What a week. Such a week that it doesn't even warrant an exclamation point. I love love love my job, but the kids have been squirrely, and I've struggled all week with food. And even though my pants are literally falling off (in the Chick Fil A parking lot), I feel myself losing control and sliding back in to old habits. I'm being kind to myself, not beating myself up, and starting each day anew, still running and exercising, hoping that my resolve returns. If not by Saturday, then like it or not, it's back on the wagon. Back on the scale to face the music.
Until then...more gifts...
65. Singing “All in All” in church
66. Daryl’s arm around me
67. Holding a new baby
68. Hearing Daryl talk about when we found out we were pregnant with Hannah after years of waiting and wanting and praying
69. The case of diet coke we ordered being delivered
70. Sarah talking to me of her plans for the future, after “praying about it for a few months,” and “hearing God speaking” to her
71. Girls who like hats
72. My wonderful baby sitter, who bought Charlotte these shoes, after she said, “I want those Kay Kay.”
These are Twinkle Toes. Cute as can be--and they light up--and she loves them. As well she should--they cost $45. I don't spend $45 on shoes. Kay Kay spoils Charlotte terribly. Buys her clothes, doesn't make her go to bed if she says "no." Does everything all day that she wants to. How she loves my child....She whispered to Charlotte as she was leaving today in her new shoes and new jacket, "Your mommy and daddy will never know how much I love you." Truly blessed we are to have found her.
73. The smell of the heater being turned on for the first time
74. Chick Fil A dinner with my girls
75. Watching Maddy be an Indian in the school’s production of “Pocahontas.”
76. Sweaters
77. Girls in winter jammies
78. Starting each weekday in prayer with my coworkers
79. Sarah’s art displayed at school
80. “The Middle”
I am sooooo Frankie Heck....complete with fast food eating family and whispering child. Watching this show makes me feel normal!
we turned on our heater this morning too ... actually my husband did - our cats went CRAZY because of the smell!! It was kind of weird, actually! :) LOL
ReplyDeleteWell, here's hoping the rest of your week is all downhill, smooth sailin'.
PS I'm jealous of your Chick-Fil-A dinner :( our nearest one is 80 miles away :( However, I'd definitely have worse weight issues if we did though!
pants falling off? GO YOU! Sounds like great progress to me-and it deserves a little spoiling!
ReplyDeleteand that artwork by your daughter is SO good! of course, I can barely draw a stick figure, but I still think hers is great :)
