at least it's down one from the last time I went shopping. Tomorrow is my last day at work....finally! That is very exciting! Two days until our trip to Houston and Hilary! We just have all kinds of excitement this week!!!!!

Kids...

Ok, so this whole grown children moving back home thing is a lot harder than I thought it'd be. My 19 year old daughter is living at home again after being on her own for a year or so. She left the house today and said "I'll be back in about 2 hours".....that was 5 hours ago!! I know, I know...she's 19! I still worry and would at least like a phone call or something! Is that really too much to ask for?

Tickets

I couldn't stand the suspense anymore so I broke down and gave my daughter her Hilary Duff concert tickets today. We made up this whole scavanger hunt for her to find them. She wasn't as into that as I thought she'd be. So, she finally gets to the tickets...squeals for a second and then says "oh man, does this mean I'm not having a swimming party?". I couldn't believe it! I was crushed! :( Maybe this tells me that my kids are so spoiled that they just don't appreciate things!
She got a little more excited when I told her she would miss school and we would be staying in a hotel. But, it'll be a blast I'm sure. She'll be excited when we get there, (she'd better be anyway) :)

The 3 Day walk

I have finally set up my webpage for the 3 day walk.
